Subject line says it all anyway to unroot phone without wiping
Sure is. Check dev section.

I did a search for unrooting, but I didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I saw one person asked about restoring to factory defaults, with a reply suggesting to reflash to v10e with the offline LG update method. However, if I haven't actually made any changes, could I just use RunMe_L9.bat again and select the unroot option, then restore to factory defaults? I'm using P769 (T-mobile) on firmware v10e.
Thanks!
If you go into supersu app under settings near the bottom there is a full unroot option.

I see, so as long as I stay on v10e, it's easy to root and unroot as needed? Is everything really that easily reversible? Frankly, I don't know why I would want to constantly root / unroot; I just want to know if it's possible. My experience with rooting on Android has been limited to CM9 on an HP Touchpad thus far.
Yea you can root and unroot as much as you like as far as I know. I've read some people on here getting the 10g update pushed to their phone while they were sleeping though, so I would keep root installed and make sure that voodoo has your root backed up at all times.
I have a e970 lgog
It is rooted and unlocked with a custom ROM
I want to do a complete master reset and bring it back to a fresh original new phone
Reason being is that I have a lot of garbage file build up and want a new start
My question is, if I do a factory reset will it affect my phone being rooted and unlocked?
Do I have to revert those before I do the reset? Or will it stay rooted and unlocked?
Any tips on the best way to do this?
Thanks
Im a n00b

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006946 Look in the FAQ. Basically you have to LGNPST (check out Teenybin Thread in Android Development), then Factory Reset through settings. That will get you back to 100% Stock. I always give very vague instructions to encourage reading. Hit up the threads, the answers are out there.
If you want to keep the same ROM, rooted, and unlocked, just Factory Reset through recovery.
That's not a vague answer right to the point

The FreeGee app will unlock your bootloader along with disable security check. Then you can delete any app you want to.

You can just root the stock ROM and from there install something like titanium backup (free) to remove the AT&T bloatware.
Unlocking the bootloader afterwards using FreeGee is optional. But I've come across a thread saying that if you root but don't unlock the bootloader and try to do a factory reset, it'll become softbricked until you use Teenybin to restore, so caution there before doing factory reset. Otherwise, root works just fine.
I rooted + unlocked my device yesterday after receiving it in the mail. I was on 4.1.2 JellyBean and FreeGee gave me a ton of warnings but I took a gamble and it paid off. Got bootloader and security check disabled and Sk8's CWM installed.
EDIT: Go to step #4 of the link to see which apps can be safely removed.
I froze all the bloatware (at&t and LG Bloatware.) I rooted and use FreeGee to unlock the bootloader. No security error. I did get a security error the first time though because i didn't use the bootloader and didn't know this could happen (the first day i got the phone.) It's really easy to unbrick it though. Just put it in download mode and use LGNPST.

It doesn't take a factory reset to get security error, a reboot or powering phone off then on will cause it.
Better to be safe than sorry but, I want to do a factory reset because my phone is acting very weird, should I unroot my phone before I do the reset and when I do the reset, I will loose root, correct? (My goal is to loose root for the time being)

No, u wont loose it, but better share us ur rooting method to be sure.
[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.
