Hello, my phone is Xiaomi Mi5s Pro (4/128gb variant), global stable rom, which atm has no screen assembly attached (phone dropped in liquid, managed to recover most of it, just the screen died) which is a bit of a problem- cannot really access recovery (or can I?) I'm controlling the phone through vysor app, unlocked bootloader. Now the issue- I rooted the phone a month ago, installed some apps and disabled few things through titanium backup (including few system apps which I need back, to backup my data for transfer to a new phone) and a week later the root got disabled after an OTA update, I tried rooting by flashing few different versions of supersu- no effect, I have no access to the recovery now anyway.
the question remains- is there any way to enable those apps again other than hard reset? I wanted to try the adb method, but this one also requires root, mayby there is a way of installing root through adb fastboot?
Any help apreciated :good:

Hello,
I read about all the amazing stuff you can do with rooting and wanted to try it myself. I searched for a while and found a program called kingroot. After reading some positive reviews I decided to go with it. I downloaded the program to my pc and rooted my phone. Once my phone is rooted, super excited me starts downloading apps wich require root. After a while I saw that some weird apps where installed on my phone (porn stuff mostly). I decided to factory reset my phone. Unfortunately, when I booted up my phone again I got some weird adds on my home screen and the weird applications were still there. I couldn't delete them because they were classified as standard apps. I downloaded king root again and unrooted my phone. After it was unrooted I did a factory reset once again. When I started up again, I saw that the weird apps were still there. I downloaden avg Antivirus and did a scan. The two apps who had mallware in them were: com.android.system and com.android.systemui. I rooted my phone again and the problems are still there. Right now I don't know what to do. What would you advice me to do?
Hi !
You have very badly read this s4-mini section ^^
There are others way for to root our phone....
I recomand to flash cwm 6.0.5.1 and then "rootkitv2" (after root ,open SuperSU for to disable knox and update binary in "normal mode" => the root is good ! )
Kigroot it's the "hell" ,a big malware !!! The worst thing ....very very bad !!! There are repports who have said that it's dangerous...
And many known apps who need root din't reconize and like at all the root with this method because there are "kiguser app" !!!! It's not the SuperSU by chainfire...
Now you have to reflash a stock firmware with odin method ....and FULL factories wipes !!! .....and root .
(Or with cwm : format&wipes ...and flash customs roms^^ )

Those malwares were installed in system partition, this is why Factory Reset (wipe of Data partition) can't solve your problem.
The best advice I can give you is to flash a STOCK ROM then :
1- If you only need root, use the corresponding version for your device of CF-AUTO-ROOT.
2- If you need root & ability to install custom roms, use Odin to flash a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) through which you can flash SuperSU.
My fiancé's Xperia Z1 compact suddenly did a surprising factory reset by itself couple days ago. To my surprise SD card has been deleted in the process as well. The phone that in the trouser's pocket. The reason remains mystery...
I recovered most data from the SD card (pictures and music mainly). However, I made attempts to recover the data from the phone as well and among certain options I tried EaseUS MobiSaver. In the process it asked to root the phone using Kingo ROOT... and to be honest if I know what problems it's going to cause, I wouldn't dare to do it. Kingo ROOT rooted the phone, EaseUS performed the scan, by memory seem to be totally wiped, so nothing from pre-reset incarnation has been found. I entered the Kingo Superuser app and ask for unroot... and that's where my problems started. The root exists and all banking apps refuse to log in (obvious reason why I don't want root anymore).
I tried to figure out what my options are, and tried to use Kingo ROOT PC app to unroot, but that fails after couple minutes without giving the reason. I tried to install SuperSU to use it's mechanism to remove root traces, but it fails to update binaries and attempt to unroot only removes SuperSU... Root checkers still shows phone is rooted. Any clues how to let SuperSU do it's job in such case?
Now, question is if anybody knows a method to wipe out damage done by Kingo ROOT using adb to restore the phone into state without root? I personally didn't touch bootloader, however I don't know what method Kingo applies to perform rooting (any clues?).
Next question to more experienced users is if I reflash the phone using Flash tool (I identified stock firmware already) am I going to face any bad side effects? Any advice, hints, clues here? What to avoid? How to do it right? Are data already collected back on the phone would remain intact? Can I eventually backup all of them (networks setting, sync setting, contacts, etc.) and restore easily?
I've seen some posts mentioning using repair option in PC companion to destructively reflash the phone to get rid of the root. Can anyone share experience?

