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.

I followed exact to your instructions, still the update did not work.
Update failed to install.
I made sure I was on .352
Rooted with Vroot and then installed Dualrecovery (https://mega.co.nz/#!zNBjCLgK!RloqhT1DzO4mYQgmbDXsZycDjHlFjTL-eSonTz4VBX4)
Flashed (in Recovery) pre-rooted 257 fw (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440408) + BusyBox/SU (http://d-h.st/M10)
Flashed (in Flashtool) kernel/baseband from 257 stock tft (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191)
Restarted phone and everything have been working flawlessly since. Reinstalled recovery.

Sorry for wasting you time man. I know it is very frustrating not to get your device rooted. But it worked for me. I'll just try to do this again and let you know. Hope I'll not loose my root (fingers crossed).

Yeah it works great, I have tried it too but it comes with a cost of loosing some stock apps, installed apps and data. Wouldn't it be great if we can just do the OTA update without having to loose anything and also keep root?
Thanks for trying again, I'm starting to think that it's my phone or region's problem. I tried a lot of different methods but none worked.
Sad case for me...

Hmm, it turns out to be like this.
Once you are on 14.1.G.1.534,
1. Root it with VROOT, Install Super Su Pro, update binaries and enable survival mode*.
2. Reboot and unroot using VROOT and reroot then update Super Su binaries.
3. Repeat Step 2 twice.
4. Now try to do the OTA update.
Let please let me know if this didn't work. Thanks and good luck.

Hey if you really think that wrong place is the reason for sure, then try to connect to net via hotspot sheild vpn or some vpn you prefer and then download the OTA update, I know I'm just being stupid but just give it a try. To me it makes sense to some extent.
Are you telling me or killyo ?

Simply unrooting probably won't work, if it does then you're lucky. If not, then I would just flash the entire ML2 Odin package. Also, this should probably be posted in the Q&A section.
You should also use a more descriptive title so that someone else with the same issue who actually does a search before posting can find it.
Title says all, sick of the battery drain from lollipop, will this downgrade work?
Only if you are rooted.

Correct, i am on the G900A_OF3_Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_ROM
and i'll be using the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE file.
So all should work fine?
Thanks

Yes, if you are rooted then that file will work. I have used it many times. The only thing to keep in mind is the lag you may start experiencing. There is a thread since where on here that talks about how to fix the lag after the downgrade but i can't find it. If i do i'll post it for you.

thanks so much for replying i thought this section was dead..
Can i just downgrade the bootloader back so i can avoid the lag and issues all together? because it's laggy and when i try to wake the phone back up it will just still be a black screen and i have to pull the battery out to fix it frequently and it's ever since this oa1 boot loader i installed.

I only have used the downgrade file i haven't used the other one to remove the lag. Did you follow the thread i posted to you in the vision X thread that explains how to do everything.

Hi Experts,
I have searched the forum and after flashing for three sleepless nights, I am still struck with the unknown baseband issue.
The details are:
C6903
BL Unlocked & now its locked using Flashtool (DRM or TA backup is unavailable )
Currently the phone is struck in boot loop in .534
Used Flashtool ver. 0.9.22.3 & 0.9.18.6
Latest EMMA & Xperia Companion
My phone hanged when listening to the music and when I force restarted the unknown baseband showed up. While flashing I got the baseband back after flashing .518 however it hanged again after two days and I lost the BB
Now I am struck in boot loops on .534 and .518 both. I can boot into .290 successfully. Can someone please guide me to the correct method of restoring my IMEI permanently.
P.S. As per my short experience with C6903, I believe something stops the boot of .534 and .518 after first boot. Means I was not able to boot into .534 but accidentally when I flashed .518, my phone booted successfully. However now I am unable to boot into .518. May be I am missing the piece of puzzle that an expert can provide.
Thanks in advance~

Thanks for your tip but I have already tried and still get struck in bootloop.
No .534 FTF has booted until now and I have used 6 of them already...
An update is that I have rooted 4.4.4 and installed recovery...
can someone tell me where can I get .534 zip to flash as the files I have are giving me verification error on TWRP.
Thanks in advance...
I have tried to use NUT fix but the files are not available for downloading.
I would really appreciate if someone can direct me to the correct path. I am almost giving up now...

Hi again, Really appreciate your help.
I have tried flashing a number of files but still in vain. What I really can't understand is .518 was the last 4.2.2 rom that booted successfully on my phone and brought my baseband back. Now .534 and .518 are both ending in a bootloop at Sony animation Really driving me crazy...
As a side note, can you tell me if the modem files in the link below are useful for this issue?

By the way I am really amazed with the Z1 ability to handle abuse that I have thrown at it during the last 2 weeks
Changing phone is not an option for me right now. Using Nokia 1100 after a long time seems very uncomfortable and can't do it for long

Thx for the tip but its not working.
My SIm was only detected once thats when I installed .518 but it lasted for a day and got held. When I force restarted the phone it was again missing baseband.
Now it isnt booting into .518 or .534.
Experts am I asking something that is un-do-able...
Guys shall I give up fixing this phone
I loved this dead beauty...
Hi, tried to flash with different cables as I don't have Sony original cable with me but the results are still the same. No luck with .534 and baseband is still unknown...
I understand this is a free community and people are free to determine if they wanna help someone or not. However I just wanna know if this is repairable or shall I just forget about repairing it. Any inputs will be highly appreciated.

I have realized that the phone does not shuts down with the power button in any bootable rom. Also sometimes the baseband does appear soon after installation but it disappears as sim is inserted. Can someone plz help me understand whats going wrong. I really love this phone...
