Unrooting Note 10.1 so Sky Go works - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Note 10.1 where I rooted the stock rom a while back for reasons I can't even remember.
I now need to get the Sky Go Tablet app (http://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Archived-Discussions/Sky-Go-Tablet-App-Now-Available/td-p/1505025) running so I can watch the Hungarian GP when I'm on holiday (don't panic I can mask my location as UK with VPN) The GT-N8000 is a supported device for Sky Go.
The trouble I have is that the Sky Go app looks for rooted devices and gives a splash screen indicating the app cannot be used on a rooted device.
I tried a plethora of "unroot" apps, and then ran some root checkers which said my device was not rooted. Sky Go still says it is.
So last night I downloaded a stock rom to the device from Sammobile:
Model: GT-N8000
Model name: GALAXY Note 10.1
Country: United Kingdom (O2)
PDA: N8000XXCMF1
I installed this rom and Sky Go still says my device is rooted,
Does anyone know how I can fix this???

Apparently this works:-
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amphoras.hidemyroot&hl=en_GB

There is no root on the device, its a stock rom.
running the app you suggest gives an error "no su binary"

You can use this xposed module to hide root for specific apps: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak

Good tip but unfortunately not for Sky Go, as listed under "Apps with calls most likely can never be directly intercepted by Xposed"

OK a bit more info.
I read on the Sky forum that Go has issues on some devices at 4.1.2 . I have just installed the official 4.4.2 rom but the problem persists.
In the ODIN boot screen ist shows teh rom as official etc.
I also discovered the Barclays Pingit online banking app also does a root check and this too says my tablet is rooted.
Also it is suggested that there are two files apps look for to determine if the device is rooted. I'm wondering if these could stay on the device even through a ne rom has been installed? Files in question are:
/system/xbin/su
/system/bin/busybox
File explorer does not give access to the system folder, so I'm not sure how I can see without rooting the device again, which presumably vreates the files in the first place.
Any ideas how i can get to the system folder to check if these are there (and delete if they are) without rooting the tablet?
Thanks

Maybe via adb, but I don't know for sure. I dont have lots of experience with adb, so I can't really say. The only way I know to get to these folders is via a root browser.
But I might have an idea to make your app working:
First do a factory reset (BACKUP ALL YOUR IMPORTANT DATA! and take your sd out, because everything will be wiped) and update via OTA. If you're country don't has the 4.4.2 update, boot your device in downloading mode (volume down and power button) and use Odin to install the firmware from sammobile.

Nailed it.
SU would not run as the device had been unrooted, but it was still installed, uninstalled thru Play and both SkyGo and the Barclays apps run fine.

Hi! I bought the Hanspree 13.3 and noted that when I bought it one of the reviews said that it came rooted from the factory. Sure enough, I downloaded Root Checker and it says that I have Root. Unfortunately when I went to install Superuser Pro it installed but then says I need to update the binary (and I've done this multiple times on my Android phones or other tablets, it's a hobby what can I say?) it fails to update. I tried getting the binary direct from Sterickson and installing it through Recovery but that failed too. Busybox won't install because it says SU is screwed-up or I don't have root..
I was just hoping to find some ROM that could take advantage of this large screen, out of the box it boots and looks like a tablet for the sight-impaired (no offense) because all it does is display these huge icons and huge text (even after reducing text size to small). From all that I have seen today it looks like nobody is developing for this device. I guess we should be happy that we got 4.2.2 out of the box, at least we're ahead of most others..
Anyone have any ideas???

Ok. I have had the same experience and I found out the "solution" I believe. Did you try superSU? Because I tried to install superuser and it failed also but supersu did not. Try that and let me know.

same wish here
Mine doesn't seem to be rooted. Any fail safe way to check if it is rooted or not? Want to speed this thing up and get the programs off of the RAM. I end up with only 300-400 mb available.

