huawei ascend g7 unroot problem

Hi
I have ascend g7 and I have rooted it by kingroot. but, I decided to unroot my phone. I have tried many ways but didn't worked.
- "uninstall kingRoot" -> failed
-SuperSu "Full Unroot" ->failed
- tried to flash custom recovery-> failed
please help me!
I would appreciate any ideas which could help me to solve my problem
p.s.: I'd like to flash CM13 custom ROM but no custom Recovery could be installed. dont know why!!!

This may be a silly question, but have you unlocked your bootloader?
If not, that is the first thing you need to do before you are able to install a custom recovery.
Secondly, the only way to unroot will be to reinstall an update.app of the current firmware you have, or a later version.

An update.app is the full firmware file for Huawei devices.
After updating your device, it will be completely stock, so everything will be like it was out of the box. So you will no longer be rooted.

Please look at my post for unlocking bootlader works 100 percent for the g7 L01 not sure for any other variant try at own risk hope this works for you

ZTE Axon 7 Tenfar's Root and Magisk

Hi all,
let me first start by thanking the good people of xda community for your kind help and contribution. It would not be possible for people like me with extremely limited rooting knowledge to even have the courage to attempt a root if it wasn't for the good people like you here.
I just got my Axon 7 and is trying to work up the courage to attempt a root following tenfar's instruction (I'm extremely scared of bricking my new phone) I also hope that I can continue to play Pokemon Go after I root it, but unfortunately with the latest update, it seems impossible until I discovered Magisk. My question may seem fairly simple but it is extremely confusing to me. In Magisk's instruction it says that in order to install Magisk, one must remove any kind of root and systemless Xposed. Since my phone is not rooted, I do not have to go through the step of removing root and xposed? However, it says that I have to download Magisk and flash it. My confusion rests on the concept on how I can flash Magisk if my phone is not rooted? I thought one can only flash a rom etc after the phone is rooted? So should I follow tenfar's root first and root my axon 7 then try to flash Magisk? or the other way around? Any advice /tips/precautions/high level guides regarding both rooting using the tenfar method and flashing Magisk is greatly appreciate! I may suck at rooting and etc, but what I can do is follow all instructions carefully. Thank you everyone, you are the best!

To flash something (a ROM or an app, like Magisk) you need to have a custom recovery installed (such as TWRP, you boot into the custom recovery to flash the .zip file that contains whatever you want to flash) which generally means having an unlocked boot-loader, neither of those has anything to do with root (other than that they make rooting the phone considerably easier) they don't require it and they don't do it by themselves.

@Nameless One is right, you need a custom recovery (TWRP) to be able to flash Magisk. There is a thread about this in the forums.
However I would advise you to wait until next week when a new update is expected and perhaps some changes to the bootloader unlock policy and hopefully stock ROMs, which will make it much easier to solve any problems.
If you insist on going through with this now, you should take backup images of various partitions so that you can restore your phone to stock to receive the OTA.

How does it work if you have uninstall any kind of root? I would think root would be a requirement.

It right on the top of their post
"This mod requires boot image modification, so unlocked bootloaders are required!"
What it does is implement it's own system-less root management module that will not be detected like other root methods. But will conflict with other root methods hence you have to be unrooted
Unlocked bootloader let's you flash custom recovery. That in turn let's you flash anything else including root modifications. In essence tenfar's boot image is modified to allow root. This will do something similar but you have to have the BL unlocked since patching boot image will change the signature.

iirc magisk alters the bootimage, so you need a unlocked Bootloader go get it to work.
And no, root is not a preq, you can use magisk to /aquire/ root though.
What u need:
- unlocked bootloader
- custom recovery
- a somewhat clean and not already modified system

Thank you all for the helpful replies, I greatly appreciate them.
I'm running out of the box ZTE Axon 7 A2017U with 6.0.1 Android. My goal is to install Magisk then eventually root so I can play Pokemon Go on the phone. Please advise on the next step? What are some of the safety precautions I should take? Thank you all very much!
I'm also planning on waiting until the next update [email protected]'s advice. Can anyone please explain to me the reasoning behind mh127's safety precautions? Thanks!

If you have copies of the stock images you will probably be able to fix your phone if something goes wrong and you want to go back to stock.
Not having these copies is like jumping out of a plane without a parachute and hoping you'll hit a haystack, without the pitchfork in it...
There are never any guarantees, every phone is different and as you are playing with important partitions there is a chance, generally through users fault, to brick your device...

Hello all,
Do we know if the "stock rom" @mh127 was talking about is available? Am I safe to proceed with the the magisk/root installation? Thanks!

Well, the stock images have not been released for the B27 update, which would make it much easier to recover if something goes wrong. However, unofficial images are available (look around the forums). So at this point it is your call, just be careful.

