Any consequences other than losing root? I'm not too concerned about getting it right this second since I know these devs at xda will cook somethin nice up in a few days. Just want to know my options. THanks
EDIT: im running dc 3.2.3 (2.1)
It should just flash the new ROM. Yes, you'll lose root and it probably replaces the bootloader so you can't boot into recovery either, but it should be just another stock phone after that.
So I am rooted and go to load up the update and it puts me in the spot with the android guy and the /!\ what gives...

hmmm yup I have the same root method - great I thought it would just write over...
Well we all know by now once your phone is rooted you cannot do any ota, you are much better of waiting a day or two to get the rooted version from one of the dev.

some of us dont care about loosing root, and as far as i knew i could at anytime upgrade to something sprint put out and all that would happen is i would loose root.
I'm pretty pissed...I thought that an OTA would override the unrEVOked 3 since it's not even full root. Now I gotta figure out what to do next. There is another thread here that describes a method to UNROOT. But I'm not sure if it works with UNREVOKED 3

This is my position aswell. Im sure i read pleanty of people saying unrevoked would have no effect on future updates, and the worst that would happen was loosing root.
eventually all the developers will migrate to froyo as a base so you can wait or you can unroot like me and install the OTA with no prob. When I installed the OTA it kinda installed like a regular app...did not go to bootloader or nothing like that. Then it just rebooted into froyo...did not lose anything such as installed apps or user data etc. It's all good eitherway you choose in my opinion. Keep root and wait...Unroot/OTA and wait...it will only be a short time like almost already and full froyo with root is a done deal...

I had the june update so i was 1.47 but either way this is the program to use...
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-roms-hacks/19278-how-unroot-return-stock.html
This in my opinion is the way to go...make sure you use the 1.47 one and you are good to go...then get the OTA FROYO...I did it this way.
I had Unrevoked3 on mine for wifi tethering..and did the manual leaked update (update.zip on sd card etc) and it worked just peachy, if you wanted to go that route. I did lost my root but none of my data (even superusers is still installed lol)
From what I read there isnt much of a difference between the .3 and .6 versions anyway
Maybe if you did that, then waited to see what HTC comes up with for us "early adopters" to get us up to speed lol
Thanx to blackprince310 that posted a tutorial video on youtube on how to perm root your g2..so now there's a video for all of us.. Subscribe to his youtube channel.......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU9zn_BEth4

YAY I FIXED IT. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID.
1. reboot
2. Open and run visionary (with set system r/w after root) checked.
3. After root is complete, click root again (should say already rooted)
4. Open Terminal and sype "su" then enter
5. Type "sync" and wait about a min
6. POWER OFF THE PHONE the right way by holding down the power.
7. After reboot it should work! YAY!!

I fixed it as well but I did differently.. maybe it will help those still having trouble.. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID.
1) The first problem I had was I had Visionary 11 AND 12 (+plus) installed and both were set to root on boot. This was just a left over quirk from after doing the perm root since I just assumed it had to be set to root on boot, and after installing Vis12 I forgot to uninstall Vis11. Apparently Vis12 doesn't overwrite Vis11 so having both apps root on boot was a bad thing.
2) So I deleted both visionary apps (When they tried to root on boot I backed out of them and just uninstalled them)
3) Then I rebooted and was still not permrooted (although S was off)!
4) Sooo I reinstalled Visionary 12(+Plus)... and checked root on boot AND the r/w partition setting. Then rebooted..
5) With the lone visionary now installed and working solo it rebooted and ran on root and I was rooted..
So now i"m like, ok.. it rooted with visionary, but I don't want visionary in order to root...
6) So I uninstalled visionary 12 (for the second time) and rebooted and now the root stuck.
I think that visionary 12 needs to run after the first reboot with those two settings checked... run on boot and the partition setting. After that happens once I think it makes the root stick.. or at least it did for me.
I had same issue with S-off but no root. I did the manual method and got S-off but root never stuck. I tried the manual method again and again but when I rebooted the apps would say root access could not be gained. What ended up working was I went into Visionary 12 and pushed the temp root button. Once I had temp root I then pushed the perm root button. It did it's thing and rebooted. Once it rebooted I had root that stuck. Don't know if this will help anyone having this issue but it was the only thing that worked for me. As a side note, it was like seeing an old childhood friend when I flashed Cyanogens bacon bits.

