[Q] Isis Wallet workaround for rooted G3

So I have my G3 rooted and when I open up Isis Wallet, it tells me that its not supported with rooted devices. So I did some searching around and found the app Root Cloak that will disable that notification. So installed the app and then opened up Isis and it worked perfectly. But its seems like the workaround only sticks for a couple of hours and then when you try to use it again it gives you the same error about not supported by a rooted device. Does anyone else have another solution or mod that they have done in order to get this to work permanently?

I'm doing the same thing and it hasn't failed yet. what root method did you use? I'm using towelroot

you just add isis to root cloak then force close isis/reboot, profit.
not sure why it's not working for you

Root Cloak ISIS
I'm using a LG G3 (ATT - LG-D850), and towel root. I can't get ISIS to ignore the root.
I've followed the instruction. repo xposed info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak, but to no avail.
Anyone have the similar problem?

I'm assuming you have xposed installed and working? installed rootcloak, enabled it in xposed and rebooted? then open rootcloak and add isis to the list, reboot once more and all should be good.
if not, try deleting the cache/user data for isis, perhaps it marked you as rooted and doesn't check again, this would fix that.

You could also try this. Both root cloak and this work.

[Completed] Can rooting can cause entering of malware?

Can rooting can cause entering of malware into your mobile (with root permission!!)? Are malwares are more powerful in a rooted mobile? Can it be avoided?
Refer the #45 point in the below link:
Ref: http://blogs.quickheal.com/wp/50-dos-and-donts-of-internet-security-for-the-year-2015/
What about the very popular chinese tool which roots your android device within minutes! The softwares installed by these chinese tool are found harmful by the quick heal antivirus.
Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware
Note: I am not blaming any dev. I just want correct information about the same.
Thanking you in anticipation

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Yes, rooting your device makes it less secure. It allows apps to access a lower level of your system than the manufacturer intended. But you usually have to allow root access to apps so if an app is requesting root and you don't know what it is, don't allow it.

You'll have to run it. It should update the supersu binary.

That thread has been closed because the software was injecting malware and connecting to remote server...
And also there is no solution to my problem of not getting updated.

All right, see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7-l9-ii. And Aguayo this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2429931. You might want to return your device to stock to get rid of all remnants of the root method you used and then start all over.

Thankyou that one is very useful thread.
I want one suggestion-
Should I first flash the slimsystem's rom and then root it again and unlock bootloader etc.
or in any another sequence?

iamrohanreddy said:
Thanks for using xda assist. I would say that I would actually prevent malware as whenever an app uses root it will prompt the user grant it root permission. And even if it takes the permission the superuser app will show a small toast on the screen. If u are still unsure I would recommend u to download cm security as an antivirus from Google play store. Hope it helps !!!.

Root ATT S4 On 5.0.1

Hey guys! im Cole. Im new around here .
Anyways I managed to fix my phone from a soft brick using the 5.0 OTA Update and decided to root the phone.
Also This Didn't trip Knox for me. Im on 5.0.1
NOTE: I am not responsible if you happen to brick/Break your ATT GALAXY S4 (I337)I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WORKS ON THE I337M
Anyways on with the rooting tutorial:
Ok, On your S4 I recommend that you have the OTA Package which you can get from Here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934552137
And You should have at least 50% battery life left.
Ok. Go and download Kingroot V4.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
Install it. It should say that root access is unavailable. Click on Try to root.
It takes around 3 to 5 minutes to get root access. once done you should see at the top Root Successful or something like that.
If it fails I suggest that you either try again or just give up on rooting your phone.
But since ATT Has a LOCKED Bootloader we cant install a recovery i think. Anyways I hope you guys found this tutorial working and have fun rooting.
Oh yeah I forgot: Thank You Kingxteam for providing us with kingroot

Can anyone confirm that this works? I remember someone posted a kingoroot here in the att s4 forums and it put a lot of junk on the phone

It works. I'm using it to edit my coc host file. I'll add some screen shots to this post to confirm that this works. Oh yeah. Kingroot just installs purify which I removed like any other app
I'm using my phone so I just looked up photo uploader.
I can't upload images yet since I'm new but this does work as long as it's the newer kingroot I had to reflash the 5.0update last night because I installed a recovery and as all ways it fails due the locked bootloader so I tried to root again and it works fine.

