Hi folks,
I previously rooted my HOX M8 using a guide from these forums and hasoon2000's tool.
turned out I had to do S-OFF as well and in the last 6 mnths I haven't had time to look into this properly so I'd like to "unroot" the phone again.
Is this possible? Is there a guide here for this? (I did do a search around but I couldn't find anything)
The main reason for wanting to do this is the phone is still under warranty and it has the issue where the keyboard keeps disappearing and wont come back without a restart, so I'd like to return it. Also there is an OTA update pending from way back and it would be nice to do that before attempting returning.
Thanks, N

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?

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

Hi guys,
I rooted my phone a few days back after I bought it and then just wanted to see if I can unroot it following the How TOs on the forums and I used one of the stock roms for Virgin Mobile but I didn't pay attention to the build of it. As it turns out, it was 1.23.351.1, so I am now on 1.23.351.1 and UNROOTED. I found a guide how to downgrade but it seems like it only works for ROOTED phones. I can't get past the part where I have to enter SU to have SuperUser access and I assume it's because the phone is not rooted and SuperUser Permissions is not installed.

Unfortunately I don't think its possible to root from anything 1.22+

Tried a factory reset (after backing up your SD card, ofc)?
Yeah, I just tried that but that doesn't change the ROM or anything
Maybe, I'll call HTC and complain about something to get a replacement, what can I complain about that will get me a replacement
Hi all
I recently purchased an LG G3 mobile and it is running lollipop 5.0 on o2 and I would like to change a few things 1. change the colour of that orange top in the messaging app - people have told me I need root for this so my question is:
What is the best and safest root process for me to use as I have never rooted before and havnt got a clue, I just do not want to break the mobile as its brand new. I don't want it to change any counters, timers, warrantys or do anything else and especially I do NOT want it to stop me getting OTA android updates
thank you hope somebody can help me cheers

Hi there.
As soon as you root any phone you immediately lose your warranty. However if you ever need to send it for repair, you can easily revert the process these days.
LG, unlike Samsung, has not what you call "timers" meaning a record if you have rooted and how many times you have flashed your phone so you are pretty safe on that aspect as LG cannot tell. Even on Samsung these days there are ways to revert the so called "timers" to null.
Once you root your phone you will also lose the capability of OTA's but as I said this can be easily undone...you unroot, update the OTA and root again. (if a root method is available for that specific version of OTA which usually is and if not it comes out usually in a few days/weeks)
Hope this clarifies your doubts.
***One word of advice: read, read and read. Rooting and flashing custom ROMS is fun and custom ROMS are way better than stock. Just take your time to learn and don't be in a hurry. This way nothing will happen to your phone.
Hope this helps you and if I did please press the thanks button.

thank you very much for your info, so I shall just use the link posted about and root that way. Although I DO NOT intend to use a custom rom. one of the reasons I want to root is to get rid of the stupid Mcafee app that comes on the LG G3

Yes mate just follow that tutorial and you will be alright. Don't forget to read well first so that you will know what you are doing and nothing wrong will happen.
You don't have to install custom ROMS though. There are an immense amount of things you will be able to do to your phone once rooted.
Enjoy!
Hi everyone. Happy New Year.
Today morning, I told my wife she can't unlock my phone, and so she tries unlocking the pattern many times, and then all of sudden the phone auto factory reset.
I have a unrooted verizon VS98535B LG G3 phone.
I managed to recover the sd card files through my pc, but i can't recover the one in the droid phone. Tried many software and they can't seem to detect the phone. I think it must be because there isn't a drive letter in the PC for it to read.
So, i have a couple of questions before i root.
1. What software should i use to root once to recover files and then unroot it?
2. The reason i would want it unroot is so that i could receive the OTA updates later on.
3. I would also want to sell my phone in the future.
4. What recover software works best for internal memory too?
Thanks!

I tried stump & towelroot, it did not work for me. Am going to try ioroot next. Cross finger.
It seems that ioroot cannot find matching phone model.
and when it goes into the stock recovery mode, there's a sleeping android with exclamation mark saying no command.
Tried LG One Click Root, and it got stuck at 90% with my phone showing 0%. Sigh.

Alright so... Apparently I rooted my phone at some point and over the years my phone has gotten really slow. After Googling a bit I found my phone is still on 7.0 when it should be on 8.0 and that confused me a bit until I realized I rooted my phone at some point when I dug up some Android files on my computer. I found this website and discovered I had an account here, so I looked up my posts and found I had used a guide to root my phone located here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/howto-moto-z-play-unlock-root-t3508547
After reading around for quite some time I learned that apparently I had to unlock the bootloader to root this phone when on most devices you don't have to apparently, making rooting this device not as simple as just installing an app and pressing a few buttons like on some phones. The guide talks a lot about fastboot and flashing and I have no idea how to follow these steps as it feels like there are steps between steps that are missing since everyone else here already seems to know what to do without including how to do certain steps.
After hours of reading through threads I decided that I wanted to just flash my phone back to a fresh unrooted version of Android and then install the updates OTA. I just spent hours backing up all my apps with Helium until I realized it couldn't backup some apps, so I then Googled and discovered Titanium Backup and backed up everything again through it. Well... why the apps were backing up I stumbled upon a thread here that said I would brick my phone if I flashed back to the original version of Android on this phone then tried to update to the newest version OTA.
Well now I'm a bit paranoid and am hoping someone here can walk me through how to upgrade my rooted Moto Z Play running Android 7.0 to Android 8.0 without bricking it, or throw a guide my way that explains how to do this for simpletons like me.
TL: DR - I suffer from amnesia and don't remember how I ended up rooting my phone, and need to find someone that can explain to someone who is not knowledgeable like me how to upgrade my rooted Moto Z Play to Android 8.0 since my phone is running like hot garbage after all these years.
Thank you in advance to anyone who spent any time reading this wall of text
After messing around for over 12 hours I surprisingly got my phone in a working rooted state on Android Oreo 8.0 without bricking it... But there's one snag. Each time I boot my phone, I first get the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" (Bootloader unlocked warning) and then it takes me straight into TWRP. Even if I hit Reboot and select "System" it just loops back into TWRP. The only way I can get into my phone it seems is to boot into the bootloader then select start. Not really a big deal, but it's still annoying.
I'm hoping this is something that requires an easy fix and that someone is willing to guide me through it.
