I am not responsible for you getting fired as a result of you making these modifications. You should always read and abide by company policies and any laws pertaining to such modifications. Use of this tutorial is at your own risk.
Preface: I have tested the new method on multiple devices and it has been flawless so far.
UPDATE: I have found a new method that so far has been flawless across multiple devices so far for me. With this new method you won't even have MobileIron installed when you're done! I have tested this on my Galaxy Nexus, My Nexus 7 and my Galaxy Note II and believe it should work regardless of device. Your company may have different security policies than mine so it's possible this may not work for you.
The easiest way to do this is with one of mskip's toolkits, but it can also be done manually with adb (must have the latest sdk).
Toolkit Method
0. Make sure you have MobileIron and Touchdown installed, configured and syncing. Your phone does NOT have to be rooted to do this.
1. Download mskip's Toolkit Here and install.
2. Make sure you have the adb drivers for your phone installed on your computer and android debugging is turned on in the developer settings on your phone.
3. Open the toolkit and connect your phone to your computer
4. It shouldn't matter what model phone you choose for the purpose of what we're doing, and the options may be slightly different based on which toolkit you download
5. Choose the option backup and restore your device
6. Choose backup all installed apps
7. Choose do NOT include system apps in the backup
8. Choose backup apk's AND respective app data
9. Choose do NOT back up internal storage data in backup
10. Wake your phone and it will ask you to start the backup, choose to do so
Once it is finished you will need to wipe your phone. It may work without wiping and just uninstalling touchdown and Mobileiron before proceeding to the next section, but I haven't tested this.
11. Connect your phone to your computer and enable android debugging
12. Browse to C:\Galaxy Nexus Toolkit (or whatever the name of your toolkit is under c:\)
13. Open the folder backups and rename the backup file to backup.bak. (if you don't see the file extension just name it backup)
14. Open the toolkit and choose a model
15. Choose Backup and Restore
16. Choose Restore apps from a backup file
17. type backup.bak and press enter
18. Wake your phone and choose to begin the restore
19. When it's finished, uninstall mobileiron, open touchdown and see if it's syncs!
ADB Method
adb backup -all -system -shared -apk
recovery> backup, wipe, flash rom, flash gapps, reboot
adb restore backup.ab
Requirements For ICS:
1. Rooted Android Phone running ICS based ROM
2. Titanium Backup (app installed)
3. Hide my Root (app installed)
4. Mobileiron (app installed but never run)
5. Touchdown (app installed but never run)
Instructions for ICS:
0. Make a Nandroid backup
1. Open Hide my Root
2. Choose hide SU binary
3. Press home
4. Menu, settings, apps, all apps
5. Choose Superuser.apk
6. Choose disable
7. Now open mobileiron and configure the settings per your company's instruction.
8. Set up your email in the Touchdown application and let it sync everything.
9. Open Hide my Root and choose restore SU Binary
10. Go back to menu, settings, apps, superser.apk and choose enable. (Its at the bottom when disabled)
11. Open Titanium Backup
12. Choose backup/restore from the top
13. Scroll to Mobileiron and tap it and choose freeze.
14. Profit
Now restore your nandroid backup before you get in trouble.
**Update** for Jelly Bean
It seems the builds out there for Jelly Bean use a new version of SuperUser that as of yet isn't compatible with Hide My Root. I wrote the developer of Hide My Root and he is looking into this but currently doesn't have a device running Jelly Bean to test on, so I took it upon myself to figure this out once again. I tested this and it does work. Again this was tested on a VZW Galaxy Nexus only.
Instructions for Jelly Bean:
0. Make a Nandroid backup!
1. Download MobileIron (App installed but never run)
2. Download Touchdown (or any apps that depend on MobileIron and do not launch them)
3. Download Titanium Backup (You may need the premium version to freeze apps)
4. Download SuperSU flashable zip from HERE and place on your SDcard.
5. From the app drawer launch SuperSU (that app already installed, not the zip you just downloaded)
7. Swipe 2 screens to the right to Settings
8. Choose Full unroot.
9. Install and configure MobileIron and dependent apps and let them fully sync.
10. Enable Airplane Mode
11. Reboot to recovery and flash the SuperSU zip you downloaded
12. Boot into Android, open Titanium Backup and freeze MobileIron
13. Turn off Airplane Mode
14. Profit
Now restore your nandroid backup before you get in trouble.
After a reboot all of the lockscreen options will reappear allowing you to have an insecure lockscreen.
This is great
You just saved me hours of frustration.
Thanks!
Thanks - this is a huge help!!
Question: does this work only with Touchdown, or any Android email client? (I prefer the app Enhanced Email).

