R.I.P

Thanks for all what you've done for the android community, and good luck !

It's probably for the best

Thank you for your valuable contribution to the Android development community. Good luck in the future!

I feel like I'm behind when people say things like "the way things are heading". I'm still in Android 6, is it really that bad?

I will never forget my first android, and super su it opened a new world to me... But you have your right to start new things wish you luck

You made great stuff and had a good run. Here's to the next chapter! ?

Thank you for all your great work. The community will never forget you.

Speechless..... Thank you for the great impact made in community.

God bless......

Thank you for your years of hard work & thanks for communicating the changes. Godspeed

I appreciate everything you have provided and can't thank you enough.

You provided a service at a time when there was none and you should

always be proud of that.

Best of luck and again.. thank you!!

Rich.

Best of luck my friend, thanks for the great memories.

Thanks m8 and good luck

I appreciate everything you've contribute to Android community. good luck.

Thanx for all your hard work and the time you spent in the last years!

With your work you make a lot of Android users happy.

Best regards

We cant thank you enough for you works. Its a Sad to miss you

I want to send a HUGE THANK YOU to Chainfire! I feel that, without him, we probably wouldn't have so many tools, tricks and quite possibly, root. Unfortunately, everything comes to an end at some point and we're here. Chainfire, good luck and congrats on your next endeavors. I will continue to use your tools although it is now EOL.

Chainfire, you are a gentleman, a scholar, and a beast! =) <thumbs up>

We all appreciate your contributions to this community, wish you the best of luck in your future projects.

thank you for the great work you done for free .

Thanks for EVERYTHING. Cheers

+Chainfire Will CF.lumen be open-sourced? ?

Why in Cinco de mayo :'(

Thank you so much for everything you have given to the community.

Best of luck on your future endeavors.

+Chainfire you will be missed, thank you for everything

Thanks for everything and good luck for your future projects ? +Chainfire

Thank you for everything

Thank you for your hard work. As a result of your contributions many of us have been able to push the boundaries of our Android devices. Best of luck with your future endeavors.

thanks！bro.

Thanks for all the roots x

Thank you for everything you have done for the Android community +Chainfire

Thank you Chainfire! You'll be missed.

Gonna miss you. Thanks for all your time and effort. Good luck for your future project.

Thank you for everything Sir!

Thank you for all you have done for the Android root community and for making all the devices I've used that much better. I wish you nothing but success on all your future projects and endeavors. Godspeed and good hunting!

Thanks! ?

Bedankt voor alles!!

Thank you +Chainfire , you made the earlier Android offerings bearable when the default loads sucked. I would definitely encourage open sourcing some of your portfolio to keep the ideas alive. Also a great tool to help other devs to learn new ways to wrap their head around a project.

Thank you for all that time you spent giving away free apps, more especially the true professional approach you always gave free or paid apps.

And here's to an end of era THANKS FOR YOUR WORK WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU I AM SAD ,CRYING I should not its for the good See you mate wish you an happy ending thanks man really means a lot to us

+Chainfire Thank you for everything you've done for the Android community!!!!!

Thank you for everything. I hope you will be back ❤

So long, and thanks for all the roots ☺️

This is more than sad. You were the God of root... Now it's slowly dying. Root isn't necessary anymore for most features that before worked just WITH root. I don't like the iOS praise of Google right now as well. Here's hope they will design a completely new design language that will make coding easier and more beautiful!

Thank you +Chainfire for everything you have done for us all. It's been greatly appreciated, and we all wish you the best in your future, wherever it may take you.

Keep up high expectations for RL things, and thanks for all you have given us in the past years.

Thank You!

Thank you for the closure. It would have been, and so often is, easy to just drop off the map quietly.

Thank you for everything you have provided to the community, chainfire and root have always gone hand in hand. You will be solely missed and I wish you all the best with your future projects and life, thank you again sir!

Thanks for everything and good luck with your new project ?

You're a legend, my friend. Thank you for all you have done for the android community. I wish you nothing but success in the future and hope to run into more of your future work, whatever that currently entails. Consider open-sourcing or leaving projects in the hands of capable people, but you owe nothing to no one to do such things. Best of luck and thanks for all the Roots.

Its shocking ..

Thanks for all the work.

Good luck mate, and thanks for everything you've done over the years.

Oh boy, these are sad news. But I'm happy for you, make the best out of your knowledge.

