i had rooted my device and my superuser application is very old version.now without updating it, if i open any application which require root access it force closes.so i have to update it every time i do a factory reset which is annoying.so can i integrate the superuser update to rom by using titanium backup without bricking or any other problems.i also want to flash cwm recovery to use custom roms. i hope that there will be no problems if i integrate the update.pls help me.

Hi, i flashed stock rom to OpenOptimus and now superuser and other root apps are crashing. Before titanium backup and other stuff worked. How is it possible to lost root access? iam using P500
Of course, the stock rom isn't rooted.
Root access is per ROM.
Going back to a not rooted rom, you lost superuser access and thus all apps requiring it crash.
But you don't have to root your phone completely new. Just flash a rooted ROM and everything would work again ;-)

I Had just rooted my GTAB2 and it'd been two days. And suddenly the news came out that Official JB 4.2.2 has been released for the GT-P3100
So i Opted for unrooting and getting back my Official status but it didnt work
But then i found this trick
1.Install Triangle away
2.Have a cf-autorooted tab (GT-P3100)(may work on other models)
3.First Reset the flash counter using Traingle Away.
4.Enable the tracker option and reboot.
5.Then boot into Stockrecovery. (CWM Recovery or any other recovery won't do the trick. U can reinstall it after the OTA.)
6.Wipe Data/Factory reset.
7.Wipe Cache.
8.Wipe Dalvik Cache.
9.Reboot.
10.Voila!!! You have a device with Official Status with ROOT and Can recieve OTA.
May or May NOT WORK, but it did work for me
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS ONLY APPLICABLE IF YOU ARE NOT USING A CUSTOM ROM AND USING THE OFFICIAL STOCK WITH JUST ROOT.
accepting the ota update will most likely unroot the device. the new firmware will also probably be patched so unless you are sure that a root exploit exists for the new firmware, than perhaps it is best to wait for the odin flashable version from sammobile and use mobile odin pro to flash. mobile odin pro has an option called everoot which will root the rom. this is probably easier to do than trying to root a new firmware with a patched kernel.

Also if we can't use any custom recovery .
, then what's the need to root the device?
no one is saying that you cannot use custom recovery. you can use whatever you please custom kernel ,recovery,rom, whatever you choose is your choice.My point is that not everyone root6s thier phone so they can flash a custom rom. In my case I use official roms all the time. official kernel all the time. official recovery all the time. my phone has official status aLL THE TIME.
so why root?
if not to flash aosp roms and cwm or twrp orthe multitude of mods and roms? yes Ive been there and done that. ive overclocked and undervolted and ran aokp miui pa u name it. I have never found a rom that was 100 percent working and compatible for any phone ever. in fact most of the time i came across major bugs that made most roms unusable as a daily driver. stability is hard to find in aosp land . the manufacturers do not release sources. so cameras and fingerprint scanners and mhl and other features either are barely functional or sometimes will never work.
I ROOT BECAUSE I CAN CUSTOMIZE THE STOCK FIRMWARE THAT I USE. without root i cant use greenify ton hibernate my apps. without root i cant freeze apps in sd maid or tibu or rom toolbox pro. Root allows me to change my bootanimations . byn 8using root explorer. root allows me to edit my build prop. root allows me to zipalign my apps. and debloat them. root improves my user experience . it allows me to enjoy the stability and long battery life and full functionality if stock roms without having to use a stripped gown vanilla android rom. been there and was not impressed. but to each his own.
RAZR Maxx OTA .165. I rooted then install SS 3.65 and Titanium backup. My phone was slowing down so I decided to wipe using SS and recover to factory software. I now cannot figure out how to reroot so I can use Titanium to restore files. How do gain root back?
Also can you suggest a ROM for other slots...I was trying to install Liquid Smooth...but I didn't know if I had to load g-apps before or after ROM is installed.
Thanks Ken
If this was already answered in another thread please link me.
So, i have a Moto G Dual-SIM Retail on 4.4.2 and i've been noticing some minor bugs, but i think the OTA updates would be able to solve it for me. But on the other hand, my device is rooted and i have quite a lot of things (XPosed Modules and etc) on it, as well as a custom recovery (I think it is CWM). How do i update, only gotta restore stock recovery and update normally via OTA? No need to reset anything? Root will remain along with my Xposed Modules?
Thanks in advance.
You need stock recovery (some have reported that philz recovery also works) and stock kernel with stock modules. Root remains. You just need to reinstall xposed framework from installer. Modules remain.
Quick way is flash 4.4.3 vesion for Bazil utmsds ( for dual sim).

