So I have an HTC one with stock software, but I am rooted by rumrunner but am also only s-on. The recent ota update has been bothering me and I was wondering how to block the update prompt from showing. But I was also wondering if I could update without any problems. Any help would be appreciated.
Literally the only correct answer is: soff and flash a custom rom either sense based or not. There are ZERO reasons to be on a pure stock rom.

I am using root explorer and can not figure out how to change permissions to delete these buggers- do you have a trick?

There is a button, top-center, that says mount R/W. click it.
Also, there are no issues with installing the OTA. I am s-off, but i don't see how that it would change things (On vs off) when you are taking the .15 update

Make sure you mount system as r/w(read and write).
If Root Explorer doesn't get it done, use ES File Explorer.
I know it works with the root setting enabled and system mounted as r/w.

Niece- thanks for the reply- I just finished doing rumrunner and flashing his mod hboot and do not want to lose s-off. Just so I am tracking with you, I can take the .15 from .10 and it will not erase s-off? Thanks again!

I disagree with your opinion about there being zero reasons to but on stock rooted. Only reason I want root is to block ads remove blinkfeed and run a few apps that need root....other than that I don't see the need to be on a custom ROM (no disrespect to devs and their hard work)

hello everyone, i recently bought a new htc one m8 .
Locked to Wind.
Now i rooted the phone, enabled s-off and unlocked it.
2 days later i downloaded titanium and accidentally deleted something i dont know what,
the phone worked properly still except i couldnt access settings, every time i clicked settings it would back me out. So me being the noob I am restored the phone, and that didnt work. So now I have a HTC One that cant go into settings.
I tried several tutorials telling me to flash the original stock rom onto it except I cant access USB Debugging since i cant access settings.
So am I screwed or is there anything I can do?
Would really appreciate any help?

I quoted you by mistake. Also when the op says he restored his phone I assume he means factory reset which will not restore anything deleted from the system partition. There's no reason why flashing a backup won't work unless he's done something to the partitions. He's S—off , boot loader unlocked so can't see why it wouldn't work if he uses the appropriate backup.

I think Link2SD only needs S-OFF to install the mount script, once it is installed it should work with s-on too. So you can try to get the mountscript from somwhere and copy it via the recovery to system.
Or another idea I have (haven't tried it yet): The Bootloader grants the recovery write permissions to /system. If you flash your kernel to the recovery Partition an boot from there. Then Link2SD should be able to install its mount script.

Hey guys!
I'm running a rooted phone with latest superSU. If some malicious app in the Playstore contains the towelroot-exploit and is trying to execute it, would the sulerSU-app kick in and ask for permission? Or would the app get root automatically?
Just want to know if my phone is safe or not...
Thanks guys!
Hey I was about to post the same question about the SGS5 Active, but it pointed me here.
I have a SM-G870A and SuperSU, and I used towelroot to do the root. Would the answer be dependent on the phone I'm using?
Would love to see an answer to this!

If your supersu doesn't complain about the way your phone is rooted then it should be able to control it...make sure u are specifying explicit permission grant in supersu settings (everytime)
While not able to obtain s- off at the moment because I'm on 4.4.4 if I root is it possible to remove unwanted apps? I have been using the stock Rom and just changing a few things using xposed and that's all I need to do. But rather not root if I cannot remove apps of my choosing. Also I read somewhere that just unlocking the boot loader and rooting some people are having problems keeping root. Anyone know about this also? Thanks

Don't use a toolkit, and root manually. It'll stick. Then you can go right ahead and remove any app you want. Just don't remove the wrong ones. And of course, make backups through the steps

I do not believe this in itself will work. System is write protected, even with root. You can delete the bloat apps, but when you reboot, they will return.

I missed the stock ROM part.
I know I've removed google apps recently from a custom, (play services because of FCs) and it screwed stuff up. But now thinking back, I'm not sure I did a reboot. I never intended to keep it off, and flashed the ROM back to reinstall PS and fix the FCs.
I think I did a reboot first, but I may not have. From what you say, I probably didn't. Unless it is just the stock bloatware that has read only.

Call me dumb but why would you want to do that? Just don't grant the app root privileges?

The app doesn't require root privs to detect root, I use tasker for automation between devices and it requires root along with my other fav apps
Root Cloak. But you'll need the Xposed Framework.
That's exactly what I was going to suggest. It's simple and flawless.