Thanks for all the root access we've gained with your tools through the years.

Your name will be never forgotten I swear!

#respect

Legend moves on

+Chainfire Thank you for the CF auto root, SuperSU , Mobile ODIN and Triangle Away because of which Samsung devices were tolerable. It was the ability to root and tinker that got me to Android and the happy times I have enjoyed.

Thanks for all you've done. ?

I was shocked to hearing it!!! Thank you very much for the good work man! You are fully-trully appreciated!!!! Tnx so much! I'm in the smartphones' world (and root) since July 2011. You rock and have SAVED hours of time with root->backup->restore!

Thanks for your work on everything, you made a huge difference with Android for me.

Thanks for all the Root helps over the years. Be less root and more Groot ?

Thank you for everything. You've done so much for so many. Here's wishing you the best in your future endeavors.

Almighty #Chainfire how will the root community stand without you?

Stay with us and don't forsake us ?

You will be sorely miss. Thanks for all your efforts, kindness and generosity.

I'm particularly sad about 500 Firepaper. As a photography aficionado, it brings joy and beauty to my phone everyday. Nothing will be the same without it.

I wish you the best in the future and, since dreaming is free, I hope you will be eventually involved in bringing a true Linux phone a reality ?

Thank you for your incredible work, good luck with your other projects

Thanks for the awesome work you have done and my best wishes for your future endeavours

Thank you for opening up possibilities to the world. I was a total diehard fan, even paid for su pro. I did try magisk but wasn't impressed. As far as moving on, I can relate. Started in the unlock, customizing, custom roms back with ppc (windows phone 6) all being htc's and had to switch when (in my opinion) they lost touch with the consumer, and first time ever, switched. After getting my note 8 on pre- order, and there being no way to unlock bootloader, no systemless root, and only root that did work left us with battery only charging to 80%, I dropped out of anything android. Lost interest. Went on to other things.

I'm sure you have your own reasons. And I do understand.

Maybe "passing the puck and moving on" would be a good farewell gesture, but (for lack of better words) lost time in your personal life, sleepless nights that may have kept you away from a loved one, or any other sacrifice someone else close to you paid. Holding on to what you have left, it's all you.

Every single Android OS user, rooted, non-rooted or one of the uneducated/unconcerned masses, owes +Chainfire a huge debt of gratitude for the countless innovations and refinements that have come from his dedication to bringing his best to the mobile platform for years. I have rooted many devices over the past 8 years and enjoyed an all new experience unknown to me before this, owing much of that to this amazing developer and Android enthusiast who amongst other projects brought us the legendary SuperSU and provided the community a powerful solution to get us started in the world of rooted devices. His knowledge, devotion and reliability in this area of interest kept us coming back with each new Android device for a tool that allowed us a safe and stable application to manage root access/superuser rights, the very first step in the process, no, the journey that begins with each of us and eventually brought new features and functionality to the users of Android OS, via 3rd party projects and continued innovation from the development community that added amazing new ways to use our phones, tablets, watches & boxes - many of said innovations eventually incorporated into the operating system itself as Android OS matured and grew into a truly outstanding mobile OS with each new update gradually growing into it's own as development spurred design and design drove the entire project forward to become the behemoth we have explored more than most thanks in great part to the work of +Chainfire I could rant and rave and ramble for days, weeks and months about how I feel about the development community, root vs. non-root, pros and cons, Google vs. Apple and why we should/shouldn't do this, that or the other and inevitably it'll always include an enthusiastic chapter about this developer and his contributions to the only mobile OS I've ever known or wanted to for that matter. But I have done enough (and then some ?) of that already and for now I'll simply close this addition to the original post with a long overdue and heartfelt "thanks for the memories" and well wishes to you in all your future endeavors both professional and personal. And I hope to one day see your influence and ability in some shape or form return to the best OS around, one that wouldn't be nearly as awesome as it is today without your dedication, determination and all the (unpaid/under appreciated hours spent working under the hood and behind the scenes to bring your vision to the masses. You. Are. The Man. And will be missed but never forgotten, sir. Cheers to +Chainfire ??????✌?????

This is sad,?? But thanks for all

You were (are) a great asset to the Android community. Thank you very much!

You (were) are the fourth pillar of android.

Android community will miss you. Truly a hero of rooting!

Thanks for all the help in the community. Stay blessed

Thanks for all your hard work. Plz pass on ur knowledge to others some time ?

Thank you for everything!

Maybe, the time where we had to root our Android devices is terminated!

Bye!

U r a legend

You have done amazing work for Android community with your boot image knowledge. I'm really sad to see you go. ??

The King may have left the building but the magisk still lives on.

I might pull out my Xperia Z Ultra with rooted Kit Kat and have a little Rooted But Not Stuffed celebration.

Thank you for the wonderful ride.....all the best in your new endeavors.

May you get what you've desired +Chainfire you've been brilliant all these years! The only one and you haven't received enough praise! I wish nothing but the best for you!

Thanks for your contributions. I haven't felt the need to root in a few years as Android has matured to a level that no longer necessitates root functionality. But your work got me through in the early days.

?Good luck with your Future Projects.

Thanks for all your work. Your apps made life (and Android) so much easier!! I haven't rooted in a long time but I remember when the best way to use Android was through your apps and your work. Thanks for everything!

thank you for everything and good luck with your future projects.

Good luck +Chainfire and may the road rise up to meet you whatever you decide to do. Thanks for everything.

Thanks for your work, your tools helped a lot!

Good luck with future endeavors.

Your work will never be forgotten. Thank you. All the best.

Thank you for everything you have done for the android Community you sir are a legend ♥

Your work and your presence with intellectual brain will be dearly missed. Best wishes in your newer endeavor.

Thanks for everything. Best wishes!!

+Chainfire, is there any other individuals who may have worked with you on one or more of your developments that's familiar enough with them to continue with the further development of them?

Just out of curiosity... :-)

It's just hard to see you go and feels like I'm looking a great (online) friend for so long!

I truly do understand why you had made this decision and I'm not going to even attempt to question it as well. You've provided a GREAT deal of developments, information, support, etc... for so long and I truly hope that you, at least, pop in from time to time here as well as on the xda-developers Forum too.

Peace and Love!

Peace and Love!

~Ibuprophen

Thank you for all your contributions to Android. Your app Supersu helped me discover XDA. Best of luck in whatever you do ?

Thank you for enabling millions of utter nutters like me to spend hours using your methods of rooting Samsungs (S2,S3,S4 Note 3, S6) to be able to install new recoveries, get rid of bloat, and flash ROMs. It became and remains a hobby.

You Sir, are a legend among Android users. I hope you have as much success in your other projects as you did making Android better.

Thanks for all the development I have used many of your apps countless times. You will be sorely missed in the development community. Best of luck

You're the first person I knew when the term root was firstly registered into my vocabulary. We will miss you?

+Maikel oh dear, that video was shot after midnight and both me and +Will Verduzco were eh... intoxicated. I'm surprised it ended up being somewhat coherent.

Also let's never link it again!

As we know all each things has beginning and end. But your superb work will never ended even you stopped developing. Thanks bro wish you all the best.

You have no idea how much joy and happiness you're work has brought into my life and the millions of you're supporter's and fans. You single handedly restructured the very structure of the worlds society by opening the door of software development to classes of people that otherwise would never had had no chance of accessing such knowledge, such as myself. You have no idea how much I appreciate your'e work and all the pain it help me endure. Good luck to you and remember that I AM NOT ALONE!

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for everything sir ?

Thank you Mr Chainfire for all your time and hard work. All the best with you and your future projects.

noooooo i wuv youuuuuu :( thanks for everything you've done for the android community, it wouldn't be the same without you lol

Dang, but best of luck!!

Why would you do that?

The next Android version, without root, you won't be able to theme the device anymore. Samsung and Google are making it official. People are gonna need your services.

Thank you for all your dedication to this work...you have forever earned much respect !!!

Thanks for all your contributions! Hope this is just a temporary goodbye.

Good bye ??

You have earned great respect but I would like to add.."We need Your help for the future android ".

Thank you, all the best & good luck ..

I remember my 1st android rooting with supersu zip, doing hell lot of things with root access and bricking a lot of time. Thanks for all your contributions throughout all these years.

+Rudranil Ghosh I like people thanking people very much !!!

Хорошего отдыха, и огромной музы для других творений какими бы они ни были))))))))))))))

Thank you for everything you brought to the Android community. Your contributions were amazing. Best wishes

The first root app i used was SuperSu, goodbye ?.

