Root still exists after reset?! Can't update root! - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After I updated from Android 5 to the new Marshmallow 6.0.1 update by wiping my device, it turns out that root still exists on my device, even after uninstalling by SuperSU when it was in Android 5 before the wipe. I've also tried the Smart Switch method but Rootchecker and any root applications are coming up with errors and wont let me do anything. I don't want to try installing the 6.0.1 version of root incase it bricks my phone.
Anyone know a fix for this? Would be very much appreciated!

Unistalling supersu and/or wiping the device alone wont do it.You must flash stock firmware which you can find at sammobile.com register and download one for your variant.after that flash it with odin(there are many guides on how to use it) and that should do it.

SM-N910H 5.1.1 Bootlooping after root

First off thanks to the community for actively helping strangers on the internet. We appreciate it.
Now, I rooted my phone while on 5.0.1 using chainfire's root technique without issue. Then I flashed with Odin Sammobile's 5.1.1 update successfully. However in doing so I lost root.
When I attempt to re-root using the same technique that worked before it goes into a bootloop. So I re-flashed the 5.1.1 update and then flashed TWRP. I granted TWRP the right to install root and the same problem occured. It just continues to loop at the samsung logo.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Just search the forum, there are many thread about the solution here
I've tried searching the forums without any luck. If anyone could link a thread with an answer it would be great. Unfortunately I have about 20 minutes a day to try to get this resolved and I'm on day 4.
Thanks
Chain fire's root file which is made for android 5.0 won't work on android 5.1. To root android 5.1 you will need to flash a root file made for your device of that version. Also note that you must flash only those files that are made for your phone's model number. For example, exynos root file may or may not work on snapdragon.

Unable to install OA 6.0.1

hi,
I have a rooted moto x play (indian version)
I downloaded the OTA update, which reboots to recovery and fails. I use twrp as recovery.
And then it keeps failing. I want to install OTA update but don't want to reset my mobile.
Screenshot. ( boot loader is unlocked)
Maybe do a search prior to posting about installing an ota when rooted and running a custom recovery. There's more than a few threads regarding this specific situation.
All you're really doing is cluttering the MXP threads with non needed threads.
I'm not even going to help you out because I hate spoon feeding people who can't even or are to lazy to do either a search on XDA or google.
I did try searching for. no help
can anyone help?
Rooting means you're modifying the system. The system will not be like before. You may be able to download the update but that won't get installed. The modification of system files won't allow you to patch them with the OTA update. So the only way is to flash the firmware manually
since Lollipop, Google doesn't let the OTA install on top of a modified system. (any modification at all). If you were rooted, and you unroot, the system is still considered "modified".
you want to install an official update from your manufacturer, the recommended process is to first return your device to completely stock including replacing TWRP with a copy of the stock recovery.
If you have nandroid backup before install SuperSU, first flash that and flash stock recovery and boot into stock and get ota and flash then you can re root and flash recovery again.

I need help

I recently rooted my S7 Edge. However, after rooting, I realized that my Pokemon Go(hehe ) is not allowing me to catch pokemons cuz it detects my rooted phone.
Thus, I tried to use Hide my Root app to hide the su binary. However, it says that it cannot find the su binary. I reinstalled SuperSU and it says that it has successfully updated the file. I also checked using a root checker and it found it. I tried a couple other apps and all can't seem to fix this.
A while back, I tried to unroot it from the SuperSU app but then I got stuck in a bootloop. Thus, I had to reroot my phone using Odin and the same root firmware to get it out of the loop and run back normally. I am from Indonesia and I can't find the stock firmware of my country... I am so frustrated...
Can anyone help me out with this? If I can't get the su binary issue fixed, I wanna unroot it but I am worried that it will get stuck in another bootloop if I'll be installing the firmware of another country...
Someone please help me... I'm new to this... D,:
what csc are you on?
same here. stock firmware for indonesia haven't released yet

Can't root anymore

Hi All,
I had obtained root via CF-Autoroot and was using it with xposed for the last few weeks without issues. I took the lunge and tried to install phh super su, magisk systemless root. so the nightmare begins for me and i'm hoping it's an easy fix!
My system is still encrypted (I believe because TWRP can't see the system) SD card is fine. I've wiped my device a few times already and am hoping I don't need to wipe it again(prior to this setup).... So currently it's running fine without root access (How I hate android without root!!!)
- I've tried flashing Supersu zip in TWRP and it's failed - I believe it's not supported yet for encrypted devices.
-I've tried using the original CF-Autoroot method I used initially.
Both methods, it boots up straight away (no optimising apps) and after installing supersu app from playstore, it says no binaries found.
What are some ways I can inject root without wiping my device?
Please help me! Thankyou!
Maybe go back to the start and flash original FW through Odin and start from scratch, so you have a fresh phone to work with.

That's my plan when I get home tonight. I want to flash the original firmware file my phone started with (I'm assuming it won't delete anything?) and then run through the root steps again.. if it doesn't work, I'll wipe my phone and make sure I get rid of encryption this time..

I think you will only lose stuff if you do a system reset after installing the original FW.
I only have had to do that on my tab S not my Edge after coming from a custom rom as I got slow down.
Resolved: flashed original rom and obtained root with cf-autoroot.
If someone has detailed instructions for magisk systemless root and xposed, it'd be much appreciated.. i want to have the option to use android pay or play pokemon go if i wanted. Thankyou

AT&T S7 G930A Nougat 7.0 Unrooting Problem

Hello. New here.
I rooted my S7 G930A running Nougat 7.0 following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/root-s7-att-g930a-g935a-t3410538
I actually found the guide somewhere else, but these are the files and instructions I used.
Rooting worked with no issues, and my phone works fine. Now I am interested in unrooting the device because of applications that won't work due to the safety net API knowing the phone is rooted.
I have already tried many things. There is an unroot.bat that comes with the files downloaded in the guide, but running that doesn't seem to actually unroot. SuperSU is still installed, and applications still don't work. I have also tried deleting the files using the ES File Manager, but I can only locate one "su" file which will not delete, and the superuser.apk or supersu.apk files are nowhere to be found. When trying to full unroot using SuperSU, I get the error "Uninstall failed!" I have also tried going back to the stock firmware using odin, but odin fails to install that as well.
Are there any current ways of unrooting that I'm missing?
Any help is appreciated, thank you.
Also, if this helps my baseband version is G930AUCS4BQC2
Okay, so I think I solved my own issue here. I was using the modified version of odin to install the stock firmware. Used the official odin and went back to G930AUCU4BQA6.
I have an additional question now. Since it reset the phone, any application that I made a system application is no longer a system app now right? But if I re-root the device, make the same apps system apps, and then use odin to upgrade to G930AUCS4BQC2 again it will unroot and my apps will still be system apps?
Thanks

If you flash any ODIN file, it will wipe the system partition and then replace it with the one in the package. There's no way to get rooted system changes to persist through an ODIN.
