Unroot..is possible to use supersu and then factory reset?i think yes..

Hi
I have read that some users have have problems with factory reset after root with towelroot.
but if i only do root,install supersu and usetitanium backup to freeze various bloatware..if then i defreeze apps ecc i have freezed and then use supersu option to unroot,delete supersu and finally do a factory reset,,this could be a good way without flash rom with odin?
Because i think that the way is to restore all the apps in the rom as the were before doing changes.

Your description is somewhat confusing. But if I understood your intent, then yes, you can revert your changes that way.
But wouldn't it be easier to do a full Nandroid (backup)? Which you can later restore if you want to return your system to it's original state.

Unrooting from within the superSU app folowed by flashing a stock rom with Odin and after that a data factory reset is the best way imo to restore to 100% stock imho

There are several Odin tutorials on Youtube to give you an idea how it works.
Important is to disable Kies (Tray Agent) in windows task manager, enable usb debugging in developer options and download a stock rom and extract it with 7-zip, place the .tar.md5 fii\le with Odin in PDA and flash it in with the phone in downloadmode.

But tutorials online explain first to reinstall firmware througt odin and then do a factory reset data e cache.essentially reflash stock firmware is useful to disable root.but if a user has the same stock rom (so he didn't install others roms and kernel or recovery) why he can't take off root with the option in supersu and then wipe data e cache?
I don't understand the sense to reflash a firmware that i already have in the phone..that has same stock kermel and recovery..
In my opinion reflash a stock rom could be useful if a user has another rom with another kernel and recovery..but i have already stock rom!

Can i use Odin mobile? Now i have Read is compatible with galaxy s5 900f And i have a 900f..

Odin mobile could be ok?

Xposed and Safestrap on Lollipop?

I recently upgraded today from 4.4.2 to 5.0 OC4 and kept root using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...0-keeproot-t3068546/post59791648#post59791648
However, I had no Idea it would be so hard (impossible?) to get xposed back. Is there any way in which I could install xposed ARM without having a custom recovery on my verizon G900V running lollipop?
I also read an article on another website that said you can flash safestrap with odin, go into safestrap, install anything necessary, and then reflash current ROM? I am not TOO knowledgable with all of this, however I have found my way around all this enough to ensure myself root and all needed features. Any help or information would be amazing.
Article: http://www.droidforums.net/threads/galaxy-s5-safestrap-after-the-lollipop-update.279867/
I was considering flashing the xposed ARM file with flashfire, however I read someone else was stuck in a bootloop who tried this. Would this not work? Is there any method? I was also looking into flash gordon which lets you flash .zip files without requiring custom recovery. Thanks!
EDIT: Just did some more research and found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/nc1-flasher-odin-to-safestrap-t3082620
It seems as if its possible, however this thread is for the OC3 version, while I flashed the OC4... Anyone out there done anything like this before, or knows how to provide the needed steps? Thanks again.

Go to the xposed thread and read any comment at all. It doesn't work on touchwiz based lollipop architecture. PERIOD. you didn't need a new thread in this forum to learn that...

I see, is there some way that I could downgrade. I've been looking into that for awhile now to go back to my 4.4.2 but there's a ton of methods and I am not sure which is required for my device. I canno't seem to find a specific method for my g900v s5. Thanks for you're reply, and I hope I can downgrade.

You can use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3088571 it might need some modification for 4.4.2, however.

You can go up and down as often as you like. I would Odin the NCG tar from the link below and reroot.
You probably still have safestrap. You could try this first. Go to download mode and Odin the NE9 kernel. When your phone starts booting up you should see the safestrap option to boot into recovery. Boot into recovery, install a rooted NE9 ROM of your choice. Boot back into download mode via safestrap and Odin the NE9 firmware. Let your phone boot all the way up and you should be good to go. Use NCG kernels and firmware-roms if you would rather be on NGC.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ment/stock-collection-kernels-modems-t2842069
If safestrap doesn't show up, Odin the full NCG tar file and reroot your phone.

Thanks so much for your help, the only problem is I never installed safestrap on my phone. So I do not currently have safe strap, or any custom recovery. So i can just use the odin method then, correct?

Yes, sir. That would be correct. Since you are rooted, there is an app called Flashfire you could use that doesn't even require a computer but if you are familiar with Odin that is a good way to go as well.

I have flashfire installed, in fact I used it to upgrade to lollipop. What settings should I use with flashfire to downgrade to lollipop? Do i have to clear cache or anything? And will the file from the notes #4 from here work?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...0-keeproot-t3068546/post59791648#post59791648

What ROM do you want to have on your phone?

Just a normal stock 4.4.2 ROM works fine for me.