Thanks for all the contributions you made for the android community. All the best

Thank you for all your hard work. I loved being able to mod my phones, since the HTC Evo, and gain the extra freedom it allowed. I agree. Android is not really evolving and making our user experience better. I used to be android pure, but now I look forward to see what nifty tricks each hardware manufactor provide. I only really root for some kind of adblock control. I'll gladly support devleopers by allowing ads, but I'm not too keen on ads raping my app time. Take care. And thank you.

My favourite and the only root manager that comes to my mind when rooting: SuperSU, thank you very much!! I will keep using it till any future android changes break it?

We're gonna miss your SuperSu. Good luck for the non-android project that you're working on.

Thanks for everything. We will miss you

Thanks for everything man. I remember coming across Chainfire3D years ago when the Galaxy Y had surfaced. Remember rooting and porting root based applications to that device ages ago. The name "Chainfire" is what made me click this from Google Now, because the name's stuck in my memory. Good luck for your future endeavors!

Just want to throw my "Thanks" out for everything you have done and given to the Android Community. Best wishes in your new projects and ventures.

Sometimes we take things for granted, I never thought CHAINFIRE'S root tools would come to an end. It's just to linked with Android. Everytime I thought about anything root related, the only thing that would come to my mind would be Chainfire. It's almost mythical.. since my HTC HD2 days.

Thank you very much for all the time you devoted to us, your contribution would be forever linked with Android development, I think that half of the things done in the last years in Android development would never happen without your contribution.

Farewell dear Chainfire, thanks for everything.

I would say just one thing.. take a break...You will surly come back with much better idea.. It is said great developers cannot stay with development.. "YOUR LAST LINE SAYS IT ALL?" good luck.

Thanks for everything you've done for the community over the years.

Oh! Man Chainfire this Nexus 6 user will definitely miss U ♥️ Lol. Thanks For Your Great Efforts on Rooting.

Great job you did well ,please come back with good ideas and farewell ?️

Ever since I started modding Android devices with my Galaxy S, your apps have really helped me a lot and, like with a lot of things, your work will really be missed. Good luck with your future work!

Thanks

Miss u. Please do come back...

Thanks for all you had done for us.

Onwards and Upwards Chainfire!!! As much as I will miss your root tools and SuperSu, I know that ANY kind of developments,projects etc...that have you on the team,are the team to beat. So long SuperSu, and well.... What's up ✊ Majisk? I hung on to the bitter end with SuperSu, only having used Majisk a few times. Thank you +Chainfire for everything you have done for Android and all your genius does for mankind period!!!!

Respect! hats off

So sad

Good luck for your future projects

Buddy

Thanks for all the fish... Good luck in your future endeavors.??

Praise to ya Chainfire, new roles always good. Good times rooting my samsung moment got me started. Thank you for your applications and development!

Thanks a lot for your all support.... We all miss you a lot....

Good luck for your future..

Sir, you earned it and it will not have been the same without your root. Enjoy and much appreciated.

Your work on root applications is legendary. Thanks.

Thank you for the fantastic work you have done. Although I have not had root on any of my devices for a while now, I do remember the godsend your work was when I did need it. As appreciation I did buy supersu pro, but don't have it installed anymore. May you find tons of happiness and purpose on your path through life.

Thank you for everything, really.

QAQ thank you so so so so much for your former contributions，we will Remenber you，forever. And best wishes to you in the days to come.??

Thank you for everything

Thanks for all the hard work! Good luck with future projects.

I have been using your root access method for 8 years and still now!

Thanks a lot for what you have done and good luck for your future works.

You will not be forgotten! You always have my respect.

I am already starting to miss you, supersu, 500 firepaper, cf.lumen and flashfire. Well it can't be helped i guess.

A ton of thanks to you. You've been amazing. I always respected you for the decision of making your (almost all)apps already free. Chainfire has been an important part of my life.

Thank you for everything.

I wish you touch the peaks of success wherever you go.

Veel geluk in de toekomst,en bedankt!

You never been replaced

Thanks for everything

Going to miss you Chainfire. Your SuperSU binaries have made root access possible around the world for years -- for thousands and thousands of users. I'll especially miss you at XDA. (I'm MotoJunkie01 Recognized Contributor). Take care, God Bless, and may you prosper eternally at whatever you do. Thank you Chainfire for your years of hard work and contributions in both the XDA community and the Android community as a whole.

