I searched the Magisk threads and guides, the Google and the YouTube, but it seems like the re-flashing of the ROM was only required, before the development of the Uninstaller tool, but I'm not certain.
Is this as simple as using the Magisk Uninstaller tool or will I also have to flash my backup Nandroid, created before rooting?

My fire is rooted and I have voodoo OTA rootkeeper installed, I temporary unrooted to download from amazon store, I did not restore root and now it seems that voodoo is unable to restore the root.
Is there any way to restore root without restoring and rerooting device.
No you will need to use kfu to reapply root I have had to do the same thing when a restored a backup that I had forgotten to change settings back on ota root keeper. You could also flash modaco right over your existing without wiping anything except dalvik and cache to reset your root permissions this will also give you an insecure boot.IMG that will allow for shell.
thanks for the info, but I am not sure how to do this and I forgot to mention I am using a mac.
ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 methods for flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923010 choose between the two ROM flashing methods there both with different results one is clean the other could be dirty I don't know the state of your device. Skip trying to reroot it just flash modaco.
thanks, got it working.
No problem which route did you go?
Hey,
I just flashed the stock ROM for Android Gingerbread 2.3.4, and I've been trying to root it. The DooMLoRD method doesn't work. Are there any other ways for me to root?

I'm aware of 2 different root methods for R800x on 2.3.4. This post should point you in the right direction:

Thanks man! It worked! Now how do I make it so if I do a system restore it automatically installs Superuser and Busybox? Thanks!

Cool man... Glad to hear you got it rooted. After you get the phone setup how you like it (including Superuser/SuperSU and busybox already installed ), then make a Nandroid backup in CWM. Keep a copy of that backup somewhere safe (like on your external sd card and an additional one on your computer), then you can always restore that Nandroid backup after wiping cache, wiping dalvik, and doing a factory reset in CWM. (Also.... If you mess the phone up really bad when tinkering with it, you can always use Androxyde's Flashtool to restore the phone to Stock.... then root it again /reinstall CWM, and restore that Nandroid backup. I can't tell you how many times I've had to do that when experimenting with different things on the phone).
I don't know of any other way to restore with a Superuser app and busybox already installed.... (other than to flash a ROM/Kernel that already includes these... but you will have to unlock your bootloader-- if not done already-- in order to flash custom kernels).
PS: check out Titanium Backup Pro from the Play Store if you're not familiar with it already... as it's a useful tool to let you backup individual apps and individual app data.

Does the root method you introduced to me come with CWM restore?

No. You have to install the Clockwork Mod Recovery separately.
This thread should help you to get it installed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55290171

Another way to install CWM Recovery is to use the Xparts app, (also called the CWM Auto Installer)... but you have to use an older version (v.5) for the R800x. If you'd rather use the Xparts app, then go to this thread:
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21237127 ).
Scroll to the bottom of the first post to find several versions of the app. Download and install ("CWM Installer-v5.apk").... then use the app to install CWM. I've not used this method, but others report that it works.
I would like to find out a solid way to un-xposed and un-root any ROM to gain access to snapchat. Then I can root it and xposed it when I'm ready. I had a titanium backup of snap and restored app+data but got logged off when I first launched it. I know xposed has an uninstaller so really I need to know how to fully unroot a ROM. The uninstall within SU did not work so if somebody can tell me what files need to be deleted or is there an unroot zip I can flash I'd greatly appreciate it.

theres a zip you gotta flash xposed unistaller ....should be with the xposed installer . the modules can be uninstalled prior to framework proabably best so u can verify you got em all
Here's my normal workflow when doing a clean flash. I've done this with my OnePlus One for years:
1) Install Rom with TWRP, root with SuperSU
2) Install TI Backup and restore all my apps
3) Fully unroot with SuperSU (restore stock boot, do not restore stock recovery)
I have to unroot because I use the Outlook App for work email. I've never figured out how to get around root to use Outlook. Anyway, I can't get this method to work with my new OnePlus 5T. I go through the steps and get everything reinstalled and set up the way I want, running the stock ROM. When I go to unroot, the phone gets stuck in boot with a blank screen and a greyish blue LED light. It just sits there that way for what seems like forever. I haven't left it that way for longer than about an hour, but I don't think it should take that long.
I've tried unrooting with SuperSU and it wont work. It gets stuck in boot with that LED light on. So, I started from scratch, reinstalled the ROM and everything, and rooted with Magisk. When I try to unroot with Magisk it does the same thing. It still gets stuck in boot with that light. I'm not ask familiar with Magisk and I chose the option "complete uninstall."
EDIT- I tried flashing the latest Magisk uninstaller from TWRP. The phone gets stuck in boot with the light on using this method as well.
What am I doing wrong here? How can I get rid of root after using it to install my apps with TI Backup?
In trwp go to wipe then advanced, wipe caches, system and data, do not do internal storage, then make a clean install of ur rom, make sure to always back up and I thought titanium required root anyway, so u may not be able to restore it
U may be able to just wipe caches and system and clean install ur rom and that should keep data and possible remove root, have u tired to use magisk and add app to magisk hide
Titanium does require root, but once I'm done restoring all my apps and data, I really don't use root at all anyway. I was hoping to avoid a clean install of the ROM. I'll try adding Outlook to magisk hide. Again, I'm not very familiar with Magisk, so that's a good suggestion. Thanks!
Edit- I added Outlook to the Magisk Hide list and rebooted. Outlook still says the phone is rooted and won't work. I've run into this issue in the past which is why my usual solution is to fully unroot.
I managed to get unrooted by flashing the magisk uninstaller, and rebooting to recovery all from within TWRP. Then I dirty flashed the stock ROM. Problem is, then I have to boot to download mode and reinstall TWRP from a computer using fastboot. I'm still looking for an easier way of unrooting.
Hello Everyone,
I am looking forward to try some custom roms on my OP7T, but I want to take full backup of my current rom before proceeding further.
As twrp do not fully support OP7T yet I m bit confused how to perform this backup.
It would be really helpful if someone could help me with my questions. Can I use twrp to perform backup like I have done with the older phones and Android versions, if not can anyone suggest me any other method to do so.
I guess this is a very rookie question but every pro is once a rookie ?
Currently Using
OnePlus 7T India
Open Beta 8 Installed
Rooted with magisk
Using Edxposed
Using twrp via fastboot boot only
Hello @rajat.lohani,
Unfortunately, for 4 years of experience changing roms, I have not found a single universal tool. I'm doing a partial data backup:
1. I use the app "swift backup pro" to backup apps, messages, call logs, and wifi passwords.
2. Save contacts via the standard app.
3. Take a screenshot of all the modules magisk and xposed, so as not to forget.
4. I Move all the data to the computer and start the flash rom process.
There is also such a program for automating the entire process:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844032
But I don't use it, just because I'm used to doing everything manually.
If I need to restore all the data, I just flash oxygen os and move all the data from the PC to the phone and restore in order.
There are two disadvantages:
1. That you need to install all magisk and xposed modules manually.
2. All system settings are lost and you need to configure everything again.
In General, the entire process of restoring stock firmware takes about 1.5 hours.

thanks buddy let's see if someone can suggest me some good tools to do so as backing us everything manually is a very tedious process?
