So I got around to "rooting" my "LG G4" (H525) via that one click tool called Kingroot.
So far so fine.
Pretty much all applications that require root will will allow it...
Except for one:
FlashFire....
It keeps telling me that root access was not possible,
that I shall't install SuperSU.
[However SuperSU will error out right on the start telling me to `update the binary']
=> What binary ? Why update it (just got the newest SuperSU from the Playstore)?
Trying to flash said binary using any Flashify merly showed me the lovely "your device is bricked" bugdroid...
Any idead from someone with similar FlashFire / SuperSU problems ?
Thanks in advance:

Do you have a custom recovery/twrp?

Nope, all stock.
(Part of the reason why this confuses me so much... I changed nothing... except for Root)
KingRoot is intentionally designed to serve two purposes. The first is to give you root access through their app. The second, which they don't warn you about, is to prevent you from managing that root access any other way than through their app.
They have written their app specifically to force you to use their root manager and to prevent you from uninstalling it and installing any other SU app. They went so far as to specifically block installation of SuperSU because they're upset that it replaces their app (which is blatantly absurd and hypocritical). If that's acceptable to you, then certainly do it their way.
However, because they place such restriction on root access (which seems to be a self-contradictory philosophy) then it directly interferes with the installation of more powerful root apps like flashing utilities and Xposed itself.
At this point there are two options. Either you can find a utility that breaks their stranglehold on your device and follow the specific instructions to remove their app and install something that's not restrictive, or you can restore your device to pre-root condition and root it again yourself using the open, non-restrictive methods made available to the community. Each method may be about as complicated as the other.
I rooted my moto g titan with twrp and installed cm13 to avoid device slowness. Now I want to know about the securities of the devices. Because when i googled for bank app security, personal data security and some forum said that jailbreak/rooted devices are very dangerous for this app and personal data like password and all.Is it true or they right about this?Because i love my device after rooting but in the other hand afraid of this stealing data thread.I have installed my banking app,whatsapp,gmail etc.Please help me is there any process to keep rooted device from stealing data.If it is true.
Root your device will let your app have more permission to read your data so your personal data may in danger with some unknown apps.
As the above post said.
When rooted it gives certain apps more permissions to your phone.
But only when rooted as I've read in many discussions such as that of Kaspersky Internet Security etc where they have mantioned malware apps which can take info from your phone without root.
Basic precautions :
Just browse safely : install adaway or use an adblock browser
Install an anitvirus and use Kaspersky internet Security (if you're paranoid about your bank details being stolen).
Use Google for more info.
So it's all about precautions...
Thanks a lot though
Oh... some people use fly gps... lets block everyone that has xposed/root/customroms!
-2 million everyday players...
some people still use fly gps or hacks...
Ok but that doesnt matter, we still need to fight agaisnt root! Lets block magisk...

Another history: Hello I'm a android user, and I can't be the owner of my own phone! Pokemon go don't allow me to log-in...
(google update safety net api: A optional api that help a app to know if you're root or with a custom rom..)
So How pokemon go and safety net makes super su and xposed better!?
SystemLess :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::silly:
How root and xposed SystemLess works?
Its like a ninja, instead of directly installing files to the system of your phone. /modifiying
It simple runs virtually.. use like a separate folder, it helps about compatibility, and performance!
The root will run based of permissions... SystemLess
Ok.. and what about custom rom and unlocked bootloader?
The devs are patching the custom roms with signatures, to spoof and pass the safetynet...
They are also working with bootlooader flag. It's possible to mask your bootloader state in most cases...
Other option is to buy a phone from a manufacturer that allow easily unlocking the bootloader without encriptation. Like OnePlus One unlocking process.
What you think? Root is administrator, but we can't be the owner of our phones.. -- by pokemon go
The thread title should have read "How Pokemon GO and SafetyNet work together to sell your location data".
First of all i highly recommend you update your phone to latest version of Flyme as of day i write this guide newest stable version is 7.0.0.0G. It brings various bug fixes as well as security update and new functions. It fixed the weather problem too when it would not appear on secondary screen. This is my experience based on the standard model with Helio P25 chip.
JUST IN CASE BACKUP ALL OF YOUR DATA FIRST
Grab it at http://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=88&type=1
Installation is pretty straightforward:
-switch off your phone
-now press volume up button and power button at same time, then release power button when meizu logo appears
-phone now will enter update mode, connect it to pc and it should show up as removable drive named recovery, copy the update.zip over it
-once copied tap the start button to begin. the process itself and first boot will take a while
-when done and phone boots up just log in to your accounts and set up everything as normal or whatever
ta-dah ! you should be running latest software now.
Next problem i've encountered was big number of unwanted apps and you will need working ADB for that. I've always used custom roms which did not contain bloatware. Now im giving you one of the way of disabling them (not permanent removal).
For this to be done you need to activate developer mode and usb debugging, simply go to settings->about phone->and now tap on your build number several times
After you activate it it will be available in accessibility options under developer settings. just check the usb debugging and you're good to go
DISCLAIMER: dont ask me about adb drivers for your phone, since i had issues installing them under win 10 x64 build 1803 i thought "aw f*ck it" and just did it on linux where everything worked out of the box.
The application you will need is called Ice Box (you will find it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.catchingnow.icebox&hl=en_US) and install it.
After you install the app its necessary that you remove ALL of your accounts including your Google account. We will need to grant the app device owner permission. Also if multi-user or guest mode has been set on your device, it need to be closed or deleted.
When you have that done just type in your command line , terminal or whatever "adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.catchingnow.icebox/.receiver.DPMReceiver "
Now reboot and add your accounts back, and disable/freeze uwanted apps.
Last - the night mode. As its no longer availble in Flyme 7 if you want to use it you need to manually bring it back by installing Flyme Lab and enabling it trough quickshortcutmanager. Install both apps, then open quickshortcutmanager and search for Flyme Lab. expand it and choose the activity named com.meizu.flymelab/com.meizu.flymelab.component.nightmode.NightModeSettingsActivity .Create shortcut and open it. You should be able to enter the night mode.
Nice guides, thanks.
It's also nice that Flyme 7 still supports rooting, therefore I'm using Titanium Backup to freeze unwanted apps. I bought it when I was using another phone so, for me, it's still worth it. Altough, for uninstalling system apps I'm using separate ADB commands for each app.

