[Q] Rooting a Device with citrix mobile connect

[ofird]

I have to install citrix mobile connect to connect to the Exchange server at work, and citrix will not run on a rooted device
is there a way to overcome this or perhaps install a different app to receive exchange sync?

(for example will "hide root" work here)?

You can try voodoo rootkeeper that can perform a temporary unroot.

I will start with this thread and see if blocks the exchange sync, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273

I hope rooting doenst erase my data, as I am already working for a week with the device.

Anyway, I will run titnium backup before I start

titanium backup needs root

just found that out

So - any other ROM back up program out there that doesnt neet root?

or perhaps i dont have to worry about losing data with CFAuto root?

rooting does not delete data, whereas you never can be sure 100% that it will go as planned. Nevertheless there is not app that can backup 100% of your rom without root.

If you rooted it correctly SuperSU or SuperUser should already be installed. Did you have any progress getting Citrix to work while rooted? Im in the same situation and I've only been able to get it to work briefly with Touchwiz based ROMs with SuperSU. All others give me a " cannot connect due to a security policy" error - even after disabling root and trying to re-enroll. Its a beast...

 

[ofird]

Yes I have
I used hide my root throughout all the process.
I check with root checker to validate it's indeed hidden.
And I keep running hide my root at all times

Nice! I'm gonna give that a go then. Thanks

I have had to do the same...and all seems to work. But I had to also install two more apps enforced by policy; Lookout, and Touchdown.

Any ideas on what these do?

 

[ofird]

Touchdown is a great app for synching all your mails, notes and Exchange data.
I use it

I don't know what lookout is for
