Did you root with the kingroot? PC or apk? Do not have the option to remove root?

Rooted with kingoroot, I am not very sure which app i used to root. Replaced it with supersu app and updated the binary. I found a way to install OTA updates with root using flashfire. It preserves the root after flashing and thus saves the effort and time to re root, although other root related stuff need to be redone especially after full system update. It's very good for incremental updates and good for full system update. The only issue is the flashfire app's display needs to be resized else is unusable. This is a bit pain but I was successfully able to do it. I realized that the recent ota update of 14.19mb dated 11/01/2017 is buggy and does not get installed. Anyone else found similar issue?
It also preserves the custom recovery after installation of updates.

Tried to resize the screen to 320X480?
That will create problems as the display will go off the screen and you might not be able to use. lem5 is 400x400 bigger numbers will reduce the display. Smaller numbers will make it bigger. If you want to experiment and acquire the required display, I suggest go in very small increments or decrement, its a trial and error method, don't change abruptly to a number of big difference. If you do so you will not be able to use the screen and will have to restore full backed up rom from pc. I think it would not be possible even to enter custom recovery as the key combinations of a smartphone probably don't work for watch. Also restoring only system might not do the job. Both data and system needs to be restored as both are changed by playing with the resolution. You have to have a full backup, a backup that can be restored with pc and also don't forget to set usb debugging if your pc backup software requires it before playing around, else there will be no way to do it from the watch. Miracle box software though does not require it for restore and backup.

Hi,
I am new to this forum and android stuff.
Please forgive me if I asked noob question.
I tried to search but got no complete answer.
My condition:
Nexus 7
build number JRO03S
used Nexus root toolkit 1.5.3
to unlock and root
used TWRP to install poitee kernel for usb dac.
Then:
The 4.1.2 updates notification show up
I pressed yes ... accidentally.
Now:
The build number becomes JRO03S
but the Android version is still 4.1.1
Question:
a. How to update to 4.1.2?
b. How to update without wiping any data and apps?
c. Do I have to reinstall the pointee kernel?
d. Will flashing rom ( updating to newer version ) wipe all things?
Sorry for so many questions,
For my situation it is a mixed up that I can't find similar condition on the internet yet.
Please kindly help and advise.
Much Thanks!
Btw,
I done below, no success:
1. quickboot
2. TWRP recovery
3. install nakasi-JZO54K-from-JRO03S.zip (from /sdcard)
4. error --> "Status 7" shown.
Cannot update.
Please Please help....
Use the wugs toolkit and go back to fully stock ROM, re lock the bootloader.
Only then will you be able to apply the OTA update.
backup your app data using titanium backup.
There is a modified version of the update that someone made. It doesn't perform the system checks that cause so many peoples devices to fail. If you can't run the update because you changed or deleted a system apk, read this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32752631&postcount=20
Don't run this if you're just not sure of why your update is failing.

Understood and Thanks a lot!!!:good:
that means all in all,
I still have to go through
the route of "Backup all --> Flash Stock & unroot --> Root --> Restore all".
However, considering the latest update seems don't have anything important or useful to me
So I just wait for the next more important update.
and save the drudgery next time.

He doesn't need to lock his bootloader, and he'll still not be able to run the update the natural way as long as he's got twrp or cwm installed. He can flash the factory rom and push the update through using custom recovery though.

Thanks for you advise,:highfive:
it is very kind of you to help.
I think may be the Status 7 error could be caused by the Custom Kernel Installed (poitee)
I better ask him in detail later on.
But mine is JRO03S,
May be it is safer to Return to Stock Rom completely and go for OTA later.
Sadly, This 4.1.2. seems got no very useful component to me,
I solely use it as a second PDA and Music Player with USB DAC.
I will have to wait for better solution then.....

The latest update allows you to boot into recovery mode without being plugged into usb. Now, if I get stuck in a bootloop, I don't have to look for something to plug my device into to restore. This feature alone is worth whatever hassle one may have to do to update.

