[Q] Do TempRoot changes "disappear" following factory reset of htc unlocking?
OK, ready to root my new stock rezound. I would love to have a backup of my current stock phone, complete with installed apps, contacts, etc.
So..... must I temp root to back up my present apps, contacts, and settings? Will the temp root process create differences to my stock phone even though I'll be doing a factory reset when I unlock the bootloader?
My question is really, will my phone be identical following both scenarios:
1. Don't temp root --- just unlock bootloader, factory reset, permanent root.
2. Temp root, backup apps, settings, contacts. Then unlock bootloader, factory reset, permanent root.
Unlocking the boot loader will erase all the data on the phone (except the sd card) so the factory reset step is not needed. If you want to make a backup then yes you will have to do that before you unlock.

Yes, if you're backing up with an app like Titanium, you can restore the backup after you unlock/perm-root. SSDD

My phone was rooted using Super One click prior to updating to 4.1.57. I updated my Atrix without unrooting. The update took, but now I'm unable to unroot my phone. No mods were installed. Only Titanium back up. Please help. How do I remove superuser? I tried using Super One Click, but it states "running psneuter."
I had to do a factory reset after updating my rooted phone in order to get all the apps that I had frozen with TI backup. The reset also removed the superuser app icon.
Thanks, but factory reset failed to remove super user for me.
root atrix
to my feel exactly the same with my atrix and not to restore it to values of manufactures have been able to remove the root icon.
Thank you if you find the solution the make me know and I hare the same with you
Been out of the loop for a while so I'm sure a lot has changed. Need to run Google Wallet but I have a few questions first:
1) Can I root this phone without losing any data/settings, or does the root process do a factory reset?
2) If anything goes wrong is there a procedure to restore the VZW factory image?
3) I have a VRUAME7 build. Does this in fact mean I have to use a special root process?
Thanks everyone.
[Q] Factory reset after following "How to Update to VRUEMJ7 and Keep Root" guide?
I followed the "How to Update to VRUEMJ7 and Keep Root" guide and had a question about doing a factory reset afterwards. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I do a factory reset, I will lose root and won't be able to re-root since VRUEMJ7 does not have a root method. Correct?
The reason I ask is because I've been having weird issues with a few apps showing graphics artifacts and then crashing (namely Google Now and 1Weather). For example, when I open up Google Now, the "cards" start to slide in and then I get graphics artifacts and then it closes. No error, no force close message, nothing. However, it doesn't always do it and if I go back a second time to Google Now, it usually opens just fine.

No. A FDR or factory data reset, is just that.
A reset but doesn't change the system partitions of the phone only resets the parameters and accounts.
There are multiple ways to lose root but unless you manually unroot, install an OTA, reinstall the OS via KIES or Odin, you retain root.
You will have to reinstall supersu or whatever root manager you use, unless you converted it to a system app. Then the fdr wouldnt touch it.
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
Hey guys,
I was looking to do the perm root via Hasoon2000's AIO tool but quickly discovered that it does a full wipe / factory reset in the process and I don't want to go through the process of setting everything up again if I can avoid it.
So, the question is: Is there a temporary root method yet I can use to run Titanium Backup and store my apps / data prior to unlocking bootloader / rooting?
I tried using the WeakSauce app but apparently it only works for the Verizon M8?
Thanks!

I know this was asked before, but I couldn't find any definitive answers for this, so bear with me here.
Exactly how much data will I lose by rooting via CF-Auto and Odin?
I know that unlocking BootLoader will wipe everything. I'm just not sure if CF-Auto does so
And if it does, what methods do you recommend for backing up the data I'd lose?
Thanks in advance
It does not wipe anything. However, IF something goes wrong in the process, it might require you to reset or to reinstall the original firmware, which will wipe everything. For backups, there are tons of options. Just depends on what you are trying to back up. Samsung Smart Switch does a solid job. Or there are tons of backup apps where you can just back up what you need to your storage and then drag and drop all of that to your PC for safe keeping.

Even if the bootloader is locked?
Does rooting with CF unlock the bootloader?
If CF Auto Root supports your device, it'll work. It does not unlock the bootloader.
