Hello. If I root my android phone (htc one m9), will I be able to unroot it afterwards?
And are there any good programs that can root my phone model with a single click, without me doing it manually?

Use KingRoot app to root your device. If you use KingRoot or SuperSU super user app then both apps have unroot option that can completely remove root from your android.
I installed KingRoot on PC , but all is in Chinese language?
And btw, can I screw up my phone with root, can something bad happen, like bricked phone during/after root? Is there a chance for that to happen? Or root is totally safe?

Can't say that rooting android is 100℅ safe. But I never bricked my androids by rooting them. After root if you delete any system file other than bloatwares then it chances to bricked android. Always get nandroid backup after rooting your android.
Have you ever rooted HTC ONE M9?

No. I never rooted any HTC device. If you want root your android then you want to ready for good and bad consequences.
Yeah I think I won't root it...
I wanted to root it because I deleted some photos from my Gallery and I found some programs to recover deleted photos from android, but they all require device to be rooted before scanning for deleted photos. But I'd rather not take that chance of messing up my phone because of a few photos.

Have you tried disk digger photo recovery. It works on both rooted and non rooted android. There is limitation on non rooted android. It may recover your photos.
Yeah I've tried that one, as well as many others from Play Store but most of them just find the photos that I already have in the phone, not the one deleted, or they just can't find it, I guess more deep scan is necessary, that's why it requires my device to be rooted.

You tried PC softwares to recover your data. They don't want rooted android.

Hi guys,
Is this root solution safe to use on my device?
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-7-0-plus-wifi-gt-p6210-root-63530/
Would it brick it and if so, would there be any way to restore the device?
Thanks

That is the method I used to root mine, there is a thread for it in the development section. This only roots the device and does not put a custom recovery in place, you have to use Gary's method for that. You will also need to install a copy of superuser once you do this and that is available in the market. The device can be restored using Odin which I have not had to use yet so not sure how it works but there is a thread for that in development too.
there is another root package that i create come with superuser and busybox so you dont have to download those manually...
What's the likely hood that it will brick my device?

Less than a fraction of a percent. All it does is put an su binary file into the system/bin folder.
Device now all rooted and working.
Is it me, or does a device run slower when rooted, I might just be making things up? lol

Its your imagination as all it does is give you administrative privleges and is not an app or program that uses resources.
Hey all,
A while back I rooted my LG G3 (great phone btw) and and I have, what I thought I have anyways, unrooted it through SuperSU due to my phone not being able to OTA update with an accompanying error message of not being able be updated while rooted.
I have just read about Lollipop finally being rolled out to U.S Android phones (finally)
Can anybody tell me how to update that doesn't require losing all of the stuff on my phone, or if I can make changes to the system files to make it recognizable that it isnt rooted, I read threads that this is a cause.
---I have tried using Lg Update Mobile tool or whatever its called, and tried LG PC Suite to look for an update, but it says its already up to date)
Please help?

The only safe way to unroot and update is the following. You might have to do factory reset in order to get the update.

Back up your data to your computer or ext sd card. The apps you can reinstall later. I know there was an app but I can't remember now. Titanium back up it's only good with root and lollipop does not have root yet.

I use MyBackup Pro.
There's a free version also on the Play Store and it doesn't require root. It won't work as good as it could if the phone was rooted but it's a win in this situation. I sometimes even use it instead of Titanium on my KitKat roms.

Since my phone is so low on space I had to uninstall Facebook, I bought a micro SD card. Turns out I can't use it, because I'm running android 4.4.2 KitKat.
So I've started looking for a way to unlock root access. I've already tried Kingo Root and some other things, but nothing works. Nothing I've found on google has been of any help either.
I find it hard to believe it really is impossible to enable root, but I'm no programmer. Is buying a new phone really my only option? :|

Hi
I want to root my OnePlus One solely for the purpose of being able to install an app which requires my phone to be rooted. I have seen some old threads (both here and on OnePlus.net) on how to do this, but I'm not sure if the procedures still work for a phone running Cyanogen 13.1.
Can anyone point me to some instructions that do work for OPOs running CM13.1 that will allow me to root my phone without wiping any data
Many Thanks!
Reece

Well you only want root right?
You can simply do it without unlocking boot loader.
Just search for kingoroot or kingroot apk on google and use it making sure you've a good internet connection.It may need a few tries before rooting. But it will 100% work.
Not the best choice...You should install the system less supersu imo.

Doesn't matter,he wants the root only and he can achieve the supersu by a simple kinguser to supersu trick.

G'day all.
Rooted my old Galaxy Tab 4; flashed a ROM that seems to be working just fine.
Somehow I managed to delete/disable/screw up Google Play Services to the point where I had to do a factory reset. I still appear to be using the new ROM, but SuperUser now says I don't have root access. When I run the rooting software (KingoRoot, Kingroot, and RootMaster) they say I'm rooted. But Root Check says not.
Any thoughts as to how to recover access? I'd like to be able to get rid of some of the bloatware that still infests the machine.
regards

I'll have a look there but I think the issue is not necessarily related to the machine but to something with the software permissions. Somehow, Superuser is ignoring the rooting software, whiich did not happent he first time I did it and I think that's because something happened during the reset.

Samsung devices are not like other Android devices, very heavily modified android.
Very few devices can be rooted by KingoRoot, Kingroot, or RootMaster anymore.
As long as the SU-binary is present in /system/bin the device is rooted. Check for this.

Thanks. Presumably that's under Device Storage, yes? I don't appear to have a system folder there. A search doesn't turn up the file itself.

And I do not appear to have access t the root files, so can't see if anything is in /system/bin. Indeed I can't see the folder itself. mite turn up on adb, I suppose. I'll try that when a get a few minutes.
