I got to remove safestrap but do not know how to unroot under. 905. What do I use to unroot and take the OTA?
Voodoo Root Keeper from the Play Store. It lets you unroot temporarily, then restore after you take the OTA.
Thanks. I did use that, and root checker basic said that i was unrooted. I still could not process the OTA.

My Moto X is rooted, but other than that, it's pretty much stock. I'm aware of how to flash back to stock using RSD Lite and Jcase's new root method, but my question is: Do I have to do all of that?
Can't I simply use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to temp unroot and then take the 4.4 OTA? I am not running a custom recovery.
Has anyone tried this?

Try and guarantee it will result in bootloops, obviously you are using one of jcases root methods which hijacks the stock recovery
Unfortunately there is no easy way around it afraik.
Just rsdlite back to stock, except the ota and root with jcases new slapmymoto.

I forgot about the bootloader. I thought part of the root process was restoring it. What a shame. Thanks!

I had my S5 rooted with towel root but then took the Ota update and lost root. Soft card doesn't work due to phone having been rooted. What is the easiest way to remove traces of root now that I've already lost it?
Thanks

This will wipe your phone but will get rid of root, follow troubleshooting method in the bottom of post one "NCE downgrade" then just take the ota again.

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.

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.
Sorry for such a basic question. I rooted my Moto X quite a while ago. It is still on 4.2.2, the phone asks me to update every day and I just decline it. How can I update it to a newer version without losing root or causing any issues??
Thanks in advance!
You'll have to lose the root first. But may I suggest you explore the option of unlocking your bootloader 1st before updating as you won't be able to unlock it once you do the update to latest firmware.

Unroot + Update, then Root again...
Thank you both for the replies. Yes, I'd like to unlock bootloader. I don't remember exactly what I used to root since it was a while ago. I believe it was an app. Does it matter? What's the easiest way to unlock bootloader?
How do I unroot since I don't remember exactly how I rooted? Then once I unlock bootloader do I try to get the auto update from Sprint or download the update somewhere?
Thanks again!

You can unroot by the su app but you don't have to be unrooted to take ota's. Just have stock recovery and your stock ROM. If I were you, I wouldn't update the bootloader, so you can easily go back. Lots of complaints about 5.1. So go unlock the bootloader first with root, flash twrp, and then flash this ROM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3155843
Then if you don't like stock lollipop, you can go back. Lots of people like 4.4.4. This ROM doesn't update the boot loader

Hello,
Please, I was wondering if someone could help me on how to update stock 8.0 rooted moto g6. I don't want to lose root. I have flashfire but I don't know where the phone stores the Ota once it downloads it.
Thanks.

You can't
You have to flash to stock. Then reroot. I wouldnt recommend using flashfire unless a guide on here has said to. these devices are a little advanced to root so you must read everything also. No skimming please.
Is there a reason you can't re-root after OTA?
