[Q] T-Mobile Note 2 Rooting Failure

So I rooted my T-Mobile Note 2, The SuperSu was installed but every Time I try to run it it says "SuperSu has stopped wroking" then I get a pop up from my phone saying that it blocked an app trying to reach something on the phone. So my question is, Is my phone rooted or not?

Have you installed a working custom recovery? E.g. CWM (clockworkmod) ?
Flash CF-AUTO-ROOT via ODIN to gain full root access

Download ODIN , uninstall Samsung KIES, boot your phone into "download" mode, connect it to your computer, run ODIN as admin and select the CF-AUTO-ROOT as AP, then press start to flash the CF-AUTO-ROOT.

want i want to acomplish is having a backup of a normal non rooted phone with all my contacts and messages and call logs, then rooting from the beginning so i can understand the process right. but in order to do that i have to save my contacts and stuff and unroot it right. or just do a factory reset.

IDK what you did or not! Safe your contacts and so on. NO MATTER what you do, you can always set the phone back to stock by flashing a firmware package via ODIN. If you have already modified the system, a factory reset can brick it.

how to unroot and go back to stock w/o loosing data?

How do I unroot and go back to stock firmware without loosing data?
Thanks,

you don't. All you can do is use Helium https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup&hl=en . That is one way of moving data back from unrooting the phone.

You answered your own question . Flash with Odin, got CSC make sure use regular CSC not CSC home which will erase user data.

This where I got it from. The user muniz_ri posted it maybe 2 or 3 posts down

Isnt there a feature within SuperUser that allows to unroot and return to normal status? I used this feature after rooting and uninstalling several programs / apps and then selecting this option, restarting with no root.

It would unroot but I think you would still have the engineering boot and would give the lag issues. The phone would be difficult to use.
By flashing back to stock it would be not rooted and smooth
I been rooted and running this phone a couple week with no problems.

So I flashed without using either CSC file. Just left it blank and it running great just FYI

Running great meaning you didn't lose any data?
Also would Knox trip if we were to unroot with deleted stock apps? Or would the ODIN just put them back?

I restored without flashing any of the csc files and can confirm no data was loss. However I don't have the LTE icon anymore but 4G+...there's a few subtle differences I've noticed as well too that wasn't like that before so I'm not sure what happened. But it's working lag free and cool again.
Checking for software updates results in a cannot process error as well

Actually I just realized that samsung pay is still not on my phone after ODIN. and instead of calender it's now called S planner. All the ODIN did was remove root and put the tmobile bloat back
Interesting.

Sad news. Kinda had my hopes up as this would delete all root files. Guess not. All i want is to have a bloat free phone without any traces of root.

which ROM for as close to stock android as possible for SM-G930F

I see a lot of custom ROMs on https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development but I am not sure which to use. My main goal is to remove all the builtin Samsung apps that I cannot disable/uninstall like Calendar and Internet. I started looking at SuperMan but then saw it has a lot of other enhancements too. I also want to avoid my device being rooted because I have to install apps that won't install if my phone is rooted (GFE/BlackBerry Work).

LineageOS or Resurrection Remix.

Just disable the Samsung apps you don't want. That's the only remedy for you.

SuperMan is probably the closest you'll get to stock. If that's too far off, I'm not really sure of any other options. You could temporarily root and try removing the offending apps, I'm not sure how much the system depends on them.
There's also the option of Magisk (Systemless) root, which shouldn't effect root-adverse apps.

I have rooted stock G930F rom with Magisk and removed close to a 100 system apps. No bugs, no crashes, and it is the best rom there is, if you tweak it right. Btw, you can hide root with Magisk and install your apps.

This is awesome. Any details/links/help on how to install remove those 100 system apps? I I see lots of articles on how to install Magisk so I can probably figure that out but not sure about how to install the system apps.

Please take my advice:
Do NOT root your device.
Cause that has some side effects and nearly no benefits:
You won't be able to encrypt your phone again.
You'll have to install magisk to get some things to work
Do NOT install an AOKP based ROM cause there are severe bluetooth bugs.
Just install "BK Package Disabler (Samsung)" on stockrom and get rid of Samsungs bloatware.
PS:
I'm back to stockrom after installing LOS and I regret that step, cause it tripped the knox-bit.
Perhaps the BT bugs will be fixed in future; then I'll give LOS another shot.

Lol @ this lad above, get your facts straight.
On-topic: I followed root instructions from galaxys7root. For the debloating part, there is a topic called "Debloat your S7" or something like that, which helped me uninstall most of the apps, and the other ones I just uninstalled cause I didn't need them.

Laughing isn't very polite.
On-topic:
How did you get your phone encrypted again?
What are the benefits of being rooted nowadays?
OK, TB would be one thing for me.
And... tinkering.

Do some Google-ing, should get the answers.

Rooting went flawlessly.
I took the TWRP / Magisk way.
OK, loosing all the data is quite normal, when formating data, to get rid of the encryption.
But it trips your knox-fuse with the following consequences:
S-Health does not work anymore. OK, there is a build.prop hack to get it working.
OTA updates will not work anymore.
S-Pay (and others) is said to not work anymore.
Encryption does not work or is risky (look at Chainfires post):
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72204306&postcount=978
No one knows, how long safetynet will be covered by Magisk. Btw.: Magisk is great!
If I am wrong at any point, pls correct me.
I only rooted to use LOS. But there are too many errors atm.
So I returned to stock and have to live with these issues.
So it depends on your usecase.
If you just want to debloat your stockrom, use BK- disabler.
If you want more, root it.

Can BK disabler disable or uninstall some of the built-in apps like Calendar and Contacts?

Yes. That is the purpose of the app.
And, in my opinion, it works reliable and comfortable.

Yes, that's good, so Samsung won't remove my root or any system apps I am using or adding system apps I removed.

Hi, I'm currently facing the same issue. Have you found any solution yet? What root are you using? Thanks.
Edit:
I have downloaded zANTI version 2.0 from here. It loads the app however it crashes after submitting the email. It seems that it starts to crash from version 2.4.2

Yes. The solution was easy af. Go toSuperSu and force user of the crashing apps to SYSTEM. That should do it.
I dont think it has something to do with my root but rather with the new OS Android 7.x

Note:
