You can factory reset your phone and backup your stock rom via the custom recovery you install...........And you can unroot your phone,there are tons of unrooting guides and toolkits that you can find by searching the forum

I had my phone rooted and decided to unroot to get the OTA update which I did, but I tried rooting the phone again and I can't no longer root the phone.
Has any one experience this before?
Can I use unrevoked?
i dont know about unrevoked. if you do the factory reset and reroot using toasts method, there is a stock rom you can flash that has the OTA update biult in that will allow you to keep the root. all of the info is on the first page where toast describes the rooting process. hope this helps.
I guess there is no way to revoked so I can root my phone again. I like to learn if this is possible I guess, I will miss the tether app that I enjoy so much.
Please any one
I am still trying to root my evo after installing the OTA and have not been able to root it again.
Can anyone help if possible?
I will appreciate any suggestions at this point
Thanks in advance

You can use the unrevoked method if you are just mainly using it for the tether app.

Hello my friends,
I'm a brand new Xperia ZL buyer, I came from a SGSII and I have a few questions, I hope I can receive some help:
With SGSII I rooted the phone, installed a bunch of custom ROMS, firmwares, etc... and when I needed to turned back to the "original" stock ROM and firmware, and even reset the binary counter to take the phone to warranty and hide all signs of not allowed usage. I just needed to flash the stock kernel via ODIN to the phone and reset the binary counter with an app, Triangle away, found in the Play Store.
For unlocking the network I used GalaxSIM, and in few steps/seconds, I could use my phone with any mobile company.
How can accomplish all these with the Xperia ZL?
Is it safe to root and unroot? If I need to take the phone to warranty what's the procedure to cover all the manipulation?
Is there a similar mechanism as the Galaxy's binary counter on the Xperia ZL?
I'm sorry for my english, and thanks in advanced for the help.
anyone?

It's a lot easier on a Xperia device. As long as you don't unlock the bootloader nothing happens to your warranty. If you need to send it in for repair, you don't even need to unroot, I sent in two rooted devices (damages from dropping) and nobody cared, they just came back unrooted and fixed.
If you want to unroot, just install the sony pc companion software that comes with the phone, choose repair software and it will look like it's never been rooted.
Thank you man
Hello,
I own a N5110 (Wifi) version of the Galaxy NOTE 8.0
The warranty is void since the first day... So I don't have a problem with rooting
I saw this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpMY1xqXBhU
But I've read the comments, ppl have problems!!
And I'm not sure if it works with N5110 or for N5100 variant only!
Another Q:
Will the UNROOTING Process be easy, or it'll require flashing?
Won't I receive updates from SAMSUNG while being rooted (Without custom ROM) ??

For the first question, I am not sure never rooted with that.
For the second question you do need to flash the stock. Usually people just do that to hide that it has been rooted. If it is for that purpose that you are asking, and you have flashed roms, I recommend using Triangle Away, because that erases the counter of how many ROMs you have installed.
If you are at the stock you will receive updates, and if you do the update you will lose root. I have done that in the past with my Droid Bionic. I do not recommend it though because it lagged the hell out of my phone

Well, what's the point in installing the STOCK ROM if I wanted to UNROOT in my case?? (I mean I've no warranty anyway)
Can I just unroot without flashing?
And Yes I know about Triangle Away, I've read about it recently.
For the first question>> what do you recommend for rooting NOTE 8.0 N5110 ?
Thanks

As far as I know(being doing this for 3 years) There is no way to unroot without flashing the Stock Rom. The only way to flash the stock is using odin.
Honestly I do not know the best easy way to do it. All depends on the version you are at. I was on the updated version(not sure the build number). That framework apk didn't work with the version I had. The way I rooted was by first unlocking, then installed the TWRP through odin, then flashed a zip that rooted my phone. I do not recall any of the links. For the files, I lost them all because I just got a new computer and I was dumb enough to not do the back up on the other computer. Also I dont remember if there was steps in between, so I dont recommend following what I mentioned .
the way that I did is very similar to this one:

You can just install a nandroid stock rom for your device which is non rooted...
Hi guys.
Thank you for all your great posts that have helped me a lot understand the android world as I am coming from 7 years iphone usage.
I'm trying hard to decide what is the best practice for rooting and if needed unrooting my G3. I have read a lot in this forum, but I can't say I feel ready. So I thought I might ask in the forum.
So, first thing to do is root. As I understand this is fairly simple, I just have to follow one of the posted methods.
Now, say I'm rooted. I do all the tweaks I want and then I need to backup everything. So, I suppose I will make a backup with Titanium pro.
Then a new firmware version is released. Now the questions start
1. Should I try to upgrade with lg suite without unrooting? What are the possible outcomes? Keep root? Loose Root? In this case can I just root again?
2. Go back to stock (with lg flash tool), then upgrade and then root again? In this case can I just load titanium backup and therefore recover all my data?
3. Just unroot without loosing data (e.g. With lg suite) then upgrade and reroot?
4. Is the backup I have made with Titanium useless if I flash my phone to stock and then remain unrooted?
Am I too confused? Lol
Can you guys give me an idea of how you proceed when a new firmware is out? How long does it take to follow your plan of unrooting-upgrading-rerooting? Is it a matter of minutes, hours?
Thank in advance.
Hi guys, quick question, I'm trading my rooted G3. I want to do a factory reset from within the phone settings to get rid of all my apps/files etc, this is safe to do while rooted right? Or would I have to follow the long method mentioned here:
http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html
Which requires flashing the phone. I just want to wipe all data from the phone and return it to stock.
Thanks.
