I have rooted my note 3 via towelroot (thank you so much geohot!!!). I have installed exposed framework, supersu, busybox and safestrap. Here is the question: my note switches from device status custom to official. On some boots it will have the custom status icon on screen. Some boots it does not. This corresponds to the system info as well....sometime shows custom and sometimes official. Why is this? Its no big deal i'm just curious. Thanks.

Once you rooted you customized the software. That custom padlock logo is a tattle tale telling on you! I believe your using an xposed module to "fake system status" in order to fool certain people. The xposed module is failing when you see this. It's possible an update, or setting was applied to the module making it fail. Or maybe it's losing it's superuser rights. I had the same thing happen to me. I used triangle away and haven't seen it again. It will surely come back on a factory reset I'm sure.
This happened to me as well and I know its not the xposed because I checked it. This has only happened 3 times and has not happen in like 4 days I checked my system and it says everything is official it did say custom the 3 times it happened I did do a factory reset and it still says official my question is has anyone found a way to unroot for warranty porpoises? Su will not unroot towelroot from what im seeing ...but if everything says official would you even need to worry about unrooting lol I mean if u just factory reset and sent it back I shows no sign of root its all official and no knox tripped ..just a thought ..

Freezing "sysscope " on my sgs4 removed the custom unlock boot logo /icon like a charm, however it still bounces back and forth between official and custom on device status when looking.

Remove "busy box" file in XBIN system folder. Found this solution on a "Galaxy S4" forum. For a some reason a system keeps some leftovers after the full recovery done. Kinda wrong.
So i just finished the process of rooting my s2 tablet 810 5.1.1 and every time i reboot or turn the phone on and off i notice a message that says
"Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit: kernel"
Ive done some google searches and i would like to think its normal becuase i read in a thread that this is because of the knox trip.
however i also see threads dedicatied on how to resolve this "issue"
As some of you guys might already know if the version is 5.1.1, then you need a kernel to load during the process of root.
when i attempted to root the first time the kernel boot did not restart my tablet for me, so i manually restarted even though the option was set to auto-reset.
I now believe the process was incomplete because the tablet entered a boot loop after i ran the auto-root file. (Failed 1st attemp)
Second attempt i ran the kernel file and then the tablet rebooted successful, howver THIS is when the "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing set warranty bit: kernel"
is something wrong or is all good? gonna check if i have root after this post.
SIDE QUESTION
in the thread of the guy who posted about how to root he mentions how to put a custom recovery. Is that mandatory? or can i do this later when i want to install a custom ROM?
will post agian if anything important comes up after i check if ROOT
Okay so something interesting did come up. It seems i am rooted, however i keep getting a notification that an unauthorized action haas been taken and i must click on a restart to undo the changes that have been done.
its kind of annoying because it keeps popping up. I assumw this is the knox security.
there is an option for "sperate work and play" where i can install knox app in a safe and isolated space. what is this?
should i just ignore this poppup ? or is there a way to get rid of it?
someone to talk to would be nice right now .
This is because your kernel was modified to be permissive in order to root your tablet.
Installing a custom recovery is a must and one of the main reasons of a rooted device, it will give you the possibility of making/restoring backups, installing apps and ROMs between other stuff.
The anoying pop-up can be disabled by freezing/uninstalling SecurityLogAgent

I understand what a custom recovery does, ive had it on my two previous phones and have tried TWRP and CW.
however i only installed them because i wanted to flash a custom rom on those two phones. With my s2 tablet im looking to just stay with root for now, that is why i am asking if the custom recovery is a must? because i dont see any use for it if i am just going to keep my tablet rooted and not flash any roms yet
also any idea on how to get rid of that pop up in notification saying i must click the restart to undo the changes that have been made

Originally I said I froze and unistalled SecurityLogAgent, however I did not. So I did it now. I will report back if I go error free.
Thank you!
I am having this same issue. I have twrp recovery installed, I have disabled/unistalled everything with knox security symbol . I continue to get this error. I have wiped everything and started fresh and cannot get rid of this error. The second problem i am having, I cannot reinstall those apps with TB, I tried each of them and I even let it set overnight while I slept and it was still going when I woke up.....
1. How can I get rid of this error?
2. If I can't how can i get tb to reinstall knox or can I unroot without having these reinstalled?
this is everything I have froze, backed up, and unistalled

Getting rid of all Knox apps is good when you are rooted but the anoying pop-up comes from SecurityLogAgent app and not from Knox apps, as soon as you freeze or uninstall it the message will stop.

