[q] unroot without a computer?

So my LG G3 is messed and will not connect to my computer via USB. something is wrong with the port after it got fried while charging. I have the phone rooted and need to send it in for service. Is it possible to unroot and restore the phone to original condition without being able to connect it to a computer? I can get files onto it through LG suite via WIFI if need be.

If you have SuperSU installed, it has a unroot function.

How about re-locking the bootloader and installing stock recovery.

[Q] How to root (or downgrade) NJ2 without USB connection?

I mistakenly allowed Sprint to update my phone. Towelroot was the solution to rooting without a USB connection before, but this new version is not supported.
Is there anything I can do? I assume Towelroot has no plans to update its S3 exploit, considering the age of the phone.
Thanks for any help.
(The USB port is completely destroyed - including the contacts on the PCB.)

downgrade = brick....you need to fix your USB port in order to root

Trying to root a Nexus 7 2013 with Android 5 using Towelroot

Just bought a brand new Nexus 7 2013 from newegg with android 5.0. I'm assuming it has the latest firmware.. I'd like to root it (total newbie at this, btw) but don't wish to lose all the apps I installed. I downloaded Towelroot (v3?) from the author's site but it reports "This phone currently isn't supported" when I click on "make it ra1n" to root. I'm assuming this is because of the pre-installed android 5.0. My Nexus 7 new in the box didn't come with a USB data cable (or any cable for that matter) so rooting it manually or with another toolkit doesn't seem to be an option. Is there a workaround to root a Nexus 7 2013 with Android 5.0 with towelkit or at least without using a USB cable? TIA.

Towelroot is incompatible with Lollipop. It only works on devices with a kernel build date prior to July 2014.
If you do not have a cable, How are you even able to charge the thing?
Most techniques require a PC; however' you could always try using Kingroot.
It was designed for the Galaxy S6, but works with ANY 32-bit Android Device.
I will leave a link to the thread below.

Hope this helps.

Please ignore. I am a dumbass. I didn't realize that the USB data cable is part of the breakaway USB charger cable that plugs into the AC outlet in the wall. Yes, it was included with the nexus after all. Not a promising start in my Adventures in Rooting. haha. I decided I will attempt to use the Nexus Root Toolkit as described in your response to my problem in the other topic I started since I want this to be as painless as possible. Thanks for your reply.

Root MM without PC?

I just purchased this phone and did Ota update to MM. My laptop recently died on me so I have no computer right now. Is there a app that will root my phone?
Thanks

I am using nexus 7 2013 running android 6.0 and need some help on rooting it. Problem is that the micro USB port on the tablet is broken, so i cannot use any computer or usb cable to root the device. Currently i am using Qi for charging. I have tried many One-Click Root solution but none of them seems to work.\
How would i be able to root it?
