because my nexus 5 wrote: "error" (when I install the updates), it's mean that I have still root ?
( I want to go the market that I bought from him my nexus' and tell him to fix the problem,
but if they see in my nexus root, they will not fix the problem)
see the app said that I don't have any root:
so why it's said error?!
Do you want to be stock, up-to-date and unrooted ?
If yes see my previous post
Error is nothing to do with root

It's not complicated and if you think it is, you shouldn't have rooted

you right I am stupid,
but please just answer my question:
i unroot my nexus with an app that call: "ginger unroot" . OK?
why when I install the updates he wrote : error?, its because the app "ginger unroot" did not unroot well,
and becuse that she did not unroot well I see the "error"?
or i see the "error" not becuse the root?

How can I answer you if I haven't been tools the full error message ?
OTA works if you are rooted or not.. OTA generally fails due to modified system files. No idea what you did to your system and you don't tell me the error message
Ginger unroot sounds like it's for. Gingerbread roms..
Pleads return your device to stock.. Then, leave it stock

No idea. I cant answer that because I don't know if the toolkit modified system or what your error is.
You should return your device to full stock.
As said above the best option for you is to return to stock and then install 4.4.4. Make sure to backup everything to your computer. Returning to stock will wipe everything.

Hay guys I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini (GT-I8910N) an I've rooted it, but now I see there is new update coming out an I want to unroot my phone to update it. And I'm interested if any of you guys tried to unroot your phone using SuperSU's permanent unroot, I saw that option, but it just sounds to easy. So if I use that option will I be able to download new update and use NFC again? And will I be able to root my phone again?

the only way to truly unroot your device is to flash the stock firmware back onto it.
the unroot option in superuser or whatever does not remove all traces of root on any phone, even though it may technically be no longer rooted.

Hi,
my phone has been having issues since rooting. if i unroot then downgrade, can i root again? supersu says unroot is permanent- not sure what it means
Unroot on supersu not working on oneplus 2...
stuck in 'please wait...'
i get "uninstalling, please wait..." , and it never completes.
this happens when i try to use: "full unroot, cleanup for permanent unroot" (in settings).
the full unroot is simply not working/stuck, acting like it is uninstalling. i tried a bunch of reboots, and root checker confirms i'm still rooted.
i have already bricked my phone once, previously, trying to unroot (because this feature did not work on my device: oneplus 2, and i got over-zealous trying to unroot).
help! i don't want to brick again trying to unroot.
would like to get updates when 1+ make them available.
no help googling this problem.

if this should be in another forum, can moderator switch my post there?

possible fix...
unticked unknown sources for apps under security, and supersu let me "unroot." i made a number of attempts to unroot and got no results til i did this. when 1+2 gets an update, i will know. root checker says, "Sorry! root access not properly installed...," now.

Root your device using CF-Autoroot.
Install Triangle Away from the play store. Run that to reset your custom binary counter.
Reboot.
Now use the built-in SuperSU to disable SU. Now reboot again.
Settings/About Device/Status should now show "Device status: official".
Note that if you get any OTA update it's very likely to remove root status.
If you need to use root access for anything, use SuperSU to unhide (re-enable) su and you should be fine. The device may change back to "Device status: Custom", but disabling su again will reset it after a reboot.
Well regarding unlocking bootloader stuff and ota updates,
if u have really decided to root your tab then you should say but to sammy stock rom , I mean there are more beautiful roms available with features google hasnt even put in 4.3 yet. My advice , if u really want to root , dont use stock samsun rom wid it. Otherwise I dont see the point in rooting and waiting for ota updates.
Unrooting. Unrooting becomes easier once you have rooted ur device once. Only an addition will be using triangle away to reset the flash counter, boot up wid ur stock rom and flash counter reset, ur device will be in warranty again.
I hope that helped.
I am not thinking about using a custom rom because for that i will have to unlock my bootloader and my warranty goes , because all ways of relocking the bootloader have one dis-advantage - after the process it will show re-locked in the stock recovery !!
So just thinking of rooting at the moment .....

Yes, since you'll lose superuser when the OTA is pushed, so you'll have to go through it all over again if you don't wait.
Hopefully you'll get 4.2.2 soon. Us here in the USA never got 4.1.2 so I know how you feel being forced to wait.

does this method really work? like will the success rate be a 100%? as I am also waiting for the 4.2.2 update that Samsung Philippines will be pushing anytime soon.
one more thing. every time I do OTA updates, do I need to re-root my tab again after the process in order to gain superuser rights again?

Yes bro , this method actually works !! I just rooted my tab last night .
This link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957160 gives a detail description of everything needed for the process !!
And one more thing before you install a OTA update you will have to
un-root , download the update and then re-root the tab if you want it over the air !!(p.s. - you can always flash the firmware from sam mobile if you have root)
But dont worry , with cf auto root you can root your device in 30 secs , and also un-root the device in less than 1 min !!
It's very easy .....

I dont know more about the pro features but i know that to update through OTA updates you need to unroot your device and bring it back to the stock condition (firmware,rom etc. ) . So you have to UNINSTALL superSU .....

Don't get too excited, lockscreen widgets on Samsung ROMs (4.2+) require you to have an unsecure lockscreen, (swipe unlock).

I found the the best method for you and all the people who want to get 4.2.2 ... Just download [ROOT]MOBILE ODIN PRO and then select the firmware you want to flash . after you select the firmware press on the keep root option and then you will get 4.2.2 rooted !!!
And i dont know why but after i did the above process , the device status in about phone shows "STOCK" !!! Just a miracle for my warranty !!

