So basically my dad got this phone in the USA, its a T-Mobile version.
Thing is he sent it to a mobile shop and they "unlocked" and I can tell its rooted (superSU something)
But basically when I try to update it to Android 6.0 it tells me that Software status is modified and thats all ok cause I read that you cant update your software when you update. SO, basically, I'm wondering how can I update it when rooted and if thats not possible, can I unroot it somehow, update and have it still remain unlocked?
Thanks in advance.

Dear XDA-developers and forum users,
I've got a phone, a branded Htc One S from T-Mobile. Yesterday, some websites spread the info that there was a new update for this phone; an update to android 4.1. I defintely wanted this update so I went through my phone to Settings > Info > updater. Despite, no update was available. So I began googling for this issue and there was somebody who said that I have to unlock my Htc One S.
So I began unlocking my phone. My unlock went succesfull (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427). After the unlock I tried to check for the update again. Still no update available. After asking an old friend of mine who knows a lot of rooting and unlocking, he said I'd better lock the device again. So I changed my mind to re-lock my htc one s.
So my question is, how can I re-lock my device? I hope that somebody is able to help me out with this.
As you have noticed im a total noob at rooting and unlocking etc.
Thanks in advance,

Hello friends,
I have bought a Nexus 5 with the 5.0 lollipo version and got the update message for 5.1 yesterday. I downloaded and started the update and it gave me an error. While checking it it says that my phone is Rooted? And thats a very bad thing. I want to set it to factory default and unroot it then update to newest version.
Please can anyone tell me how to remove all the root and set it to default normal original android version then update legally?
I would appreciate if someone would help me and suggest me something.
I know its not good to suggest me custom android versions for my nexus but how can i know whichones posted here custom ones are good and which not?
Im just a newbie and would need help if possible to explain me about it.
Thank you very much

If your phone is rooted and you have the SuperSU app, you can un-root from within the app. If you don't have the app you can get it from Google Play.
Thanks guys,
Can anyone suggest me whichone of the custom roms will be good for me and stable?
Why update with 5.1 ota if you're going to install a custom ROM?
So just a quick simple question that a lot of you already probably know. I know that running a OTA takes away root, but does it lock the bootloader too?
I tried searching but was unable to find the answer in the scenario of running an OTA with NOT rooted but UNlocked bootloader. I know an OTA does not lock the bootloader on a Nexus device from my own experience with Nexus's. However my question is mainly for Samsung, HTC, LG, and Motorola devices if I plan to root one of them in the future.

I have rooted mine and put a custom rom with 4.4.2, but i'm getting notified that there is an update by LG. Does anyone know what version this update is for, as I can't find any info on it anywhere, and if it's just going to put me back on stock 4.4.2 there's no point me doing it.
Thanks

Greetings and welcome to xda, I don't think its possible to install the update while rooted but to fully unroot you have have to flash the stock firmware again first. If you ask your question here