Download this ROM onto your SD card. I prefer deodex
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793931
Download the NGC retail firmware from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ment/stock-collection-kernels-modems-t2842069
In Flashfire, select firmware and navigate to your firmware. Just check boot and recovery
Next select zip-ota, navigate to your ROM. Leave auto mount unchecked.
Select firmware again. This time check boot, recovery, modem, and firmware. Flashfire will ask if you want them in separate zips. Click yes
Now select wipe. Check everything but SD card.
Now arrange everything in this order
Wipe
Firmware-boot recovery
Zip-rom
Firmware modem firmware
Firmware-boot recovery
Ever root- inject supersu
Boot normal
That should do it. You should be rooted on 4.4.2

Ur amazing. I'll try it and let you know. Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks so much! It worked perfectly! I had a problem initially after installing towelroot and xposed and got an error when rebooting the phone called "Process system isn't responding". My phone kept freezing and was super slow because of this. I believe it was due to me restoring contacts from titanium backup. I restored the contacts system app as a whole. I didn't realize that at the time however, and just system restored my phone again, and did everything the same yet didn't restore my contacts, and the message is now gone. I am not running root with xposed on 4.4.2. Your amazing!

[Q] coming from s4...little confused, some root questions

im on 4.4.4 NK2. from what I gather, best way to go is root from what im on now and not take the lollipop update. just want to make sure that is correct and that this is correct way....
1. Flash The NCG stock kernel via Odin
2. Reboot & Root using Towelroot
3. Install SuperSU, open the app and allow it to update binaries normally
4. Flash NK2 kernel via ODIN
after that, is the newest lollipop update worth taking? i heard there was problems.
also, i see that there is FlashFire beta....i know its basically mobile odin....is safestarp still necessary to flash roms or can i flash them via FlashFire?
thanks in advance!

Looks like you have it right. If your phone is new to you you might consider flashing the full wipe NGC tar file and starting from scratch. Good way to get rid of any junk that might be on your phone.
You can flash with flashfire and go up and down and keep root easily and without using odin. In my opinion, it's still good to have safestrap. It is the only recovery available to you. I still run 4.4.4 on my S5 though I haven't tried the very latest lollipop that came out. I'm fine running RicksRom.

Hi i want to root Stock 6.0.1 mm and keep stock recovery. So do we have to flash TWRP in order to root stock 6.0.1 mm? Or just flashing the cf-root file via odin alone will give root access? Thanks

CF-root via odin will root your device and you'll keep stock recovery.
I wonder what's the point of keeping stock recovery by the way

Thanks, i tend to use stock samsung rom always, but just like root to remove crap, titanium backup and some apps that require root permissions. Btw what options on odin do we tick when flashing the cf-root file?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Hmm, I guess if you never need to flash anything then keeping the original could be OK.
I'd say trwp is still useful to perform backup (entire rom at a time).
Well normally, you don't need to tick any options (the useful ones are ticked already).
So, only auto reboot and F.Reset time should be ticked.

When i had the S4 a few years ago, i had clockworkmod recovery which was great and i was familiar with, but was not ever a fan of twrp even then, so decided to stay stock with the s5 but thanks for the help mate.

Hi mate, just rooted my s5 via odin and cf-root file. However every time I reboot the phone, i get a "Set warranty bit" message in yellow at the top of the screen, I did do a wipe cache after I rooted. How do i remove that message? thanks

To my knowledge, you can't get rid of this message which was tripped by the rooting process.
But it doesn't make any difference anyway so you might as well leave it!

Then, you can run the root to the Galaxy S5 SM-G900F Android 6.0.1 and Kernel of May 31, 2016 without triggering this blessed knox 0x1?
I still have not figured out if it is feasible, and if you can do as you progress? Towelroot works?

do i need to unlock the boooader before or after?
or not at all?
obviously the first file that i need to flash (twrp) is the custom recovery.
do i unlock the bootloader before this?

Can I flash a stock firmware using TWRP?

So my S7 Edge is rooted and it's running on Android Nougat 7.0 and I want to downgrade it to Marshmallow because the Nougat has so many bugs and stuff and what's driving me crazy is because of the Samsung Nougat Keyboard and the fact that Xposed is still not released for Nougat. So the problem here is that I don't have my laptop right now to flash it in using ODIN but I have TWRP in my phone and I've always heard that you can flash roms using TWRP so can anyone help me in this? Pretty please?
and also if I flash in the stock firmware on TWRP will I lose TWRP and my root and data? and will the bootloader be locked?
Thanks in advance for anyone who is eager to help. :laugh:

yes, there is, it use to be odin for mobile but was redesigned and renamed flashfire.
And yes, you can use TWRP to flash stock roms, they have to be in zip format for it to be read properly.
Unless you got an unlimited data plan how where you planning to transfer the rom to your sd card without a computer?
