I know it was removed from the market.. I have the latest adway from F-droid but it doesn't work.. And yes I am rooted.
Is there any Adblockers that are working? Or ways to fix Adaway?

AdAway works fine. You need to either reboot before installing the APK, or clear out all recent apps before hand.
Yup, works fine for me also
Check your Superuser/SuperSU app to make sure you gave it permission, or;
Uninstall the app, reboot and reinstall, or;
Run fix permissions in CWM/TWRP.
Just to chime in here:
I have noticed that Adaway does fail to apply updated Hosts files. If you just keep telling it to update, it will usually work the second or third time. But it does fail for me the first time almost every time. I'm not sure if it's a r/w issue with Kitkat or just some kind of general compatibility issue.
If by "not working" you mean it fails to apply the host file, just keep trying. It should work eventually.
Update 2014-04-25: I know that I have not released an update in a while. I have been very busy outside of Android development. In order to open up the possibility of others contributing, I have open sourced RootCloak Plus: https://github.com/devadvance/rootcloakplus
Many apps detect rooted phones (banking, enterprise, streaming), and upon detection, do not run. RootCloak Plus hides all indications of root, thereby enabling those apps to run, without disabling root. See http://devadvance.com/rootcloakplus/ for the list of apps that work with RootCloak Plus.
There is no 100% way to hide root. Any feedback you may have will be helpful, not only for fixing your particular issue, but also for hiding root from future apps!
Requirements:
• Rooted Device
• Android v4.0.3+
• Cydia Substrate (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saurik.substrate)
• If you are on Android 4.4+ (Kitkat), you need to install SELinux Mode Changer and set it to PERMISSIVE: (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux)
• Single user on the device (does NOT currently support devices with more than one user account!)
Does NOT Support:
• x86 (Intel) devices
• Devices with multiple user accounts
See the 2nd post for a list of apps that have been tested.
How is this different from RootCloak for Xposed?
• RootCloak Plus works with Cydia Substrate instead of Xposed
• RootCloak Plus hides everything that the original does, plus a lot more
• Works with native calls
• Example for in the future: Can hide "test-keys" in the actual build.prop file
How is this different than disabling root with temp unroot/SuperSu unroot/etc?
Disabling root, or temporarily unrooting, prevents ALL applications from using root. This includes the applications that require root to function. In addition, SuperSu (and others) cannot hide themselves, and are still detected by many apps. RootCloak does not disable root; it completely hides all traces of being rooting, including the su binary, some of busybox, superuser.apk/most common superuser control apps, and more.
Does RootCloak hide custom ROMs (CM, AOKP, etc)?
Not directly. Some apps that check for root only check for things like release-keys vs test-keys, and therefore RootCloak will work. However, if you are running CM, AOKP, or any other custom ROM, there are simply too many ways to detect a custom for RootCloak to effectively hide all of them. For example, addition settings activities may be added/removed depending on the AOKP version; RootCloak would have to hide every single one to be 100% effective.
Instructions:
1) If you are on Android 4.4+ (KitKat), you need to install SELinux Mode Changer and set it to PERMISSIVE: ( http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux )
2) Install Cydia Substrate. You must install it, then open the app and Link Substrate Files, then reboot!
3) Install RootCloak Plus.
4) Reboot your device to enable RootCloak Plus. Substrate will probably tell you to do so.
5) Open RootClock Plus settings (just open the app from the launcher), and then go to Add/Remove. This is where you will change which apps RootCloak hides root from.
6) If the app you want is not among the default apps, press the + button to add it. Find the app in the list, and press it to add it to the list.
7) To apply changes, you MUST reboot your device!
8) Run the app to see if root was successfully hidden.

Thank you for this app. I am yet to give it a go. I will and let you know the results for Barclays
Some Barclays info for you
I unrooted my phone a while ago during the upgrade it to 4.4 (i prefer to use the official means to upgrade the OS then root it again)
I tried the barclays app after on a stock, unrooted phone and it still failed! I called Barclays and they said they have a flag/marker at their end that they need to reset before it will work again. They reset it for me(i explained i was rooted and now i'm not) and then it worked.
I am now rooted and i haven't tried the barclays app since, so in theory i shouldn't have the marker at the moment. I will hopefully try it in the next couple of hours and let you know.

Apps not currently working:
Sky GO - aware and working on it
Puzzles and Dragons - Does not use any of the normal methods to check for root. There is a good chance that it uses assembly to check for root, but I'm not 100% sure about that yet.
2 fingers up to Barclays!!! Nicely done, works a treat!
Anyone able to test if this works with skygo?

