Root Temp Unroot works for a bit but then fails.

[charlesrr]

I have CyanogenMod 10.2 unofficial codina (4.3.1) and I have been using OTA Rootkeeper to temp unroot while using banking apps etc.
However, after a few days, it decides to not actually unroot.
Uninstalling/reinstalling rootkeeper doesn't help.

Any ideas?

Didn't the dev say this feature was temperamental on JB? I didn't have much success with it.

Have you tried the Hide Root module for Xposed?

No, cheers. Will give that a go and report back.

I've found the problem, but not the solution. Looks like Rootkeeper has borked root somehow so that the banking app thinks it's rooted, but it's actually not (root checker says "no"). Is there any way of resolving this, e.g. from a terminal window, without having to reload the whole thing? I tried reflashing the root.zip I used originally, but that didn't help. Thanks.

QI'm not sure, sorry.

It's been a while since I used root keeper, but isn't there an option to restore root?

Is the SU or SuperSU app still installed?

Rootkeeper thinks it's rooted so only offers me the option to temp-unroot .
SuperSU is installed but: "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" lol....

I think I'll start again and avoid using rootkeeper next time.

Took a look at Rootcloak in Xposed, but it's not working with my particular app yet. Thanks though because it pointed me to a possible solution.