O'really.....em...then it is a different story..(Safer for the future...)
Perhaps, I just:
1. use Titanium Backup to back up everything --> copy the "Back up" to PC (just in case)
2. use Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit 1.5.4 to Flash Stock n Root
3. if can Flash to 4.1.2 stock rom directly, OK
4. if can't --> flash back to 4.1.1 stock rom (JRO03S) and then OTA
5. Finally, use Titanium backup to restore Everything.
Have to Thank You you guys again!
I know I am a newbie... but I am learning......
Hate to be limited to what I was given......while I can experiment and make mistake to grow up !:laugh:
Is it a misconception that an OTA update received on your phone will not install if you have a custom recovery? I just read an article on how an update will fail if you are running a custom recovery. However, when I updated from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2.. All I did was accept the OTA update notification I got on my phone and it installed fine through the TWRP recovery I had flashed on my Nexus.
It won't install automatically, as you found out. It has been said many times over that you are easily able to install the downloaded OTA yourself in your custom recovery.

Yes its not new info as this has been discussed before in a number of threads back when the last OTA first came out.
Had a similar question, and in the spirit of not starting a new thread...
was this OTA just lucky in that regard?
ie. I want to root (for ads.. no other compelling reason for me.. I'm happy otherwise).. and would like to do so in a way that makes me as forward compatible for future OTA updates (ie. don't want to have to wipe data).
since I'm not looking for lots of typical custom recovery features, I'm wondering if I should even bother with a custom recovery.. and/or if any are likely to allow me to accept OTAs directly OTA.
thanks!

Rooting your phone does not keep you from being able to update it. If all else fails you can always download the OTA and update it through your custom recovery. Which is what a lot of people did instead of waiting for Google to push it to their phone, myself included. Also you don't have to have a custom recovery installed if you don't want to after you root the phone. You could use one of the toolkit's to root it and it will install a temporary custom recovery used just for rooting then remove it when its done. Or just flash the stock recovery image after you root if you do it another way. If you go through the process of rooting I would recommend unlocking the bootloader too while you are at it but be warned this will erase all your memory so backup first.

the recovery "kill" the otas, not the root.
so you have costom recovery you will get the ota but you will be unable to install it, if you use jest a root and have stock recovery - you fine and will get the ota.

you right.
if you use stock recovery you will get OTAs
if its stock and merely rooted then OTA should work
For the OTA to be accepted, you'll need the stock recovery for your device. Rename it to recovery.img (if it already isn't named that) and then move it to sdcard root (/sdcard).
Now, use a terminal emulator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en) and open a command prompt. The command we're using has two parameters. The the "if" parameter refers to your input file, in this case, this is the recovery.img file you moved to your sdcard root to flash. This could be any recovery (TWRP, CWM, stock, etc). The "of" parameter is the output file and is the actual physical path to the recovery image your device uses. At the command prompt type this:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
If you already have the stock recovery then all you need to do is press "Accept" or "OK" or whatever the dialog asks when it pops up letting you know about the update. I'm not sure if the stock recoveries are different for each carrier, so you'll have to find that yourself.
Edit: By the time I finished typing this I see that you already are on stock recovery, so you should be good to go
Idk mines flashed to stock and rooted

Just bought a g2 and am thinking of rooting to enable the auto hide of the on screen menu buttons. So correct me if im wrong but if all i do is root, leave the stock rom and do nothing apart from root i will still get ota updates.
But the update can remove root right? So is there any way I can keep my phone from automatically updating and losing root? I don't want to lose root... Mainly cuz i love not having software keys.

Try the above or remove/freeze whatever the apk your carrier uses for the OTA. There's a couple threads around with more info.

Another question: (don't want to start a thread for this)
If you have custom recovery (In my case TWRP) when an OTA lands, obviously I won't be able to accept it.
I'll need to flash it through TWRP correct?
If this is the case will this simply apply as OTA's do and not delete any of my data on the phone etc?
Also is there a stock recovery I can download just to make things easier??
First time I've had a phone rooted and with recoverybefore it's update cycle is over, and Google isn't really being all that helpful
How to backup stock recovery?
I just picked up the G2 two days ago and rooted pretty much immediately (via ioroot10) but other than that, I'm still running completely stock. I saw some recent posts stating that it was now possible to install TWRP or CWM on the D80010o firmware, so I decided I would go ahead and take the OTA update and then install a custom recovery. However, I have tried install the OTA several times now and every time, when the phone reboots after downloading the update, I get error "0x1117008" when the OTA tries to install, and then the phone reboots to system and I get a popup stating something to the effect of "This device is suspected of rooting. Software updates will not be available for rooted devices." Checking the software version I see that I'm still on D80010d and the 10o OTA update is still available and has to be downloaded again.
Anyone else have this issue?
And no, I have not installed a custom recovery yet.