2 days ago i rooted my G800F with CF-auto-root through ODIN. (Used the latest CF-auto-root from here , with ODIN v3.10.6)
But after that my device is too laggy!
Much slower as it had 512 RAM. Root success was confirmed with Root Checker
SuperSU was also installed but sometimes i get a message that SU binary isn't installed.
I 've tried with "ROM toolbox" and "System App Remover" to unistall some system apps but i got the message "Failed to Unistall xxxxxxx app". But if i entered again "ROM toolbox" i found out that the xxxxxx app wasn't there. It has been unistalled!
Once Play Store didn't let me upgrade some apps, because it said that i must logged in to my account (which i was already logged in), and others problems like that!
What shall i do now?
Root again the device? Unroot the device and root again? Unistall Knox? (i've read somewhere that Knox is responsible for problems after rooting). Find another version for CF- auto-root? (the latest is for Build ID LMY47X.G800FXXU1BPB2 but mine is LMY47X.G800FXXU1BPC4 if it matters)
Please help!
Yes, if you have root you must disable Knox. If it doesn't help, you can try go back to stock to see if it's a hardware issue (it will still lag), then root again if everything is fine for a day or two...

I have this device for about 2 years. These problems have begun just after rooting. So, i believe it is not a hardware problem.
By saying disable Knox you mean delete/unistall or freeze?
And how can i do that?

I would first use Link2SD to freeze all related to Knox and Security log first. If everything went right, backup and delete files.

I freezed all apps and having the word Knox in their names. The phone isn't so laggy now but if i open some apps for rooted devices such as Busybox or Rom Toolbox they can't operate and got a message that my device isn't rooted. After that, no others apps for rooted devices are working! The SU doesn't open at all! All will work again after restart (except ofcourse Busy box Rom toolbox)
So what shall i do?
Unroot and root again? Root again over the previous root? What else?

I thought that CF-Auto-Root disabled Knox protection when used, but maybe not... I think there is an option in SuperSU to disable it, you must use it as soon as you open it after using CF-Auto-Root and booting again to Android. If it doesn't have this option, it's not only Knox that makes the security system that prevents root, there is SecurityLog too (and on MM I think I've seen Rootpd that probably is a root protection daemon). Probably it removed su when you were disabling Knox. If you can root again over the current state, probably you can try disabling security system completely this time. Check other threads about rooting G800F, probably there is a list of apps you must disable.

Thanks for your anwser.
The SU isn't permanently removed but only temporarily, because after restart it is working again
I 'll try to unroot and root again and we 'll see what happens

SuperSU is the app, su is the superuser daemon. Good luck.

So finally the problems are still here. The device is no longer laggy, but the root sometimes works sometimes doesn't.
I root again over the previous root, again the same. I unroot and again root, the same. I install a custom recovery and flash the SuperSU, the same results.
Initially working fine, giving rights to the applications but later sometime does not. With restart reverts briefly again.
What on earth has gone wrong? I have root many devices and all of them were working perfect!
I would like to avoid factory reset because i don't know how to restore my backup without problems.
Is there another solution?
Knox disables root, it can even revert custom recovery. Did you disable it, as well as Security Log (disable its updates in settings first), as suggested previously?

Yes, i disable some apps with the word Knox in them. I don't know if is still a Knox app with a different name. Is there a list with Knox apps?
I didn't disable the Security Log neither its updates. Where can i find them?
So, finally i have a rooted device which randomly unroot itself!
And nothing can be done!
I successfully installed magisk on my samsung s8 but now the secure folder, software updates and maybe other apps don't work as they recognise my phone being rooted. I thought the point behind magisk was to hide the phone from looking rooted?
how can i fix this issue?
thanks
You tripped KNOX by flashing custom binaries. You're boned.
is there a way to root the phone without tripping KNOX?

