I think I must've made a nandroid backup of my stock rom after twrp installed the SuperSU Installer automatically. Now every time I do a factory restore, the SuperSU Installer notice pops up. I need to do an exchange on the phone and needless to say, this will raise some eyebrows.
I was able to unroot and remove SuperSU but it always comes back after a factory restore. How can I permanently remove it? Perhaps I can erase it from my nandroid backup?
Thanks!

Im in the same boat everything set to stock apart from this keeps popping up on factory reset. Anybody??
I'm having the same issue, can't get rid of superSU . Isn't there any solution for this except for going through the whole process of rooting and s-off again?

This is just a thought but do you use Google or HTC Backup? They will automatically load your previous apps on your phone after it is restored. I generally stop Google Play Store from updating after a restore. That way I can restore just the apps that I want on the phone.

No it is in the system apps so it can't be removed without rooting I guess :/

Have you tried to uninstall SuperSU thru the Google Play Store? If you installed SuperSU you might be able to uninstall it there, if a custom rom installed it depending on how they installed it you might not be so lucky. My only other thought would be to run the RUU for your version which will take it back to stock, install a custom recovery only and make another nandroid backup. This one should be clean of SuperSU since you didn't root before the nandroid.

I had an issue where google talk kept force closing on opening. I'm rooted so I thought it was a good idea since I backed up everything via titanium backup when I first switched over to uninstall it via Titanium, then reinstall it. Of course now for whatever reason titanium doesn't give me the ability to restore the application. Anyone know how to fix this? I think I just need the google apps apk but I don't know where to get the most recent package of them. I had google talk 1.3 installed and its different for froyo. I can always go back to my original nandroid backup if its not possible but I'd lose all the customizations and app installs/uninstalls since. Thanks for the help.
Flash the rom you have installed again.
Rooted (stock) VZW moto x
A couple days ago my phone app started force closing immediately upon opening it every time. It doesn't work at all now. I am rooted, but I rooted weeks ago and this just started yesterday or the day before. I haven't messed with anything. The only thing that I have done is download apps from the play store... None of which 'should' mess with the phone app.
I have since downloaded an alternative dialer app which works, but I'd rather use stock. I tried rebooting, tried clearing the app's cache and data (in system settings - apps) and no luck.
Any help would be great. Either finding/fixing the issue or a way to reinstall the stock phone app? I am rooted and I believe write protection is off, which I had to do to install busybox. Thanks!

What version are you on. 4.2.2 or 4.4
There is a couple things i would try i have had to do it with other phone specially my old S3
1. restore from a backup when i the dialer was not FC
2. try reinstalling the dialer from the APK located here device/system/prvi-app/dialer.apk
3. pull the dialer.apk out of the correct stock ROM or recover img and replace the one located in the above folder and install it.
but to be honest option one is normally the best way to go and the fastest.
Thanks. I'm on 4.4. I'm going to try option 2 when i get home. I'm not exactly sure how to restore a backup on this phone yet being that i dont really have a recovery.
Edit: option 2 installed ok, but still force closes
let me get you the .apk from the restore img give me about a hour to download it and get you a link
also do you know how to use titanium backup if so i would install it and back up all user apps and data because you might have to do a factory reset. but if you backup with TB you and restore everything right back to ware you was
I tried removing system apps with titanium backup but the phone immediately rebooted and the apps reappeared. I tried searching already and can't find out how to do it. I remember way back on my M7 that there was a mod to allow writing to system. I'd hate to have to take the ROM zip and remove things before flashing it. Does anyone know where to find this?

Sounds like you're S-on. You either need to get S-off or use a ROM with a unsecure boot.img (kernel) which will allow you to permanently write to the system partition.
Hello,
I did everything normal i booted the phone and filled in everything.
Logged in to google and it asked if i want to backup this account and i said yes. but it never asked to restore from a previous phone.
After this i updated the phone to the latest stock rom still nothing. i then did a factory reset and still did not ask me to restore
I also can't use titanium backup because my bootloader can't be unlocked for another 70 hours and therefore i can't flash twrp and magisk
I was thinking about kingoroot maybe but it's not systemless and might give me problems in the future :/
Does anyone have some advice?
Thanks
Well i just tried kingo root both the apk and then the pc version but neither worked...
Hi!
I previously had rooted my S7 Edge with Super SU v2.79 years ago but now I want to switch to Magisk because I need to hide root from certain apps. Magisk fails to install saying:
! Boot image patched by unsupported programs
! Please restore to stock boot image.

From here I read I can try unSU. But in my case it did not work. How exactly can I fix this now? As I understand I need to reflash some stock images? But what exactly is the minimum requirement? Just boot.img? Or system? Also if I don't want to loose my apps, data, config, can I flash them without loosing them? Or if not is it possible to hide root while still using SuperSU since I really don't want to lose my data/apps/config.
You get the info to restore the stock boot image, which is just the kernel image. As you are rooted right now, use a backup tool like Swift Backup (full version is paid) or Neo backup (FOSS) to backup all app data and apps and personal data in case something goes wrong. Backup that stuff to your PC of course, saving all data that was created by the backup app and your other stuff. Then flash stock kernel, test if all is good and stick to Magisk stable plus needed modules.
Next time please provide all system data like used (custom?) ROM and Android version. If you use a custom ROM you need to revert to the unrooted custom ROM kernel of course.
Thank you for your response!
I am not rooted currently as I uninstalled Super SU but I think I can install it back if needed. Will flashing stock kernel always cause app data to be lost? Or is there chance that it does not get touched? As for ROM I use stock android 7 rom. I am not sure where and if can I still find it.
I don't really trust backup because because previous attempts have ended up with boot loops and broken apps. If there is chance that that app data stays intact without backup then I might try it but if the process factory resets everything and then relies on restoring backup as one part of the process then for now I would try to come up with some other solution.
Also will it cause all the stock bloatware to come back or is the kernel separate from apps?

to back up use smart switch in pc, to install magisk is recommended to flash stock firmware first and instal magisk to avoid issues like bootloops