Its first time for me writing a guide so good word is always appreciated. What im trying to show here is the no root way of getting rid of apps for ppl like me who dont want to root their phone. As i bought it literally two days ago and i dont want to mess with it too much and loose warranty or/and OTA updates.
I also been considering posting a root guide once i tried it myself to confirm it working.

Well, before I discovered a rooting method for Flyme 7, I used to uninstall apps by using ADB commands. So, yes, it is possible to remove unwanted system apps without root. But now, after rooting Flyme 7, I'm only using Titanium Backup to freeze unwanted system apps, not removing them.
As far as I know, rooting Meizu phones by the official method (from Settings) does not lead to losing warranty. Only OTA updates are lost, but this is not important, at least to me, because I can always check Flyme website for new updates and, if I want to update, I just download the file and flash it through standard Flyme recovery. There is no need, for me, to maintain OTA capability. Anyhow, Flyme updates are slow to non-existent, so we can't really complain about losing an update.
Thank you all. I'm happy with this phone at all, but software has few shortcomings and design flaws, in my opinion. Especially related to the integration with "flyme login" and Touchpal. This last one is very annoying because although I try to stop it, at each software update it comes back, more annoying than ever. So, I have some questions: which is the adb command to stop and freeze bloatware without rooting? Which is the official way to root the phone? Once rooted, is it possible to revert to the unrooted state? Some apps, actually, do not work on rooted phones. Thanks

I can't freeze (or disable) apps with ADB commands, only uninstall.
You need [email protected], App Inspector or similar (to find exact name of package for an app) and these commands:
adb devices
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 name_of_package
Example, for gmail:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.gm
Regarding rooting, as far as I know, the only method that works on Pro 7 / Pro 7 Plus is also supported by Meizu (but it breaks OTA updates).
The method is described in this video (in russian) but it's quite easy.
If you want to remove root (or if root breaks functionality) you have to reflash the same ROM from Recovery (without wipe).
Any air update coming soon? Or manually installation single option?
Hello everyone,
I am facing an issue and will be eternally grateful if someone helped me with it. I recently lost some very important audio recordings from my phone. These are very important and I want to run a data recovery tool to help retrieve them but all such tools require root access. I then rooted my phone using magisk and checked the status via those root check apps and they show the status as rooted. However, the problem is that none of the data recovery tools recognize the root and hence cannot run a scan. Perhaps I am overlooking something here. Model of my phone is SM-N920I. I flashed the magisk via twrp and have also installed the Magisk manager. Everything is up to date. Again, when I check the root status of my phone via the app "Root checker basic" it says "Root access is properly installed". Also, when I am using the data recovery tool i.e. Fonelab my phone does not prompt me for root access. Nothing is shown on the screen.
I am sorry if this thread is in the wrong section. Mods can feel free to move it or notify me. Thanks
If other root apps are functioning properly it's an issue with the app you're trying to use. You should contact the developers of the apps in question...