Nice to see you here dude.. may remember me from the rocket? Anyways, i'd just skip the OTA. It's nothing life changing. I'm still stock/rooted on 10d. Waiting for bugs to get squashed on 4.4.2 before I start flashing. Rather enjoying stock for the time being. Not really sure why 10o won't take. Haven't seen anyone else mention this. The only thing that has been brought up repeatedly is bootloops in twrp after taking the 10o OTA.

I am having the same error but don't remember seeing the same pop-up, just says install failed or something like that. I'm on Verizon stock Rom rooted. I've done plenty of mods by manually pushing them through, but I have the stock recovery and no custom recovery.... So safe to say, looks like you can't update with root. Gonna start searching for unroot then re root after update is installed. Doesn't seem like there is another way to do it. Anybody know if the temp unroot via superuser apk will work?

I am still investigating. I've unrooted via Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and a little extra housekeeping, and the Rooting Status does show "unrooted" in the About Phone section. However I still get 0x1117008 when trying to install the OTA. So perhaps the "unrooted" in About Phone may be a prerequisite, but is not sufficient for a successful OTA update. Maybe either the update is doing more checks for rooting evidence than the RCT daemon, or perhaps there is some other change that is triggering the error.
Hello, so basically I've rooted my phone. The root test says the phone is rooted, but some apps that require root don't work (some do). I found out it could be caused by half root. I was not satisfied with it, so I tried to remove the Kingroot app along with the root, but the app reports an error every time. However, the Kingroot app has become "untouchable". It transformed into system app and I can't delete it, because the half root doesn't allow me to do that. I can't even manually delete the su files in root. How can I solve this? I don't have an unlocked bootloader, and I don't even want to, if the situation will allow it. I just want to go back to unroot status (realised it was a mistake trusting in one click root ).
The only "safe" way to remove kingroot it's to flash again stock firmware.
I did 3 times, just download full firmware, same version as you already have, then do a local update.
Hello there...
I suffered form this thing and i factory restored my phone but everytime I do Kingroot stills there.

Thank you very much for the reply! I don't really mind having my phone half-rooted, adblock still works, so it isn't a problem, but I suffer from the fact that it's not "complete" (some kind of "perfectionism" lol). I will find out more about flashing the original firmware. I'm afraid I will need to unlock the bootloader, am I right?
My phone keeps bugging me to install OTA update for krack vulnerability. I tried and it sent my phone to boot loop and now I have it restored. My phone has xposed installed. What is the best course of action? I would like to update but if that's not possible can I at least stop having the message show up each time I unlock my phone?
You could try to disable/freeze the Motorola-Updateservices (/system/priv-app/3c_ota/3c_ota.apk) or flash a new full (not OTA) firmware for your device without boot.img, recovery.img and without wiping data.
Beware: After flashing a full firmware, all modifications to the system partition are lost and have to be redone.
I always disable all 3c moto services and never faced problems because of it.

Is that even safe not to apply the patch? I find it hard to believe just because you root your device you can't update it.

Is it a good idea to avoid security updates? No, it isn't. Is it clever to avoid updated drivers? No, it isn't (at least in most cases).
You should have informed yourself about the backdraws of rooting your phone before you did it. You need to be completely on stock firmware without any changes
to the system files to be able to use an OTA for updating your phone. This is needed to be safe the OTA update works the way it should.
The best way for updating a rooted phone is to install the full updated rom, which is easy to get for our device.

Same procedure as on other stock rom versions): you need ElementalX kernel to be flashed and afterwards your desired root method(magisk is recommended).