How to re-enable superuser?
Made a nandroid backup. Followed instructions below. Works great, now I can synch email with MobileIron fortified corp server AND change the PIN lock requirement that MobileIron required! Thank you
Only one issue: I couldn't complete step 10 ("Go back to menu, settings, apps, superser.apk and choose enable"). Superuser was no longer in the "All" list under menu, settings, apps. As a result, I seem to have lost the ability to grant root access to new applications.
QUESTION: How do I re-enable superuser?
Notes:
- ADB: I can connect to device via ADB, but if I type "adb shell", and then type "su" at the "sh-3.2#" promot, no $ access is granted).
- Terminal Emulator: TE cannot get root (I type "su" at the "sh-3.2$" command, and TE says "Permission denied")
- Root Access - Old Apps: Any apps that previously had root privileges still do (Root Explorer can navigate to "/" and enable "Mount R/W", Wifi Tether still works, etc).
- Root Access - New Apps: New apps requiring root are not able to get root (no superuser prompt comes up)
- Re-Installing Superuser.apk: I tried using root installer to re-install superuser.apk (in the "/system/app" directory). It said it installed successfully, but still no superuser in the "All" list under menu, settings, apps.
- Re-Rooting: I tried re-rooting (using mskip's exceelend GNEX toolkit HERE), to no avail (process completes, but no superuser access).
If anyone can help me troubleshoot I would be extremely appreciative. I've tried to not be a helpless newb and to try a few fixes (above), but I would be ecstatic if one of XDA's Android ninjas could tell me how to re-enable superuser. Hoping to avoid comments of "restore nandroid backup and give up"

When you disable superuser.apk in the apps list it moves it from the alphabetical order to the bottom of the apps list. Look there and see if its at the bottom of your apps list.

YOU ARE THE MAN.
That was so simple, but I spent an hour trying stuff and still missed it
My Android experience is back to awesome despite Mobile Iron - THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks for that. Great idea.
I followed your instructions but I had to switch 9 and 10 because Hide my root cannot restore a deactivated app.
But my TouchDown says "Synchronization Error" --> access denied (update your password). Maybe too strong policies?
And by the way: you have to use tintanium backup PRO to enable or disable apps
---------------------
Edit: I made a system application of "Hide my root" with TI Backup - works. I had to uninstall TI Backup now - currently TouchDown is syncing again. We will see if it works, next: I try to use LBE Privacy Guard... will report. Disabling "MobileIron" seems not working for me...
Hey, is not possible solve it on 2.X version of Andriod? Thanks...
OP Updated to reflect Changes for those running JellyBean. Long live the Android experience!

The SU change needed for JellyBean makes this previous method unusable. I did however figure out how to still get to the same result if you're running JellyBean.

OP updated for JB instructions.
Sorry, I haven't tested this on a 2.x build so I'm not sure. If I get time I'll try to test this for you, I'm just super slammed with projects right now...
Will we appear "normal" on the Server that the app links us to our Corp acct??
Yes, you will appear as a non rooted phone. I just updated the JB instructions again. Realized I left out a step.
Anyone test this for Airwatch yet?
FWIW.....my experience has shown this to be merely a temporary solution, by itself. Yes...following the JB instructions will allow you to sync up just fine. But.....when mobileiron does not report back as device administrator, the red flags go up. My solution, thus far, has been to suspend root access on the phone, after reactivating mobileiron. In my case, after re-activating mobileiron, the app, itself, now FC's, which may be helping me out....not sure. At this point I seem to be able to continue remaining synced, without root access. As long as I use airplane mode before enabling root access to do root-type stuff, I seem to be fine. Word of caution, though....disabling root, seems screw up TB when I re-enable root. Specificaly...even though I have TB pro, it does not register after re-enabling root, so freezing and unfreezing mobileiron at will has not been possible. Could just be my system though.I recommend using airplane mode liberally if there is any doubt regarding your recognized root/non-root status. This definitely changes how I use the device, though, for sure.

I run your CM10 build on my nex7 and love it. Great to have navbar mods.
On my nex7 it took me a few tries to get it to stick but I finally got it. I hadn't updated a nightly for a couple weeks and when I did Mobileiron got me. I decided I don't care about getting work email on my tablet as much as I do my phone so no big deal. I freaking hate Mobileiron and touchdown nearly as bad.
On my galaxy nexus (running fitsnugly cm10) I don't have any issues. I flash the nightlies every day and I've gone a couple months without Mobileiron flagging me.