It has a version of SU in xbin, but that doesn't mean that it is rooted really....
I have tried to get ADB to work, but so far no luck with that. I believe that I could get root to work if I could get ADB to work, but that is just a circular argument.
As to the screen, I use an alternate launcher. Apex in my case. It allows me to set the grid size and scales the icons to fit. Others like other launchers better, but I prefer Apex and purchased the pro version.
All around I like it, even without root. Still, I would like to be able to use GL to SD, Titanium Backup, and the host of other root reliant apps I normally install to get around certain deficiencies.
I'm also trying to root this device.
After a lot of digging, it looks like the su in xbin has different permissions (at least as far as I can tell), when comparing it to the su in my rooted s3. I used root checker pro. The permission of su on my s3 is -rwsr-sr-x root root 113036, while the permission for su on my SN14T71 is -rwsr-sr-x root root 67080.
The funny thing is root checker pro says that root ownership is present and is properly configured. The only thing I can think of is the permission isn't set right.
Now without adb (which I can't seem to get to work either, even though there is a debugging option in the android settings), I don't see a way to change the permissions. Anyone have any ideas?
My usb file transfer doesn't even work on this device. When I try to use usb to transfer files it remounts the internal memory and crashes the tablet, and I have to shut down and reboot to fix it.
I think that they messed up remote usb access period, and that might be why adb doesn't work.
I can use usb file transfer just fine. It only works through the OTG port, not the "regular" port, or whatever you want to call it. In fact, I have no idea what the regular port is even there for, if file transfer only works through OTG. My computer (running ubuntu 12.04) doesn't even detect the tablet using lsusb when connected to the non-OTG (regular) port.
And yet, ADB doesn't work with either port. They definitely did something wrong here, I just can't figure out what.
I can only transfer files via the OTG port and a flash drive. Connecting to a computer, and I have tried windows 7/8/8.1, only causes it to crash. We may only be able to hope that it is fixed in the next update...
Both external usb storage (OTG) and my computer work fine using the OTG port. Still can't figure out what the other port even does right now.
Are they still going to release updates? Hannspree's "news" section hasn't even been updated since 2012.
Ha. Your guess is as good as mine...
It is still my favorite tablet though. The Price/Performance ratio is good, and I love the huge screen even if I have to use the upside down tablet trick for better viewing angles. Mine does have the overheating bug though, which is primarily what causes crashes and wifi failure...
Rooting Hanspree SN14T71
I hope this helps.
I am usually a lurker and don't post but I wanted to pass this info along.
I was able to root my Hanspree SN14T71 by installing Mobogenie.
Install the Mobogenie PC App from mobogenie.com/en-us/download.html
then download the ADB drivers from here mobogenie.com/drivers-download.html
Put tablet into debugging mode.
Connect to pc then run the Mobogenie PC app click on the My Phone Icon in the upper left and from there you should be able to click the OneClick Root icon and root your SN14T71.
I have verified root access and have installed and run apps that require the tablet to be rooted.
Try at your own risk but this did work for me.
Good luck.
I've only had it for a few days actually, so I really haven't had enough time to figure out what all of it's quirks are. I actually got it to hang up on my fridge for the calender, shopping list, recipes, pandora, etc. It's attached using velcro so I can take it off if I need to.
Well I guess I'll work on getting it rooted occasionally when I feel like it, unless someone cracks it before me.
EDIT: I'll try that out wcbellaz. I'll report back if it works.
So I tried the one click root with mobogenie, and while it definitely did something, it didn't give me root access. Using the one click root, it actually moved the su from /system/xbin to /system/bin, but still doesn't give me permission to use su. Setuid attribute is there, and the root ownership is there, so theoretically, I should be able to use su. Then again, I should have been able to with the original su file, which also has setuid and root ownership.
One thing that is strange when comparing it to my rooted galaxy s3 is under the "root user is and group id status" in root checker pro, the contents are different. On the hannspad, it says the su binary isn't found or isn't operating properly. On my GS3, it says the uid and gid are both root.
When I unroot it with the one click root, it removes the su file entirely.
So I know this mobogenie app can in fact get root privileges, as it did mess with the su file. I just wish I knew how it was doing it so I can do it myself.

