how can i see if my phone is fully Unrooted - General Questions and Answers

Hi all . I have rooted my phone (LG G3) and because of a problem i was forced to go to my service provider (LG) since its still under warranty . So knowing that rooting voids warranty i unrooted using superSU and then i verified with root checker getting back the message "sorry root access is not properly installed on this device" . So i thought that its all done and proceeded to use my warranty . couple of days pass and they called me and said that root was found on my phone and cant take it under warranty and i have to pay if i want it fixed which i am not gonna do cause its 200 euro to fix the motherboard. I asked them if i can do anything and they said that if i remove completely the root i can go to them again and they manage to fix it for free. So i flashed a new stock ROM to be sure this time is fine. Now what i am asking is can i somehow check in depth if its rooted or ever been rooted like traces and stuff . is there any program that lets me do so? i tried to find the program the technicians used but couldn't find anything.
Thanks in advance for all the answers and for your time .

[Q] Can service check if the phone was rooted?

Hi, i want to send my phone in service for ghost call issue and I wonder if they can check if the phone was ever rooted, or flash back to froyo.
i intend to make a clean install of official GB from my country on it before sending to them. Thank You.
Don't you have the right to hack your own mobile in Romaina? I am in Turkey and I don't give a **** if it was rooted before sending to service. It is just a damn software...
Update: There are unroot tools...

Remove su from /system/bin and /system/xbin, and superuser.apk from /system/apps. Alternatively, clean flash any rom and no one will ever know that your phone was rooted
lg tollerate root, they said more than one time, rooting a lg device will not void your warranty..
In Poland rooting voids warranty, so be carefull

[Q] Back says H-L02, software and PC says H-L01 - Help to root!

I wish to root my phone, the software says its L-01 and when i plug into PC it also says L01, but after following the root process i have no SuperSu access etc, despite it all saying it was successful during process.
The back of the phone actually says its L-02, and this is a refurbished phone so i suspect someone has fiddled with it before me.
Can anyone give advice how i can continue to root the phone, do i have to flash L02 back onto it? is that safe or is there a risk i may now brick the phone?
Many thanks
Nobody have any advice whether it should be flashed back to L02 , or just trying to flash with L01 as it appears to be on now?
I dont want to brick the phone, but do wish to root as need to clear a lot of bloatware and also have issues with Google Play store i think may be solved with root access.

Help with un-rooting LG optimus f6 d505

[edit]Solved[edit]Hello i seem to have a more or less unique problem, or possibly one that has allready been answered so many times i can not seem to find it on google?
so the problem.
I have a optimus f6 (the d505 version) wich i have sort of succesfully rooted about 3 years ago, problem is i seem to remember soft bricking it and then reflashing it with something called lg flash tool? and needing to unlock the bootloader in order to un-brick it. After wich i used Kingo for rooting and everything worked like a charm ever since.
here is where the problem starts, right now i want to sell it, and i have a client to sell it to, problem is the guy needs his banking app to work. And after un-rooting it with the same app, and then doing a factory reset, the banking app still recognises the phone as rooted, and to make matters worse even the OTA update fails because of the same reason. Now i think the problem is with the bootloader being unlocked, i can think of no other reason why the apps think it is still rooted, i can re-root and re-unroot with kingo at any time and every function of the phone and the root acces seems to work. When un-rooted every root detection app i have tried from google play tells me the phone is not rooted, exept the fore-mentioned OTA and banking app.
My plan is to re-flash the allready updated basic rom, wich i got as a kdz file from a site called lg-roms.com( it does appear to have the correct phone version and carrier, i did a imei verification) and then use fastboot to re-lock the bootloader.
My question is since I am sort of a noob with theese sorts of things, will this solve my problem, aka will it remove all traces of root, i would like to know since i risk bricking it anyway i want to know if i can get any sort of results
[edit] So ya i really doubt anyone will have this specific problem, however if you do, i managed to solve it by flashing stock and locking the bootloader with fastboot, problem seems to have been originating from there

Question Return to Stock?

Good Morning Everyone
As the title suggests, i am looking to return my S22 Ultra back to stock.
i was on beyond rom for a bit, but too many apps complaining that my device was rooted has forced my hand to return my device back to stock once again.
I flashed the stock rom via odin, then locked my bootloader and wiped all data.
However i am still getting messages that my device is modifed.
Anyone got any ideas how to can truely return to full stock?
Thanks in advanced.
And yes i did do a search on the internet before asking, but i have been unable to find any advice outside of what i have already done.
happend to me, too. But only on the latest firmware. When I flash an older firmware, it won't appear. But after updating again to the latest ROM the message appears
Cheers mate. I'll give that a go.
Also note that if the device was rooted then you triggered the Knox flag and that one CANNOT BE RESET, it's an "efuse" (a hardware component that once changed it's state can only be reset by replacing it, i believe you need to replace the entire motherboard for that).
So, if the application checks the Knox status it will fail.
Here are a few apps that i know that will not work anymore :
- Knox itself (and any app that uses the Knox library/API )
- Samsung Pay
- Samsung Health
- Secure Folder
A few years ago I also had a banking app that failed to worked with a Knox flag triggered (on a Note 8), but after an update it allowed me to use the phone as long as i didn't have it rooted.