Thanks for the nice guide!
What would be the clean method to flash future OOS update when rooted and with TWRP recovery?

Simply flash the full ROM.zip manually in recovery, typically 1.4GB.
That means not installing the incremental mini zips. And not installing from the settings menu.
It's up to you whether you want to wipe data or cache.

Dm verity zip is not needed when you flash SuperSu.

*winces* Ooh, all the files on file hosts? Why not just link to the legit sites?

Very easy to download the required files. Very simple step-by-step video guide. A+
Thanks for putting this together you made my night!

Thanks, I have unlocked bootloader, Installed TWRP, and Super Su.
one question though, when after setting my account going for nandroid backup there I found SYSTEM as well SYSTEM IMAGE.
what is difference between them, What thing should I backup.
Also there is showing your system is Unmounted, so when I should have to mount it.
Thanks to all Once again.

Hello guys, thanks for the guide!
I was wondering if anyone has faced the same problem as me - while trying to root the Oneplus 3T I constantly get a bootloop after flashing SuperSU. The latest TWRP (3.0.4.0) is installed without any problems in fastboot, the system is mounted as r/w, and I don't see any problems during flashing SuperSU package...
I've tried it before and after OOS 4.0.2, I've tried old and new, stable and beta versions of SuperSU, but either way the phone is stuck on bootscreen after flashing.
P. S. If I flash the official ROM after that - it boots up instantly without any errors... And with no root :/

I'm having the same problem

Did you find a way to root your phone?

Try this SuperSU

I heard only SuperSU SR3 works

Just tried both versions (2.79 and the SR3 beta) - unfortunately, the same bootloop happens.

Cleanest root

Hello everyone !
I currently have a H870 european LG g6.
I want to root my phone but I don't want to install TWRP.
I want the lightest and "as stock as possible" way to root.
Is it possible? Thanks a lot for your help !

Your NEED to unlock bootloader. Then ADB to root.
Why not have twrp installed? Great for backup restoring flashing latest root list goes on.

If you want a rom which is 'stock as possible' install Fulmics rom. You do need to unlock your bootloader and use TWRP to install the rom tho'.

?? He just wants root. Nothing else. No ROM.

Aight if you don't want any rom, you still got to unlock your bootloader cause you need to install TWRP to install magisk or supersu. Which root app do you prefer?

I have the US997 and want something similar. I want to root the stock rom with Magisk and still be able to take an OTA. Ideally, unlock, flash TWRP, root, and then flash back stock recovery. This is possible correct?

Yea you can do that. You can keep the stock rom if you want but you will need to flash TWRP to install magisk. Magisk comes with a .zip file which only can be installed with TWRP.

Nope, you always need a custom recovery to flash SuperSu or Magisk.
Anyway, why you don't want the custom recovery? You can always remove it by flashing the stock one.

I have read a lot of issues other users have trying to make TWRP to work. I was thinking it would be better for me if there was a way to skip TWRP when rooting my LG G6.

Zefie's TWRP doesn't have any major problems, official one is unable to mount system and has problems with backups, nothing to do with normal usage of the phone.

Thanks! I wish somebody knowledgeable would post an "Ultimate Guide to Rooting your LG G6" thread and make it a sticky. There are contradicting/incomplete instructions on when to press and release the Volume & Power button, when to disconnect the USB cable, etc.
I believe many simple questions on flashing recovery and rooting will keep coming back until a correct, complete and detailed step-by-step guide gets posted.

How to Root A2017G oreo?

Hi
How can i Root the A2017G oreo a2017gv1.3.0b02 ?
when i install TWRP the phone will formatted?
i have unlock the bootloader.

Just install Magisk 16.7 (even though I hate suggesting to use that software). Do not try to use 17.x or higher until you have followed the steps in this topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/kernel-magisk-17-stock-roms-t3856809
Unfortunately, the 2 other major root solutions out there, SuperSU and Phh's Superuser, don't appear to work with stock Oreo on the Axon 7. I tried both and got bootloops.
Edit: Sorry about that link, it seems to require B20 Oreo, which is for the A2017U. But you have B02 Oreo for the A2017G. The solution in that thread may or may not work for you, I would post there first to ask. Or just try it and see.

that is not too right... If you have a G, you need to roll back to Marshmallow (B10 or B11) and install a SIGNED TWRP (of which there's only one, Tenfar's). [DO NOT BACKUP ANYTHING IN THIS TWRP]
Then from there install the aboot and fbop files present in Controllerboy's unlock guide to get fastboot (via adb commands). then enter fastboot and issue the unlock command
After that, install any other TWRP, the official one from twrp.me might be better for stock ROMs

Based on previous conversation, Tenfar's TWRP is recommended. Can somebody provide me with the TWRP? Cannot find it anywhere due to dead link.
