Is it possible to change the tfs emoji file without rooting or unrootung afterwards but keeping the emojis changed? Only reason I use root and now the banking apps are getting better and better at detecting the root.
no, because of the system is read only.
If you have TWRP and a flashable zip (not for magisk) you dont need root I guess.
Maybe this is helpfull:

does any apps know if you've changed the recovery?

I dont think so, correct me if I'm wrong.
Bootloader unlock is detectable.

Apologies for the very simple question, but I've yet to find a definitive yes/no answer on this.
I'm interested in:
- unlocking the bootloader
- rooting my nexus
With a view to install root-enabled apps like Titanium etc.
I DO NOT want to install any custom ROM (at least for the time being!) as I am happy with stock ICS 4.0.4
If I do the above (unlock & root) - will I still be notified about and be able to install OTA updates from Google?
(I'm on yakju)

you will be notified and assuming you still have the stock recovery and not CWM and do not modify any system files, you can install it.

Yes.

Really though...it's the best way.
If you want to use other methods *cough* toolkits *cough* they'll probably work.
But if you end up soft bricking your phone at some point (Trust me. You will.) You'll want the tools in place (and know that they're working and how to use them) to get you unstuck.

Thanks.
So, I assume form your answer that unlocking and rooting does not modify the system files enough to break ota?

unlock: no
root: no
the problem is, most root methods flash clockwork recovery. this does break OTA.

Hi.
I'll read through your guide - looks good.
However, you seem to imply that to get root, I have to install a custom recovery??
Is there a separate step to simply install root using the default recovery?
Easiest method...
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#yakju
You can (and should) download the factory images.
From there...unzip the .tar and the .zip inside of it.
The .zip contains a recovery.img
Flash that using my guide...post 3, I believe...detailing alternative (in this case, stock) recoveries after rooting.

To expand on what Zepius said:
1) unlocking does not modify any system files at all.
2) "rooting" just means place two files on your system partition. Nothing more. As long as you don't modify or delete files already there, you can add whatever files you want.

You do not need to install a custom recovery to root. Booting a custom recovery allows you to do the same thing. In Jubakuba's guide, replace
fastboot flash recovery <name-of-recovery.img>
with
fastboot boot <name-of-recovery.img>
and it will temporarily boot the custom recovery from your PC.
Hello,
at the moment I have a HTC 10 with normal root and xposed.
But I would like to have the option of installing OTA updates and I have some question:
- Is there any advantage between system and systemless root except OTA/Android Pay? Or is it still better to use system root?
- Can I still flash a custom kernel and other mods in TWRP?
- What do I need for systemless root and systemless xposed?
- Are there any disadvantages?
And it would be awesome if someone could give me a full guide how to do this.
I would start with flashing a RUU, but what should I do after that?
Thanks in advance!
I can't say anything about systemless Xposed, but I've been wondering about it. Main thing I want to know is if it will play nice with Android Pay. Right now, I'd rather have Android Pay than Xposed, but I'd like both.
As for systemless root, yes, you can still flash custom kernels thru TWRP. I'm running @flar2's Elemental X and have run them both successfully on LeeDroid and Venom. Some mods may have to have some special prep if they're not baked into a rom, such as AdAway, to work properly with systemless root.
The disadvantages to systemless root, to this point have been you can't run Xposed on it (not sure how it works now), and root is broken on some poorly coded apps, like ES File Explorer.
The easiest way to install systemless root now is just to install a rom. Put TWRP on and pick a rom. Both LeeDroid and Viper have options for systemless root. You're up and working out of the box with nothing special to do.

Have a look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268
That's the reason why I'm asking - OTA is working, but Android Pay not (for me it doesn't matter. I never used android pay).
But I want to stay on Stock ROM, no Custom ROMs. I just want the ability to download and install OTA updates.
Edit: Well, I see that I still need stock recovery for OTA updates. It doesn't make sense to install systemless root, because I have stock system-image backup and stock recovery.
Is there any advantage between system and systemless root except OTA/Android Pay? Or is it still better to use system root?