Skanklove!
I was completely under the radar, due to some corporate user configs, until I screwed up and raised the red flag. Then I had to encrypt, and install mobileiron. I was perfectly happy with touchdown until mobileiron got involved. I don't want work email on any device other than my work phone (toro). I can still run email without mobileiron, but no activesync and no email attachments......meh
Steps on ICS
Hello,
I am new to using mobileiron, as my corporation just started to use this program. Can I use your steps on ICS and keep my root undetected or will I eventually have issues. Last question, why is it necessary to restore your nandroid backup at the end?
As you may know, Google has remove App Ops on Android 4.4.2. This app helps you to bring it back
Root device only for now
What is App Ops
App Ops is an activity, within the Settings app, that allows users to enable or disable operations on a per-app basis. These operations cover many common scenarios identified by permissions (e.g., read contacts, write contacts, access location), though it is not a pure one-to-one mapping.
Operations blocked by App Ops are inaccessible by the affected app, though that may vary by device.
Toggle-able permissions
- Access notifications
- Alarm volume
- Audio focus
- Bluetooth volume
- Call phone
- Camera
- Draw on top
- Keep awake
- Location
- Master volume
- Media buttons
- Media volume
- Modify calendar
- Modify call log
- Modify clipboard
- Modify contacts
- Modify settings
- Notification volume
- Play audio
- Post notification
- Read calendar
- Read call log
- Read clipboard

- Read SMS/MMS
- Receive SMS/MMS
- Record audio
- Ring volume

It's weird that this thread has no activity.. it's a proper mod tbh.
After clicking to "Install AppOps Root", the device reboots, but nothing seems to change. Starting the Installer again still shows the same message: "Click to install AppOps Root..."
If I click "Launch Stock App Ops", I see Settings that promptly closes.
I am rooted and running a 4.4.2 ROM.
What am I missing?
App is working great. But can you please change the Icon in the drawer? It is really hard to see with this dark grey color

Not for me.
I have run through installation twice and didn't see any errors.
I just got prompted to d/l new firmware for my note 3 today. and after hearing they took this out. I declined it! keeping an eye on this, hopefully there will be a way to bring this back for non rooted devices. as my phone is only 2 months old. and I wana wait 4-6 months to make sure its not faulty B4 I go rooting it. plus there arent enough stable ROMS for note 3 anyway. I like Wanam as its stock ish without bloat. so waiting for wanam!
Reboot after install
Im using CM11.0 and the phone reboots after I click "Install AppOps Root" but seems to work fine with the "Lauch Stock AppOps" option.
Good job. Thank you.
Works great for me running Stock 4.4.2 on Nexus 5.

It only installs one apk in /system/priv-app/
If you are rooted and have titanium backup or other toolbox you can easily uninstall it (titanium can uninstall system apps); second easiest option is to use ES File Explorer or other root file manager; other ways include adb shell commands (mount / rm), and finally another method that actually doesn't require root is via custom recovery that has a builtin file manager like twrp does... you would mount /system and delete the apk from /system/priv-app

How does this compare to the likes of XPrivacy. It appears this completely denies the permission which would cause certain apps to crash vs providing random false data.

XPrivacy is way more powerful and allows you to revoke many more permissions, but App Ops although limited, works quite well. You cannot remove network access with it, but I removed location, contacts, vibrate, camera, from some apps, and none crashed so far. I've been using App Ops since it was introduced in Jelly Bean, and still do in KitKat.

