Hey, i want to unroot my p8 lite. I rooted it with twrp.(2.78) Can anyone give me files to flash that will unroot my phone?
Open supersu app, go to settings tab and choose full unroot. Then if you want, flash stock recovery and relock bootloader

i know there is a flashable zip that unroot but i cant find it...
Try to remove supersu app from /system/app and then download it from gplay -> It should be 'normal' app you can delete easily.. After that flash stock boot.img for fw version you have. If it works, When you open supersu it says su binaries fail etc. Then just remove supersu
Edit: You do everything on your own.. I just give possible ideas but don't blame me if something goes wrong

Is it possible for me to install the binary su and the superUser apk myself with stock ROM and recovery so I can still get the OTA updates? I have S-OFF with revone currently on android 4.2.
Thanks

Yes its possible. In fact, last time I used to install binary and apk on top of stock ROM. I flash it from here:

So where do I need to push su and the apk? I thought su needed to be in the system partition which I can't access.

Follow these steps :
1) Download SU binary+APK and put it in the sdcard. The downloaded file is a flashable zip.
2) Unlock bootloader (Can be done using HTCDev)
3) Flash custom recovery
4) Enter recovery then flash the zip file you just put in step 1.
5) Wait till it finish flashing, then reboot, you should be rooted now.

As far as I know, you just have to flash your stock recovery whenever you want to do ota updates. I converted my one to a developers edition a while back and whenever an ota update came out, i would flash my recovery, update, then put twrp back on. It never gave me any trouble because of my root.

Aaah, sorry for the confusion, i mean on stock ROM and not recovery. I'm not really sure if its possible to flash the superuser zip in stock recovery or not. I think its not possible. If you want official OTA, if im not mistaken, it doesnt really matter which recovery you're on. Just use twrp and flash the superuser zip and you're good to go..

You have to have stock recovery to get a true ota update. That is how it updates. If you download an ota update, first thing it does is go into recovery to flash it. It will end up going into your custom recovery and just sitting there. Your phone firmware and hboot must match the one of the current rom, but it has to have stock recovery to do the actual update. First time it boots after ota, you may loose your su, but just put custom recovery back on and flash it real quick and you should be good to go then you can flash back to stock recovery and twrp should fix your root if it has a problem. I hope this helps. You know you can just download the updates and flash them yourself too. Btw, newest 3.22 rom sucks! It has many problems that are all over the forums. Proximity sensor has gone to hell, and your messages contact pictures disappear every time you get a new text.

Okay, thats new for me, never know that we need to be on stock recovery for official update.
That's why I never wait for OTA.. I used ROM in this forum and so far I never have any issue that U mention above..
I have a rooted XT1068 and there is an official OTA update to 5.0.2, should I install it? Do I lose my root access?

You have to "Full unroot" in SuperSU settings and restore the stock recovery. Otherwise OTA will fail. After the OTA is installed, You can easily return to TWRP and flash SuperSU.
okay thanks! also instead of twrp could I use chainfire again?
Unfortunately, i tried to install OTA and now every time i turn on my phone it reboots and tries to install 5.02 only to get an error and it stays at twrp menu. So what can i do now?
lol after many reboots phone decided to tell me that update was unsuccessful so it works again.
more details pls for a beginner
I made the same mistake trying to flash OTA 5.02 over rooted device 4.4.4 . I got out of the loop by moving the download zip from system/cache to external sd...
just wanting to make sure I do all the right things and in order:
so in Super SU I go the FULL UNROOT
how do I then restore stock recovery?
Once I I have restored it what are the steps for the zip and install via stock recovery?
sorry about the boring questions - it's still a bit of a jungle for a beginner

Sure. But why? Twrp is superior in every aspect. It's like deliberately crippling your toaster so that only one slice fits.
Will I be able to install ota updates with stock recovery and after unroot if I do changes to /system?

Nice imagination.
But why do I often read that TWRP will be overwritten by Lollipop with custom recovery when rebooting the phone? Some people therefore recommend the Chainfire CF-Auto-Root instead.
So after unlocking bootloader can I flash TWRP in fastboot mode and superSU afterwards without those kind of problems?

It's a "feature" introduced by google for their nexus. I will quote the twrp website:
The stock ROM will automatically replace TWRP with the stock recovery. To prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP, boot TWRP, go to the mount menu and mount system, press the home button, then press Advanced ->File Manager. Browse to /system and select the file named recovery-from-boot.p then choose to rename the file to recovery-from-boot.bak
Or you flash the SuperSU.zip. That will prevent the override too.

Thx a lot for your explantion.
This was one of the things that irritated me right from the start when I was checking out the possibilities of custom recovery/root within 5.0.
I heard about the file-renaming thing but didn´t realize that superSu will do the job too and that it is a Nexus "feature" at all.
Helped me very much!
I just bought my nexus 6 and only have a pc to use for one day and wanted to know the best, safe way to root this phone. It's a Google play edition.

Realy dude? Tons of threads of how to root with 6.0.1.
Anyway here are the basics:
- Enable oem unlocking and usb debugging in developer options
- Unlock the bootloader: Boot into fastboot and in cmd type: fastboot oem unlock (will wipe your phone so backup first!), reboot
- Flash or boot into TWRP, do NOT modify system if TWRP asks you to.
- Flash the latest systemless superSU.2.67 root zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344, TWRP will ask you to root, ignore that!
- Reboot and install BusyBox from Play
- Done.
Don't i have to install the files for the computer and all that for the drivers and download such stuff?

Yes, you have to install the sdk platform-tools in order to do this. Look here for a fast and easy way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979.

You can unroot from within the superSU app or flash the UPDATE-unSU.zip in recovery and reroot. Next version of TWRP will probably be compatible with systemless root.

Leave it as it is if you have no issues, but both methods used at the same time on the same phone can cause problems with root and permissions.

You will get OTA, after Root also, but after updating your root will gone, recovery will replaced by Stock recovery, and if You are decrypted after update
it will get encrypted.

It allows local upgrade, but it has not much flexibility like TWRP.
I've just updated from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3 and here's how my "OTA" was working:
1) Got notification that the update is available
2) Went to XDA to download OOS 4.0.3. full ROM zip, TWRP 3.1.4.1 image and Magisk 11.1 root
3) rebooted to TWRP, flashed new ROM, Magisk root and TWRP image.
As far as I know, that's the only sure way to update your phone while keeping root and TWRP.
Does it pass safety net?

I'm sorry, i didn't fully understand what you were trying to say here
But i'll take a wild guess and tell you that in TWRP you always need to flash full ROM, not OTA version. Otherwise your phone won't boot.