If you don't like the kingroot su binary, check out super sume in the play store. It replaces kinguser with supersu. Costs $1. Well worth it imo.

Cool story.
But, this is so simple. Instead of having to flash this and that with flashfire and safestrap, you can just go straight from lollipop, use a one click root tool, and then use another one click app to switch to SuperSU and remove the other. It's simplicity, compared to keep root method, is great. Now, if we could just get someone to figure out how to do it with one step, we'll be golden. Many are thinking there is still no way to root straight from lollipop. This works. So, if these cats can do it, then another dev can figure out how to get SuperSU injected instead of Kingroot. If that can happen, then safestrap can also be updated to work with lollipop instead of having to swap kk kernel. This is progress.
edit: When I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I tried several times to update to 0C4 after using this method. It failed every time. Then, I flashed the rooted 0C3 with flashfire and the update worked flawlessly. I wouldn't suggest this kingroot anymore to anyone. Cheers.

Just used KingRoot to root my I337 with OC4. Took a few minutes and then took off with a percentage rapidly climbing to 100%. Unfortunately for those of us who cannot read Chinese you have to feel your way through the user interface.
Here are some notes to help (I should have grabbed screen shots and will try to do so):
Make sure your PC has the I337 drivers and they work.
Enable developer mode on the I337.
Download and install the desktop version of KingRoot.
Connect the I337 to the PC with USB. Let Windows do its handshake stuff.
Launch KingRoot, it will find the phone and give you a screen (all in Chinese) showing how to turn on USB Debug mode. For English that is in Settings | More | Developer Options. Check the USB debugging box.
Phone will ask to verify the computer RSA key, accept it.
Phone also asked twice to allow Google to check for security threats. I declined both.
KingRoot will see that it can talk with the phone and do its thing.
A few minutes later I had KingRoot and root access on my 5.0.1 OC4 phone as verified with Root Checker Basic. It has survived a power cycle with battery removal.
Added screen shots from phone. Need to get some from KingRoot.
When KingRoot has everything ready you will see some Chinese text followed by Root on a blue (IIRC) button. Click that to launch the rooting.

Root D850 Marshmallow?

Hai I flashed Turbo ROM and for some reason I don't have root... I have SuperSU but it says there's no su binary installed... Also I can't get into TWRP, because it hangs on the TWRP logo screen and doesn't get passed that. How can I root my device so I can fix my recovery, or the other way around? Thanks

go to play store and download supersu app. restart the phone. this will get you root. then install twrp app from google and reinstall it through app. i think this will help you get into recoery.

KingRoot gives you temporary root on stock D850 Marshmallow.
When you reboot/restart, you lose root and it takes about 3 minutes or so, using the KingRoot android app, to regain root.
The apps requiring root that I've tried have all worked without issue.
Whether you want KingRoot installed on your phone is another issue.
I haven't come across a better solution for getting root on stock D850 Marshmallow yet.

If KingRoot does work you could look at this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=darkslide.com.supersumepro app to remove KingRoot and install SuperSU. I have not used the app I just saw someone on Reddit report that it worked for them.

This is correct. Be careful though. Many users want to uninstall Kingroot and switch out kingusr with superuser app. Doing this may result in soft brick.

Rooting OPO without Wiping Data

Hi
I want to root my OnePlus One solely for the purpose of being able to install an app which requires my phone to be rooted. I have seen some old threads (both here and on OnePlus.net) on how to do this, but I'm not sure if the procedures still work for a phone running Cyanogen 13.1.
Can anyone point me to some instructions that do work for OPOs running CM13.1 that will allow me to root my phone without wiping any data
Many Thanks!

Well you only want root right?
You can simply do it without unlocking boot loader.
Just search for kingoroot or kingroot apk on google and use it making sure you've a good internet connection.It may need a few tries before rooting. But it will 100% work.

Not the best choice...You should install the system less supersu imo.
