Custom ROM without ROOT

[jean001luc]

Does anyone know how I can implement a custom ROM but have it urooted

I need an unrooted for work. I have tried rootcloak type applications but they don't do the trick. Plus, this is for work so, in order to comply with requirements I want to make sure phone is not rooted rather than just hiding root

Reason I want to use custom ROM is to get additional features such as dropdown menu on main page, remove unwanted app (malware) and have smallest footprint possible

Flash custom ROM.
Download Root explorer or any other root explorer app
Navigate to system.

delete

/system/app/Superuser.apk

/system/xbin/su

or

/system/bin/su

reboot the phone

That should do it.

No good. Deleted system/bin/su and xbin/su but could not find system/apps/superuser

Rebooted device and still rooted

what ROM are you using ?

it could be
/system/app/superuser.apk
/system/app/Superuser.apk
/system/app/SuperSU.apk
/system/app/eu.chainfire.supersu.apk
/system/app/com.koushikdutta.superuser.apk
/system/app/com.noshufou.android.su.apk

in anycase ,you will need to reflash ROM or reflash superuser.
Technically the "Superuser" app is a front end for /system/bin/su...So you are unrooted, Just you need to remove that app..
