Does update break unrevoked apk?

Hey guys I have the unrevoked apk for basic superuser privlages, and I've read about unrevoked and the new ota but I have trouble determining whether people are describing the part 2 root or not. Can anyone tell me if theunrevoked app still works after the ota? Thanks.

ota breaks root. unrevoked or whatever.

Check software version in settings about.1.47 would be new I believe.

[Q] Can it be done?

I want to know if I can remove the mobilecare app without being rooted? I hate the OTA update prompting, and I'd like it to be deleted. I'm not rooted (had to flashtool the firmware after OTA bricking) but my bootloader is unlocked. R800X. I know I can remove it with Root Explorer or freeze it with Titanium or similar apps, but I've got to re-root it for that. Is this my only option?

Yes, without root you have no write access to /system/

We now have a non-flashing root for the 800x in the developers thread!

[Q] Updating rooted device

Hey guys,
i recently did this "one click root" thing, because my computer was broken. Anyway, i would like to ask if i can update system through the "Update center" or w/e the name is. If so, will the root privileges remain?
Thank you. Martin

You can't take OTAs while rooted,however you can still update apps through the update center. It us very rare to have an OTA work while rooted, so if you want to take an OTA you need to unroot.

It's just as simple as unroot with SuperUser? With any rooting method?
Thanks

Not always because your RCT checker will still say rooted in most cases so you need to flash back to stock.

Is that not a one time unroot? I thought that if you unrooted with that method you could not root again until you reflashed the phone.

Reverse root back

Does anyone know how I can get rid of the root access. I'm gonna give phone to my wife, and don't want her to have root access. That could be bad

You can unroot via SuperSU, and if you want to untrip the LGRCT flag then you need to use the flash tool.

Do you think the flag or the root is causing update to fail?

Do you have a custom recovery as well?

Nope

Just rooted. Update fails every time. Did factory reset, still fails, so I want to UNroot

which apk blocks ota update?

Hi I want my phone to not take the OTA update, and i want to know which apk i need to remove from the system to do this.
i have removed
fotaagent.apk
sprintdm.apk
urgentfwupdate.apk
urgentfwupdatenfc.apk

thanks

there isn't one that is named system update, or else i would of already done that

I'm not rooted, i'm just trying to hide the update, kinda like debloating but not uninstalling it, so titanium backup isn't an option. i'm using adb shell pm hide command