That is really odd. I just got my Hannspad in the last 3 weeks. When I would run Root Checker it said the device was not rooted. I have heard some say that the device would report as rooted but in fact was not.
If there is anything I can do to help let me know.
I am pretty much a novice at this but I had to root my Hannspad because I did have enough space in memory left for apps, and needed to install Link2SD. In my opinion the only major drawback to this device is the 1GB memory. But for the $226 that this tablet was offered on Amazon was too good a deal to pass up.
Tried Mobogenie, and it seemed to install the correct driver and the driver pack was not needed - I had already started the install on the drivers though...
Sigh...
Got root, it uses a root app that I have never heard of - Kinguser - so I mistakenly installed SuperSU, which then asked me to update the superuser binary...
I am now in the process of restarting to find out if I messed up my root access.
Sigh...
Update:
Apparently I didn't lose root, so I have installed some of my root requiring favorites to see how they work.
The oneclick seems to update the su in xbin, and they put a link to it in bin with full permissions.
I have tried three apps that successfully report gaining su permissions, Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, and GL to SD.
I want to try the move updates to system option in TB, to free up some space, but I am currently too chicken.
Sigh...
Whelp, Titanium Backup works anyway...
Update 2:
I installed SuperSU ( re-installed it actually ) and did the normal binary update. Then I uninstalled Kinguser manually by using Root Explorer to delete its apk in SYSTEM ( superuser ). Then I restarted and deleted all traces of Mobogenie and its daemon as they were slowing down my tablet, and the daemon died hard ( I can imagine that it was tied into all sorts of things ).
I have confirmed that I still have root access, and I just didn't like all that Mobogenie stuff on my tablet.
Happy now

Awesome.
You lost me on the binary stuff.
In your opinion should I uninstall the Kinguser as you did and install SuperSu. there seems to be no difference to me in performance after the Mobogenie root. I really don't want anything on this tablet other than the stuff I have to have.

The Kinguser seems to work fine, I just like using what I am used to and I couldn't find much info on Kinguser superuser app ( in english anyway ) so...
It does have a lot more configuration options than SuperSU, which could be a good thing. Your guess is as good as mine...
Hold the phone. Kinguser? I have never heard of this, nor has it been installed on my tablet by the one click root.
I did install SuperSU and tried updating the binary (without success) before trying mobogenie to see if I could get it to work. This wouldn't have screwed me over in any way, would it?
EDIT: Just to be sure, you both are running the latest OTA update, right?

Version 1.1.4 dated 11/23/2013
I used a laptop running windows 7, and installed Mobogenie ( I also, perhaps unnecessarily, installed the adb driver pack ). I then connected my tablet and Mobogenie reported a connection - it reported the available memory both internally and on the sd card and it could see my installed applications, after which I used the one click root. The Mobogenie app and daemon were installed along with an updated su and the Kinguser superuser app.
As far as I know trying to install SuperSU previously shouldn't have any effect on the process since I did that too.

can I change to another root?

Hi,
My android 4.0.4 cellphone is rooted already. It says: su version: 3.30, software version:3.3.5.52.
But I'd like to make a change ---- for some app I'd like NOT to see the popup "root access granted". Mine just does not have this option. I see several supersu apps that can switch single app notice. I've tried these supersu apps, none of them can override my older one. I even tried one that needs install in recovery mode, it does not override, either, and a lot of trouble to uninstall it.
So, what am I supposed to do?

I dont think that if you install first supersu me and then kingroot your tab, after root turn wifi off and use supersu me, no data sent to anyone........ anyways it doesnt send your passowords etc to china, just like browser data and few app datas.... but theres no way to get passwords.... all are crypted or hidden well in smali

I wouldn't be sure about that. If you type in your password, once rooted, anything can easily capture the keyboard input and log it or send it out. Let me elaborate. It's like the guys who say, "Hey I have a firewall installed so it cannot communicate out." Yeah, o.k., so all the firewalls do is manage IPTABLES, so if I am an application and have root access, I can do what I want to avoid your firewall rules quite easily. Just a thought.
Hmm, updating the binary will remove the @#$%&* thing , we're just going to use the app to root our phone, and I guess wiping cache and dalvik is necessary
BTW tab 4 is best for gaming because of it looks and size but due to a stupid Samsung company, 1.2ghz + vivante gc1000 expect lagging, I hope some kind hearted will make a custom kernel for overclocking this tab.
BTW There's no Tex plugin on gltools, installing default will not work, so you have to find a cracked version of gltools, well if you do that... R.I.P expect force closes

