Hi guys,
I rooted my phone a few days back after I bought it and then just wanted to see if I can unroot it following the How TOs on the forums and I used one of the stock roms for Virgin Mobile but I didn't pay attention to the build of it. As it turns out, it was 1.23.351.1, so I am now on 1.23.351.1 and UNROOTED. I found a guide how to downgrade but it seems like it only works for ROOTED phones. I can't get past the part where I have to enter SU to have SuperUser access and I assume it's because the phone is not rooted and SuperUser Permissions is not installed.

Any suggestions?
Thnx

Tried a factory reset (after backing up your SD card, ofc)?
Yeah, I just tried that but that doesn't change the ROM or anything
Maybe, I'll call HTC and complain about something to get a replacement, what can I complain about that will get me a replacement
i rooted my evo when the 2.2 version came out. now it is trying to do a ota update everyday and seems to be dragging a$$. is there a new update i should do or can i do the ota update? pretty new to this stuff i just wanted the wifi hotspot unlocked when i rooted
Yes Sir, hit up the Development thread and find a stock rom that is updated to 3.30.651.3. This will get ya all up to date. To my knowledge if you rooted and used Unrevoked Forever then you could apply the ota and still reman rooted but don't quote me on that.
ya i thought unrevoked forever was what was used to root it but not 100% sure. so is there a guide to doing the update?
guides...walk thrus? any info to help be great total noob here
I got my Incredible yesterday. As soon as I started it up it asked to install a system update. I declined because I wanted to root. I rooted last night with revoked3 and flashed unrevoked forever. Have not installed a custom ROM yet, didn't have time to pick one.
My phone continues to ask me to install the OTA update. I have 3 questions:
1. Will installing it affect root?
2. If I lose root when I install it can I get root back?
3. How do I get it to stop asking me to install it?
Ok I know two of these answers
If you accept it you will lose root. I believe if you run unrevoked forever you cab reroot though.(not 100% on this so I'd say don't do it.) To get rid of it you can change some number with root explorer but I'm not exactly sure how to since I'm on my phone and can't link it
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
ok, thanks...maybe someone else knows what to change? It hasn't asked in a couple of hours, maybe it went away lol

What is up…Question: My Samsung Genex is seems to be unlocked, as I unlocked it with the toolkit and the visual unlock appears during the Google boot. However, Superuser, Busybox and Rom Manager do not recognize the device as unlocked.
With no luck, I have re-rooted the device via toolkit several times.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks All!
i had this problem just a few days ago, or a similar one. initially i rooted my phone. then i got the OTA update since i was still stock. i accepted the update but never checked root until later and i had lost root. but for whatever reason i could not get back root no matter how much i tried.
i used the superboot one click method, over and over and over, but it kept failing. then one time if finally just worked and rooted. i didnt do anything different. so that's all the experience i can help you with...
Solved. Thanks to the fine folks that created the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit!
how? please explain , im having the same problem
Hey guys im new to the forum. I have a sprint lg g3 i rooted with stump root when i first got the phone. I did the ota update and rebooted and super su said something about binary not being rite. (sorry for my lame terms) and tweak box is no longer working and xposed installer says frame work is not there soooo i tryed to re root with stump and its saying im already rooted. ??????? Also im new to this type of root. What is the difference between this and flashing roms with twrp? Im used to that coming from a note 2. But im not very good with computers so please excuse me for questions that are kind of like um why do you not already know that. And also since tis update my battery is getting killed. Thanks in advance for the help guys