I hope I didn't do anything wrong, but the app I wanted to test (Telenet Yelo TV) FC's every time I try to stream TV (so when it checks for root).
Is that common behaviour?

Not what is supposed to happen. However, that does mean that the method Yelo is using us covered by RootCloak Plus, I just have to figure out what the expected behavior is that I'm currently changing too much.

Odd. Well, if its not installed....there's no need to change it I suppose. Not sure how that's the case though, since 4.3+ should at least have it on there.

Not sure if anyone has tried it yet. The original RootCloak was working for some people, and and since this hides all of the same stuff and more, it should theoretically work.

I'll have to look into this. I've been running Xposed and Cydia Substrate at the same time during most of my testing, so I'm not sure why that's happening. May be an issue with Cydia Substrate.

I can try to put together a version that logs pretty much everything. The easiest way would be if I had my own sky account, though.
Followed instructions. Sky go still finds root on android 4.4.2 on the nexus 5 thus doesn't work for that app.
Thanks for the new app. Unfortunately, not working on Amis MobiaTV app. It keeps crashing..but nice work, cheers!

I cant seem to get Barclays working. I have followed all the instructions and even removed barclays and re-added it to Rootcloak plus. What is strange though is that whenever i click on Barclays, it always asks for SU access. Is that right?
Thanks
The one unfortunate thing of this awesome app is Substrate doesn't compatible for so many phones
All of my phones (SGS2, SGS4, SGN3) can't boot after installed Substrate...
I gave up. Whoo.

Towel Pie Root is a one click untethered app to root the Moto X, Moto G and the Droid Series(maybe others but these for sure) running 4.4.3 and below. It does NOT and WILL NOT root 4.4.4 so stop asking about it!
I want to started off by Thanking Geohot for Towelroot and JCase for Pie root, without them this wouldn't have been possible and I take NO credit for their exploits. If either of them doesn't want this posted they may contact me and I will gladly remove it.
Towel Pie Root combines Towelroot's futex exploit with a modified version of Pie root's xbin.img mount into one app. To achieve a one click untethered root for write protected devices! This DOES NOT remove write protection, and is still technically a temp root, I did include the option to enable root on boot. Which will re-root your device every time you reboot your phone, it also includes the option to perform a full reboot, or a soft reboot from within the app.
Here is a more technical description of what my app does. It includes TR's libexploit.so(aka the native exploit by Geohot) which I use to gain root privileges. Once it has root privileges it then echo's the file path to my modified Pie root file to uevent_helper. It then causes a hotplug event to trigger the kernel to execute the file path just echoed to uevent_helper. My modified Pie root files, kill TR's daemonsu and mounts Pie root's xbin.img over /system/xbin. Then it copies the newer version of SuperSU's su binary and executes the new daemonsu daemon and viola root
If you enjoyed my app, please donate to Geohot at https://towelroot.com/, and JCase at [email protected]ninglogic.com! I do not want any donations, I set out to develop this app purely as a challenge to broaden my development skills not to get a donation.
Installation Instructions: You need to have unknown sources checked in Settings>>Security, and if you have Towelroot installed uninstall it. In order to use TR's exploit I had to name the app's package name to the same name as TR's package name, so you will have to uninstall TR to install my app. Also if you are currently rooted with Pie root please reboot before running my app, to clear Pie's su daemon, and to unmount Pie's xbin.img. Then just click Make it ra1n on Moto, and wait for it to say Root Acheived Enjoy! If you encounter any issues please uninstall v1.0 then re-install v1.1.

Thank you Sir, and Jcase and geohot... now the big question... I just factory reset 4.4.2 and rooted Pie.. installed your entitlement hack.. worked dandy... than I tried the tr... and guess what..... your app no longer works.. so, do I need to do another factory reset and install this new towelpie app or will your entitlement hack not work with this either? Or should I be the test pilot and find out myself...

According to the message the OP sent me, PIE is no longer necessary - at all. He advised me that you can run this app on a bone-stock Moto X that has never had PIE used on it.

