Hi all.
My goal is to use the stock firmware with rooted access.but after I root it, I couldnt get the stock firmware update anymore.I searched online for unroot information, but they all involves flash the whole firmware. Even though I can do that. But the back up and the fact I have to do it everutime there is an update just makes it too tedious to accomplish.
Is there a quick way to unroot mu phone just so I can get the official firmware update?
Thank you. Any help would be appreciated
Unfortunately no.
Deleting SU (superuser) would just remove the app.
That's one of the sacrifices from rooting, backin up restoring and flashing
There are many great ROMs that are up to date. Use Tinanium Back up to make a .zip of your apps.

Hi..sorry if this has been answered, but I don't see it on t-mobile.
I am planning to root my phone to run the regionlock (hopefully unlock sim). Getting confused with all the different methods available.
I don't want to trip Knox..was planning to use RDLV, but then read something about Kingo, but that wasn't listed as a method for rooting on the FAQ?
So what's the difference? Is one better than other? I also read that any installation of ROMs will trigger the knox? So if I rooted, how can I get to the newest firmware? Just unroot and update OTA?
If you are 4.3 you can root without tripping knox. I used RDLV I felt is was safer. XDA removed Kingo, it may not be safe. I know many have used it and are a big fan of Kingo. I did not like idea of some third party rooting my phone, they can do anything they choose to do. That is just my personal choice.
If you are 4.4.2 Kitkat, the rooting method available will trip Knox.
OTA, will not work automatically. You will need to use Odin. There are threads on how to all the above.
I am stock rooted 4.3, I have not jump on the Kitkat wagon yet. There are mixed reviews on moving to Kitkat.
Good luck and enjoy!

Thanks. if I stay rooted but want to move up to Kitkat but not use custom ROM, can I flash the offical firmware? And would that trigger KNOX? I read any flashing ROM will trigger it too? This is much more complicated...did this stuff a few years ago with HTC...now there's so much more stuff to consider

i think you can flash to 4.4.2 (KitKat) using odin mobile pro without triggering knox, at least that's what i've read on here that others have done successfully. if you want to upgrade you'll need to upgrade your bootloader too. keep in mind that once you do this, you can't revert or downgrade back to jellybean 4.3 or downgrade the bootloader (knox requires a signed bootloader to go with a signed official ROM, apparently).
personally if i were you i'd stay on jellybean 4.3 and use the root de la vega method. i'm a bit miffed mine came with 4.4.2 already on it.
i miss how easy it all was back on HTC too could root, flash recovery, ROM, kernel, and return to factory settings like new. *sigh*

Do you mean flashing 4.4.2 official rom which will become unroot again right? How about going to 4.4.2 and stay root with stock type ROM..not customized?

if you go the mobile odin pro route, it should root it again for you if it gets unrooted
you can get the steps on how to upgrade to 4.4.2 and keep root with knox 0x0 using mobile odin pro on this thread:

I saw in that thread, he spent $4 for odin pro?
Hi all,
I've been away from XDA for a while. meantime, my phone went back to stock and upgraded to the latest official E98820C-SEA-XX version. Now I got spare time to play with my phone and it won't allow me to root.
I've tried TowelRoot, Stomp Root and SRS One Click too. All of them cannot help. Is there any other way to root the phone in current state or do I need to downgrade it back to 4.1.2 and then root it?
thanks and regards,
Spidy.
Edit:
now I can root successfully by F240 method. But still not able to flash a suitable recovery. FreeGee is not supported on this rom.

Hi guys.
i will install a custom recovery and root my m8 gpe, so i can install titanium backup and retrieve my wifi passwords since google didn't backed them up.
i want to know how can i unroot after doing this so i can take an OTA.
does unroot in supersu app works? it leaves any traces of root? also i know that i need to reinstall the stock recovery.

I don't believe this works (OTA will still fail).
Restore the stock nandroid you made before root. Otherwise, find a stock nandroid posted in one of the collections.
Currently I am running g925tuvu3doi1 and I was wondering if I should take the OTA to g925tuvu3doj7 the reason why I ask is because I want to root my phone without tripping knox and was hoping someone would come up with a root method. I don't want to upgrade and risk that I cannot downgrade if a root method does come out. Is there any way to flash the update through odin without flashing the new bootloader?