I am in the same position, just got the phone and want to install systemless root, systemless xposed and systemless Adaway... Mainly the reason I want this is because I dont want to s-off (you cant flash newer firmwares that come with updates) or I dont want to restore system and performing update after that... I just want stock rom with elementalx and those xposed goodies I want it so that when I get a notification about update, I dont need to backup anything, flash anything, just install update regularly like all normal people BUT still after update have root and xposed
I think its possible, but I have to do a little research before I get on with it.. Now first step is unlock bootloader

Even with systemless root you have to restore stock recovery to use OTA updates
Well, I have a look at this next weekend when I have some more time.
Or I just try a custom ROM... :laugh:

Yes but the amazing thing is that after you flash everything you want, you can immediately restore stock recovery and have stock recovery all the time after you have everything systemless
Then if you want to flash something you flash TWRP.. otherwise you just leave re-flashed stock recovery

Hello, I will receive my HTC 10 on Friday, and I all I want is to root and install Xposed Framework (A kernel would be nice too, but it's not a must) but I do want to receive OTA's and not having to flash the Rom each time that I want to update...
So if I root my phone Systemless, will I be able to Install Xposed (and a kernel) so when I receive an OTA, I just flash the stock kernel and install the update, then flash twrp again, without losing root or my data?
If so, how do I systemless root?
Thanks! :good:
I've seen posts instructing how to root via SuperSu and Magisk; I know those methods have to be done a certain way because of the partition system. But I have not seen any posts about Kingroot. Would it work the successfully? I imagine it going like this:
1) root with Kingroot
2) boot to TWRP via ADB
3) flash TWRP
4) flash SuperSU if desired
Or
4) if desired, flash a kernel, flash Magisk, flash TWRP again
5) boot to system, uninstall Kingroot
Does that sound right? Would Kingroot even work to begin with?

Why use kingroot? Remove the first step and you basically have hot to flash su..

True, but if you happen to want to root while away from a computer it could be useful.
In any case, it was simply a curiosity about whether it would even work at all. I doubt I'd ever use Kingroot for my Pixel.

Oh okay. I was just curious. I haven't tried kingroot but since rooting requires patching the boot.img and I don't know if you can do that while booted into the OS I'd say no. I am only assuming how kingroot works but again whatever the solution it needs to be able to make changes to the boot.img without already having root privs.
The closest solution I would see is having twrp already loaded.

Even if it did work it wouldn't work the way you are describing. King Root basically acts like malware and refuses to give root privileges to any app that interferes with its functioning. Adaway won't work with King Root because adware is part of the King Root program. You also wouldn't be able to install SU while King Root is on your phone. King Root will actively prevent you from installing any other root program. People used to be able to do what you describe but King Root was updated to prevent you from installing SU.
Is this possible?
I unfortunately have to install a corporate app which won't install if the phone is rooted. Is it possible to put a custom rom and unroot?

I'm pretty sure all you have to do is not flash root when you're done flashing your custom rom of choice and you would be good to go, i could be wrong though. Or have you tried hiding root from your corporate app in magisk before? I

JR313 is exactly right :good: However, some of the custom rom features may not work without root. Then again, I've never tried it, so I could be wrong as well ?

Use Magisk to hide root (Magisk Hide in the Magisk Manager app) for the corporate app, the same as hiding Android Pay etc from root. Just make sure you hide it before you open the app.
I have a OnePlus 7T, it was rooted but now i cant uninstall magisk or re root my device, i download (Magisk-uninstaller-20200323.zip) but the problem i cant flash it.
1- i lost root
2- i can't install it again
Its like its stuck in between, which mean rooted apps doesn't work again and baking apps doesn't work because it detects root by some how.
any suggestions how to either Reroot it or Completely remove it
Regards
Abdullah

Have you tried going through the root process like new with a downloaded clean image? Also might want to try a forced OOS update. This should wipe your root when you reboot.