I don't know exactly what you want to preserve, (if it's in the realm of photos / music or more in the realm of app data, etc), but I think if I were you, and I wanted to use the phone for daily, secure personal use, I would use official Sony and/or Google backup functions, (built into the phone), and then flash using Emma, (official Sony flash tool - https://developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/), or use Androxyde Flashtool if you want. Then go back to the same Sony / Google app you backed up with, and restore. Anything that's restored from Kingo will be easy to delete, since it will only be /data and not /system.
I used Link2SD to uninstall Kingo ROOT
So i'm really interested in upgrading to 7.1.2 so i can install new camera app so i can use ZSL
i've been holding off on upgrading past MM because i need my customization and control from xposed
there is an unofficial xposed, so that will help ease me over till the official gets released
my question is, what happens if i keep xposed and do the upgrade via flashfire
do i need to uninstall all my xposed modules then xposed before i upgrade?
my phone is rooted already, so i know that when i upgrade via flashfire, i will still be rooted
at the same time i want to try out magisk
if i do this, am i suppose to unroot, upgrade, then install magisk? or does it not matter
also, i will be obviously making a backup of my phone, so i should be completely safe to play around with everything right?
any advice welcomed
update
well, i messed up
everything was working, but xposed didn't play nicely, so i attempted to restore my twrp backup and now it's failing
i used adb backup twrp command and saved it directly to my pc since my 16gb didn't have enough space
i checked off everything except for the last check box efs, this created a 10gb .ab file
when i tried to restore it, it restarts the phone during/after system and boots into the google blank screen with unlock icon
the closest thing i've googled so far is this: https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/issues/133 which says it might have some issue because of the compression...
(note that i did not password protect the backup)
i'm wondering if this is the problem, can i uncompress the .ab file from my computer and manually install each of the components?
very tired and exhausted from this, hopefully someone has an idea of what i should do
I had my OnePlus 5t rooted but need some apps which are not working with rooted phones anymore and where anykind of magix hide was not working anymore.
So I un-rooted my phone and locked the bootloader again. But now these apps are still complaining about a rooted phone. How can I resolve this?
Try uninstalling these apps, then reboot, then install them again. Does it work? If not:
make a backup with your recovery (I assume it's twrp?) and clean flash your rom. Don't clear internal storage, as this will also delete your backup (you may transfer it to your pc beforehand), and it's not needed for a clean install.
If you were on Samsung I would've said you tripped Knox counter, no way to fix it but since you posted here on OP5T.... I personally never had this issue before.
Hello to the community,
I am quite new here at OP9P (had several Samsung and one Huawei smartphone before) and I have a question:
How can I backup my complete system (incl. all apps and data) on my OP9P (not rooted) with Orginal software (OOS LE2123_11_C.48) and restore it if necessary? So far I have not found a solution while searchin the net (only with rooted phone)....
It would be nice if someone from the community could give me a tip (maybe a tutorial)
Many thanks already...
Greetings from hot Bavaria/Germany
Assuming you are talking about a system image, you don't need root, but you need a custom recovery for this, which in turn requires an unlocked bootloader.
If you haven't unlocked the bootloader yet, be aware that when you unlock it the 1st time, everything on your device will be wiped. For Samsung devices, this process will trip the Knox counter permanently, and void warranty.
With root, you'll be able to backup individual apps and their data.
In short, without root, there is no way to backup app data from within the system. And without a custom recovery, you cannot take a system image.
Android Backup is pretty limited without root. iOS backups are better in this aspect because you can backup all app data.
Thx for your fast reply... This is what i thought of too... Big thx anyway bro
actually, the only known workaround to backup all app data without root is with D2D transfer apps like
Clone Phone (still that won't help you on bricked device)
How do you access the D2D (Device-to-Device) Data Transfer functionality?
So, as of Android 12, rightfully so: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/12/backup-restore For apps running on and targeting Android 12 and higher: Specifying android:allowBackup="false" does disable backups to Google Drive, but doesn’t...

Root phone?
Before rooting, you have to unlock bootloader. Doing that will wipe everything. What will he backup then?

I use FTP Server Pro along with Filezilla Client on my computer too for non-app data. i.e. Everything else. If you're rooted then you can poke about in system folders too.
Once you copy everything into a folder, it makes it easy to backup/restore the whole storage.