Where can i get the stock recovery and how to flash it? Currently using PhilZ but it doesn't let me do the OTA update.
And there's a thread on this section that shows how to restore stock firmware, but i'm already running it and would not wan't to wipe out the phone or anything just to update.
Thanks anyway guys!
PS: Now that i tried this without success, phone goes on rebooting to Philz Recovery after a while in attempt to update (and fails everytime of course)
EDIT again: Done it by getting recovery.img from stock firmware and flashing via fastboot (Android SDK), but now getting error while phone tries to update and when it boots get "update unsuccessful" warning.
Because u use Xposed and some module. Best way u should use Titanium Backup, backup all you apps,after that,use Root Explore ,copy whole sdcard to yr PC, flash stock 4.4.3,root and copy back all detail to sdcard, use Titan backup all apps lost and all data. Done. If not ,u still have to unroot,uninstall Xposed with all module, i mean must do yr phone like stock rom,and update it.

I have Indian moto g 16 GB Android 4.4.4 I have a few questions
1. I just want to root it without any custom recovery or rom. Only to try apps which require root. I am not interested in custom roms, happy with stock rom. I found Modaco's method for it. But many users did not find it working. Is there any other SIMPLE AND STABLE method for it without messing up with stock rom and recovery?
2. If I successfully root it without custom recovery what will be steps to unroot it and revert it back to stock 4.4.4 so that I could receive future OTA. (i had rooted my HTC one x with custom recovery so I know about unlocking bootloader). Will this process include flashing stock rom as there is already stock rom in phone
3. Is is necessary to download stock firmware if someone decide to revert back from rooted phone to stock. I mean not everyone has fast Internet connection to download those big 400-500 mb . Zip files. I read somewhere that we can backup the entire rom after rooting. So why not flash that backed up rom for reverting process. Why need to download..and For backing up the stock rom do we need to root with custom recovery or the Modaco's method (stock recovery root) will work.
You may find my third question stupid but I am not much into this stuff.
Please answer my all questions whether it is yes or no. You need not to provide detailed descriptions but just clear my confusion. I couldn't find these type of questions anywhere else on Internet. So may be useful for other users too. Thanx

Hey...yes you can root it but doing so requires an unlocked bootloader(which wipes all data on the phone..so backup)
To revert root you'll need stock recovery(since you say you don't want a custom recovery, skip flashing the stock recovery) and untouched stock ROM...
you can either download a stock fresh stock ROM[recommended]
Or
You can revert all root changes you did to the ROM(Xposed, root,busybox, e.t.c.)
Cheers mate
thanx for replying..
Ok reverting will be enough? I thought stock rom is no more Pure after we root it either by stock recovery or custom recovery. And if i choose the reverting method, how much total apps will i have to delete/uninstall?

You'll will have to remove all root adjustments you made...if you can't remember them all, it's best to flash a new zip...but in my case it was only Xposed and root so I uninstalled Xposed within the app, then went to supersu to revert root.
Good luck

Thanx sir, Good Day
1. Try Paul O´Brien´s (that guy from Modaco) method. I rooted my Moto G with stock 4.4.4 like a month ago. No need to mess with the recovery, easy and simple.
2. There is an option in SuperSU that deletes all SU binaries from the phone. It is not needed to update though. You can update with SU installed, unless you modified any system files that the OTA wants to patch.
3. No, as mentioned in 2. Just unroot, uninstall xposed and you are done.
