I suggest that you start a thread in "general" on that. guide on how to full unroot and remove the "custom" status. step by step. it'll help so many people. I'd use it, too. I wanna return my phone to ATT and get a replacement but I can't because of the custom status.
Thank you for the reply but my whole issue lies with Google play store.. my Internet at work won't allow me to d/l from the play store but it will let me d/l from anywhere else... so I need the actual apk of busybox not a hot link to the play store. Thanks though
Did it work for you? I'm not really big on starting threads especially if it doesn't work for everyone than you get people talking smack you know. If it worked for you let me know, you can start the thread yourself and just put my name
lol.
As much as I loved being rooted on my note 2. Rooting my Note 3 seems like a HUGE PAIN in the Ass. Obviously- Samsung and ATT have made it so complicated that its NOT worth rooting- UNTIL KINGO can unravel the mystery( Kingo showed a process that was, in my opinion. much easier. and they are still working on it.). With a alll due respect to this towelroot tool. I will wait until it is easier, bug free, and totally reversible so if I hit unroot with an app or dev tool. I have ,the official status back, and binary count at 0. Just my 2 cents.
My phone is on official status with busy box, safetrap, and rooted...
Mine too same exact setup..Never ran into a single issue with any of it. Not even myself not knowing how safestrap even worked "came from loki-ed S4". What are all the issues that people are having doing this?
Un root and take the ota then use towelroot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701062
Done it again just to confirm. Ok. It wasn't BusyBox" but the 'LuckyPatcher". I removed it and the status went back to the "official". Sorry for the misinformation and thanks guys for sharing an information about yours phones.
I am not sure how much easier it can get than pressing a button
,
Haha. You're funny,
well lets oversimplify the process, ignore the complications discussed throughout this thread, and lets not compare to other methods.
lets also ignore the obvious. its not as easy as rooting the note 2 or previous platforms.-
so what your saying is. just press a button and all things wonderful will flow, and sparkle out of your device and birds will sing in harmony.
Make a youtube video of just pressing a button. When you brick your phone, and try to have the warranty replace it..and they check your status, binary count, and see the obvious mods. they will say sir.. you are **** OUTA LUCK.!
C'mon. I was comparing. stating facts. and if you compare whats required to root this kitkat 442. sometimes we want things simple- although
not always available. so we wait. with time,, the process will get even easier. guaranteed.
Make sure you have root (DL a rootchecker from play store). If root achieved, install supersu. DL busybox from play store and install the app, then open the app and extract/install. Install SS 3.72 app and install recovery. Then you should be able to reboot into SS recovery.