Not only me but also the entire rooted Android community will definitely miss you. All your good works are never forgotten.. all the very best for your future endeavours!!

I am going to miss you, Chainfire. You're a legend and your contributions won't be forgotten, ever.

I am going to miss your work. bcoz of you I can root my lot of phone. Thanks for everything.

Your work was amazing. Nobody is going to forget you. U will always be remembered

I still remember using Chainfire 3D back in the Gingerbread days to run some games on low end devices. You sir, are a legend, and your name will forever echo across the entire Android community.

We'll miss all your awesome apps. Wish you a mighty luck for the future!

Thank you very much for EVERYTHING you've done for the community. May you have every success in your future projects. I discovered rooted devices thanks to you. Japanese bow

Sad to see you go. I have bought most of your apps and want to thank you for all your contributions. I especially sad that 500firepaper will stop working as it has become my favorite app and so far no wallpaper app come even close to it in usability. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Thanks, man, you've been an inspiration. Plus, CF.lumen fixed screen burn on my Xiaomi. Hats off to you!

Great work, bro. Thanks for all your effort over the years. I've used your apps and loved every one I've tried. I don't know that I could have put up with Android at all without the edge your root control app SuperSu gave to the end user. Thanks from a very grateful user.

All the best in your Future

Thank you for your service CF!

Best of luck in your new enterprise, you surely will be missed! And last but not least, thank you for everything you have done for all of us!

I stopped rooting with my S7, so I understand your reasoning behind leaving Android behind. You've made it possible for me to do so much more with my previous phones, and your time and effort do not go unnoticed. Good luck with your current and future endeavors.

Thank you for all your contributions. Your work and talent, being legendary, will not be forgotten. And, hey, you're not dying, I for one seeing you making a valiant return one day with apps to blow us all away once more!

?

Goodbye and thank you.

This is sad but I can understand, seems Androids are going the way of the rest of the world: complicated and losing simplicity. A heartfelt thank you for all of the work you've done to make my life easier!

Back in the days of 4.2, and when Samsung phones were a little more open, I had an S3. It was an OK phone. Little bit slow, even compared to other models of the time, due to Samsung and their habit of bloating the hell out of everything. I discovered CF Auto Root, and, with a new phone coming in a couple months, gave it a try. With SuperSU, and later on, with me looking at custom ROMs, that phone got a new lease on life. If I hadn't been introduced to your work, I probably would be typing this from an iPhone, and not an Xperia running a custom ROM. Thank you for all the contributions you've made to the Android community, and we will always be grateful for what you've done for us.

Hey really bad news for me since my phone is still on Android KitKat .well you were awesome and we appreciate your work

Thank you for all those years you've gifted us with your talent. I wouldn't be using Android still if it wasn't for SuperSU, you kept my sanity intact by allowing me to mold my devices to my absolute liking.

Best wishes for success in your new and future projects, they are lucky to have you!

As a personal fan of SuperSU and some of your other softwares, thank you very much for your help Chainfire. Your apps helped me mod my first device, an old Samsung Galaxy S3, and from there I have been thrust into the world of Android ROMs, rooting, recoveries, and so much more. SuperSU was my first rooting app, and I will continue to use it on my devices into the far future.

So long for now friend. I wish you luck in your future endeavors ?

thank you ferry ferry much..

Thank you for the great work !

So sad and thank you

Your work will always be missed!

Hey Chainfire,

From the bottom of my heart, I really really thank you what you are done for us. You brought us the first easy to use root method. You will be the King of kings for ever.

I wish you all the best and I hope you have a great time with us.

Thank you and good bye (for now)

Thanks for all you have done

Thank you for all

Because of you we had many great things on android. God bless and have a great future. Thanks.

Thanks for all your hard work +Chainfire

Wishing you the best of luck for future products and hope to see you back at some point. But I do get it. I haven't rooted my device since I wiped it, and I'm pretty happy. Guess you kinda don't need root anymore for most things.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

You were the biggest android modder dev I ever known. Hoping you will be back soon, good luck with your projects. I am with you yet, continuing giving you my support!

I will miss you?

Thank you for writing all articles/posts/answers and so on I have read from you in the past.

I have learned a lot by doing so, and I want to thank you very much for that.

