today kies says that there is a firmware update, it seems to be gingerbread!!
my doubt is if it is going to remove the root privileges from my galaxy...
any idea?
thanks bye
I imagine it will wipe your device clean and therefore yes it will remove root.
What I'd be interested to know is whether this has the locked bootloader business included. Anyone know?
First Yes THIS IS GINGERBREAD
Second Yes it will remove root

Confirmed!
Root removed... and now?
Now what? oh you want to root. Head to the dev section and get CF root kernel if you want to root access.
Superoneclick roots gingerbread, right?
does it remove the unlock of simlock (i.e. restore simlock??)
does it remove the unlock of simlock (i.e. restore simlock as in the ios devices??)

nope.
you have to flash the kernel CF root 3.3 via Odin to get root.

Do you have to change the N1 RECOVERY to enable ROOT?
No.
You can root with superoneclick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682) or unlock your bootloader and root it by hand (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13446089)

Excellent! Just what I wanted to hear!

Actually, it's the opposite: You have to root to change recovery, unless you unlocked bootloader.
Unless something has changed in the past few days, you DO need to change recovery to root. The only way to root stock GRJ22 is to flash SU.zip, and you can only do that with non-stock recovery.

Yes, correct. But how are you going to flash a custom recovery without root?
As was said before, if you are on GRJ22, you only have two options to root:
1) unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery and flash ChainsDD's Superuser update;
2) downgrade to Froyo by flashing one of the leaked Froyo shipped ROM (FRG33 or FRG83) via the bootloader, root that and update to Gingerbread the proper way...
I agree, you need root before you can flash a custom recovery.
Your option #2 is what I used. I downgraded to Froyo, then upgraded to 2.3.3, then rooted with Gingerbreak, installed custom recovery using clockworkmod app, and THEN upgraded to 2.3.4 with stock recovery folder removed which allows you to install SU.zip.
It's a few extra steps over unlocking the bootloader, but it doesn't take long and may be worth doing to not have to unlock the bootloader.

Yup. Sounds good.
Or, you can just unlock your bootloader and never have to worry about losing root ever again... and besides, I haven't heard of any individual saying that HTC refused warranty service because of an unlocked bootloader...
My bootloader has been unlocked for months!
I thought I did this right, guess not...
Had STOCK KK7, rooted. I was under the impression, from what I read, that if you HAD root in KK7, and Kies updated to LA4, it would retain root, but mine didn't.
I tried to OTA update, but the update failed twice.
Stuck with non root til someone figures out how to root LA4?

After updating with Kies you always loose root.
Downgrade to a older rom (KK7) with Odin, root it with InitialCFRoot and than read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784 (espacialy 3.2).
Good luck

If you are rooted with KK7 and want to update LA4 with root intact, you hav to update it with CWM/Mobile odin pro. You updated your device with Kies, n thats Y U lose Root
Now you need is
Downgrade to Rootable ROM (e.g.KK7)
Root it
Update to LA4 with mobile odin/CWM

Hi all,
Just updated to Sony's latest offering .266 and, obviously, lost ROOT access.
Has anyone any info on how to re-root? I am on a locked bootloader and cannot unlock it.
Please advise? I have lost all of my custom settings and cannot change until I have root access.

There's no root method for locked bootloader for 4.3 as for now. Or you can try the root method by sir @jancsessz tho you'll need to downgrade it back to 4.1.2. Didn't work for me tho but worth a try :silly:

Soo first you'd want to downgrade to 4.1.2 which can be easily done using flashtool
And then use Doomlord's method. This one is for .245 and .254
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405933
When you've done rooting you'll need CWM. Not sure about the original thread but here's the download link
http://d-h.st/Las
Extract and run the install.bat after rooting and you'll get both root access and CWM
Then follow the tutorial from earlier to update to 4.3 and voila! :victory:
It is a new update. Why are we so unpatience? Let the developers work on this!

Be patient my friend it just went out.Doomlord and the other developers will be working like crazy to root the new firmware and in about 3 days you are going to run 4.3 rooted
So I rooted Z1 with Towelroot a few months ago.
I dont know what happened, SuperSU suddenly fails to update the binaries and Permanent Unroot doesnt work , Freedom has problems with partitons. Root Explorer is read-only.
So I think my phone is half-rooted cos OTA says no, Root Checker, Titanium says yes, Busybox says yes but fails to install.
Do I fix it by rerooting? I dont wanna unlock bootloader (void warranty) and flash firmware. Or is there any way to unroot and reroot?

If it's about Freedom, NO, that's not the point.
Come on dont be a d**k, help him
OP, looks like your phone bugged
please reflash an ftf of 133 or 108, so u will lose root completely and u can do a complete root again
do not have to clear data in flashtool
topic. thanks!
No. Not by accepting an OTA update. You'll have to update and re root.
what about getting rid of the update notification? is it possible to get rid of it?

Yes you can. Install ota rootkeeper from playstore.
Sent from my LG-H815
I don't even get the update when I check since it has been modified in an "unauthorized way"
You can update via odin. Not through an OTA. Root has still not been written for 5.1.1, so if you want to keep root, don't update.

Dont Update!!!!!!! Not only do you lose root BUT you also lose your unlocked bootloader and you cant flash custom recoveries anymore until someone comes up with a method and you can't downgrade.

The bootloader is still unlocked. It's custom recoveries like TWRP that need to be updated to work in conjunction with the new bootloader. That's all.