EXCELLENT Job, Sir.
I have been having issues using this method. I was already using Pie for several weeks and wanted to try this to survive reboots. As soon as I installed and ran it I actually lost the root that I already had. The Towel Pie Root app would say that I had root access but none of my other apps would agree. I would get the message at the bottom of the screen stating the app was granted super user permissions but then the app would tell me that i don't have root, I tried adaway, xposed, and root checker. I uninstalled SuperSU and switched over to the ClockworkMod SuperUser and that worked for root. The problem that I had after that is that the root apps that I was using no longer work. Adaway shows as disabled and when I try to enable it it fails. The same whit xposed, every time I try to update/install it fails. I removed Towel Pie Root and went back to rooting with Pie and I am getting the same results. Has the Towel Root portion of this changed something that I am now going to have to factory reset?
Edit:
After a few more reboots once TowelPieRoot was removed and starting Pie again from the beginning I now have root as it was with everything working. For now I am just going to keep things the way they were. I have my terminal emulator setup to run the last Pie command on every start so it always attempts to root first. This makes it really easy regain root even if my device does get restarted and I lose root..
wow thanks, will this work with Xposed framework? I was looking for a simple root method without voiding my warranty, this seems nice, I'm gonna try it, thank yoU!
I like the app.. seems to work great.. but the only issue I have is is the OTA going to be stopped from downloading? I have two moto x, one still on 4.4 and rooted with slap, and a new one on 4.4.2 rooted with this app. below is a shot of what I get when i force check an update with the slapped moto, this is with the 3c_OTA files renamed to .bak
I dont get the same message with the new moto on 4.4.2, what I get is "your moto is up to date" and the same two 3c_OTA files are also renamed to .bak files.

Help! :crying:
Me too
I'm trying to do this too, but I aint sure how to do it. I mean I guess if its not super necessary I can leave it the way it is. Tried this method and its a no go. I don't think the KingUser SU is letting superSU update its binaries. I already have twrp, but not sure what next. If its not necessary I'll leave it alone, but I was just wondering if theres any reason to change over or if it could even be done.
P.S This way never worked for me as superSU can't get past trying to install the binaries. I got twrp so I'm wondering if I'd have to flash it. Nothings wrong on my end are anything, but I just assumed having superSU would be better then kinguser but not really sure.
many people have this problem.
first of all, kinguser is great to root the G6, and in most cases the only working method without custom recovery,
but because it flashes kinguser.apk as system app you can't uninstall it the normal way.
the solution is to flash supersu.zip and then uninstall kinguser. this way supersu will be your systemapp.
find the files and tutorials you need on our facebook group,
we have 1500+ members, CWM + TWRP, android 4.3 + 4.4, we can root your g6 and unlock your bootloader.
but we still don't have a subforum on XDA....

Must vary from device to device cause I've did all that, and it gives the message "Installing Please wait..." and then after it fails it says " Installation Failed! Please reboot and try again" and if kinguser is removed in superSU when trying to update/install the binaries it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If just upgraded to Android 4.3 you need to manually re-root- consult the relevant forums for your device."
This aint the g6 though but this thread is the kinguser replace with superSU thread. So I thought I'd post in it.

Install SuperSu rom magazin play.
Then instal rom lite box.
Open the app, and uninstall kinguser
easy, and it`s working.I just deleted kinguser 2 mins ago
Hum
@andruala Never worked for me that way, anytime I remove king user root gets removed. Never was able to flash superSU rom correctly because binaries couldn't get updated from superSU because root was removed once king user was uninstalled. I've heard people mention it working the way you suggested, but I've also read posts where people have a hard time getting it replaced with superSU because root gets removed when king user is replaced, which doesn't allow superSU to install the binaries correctly. Most people probably can't get the binaries installed correctly from superSU which is the same problem I had so they end up just leaving it king user. I could try whats suggested here but I very much doubt its going to work as explained from my conflict that when king user is removed, root is removed and whether you flash a SU zip or not root still aint enabled because SU binaries are nt installed correctly. So until I actually can confirm this works myself I'm gonna prob say its a no-go for me. Could be device specific but I did all this to a tee and still had problems. There was a post on freak tab where someone had the same problem. I might still try this, I just dont see it working like as said.

Yes...i`m really sorry.For me wit worked before i restarted the phone...
After de restart i`ve seen that the root is not working anymore...
Sorry for my bad.
No worries bro. Probably varies depending on how you root from device to device.
Its not your fault. No worries. I'm just thinking it varies from device to device and how you actually go about rooting . I'm also thinking that maybe if I rooted with another app/prog that it would have been easier to switch from king user to superSU. I use lookout premium security on my phone and kingroot and king user have never been flagged with any viruses so I've just left it on and running the way it is and so far so good. Other then the two errors I mentioned in the previous post king user/kingroot has been working good. I'm sure if I did a whole restore/wipe/clean and root with another program there might be a possibility to remove king user and replace with superSU but in the end I just decided to roll with king user/kingroot as I didn't feel like doing al that and its been doing its job fine.

