Just untick everything and reboot if you want to update via OTA, i think its enough to change back to normal, also unroot using the superSU

I don't want to moderate 40+ pages of this thread, so please stop giving eachother bad advice.

Do not listen to anybody that is advising you to NOT use the "on boot" patch.

If you do not enable the patch at boot, and enable it manually later, you are not protected. Not even a little. Any malicious exploiter will include a run at boot, and if you run into that, you are screwed. Might as well not patch at all.

Yes, it may break OTA, it may break camera (fixable though, see 1st post) and it may trigger modified status. If you don't want that, then don't patch. It's one or the other. You can't currently have it both ways.

Gives Root on UK Orange branded, unlocked Galaxy S2.
Model GT I9100
Android v4.0.4
Kernel version 3.0.15-I9100BVLPH

Camera has issues after apply the exploit fix. I notice the following.
If you apply the exploit fix and then run camera, front/back camera don't work. You need to kill it.
If you open the camera app, then apply the exploit fix, then the camera works.
I guess the camera needs to be able to do an open on the exynos_mem device and it is not privileged to do so.

Would changing the permissions on the camera app do the trick?

I don't care about OTA,all I care about is to have a ''official'' status in download mode in cases where I can no longer simply unroot it(i.e hardbrick,damaged touch digitizer etc) but well I guess I will keep the exploit disabled with this app till samsung fixes it or another solution is found.

Maybe because you got an OMAP device ?

Hello Chainfire,

thanks for your fix. A short question: I'm on a Note 2 and therefore the camera fix for the exploit fix does not work for me.
I guess disabling your exploit fix, shooting some fotos and then enabeling the fix again is insecure as a malicious app could use this time to gain root access?

I see, so most malicious exciter running on boot, if it like that then no other way that we must tick both option, I thought that malicious exploiter running like normal application when we download and run, not one that run at startup. Thanks for info and especially the temporary workaround patch.

I used this app to root my i9305 S3 LTE.

I'm know rooted, however I have an annoying bug which is that my screen brightness goes to 0% when I awake the phone out of standby. All the time.

Anyone know how to fix this please?

Installed last night on my S2 i777 running CM10 10-20121217 nightly. Works as advertised.

Camera still appears to be working.

THANKS to all who found this and have worked so quickly to find ways to address the problem. This has the potential to be very bad.

Are you running the app "Light Flow" I had the same problem when granting that app super user access. Disabled the app and back to normal.
