Hey guys, what's the safest and easiest way to put my Sprint LG G3 phone back to a good warranty status so I can take it back to exchange for the Note 4? Since I didn't install any different ROMs or kernels or anything like that, is all I need to do is unroot? And I can do with stump root, right? They won't be able to easily see I rooted my device when I take in tomorrow?
EDIT: I just ran the Root Cleanup in SuperSu. Hope that does the trick.
EDIT 2: That didn't work. It simply froze during the uninstall :\
Why don't you just flash to stock via TOT or KDZ? It's easier that way and leaves no traces of Stump.

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.

then click the image to install it.

Rooting the phone is really easy, infact you can do it without even using a PC (towelroot). At the moment there is no custom recovery, but hopefully we will see that change once the phone is released in more countries (later this week).
As for unroot, one simple method would be to re-flash stock, but I assume you are looking for an easier solution than that.
That's what I am looking for too because of the bloody Barclays Bank app.
I want to root my LG G3, block ads, bloatware etc and then unroot to get Barklays app working
S4min, Grand 2, Note 2 - I always rooted phones and then unrooted by uninstalling root in SuperSu app.
Is there any similar method for LG G3?
Re-flashing to unroot doesn't make sense for me cos I will loose everything I needed the root for

I don't have my G3 yet to check (and not sure I will be rooting it straight away when I do get it, I want to see how far I can go without root first), but I cannot see why the unroot method in SuperSU would not work.

Flashing back to stock should take you back as if you have never rooted. Assuming all you did was root the phone.
If/when there are further modifications such as unlocking bootloader and flashing custom recovery images this might change.
So I've been browsin the web, trying to decide if I should should root or not. There are many threads about it, but some contradict the other, and some don't seem like the correct answer, so I just wanted to get some clarification on the questions I had. I have the T-mobile G3
1) Does rooting remove the ability to get OTA updates? Or can you still update, but it'll remove root?
2) If I root my G3 and delete the T-mobile apps, will I not be able to un-root back to stock? Is that what freezing the apps is for?
3) How difficult is it to get back to stock?
4) If I un-root the phone, is it possible to root again?
5) Right now, is stump root the best/ easiest way to root the G3 (tmobile) ?
Thanks for the help
Hi,
Currently using Stump Root for root access.
I need to remove root for work related app. What is the easiest way for me to get back to the way my device used to be? Will factory reset work?
Thanks
I would imagine it depends on what variant you are running. I am on the Verizon VS985 and I have to use the TOT file to go back to stock.
I do believe you will have to grab the "TOT" file and run that with the LG flash tool to go back to complete stock.
If you have xposed installed you can use "Root Cloak" module to hide root.
in certain apps.
Information for returning to stock should be in the development section. Along with the files needed.
You will definitely want to check there first for your specific device before trying to return to stock.
*If I have helped you please hit the thanks ?*

Hello everyone
I have just received a replacement LG G3 D855 after cracking the screen on my original. I used SuperSU to root my device to uninstall a load of bloatware system apps. I then tried to unroot my phone because a) Sky Go doesn't work on rooted devices and b) I wanted to update to Lollipop officially as I had done on my old device. I am also unable to reroot with SuperSU as it cannot install the binaries required.
Is anyone able to provide me with assistance in either properly unrooting, or rerooting and then installing Lollipop by other means and hiding root from Sky Go? I have searched other threads but I have no knowledge about recovery modes or flashing. I am on Three in the UK. Thanks

Thanks guys, I'll give it a go
Thank you very much that was incredibly simple - installed lollipop through the PC suite, keeping my apps without reinstalling bloatware, great!
