I upgraded to 2.2 on Aria and I don't like it because I want my root back. I thought it would be fine and I could just root it off of 2.2, but I can't. Is there a way to go back to 2.1?

Sorry, but you should have read some of the many warnings here. At this point in time, there's no going back, once the official ATT 2.2 update is installed.

It's possible there will be a root fix at some point in the future, but I'm not sure it will be high on anyone's priority list.
i've heard that if you install the 2.1 rom, it will replace the unrootable hboot and then you can unrevoke it again and then install cm7. not sure if this is the case though. read around the forums.

attn1 verified in another thread in the General section that trying to use a gold card to downgrade by installing an older 2.1 version RUU was not successful on the Gratia/Aria. So if you have installed the AT&T 2.2 RUU you are stuck on it with no current way to root or downgrade.
Its super mean, and sucks big time..........but I laughed. Just a little.

Well, you COULD, if you have insurance, and hope to get a 2.1 replacement....

Not trying to flame, but if you liked your root and wanted 2.2 why did you just not use Liberated FR008? And there may be a new root, but the whole point of that patch was to upgrade. But mainly remove root.

It is possible to downgrade. Downgrading, however, will not bring your Aria to a rootable state. You can only downgrade the firmware, not HBoot. The previous (older) HBoot is required to root.

no, it will start to smoke and emit huge sparks that will get into your eyes,rendering your g2x useless to you,so i'll take it.

Yes, but not with Superoneclick as it doesn't work with the update from LG. Assuming you have Clockwork Mod Recovery through NVflash, (great instructions http://www.techofweb.com/technology/flashing-cwm-recovery-g2x.html , simply flash a pre-rooted version of this update from xboarder54 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748
1 click nvflash app to install clock work .
download rooted 2.33 rom or nandriod backup and flash
in clock work.
works fine..

trying to restore LG-P999-V10f/--i get--MD5 mismatch while trying to unroot. I already restored to a nandroid running 2.2 can I just run the LG update or must I unroot in order to update baseband? Will I be able to unroot if I update using LG (I have DW model). Help please.
Funny thing is I have been with Android since the G1. I have yet to root any of my android phones. I know, I'm a noob. I'm trying to learn how to root my G2x recently but want to make sure I find something solid so my phone will work 100% or close to that. Now that we have GB, I would assume the devs are updating their ROMs so I'm reading up to see what's the new or hot ROM for the G2x. If anyone can point me in the right direction or have some time to school this noob - I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
I need help. I have a rooted ATT One x running 1.85 stock rom. I debranded using JSLEnterprises method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634171 and have lost the ATT software update button in settings. How can I upgrade to the latest update without losing all my data? Any help is appreciated.

Don't really care if I lose root as I really didn't use it for anything other than removing the att files.

here's what I suggest since you debloated. Your bootloader needs to be unlocked and you need to have a custom recovery like twrp installed.
Once you have that taken care of, flash the rooted 2.20 ROM posted by scrosler.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812459
this way you get all of the features of the OTA except the Radio, but that can be flashed separately.
You also retain root, and keep the ability to flash kernels and radios from recovery in the future.

I'll give that a go. Thanks for the quick replies. Will I lose any data by doing this though?
If your bootloader is locked unlocking will wipe the phone. Get titanium back up to back up your apps and stuff

You can also go to App Drawer>Downloads and delete the download.
Is there an app I can disable/freeze to stop all automatic messages/downloads pertaining to all OTA updates? I'm tired of having to press cancel every 5 min.

I don't know if you answered this already, but I found the solutions over at this thread:
wantabe said:
It's a little late for this probably but for future reference if you are rooted and want to stop receiving OTA updates remove/rename/delete HtcOMADM_ATT.apk and HtcOMADM_ATT.odex from system/apps, wipe cache and dalvik. If you want to remove "AT&T software update" from the "Settings" then remove HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_ATT.apk and HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_ATT.odex from system/apps, wipe cache and dalvik.

Hi everyone,
I know I am going to sound very annoying but I have googled various threads for hours and I still have not come close to an answer, so please be easy on me. I am a total noob!
So basically, Long story short, I bought this Moto G 2015 (4th Gen - Xt1072 the 5inch screen one) earlier this year, and it has been very slow ever since! So now, I am getting notifications that I cant update to 5.1!
The issue is, my phone is rooted, and I would like it to remain rooted! So, I am assuming i will not be able to install the update file.
The real question I have is, how do I go about this? How do i update to 5.1 (22.46.12.en.GB) without losing my root? I am happy with backing it all up on Titanium, and then updating but I don't know how to do it. Do I have to download the new android on my laptop and then re-install it or something? All this technical talk is literally racking my brain!
I know the solution is probably simple so I would really appreciate if someone can give me a simple answer!
Thanks so much

U can flash cm12.1 or can update your device then just root it back.
I doubt its a fourth gen, when the latest is 3rd.
Why can't you unroot, update, then reroot?

You can follow this link for a tool to restore back to stock firmware. This will wipe your phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...dows-tool-moto-g-2015-xt1072-restore-t3124915
Then update after that and root again.
I don't know much about removing root, I would look up how you did it then search for removing it. What did you use? Supersu?
