If you need to save your data, you can flash the original boot img, and you will be unrooted, but, you will have to undo any system mods, or the phone won't boot. Best thing to do is back up whatever you want saved, and flash stock rom with Emma, or Flashtool. Then, you can relock bootloader if you want, also...

back to stock

Hello Guys,
I have rooted my phone and installed the RA-hero-v1.6.2a and need to send the phone back to T-mobile.
As for root, am I right in thinking I can just load the RUU_Hero_T-Mobile_UK_2.73.110.26_release_signed_NoDriver.exe and this will remove root?
How to I remove the recovery?
Thanks,
Daniel

If you flash that RUU, it should restore everything, including recovery.
That will remove root.
When you get it back, it may have 2.1 on it, but that's easily rootable now using sticky in dev forum

Help with 4.1.2

Hi guys this is the first time i have rooted and flashed a device. I managed rooting my N7 and flashing PA Rom and Motley kernel. Now I want to flash back to stock rom and update to 4.1.2 via OTA or directly flash the official 4.1.2 pure stock. However I still want to maintain root and CWM. Is this possible? Can someone please help me out with details as kind of a noob. I even want to understand how Titanium Backup works. If i backup my apps and then do a factory reset while flashing a new rom how does the backup remain if everything is lost in factory reset. Thanks a lot for helping.

Do it manually like I did, its just as quick as the OTA, you keep all your files and I didn't loose root, was done in 5 mins.
Heres the thread to the manual tutorial:

Can I flash this over a custom ROM or does it have to be stock rom?

Good question, That I couldn't tell you mate because I don't use custom ROM's. I shouldn't see why not, give it a go and let us know the results?

The update can only be applied to a completely stock rom, if you have made any changes to the rom(build.prop edits,etc) the zip will fail to flash

You need a stock RUU, but I'm not sure where to find those. Once you have the stock RUU, adb push the update and your all strawberries and cream
The update will fail if build.prop is modifed and most custom roms modify that. So it would be safer to flash stock image and sideload the update.
Or else wait for the custom ROM developer to incorporate those changes.

Best way is to flash the full new rom (4.3 probably) in fastboot, reroot, restore apps with Titanium Backup and you`re done. Flashing a full rom is better than updating an excisting one imo. Link for how to flash stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312.

Yes, it is not hard. Just follow instructions and you should be good
Fastboot:
- Power down the phone, then
- Press Volume down + Power button
That`s it

You can be on stock with no mods unlocked rooted with a custom recovery and you will get the ota update and it will install fine.
The ota update link will be posted here before you get on your device so it's good to have a custom recovery so you can just flash it and it will also protect you from losing root or custom recovery

[Q] Tricky question for smart people

Hello,
We can't run our email system on a rooted phone.
therefore, i need to do some changes to the phone like changing fonts and removing some Samsung software.
i want to root the note 4, do the changes and then unroot it without re-installing a stock rom.
is that possible?
i'm ready to donate $25 to whoever answers this question.
No it's not possible, we will have to Odin the stock firmware in order to be back unroot ....as far as I know.
You can make a flashable zip with your mods without root the phone, you need only a custom recovery, once you mods flashed you can revert back to stock recovery

That cannot be posible i,m afraid...a custom recovery cannot be installed on a non root device... however there is a chance.... to make a flasheable zip tu unroot the device and to reinstall the stock recovery once the mods has been installed in a rooted device

Of course you can. Just flash a custom recovery via ODiN.
°°° tapatalked °°°
thank you
Thank you Slink for your elegance.
I know how to flash a custom recovery via odin and how to flash a zip file.
how can i create the zip file? at first, i'll only need to replace one font file with another one having the exact name.
swap keys
and secondly, i'll need to swap the back and recent keys because i have a very small thumb that can't reach the back key on my M8 and Z3.
this only can be done by rooting so far but our company Good messaging software won't then work on rooted android.

Just root. Do your things and then fully unroot by using supersu-settings-fully unroot feature.
once you trip knox your email wont run so you cannot unroot

Rooting from within 23.5.A.0.570 Marhsmallow discussion

Anyone know of a way to root 23.5.A.0.570 from within the ROM?
Of course you can create custom firmware with Flashtool, but is there other way?
Kingroot is useless at the moment.
Hi,
I've upgraded from Lollipop to MM yesterday, but with TFT rom, without root.
Then: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-advanced-stock-kernel-t3347413
But only works with unlocked bootloader.
I've just unlocked my bootloader and installed this kernel using ADB. But, FULL WIPE in my Z2 :'(
Don't know if was the kernel or just the fact to unlocked the bootloader.
Anyway, make a full backup

Its because of the Bootloader u unlocked.. Unlocking bootloader first time will erase ur all datas..
And there is no need to unlock ur bootloader. Simply go back to KK or LP then root it and install recovery. After that flash a pre rooted MM rom.. Simple
And i think after unlocking bootloader u have lost some Sony features.. Did u make ur TA (DRM) Key backup..??
Why do people think it's too difficult to downgrade to another version of Android, root and install a rooted android mm zip thought recovery?

Are you using Xposed? because after many re-flashes and reinstalls on different things, I think, that for me, few of the xposed mods were causing the loops. For example I miss the immersive mods in games etc and I simply can't get it to work correctly as it was, no matter what I try, so different xposed mods related mostly to that were causing the loops for me. I am currently reflashing at the moment

Oh crap, I knew it, but in the Sony developer's website doesn't show this information...
About DRM, I know I have the backup, but I don't know where, lol. Anyway, in the same topic, there's a procedure to recover the features.
tks for explanations!

So u want to root ur MM right?
Well u can simply downgrade and root it along with recovery. Then backup ur drm key using TA Backup tool from xda. After that u can flash a pre rooted MM rom
