Hello, I have a Verizon SM-P905V that I rooted and I'm now wondering about going back to stock in order to upgrade software.
When I rooted my tablet, I used an app called "Uninstall" to uninstall SDM and Knox and all the other bloatware rather than Titanium Backup and now I cannot restore these (lesson learned!) and if I try going to the "Software Update" tab in my settings it just crashes.
So my question is: If I do a data factory reset will these apps be restored? I don't care if it unroots my device. I'd prefer it be unrooted since I'll probably trade it in here in a couple months.
If it doesn't root however, does anyone know the process for unrooting this device and can link me to the method they used?
Thank you!

I have just bought an unlocked skyrocket and I live in the UK.
I'm very happy with it,
1)It is running 2.3.5 and I can't upgrade it and shows a communication failed error there is an update but it's not available cos the servers are busy I went to device manager and cleared the cache and it still says the same thing. How do I upgrade?
2) What is the best way to remove the AT&T apps
3) what is the best and safest method to root which does a proper unroot later if required?
4)How do remove carrier iq as it is on this device?
5)Is there anyway to remove the AT&T branding?
I would be so happy if an expert could help me
Thank you in advance
This is the method that I used to root. But be careful when you do it. Supposedly this doesn't work with the 2.3.6 update.

After that, I used Root Uninstaller (in the market) to freeze or uninstall apps I didn't want. Another popular app to uninstall bloatware is Titanium Backup.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with putting the device back to stock.
Not sure how to remove Carrier IQ. I think this requires a custom rom (can someone else confirm?).
Hi All,
Did a quick search and couldn't find anything about this.
Basically I've successfully downgraded to ICS and rooted then OTA'd back to current firmware. (I am locked)
I want to factory reset the tab to maintain stablity / remove the junk. However I want to maintain root. I've googled and apparantly FR doesn't loose root.
But I wanted to confirm. Do I need to temp unroot on OTA or just leave it rooted? And can anyone confirm this maintains root?
Regards

I didn't touch a thing and did a factory reset, root was maintained. Just remember to have the OTA backup in place, you can leave it rooted.
Hi,
I rooted my Note Pro 12.2 as I thought that I will use some root apps.
I ended up not using any root apps and now I want to un-root my device
as I cannot update it normally.
Can I unroot the device without wiping all data?
If no, can I update the device manually without wiping all data?

Reflash with ODIN if you have the At&t version

Hi guys.
I've got a phone in to reset form a customer who thinks the device was compromised. I usually work on PCs so wanted to check with you guys.
The phone will of course be getting a factory reset.
However what about checking if the firmware has been compromised. I could install a 3rd party firmware but not sure granting root would be a good idea for this user. I think stock firmware is best but wondering on best way to check its not been tampered with.
Edit Sorry just realised I missed the most important bit off,
Phone is a Galaxy S6 Edge+ running 6.0.1
Which model?
Can you try to reset it with the phones software?
This should be the most safe procedure.
The phone has been reset using the setting menu "Factory reset". Really what I'm wondering is what if the firmware has been compromised

I thought that reflashing the stock firmware with the Samsung app is the best and safest way. This procedure should be the best method
Hi Guys,
i have some questions concerning rooting. I have a stock Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) with T-Mobile branding. I would like to install a Custom ROM because my battery life is so bad but i love this phone (for example because of its water resistance and the fact that my hobby is diving ).
So my plan is:
1. root my device and install a custom Nougat ROM (to change the screen resolution)
2. when the official update is out i want to go back to stock Firmware
3. now my question: Is it possible to receive OTA Updates after getting back to stock firmware?
I know know is set to 0x1 after a root and im going to lose my varranty but thats no problem, i would only like to receive OTA Updates after going back to stock firmware.
Thank you for your help!

Hi!
As long as your device is stock, recovery included, you should receive the ota no problem. So flashing stock firmware and recovery should do the trick. :good:
Don't accept an ota if you do happen to get an update notification, if you are not completely stock. It will fail.
Last resort too, is flashing an updated version manually. If that's possible for your device.
Good luck!
I posted i thought but don't see it i rooted an LG ls675 with king root removed a couple preinstalled apps sprint zone and 2 amazon apps I mistakenly tried ota failed found out this unrooted my phone and tried another ota that failed also running stock installed a root browser titanium bu busy box ect do i need to remove these apps or will i have to do factory reset to get this update running 5.1.1