Wishing you all the best in life. :-)

Thank you for being a big part in the Android root scene. Many of today's rooted phones were possible to get rooted because of you and you can be really proud of that. You will always be a legend! Do your thing :)

Thank you for all the hard work. I really enjoyed your apps and solutions over the years. Your legacy will definitely continue, even if you never write another line of Android-related code again. Good luck on your future projects!

Thank you sir!

The end of an era, best of luck in your new endeavors +Chainfire

My G1, still functional, and I heartily thank you for years of learning and outright fun. You rocked the Android world (that's a couple bilion users, last I heard). I feel like I've known you, or at least your work, as long as I've known my kids (actually it's pretty close). I can't help but keep an eye on your future efforts, and I'm looking forward to it!

Gracias por todo maestro.

???

Merci et bonne chance à tous.

I thank you for all you have done +Chainfire

Most applications I have written are root, I still use root on every device I own and will continue to do so for as long as possible.

I wish you the best on your future endeavors and hope you do release the source to some of your applications so they continue to function into the foreseeable future.

i think that android give some notice to chainfire to stop rooting and making root apps, otherwise why he quit from root, he is the best and no one challenge him against

superuser

Thank you so much for you rock solid work! Best luck!

Thank u for support all these year. Hope you come up with new stuffs for us in android gsm world.

Yardımların için teşekkür ederim

Thanks for your great one-man-army work and have fun with all your upcoming future projects :)

You have given freedom to android user to break free of oem's restrictions, your work on root applications is the best

You made Android better

You rock, man! Best wishes! Thank you!

Sad to see you going. I love your work, special 500 firepaper.

Best of luck, and thank you.

Thank you for everything, and good luck with your future endeavors.

Thanks for all your hard work. I use to use Windows mobile on my Artemis back in the day and then was sold a crappy windows phone 7 which I could not do anything with, so I changed over to android, supersu was the first thing I done opening endless customisations for me. Thank for all your work and enjoy your new project.

All hail chainfire.

Thank you very much for your work. I couldn't have a comfortable day without root (daily use makes and made me donate).

greetings from Germany

you are one of the most important android developer in the world, and you make android very very big for a lot of people!!! greetings and good luck for all!!!

Thank you and good luck! Your work will be missed.

Thanks for everything and all the best.

Thou art a smitemaster ?

Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to the community. I'm sure what ever projects you venture on into will flourish with your knowledge behind them.

You are a living legend. Thank you for all your hard work through the years.

Thank you very much indeed! You will be sorely missed.

sad news, you'll be missed, but I understand; good luck in your future endeavors...

Thanks for the time you've devoted to Android. I am grateful that your interest in Android led to the work you've done, making my experience on Android greater than it would have been without it. It led me to a better overall satisfaction with my devices, and sparked my interest to learn so many new things.

Thank you

Thanks my friend, good luck on your new endeavor.

Thanks for your hard work

THANK you for all you brought to the table I've always thought of you as the the go too leader of the resistance and shall continue too

Seems like yesterday when we we're on the old moto forum playing with bit pim. You were just a youngster. Now that you're older and wiser, time becomes more valuable and you can't spread yourself too thin.

Thanks for making the davlik cache more than just a small piece of insignificant real estate, my brother.

Your friend, Herc.

Fuck you don't abandon your apps

Yea rooting is history. Lot's of fun and I loved your work! Thank You

+Calvin Groß Dude be nice

Thank you for all the hard work, Android the way it is now has a lot to do with what you had done it the early days. Cheers!

I'm very sad to see it end this way. I purchased many of the pro versions of your apps, and hoped they would continue to be developed for years to come.

FlashFire had a huge amount of unfulfilled potential, to name but one.

No app will be as missed as SuperSU, however. Your dedication and hard work of many years should have served as the basis for many more years of active development by the new owners, but CCMT are slowly allowing it to bleed to death. Sadly, there is no rock solid alternative to take its place.

Burn-out is a terrible thing. I don't blame you one bit for making a clean break of it. Thanks for all of your work over the years, and I wish you success in your future ventures.

It was a great job, hard work. Its very sad to hear the eol of whole era...

Wish you a goodluck for your other projects!

Thank you for all amazing things your apps have enabled on Android and allowed us to enjoy using it. I don't know what hardship you have in life that leads to this decision but good luck.

