My primary and only ROM is a stock rom with magisk root and xposed.
I was wondering if there was a way to multi-boot into another stock rom that is free from root and/or xposed, a completely clean ROM while leaving my primary one intact? I want to use it to play games like Fortnite that are very strict on what you can have on your phone to be able to play.
Edit: Made some clarifications.

I'm pretty new to Android but I thought to run custom ROMs you had to be rooted but someone mentioned that it might be possible to root, load a custom ROM, then unroot while keeping the custom ROM?
I have corporate email through Mobile Iron and it does not allow rooted devices. I'd like to be able to use a custom ROM but wasn't aware that it might be possible.
Through search I found this but it was somewhat inconclusive and it's for a Galaxy Note: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766538
You can do that, but highly not recommended. The ROM itself might need root access to control certain options. Also, there isn't anything bad about keeping root.

yes, very possible. you dont need root to have a custom recovery. you can always flash a rom of choice and delete the superuser binaries and app.then you wont have root. and youll still be able to flash other roms(youll have to delete the root stuff again). just temwber that without root some option in the rom wont work.
You don't need to "root" to install a custom ROM. You just need to unlock the bootloader and use a custom recovery to flash it.
After you've installed the ROM, feel free to remove the root access, or simply disallow apps from being granted superuser access. Just be aware that many features in ROMs are created with the assumption that the user will keep the phone rooted, so they may not work properly (or at all) when you remove root privilages.
I am in the same exact situation. I just stumbled upon this post. I run Bugless Beast on my GNex and I asked the dev if it could be unrooted by removing SU and superuser and the answer was yes. I won't find out if thats the case until January, but if you get it to work please post here. I am going to be the admin for our MobileIron deployment but I don't have enough pull to make a separate policy for myself that allows root. Don't really wanna lose my job

Yes you can but shouldn't. Due to because the rom itself might need root access to run. Lets say you overclocked or underclocked then root access is required from when you boot into your phone otherwise. Well I don't know after that. But to answer you question yes you can.
With all this garbage about blocking rooted users from games like Pokemon Go. I was wondering if dual booting could be a solution. Is it possible to dual boot with one stock ROM and no root to play the games on and then the other a custom ROM rooted for everyday phone use? I am assuming some type of partitioning would be required to keep SafetyNet from scanning the custom rooted ROM on the device. Is this possible does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about doing it?
Pokémon Go doesn't work with Magisk systemless root?

No not anymore not since the last two updates to SafetyNet over the last couple weeks.
There is a MultiROM out there, just try it out.

Hello.
Can I install any roms without a rooting on my mi-max?
I don't like bloated apps on my mi-max.
So I tried to use Debloter 3.90, but it didn't work.
I have considered to try to root my mi-max to erase all bloat apps, but I don't want to root my phone too.
All banking apps from Korea are working only on the phone what have been unrooted.
So... my questions are...
1st: Can i install any roms without a rooting on my mi-max? and will it work correctly?
Because of the reason that I wrote above, I don't want a pre-rooted rom.
On any pre-rooted rom, I will never can use any banking apps even if I try to unroot.
2nd: If I can't, Is there any app replacing Debloter 3.90?
Hi,
I'm not brand new in rooting, but seems like I messed up.
So I would like to root my LG G3 (D855) and install custom rom, so here are few questions about it.
1) I would like to make full backup of my current rom (all apps, settings, everything included) in a case if I will have to return to stock rom. How do I do it?
2) I know how to root my phone and install custom rom, which one would you recommend me? I would like to install android Noughat 7.1
3) after installing that rom how do I root it once again? Last time when I rooted and installed custom rom, seems like my phone wasn't rooted anymore after installing it
4) on that custom rom, I would like to play Pokemon Go, which requiers unrooted phone (even if my phone wasn't rooted, or at least i think it wasn't. I was still unable to play pokemon go, was it due custom rom?). So any method to play Pokemon GO on that custom rom.
Thank you all in advance
UP. No help?
Just don't install LineageOS 14.1 (Nougat) or one based on it as if your device is rooted, you will have problems trying to get root back! I have tried EVERY method on here and recommended and NOTHING! GRRR!
AFAIK, Pokemon Go will work on a rooted phone. I managed to use it on my rooted S7 last year. I don't know where you heard this, or perhaps, they have changed it recently so you can't..
Hello
I have a Lenovo P2a42 UK version on 3 mobile.
I haven't rooted a phone before and would like to know how to root my phone.
Firstly, should I root to stock android first and then consider other ROMs?
Secondly, should I root from the UK version (SO56) to the ROW version (S232)?
Finally, what is the best way of rooting to LineageOS in a secure way? What is the best site to download the necessary files?
Sorry for all the questions but any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Firstly, should I root to stock android first and then consider other ROMs?
A. My opinion move to custom rom unless you need led notification light.
Finally, what is the best way of rooting to LineageOS in a secure way? What is the best site to download the necessary files?
A. see the comment 1,2,3,4 on any custom rom thread or simply download aad on su from :- https://download.lineageos.org/extras
and flash it using twrp (remember change data to ext4 otherwise root may not work)
Secondly, should I root from the UK version (SO56) to the ROW version (S232)?
A. i didnt understand what is rooting s056uk to s232
Hit thanks if i've helped

Entirely up to you, but I'd upgrade to the newer stock ROM for now rather than using a custom ROM. You will lose VOLTE support and some other features, like the battery saving switch / LED notifications.
If you do plan on rooting, use the guide in the TWRP post here on the Lenovo P2 forums. However, it'd be wise to read up on what you can actually do with root. Myself, I rooted in order to install a custom boot animation (tricky and not the standard method on Lenovo stock ROM), change fonts (a little frivolous considering you're losing warranty for it), and mainly to add a hosts file for system wide ad blocking. You can use magisk to root (there's a forum dedicated to it) but I have had quite a few problems with it.
Also, if you root, you lose access to some apps such as android pay, and lose access to features in certain apps (banking apps for example). Magisk claims to work around these problems, but it's tricky to install and upgrade and doesn't always work. I almost got stuck in a bootloop using the default uninstaller, and had to modify the installer by hand in order to get newer versions to install. On top of that, the magisk module system doesn't seem to work, at least on my device.
Whatever happens, let us know what you choose to do and how you get on.
