I would use supersu to do a full unroot. Update then re root, but thats me. You should be able to as long as you dont have a custom recovery but root would be removed during the update so you might as well just go the supersu route.

I will certainly do that! I'm pretty new to rooting, so I apologize if this is a dumb question: Is there anything else I need to do before I unroot with superSU?
Thanks again for your time!

Nope download and install it and then use the unroot feature. Its pretty straight forward. No worries either we all have to start somewhere.

[Q] SuperSU Permanent Unroot

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.

[Q] Verizon m8 java card s-off and root question

I just purchased a Java card s-off from the HTC modzone, and I'm wondering if the weaksauce root that is out will work as a permanent root once my phone is s-off? Or will I have a s-off device and have to wait for a new permanent root method?
Thanks

+1 Can we use the recovery for the other variants or we just now have S-Off? Thanks
I guess this should be moved to Q&A
You might be able to use a recovery from the sprint variant, but I'm not sure.
What about root? Is it permanent?

If you do it from recovery, yes.
Once you are s-off, you don't need weaksauce anymore.
Just flash su through a custom recovery like you would normally do when rooting an android device.

Not that there's a custom recovery for the VZW M8 yet...
What if I don't want custom recovery? I come from a long line of Motorola devices, I'm use to just rooting and I'm done. I don't need/want custom roms, just want full root.

this thread should answer most of your general java card questions. ill bring it over here as well in the next couple days since sonic has a new card

Is HTC ModSource Sonic? I would assume so given the CO address. Might have to send my phone to him
My question is, how much support for custom ROM's and kernel's are going to be around with such a limited number of people being able to do this?
support thread is live
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704126
i cant speak for sonic,but in the past he has been willing to do a couple dev phones for free. i wouldnt worry too much about support... either a software exploit will be found,or more folks will get tired of waiting and use his service. either way,there will eventually be support.
i have used his service as well. there is no disasembly of your shiny new phone,and he is trustworthy individual. as long as you also pay for enuff insurance youve nothing to lose but a few days away from your new baby
I already miss mine as I sent it out today... lol
Sending mine out tomorrow. :laugh:

[Q] ROOT for Vodafone Smart Tab 4?

Hey guys, i own a Vodafone Smart Tab 4, and google gives no awnser to my question: how do i root it? It would be awesome If anybody can help me.
- Nico
If you are on 4.2.2 then you can use framaroot (Choose barahir option if I remember correctly)
If you have updated to the latest update I am unsure what will root. I am still trying. Towel root does not work, I have tried changing the parameters but no luck yet.

Framaroot will not remove the stock firmware, just use it to root and you will still be on stock.

I know that, but from what I have read, after the root You might have update problem, so it is best to have the stock image just in case I will have to flash it.

No problem at all. On one of my devices I had rooted it and still updated to 4.4.4 without a hassle. However, I could not root it on that FW yet.

[Q] Question about root on 05Q

Is rooting the OPO on 4.4.4 05Q the same as rooting it on 4.4.4 44S? thanks a lot guys. I couldn't find any answer on this anywhere else considering this update is fairly new
Yes. It's the same no matter what firmware version you're on.

...and you just need to update SuperSU app in order to maintain 05Q rooted (if previous version was, of course...)
This is odd. I was previously Unlocked, and Rooted, with SuperSU 2.37. After OTA update to 05Q, my Root is gone. No SuperSU app in my installed program list.
Okay, so I go look for the latest, find that it's now at 2.46, download, reboot, flash (no errors), reboot, and i'm back into my phone. But: Still no SuperSU in my apps list, and I'm getting warnings from XPrivacy that it's not running. Does anyone recognize these symptoms? Am I still rooted or not?
thanks guys so can i use any 4.4.4 root toolkit?
i guess you can, unfortunately i'm not skilled in android things but as timmaaa said nothing changed between 44S and 05Q so your toolkit should work if you root your phone for first time. Take a little time to install custom twrp recovery and make a nandroid backup first...just in case of...

Don't use a toolkit, they're bad news. They cause more problems than they're worth, plus they allow you to do things to your device without actually knowing what's going on, which is bypassing some very crucial learning and knowledge.
This phone is very easy to unlock and root. Very easy. Just go to my guide thread here:

930A ATT S7 Snapdragon Xposed framework

Hey guys, so I just found out about this site and am a super noob but managed to Root my ATT S7 last night. I have been trying to install the Xposed framework but it looks like I cant get a custom recovery program onto my S7. Does anyone know how to get TWRP or CWM or any custom recovery onto the 930A? Or for that matter, Xposed install without a custom recovery?

Sure, I'll start from the beginning in case any other new people are wondering.
Basically, back up your files and restore your phone to factory so the root goes smoother.
Then proceed to this thread for the root. Oh yeah, install adb if you don't have it. They dont mention it and assume you know what it is, which noobs like me don't.
After a clean root, install Flashfire (you may need to disable samsung updates and reset the phones clock back to 2012 or something if Flashfire doesn't want to start). I used 0.31, maybe the newest will work? Easy to find in google.
On page 8 of the Root thread, there is a dropbox link to the Xposed apk and zip (Here). Move them to your phone and install the apk, then use Flashfire to boot the zip.
I think that's pretty much it, Xposed should be running after the Flashfire reboot (which can take a long time as it will Optimize apps).
psouza4 has an awesome thread on what to do after Root and Xposed to make the phone run smoother.
If you do something wrong and absolutely can't fix it, see here for re-flashing back to stock.
Hope this helps someone, took me about 2 days to search all of this out. The AT&T S7 is such a pain in the ass with it's locked bootloader, but this place is > AT&T!