Well i didnt say anything about firewalls i was daying if you manually disable wifi and use king root, it wont be able to connect anywhere to send any data.... also you can search by date and time files made during root session and remove everything to prevent any keyloger to work
Have ODIN and a stock image ready!!!
Be careful with this root process! The sm-t237p 5.1.1 OH7 boot loops and won't hold the root or Philz recovery... Yet!:cyclops:

No. I can easily change the file and date stamp to match any given system file you already have so that it is not easy to find. Also, Kingroot will not run correctly and root your device properly if it cannot contact it's servers to download the proper exploit for your device. Now, if you are talking about disabling wifi only so that Kingroot cannot contact it's servers after you are rooted, well, if you use any data what so ever, it can use that same data connection. As an example, I have to have data of some type to login to my bank site, etc..
SM-T237P Specific maybe others with PhilZ recovery...

Flashing recovery trips KNOX (no warranty or OTA updates) and the other method sometimes doesn't... Also, the recovery/zip method stopped working on lollipop and marshmallow with the older SuperSU builds but... Chainfire has a new BETA SuperSU 2.6X that is a systemless root and now working on the newer Android builds using the recovery/zip method. This seems to work for mostly ALL Samsung and Nexus devices... Read about it here:

I restored my nandroid backup in recovery just to try this on my sm-t237p lollipop and it worked the first time!!! All apps get root access OK except es file explorer(now bloatware anyway)... You might need to install busybox for things to work... :good: :laugh:

Flashing recovery trips KNOX (no warranty or OTA updates) and the other method sometimes doesn't... Also, the recovery/zip method stopped working on lollipop and marshmallow with the older SuperSU builds but... Chainfire has a new BETA SuperSU 2.6X that is a systemless root and now working on the newer Android builds using the recovery/zip method.

Problems with installation of Marshmallow on a Tab 2 5113 with 4.1.1

I hired someone not super familiar with flashing a custom rom, but who knew more than me. We got MM installed but I am having some problems. First, the only reason, I updated the rom was to get mirroring. However: 1. there is no mirroring, but there is cast. I have a Tab 4 and mirroring works perfectly with it and KitKat. I tried about 5 mirroring apps from the Play Store and they all require that the Smart TVs I have (Samsung and LG) be connected to the Internet because using the TV's internet connection is a major nuisance for me. That is not required with my KK Mirroring, and I am wondering whether I should get rid of MM and flash KK. Or, is there an app that will work without mirroring. 2. My SD card is now invisible. When I link my Tab to my windows 7 computer, my SD card doesn't show. (Additionally, come to think of it, none of my files show. All I get is an image of 5100, but when I click on it nothing shows on my windows 7 computer.) 3. Probably related to No. 2 -- Some apps seem to install, but I have no way to access them because no shortcut is placed on the screen and I have no tree of files. (Titanium Backup for instance, can't be accessed. However, when I downloaded ai-keyboard, it mostly worked)
Hate to ask so many questions, but this is what I now have. Would call the person who did the flash, but his wife is due any day, and for all I know, gave birth yesterday.
which M Rom did you installed? kindly mention Rom and recovery build number as well.
are you using any other home launcher than the default? how did you installed titanium backup? normal or copy pasted apk to the system partition?
have you checked the luncher setting? for instance I can hide some apps from the nova launcher but can find it with it's search bar.
check with the default launcher or any other.
did you unlocked the tab while it was connected to your pc? did you changed the mode to MTP?
I haven't tested screen mirroring with this device. although I checked briefly with a Samsung S, S4 and a G3 on a LG smart tv with webOS 3 using LG TV plus app, I had to be on a same network with wifi hotspot enabled from my device (didn't required a working internet) and selecting LG tv plus option from the TV.
I still haven't been used to with screen mirroring and cast. so others can help.
Hi Billys,
Thanks a lot for your response. My Internet has been down for about 2.5 days and that is the reason I am late responding to you. The CM version was 13.0.20160222-2140-UNOFFICIAL -P5110. The CM Recovery Version was GT-P5113 CM Recovery 6.0.1.0.tar.
The Launcher is the default that comes with MM. I installed Titanium Backup through the Google Play Store. I have been fooling around with the device and Root checker basic says that root access is not properly installed, which might explain why Titanium Backup is not working. Also, SuperSu won't open.
You asked me: "did you unlocked the tab while it was connected to your pc? did you changed the mode to MTP?" Don't understand the questions, particularly the second one. If you could be more explicit maybe I could answer the question. Thanks again for your help.

