Temp unroot for TomTom app - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

I would like to know if it's possible to temporary unroot my phone to use the TomTom app.
I saw that the superuser pro app has per app settings, could I use this to temporary unroot my phone?

Sorry to respond so late
You can temporarily unroot your phone safly with the checkbox in super SU (i tried it myself) I am unsure if rebooting while unrooting is okay.

If you get xposed you can use rootcloak, better than uprooting.

[Q]Private mode not working.

Just noticed that Private mode won't work. When I scan my fingerprint to enable it it says "Failed to enable Private mode. Please try again." Anyone else have this problem or know a solution? Much appreciated.

Did you install xposed? If you uninstall xposed, it should work again. It's being looked into. Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-s5-t2725405

Same error here
Well, it's fixable, but how depends on what you did. What did you do? Did you use xposed? Did you try the download booster fix? You have tell us more here than just "oh my Private mode won't work", and "same here".
I will assume you both used Xposed, since the only information is "oh my Private mode won't work". In which case you can just uninstall the framework, and that will fix private mode. If you tried the download booster, or something else, then you may have to flash the AP_G900A file from my tutorial in the general section, which will break your root until reroot and any changes you made to the system.
Rooted with xposed, few modules, few notification bar tile tweaks with sqlite, change the true to false to have UPS mode work, backed up and uninstalled and froze most bloat with tibu.

There are several ways that can be fixed.
It's in the Xposed Installer, if you have it click on framework and uninstall.
You can also follow this post, as it has worked for some.

or you can do a downgrade from the soft bricked guide in the general section.

Your mods should still be there, but just not working until you reinstall xposed. I'm not going to say that all of them will be, however. Right now I'm just uninstalling, then reinstalling xposed framework from the xposed installer, depending on whether I need the mods or private mode at that moment, until there is a working fix.
Other than that, you have to decide whether you want mods, or private mode. That's the disadvantage right now.

Did you gave root access to xposed? Do you even rooted your device?
Grab a logcat, it'll show the actual reason why it's failing.
You can also install it through ADB (or `pm` from a terminal emulator), that'll directly give you the exact error.
Yeah its rooted

I've normally only seen that error when the file is already in the system somewhere. I don't know the file structure of an LG phone and I'm sure it's completely different than a Samsung. Check also in data/app

You could also try rebooting and attempt to install it again. Sometimes that does work

Xposed not compatible

I recently bought a S6 and rooted it using PingPongRoot. I used Root Checker, and the root was verified. When I downloaded Xposed Framework, I try to install it but it says Xposed not compatible. When I try to download older version, it still says the same thing.

SuperSu tries to disable KNOX and failes. Any ideas?

I rooted my Galaxy S5 (SM-G900H) with kingo root. Then I installed SuperSu and while opening it, I faced a popup that said su binary must be updated. After some minutes another popup showed up and said supersu has to disable KNOX. I tapped on OK. After a minute it said Failed to disable KNOX. It's really bugging me. HELP NEEDED!

Who's working on root these days?

What devs out there are still working on root for the turbo?
Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
I've found that kingroot works much more consistently if you clear cache before using it. It least we now have a temproot for sunshine if jcase ever supports the turbo.

Didn't get a chance to post in either shiffty thread before they were closed. Did anyone notice those screen shots shiffty put up there were 5.1 but I though "his exploit" was being worked on 4.4.4.
Maybe I missed something, but I did find that thread entertaining.
My poolman is. But not sure how successful he'll be since he's still using an LG flip phone.

Could you post something more substantial than a root check? I can do that with kingroot.

There's something in the firmware making it hard to keep root
Sent from my XT1254
That would be WP dude. WP is why we can perm-root our phones thru the OS and is why it disappears after a reboot (Though you can just re-root using the same KingRoot app as before.) I'm sure you know WP means we can write/install the necessary SU binaries to the system. WP is part of the "firmware" you mentioned.

Just to put it out there - you can use a root app (after rooting your phone ofc) to set SELinux to Permissive so it doesn't keep forcing your phone to reboot. I'm testing it on my phone now. Again it will still disappear after reboot but still a temp work-around.

There's no question he wasn't anywhere near perm root like he initially stated (or unintentionally led people to believe-to me it doesn't matter at this point), but at least he is looking around. A lot of the devs on year old devices like ours and the note 4 have given up. I really hope he discovers something. Dmverity (which I think is still the culprit) is a tough nut to crack.
@jcase will eventually look at the issue, but apparently bootloader unlock is the most likely way around wp. To me that says that wp too hardened at this point and the bl is the better angle of attack. That is both good and very scary. My comments are based upon what jcase has stated recently.
So let me ask this, if I temp root, install an adblock, and reboot, what happens? Clearly ill lose root but will the hosts file get overwritten?

You wouldn't even be able to write to the host file in the first place.

To me temp-root is useless. I mean seriously, who wants to keep re-rooting and re-installing root apps after every reboot? I don't, that's for sure. Without write protection disabled you are going to be very limited in what you can do with any root method you use.
Oh, and I use AdGuard for blocking ads on my Droid Turbo. You don't need root for it to work and it works very well.
