hi, I've boght some apps from the android market and I experiense that it's problem with lisence checking towards the market. How does this suppose to function? Is there any difference with lisence checking when your phone is S-OFF?
i have never had problems with apps licence checking in my whole time being s-off is it every app or just one
Which application are we talking about here, OP?
Are you allowing it via superuser?

SD maid Unlocker. It seems like that if I turn off wifi it revert to free version
yeh i am thinking to that it might be a denied superuser request
SD Maid dev here.
Super user permissions should have no influence on the Unlock procedure.
Once the Unlocker has retreived a valid license, internet is no longer required until you reinstall SD Maid.
If you get me a log of SD Maids start (you can use the app aLogCat), i can tell you why exactly it is not unlocking.

Hello Team.
I have a unusual situation. :>
I have my HOS rooted and CandyKat ROM installed. Everything is working just fine
Unfortunately, I have to install MaaS360 app to authorize my dev in our corporate network. After installation, I can not move forward, since MaaS360 indicates, that my dev is rooted ;>>
Q: what should/can I do, to have my HOS indicating as un-rooted but still have my lovely Candy ROM installed?
hboot2.16 etc. in place... ;>
Could you try revoking root rights from that MaaS360 app in superusrr

well.. the MaaS360 is taking the control over whole dev after installation, so I don't think this can be so easy... nevertjeless, I'll try
update:
well.. ;>
it didn't work BUT, my Lotus Notes is working.. ;D so the MaaS360 is notifying about broken rules, rooted dev, but LN is working fine.. ;D interesting..
in case the MaaS360 will wipe my data due to rooted dev - any idea how to tell this f*** tool to treat it as unrooted dev?

I know for sure that was an app in play store that was fooling some other apps you have root (so the other way around). It could be that a similar app exists. Have you tried for ex an xposed module that block some rights of apps? Xposed works at system level so it could do the job...

I'm not sure, which "xposed" app you proposed - there are few of them in the play store.. nevertheless, I tried to use some simple methods, like remove su & busybox from the /system/xbin - unfortunately it didnt work.. any other sug's? in a worst scenario, I'll buy another used HOS, but I don't really want to do that..
update:
I tried things like:
RootCloak
SuperSu - Full unroot
no success..
update2:
lest take it from the other side..
let's say I wanted to have my dev rooted only to change the ROM.. I already installed my new ROM and I don't really need the root anymore.. what should I do to un-root my dev without going back to stock ROM? I don't really know what this MaaS360 is checking to find the dev. rooted.. (well, maybe google knows, I'll check in the meantime)
solution found... ;>
the helpful soft is....: RootCloak Plus!
and this is the whole procedure I made...
0) I installed and tried to run MaaS360 - this will allow you to add proper app to RootCloak in next steps
1) I run the SuperSu and used the "Full unroot" option - it will remove su and busybox from the /system/xbin
2) I downloaded and installed RootCloak
3) I added from the list following app: com.fiberlink.maas360.android.control
4) I removed MaaS360 completely - first stop the app in options, then remove from apps
5) I restarted the dev
6) I run the RootCloak to check if my added app is still added ;>
7) I downloaded and installed the MaaS360 again
8) After giving my credentials, the app configured its desktop and works just fine...
I'm just wondering if I can reinstall back SuperSu (because RootCloak should prevent MaaS360 from recognize my dev as rooted), but I don't actually need SuperSu right now, so I'll just enjoy my corpo apps on my phone..
In case of questions, please let me know
Thanks for all help and directions!

The Xposed modules should be downloaded from the Xposed repository not from Play Store....there was an Xprivacy module that block some per-app rights, I cannot check right now since I don't have Xposed installed

And then something long and complicated although the explanation may seem simple.
You have to unlock the bootloader. (if you do not know what it is, look on google)
You must obtain permissions Root (if not even know this always tries)
After installing the play archives Store manager who is able to get into the system folder of your smartphone (with root permission of course)
and so you can start to clean up everything.
NB: if you look carefully you will find here on XDA some guide that will explain what you need to do well. you just try
Thank you
Sorry.. i am just a beginner and trying to learn more.. and likewise i just want to make clear on how to do it.. i guess asking a query is not bad..
At first root your device if already done skip it download titanium backup app from Google play store after installation open it and del. The apps what ever you want .don't remove important system app other wise your system may brick.
For safety you can use clean master app. This app automatically give you details that which app you can remove withot risk and what happened if you remove that app.
you need root access and system app uninstaller if you don't have of them then you can try to disable pre-installed app from setting
i have same problem can't uninstall pre installed apps
Just letting everyone know of a tool I wrote for both rooted and non-rooted(KitKat) devices. So if your running 4.4.x you can still block all applications even from receiving updates, etc.. Most other apps will not even show the applications in their lists once the tool is run against your device. It is completely safe and will not trip Knox, etc..

