Have you tried - SuperUser - Settings - Full Unroot
Should remove the SU binaries and remove root from your phone

You need to use TriangleAway to update while rooted, and then re-root after updating. Try searching for further instructions on updating rather than unrooting - unrooting is NOT the right way to update.

Hi everyone.
First of all, i am sorry if my question has been answered somewhere. i have searched thoughout this and other sites and have asked in several threads, with no reply.
I have rooted my Gear (impactor) but my SU binary update just fails installation every time. Someone told me this is not fatal, so after 2 days, i tried the next steps and am able to load the null zip file, install it, but at the very end, with no error message, it reboots to download mode. everytime. at this point i have to use odin to load the stock recovery and start again.
No guide or comment in any thread suggests anyone has had this problem. As you can probably tell, this is all quite new to me, so I do understand that it could just be me doing something wrong, that others may take for granted.
Also, my null installation says i am installing onto a i9300 - is this normal?
1)How can i manually update the su binary (tried superuser, superuser fixer. busybox), and is that related to the rom not working?
2)Why does the installation get to the very end but then just reboot into download mode...?
I just want to be able to use this rom but nothing i try is letting me get past this stage. Any help would be appreciated massively.

Have you read the instructions ?
You need to flash the recovery first, then flash the rom. The rom is for THE GEAR, not your phone.
Right !!

Thanks for your reply.
I did read it, and i did follow it. Ive done almost nothing on my phone, and flashed the recovery(odin), moved the rom zip to the watch (adb or wondershare) - and then gone into recovery mode to install it.
Was this wrong? Or have i missed something important?

Having read and reread them, i still can not understand what you are referring to when you mention that the rom is not for my phone and that i need to flash recovery first.

Try checking out my tutorial and see if that helps ya.
Follow these instructions TO THE LETTER then flash the SuperSu.zip when you're done.
Hi, my phone keeps losing root access. I've done everthing correctly i'm sure but after a few hours root access is denied. I've tried re-rooting and flashing different recoveries and different roms but it keeps happening. I've searched through the forums but can't find any answers. Does anyone know any fixes? Thanks.

First:
DON'T use CWM! It always ****ed up my system partition and I had to restore a backup because I was unable to reroot again!
Then secondly:
Try to flash everything manually. Use this supersu zip file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 and also flash the recovery(TWRP) manually.
Maybe you need to reinstall your system.

and i did do a search. my search did not pull up that link. thanks for your help though.
Man I wish our bootloader wasn't locked. I'm also on same boat as OP. We'll have to wait until NC2 gets rooted. I wish AT&T or Samsung just release a full system NC2 image for Odin so we can just use Odin to re-flash to factory clean state.
In the meantime, please sign the petition to unlock our bootloader if you haven't yet.

When I had AT&T HTC One (M7), after getting S-OFF, I could flash to Google edition or any edition, and even get stock OTA updates. I hated the build quality of that phone though.
Will installing the stock update kill root, or worse yet brick my phone?

Can I let the phone do the update on its own with no problems?

Go to the thread i posted and read in the notes section. Download the nce file and flash in odin. This will put you phone back to factory settings. Then you should be able to take the ota. If you take the ota you won't be able to root. If you want root on lollipop then follow the instructions in that same op and it'll tell you how to get to rooted Lollipop.
Hello!
I have a Huawei Mate 9 (MHA-L29C432B190). Yesterday I tried to root my Phone to play Pokemon Go with fake gps. After I managed to root my phone, I couldn't boot into TWRP Recovery Mode anymore.
Because I still had some files I needed to flash I installed Flashfire from the PlayStore. I think after I flashed the newest Magisk version(The flash failed because of Error:1), my device got unrooted. But I think my device is still partly rooted because I can't get into Pokemon Go. Everytime I try to start it I get stuck the loading screen. So right now I can't flash anything to get my root back and I don't have the root to use alternative flash applications. I also tried to start return my phone to stock back with a update.app But it can't be installed. I also can't use "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" I always get " Writing 'recovery'...FAILED (remote:command can't be used/allowed)". And also after some reboots my oem unlock got turned off and I can't turn it on anymore.
I don't have any ideas anymore what to do. I thought I could root my device, so I could unroot properly with superuser. I tried some other application like KingRoot oder OneClickRoot but both of them don't have a rooting method for the Huawei Mate 9 yet. Btw I don't have a backup because of my naivety.
I hope you guys can help me . I appreciate any ideas
Thanks in advance

Either way I want a method to root my phone without some flash application or I want a way to return my phone to stock. Or a method to fix TWRP would be fine too.

That doesn't tell me anything. That just tells me that you tried flashing.
It doesn't tell me anything about exactly what you tried to flash or what errors you got when you flashed. I need more precise information to help you. Your simple answers aren't helping me understand anything about what you have going on with your device.
What tools have you used? What guide/instructions did you use? What files have you used? What errors did you get? What results did you get. What do mean "didn't work"? "Didn't work" can mean many things.
I might be able to help you fix your device but I can't fix ignorance.

First I tried to do a force upgrade with a "dload" folder with a update.app file on my sdcard . After booting into this upgrade mode by pressing vol up + vol down + power button my device starts to install the stock firmware, but after it reaches 5% I get the message "Error with installing" and a Link to the same site when you boot into twrp. This always happens no matter which file I use. Next I tried to do a normal upgrade by calling this number "*#*#2846579#*#*" (The dload folder is still on my sdcard). But when I start the software upgrade I get booted into twrp and like I said in my post, always when I try to get into twrp I get stuck on the "Your device is booting screen". This is what I tried and basicly every site on google is saying I should try to do one of these two methods

Stock upgrades are not going to work if you are rooted and have TWRP.
Stock updates require stock recovery and an unmodified system partition(no root).

But you have TWRP, that won't work. You need stock recovery, custom recovery can't flash stock updates.
