Does updating OTA require you to unlock again? Root again?
I can't remember, and I'm trying to help a friend. I want to make sure they won't have to unlock again and lose all their current data and settings. Thanks
My friend was rooted unlocked with CWM on stock and got the OTA. When it went into recovery, it asked him if he wanted to keep root, etc and he said yes. OTA went through, he kept root and didn't lose out on anything.
My mother Nexus 10 has an update for 4.2.2 (currently rooted on 4.2.1) and I'm wondering if besides making backups is there any way to keep all the data during the rooting of 4.2.2?
Are you sure you will lose root? If you have SuperSU it has the option to enable it to try to keep root during an upgrade. OTA Rootkeeper will do the same thing for Superuser.
But if you do lose root, you should just be able to re-root without losing data. Someone else can probably answer this better than I can, but the only time you have to lose data is when you unlock the bootloader. Updating won't change that. I forgot to check the option in SuperSU to keep root before I updated last night, so I lost root but I just rerooted without losing my data.

Sure - that works fine. Another possibility is to download Voodoo RootKeeper, use it preserve Root (saves a copy of su), and then fire up RootKeeper again after installing 4.2.2 and use it to restore Root. Works perfectly as well.
Hi! I like to make some quick questions about root this phone...
- What is the easiest and safest way to root the S5?
- If I root my phone I will not be able to update the stock rom via OTA anymore?
- If I have a problem with phone and have to send it to the technical assistance, unrooot is possible?
Thanks in advance!

- TowelRoot, but you have to be on NE2 firmware or older. If you have the NG2 firmware you need to downgrade to NE2.
- Not if you installed supersU as a system app, if not yes and if you have superSU Pro installed and enabled survival mode you keep root after an OTA
- Yes, unroot from within the superSU app, flash a stock firmware and data factory reset and after that your warranty is restored (at the moment anyway).
I am currently running the 2.2 Lollipop firmware and am ready to upgrade straight to 3.2. The SATV is rooted and has TWRP recovery loaded.
I tried searching however could not find a procedure to follow to achieve this.
Is it possible to upgrade without losing root, recovery or data? I can live with having to reroot or reapply the recovery but at minimum I don't want to lose data.
Thanks!
HI, I never rooted my device because Lg is so complicated. But I may need to and wondering is it worth it. I lost some SMS messages and all of the recovery software says i need root access. When I do Root, will I lose all of the files that are currently on the device or will rooting allow me to still recover them? Thanks for any help

I believe you have to downgrade first and then root
Rooting will wipe all your data and factory reset your phone.
Downgrade to 10j. Use lgup and then root twrp.
You are unable to root and keep data.
