I have a rooted G5 plus with TWRP installed. My backup is rooted so I'm wondering if there is a way to unroot it? Is there a stock rom zip that is flashable in TWRP? Can I unroot throught the unroot feature right in the supersu app? Thanks guys!

Hey guys, I tried looking for the answer to this but couldn't find any info.
I'm currently on rooted, stock 4.4, stock kernel with XPOSED installed. I want to update to 4.4.2 without losing data.
I don't want to re-root using a computer method such as one click install since it does not work on my computer. What are my options?

The other I can see is with custom recovery.
Procedure:
Flash custom recovery like CWM or TWRP if you don't have,
Download OTA 4.4.1, 4.4.2 zip and SuperSU 1.8 zip
Disable Xposed
Boot into recovery
Install 4.4.1 OTA zip then 4.4.2 OTA zip
Install SuperSU zip
Reboot your phone
Enable Xposed
KIndly tell me guys how to:_
1) make a backup of my stock oneplus 2 rom?
2) to do root successfully?
3) unroot, if needed?
Thanks.
Hi,
Some time ago, I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP on my Moto X Pure Edition XT1095. I tried to root it and soft bricked it. I did have a nandroid backup and restored the phone. I recently go an update notification from Motorola and tried to install it. I forgot about having the TWRP recovery. It began bootlooping after the failed installation. I again used my backup and it's working fine again. How can I install this update? Should I go ahead and root it, then find a zip of the update? Is there a way to disable TWRP and install it? If rooting is the answer, what's the easiest way? I evidently used the wrong way the last rooting attempt.
Thanks in advance for your help!

You have options. You can flash the stock recovery, use the return-to-stock tool, flash the pre-rooted stock ROM, or flash a custom ROM. My question is, why did you unlock the bootloader (voiding your warranty) unless you wanted to root and flash custom ROMs?

The OP did state that root was attempted.
My suggestion to the OP: if you have a nandroid backup of the stock ROM that has never been rooted, then restore it, flash the stock recovery, then try to look for the OTA. If it takes and installs, reinstall TWRP, nandroid backup the new ROM, and you can proceed from there. You should be able to root the stock ROM from there. If all else fails, you can install a custom ROM that already has root built in.
Since you have the image of the updated non root unmodified stock ROM, you can easily restore later for the next update.
So here is my setup:
Stock firmware (7.0), stock recovery (only booted twrp for root, not flashed) and systemless root. I have a few root apps, no xposed, only simple stuff.
I've just received the OTA notification and I'm wondering what should I do. Can I simply install the OTA and reapply root afterwards? Flashfire is an option? Do I have to flash any stock image before doing the OTA?
Really appreciate if someone could help me...
Solved. Close thread.
I have the add free Amazon G4 XT1625. Unlocked bootloader, rooted and TWRP installed. I just downloaded the latest OTA. What is the best way to install it? Can I do it without restoring the stock recovery?
Does this work for you?

This procedure worked flawlessly for me. There is no way to get OTA's unless you restore these stock files. That said, your data will be left intact and you do have to reroot and install TWRP again.
