[URGENT] Device status CUSTOM and Problem with Root Alpha G850Y - Samsung Galaxy Alpha

Hey guys.. Bought a new Sam Galaxy Alpha G-850Y and tried rooting it using Framaroot, Towelroot and Kingroot. Framaroot and Towelroot don't support mh device and when i tried king root it Failed at 70%(rebooted once at 53%). Didnt worry then now tried updating my software by OTA. It says Your Device has been modified . Checked SystemStatus it is custom. Then checked root by various root check apps The Results were Different . see screenshots attached. One says not rooted one says not properly rooted and one says Rooted. Now What to do... titanium backup and other apps which require root permision say I dont have root. Trued downloading Supersu but Didnt open properly. As i think m not rooted. Now i am thinking to properly root it and then unroot it.
I want my device status to official. How to??
Or else I want it properly rooted dont wanna get stuck in middle. Please help
NOW heard CF Autoroot works well but WILL IT TRIP KNOX?? [major question]
Any Other ways.. any help is wholeheartedly appreciated.. ?

If you want ro revert back to stock status then search for the proper country firmware on sammobile.com for your version of alpha and flash it with odin. It will erase all errors snd bring the phone to the fresh os.

Yes if the superuser.apk is gone, that means you unrooted it. You didn't have to do that for flashing tho.

[Q] if i make root to my phone can i update to JB?

hi
i want to do root to my phone
but my friend tell me if i do root
i can't update to JB after this

Is this true?

No it is not, and your friend is wrong. You can update to JellyBean any time you want, and YOU CHOOSE if you want to keep your phone rooted or not.
If you root, you can update to jellyBean using MobileOdin (available in the PlayStore), and choose to keep root or not.
You can also update using the PC version of Odin3, but that way it will NOT keep root.
So, sumarize, you can do anything want, rooted or not, upgraded or not!!!
Only problem is that OTA update may well fail on a rooted phone .

Why wait on OTA if you can do it using MobileOdin (to retain root) or Odin3 ?
I never had an OTA upgrade and yet I had all upgrades before everyone else.
Besides, you wrote "may", which is the proper word: when rooting and upgrading are done correctly, your binary counter is ZERO and the ROM is marked as official, so any OTA would work if I had patience to wait.
Yep, you can't update via Kies. But Kies sucks anyway so Odin is your no.1 choice

[Q] Root new Official firmware for Xperia SP? Build 12.1.A.0.266

I am rooted when i update my 4.1 to 4.3 after 4.3 update is done super su tells "There is no Su binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!, If you just upgraded to android 4.3 you need to manually re root consult the relevant forums for your device!.
You can try DooMLords method again and see what happens? I don't know if that'll make you have to flash a whole new firmware again though

Thanks dear. My phone is rooted now :victory:
There were some warnings from the KNOX about the security but I disabled them. Now I need to know a few more things;
1- How to check my knox status?
2- Is my phone still eligible for the OTA update, especially to the lollipop?
3- Can/should I delete the knox related apks etc?
4- which native apps are "blot" and I should delete them?
Thank you so much

Well getting warnings from knox is not normal...
To check knox status turn off your phone and turn it back on by the combination of power + volume down + home buttons at the same time...Warning sign appears...Press volume up button and you will enter download mode...
Now on screen look for knox 0×0 ...if it is 0×1 then your warranty is void
==> No you will not get the OTA Updates after rooting phone...But when lollipop update arrives...Just flash original stock rom through odin...you will get the update
==> No need to remove anything .... Bloatwares have no effect on phone unless you open them I advise not to remove/mess with system files
This method published late and i already got my warranty void ( cuz i love moddng) (Not sad at all )
Probably nothing but VirusTotal gives an 18/57 ratio

If i was you i would use google and search here on xda and read up about root, twrp, bootloops etc...
You can not root without tripping knox and you never will be able to.
Dont try it unless your confident with it and how to recover if it goes wrong.

I have the same model with build number G925FXXU5EQD6 for Android 7.0 and I downloaded cfautoroot zip and booted to Download mode and flashed the zip with Odin 3.12 by puttin it in AP and let it reboot and then just click the SuperSU icon in the app drawer and set it to Always allow root. Then install the update for SuperSU that Google Play asks you to do. Then update the su binary when prompted and say yes to disable KNOX and wait for it to say Succeeded. Now install Root Checker from Google Play and Open it and click to check if it tells you its rooted or not. You may be prompted to Allow the calling of su so just click Allow or Yes.
That's how I did anyhow.
After that, just install flashify from Google Play and flash the img for zerolte.

About 2 minutes with cf autoroot. Look at the post above mine thats the quickest way. But thats for 7.0. If you root y.0.1 its same but make sure you get the correct autoroot file

Tripping KNOX is just a way for Samsung technicians to see if you're phone has been tampered with.
A friend of mine has a law suit waiting for him from Samsung just because I somehow managed to burn the motherboard flashing the wrong zip file based on an older guide that seemed to be made to help people brick their phones.

TWRP is a custom recovery with various features that you don't get with the stock recovery.
One of these are have a Terminal to run commands in.
You can also theme the Recovery with other background pictures and what not....

You'll be prompted on the screen to update the su binary. Do that.
Other than that you don't need anything else besides TWRP.
I'm trying to finish the port of Lineage OS to this device and I have my own device tree on github, but it needs more developers.
I also have a defconfig to build the kernel, but I haven't found it easy to upload it to Lineage's gerrit yet.

Install flashify from playstore. Grant root permission in supersu app. From flashify you can install twrp from the app.

What i would do now is boot to twrp (recovery) and make a full nandroid backup. Basically it backs up absolutely everything so if anything should go wrong you can always restore. Deffinately boot to twrp and backup efs. This is your imei files. Save them externally to pc or something. If they ever corrupted its pretty impossible to repair.
As for battery optimisation ypu can try better battery stats (app) or Lspeed (app) to see whats eating your battery and you can tweak from there.
Or try a custom kernel, some are made to optimise battery and performance.
Also if you are in to your music and audio, look at viper4android. Best music fx you can get.