Well I thought about leaving kinguser sitting there on my system too until one day I installed network monitor stuff and noticed kinguser sure likes to make HTTP connections every time the Internet is available. Imagine that. Also have a look, there are /system/bin/.usr/.ku etc. hiding all over your system.
The earlier versions of Kingo Root were much better

Those earlier versions were putting SuperSU binaries into the root. But now they are putting on this King User crap. Reason I say it's crap is exactly what you mentioned. As soon as I root a phone with Kingo Root, Google Search immediately tells me that it will not allow me to search for anything because "your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now"
Good God! What the heck is Kingo Root putting onto these phones now? It sure isn't putting just su binaries in there.
Indeed. What is needed is for someone to take a vanilla phone into a cleanroom, install the mess, and report back on exactly what ended up getting put where, in order for somebody to make a "kinguser detox/.antidote" APP and/or shell scripts that would clean the mess totally back off.
don't know if it's gonna help you ( have alcatel onetouch idol 2 mini s):
i also couldn't update binaries su and had kinguser.
then i downloaded the beta version of supersu (on xda) and flashed it with my cwm. after that when supersu asked if i wanted to update, i said yes and choose normal update (not the cwm/t... one) it than updates and asked if i wanted to remove the external root apps (ie: kinguser) and voila!
(sorry English isn't my language, so don't know if i explained myself well^^)

Why did you need to root with kingo if you have custom recovery?!
I rooted first then found the cwm for my phone?

Oh. I wasn't angry at you Was just asking.
it took me like a year to root my phone then i couldn't make it work well with kinguser, and i wanted supersu anyway, so i found that i could install manually the app with cwm .
anyway, i don't now if you can use cwm without a root?

You can, but it doesn't really make much sense to.
Use Eroot, then try superSU installation

I had the same issue with my mobile, (Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray (ST18i)), I then rooted my phone with EROOT Software which installed a superuser app, then i got the .apk file of SuperSU via Bluetooth from a friend and installed it. one has to grant permission when it asks for superuser rights, then updating binary files is no longer a problem. It also asks for removal of the Superuser-app that was pushed through the EROOT software, you do that. Then I installed link2SD and link2sd pro key from google play store and converted the SuperSU app into a system-app. Now SuperSU is working perfectly again.
You both should try it!!

Hi all ,
I'm wanting to use NowTV (like SkyGo) on my OnePlus , however they are using a type of Root check that most root hiders cannot bypass.
Therefore I'm looking for a way to temp unroot and then root back again with ease.
just wondering if there are any tools or easy to follow guides?
thanks
Disable Superuser in SuperSU settings.

Or if you are on a Cm nightly you can turn them off in the developer option
Disabling super user doesn't work, their detection method is unknown and they check more than the su binary.
I might try the nightlies, however I need stability.
Thanks for the responses so far
Outside of the nightly wing if you want stability use the M releases, they are designed to be more stable than the nightly branch

The problem isn't really the SuperSU as such, it's CM. They flag CM as a rooted ROM, it'll even happen if you're on stock un-rooted CM11S.

I'm pretty sure that I saw an xposed module that could hide superuser completely. Might want to give that a try

As per my post right above yours, it isn't SU that's the problem, it's that the ROM is CM.

Timmaaa is correct and that's the info I wanted, I had tried the xposed modules but none worked and now I know why.
I'll contact sky and see if I get anywhere
****EDIT****
So it seems that Timmaaa is NOT correct as there is NO CyanogenMod or any ROM check, it's all to do with the the name of your Root App
Short Version is unroot and uninstall SU app for this to work (removing SU Binary or removing Root alone is not enough)
So we need to have a new Root app with a new AppID and name , and also the SU binary to be identified as something else for this to possibly work.
I now have NOWTV working , and it's on an Unrooted One+One with no SU App installed after running full Unroot (however my SUPro app is still installed)
Note that SUPro does nothing really and just gives extra functionality when the main SU app is installed.
Thanks for everyone help and input on this.
So it seems that you would have to
1)Full UnRoot (Which also uninstalls the main SuperUser app)
2) Watch what ever you wanted to on NowTV or SkyGO
3)Go through the Rooting process again as if it were a new device. (which will again stop NOWTV/SkyGo) from working.
Do steps 1 and 2 again to watch.
This would have to be done everytime you want to watch NowTV

This is just a theory... may be wrong:
Can't you move the SuperSU app into /system/app instead of /data/app. Or does the NOWTV app have perms to check the integrity of /system also. Or can you change the app id of the SuperSU app with a simple decompile tool.
I did that while using cm11s. But still had problems trying to watch skygo. In the end I had alter my buildprop to a phone which supports skygo as at the time it didn't support oneplus one. Then full unroot etc to watch then root back to get root access again.
