Everywhere I read to back up before rooting, since the only time I unroot is for updates and those happen rarely I was wondering if there was a disadvantage in backing up the phone using twrp after rooting to always have my latest installs
Thanks

Disadvantages? Losing 2 minutes of your life and space consuming maybe?
So it's better to backup after rooting ?

You can flash the updates via twrp. Why unroot to just take otas when u can flash them? Yes whenever flashing am update always take a backup just in case something goes sour.

On every device I've owned so far I wait for a method to fully unroot the device is out just in case.
That being said, is there a method to fully unroot and reset the flash counter (similar to the note 2) to 0 or for it not to show that a custom rom/recovery has been flashed?

Yes there are a few ways. You could install the complete stock tar which will wipe everything out including data. You could uninstall root using supersu and Odin the stock recovery. You could install team sextapes full stock with no data wipe to go back to stock without losing data. That is a few but there is more.

Hmm so after those methods it wouldn't show up as if I ever flashed anything in download mode?
I ask because in case anything happens to my device and I need to exchange it

Correct. Odin is the easiest option. And since you would be exchanging it the full stock tar with data wipe is perfect. Just make a backup first.

Once you root .... you will never go back! :laugh:
Ive tried many of the hotspot apps in the market but none seem to work as I always get an error message. does anyone have any suggestions?

Yea I've been wondering the same thing.
Why don't you root and flash the mod ?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
You need to root then do the mod to get them to work
You can always unroot after flashing the mod if it is that much of a problem to be rooted.
Why not just root the phone? No harm done in rooting, right??
I was just hoping to stay stick for a while, but I guess that's not going to happen.

you can stay stock if you want yet still root. I have yet to flash a custom rom but been rooted since day 1.
Wow, the rooting process is so much easier and faster than on the original evo. It's like I barely had to do anything. Thanks for the help everyone, it was definitely worth rooting.

Could please explain me how to do that? I mean, I know how ro backup but I don't know how to wipe and flash back OOS 2.2.1?
Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk
I have reverted back to lollipop but my download speed is very slow. What should I do?

How did you revert?
I have wiped cache and data from stock recovery and flashed official 2.2.1 zip downloaded from oneplus site.
Hi, I'm running stock Android 7.1.1 (N4F26O) on my rooted Nexus 6p with twrp installed. I just got the android 7.1.2 (NPF05F) Beta update. I tried installing it with flashfire. Flashfire kept stopping at 7%. Is there any way I can install the update without losing root
Sorry for bad english.

Same here. Mine crashes while uncrypting at 22%.
I am also experiencing this issue.
Try removing root, go back to a completely stock rom - wait for 7.1.2 then download it. Let the phone update to 7.1.2 without using flash fire.

Obviously that will work. But we aren't trying to lose the ROM, kernel, recovery, root for a beta

Everyone needs to calm down and wait! If you are not willing to go back to a full stock build, just wait until someone creates a flashable zip version. This is nothing new here. Factory ota's rarely if ever are comparable with aftermarket kernels, recoverys or root.

Hi,
I've been having issues with my lg G6 since the Oreo update. It has been overheating and rebooting several times a day and sometimes does it in a loop. I've been getting messages that lots of apps including Google apps are not responding.
I have tried factory resetting the phone but still getting the same issues.
Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated
Thanks
Are you rooted?

I haven't rooted
Download an Oreo Open EU .kdz and flash it with LGUP & Uppercut, that may help, could be a glitch with OTA update.

If u couldnt fix it u can get ur phone to warranty service they have a special box and flash ur phone if supported but make a backup from ur media before it
