Hey guys,
To get back some lost stock apps after root, you can use this link from the HTC One forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39400584&postcount=1
Tried it; works.

Hello, forgive me if I posted in the wrong area. I'm new to the forum. I have a Motorola Bravo that I rooted using z4 while running 2.1. ATT released an update for the Bravo to 2.2 Froyo and I installed it thinking nothing about it. Now I seem to have superuser installed even when I do a factory reset. I've also lost root access. Please help. Would like to revert back to the 2.2 without su and start from scratch.
I got it. I just re rooted the phone and then unrooted it.
what did you use to root? z4 isn't working for me anymore.
How can I bring my Droid X2 from Verizon back to how it was when I got it from the store??
I rooted my phone using MotorolaOneClickRoot.exe "pete's motorolla tools"
I removed bookmarks and I removed two or three verizon stock apk like Blockbuster and Slacker. Also allowed super user permission for apps like barnicle wifi tether and a screenshot program. I have done nothing else.
I recently got the request to upgrade to 1.3.380.MB870.Verizon.en.US but I can not upgrade.
Attempt #1
I factory reset the hard way. Hold power plus volume down... The phone boots back up and I still have Superuser icon showing but everything else is different. I realized at that time I would have to unroot but I could not remember which program I used to root my phone.
Attempt #2
I ended up installing gingerbreak and used the unroot uption on that program to unroot my phone. It said successful. I tried to install the update and it failed. I factory reset the phone and it failed. IDK why but I attempted to root the phone again using gingerbreak after that... but gingerbreak would not root my phone again, it just sat there doing nothing for an hour and 30 minutes.
Attempt #2
I searched more and found the program I originally used. I loaded it up and clicked the unroot option. It unrooted my phone sucessfully. I attempted to upgrade and it failed again!
Attempt #3
I ran the temporary root that came with MotorolaOneClickRoot.exe . Thinking maybe gingerbreak messed up some files and I needed to restore them for the unroot to work properly. The temporary root was not what I had used the first time so I'm thinking maybe I should have done the permanant root... I then unrooted the phone again. After that, I factory reset again and attempted to upgrade the phone. Still fails.
I havn't removed or modified any sytem folders. I simply deleted bookmarks and Blockbuster and other useless stock apps. I've unrooted and factory reset but blockbuster and the stock applications never come back...
I can't upgrade my phone and I need some help. I can't remember what came with the phone by default so IDK how to manually set it back. Please, how can I resolve this? How can I bring my phone back to how it was when I got it from the store??
I want that ugrade.
Notherwise fully aware if we have a forum for your device but if we do....head in over to that place and look fir the "stock ROM" for your device.
First thing is first....you need ti remove root...not familiar with device so don't know is stock Rom will restore root.
Another option is to go to the first thread on this forum and ask Samuel.....he might be able to help.
Cheers and good luck mate
I don't want to restore the root. Honestly I never really used the super user features for anything other than screenshots.
I have no roms or anything. This is just 2.3.3 with the root enabled. I did lurk around and find a link to VRZ_MB870_DTN-14.8.sbf but I'm not sure if that is what I need to do? Will an SBF restore my phone and applications so I can upgrade again?
Update to my previous post. I searched around like I should have in the first place.
I used RSDLite 5.3 to flash my phone to VRZ_MB870_DTN-14.8.sbf. Which was android 2.2.2
I was then able to update the phone to version 2.3.3 and then finally 2.3.4 official OSA over wifi.
Alcatel One Touch Fierce - Stock Rom Anyone?
Anyone have a stock rom or can pull one for me? Carrier T-Mobile. I forgot to back mine up when I rooted.
I rooted and had an update come which installed and screwed up everything. I hard reset and I cannot get past the setup screen. I did however find some workaround and can access the file browser, music player and other apps via using googles built in search and selecting apps or phone at the bottom then searching for extensions or names etc. Was able to get to the camera too. Other than that the phone is useless unless I can get a stock rom and update.
Hi Guys
I have an old nexus 5 which I've decided to go back to after the zte i bought to replace it when the battery died became to buggy and unreliable.
I rooted the phone when i first got it so I could copy over some apps from my old HTC (mostly my save game from Drag racing)
I never used any custom recovery or Roms on the phone & I lost root when i did the OTA update to marshmallow.
I wasnt hugely botheered by this and never re-rooted the phone.
Yesterday I tried to install Android Pay which wont let me set it up because the phone is rooted.
Ive relocked the bootloader but am still unable to use androoid pay.
I've had a look around for unrooting advice on here most of which discuss reflashing the stock firmware.
As the phone is already stock is there a way i can unroot without having to wipe the phone?
Thanks
Grant
Two Questions - Regarding "SecurityLogAgent" / returning to Stock (non-root)
Been awhile since i have messed around with the Samsung S7, got bored over the weekend and proceeded to root my phone. Currently on newest Firmware (android 8.0 (Oreo). Went ahead and installed TB, started to uninstalled bloatware and unessary services. Been enjoying that battery life
Questions :
I remember dealing with this before but do i need to worry about "SecurityLogAgent" like before? I remember that after a week or so, the phone will continue to bootloop after rooting it. Here is a post that i wrote about it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...id-unautorized-actions-detected-root-t3437502
Is there a way to return to non-root without having to flash the phone back to factory settings? Say i get my phone to where i want it, is there a way to take off root and continue to use the phone with all the bloatware / services gone.
Thanks in advance.
