Hello,
I usually root my phone to replace the host file and some system fonts as well as to remove bloatware such as Facebook then I unroot and activate my banking apps etc.
Would it be possible to temporarily root my Note 8 with SamFail to achieve this?
Thanks in advance
No

Now we have root, is there a way to run apps that detect for root such as HBO GO and others? Is it a simple matter if denying such an app root privileges, or does it require un-rooting?
Thanks in advance.
Download rootcloak and the xposed framework.

Hi All,
I have rooted my note 8 with magisk. As far as i am aware, Snapchat wont work unless i unroot and log in, then root again? Could someone point me in the right direction on how to uninstall the root please?
Second question, i know secure folder will no longer work because the knox has been tripped. Is there an alternative way to hide pictures or an alternative to secure folder?
Thanks in advance

If you have rooted with Magisk correctly you should just be able to open Magisk Manager app and go into the settings and open Magisk Hide and select Snapchat. This will hide root from Snapchat.
once you have done that close snapchat and reopen and try to login.
All other apps that use Google Safteynet should pass automatically without magisk hide if magisk is installed and working as it should.
*You do not need to uninstall root*
however the simple procedure is
- flash magisk uninstall zip
to reinstall you just flash magisk install zip and install magisk manager app
all can be found here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
it would be a good idea to clear cache/dalvik too (first boot will take 5-10 mins after cache wipe)
As for a file hiding app theres quite a few apps on the playstore but nothing is as secure as secure folder. Your better off zipping your personal documents with a password and unzipping them when you need them. Heck i would not worry too much about security now your device is rooted you have lost a lot of security your no longer encrypted meaning you could fish anything that was on your device even if its been deleted by normal means.
Hello guys! I've been an android user since 2011. I have experience in rooting and unrooting some of my devices but with this phone, P10, I don't want to have root for personal reasons.
There are some personal apps that I need to convert as a system app though.
So does anybody know how to convert a user app to a system app without root? Or root -> convert apps to system app -> unroot.
Most of the guides here about unrooting seems to be flashing to stock.
I have also seen (through searching) threads about moving user apps to system apps and those actually don't answer my question.
If anyone could help me, I would be very grateful!
Thanks!
You could convert most applications to system using Titanium Backup with ease, you will need root, there is no way to write to system without it. You could unroot after it, and uninstall TiB, still, I don't get why you would want to do that, but it's doable.

I'd like some apps to be installed as a system app but I don't want root as some bank apps don't play well with them.
So which method of root should I use so that I can unroot and still have my apps as a system app?
Magisk released version 16 specifically to support Huawei devices and our issues. You can pass safety net with it and hide su to damaged applications with it.
On the other hand, not sure if I would trust an Bank which puts the security on the client side as prerequisite to operate.
Do Banks require to their Windows clients not to have administrator user? No, right? (in fact, Windows OS needs a local admin account to operate). As clients we should request equal treatment. Administrator in Windows is as dangerous as root in Linux, so Banks should be honest and stop bothering clients, instead of us having to hide from them...
Hello everyone.
So, I have been rooting my devices (mostly HTC) over the past 12 years. My primary purpose for root was for installing custom roms. However, for the past few years, I have only been using root for Titanium Backup to bk up, remove bloatware or freeze apps that I want to keep, but don't want constantly running & Game Guardian.
I currently have in my possession, a new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Snapdragon with 512G of storage as well as a new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Exynos with 128G of storage. However, I will be sending one back...
Given my latest usage for root, are there alternatives I could use on the SGN9 Snapdragon, return the Exynos & skip rooting?
I appreciate your assistance!

Root seems unnecessary with this device. Freezing apps can be done using non root methods. The only feature of root I miss is the ability to truly remove bloatware from the device, but the crapware can be disabled just through adb commands, so it is not a big deal.

Thanks, for the reply! Do you have any suggestions for apps that can freeze, backup & or a good non-root file explorer?
Cheers!

Root explorer is the best file explorer. ClockworkMod has a backup app that requires no root. I don't recall what it is called. Island can freeze apps as well as clone them. Just follow the instructions perfectly.
Are you in the USA? If so, then keep the Snapdragon, because it's the better device (seriously). You can flash the firmware that matches your US carrier. Are you on T-MOBILE? If so, then SM-N960U1 is the best of the snapdragon models/firmwares, because it is carrier unbranded, with very little bloat, and works with all Tmobile features (unlike other carriers). That's my setup, and it's VERY good with the new Pie+OneUI. No root needed.
Use ADB to disable/uninstall any bloat you don't want. Here is a guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/note-9-debloat-bash-script-t3907659
Don't run that script; just pick and choose what you want to disable and run each line individually in your adb shell.
Finally, keep the Exynos if you just need root and can get it working with your provider as well as the Snapdragon model did.
Thanks guys for your advice.
Yes, Atlanta my N9 Snapdragon is the SM-N960U1 variant & I'm on AT&T.
Unfortunately, I now have another conundrum. Prior to transferring my HTC 10 contents to my N9 Snap, my 10 went into perpetual boot-trip. When I finally got it to boot up, there was an internal storage corruption error & TWRP isn't available. In addition, now the 10 won't launch any apps, or read my external SD.
I had previously (& recently) backed the entire phone up on my PC, including TB & all the recent backups from within. However, my N9 isn't rooted. Is there was a way to extract the .apk & data from TB via PC & transfer it to my N9?
Any advice or suggestions are appreciated.
Regards,
Tobi

You can do that compeltely with root, by erasing the file from your root folder, or you can hide the app via adb and without root. In both case the app won't show up, but if you reset your phone the app will come back if you used the adb method.
Every apps can't be uninstalled/hiden without troubles. Some apps are necessary to your phone, but if you're talking about preinstalled facebook or something like that then no problem.
If you're not sure tell me what app you want to remove, I'll tell you if it's cool or not.
Here's an article on how to do it with adb:
