[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.

Sorry for my bad English ... i wrote "if you flash stock firmware again, it will be unrooted completely"
I wanted to say that "whenever you flash stock firmware, your phone will be unrooted"

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.

once bitten, twice shy...
if this should be in another forum, can moderator switch my post there?
sc

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.

New OTA Update... Is this Lollipop?

After lunch, I was greeted with the following message on my G2.
I'm not in a position to where I can run this now. Has anyone else gotten this? Is it Lollipop?

Nope. Its D80120e-D80120g_update.

Is there any good updates, or is it just optimizing for T-mobile?

I semi bricked my d 801 had to flash the 20e kdz saw an update available and thought the same thing, is this lollipop? Took the ota realized it wasnt, try to reroot using towel root and install recovery with autorec and it was a no go had to use lg flash tool again to go back 20e just to root
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk

Now I cannot get my phone to update to 20g it said 20e is up to date. Why?

So if you're STOCK but rooted with custom recovery and you take this update is it going to soft brick the device or will it just unroot you and be okay?

It will soft brick if you do OTA via phone with 3rd party recovery, it will unroot you if you do it via the pc lg suite
Software, from my past experiences.
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Premium HD app

If you bricked your phone trying to apply this, the fix is simple if you have TWRP or some recovery that gives you adb shell access.
Just run the following. It will clear out the OTA.
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc

Please help
Hey, im definetly new to this but a couple months ago my friend convinced me to root my phone. I used towelroot and I got rooted.
I also got this update and I thought it would be fine to get it. It messed my root up. I factory reset my phone because I couldnt connect to a seperate gmail and play store
I really need help but I really dont know anything about TWRP and recovery stuff , all I had was towelroot, root checker, super su, and freedom. My friend obviously didnt tell me to get anything else.
I cant connect my gmail on startup or anything else, I tried to change a etc/hosts file but I need root which I dont have. If anyone can help please do. I dont have data and my phone is locked other than I can get on wifi and I WAS able to download apps from play store... :crying::crying::crying::crying:

I don't have a link but you can Google stump root, it worked for me to re-root.

Here's the info about the update

It seems Lollipop should be close, someone posted a link to the 5.0.2 open source from LG in another thread.

What's an RCT? I'm assuming an app? Did you follow my guide to go back to stock or did you just unroot? To fully unroot you must flash back to stock.

LG RCT is in the hidden menu and tells whether your phone has been rooted or is rooted. You get to it by typing a code into the dialer.

Ohh okay. Never used it. But unless you used the back to stock method using lg flash tool it'll probably still say it's rooted.

Yep, have to flash back to stock with Flash Tool to clear it. Fwiw, it also shows if busybox had been installed.

Marshmallow!

With the update coming sometime in the near future, what does that mean for us with rooted phones? More specifically, us losers who are on the Puerto Rican rom.
I imagine if we update we lose root, but is there any way we can get back on the American AT&T H810 after the update comes out?

I just got the phone from Craig's list. When I got home and I did more research I realized I got screwed. They sold me the PR version of the phone. At least I got it for 280 unlocked and no scratches almost new.

Yikes sorry! Do you have the green spot issue in the camera? It's a decent rom save for that issue. Allows you to get rid of everything (bloatware). I've been dying to add xposed, but without being able to back anything up makes it a little iffy. AT&T seems to be the worst when it comes to allowing their devices to be unlocked.

If LG releases a KDZ for ATT you can. However, even those of us who are on att firmware can't take OTA updates after rooting (even if flashing an unrooted system img). LGs root checker tool flags the system on the /persist partition

This means that you will have to UN-Root your phone. Download & install the update. Put your phone into download mode. DD if=OS of=Backup.img
Then root that backup (Or get it from someone who posted it on an XDA Root site)
Once it is rooted, then DD if=RootedOS of=OS (Disk dump it back to the phone)
Now you have a rooted Marshmellow OS on your phone.

Please also know, once you root, you will NOT be able to take any future OTA Updates. Even if you flash back your unrooted System.img.
LG's Root Checker Tool prevents this. You can read more about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-...lysis-t3229175
UNLESS They Release a KDZ.

this is false. i was rooted on 10g, i unrooted and flashed stock system.img and took the update to 10o just fine.
you need to do a few things to prepare first
1) unfreeze any apps you may have frozen with debloater/titanium/greenify/etc
2) disable and uninstall any xposed modules
3) uninstall xposed (if you have it)
4) uninstall flashfire (if you have it)
5) uninstall any root apps (aside from supersu)
6) open supersu, uncheck "enable superuser" and then select full unroot, than reboot
7) download and flash the stock system.img for whatever firmware you are currently rooted on
8) now your unrooted and you may update via ota
this thread will help for flashing, just make sure you use the stock version of your current firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586

easily done, check my post above. after you take the ota to 10o you will just need to root that basically the same way you did with 10g

I completed those steps, however right at 4% still getting error 0x1123004.
I re-rooted just to make sure everything was unfrozen etc, uninstalled everything, then flashed unrooted image back, still giving the error.
Guess i'll have to wait for another method.

How to update rooted android phone?

Hi all,
want to know how to updated rooted android phone as OTA doesn't work for root. Have been told KIES will brick the phone.

tnx

If you want the official update, just flash the new system image, and then re-root.

But do I have to unroot first and is there any risk of brick?

Not a huge risk of getting bricked, this is a pretty simple process. But just in case, you should back up all of your stuff. You do not have to un-root before re-flashing, just delete and clear everything from fastboot. If you are on a Nexus, this article should help you: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-install-android-factory-image/ Good luck.

Its Cannot Update After Root....

PS by just "delete and clear everything from fastboot" do you mean data and cache wipe from download mode?

Just take a backup of your present system
If you are new to rooting most probably you will make some mistakes so having a back up always helps and always knowing where the backup is stored
Just be careful and flash the new image after backing up

PS what options should I tick in ODIN when flashing 6.0.1 or 5.1.1 over 5.0.1? As I am getting different answers and it's a bit confusing.

I have no idea...
Sent from my Moto E using Tapatalk

So, I falshed the 6.0.1 on my note 4, but now there is a new built from 25th May. As I already rooted the phone, I would like to know whether I should unroot first, or I can just straight flash that new built with ODIN. If I do flash straight away, will I loose root or any data?

WOW. so many replies.
