So work is now requiring I use the Vodafone Secure Device Manager and Touchdown to get emails through my Android phones. One of the limitations is I cannot be rooted to do this. Does anyone know how or what the app checks for? My work phone is currently running CM 10 and I would prefer to not go back to stock.

I have just bought an unlocked skyrocket and I live in the UK.
I'm very happy with it,
1)It is running 2.3.5 and I can't upgrade it and shows a communication failed error there is an update but it's not available cos the servers are busy I went to device manager and cleared the cache and it still says the same thing. How do I upgrade?
2) What is the best way to remove the AT&T apps
3) what is the best and safest method to root which does a proper unroot later if required?
4)How do remove carrier iq as it is on this device?
5)Is there anyway to remove the AT&T branding?
I would be so happy if an expert could help me
Thank you in advance
This is the method that I used to root. But be careful when you do it. Supposedly this doesn't work with the 2.3.6 update.

After that, I used Root Uninstaller (in the market) to freeze or uninstall apps I didn't want. Another popular app to uninstall bloatware is Titanium Backup.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with putting the device back to stock.
Not sure how to remove Carrier IQ. I think this requires a custom rom (can someone else confirm?).
I've researched multiple rooting tutorials and have found a lot of guides based on the auto-root file from www(.)autoroot.chainfire(.)eu
However, I still do not know what to do with this. From my research I found out that there is a possibility that the bootloader is locked and that is the reason I am scared, if I brick this phone I will not have a phone for another 2 years. If I flash a new clear android 7.0.0 stock for the S6 without the O2 addon bloatware with the bootloader locked it will brick my phone since this is some sort of security feature.
What I want from my S6:
- VERY good security, I will be banking on it alot, using android pay, etc so I need it to basically be hack-proof etc. Im not going to install apps like lucky patcher which are not from the play store.
- A new clean stock version of Android 7.0.0 without so many O2 apps that I cannot uninstall.
- Root access to remove certain system services and increase my battery life
I am a previous root user, 1 year ago being on my rooted S3 which I rooted using KingoRoot with one click. Now I come back year later to a new phone 3 generations down with things like the locked bootloader and KNOX. Could anyone explain what I can do at this point?
Phone specification essentials:
Name: Samsung Galaxy S6 O2/EU
Model Number: SM-G920F
Build Number: G920FXXU5EQE5
Android Version: 7.0
Knox Version: 2.7.1
The device still has a simlock, and I was told that the sim lock is installed in the ROM. So if I were to flash Im assuming the simlock would be removed however I still have a pending order for the unlock code coming in 7 days.
Try with a TWRP and a Magisk' - SuperSU it's a will be less-stable for now' (Seriously who are be use at This for now?)
Addition advantage it's a doesn't Permissives of a Magisk (Still "Enforced")
Dear all i have a internationl S7 ( germany)
As it seems, i need to use the device for a little longer than i anticipated. I also use the device for mobile banking and some work related stuff.
Is it possible and advisable for a user with little experience ( i only rooted and installed a custom rom on a HTC m7 once)
to root and install a custom oreo rom on the galaxy s7?
If it is easy to do what is the most stable simple oreo rom, that has everything working just fine ( camera is important)?
If not, can i:
- root the device and still get OTA updates?
- install a free ad blocker that also works in apps without root?
- de-bloat the device without root?( there are so many apps installed i will never use)
thank you in advance

You can use all banking apps just make sure to install Magisk. Keep in mind KNOX stuff like S Pay won't ever work again after you root.
You can flash a Rom like TGP easily and it has an installer to guide you through all the options.
You will not get OTA updates on a rooted device even if you stay with the stock Rom. I am not sure about ad blocker but I think that also requires root and you can also not debloat system apps without root.
Hallo Everybody,
I used to hav my device rooted for a while, but switched back to Stock Rom and unroot. I get OTA and some Apps which weren´t running before work now.
BUT some are not, the phone still knows it was rooted once and wont let me use all apps.
Is there a waychanging that behaviour to fabric like new samsung phone which never was rooted?
as i use the phone for work as well my main concern is the not Working In tune App of Micrososft.
Hope there is a way to get that working soon.
thx in advance
There are some work arounds if it's rooted.
If no longer rooted Knox's efuse has been tripped by the previous rooting. Since it's physical device similar to a programmable prom, it can't be unburned.
Is this something that happens when you root a Samsung phone or my device has been compromised by shady software?
It is my first time rooting an smartphone and it seems that bank apps won't allow rooted phones. I am thinking about flashing an official rom to fix these issues.
By the way, I used this guide to successfully root my device:

If you are on the stock rom then yes, it will show security log agent notif.
And you wont be able to use banking apps on rooted phones on any rom official or unofficial.
You can try using magisk hide but i've never tried it so not sure if it will work.
