Help with unrooting and relocking bootloader

Hello to anyone who decides to read this, and thank you for taking the time to haha.
I'm new here, and I'm relatively new to the whole rooting and modding scene, although I'm pretty confident in using Odin and various software involved in this, so, hopefully this won't be too complicated.
I have a question about my Note 10.1 2014. I have the WiFi model (P6000), which was bought in China since I was a student there for a year. Now I'm back in England. I flashed my ROM to a UK version so I could use Google Play services and Facebook integration, along with several other features and services which are blocked in China for various reasons. Now, my problem is, I have no real reason to have a rooted device other than for this. I also know I didn't need to root my device to flash the ROM, but I had some problems with my keyboard in China, but I have since solved them and have no use for the root. I want to take advantage of OTA updates since apparently my device should have one, but I can't because I'm rooted. Is it at all possible to unroot and lock the bootloader so I can update, without losing the ROM flash that is making my device run the UK firmware? If so, how would I go about doing this on my device? If it's not possible, is there are method in which I can update my firmware?
Sorry if I'm a little clueless about this stuff, and thanks in advance.

What rom version you're running right now? Do you have a full UK factory firmware 4.4 available?

Sorry for the late response, I was travelling.
I'm not entirely sure haha. Here's my device info, does this explain my situation?
As for the second question, I'm not entirely sure what you mean? I looked for the firmware for flashing but couldn't find a Android 4.4 version, despite my device telling me I have an available update and the internet saying my device should be updated to 4.4?

OK, you have 4.3 and waiting for 4.4 OTA update. If you open your SuperSU app, then go to settings, scroll down to "Full unroot", select that and it should unroot. After done reboot your device and verify that the SuperSU is no longer in your app draw. I don't know if you modify anything else on your device like build.props or installed any rooted apps, if you do you need to remove them ALL, unfreeze any system apps using Titanium backup and revert build.props back to factory original, BEFORE YOU UNROOT. Once everything done you should be ok to take the OTA update. The OTA update will not erase your data so you should be fine there.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I tried to option within SuperSU, but it seems to have been uninstalling for about 15 minutes with no result. I realised that I froze the stock Samsung keyboard since it overtakes the Google Chinese Pinyin Input when using a keyboard, and I work primarily in Chinese. Could this be the reason why the uninstall seems to have failed or got stuck? Not sure what to do now, oops.

Did you read my instructions?? you must un-freeze all the system apps first before unroot otherwise the OTA may failed. Let it sits for another 10 min then reboot your phone and check to see root has been removed.

Yeah, I did read the instructions. It was just a moment of stupidity on my behalf, completely forgot I'd frozen the stock keyboard. I'll leave a little longer and then reboot.

Well, it seems to have gone a little weird. I have no root access anymore but SuperSU is still installed and my device status is still custom, so the OTA update won't run. I'm guessing I ought to reroot and properly clear out/unfreeze stuff, right? Sorry for being a pain haha...

You need to remove the SuperSu app by go to playstore search for Supersu then you should see the uninstall option. The OTA failed probably because it detected that you have modified the system. You need to think what you did to your system and revert back before try again. I would just use towelroot app and reroot then unfreeze any frozen apps, then uninstall then try again. If you can't remembered what you did and the OTA stills failing, then the next step is use Odin and flash factory firmware either 4.3 or 4.4. Remember to read my instructions before and ask if in doubt before taken any action. After you re-root, make sure you use Titanium to run a full backup of all your userapps. if you don't want to be bother, then just use Odin to flash either 4.3 or 4.4 but you need to re setup and re-download all your apps.

Cannot root LG G3 (After Update)

Hi,
I got LG G3 (02, D855) and recently I updated as it required a software update. This removed root (it had root before, I installed root via the one click installer created by avicohh.). After this update I can no longer root, when I install SuperSU I get this dreadful error: there is no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it
I have tried one click installer + the GUI version as well, all seems to go well, but according to both scripts, but once I run SuperSU, it gives that error.
I've seen some posts which says I need to flash it or whatever, but I have no idea how to do this, prefer one click scripts!!
PS the software suite upgraded to latest version 5.0 Android.
Cheers
Asim

Sorry I can't help you but you have helped me... I too am rooted and last night the ota update downloaded and is now sitting on top of screen wanting me to install it.
I don't think I will now as would like to keep root.
Do you know how to get rid of the tick at top incase I accidentally install the update?
Regards diddle ?

Hi, in update center, you should be able to turn of automatic updates, also I think if you click the notification > click install later, it will ask you when to remind you, I think from this popup you should be able to abort installation.
Can't duplicate it since I already updated.

Worked asimr
Thanks for the help
Will wait till a working one click appears before I do any updates ����

Same problem as yours, after i unrooted my phone via supersu, i cant root anymore
I have tried to root the phone again in recovery mode or via adb... None of them success
Hope somebody can help :crying:

LG G3 Gold is not updating

I have a LG G3 D851 Gold that is stuck on android 4.4.2 (software version: D85110c). It tries to do an OTA update however when it tries installing it it fails halfway through and just reboots and most of the time it says the software is up to date. I tired the LG Mobile Support Tool; when I use that it says I have an update available for a few seconds and then it says my phone is up to date. I called LG, T-Mobile, and Google and they all just blamed the problem on someone else and wouldn't help me.
Any ideas? I have never rooted or flashed a phone before so I don't want do that if I don't have to.

so the phone you currently have doesn't have root access?

No, it's not rooted. I've never rooted a phone before so even doing that would be a new thing for me.
Would it help me if I rooted it?

while taking an official download you can't have root access or it'll throw you into a bootloop. In my opinion you should root so you can really customize your phone and get some pretty cool apps. If you're on kitkat there's this one click root app you can use and it's very easy,probably take you 20 minutes to get root access and install SU app.

Install on another unrooted device. Root it. Make a Titanium Backup of snapchat and restore on your phone.

Working here on viper.? It was a titanium but was previously installed on that rom.

any other ideas on how to install new updates from apkmirror.com ?

What is the other way to install updates to the system applications from apkmirror.com to my phone as I do not have root.
All the time I'm getting the message that the update is not installed.

It's not possible due to security - without root, of course.
Ping me on Telegram if you want help in rooting or etc.