There might be, but I don't think there's any going back for you. As far as I know you can't revert a triggered KNOX...
I installed magisk because I thought knox won't be tripped but I was wrong.
Does anyone know how I can use secure folder, software updates and banking apps now that my app is rooted? they can all recognise my app is rooted and won't work

You can still hide Magisk from many apps with Magisk. You'll just have to activate Magisk Hide in the Manager settings. SafetyNet is added by default and any other app that detects root might be fooled if you add it to the Magisk Hide list.
I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again. The purpose of Magisk is NOT to hide root and pass SafetyNet (it's just a really nice feature); it's to make your system modifications systemless. You could use this to keep your devices ability to update through OTA, with a couple of extra steps. But, the main advantage for me (and it's the deal-breaker) is that I don't have to redo any of my system modifications after an update. These could be changing screen density, debloating system apps, systemising apps, changing prop values, etc. Before Magisk I could spend 30-45 minutes after an update just setting upp all the system tweaks the way I wanted it, only to realise a couples of days later I'd forgotten something. Now, with Magisk - flash the update, done!

I have activated Magisk Hide and selected the app (Lloyds banking app) then restarted the phone but the app can still recognize that the phone is modified.
I'll look at the other solution that are being proposed in one of the links you've sent and sew how it goes but if anyone has any advice on how to fix this, that will be great.
I have backup for my bootloader,boot,system etc - flashing that back, will it revert the knox?
Thanks

I don't do Samsung, but as I understand it: nope.
More info can probably be found in your device's forum here on XDA.

Realise this is a very late reply, but if still had no joy with Lloyd's banking app, it will store it's root detection so will still think your phone's rooted even after Magisk Hide. Need to wipe the app data or reinstall.
Hi guys,
I am using my 1+5T for almost 2.5+ yrs now and since beginning i rooted the mobile for trying new custom ROM's, installing substratum themes, ad blocking etc etc.
Now many banking/payment related apps, maadhar, etc are showing as my phone is rooted. Magisk HIDE is not helping anymore.
So, i uninstalled magisk root and still my OEM is unlocked. all the previous apps shows similar message as my mobile is rooted.
How should i completely unroot my mobile without leaving any trace so that these apps doesn't show rooted messages again ?
Any Idea ?
NOTE: Previously i completely unrooted my mobile & still many apps shows rooted so got to root my mobile and used magisk HIDE .....

As long as your bootloader is unlocked, they will report your device as rooted. If Magisk Hide alone doesn't work, try the "Repackage Magisk Manager" option in Magisk Manager settings. It works for me.

I unrooted my mobile but still magisk manager was installed so apps showed message "my phone is rooted". After that i uninstalled magisk manager and all apps started working fine.
Now i am unrooted but my bootloader is unlock.
Well, I still have that same problem. But only from Samsung Pass with an actual message box, which says that my device is rooted so can't use the app for security reasons.
I rooted my Galaxy S20 FE 5G SM-G781B with Magisk and afterwards uninstalled it with the Complete Uninstall method, but after automatic boot, that procedure only gave me some weird errors and I couldn't boot the phone.
It got stuck to this error filled download mode screen. There I saw an option to lock the bootloader back. Well, did that but then my phone got itself into a boot loop!
I managed to get to the download mode (in between the loops) and then it became even more errored and with all red alert stuff there!
Thought I bricked the whole damn device which I only bought like two weeks earlier rip.
Well then after some google fun time I downloaded original stock firmware to odin it. Well, nothing worked and always failed!
Then afterwards it became to my attention to try to flash the firmware that I originally flashed just before installing Magisk.
Heck yeaaah that actually worked lol and all bank stuff works and even software update and I now have all the newest updates etc and Magisk and Root Checker shows no root and then I removed Magisk for good and rebooted the phone to check any surprises.
No surprises and everything works, EXCEPT Paypal app and Samsung Pass!
Paypal just says after trying to log in "Please check your information and try again", but Samsung Pass actually says that "Your device has been rooted. Samsung Pass cannot be used on rooted devices for security reasons."
So what the heck!
I hate myself for rooting the new phone for nothing and now my ocd suffers for having that stupid whatever error stuff there, especially since I actullay USE Samsung Pass and Paypal!
EVERYTHING else works just fine, but not those two!
Grrr!
So all you wise people, can I actually do something about this or not??
Cheers!
@Hopeasilmu I would expect that the Samsung apps will now be complaining since you probably tripped the Knox fuse when you unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device. Once that's tripped you can't get it back...
If you need more info on Knox there's plenty available both here on XDA (check the Samsung forums) and on the web in general.

You can still lock the boot loader. There is a way. I did that on my Samsung M31 however I cannot recall the steps.
