I am on stock root right now and want to unroot to tke the OTA firmwre update. Whats my best way to unroot. Looks like the CM team method is not applicable for firmware above LF9. Is there an updated or alternative method?
Thanks,
***EDIT..
Sorry, forgot to add that I do not want to D/L a new stock ROM, I want to stay on the current ROM I have, just unroot.
Thanks,
Answered my own question after some research.
1. Flash stock recovery with Odin or mobile odin
2. Copy update file to Extsd
3. Boot into stock recovery
4. Flash Update.zip
5. Odin CWM recovery.zip
6. Flash "root from recovery.zip" with CWM
Good to go.
Thanks,
Hi all,
I'm on 4.4.3. I did the full conversion on my at&t m8. I s-off and completely rooted with twrp recovery.
I'd like to flash the 4.4.4 ruu but i think that's going to wipe my phone, it did last time at least. Is there any way I can flash it via recovery so I wont lose my data? Is there any other option?
I enjoy stock unmolested vanilla android, I shouldve gone with a GPE version, but its initial investment was just too much
Manually flash the OTA after you've flashed the stock recovery from the 4.4.3 RUU

seems easy enough? can u provide a quick how to or share a link?
1. Extract the stock recovery from the 4.4.3 RUU and flash it using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
2. Download the OTA package from the OTA thread in General
3. Copy to the phone
4. Boot into the stock recovery
5. Select to flash the update from SD card
6. Choose the new OTA
7. Profit
You can then flash TWRP re-root the phone

Due to some problems I rooted my note 2 gt-n7100 using king root and successfully installed twrp custom recovery 2.8.0.1.
And now I am experiencing some problems due to it. So I need to uninstall or remove and I need my old android recovery to be installed in my device. Please help me as soon as you see this message.
You can download the phone's stock rom from sammobile.com, extract the recovery, and flash it.
If you want to make it simpler, you can re-flash the entire ROM which will return the phone to a stock configuration.
BTW, there is no need to root before installing TWRP. You can install TWRP from Odin and then, if you want root, flash supersu.zip from TWRP.
Why? i can't root j200gu in last update.
And can't downgrade....help me please!!
You need to flash twrp as a custom recovery and flash your desired root application
first time trying to root phone. still have some questions.
i have the sgh-i317.
i want to go from kit kat to marsmallow.
are these the right steps?
1. root phone - does phone have to be unlocked first or does CF autoroot take care of that?
- cf autoroot looks like it provides a stock recovery. from what i read i think i need something like the ClockworkMod recovery to flash a custom rom. is that right?
2. flash rom
does it matter which ROM?
i see 2 that are popular - cyanide and resurrection remix
thanks
No need to root the phone before installing a custom recovery.
I recommend TWRP over cwm as cwm is very outdated.
seems the more reading i do the more confused i get. just trying not to brick my phone.
1. i've read that the bootloader needs to be unlocked in order to install custom roms. is that true? i cant seem to figure out if mine is locked or not
2. next i need to install a custom recovery like TWRP?
3. then the custom rom? like resurrection rom
do i need to be rooted for any of these steps to work?
