I bought a samsung gt-i9500 yesterday with the original software on it and decided to to upgrade with kies to the latest version 4.4.2. I then proceeded to try and obtain root via kingo which takes and keeps failing after a while. Tried towel root -device not supported possibly because of a updated kernel release with the latest upgrade. Anyway i thought after playing around go see if i tripped the knox flag.....indeed i did. Status also changed to custom. Tried downloading super su chainfire for the time that the root actually works before failing......made kingo user crash. Restarted my device and my statust changed back to OFFICIAL and knox flag 0x0........thought i share this with you guys.

So I rooted my device with Towelroot. I checked that it was rooted and I used my device for sometime and then I thought I really didnt need root so I unrooted my device through superuser. I used an app called root checker and it said that my device didnt have root permissions. So now I need OTA updates and it says that my device had been modified in an authorized way? Did I unroot it properly or is there another way to fix this or unroot my device. I am looking forward to your replies.
Thanks!
So I have a galaxy s4 active and I rooted a while back with kingroot I know it isn't good but I did it anyway... and unistalled king root completely and supposedly should have removed my root. So I was trying to play Pokemon Go after recently purchasing a pokemon go plus and I can't play and it is because of safetynet even though I have no root. I realized that when I boot up my s4 a screen with a padlock icon and text that says custom appears. I thought this may mean my bootloader is unlocked and that this could trigger me failing safety net. I have been looking every where on how to relock my bootloader. I just want to pass that safety net baloney.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Try installing latest stock firmware for your device with odin or kies/smartswitch
Regards
Sawdoctor
I used smartswitch and I have the latest firmware
So I used smartswitch and it said I had the latest firmware what now?
I tried everything
So smartswitch said my device isn't compatible to initialize (sgh-i537) so I tried using Odin to return to stock but the only firmware avaliable for my device is kitkat and I have lollipop so I cant downgrade can I? Even then I get and error in download mode saying fail secure download: boot or something like that. If I hard reset through the stock recovery will I be able to pass safetynet I even tried triangle away because I thought maybe it had something to do with my system being custom and it needed to be official and triangle away didn't even work I tried rooting again just so I could rename the su files to su1 which people said would let you play that didn't work either I looking how get magisk I couldn't do it. Is there anyway I can fully go back to stock that will work and will allow me to pass safetynet I am not concerned about root currently I don't need it.
I have given up on customizing Android and flashed stock firmware from sammobile, now I can't open the S health app. A pop up shows "Your device has been compromised. Because of a new security policy introduced in version 5.0, Knox is not available on compromised devices. (0x110020521) I downloaded and ran root checker and it shows the phone is not rooted. Is there any way I can get rid of this without rooting again?

You need to edit the build.prop
Look for ro.config.tima and change the "1" to a "0".
You can either use a app like root explorer or BuildProp Editor.
You will have to root to fix this as it is using Knox to detect the past root/recovery flash.
Once you trip knox with twrp / root you can undo that.
Rooting alone shouldnt be giving you any trouble?
What problems were you having that made you want to go stock with no root?

just downgrade to 6.0.1 with odin, start s health and let the phone upgrade it`s self to 7. Worked for me
It seems there really is no update for Verizon S6's root status, as of April 2018?
You can root certain version of Android 5 (Lollipop) but it's old and laggy, and it appears you have to create a shell command so you reroot upon every reboot. Right?
You can try Odin a rooted version of Nougat, but it seems KNOX will unroot, so even though it says rooted, all the root apps crash.
So "effectively" there really is no root. Right?
I've been running 5.0.2 rooted for a couple of years now, but sadly nothing newer.
Hello everybody!
I'm new on this stuff of rooting my s8+ Phone (SM-G955FD-Exinos), actually i can get the root, installin magisk and that sfuff, everything is ok, but when i restar my Phone, got a bootloop, the phone says "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed ", well after that and 2 days with my phone dead, i finally can install the Official rom from Samsung and bring my phone alive, obiously without Root
I was searching about, and that happen because my Firmware is the latest update from samsung, the G955FXXU4CRK1, so its the 4 Binary, i found that i just can get root in the Binary 1 but when i try to flash that binary, Odin Says i have the binary 4 and cant instal the 1 Binary.
So, i just want to know, if i can get root for my firmware and after root the phone i can restart it witouth get a bootloop, of maybe i can Downgrade my Firmware to 7.0 and get fully root there?
Thanks in advance for your time and help.,
