Hi
Need to encrypt 5.1.1 phone- though rooted.
Can I use the temporary unroot (disabling superuser) in SuperSU??
(I have heard I may need to reroot through custom recovery-but my phone model has no known custom recovery).
Anyone use this method, or know someone, or try to figure it out? Thank you...

Hi guys,
I hope somebody can help me out. I have a G2 on stock 4.4.3 kitkat D80020y. I was rooted with stumproot but still on stock recovery. Then I heard the lollipop OTA coming out and in trying to prepare for it I "unrooted" the phone by choosing permanent unroot in Supersu app. Following that when I checked for OTA and it wasn't showing up, I realised it won't show up as I was on T mobile.
So, I thought that's easy, let me just root again with stump root and manually install it. But the problem is Stumproot is now unable to root my phone!
What's the easiest thing to do from here? Should I just borrow an AT&T Sim from a friend and try updating it that way? Will that cause any problems? Or should I try rooting my phone by another method and do the manual method then?
Sorry for the long post

Thanks for your reply. I did see that thread but the point is how do I root D80020y kitkat if stumproot is not working?

Yup tried that too. Not working. Guess will borrow ATT Sim from a friend and try upgrading that way. Hope that doesn't cause any issues.
Hi everyone,
i have been searching for 2 weeks how to root this phone, but no luck yet. I am saying no luck for a proper way to do it , because you can do it with the avant method, or by using the CF method which uses the SM-G386T firmware, and for reading lots of forums, i know it works, but the problem is if i ever want to update later, i would not be able to do so. I already have the firmware for my phone, G386WVLU1ANJ1, running android 4.4.2 KITKAT, and i have extracted the recovery.img from the firmware file. I am searching how to unlock the bootloader so i can apply whatever rooting method i want. Since i am new to this, i need some information. If i ever want to use the CF-Auto-Root method using the SM-G368T model, can i go back to stock phone whenever needed by flashing recovery image from the SM-G386W ?. If not, is there any other method i can use, preferably one that doesn't trip my KNOX flag to 0x01. Until now i have tried 2 methods, Towelroot and Z4root, which didn't work at all. The main reason i want to root is i want to get rid of the bloatware installed by default on my phone and gain control of my phone without any restrictions, and customizing it.
Please need help.
Thank you very much
P.S: can anyone recommend some reading about rooting android phones?

I also own one of these phones and would like to root the phone to get rid of bloat ware and make the phone run smoother. I would appreciate if you could give a quick run down on how you managed your root. Greatly appreciated.

Hi
i always used Kingo one click root it has super su that make it easy for bloat removal in a click of a button for all my Samsungs Galaxy core lte

Hello, I just downloaded the 5.0.2 OTA for my wifi Note 12.2. I have been wanting to root it but haven't really had the time. Now I need to decide whether to install the OTA. If I install it, will I lose the ability to root it later? A quick answer would be greatly appreciated.
Rooting is easy so no problem.
no
As far as installing it - I say DON'T
I AM NOT.
I have a note 2 with very 4.4.2
I had rooted the same with kingo root and by mistake installed supersu.
And in doing so, I lost root and am not able to root again. I also did a factory reset but still I have 2 superusers on my phone which I disabled and tried to root again. Not able to do so .
Can someone guide me how to do so. I don't mind even installing a custom rom.
Hello,
To better assist you, please post your device model number and I will guide you to where you may find your answer. Thank you.
I tried a few outdated methods not for this version and it just bricks the phone or doesn't work. Is there a working root method for this version? Can I flash to a previous version, root and upgrade? I'm new to the forum but somewhat experienced with rooting/flashing. Thanks for any help you can give.

This should work for you since you're running MM (6.0.1) - https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/how-to/root-files-t-mobile-s7-t3488067
If you upgrade to Nougat though, this won't work.
EDIT: Btw, don't try putting TWRP on unless you are able to unlock your bootloader. I'm pretty sure it will flag your KNOX bit too or you might run into a situation that I'm in with DRK errors/IMEI being gone (due to issue with EFS partition). Basically my phone can't be used as a phone anymore.
