Hey can anyone help me with updating my phone which is on V3.25 I can't download the updated because my phone's rooted I don't want to unroot my phone without formatting
Try to uninstall magisk with "replacing the original files", then try to se if you can OTA. If not, you'll have to reinstall everything.

Hello there,
Last Sunday I updated my SuperUser apk to the latest version and attempted to update the SuperUser binary to 3.0.6 through the SuperUser app. The update process failed, however, and left me without a working binary. The last 2 days I've been trying to get SuperUser back up using all sorts of things, such as flashing a .zip from the SuperUser website, pushing the contents myself, and using both SuperOneClick and FlashTool, but to no avail. I really need SuperUser because of the limited hard disk in the X8.
I was hoping someone knew of another way of fixing this problem.
Also, is restoring the stock ROM (which I'm using anyways) using PCC or SEUS an option to getting my phone fully unrooted so I can reroot it?
Thanks in advance, Thom
Yes, you can restore the stock ROM via SEUS or PCC, you can re-root later.
It happened to me on sunday when i update superuser, i was using gingercruzt... i lost the root access i was not able to restore all my apps with titanium backup! so, i reinstalled gingercruzt. luck!
For me updated su works fine. Just install and update binary.
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
when i updated the binary, i lost the root access too...
is not necessary restore the original rom.
step1:
make a backup
step 2:
just download “su-3.0-bin-efgh-signed” and flash via CWM
step3:
enjoy again
step4:
remeber never again update the [email protected]%& binary

if it doesn't work, try other SU's like 3.0.1-bin
Hello, my firs post but not last . When I was root x8 15 days before, I installed xRecovery and link2sd, and another app. So, after I update superuser to 3.06, I lost root permissions. Now, there is no chance to access to xRecovery menu, with meny times clicking (I never didn't update android 2.1 to another version 2.2 or 2.3....).
Any help?
Does anybody know how to resolve this?? Please...

Thanks for reply.
Yes, I am sure . What you think, whether to again try to root my x8 whit superoneclick?
okay so I tried the ota for lollipop so many times but always 'cannot install update' pops up after reboot. I read a few threads here and I learned that the best way is to install a stock firmware then update to LP. btw my phone is C5502, i installed superSU but i have it permanently unrooted and was successful. Also i installed busybox but uninstalled it now. I have a foldermount but it's not working since i have no root anymore. Plus my phone is still bootlocked, i guess. anyone can help me what to do since I cant do flashing without a computer. I'll really appreciate some help here.

I'v this problem too but i get over it by updating by sony pc compination
OTA will often fail if you have changed anything in the system.
Root, uninstalled a system app so to do a OTA you will have to undo the changes and also se that there are no left over files.

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...
Okay so i did a clean install of the stock rom (Pie) with May update. Flashed all the files and was finally at the home screen. Got a notification for June security patch and i installed it immediately. Keep in mind till now no modifications were done to the phone including rooting, the rom is stock, clean and without any modifications. The only thing unlocked is my bootloader.
I observed when the update reaches around 80% it says update unsuccessful. No changes were made to the system. I tried downloading the update again, rebooting, formating/wiping data both via stock recovery as well as TWRP, factory reset. Even tried updating without SD-card just in case. Again flashed the full stock rom but to no avail, the update was not successful.
Any ideas why i can't apply june update and how am i supposed to solve this? Thanks

Clear data of all the ported apps(or the apps which are not installed from playstore) and then uninstall these apps and then try to install June update . Same thing works for me. It showing same error to me but after doing these things my phone updated successfully.

I have no ported apps. As i said, its stock rom with no modifications. I didn't install any app from anywhere. The only apps i have in my phone are pre-installed apps which come with the stock rom such as Google Drive, Play Books.. I even tried clearing the data of the pre-installed apps but still no update. Also today i tried flashing the retail version of the stock rom with may security update. I think there is an issue as i flashed the retail version of the rom, the about section from the settings app still shows software channel as "Retin". Shouldn't it be showing retail version

You have to flash the first pie update (November patch) and then you can do updates.
Hi, my device currently on China ROM v2.20 and rooted with Magisk. Is it safe to OTA update to China ROM v2.21?
When I read about Magisk I found it:
"Magisk works systemless-ly, and it doesn’t modify or alter your system partition. If you want to install a banking application or if you want to install official OTA updates, and much more. You can install the OTA updates without losing the root privileges, and that is everyone need. They don’t need to root again and again."
Anyone dare to try?