Unless you have a script that is lollipop specific (not done yet...) your tool is redundant and less than useful.

My application is far from a script. It is a full application that will work with any release if rooted. If not rooted, it will work native with KitKat, It will also remove all associated data as well with removal, if rooted, and supports Xposed framework as well.
so its pc software to disable system apps? why not just disable them on the device?
either way, nice work (i do not know how to make a exe lol)

Thank you. Well, it doesn't just disable apps. Also, most apps you cannot disable on the device without installing some more apps to do it on the device. I am a person who likes less apps on my device. So when I was building this, I thought, do I want to install something to remove something on my device ? Agree to all the access privileges, take up more space, etc ?? So I wrote this.. It will also remove apps and delete all associated data with the app. if rooted. Allow people to share blocked lists and allow you to import and export blocked and unblocked lists as well as many other things.

yea, options are always good.. i for one would rather have a rom without the bloat to begin with lol. you can disable most system apps without root in the application manager so you only need to install lets say tibu on rooted devices to remove them but to me tibu is essential for any rom

Been there. A lot of users want stock though.

Some other app that you've installed is doing it.
Have you rooted your device?
What method did you use to root it?
Did you use Kingroot or KingoRoot?

It absolutely has to to be something you installed.
You didn't answer me question, by the way.
Did you root your device with Kingroot or KingoRoot? If so, that is what is doing it.

not with kingroot!
i rooted it with framaroot about a year ago.but the 'self install' thing began two weeks ago. new apps i hv installed are AIDE,,SCR pro & apk editor pr
Go to “developerettingUncheckInstall apps from external sources”(or something like that).
If the app is installing from play store delete the last install app. It maybe any thing like anti virus, phone booster, battery booster, twrp, recovery etc.
If the app is not installing from play store but downloading from internet then Go to settings> enable developer options> uncheck the box which says “Install apps from un trusted sources (or something like that). Then uninstall the last installed app or the app which u think is causing this issue. Same as above list.
Try closing all tabs in ur browser also.
Then install C cleaner app. Run it. Delete the files which u don't know. Then back to normal

Use a firewall, and block internet access to the two OTA apps. After go to Settings 》 Apps and look for the two OTA apps. Clear cache and data.

Try NoRoot Data Firewall from the Play Store.
There are two apps that have "OTA" in the name. I forget the full name right now.

Hi all. I've successfully rooted my Fire 10 (2017) using retyre's excellent offline rooting guide. I never (and still have not) connected to wifi and sideloaded 5.6.2.0 from what was previously at 5.5.0.0
After root, I've installed Google Play Store with forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77125897&postcount=80
Installed Xposed Framework Installer APK, but have yet to install the actual Xposed SDK because that requires an internet connection to retrieve the SDK. And I haven't downloaded a root file explorer yet, either.
Anyways, I've read and read before doing all these things, but there's one more thing to figure out before I finally connect to wifi.
What's the correct way to prevent Amazon from pushing a ROM OTA? I've seen 2 different implementations posted around the forums.

How to install Xposed & Flashfire for easy backups and ROM updates
How to enable Amazon packages (apk) updates but prevent the ROM updates (keeping root & rootable rom).
1) Edit /system/build.prop and change ro.build.version.number to have "9" as the first value instead of "5", as recommended in this link
2) Reboot
3) Enable OTA by ensuring that /system/priv-app/DeviceSoftwareOTA/DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk is renamed back to apk from apk_
4) Reboot
At this point the Fire will download a lot of apk packages, and will update Amazon system components (keeping FireOS version the same).

-Someone help explain why one is better than the other?
-Will setting up a firewall prevent Amazon's apps as well as system firmware from being updated?
-Is the firewall implementation equally as effective as changing the DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk to DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk_?
-Is changing the build number in /system/build.prop to 987654321 all we actually need to do to protect us from firmware updates?
I did my best to compile all my relevant questions in one lengthy post hoping that it will help someone else in the same position as I am somewhere down the line.

This method worked for me after rooting using the offline root guide. When I go into System Updates and click check, it just says "Check for updates failed." It does require root, so make sure to use the "su" command before the others or it will give you an error. I am on 5.6.0.1 by the way.

The methods can be ranked in terms of update prevention:
1) DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk_ blocks anything an everything, forever and ever
2) build.prop version blocks FireOS ROM updates (no threat to root), but does not block individual Amazon apk updates for various packages, so something like Amazon store may still update
3) firewall method is intermittent, and often people complain that it would still update even with the firewall blocking - this one is absolutely not recommended
I will do the build.prop edit then. Thank you!

I said Firewall because he didn't have root. A non-root firewall works, but isn't the most reliable.
Since you have root, go ahead and delete those two apps altogether. Use something like Titanium Backup, and then uninstall the OTA Apps. Make a backup in case you ever want automatic updates again.