For the record i too got the 4.2.2 firmware . I dont keep a pass on my screen because its sometimes tiring to enter it everytime i want to open my tab. Instead i lock the apps that i dont want people to see.
And yeah i agree samsung has not done much good with the 4.2.2 update , be it the large fonts or the notification bar ... But yeah the increased ram and the new customizations in its system apps and launcher are surely some good reasons to update the tab to 4.2.2 !!

Hello xda forum
I had got my nexus 5 off contract from California, USA and am using it in Delhi, India. I dont know if this fact is causing the problem or not, so thought i'd mention it..
So ..my device wasnt receiving the lollipop ota update so i did the clear google framework app data trick and got the update..
When the system reboots to install the lollipop it shows "error" like after 10-15℅ of completion. This was yesterday. So now i got the ota update without the clearing the data of google framework and the same problem persists. It just shows 'error' and i have to restart the phone by pressing lock and volume up key..
Help. Please.
Thanks in advance
Also it was earloer rooted with towelroot. But i did unroot it with superSu a couple of weeks before ..

Its really very hard to say. Only Sony knows what they are doing. But be assured that you will receive the update and you will receive the update soon.
I reckon at least another month yet if not longer as even the z1 and z ain't been released yet or even all the z2's been updated.

With a rooted phone and a locked bootloader you most likely won't get the option to do OTA updates (directly from the phone). I don't. Still you'll get the notification about a system update available. Unless of bad bricks PC Companion will always install the latest Android version for your phone, overwriting the whole ROM (and thus the rooting). So just start it on your PC and plug the phone. It will tell you what to do. That applies to Lollipop as well as to any potential KK new update.
If the BL is unlocked you may want to lock it back first. For that you need the backup of the TA partition (which can be done only if you rooted the phone before unlocking the BL). Or best of all you can use Flashtool. It also has an option to download the last FTF (ROM) for each phone model (also different by Country, carrier, etc).
Regarding Lollipop our phone will be the last getting it. And Sony with its updates is unbelievably slow. We'll be lucky if we get it in September.

Thank you very much for your help.
But still, I got a bit confused (sorry about that - I didn't get much from your second paragraph).
So what I need to do now is just wait until I get the notification update, then connect the device to pc, and do whatever it tells me, right? Do I have to perform a full unroot or something?

The update installation, which via PC Compnion will be the full ROM, will erase the root. Because it clears and rewrites the system partition, where the rooting files are located. No need to do it in advance since PC Companion is also used to rebuild the phone. The small OTAs instead are incremental updates. If they worked root would most likely be still there after updating.

i don't think that OTA updated work at all. my phone has stock rom with no root and always had to update via PC companion.

I dunno. They worked for mine before I rooted it. They became unavailable only after rooting. I am just getting the notifications, now. Which having a quota on my Internet is a pain in the arse.
I wonder if there is any FTF repository only for the OTA updates? It would be interesting to see if they get installed via Flashtool. That would save bandwidth and time.
Ota will work until you install supersu and update the binaries and kill Sony RIC. That's how I went from jb 4.3 to 18.3.1.C.1.13 kk (checked with root checker app after each ota to confirm still rooted)to get to 18.3.1.C.1.15 I flashed a pre-rooted zip as that update was pc only for some reason.
D2303,18.3.1.C.1.15 kk, deodexed, debloated, rooted, philz touch recovery, bravia engine 2+x-reality+z3 super vivid, viper audio, xposed mods.

So is there a way to make the OTA working again still keeping some rooting? Like I don't know, replace the "su" binary with the old one.
Hello.
Somewhere in my process of rooting my nexus 5 after flashing android 6.0
I must have done a big misstake, It's stuck at loading after I installed SuperSu.
I normal cases i would just sideload in cm or something and make it all over, but now i can't even install nexus 5 drivers on my computer when it's in bootloader
Any ideas what to do?
And no i was so stupid that I didn't make a recovery..
I hope you can help me / MrBerit
Use Nexus Root Toolkit if u have windows, and use Advanced tools to force the flash, if u have Linux u shouldn't need to reinstall the drivers

Try to search for wug's toolkit or skipsoft toolkit for nexus devices here in the forums, what you just need to do is download the firmwar foryour device(you will get a confirmation for that) and then on bootloader jush flash it. There are instructions there and it should be easy enough to navigate around
Oh ffs stop suggesting toolkits to people who clearly don't know what they are doing!
@MrBerit , are you sure its bootlooping after flashing SuperSU? How long did you wait for? What SuperSU version are you flashing?

There are many previous posts which advised that if you install supersu on 6. O it will cause a boot loop. Unless, you have installed before hand the special kernel that allows it

Indeed, it's all over latest pages on SuperSu thread. I figured, since this always happens every time a new major version comes out, and users come in like where's ma r00t access... "Chainfire probably already has a beta going against M", I thought.
But yeah, in short, root needs SuperSU (beta) and kernel support.

I have successfully rooted on 6.0 using HellsGod kernel and SuperSU 2.50, there is also a v2.51 and 2.52 out now that I haven't flashed yet, I still have Android Pay access, I did loose it when I changed dpi, but once I put the stock build.prop back it was fine again, my advice would be to do like I did, root and install twrp, flash XtraSmooth 6.0 ROM, download the factory image from Google and flash the system.img, bootloader, and radio. That will give u the latest non rooted stick image. From there flash SuperSU in twrp and you will be rooted no problem

@MrBerit if you used the toolkit to flash you can use it to root Marshmallow. I used it to root and it went fine. Just ensure that you have the latest updates for the new MRA58K build.
Yes I know toolkits are not the recommended option but it made rooting 6.0 a breeze.
