There's an app that won't work for me on a rooted phone so i tried to disable root in SU but it still doesnt work. My question is, if I full unroot from SU, will it delete anything? Can I just reroot - unroot - reroot - etc... from nexus toolkit without having issue?
I also have xposed installed with gravity and gel. if I unroot, will the changes I've made stick without root?
The only time I actually need root is when i make backups from titanium. Dont flash much and I have xposed setup where I like it so going unroot isnt a big deal. I just want to make sure unrooting and rerooting won't effect my phones setup/files.

You're good, rooting and unrooting won't hurt anything...

well full unroot from SU didn't work. it still thinks I'm rooted. any ideas. btw the game is mlb perfect inning. hoping i dont have to install the stock image and keep my setup. no idea what it could be. I also tried rootcloak from xposed and that didnt work.
Reboot?

no idea what it could be. tried it on another phone. complete reset with only twrp on stock rom and it doesnt work. only thing it could be is that is recognizes that its unlocked phone, twrp or a modified stock rom. #%($&^(

My phone's been rooted ever since i got it and the only reason i was looking into unrooting it is because work email app won't install on a rooted device. i didn't want to return to stock and lock my bootloaders and all that as i really like the rom i'm using, which is Trickdroid 8.1. a lot of searching on the internet and several discussions pointed to using the unroot feature in supersu but i was under the impression that data on the phone would not be lost/deleted. boy was i wrong.
i went ahead to unroot in supersu and it took sometime to remove itself along with superuser app. unrooting seem to have worked as i am now able to install work email app BUT i just noticed all of my data is gone. anyone know what the hell happened?
I know there's not chance for me to get the files back but i'd just like to understand where I went wrong (if not). other than not backing up everything beforehand of course.
Hi, I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 running stock JB 4.1.1 at the moment but I want to root it...again. I did it once before and thought I was going to have to send it in for other reasons but I didn't and now I am on the basic, stock firmware. My question today is, can I effectively root and then if needed, unroot and return to stock firmware WITHOUT losing all of my apps and settings. I know making backups is an option, and I do constantly backup my phone, but isn't there a way out there to unroot WITHOUT losing all of our data, apps, settings, etc.? Thank you for any response and help.

I don't believe so, I think in order for either the rooting or un rooting process, the phone will be wiped either way. Google services of course will save your app download history and some of your settings but will be wiped until you log into Google account. Hope this helps.
If u have supersu as the root application in the settings is a full unroot option. Click on that and reboot your phone and you are now uprooted without wiping any data. If u have superuser app then I don't know if that is there or not. I'm not familiar with superuser.

Can I uninstall Superuser to install Supersu so I can permanently unroot without loosing data?
Yes I'm sure you could. Just make sure that the superuser is completely gone from the /system partition before u uproot with supersu.

So,.... messing about as we do, trying to get an app to work that wont work on rooted device, I installed voodoo to temporarily hide my root and it seemed to work.
but now I cant regain root access. 1: Not sure if voodoo is the issue
2: tried all fixes that I could find on here and nothing working for me
Not really an issue at the mo and I'm sure theres a work around but as a quick fix / quick question
Can I just Flash a new custom rom while I no longer have root access?
I was going to try a different rom anyway. and don't mind losing data, apps etc
just need to know that I can flash without root and not going to get stuck somewhere
Cheers
You'll have to root again then flash.

You can flash everything if you have a Custom recovery Installed eg : CWM or TWRP, Because both has Root enabled by default, even if the Rom doesn't have Root that doesn't mean your recovery doesn't have root, If the rom only doesn't has Root, you Recvoery has.
That means you still can flash everything. (I recommend to use the lastest version if you have a old version)
no custom rom installed
i had rooted my phone but for clearing up internal memory i did a factory reset.
After that i noticed my wifi stopped working and i had sort if partial root(root explorer worked but titanium backup didnt).
In order to correct that i tried to manually update the su binary by replacing the original with the latest one.once i did that i lost root completely.
T_T now i am stuck up with a non root phone without wifi working.
I tried flashing it but that also requires root.
Any help will be appriciated
my phone is spicemi280(stock)
please give a solution

So last night I was using My Backup Pro to back up my files before I tried flashing the new CM for our phone and noticed that I didn't have busybox installed. I installed it and backed the phone up overnight. In the morning I noticed that my WiFi wouldn't turn on and that I couldn't flash anything. Ran root checker and my root is bad now. Anyone else experience any problems with rootbox? That and backing up my stuff are the only things I've done different lately. My phone is rooted with towelroot and bumped. I really don't feel like unrooting and returning back to stock to start the process over again but IDK how to fix the root. Root checker gives these error messages.....
Don't know much about the code, anyone have any suggestions?

What does SuperSU or Superuser state when opened? Have you updated the binary or is that even an option?
Everything was up to date when I checked last night and supersu was working fine. I ended up unrooting and reverting back to stock and starting from scratch.
Hey I want to root my Nexus 5 without unlocking the bootloader since that would wipe all the data and I just had my phone setup. Is there a way?
I am on MMB29Q
try kingroot or another multi platform rooter there are a few.
kingroot
pingpongroot
towelroot.
depends what firmware you are on.
Just one question, is that the only reason why you don't want to unlock the bootloader ?
It doesn't take that much time, and I never had any problems on my Nexus 5 after full wiping
Use towelroot and aftet rooting go to play store and install Bootunlocker for nexus devices. This don' t wipe your data.
And later you can use Flashify to flash twrp recovery, if you want.
I don't think towel root will work on mm ROMs.
Thanks for the help I will surely try .
I don't want to unlock bootloader because that would wipe that data and all the apps and it is tiring job to install every single app again and then even transfer all the music and data back to my phone .
Kingroot.
Towelroot didn't work
I don't think any apk files will root MM. There may be a method via ADB but I've never seen or tried a method to push root to a phone.
Between all the new security updates and the new SELinux policies in MM, I have a hard time believing any apk magic will work.
You can root without unlocking your bootloader, through ADB and with a lot of patience, but to do that you must be running a userdebug build, and nope, stock ROMs are not userdebug builds.
If you're worried about losing your app data, you don't have to be. So long as an app is installed from the Play Store and you have automatic backup enabled, it'll be back right after a reformat. Just make sure to sync everything, just in case.
As for your data, you'll have to pull it out and copy it back after formatting.
Sorry to break it to you, but I know no other way.