Yea gotta say I don't regret a single minute of searching reading and learning. I just wish I could have had the root and THEN learned how to use ADB simply because I'm an impatient chump at times. Learning how to use it seemed to open up my eyes to things though now I have a better grasp on everything I found confusing when I first came back to browsing the Android forums.

i sent you a pm
I am just curious: if I do this perm root with S-OFF, but keep the stock ROM for the time being, will that prevent potential future OTA's from T-Mobile, potential upgrades to next versions of Android?
Now, I understand that all those "updates" will also be available via these forums but I'm just a tad concerned that all the custom ROM's might have bugs that would prevent everyday features...
I appreciate stuff like overclocking and tethering/hotspot hacks, but I'm more of a "set it and forget it" kinda guy - most likely I won't have time to constantly test new ROM's and report bugs, wait for fixes, etc.
Just wondering if you have any suggestions?
P.S. Although I am not VERY technical with Android I was able to follow instructions around here to reflash stock ROM, but I was in the "emergency" mode - it was "do it or die" situation made me pretty nervous and I hope not to have to do that constantly
I did everything in the video...and I have s-off and the superuser app every reboot...but root won't stick....and yeah..I've tried temp and perm root with visionary r12 and 13....should I start all over again?
Get r13...it gives you an option to temp root or perm root..click on temp root first than click on perm root..let see if that works

Cyanogen Mod 10.1.3.1 thats because I used ROM Mgr for all my roms like most of us do I believe, and use Xda for all of my stock Jb ROM downloads along with oden. I flashed through Clockwork Recovery and this is the first time I flashed a ROM and lost root after aperantly other people are having some of the same probs.
I would recommend you don't use that ROM especially if other people are having issues. I would recommend the cyanogenmod ROMS and the hyperdrive Touchwiz ROMS.

This might help but I'm not so sure but this might help: Go to Settings>Developer Options and Above the sub-menu "Debugging" there's Root Access, by default it should be Apps Only but hopefully this could help a little...

Hey!!!, So I had the same problem; I've searched and searched for almost 2 months for an answer... and nothing. To be honest I was actually just going to give up and accept CM10.1.3.1 as my phone's tomb. Although, I finally fixed it in the oddest way—essentially fiddling around with the phone before bed.... serious ciber-ich—So forget anything anyone has even talked about, up to this point, because it isn't a problem with your phone; in fact you are still rooted, you've just lost access to your root due to a root-permission war between your phone and superuser/supersu (what eva).
So if anyone is interested in fixing this, here, this is what I did to fix it.
This was my first failed attempt
1) Reinstall Root (Fail!!!!)
2) Use new super User (Fail!!!!!!)
3) Reinstall CM (Fail!!!!!!!!)
4) Wait for an answer on google (fail!!)
5) Wait for an answer on here ( double fail!!!!)
Here's the Fix
1) Reinstall Root with SuperSU ( Probably didn't need to do this; however, due to all the superuser-instalation-overkill, it's probably best.)
2) Uninstall all other superuser apps you may have on your phone—also do not use CWM Superuser (It doesn't have what it takes)
3) Go to App Management, uninstall SuperSU's last update
4) Clear SuperSU's catch (self explanatory)
5) Go into AppDrawer, Open SuperSU app and make sure
- Enabled -- Yes
- Survival mode -- No
- Logging -- Access only
- Trust System User -- Yes
- *************** Respect CM root settings********** no!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not respect that ****!!!!!!!!
6) Enjoy your root access again :victory:
If anyone has any questions, just message me. I hope this was of help to anyone going through the same pain I had gone through.
For some more info on my phone.

Hey everyone, just wondering how many of you out there are planning on rooting their HTC One M9 - Adam
I will be but will keep it stock to see what HTC does with updates.
All my phones get the root & ROM trearement at some point.
Or I may just may keep it stock, that will be a first though.
I won't root mine. Like the M8, most apps that I have no need for can be disabled through the app manager. The only benefit of rooting my phone would be to be able to use Titanium Backup, but I've learned to live without it... Since I keep installed apps to a minimum, stock is all I need....
Definitly yes.. I think without root AND s-off you don't really own your device [emoji6] that's just my statement [emoji106]
Any Android phone in my hands will be rooted/s-off and custom rom/kernel with tweaks within the hour of getting it, no hesitation..
It's the sole reason i pick Android over IOS

Thats my idea too, rooted right away last weekend got it on saturday and sunday i got root.
ViperOne is my favorite for a long time (htc sensantion)
I'm on the fence. The only reason I can see right now for rooting, is having multiple user accounts, and battery / performance tweaks.
As for the first I can live without that. The second one, right now I do not believe is possible. It'll only be possible to improve battery by limiting the power of the phone which is a shame.
If we root the device, will it still get software upgrades to the stock (now rooted) rom?
If so, Is there anything that cant be done when rooted that would not allow this to work? (ie, maybe removing a stock app, or disabling an app that the system (non rooted) wont let you disable, having custom recovery)?
Let me know thanks!
Not sure yet. There are updates that will come to fix certain aspects of the phone.
No xposed framework which is one of the main reasons I root.
Also if I unlock the bootloader it will delete all my data, and I'm too lazy to re-install everything on my phone all over again.
hmm. Is the bootloader locked on the "unlocked" version? I already set up my wifes phone last night after a few hours of getting it all setup (the way i like it ) i wouldnt want to have to start all over again

Rooting doesn't improve anything. It allows you to access the system root (ie c:/windows/) which on android is locked away from users.
If you are going to root, it is only really worth it if you plan to s-off (security off) which allows you to run unsigned code, gives better leaway on recovering a borked device and gives read/write access to all partitions on the device.
Beamed in by telepathy.

