Hi guys, my questions would refer to root privileges with regard to OTA software update...
But firstly...
Do you think that KingoRoot apk constitutes a reliable root service? Do you think one can root his/her device just by installing the app via browser in the phone and launching the root process?
And now the initial question:
Do you think that OTA software update can remove root from the device? Or, does the fact that one can perform OTA software update indicate that there is acutally no root on the phone?
(Device: Samsung Galaxy J5 2016)
Thanks!

Hello, never root your phone using king root and kingo root, it will get damaged
After that, always root your phone with Magisk because you can hide banking apps with it so that it doesn't know that the phone is rooted.
And I think it is possible to update the phone again with OTA by rooting Magisk
And you can always remove the root

I'm new to here. I have an Asus tf101-x1 (the BlackFriday version from Bestbuy), it says B90KASxx on the box, and the firmware is US_epad-8.5.5.9-20110816. I tried to use Razorclaw to root my device, but failed, it tells me that it lacks some file needed, I need some help for rooting it. After reading some threads, some members say that it works for their B90, is it an issue of my firmware version? if it is, what version do I need to root it? or is there another way around to root it?
Your question was answer in the other thread.

I don't think you can for now. Razorclaw needs the firmware to be at 8.6.5.19 (or .18), and you can't get there through OTA updates. B90 can't get a custom recovery unless its rooted, so you can't flash the rom.
Is there a method for rooting the SM-G928V yet? I am seeing roots for other models but can not locate a root for the Verizon model. Any advice?
Seems like people have given up on G928V. No one is up to the challenge.

Nothing yet.
Any luck yet? Anywhere? I only need wifi.

I believe there is a root for g928v 5.1.1 but not 6.0.1. I have 6.0.1 and it's driving me nuts not being able to root. I wish I could downgrade to 5.1.1.
Alright it is 2020 and still no root for this phone. How and why? I am willing to pay a $500.00 bounty for any XDA developer that can get the stock ROM write the code and get the SU access. I have a SM-G928V Android Version 7.0 Security Patch Level August 1, 2017
Hello Friends,
does an OTA (here Vers. 34.2.A.0.266) working?
Or is Root & Kernel getting lost?
Have someone tried to root .266?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

the latest version pushed almost everywhere in the world is 34.2.A.0.311? is it a old OTA you have saved on your phone?
?to unroot. sorry, have you ever opened the supersu app? you probably need to relock your bootloader also. (search)
https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
Q: Are there any known issues when unlocking the boot loader?
A: Yes. When you select a device, any known issues for that device will be displayed. In addition, the following generic issues have been reported:
Some users have experienced problems when they are accepting over the air upgrades. Therefore we do not recommend users to accept over the air upgrades, after having unlocked the boot loader. For additional information, check out the XDA Forums for hints and tips from the community

instead of OTA use flashtool (search) to upgrade (to 34.2.A.0.311). exclude kernel and if root was done systemless (very likely) you will not loose root, you should upgrade the kernel to a current one though. so if your phone does not boot flash a new kernel and supersu again. if you use genesis kernel you also need to flash it and supersu again.
Hello XDA community,
This is my first post on here and I hope I'm not doing something wrong in terms of protocol, but I have a rough idea on finding a root for this phone that needs support and refining from you guys, the XDA community.
My idea is this: If we can find a way to downgrade the phone software back to before the December 2016 security patch, we can run a Dirty Cow root exploit (, which is ready to go on GitHub, ) to temp root this device (or any device, in theory). Once we have temp root, we could run a program like SunShine or whatever else to turn that temp root to perm root. (SunShine currently says that, to full root this device, it needs some kind of temp root.)
Now going back to the first part about downgrading the software to before the December 2016 security update, I initially thought we could achieve this through mfastboot or RSD Lite, since they allow flashing of officially signed Motorola firmwares. However, I read that when upgrading the Moto Z, and presumably all other variants, from Android MM to Android N, the (locked) bootloader is updated, too, and will not allow downgrading, resulting in a prevalidaton error. This is where I need your help.
The question is: How can we downgrade the firmware back to MM, or some other before-December firmware, to use Dirty Cow for root. Please leave ANY suggestions in the comments.
Thank you for your time and help. I have faith that we will be able to solve this together.
I don't think you can downgrade. But i've been running this for the past 9 or so months to prevent the forced updates: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/themes/app-moto-z-play-apps-stop-ota-motocare-t3538812
(no idea if that would work on the z force)
Well I know there are many videos on YouTube claiming to downgrade certain Moto devices through RSD Lite or mfastboot for different budget Moto devices, but I suspect they are all fake. Nonetheless, I hope there is a legitimate way to downgrade.
I forgot to mention that if you can get a replacement Moto Z Force from Verizon, which is very easy to do in my area, they ship you a refurbished replacement, which runs marshmallow and has no updates installed, but I don't have the opportunity to get another replacement, so for anyone else, that's one way you could "downgrade" and try Dirty Cow to root the device.
I'm just going by this topic https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/how-to/dont-upgrade-to-nougat-ota-t3524456
but i don't really know for sure
Wow. Now I wish I'd known about this MUCH sooner. Its too late for me. Well, in that case, try to see if you can revert back to marshmallow if you unofficially upgraded to nougat and check what month of security patches you are on. If it's before the December 2016 security patch, then you can run Dirty Cow and get temporary root. With temp root you can most likely find a way to make it permanent root.
So, my A1 should come later this day and I want to know if I should root it or not. I want to install Google camera but I need to root my phone to enable the Camera2 API, or is a way to do it without rooting?
Can someone give me a link on how to root the octomber update and keep getting OTAs?
