Hi guys, need some clarification please
Have had my M7 for a few weeks now. I unlocked the bootloader and 'perm rooted' using the toolkit. It still has the stock rom on it.
I am trying to remove the root but I have read conflicting information.
1. I have managed to relock the bootloader (shows RELOCKED and TAMPERED) so does this mean I cannot put a stock ROM back on to unroot it? Do I need to unlock it, put on stock ROM and then relock it?
2. I looked at Mike1986's stock ROM but it has issues with installing paid apps. So, is there any other ROM I can use to return to stock?
I think that's why people don't like unlocking because you can't get rid relocked
I don't mind the fact that it says 'relocked' (have unlocked it again) but want to remove root if possible

You will have superuser on your phone in the settings it will say unroot after that uninstall superuser all done
I guess it's an issue of warranty. If it says 'Relocked', is it still void? I didn't know this to be an issue until I saw it, guess I was spoiled with the Gnex lines.

Tried that - pressed unroot, it closed and removed the app but it is still rooted
You sure you will still be unlocked get a root checker app and see
I am also facing the same problem. Tried the uninstall on supersu but after rebooting the phone, supersu is still there.

Yep, Tibackup and LP still have root access and SuperSU is back on reboot
Hi guys,
I did a factory reset of my phone a few days back and now I realized I can't find the calculator app and a few other stock apps. Just to check if factory resetting via the phone will cause this?
I didn't unlock the bootloader but I'm not sure if it's been unlocked before either. I bought this phone from a stranger. Anyways to check if it's been unlocked? Will appreciate any help given. Thanks in advance.

If you need to check, hold power volume down
If you need apps search general thread there in there somewhere

Yeah sometimes when you unroot you will lose some apps so best thing is to search theme and apps thread the missing apps are on there somewhere

Initially I didn't want to unlock the bootloader for fear of warranty issues, since it's been unlocked before, I'll probably start exploring custom roms, heard they're good but will lose the ability for stock it's updates.
Guess the person relocked, unroot and flashed back stock firmware?

Yeah best thing first is see if your rooted get root checker from Google play if you are just flash a rom, roms are more up to date anyway there on 4.2.2 now

Just did the check, guess it's not rooted, app told me it doesn't have proper root access.

Ok if you are lucky download super user from Google play and that might give you root, hopefully the bloke didn't unroot properly

Is it a troublesome process to reroot it?
Just follow this, you don't need to do the first step just install cwm then permanent root that should do it

Yes, but it will always say unlocked
In super user it says unroot just press that, and it's done i think lol

Are there Amy methods to root after the OTA update on ATT MOTO X? I bought a moto x and ran the update before researching on how to root it. I'm currently showing version 139.12.54.
You can't, unless you have unlocked bootloader. I don't know if you can downgrade and then follow the procedure to keep root over OTA.

No. You cannot downgrade.

Yup. I'm stuck on this boat too. Did the ota. Can't downgrade. Can't root. If there is no intention to unlock the bootloaders for At&t, then I know I'm gonna put this on swappa for cheap.
But I think I'm going to hold out for a bit seeming that I'm really liking stock, and I have other phones to Dev on. I hope unlock comes our way.

Hi all,
Like the title says, I managed to root my XT1058 on 4.4.4 (Locked B/L - AT&T), but it reverts after reboot.
Is there any way to make it stick? I don't really need an unlocked B/L, just root access.
No suggestions?
Im in the same boat

Unroot only if you have an app that needs it or you want to remove unused apps completely from your system folder. Otherwise there is no point. You will still get updates with an unlocked bootloader.