This method does not work due to complications from SELinux and dm-verity. Sorry guys, looks like the Note 4 can't be rooted at this time :/
Feeling generous? PM me an Amazon gift card!
DISCLAIMER:
Code:
Your warranty is now void. I nor XDA is responsible for the effects this may have on your device or your life, whether that be bricking, loss of data, combustion, nuclear war, or the election of businessmen as President (wait what).
Remember, its not root that puts your device in danger, its how you use it.
If you don't know what a locked bootloader is, or think that Chainfire is a new video game, you shouldn't be here, go read a little about Android and the Galaxy Note 4 before continuing
So let's begin:
What You'll Need:
This *experimental* firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767141025
Kingroot, SuperSume, and FlashFire, all available from this zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298935732
This modified "from-noship" pre-rooted OC6: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862707318
What To Do:
Step 1: Goin' Wayy Down
Use ODIN to flash the experimental firmware.
MASTER CAUTION: This will wipe ALL data on the device!! Backup your stuff before proceeding. I nor XDA is responsible for loss of your memes!
Simply flash the .TAR.MD5 file in the zip using the AP slot in ODIN, and then wait for the phone to boot (which is literally all of 10 seconds).
Step 2: Our Old Friend
After the OS is installed, go to the file manager and install Flashfire, Kingroot, and SuperSume
Open Kingroot and use it to root, the in-app instructions will guide you through.
After you've gotten root with KingRoot, open SuperSume, grant it root, and press the big blue button, let it do its thing.
When its done, SuperSU will open and ask you to update the binaries, hit continue, then hit "normal". When its done hit "OK", don't reboot (you don't need to).
At this point you've got root! Now, let's get back to the present!
Step 3: Back to the Future!
Open FlashFire, grant it root access, and flash the modified OC6 with these settings:
Mount /system read/write
A wipe isn't required, but it is recommended (if you do wipe, make sure to put that card B E F O R E the flash zip/ota card!)
Hit "flash", let it flash, reboot, and load.
Disclaimer: I have not personally tested this firmware before release, but it should work. However, I make no guarantees!
Guess what? You're done!
I worked to get your phone rooted, I hope now you guys can get some ROMs going!

Does this root work for 6.0.1 PK1? Or do I need to b on 5.1.1 ?
Also I'm tempted to try but it's a definite wait for my because I've had this phone since it came out an I was just at AT&T last night to trade an upgrade. I'm going back next week an upgrading to iPhone 7+ 128gb because there is no Notes devices and I really don't want Galaxy S7 when in a month or 2 the S8 is coming.

The root is universal. No matter what firmware you are on, you still have to flash the experimental firmware with ODIN. That's what's so beautiful about it
Also, please try not to quote the entire OP, it clutters up the thread

Yea I agree with you but don't have $400 to put down on a phone. A buddy of mine has OnePlus3 got it on release. But personally I don't have to money to buy a phone every couple months. I normally wait like every 2 an half years. iPhone 7 isn't my favorite choice but I do miss iMessage and iPhone seems there always a new jailbreak coming out might have to wait 6 months but I've waited over 2 years for a root on this phone.
Thanks for releasing this root! I'll b checking the forums an see how this is going!

No, we can't do that because the locked bootloader won't allow a systemless root, which would be necessary for rooting marshmallow. We can, however, make UNrooted marshmallow ROMs.
Hi !
Thank's For This, I Have Tried This Experimental Rom Before, And It's Worked Fine Without Any Problems (We Can Also Back To The Officiel Firmware With Odin), But I Never Tried To Root.
So, I Need To Know If We Could Install An Other Custom Rom ?

We can install custom TouchWiz ROMs, but you would need to install the pre-rooted OC6 in the OP first (if you want to use 5.0). Unfortunately we still can't get AOSP ROMs working because that would need a new Kernel and the locked bootloader doesn't allow it.
Post #2 has been updated with ODIN recovery files.
Nice work!
I seem to be a little lost here, but can we use/make rooted MM ROMs after doing the steps in OP?

No we can't. No rooted MM ROMs, but you can make rooted LP ROMs

Feel free to take a look at the Galaxy s5 forums, we're in the same boat
Also I may have made a mistake in the OP. I'd like you guys to hold off on trying it until I fix it. Thanks!