If it works, you should see a new app named "App Ops [Root]" in your app drawer. Anyway, which is your ROM?
Tried and tested on march/may security update and works
PLEASE HIT THE LIKE BUTTONS IF IT WORKS (WHICH IT DOES).
1. This first step was originally found by @deathdefiler and thought it might help people so I've presented a neat manual to get started spoofing.
You need to root your phone
dont matter if you use a autoroot oneclickroot or what ever you prefer
Because we will be deleting (or NOT as mentioned in step 2) root later.
Just make sure SuperSu(optional for cm/lineage users) and busybox is installed
after your phone is rooted and
busybox: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
are installed
go to playstore and download this exactly
(GPS Joystick Fake GPS Location)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theappninjas.gpsjoystick
by dev. The app ninjas
as while youre in playstore also download (/system/app mover Root) by dev. j4velin
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.systemappmover
now openup /system/app mover and search for fake gps joystick
tap it and choose yes or ok to move it to /system/app
At this point you should reboot your phone( MUST DO )!
Once your phone is rebooted you can unroot your phone
Even if you unroot Gps joystick will remain in /system/app
Now go into your phone location settings
Set location modus to Device only
I also set google location service off otherwise it will go back to high accuracy mode.
Now we can open Fake gps joystick and go to settings from menu in the top left corner
Make sure that these following options are on
". Enable System Mode
Disable Location Service
Enable A-GPS reset. "
Now Restart your device for changes to take effect
thats it now we can start fake gps choose location of your liking
open pokenmon go and start playing (make sure loction is on device only mode)
If you want your location to work back normal
for example playing pokemon go normal or use googlemaps
then open fake gps settings and make sure Disable location service is set to off
Reboot your device and your good to go
Note by @reis1996 : In settings menu change "Background Handler" to another value from default to remove the time lag between spoofs. It varies for different devices
DONATE IF I WAS HELPFUL
HERE
Optional step for users who want to keep root/run custom ROMs
NOTE: YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CM/LINEAGE BASED ROM FOR THIS STEP TO WORK
NO MAGISK!!! OR SUPERSU!!!
2. The next step is to temporarily disabled root but still have root access
*****NOUGAT USERS DON'T FLASH ANYTHING*****
Pokemon checks for root status and SELinux status
iSU is an app made @bhb27
Head over to the iSU thread and flash (for 6.0.1 and below as nougat just needs the app installed)
a)iSU kernal file. permissive if your selinux is already permissive / enforcing if your selinux is enforcing
You can check your seLinux status of your phone in settings>about phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...le-app-to-deactivate-activate-t3478348/page56
b)use the iSU app
To change your build.prop file of your phone
This makes the phone think its not rooted
In the prop editor in the app, set all values to green/safe.
Next set root deactivated and seLinux to enforcing.
The app has an inbuilt safety net checker to see if you pass safety net.
Note that you should toggle root and selinux status to pass safety net via the iSU app only.
as soon as i move gps fake location app to system it disappears, and i have no means to open it up. i did cf autoroot.

Did you restart the phone after making the GPS a system app. RESTART IS A MUST AFTER MAKING ANY APP SYSTEM APP
OK a little more information would be nice. What ROM are you running? Android version? Stock?
My advice for now would be to use a system APP uninstaller and remove the app. Then use another app ( various apps are present in play store) to make the GPS app a system app. Then unroot

Please read my instructions carefully without asking doubts. You have to use an app called iSU. Link in the second post

I install as system app, reboot, but when i unroot, the app doesn't appear on screen but i checked to see if it's still in system/app and it is. If I root back, the app does appear on screen as system app.

Does iSU work on your ROM? You won't need to remove root if you are using a Nougat ROM

Have you installed busybox?
If you are using a custom ROM like lineage your build.prop values have to be changed.

You need to download an app to edit your build.prop file and you will need root for this.
3ctoolbox can edit the build.prop but you can use anything else.
Trying using the iSU app to just change the values only. Its a one click method by clicking the safe (green) button under props menu

So you are saying that iSu can hide root from SN?

You need to make a clean flash again. Wipe data. Dalvik cache (not internal) flash ROM again.
DO NOT INSTALL BUSYBOX

Yes. If you are on nougat just install the app and don't flash anything. You will then have to toggle root and selinux status through that app only
I have tested myself the old ways to put an app as system app on Oneplus 6, but I didn't know that with new Android patches there are some new issues and permissions required (like you can still use ..., link2sd, es file explorer,..., but you have to add some xml manually, depends on the specific app).
(Moderator Edit: reference to Warez removed - as per XDA's Forum Rules)
You still need root (magisk) with this method.
The best and the easier way I have found is to use a magisk module: App Systemizer (maybe you can find it as an app or not, idk).
Search in dowload section, in magisk manager, install it, then install a terminal emulator.
Write and enter:
su
systemize
choose 1 and it will provide you a numbered list of your installed apps
choose the correspective number
choose 2 to move to system/priv-app
It will provide the additional xml that are needed now to move an app to system; then reboot and the app will be properly moved to system.
Think this might need moved to guides section mate

What about if u do a factory reset? i tried this way but, when i do the factory reset the app is erased, dont make sense if dont survive a FR, you know how solve this?
Thanks for share!
One of the reason I wanted to upgrade my HTC One A9 to nougat was the multi window feature which I enjoyed on stock Samsung tochwiz..using my phone without it was very difficult.. Now I want to share with you the easiest way to get multi window feature on your marshmallow device without flashing any zip file or downloading any apk file nor xposed module..
Requirements:
1. Root access
2. Buildprop editor.
Download buildprop editor from the Google playstore, launch the app and grant it root access... scroll down under BUILD INFO scroll and locate ro.build.type, click on ro.build.type you will find "user" edit and change "user" to "userdebug" and click save, reboot your phone. After you reboot your device, enter developer option..scroll down and find Multi window and enable it.. then enjoy multi window...
Note: this should work on all stock rooted marshmallow devices.