Root is enabled through developer options. Go settings, about tablet. Tab build number 7 times. Back out and open dev options. Scroll down a bit and enable roo & adb. You should be good to roll then

Champ1919,
I did what you suggested and was able to download TWRP from Andi's. I unzipped the file with the ES File Explorer. Nothing happened. Could you tell me what I should do next. Thanks again.

when you connect the tab to PC, there is a logo of CM in the status bar, drag the notification menu, and tap the CM menu, there, check If MTP is enabled or it's set on charging only mode. you can also set this in setting-developer. make sure the keypad is not locked as well

Billys,
There was no CM logo, but went to settings and USB and you were right. Now I can view the files of my tablet on my PC. Thanks a lot.
Smart-T "if you want install or upgrade twrp, dont extract the zip. boot into recovery and install it with your current recovery. "
I did the recovery boot, and it shows CWM v. 6.0.1.0. It also shows install zip from sd card. However, I have multiple zips on my sd card. How can I be sure that it is installing the right zip? Will it automatically grab the right zip file.?

It won't automatically get the zip file because you select the zip you flash. Just navigate to whet you put the zip and flash that

install the latest twrp by using cwm. after install reboot back into recovery. you shuold see the graphical differences between twrp and cwm.
To make a long story short, it appears that my Superuser is misbehaving. Used root checker to analyze and it found that Superuser was installed and that SU Binary files were installed. However, it found a Root User Account Error. (Error: stderr: null, stdout: null, exit..value: 1) It suggested that I reinstall Superuser app from TWRP. .
After much experimentation, I can get into TWRP when I reboot in the recovery mode. (not when I hit the icon on home page -- tells me I need root access) When I hit install, I see CWM 13, An android 4.4 (omni-4-4-4-20160305-1323 expresso-HOMEMADE.zip) and a gapp 6 --- a long time ago when I downloaded 4.4, I didn't know how to get to the corresponding gapp, so I didn't do so. Also, SuperUser doesn't show up at this place, so I don't know how to reinstall it.
Can anyone tell me how to reinstall Superuser and get full SuperUser access?
Also, I am thinking of going back to Android 4.4 to get mirroring. Can someone point me to the gapp file for that. Additionally, when I possibly would be installing 4.4, would I first install 4.4 and then reboot and install gapps. Or should 4.4 and gapps be installed at the same time?
Thanks for everyone's help. Sorry to ask so many questions. However, have gone to youtube and web many times and still am confused about what is going on.

If you installed CM13, is actually pre rooted. Just enable it from the developer settings

Finally figured out that I could transfer SuperSu zip file to my Tab and then install it from TWRP. Did so and also wiped clean the cache and now SuperSu is functional and I can get rid of the bloatware and speed up the Tab. Thanks for everyone's help.

After ROOT, brush back to the stock ROM and use the S health method.
1-Delete S-Health App
2-Install the old version 4 of the S-Health application
com.sec.android.app.shealth_4.8.1.0025-4810025.apk
3-Open the application and complete the setup
4-to the store to update the S-Health app
my english is bad ,i use google translation
Your knox has been tripped you may never use those function in normal circumstances, only thing you can do is s-health the person above me explains which version but secure folder is gone. Only solution is solder the e-fuse there where somewhere diagrams or change motherboard. There was an application or a method that claims to reset the knox to 0x0 even if the e-fuse is blown but i didn't see any real confirmation that it's real.
SOLUTION
the issue was, the firmware was not properly installed, i downloaded the official roms from sammobile then install it using odin, after that it's perfectly working even now it is automatically updated to android pie and everything is working fine, the bit is not trip
it happens when you don't add up all the required files in odin at the time of installation, so some official apps like secure folder and samsung health does not work.
thanks everyone for the help.
