How to unroot my TF without loosing data? I've seen a couple ways to unroot, but both say to wipe data. Is there a way to restore without wiping data? I'd like to get the latest update.
wrong forum. Closing and moving to the correct one.

For some reason I find mixed answers to this simple question:
I have CWMv4.0.1.4, I rooted with Ace Hack Kit months ago. I am currently running 2.3.3. I would like to update to a ROM with 2.3.5, is there any way to do this without data loss?
Some people seem to say if you use CWM update from SD card option, you don't lose data, other people emphatically answer YES YOU ALWAYS LOSE DATA ALWAYS. Which is it?
Thanks

The sdcard data will remain intact...the phone data can be kept but it is always best to do a full wipe to avoid bootloops or malfunctioning.
Just make a backup of your apps with titanium backup and restore it afterwards...also make a nandroid backup of your current rom just in case...
I also use SMS Backup+ to back up all my text messages to my Gmail account to be restored after I change ROMs.

Maybe I am derping hard, but here is my problem. Having finally moved to an S4, I decided to clean up my One S and give it to my brother - but I wanted to get my app data out it first (settings, mostly). But I can't run TitaniumBackup until I root it. And to root it, it looks like I need to unlock my bootloader. And unlocking the bootloader will wipe my data (?).
So I can't backup my data until I... wipe my data? Which step am I getting wrong?
My Maxx is rooted on 4.4, I am going to get rid of the phone and want to wipe the phone via Settings > Backup and Reset > Factory data reset.
This may be a dumb question, but I thought I read somewhere with our unique root method, doing this will cause the phone to loose root without the ability to get it back without unlocking the bootloader.
Does anyone have experience with this? I am preparing to sell this phone and want to make sure I get rid of all the data before I do.

You will not lose root if you wipe data. Even if it deleted your supersu app all you'd need to do is download it from the play store.
version-6.0.1
is there anyway possible to unroot my phone without loosing any data?
i can't even install APK's and i am confused whether google drive is backing up my new data or not.
I am on Android 12 can I downgrade without losing data? For some reason my internal memory is not showing but it does show that its half way full is it possible?

It's already if you have this problem you have to factory reset your phone so there is no way to downgrade without losing data
I would think you should be able to flash the downgraded rom you are looking manually with TWRP and keep your data. Flash it to your inactive slot and switch slot (optional), that way you can switch back if something goes wrong. And backup your data just in case.
