i have a asus ME172v and i bought it used a few weeks ago. Apparently the guy rooted or tried to root with kingo root. even after a factory reset there is a super user app, but when you open it, says phone not rooted. How can i go about putting the factory firmware on the device and wiping all that crap off?
I used kingo root on my LG Spirit, and then used an app called 'supersume' to get rid of it and install SuperSU instead. You'll find it easily with a Google search, I hope it works for ya! ?

So,
I've had the phone for 2 months now. Did not root originally. Updated to AT&T's push of MJ5. Recently noticed that I get lockups/crashes periodically on stock apps. Like camera would start with black screen, or Alarms crash when they suppose to ring and would not ring. Decided to root but since on MJ5 used Kingo root. Not too worry about things passing on to China.
I was trying to get Isis to work and for some reason neither Xprivacy nor Isis root fixer work for me. Xprivacy did not do a thing - still got "you've got rooted phone". And Isis root fixer would let Isis work, but it would never complete setup. So I decided to go back to original unrooted stock.
Tried going with "First 3 Steps" in the Root-de-la-vega but running the EXE flash failed and I am back to rooted MJ5.
Should it work using Root-de-la-vega's exe to downgrade to MI9, so I can then use AT&T update to get MJ5? Or should I wait for next update and just accept it?
Do NOT use Root De La Vega if you are on MJ5. You will hard brick your phone.

Guys just use TowelRoot google search it and it would come up it the best root for G flex on 4.4.2 if you need a link let me know
UPDATE: here is the link you need to put in your phones browser http://towelroot.com/\
I have tried to use towel root, but it does not allow me to root it as it says device not supported. But thank you for your response.

towlroot says says unsupported im on 4.4.2
I have had my phone rooted for a while (Galaxy S5), but after the 4.4.2 update, i lost root access, like supersu tells me that i dont have root access. Other apps like the isis wallet are telling me that i have root and cannot get into it. I have tried factoring reseting and then i used the backup from the phone itself. i would rather not have root at all than be resticted without the root. Can anyone help me unroot my phone officially so i can use isis wallet or other apps.

There is also an Xposed module to hide root from designated apps, which lets you have your cake and eat it AND tell Samsung you didn't
I was bored at home today and decided to root my phone. I used this method: http://www.android.gs/how-to-successfully-root-samsung-galaxy-j7-sm-j700p-on-boost-virgin-mobile/. Everything went smoothly and root checker said I was rooted. However, nothing that requires root works. Basically i'm rooted, but root things don't work. How do I fix this? I don't wanna try anything too advanced since I'm scared of bricking it.
