unroot airwatch
Hello, I am tempted to do this so I can remove some bloat, however, I need air watch installed which detects root, check in is once every 14 days for compliance. Worst case, can restore to stock?
However, I would just like to be able to uninstall stuff and then unroot and reinstall air watch. Is unrooting possible?
Do I need to install Safestrap if I have no intention to load custom roms?
Our company is BYOD, however Airwatch is required to allow remote wipe/enforce long passwords/activesync parameters. Only requirement for BYOD is non rooted or jailbroken phones.

Someone with experience might be able to answer this question. I don't intend to flash any custom ROMs. The only reason that I would install Safestrap is because that is the only way that I know of making a Nandroid for a locked bootloader. My Apps and Data are about 7 GB, so it would be pointless for me to use one of the virtual slots of 6GB maximum. I intend to use my Stock ROM slot, i.e. boot up into my stock ROM. My question is this: If I don't create any virtual slots with Safestrap and boot into my stock ROM as I would normally do, would my new internal storage space be greatly diminished in size? I like having a lot of storage for future expansion possibilities. If so, maybe a nandroid would not be feasible for me.

After installing ROM into second slut it will not boot.
I followed this procedure and rooted my SM-N900V with CN4, installed busybox, installed SafeStrap, Installed SS Recovery, re-booted into recovery, created a slut, installed the Hyperdrive ROM onto the created slut and rebooted the system. The problem is the reboot goes into a black screen and never comes out. Has anyone been able to fix this issue?
Also at firest I installed the SS ver 3.75. in that version the system size is stuck at 2612 and cannot be changed. In version 3.72 the system size can be changed but the result is the same (Black screen after installing ROM)
Thank you
Sam

Hope I'm interpreting your question correctly, but no, if you don't create any slots your memory is not affected solely because you installed SS.

Think this thread might help... If you're on the OTA NC4, then you'll need to follow the directions for "retail". Instead of the stock ROM mentioned, you'll be using Hyperdrive ROM.

Hello, I'm sorry for the bother but I have searched everywhere for months since towelroot came out and I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere. So, I have rooted my Verizon Note 3 SM-N900V NC4 with towelroot, installed busybox and safestrap. It will boot into safestrap just fine but when I try to install any custom rom like jellybeans or hyperdrive, it says "E: Unable to mount '/system'. It will eventually say that it was successful but when I go to reboot to says "no OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot?" Even when I try to wipe before installing, it wont wipe because it's unable to mount system. So I clicked on the "mount" box in safestrap and it will not mount system when in any rom slot. Although it will mount when I am in the stock rom slot. I did try and install jellybeans in the stock rom slot and it soft bricked my phone. I ended up having to Odin back to NC4. Also, sometimes when I reboot and to goes to the safestrap screen, it says "safestrap: Disabled" but sometimes it doesn't say disabled and it seems to be working just fine. I've tried installing a rom both ways, enabled and disabled, and in both cases, the same thing happens, Unable to mount to system. I would really appreciate any help that anyone could give me. Like I said, I've looked everywhere and tried everything that I could think of and everything that I could find that is out there but there has yet to be a solution that works for me. I could really use some help from someone smarter than me. Thank you to anyone who responds!
Thanks again,

Used odin to flash it. Place the file in the AP section of odin.
No issues with tripping knox flashing the kernel ... A friend of mine wants me to root/ROM his phone but he is worried about knox(I could care less but he does) thanks for the response
Just follow the instructions and use the ROMs here and knox won't be tripped.
Thank you very much!!!..I was about to trade in my note 3 for a moto x...sooooo glad I came across your thread!
I just picked up a used Note 3, and it's on MJE
from what I'm seeing, there's no benefit to staying on MJE, and I should try to update to NC2.
Am I right? Is there any benefit to staying on MJE? I haven't activated it yet, but once I do, will it allow me to OTA to NC2 before offering me OTA to NC4? or do I need to find a way to Odin to NC2 from MJE?
advice would be appreciated
edit: sorry, forgot to mention that I intend to root/safestrap/custom roms, etc...

Hey guys I have the note 3 on edge and i dont plan on returning it. I love this phone. I towelroot and installed su on NC4 came with the phone. I installed safestrap NC2 version on the phone and it seems to install fine. Just to make sure it is compatible with this correct? and the only roms we can use is hyperdrive?
OK I just rooted my note 3 and installed safestrap....I'm on nc4.... What is the next step to install custom Roms?
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda premium
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda premium
The only ROM possible to use is jasmine, unless downgrade kernal to nc2
is there any way i could get the zip/file?
im assuming if i flash it via odin, then i can finally flash the custom roms via safestrap and get past this blackscreen!?