Thank you for all your work. It has been greatly appreciated. Enjoy and have a good one.

k

I am surprised to hear this news, you're work has been an inspiration to us all, both you and your work will be greatly missed, best wishes to you and your endeavors in the years to come :)

Fgbgvg. Ftftuu

It's a sad day to see you go !, Good luck with your direction and I hope we will see you again soon !. Loved your apps and you opened up and taught me a lot about root in your apps !.????

Feels like the end of an era.

plzz don't do this plzz???android was never complete without chainfire and will never be...m I really gonna miss a legend??((((((

R.I.P Chain Fire apps we won't see anymore saad???

This is one of the most worrying farewell around mobile community. We thank you for all the things that you have done. I used SuperSu and FlashFire and it was enough to say this. Best regards!

A courageous step! Best of luck with your new endeavours, and thanks for the quality apps!

i thank you for everything

Thank you for your efforts over the years. Your work have been useful to me since the Windows Mobile days.

good luck on your next venture I always used and loved your apps you were my go to for root if I saw your name I always knew it was QUALITY!

Samsung poisoned the well, a long time ago.

You can't have it both ways.

You can't have, flash/root and still have vendor goodies. The two we're never meant to be compiled together. I'm not sure that everone understands that. Cyanogenmod was a perfect example of the same demise.

I'm here when the frist version of SuperSu released. It's always a fix way back in ~2010 and it's Chainfire's work!

Thanks for the support! Enjoy the break, you deserved it!

It is inevitable, however we might see you again on other junctions. Again, thanks for all the knowledges you share.

All great things come to an end, its been a pleasure though. Hope all goes well to you and yours. Hope to see you back ✌️

Root rip todo tiene su final

As someone who normally is stingy about supporting devs (I live on a missionary budget), I contributed to your amazing work with SU Pro. When I saw "Chainfire" on something, I paid attention. Thank you so much for what you've done for Android... May God bless your journey.

I dont know wht

Pit, but we must acknowledge that most developers give up after 5 years of hard productive work, whatever reason they have or maybe none.

Abandonware is always depressing. It's invariably "I'm taking my ball and going home" rather than just putting it all on github somewhere so someone else can at least have a shot at continuing the work.

thanks for your wonderfull work

Your work will dearly be missed. Thank you for your contributions in the Android community! Personally, I found about you when I had to root my Galaxy S4. Ah, the nostalgia...

Hey chainfire Help me to solve my supersu

Hey chainfire Help me to solve my supersu

Salute.

Probably the best app I paid for! Thank you!

Doc, we couldn't buy you enough beer! Thanks again and again and again Chain baby

youve set a high bar for other developers and im sure you'll do great in your future endeavors. thanks for your android work over the years, specifically android 500 firepaper.

We will miss you dev MAN!

Your apps were always in my app list on all of my android devices for long time. Thank you for the amazing work. All i know about rooting i learnt from your threads back then in the forums. Good luck with your projects and god bless

Wow...it’s the end of an era. Thank you for the work you’ve done, you gave us the necessary tools we needed during the dark ages of Android.

Thank you for everything!

HELP PLEASE.

I bought a ZTE Z836bl. I am trying to root it. I tried Kingo Root and Auto CF both using APK Both failed with the message APP NOT INSTALLED.

I am at a loss. One the google search pages I found about CF had an example which included allowing unknown sources. I did that. It also showed an administrator of Unknown Sources. I have no where to add this. My ZTE is a cheap model with not many features..ANY HELP/ SUGGESTION WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

THANKS

DAN MADAY

Thanks for helping me. I've spent hundreds of dollars buying phones just to learn how to root and install twrp.

I tried to get Chainfire for my ZTE Guardian z836bl. The website did not respond to my model number. Is that a NO? The one click solutions seem to be full of bloatware. Several sites warned against using one click solutions.

Any recommendations??

Hey Dan, I've been there, done that. Some Phones aren't worth Rooting. Fine a Good Phone, ect..LG or Samsung. Android version 4.2.2 International, Unlocked. You can try LG G3 it has lots of support on the Web. I'm using a LG G2 Pro. I love it.

Don't give up Android

thank you for your impressive work, I also don't like what android is becoming because of Google greed, a linux phone is needed more than ever.

one of the only true android hackers hangs it up. Sad Day for all mod enthusiasts

You will figure it out , get back truckin on

thank you for your brilliant root apps for Android. God bless you.
