Okay so last night I went ahead and downgraded the phone back 4.4.4 and waited for the update. I got on 5.1.1 stock file. I then went ahead and rooted the phone with KingRoot. But I have come to find that I like supersu better and was wondering if there is anyway that I can switch the two. Thanks all for any help.

Because you're on Kingroot, go ahead and install XZDualRecovery, and flash my prerooted zip file. It has SuperSU and some nice enhancements so you won't have to worry about a thing.
for avoiding losing of your data, you can backup your data using twrp and download tigerhoods twrp backup 5.1.1 in thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/.../twrpbackup5-1-1-23-4-b-0-319-rooted-t3331193 and add your data files in that backup and flash. Enjoy.... hit thanks

I believe that's redundant since you will just be overwriting your data once you use Tigerhoods' backup. Not to diss him by any chance, but his ROM is missing some important parts of the framework which makes some functions buggy.
It is a lot more safer and easier to flash my zip for a cleaner start.

If you want stabilization and SuperSU installed, just follow my guide to install the prerooted flashable zip I prepared that is the best solution to your dilemma. It's really simple without needing to do any unroot and such.
I have to back everything up and then try and flash that rom. Or I guess I could try and root the phone again and see if that works. I'll let you all know. Thanks.

Fair warning: I've never rooted a phone before. I've dabbled in ADB with my nook color, but am far from comfortable with it. I installed Honeycomb on the nook color, then decided to just go simple with autonooter.
Now, I'm thinking of rooting my new Thunderbolt. Mostly because I'd like to get rid of all of the bloatware and try to get all of the performance out of my phone as I can get. After having the Droid1 for a couple of years, I do not want to see my phone get laggy like my D1 did.
So here come the beginner questions: once I root the phone, I know I need to get ROM Manager and Titanium Backup. Those apps will let me be able to get back all of my data and preferences, etc once I switch ROMs right?
What else will I need after rooting? Is it a simple process to flash a new ROM?
Can anyone suggest a (mostly) stock ROM that just gets rid of the bloatware and gives the phones performance a boost?
Also, does a rooted phone require a lot of maintenance? For instance, will I have to be updating ROMS often? Also, if an OTA comes out for non-rooted phones, do these updates get worked into the ROMs quickly? I dont want to be without a necessary update, ya know?
Last question: Once I root my phone, should I just cancel the insurance on the phone? Or does "voiding the warranty" only mean that VZW wont fix it for free?
Thanks!
First off, I highly recommend following this rooting method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996616 and not using the easy root method. If you have any problems at all, you can log into http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951190 and get some help. I also highly recommend reading up a bit on ADB, what it is and how it works http://www.xda-developers.com/android/adb-easy-tutorial/
Then...once you get rooted use ROM Manager to flash the clockworkmod recovery. In ROM Manager there's a little fix that everyone's been doing: open ROM Manager, menu>clear download cache, then settings>erase recovery. Then do your backup before you do anything else like flashing another ROM. Use Titanium to backup all your apps. I recommend the paid versions of both since you will be using them a lot.
Added: What I usually do the first time: Root, backup rom, install debloated rom, set everything up like I want it and then backup again. Each time I flash a new ROM, I create a backup of it all set up and with the name so that I can easily switch back and forth. I like change
The basic debloat rom is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000103
It's easy to flash a new ROM, just download the one you want, put it on your sdcard and then use ROM Manager to 'install from sdcard'
You are going to be flashing ROMs left and right because they come out so fast. Each time an update is out, it'll be put into a ROM and released for all of us here so that you stay current. Most OTA updates will remove your root, so I wouldn't suggest applying them. Many ROMs will block the OTA updates, but not all of them do; at least in my experience.
I would not recommend getting rid of your insurance, it is different than the warranty and you can get your phone replaced if it's ever damaged. I've used it 3 times now all on rooted phones. It indeed will void the warranty.
Happy rooting!
^ +1. I did use the easy root method and had no problems with it but it is truly still hit or miss. I am sure it will get better as more developers start pushing new stuff out.
Good luck
Thanks for the reply!
Why dont you recommend using the easy root method that I've been reading so much about? I realize it has some faults, but I'm planning on waiting until an updated version comes out. I'm a bit afraid to brick my phone while trying to root the phone myself.
Also, after rooting, how can i do a backup of my apps? Doesnt rooting wipe all of the data on my phone?
Learning ADB would be helpful...I must admit, I am an easy root junkie. I just don't have the time to learn ADB. Maybe someday that will change.
Rooting will wipe your phone and I use Titanium Backup to back up my apps. It does make it a lot easier once you start flashing ROMs on a daily basis
Because the non-easy method doesn't have any flaws, thus has a lot less chance of bricking your phone. If you copy and paste, then you reduce your chance to brick to practically 0.

So to answer my previous question: When rooting, I'm still going to lose all of my current information including apps, sms, etc. However, its good to backup my phone before installing the debloated rom.
Is that correct?
Correct - when you root your phone, you're wiping everything except the sdcard, so you need to backup your apps and such.
And we should stop using the term 'not-easy' root ... how about 'less easy', it's not as scary
Another quick question: I downloaded all of the necessary files.
When I try to open up the RUU_Mecha zip file, it tells me that the file is invalid or corrupted.
I've downloaded it twice from different sources and this happened both times.
Any idea why this is the case?
Can anyone point me to where I can get a non-corrupt version?

you don't open the files. The exploit one is the one you unpackage to your tools directory. The other you will put on your sdcard when told too. you can join #root and get help if you want.
as far as apps, the market 'should' reload all your apps when you wipe data just give it time. Then use titanium to back them all up.
So ADB is basically finding the root copy and paste and run ? .

ADB is learning what you are doing to your phone instead of letting a program do it for you. Copy/paste is just so there are no typos if you don't feel as comfortable typing it all out. I recommend reading up on ADB so that you have a bit of knowledge of what you are doing.

As a first time rooter myself, I ended up doing the original root process. The well written instructions helped me not to feel paranoid and I breezed through the steps. While, I was confident in rooting the phone because of the instructions, I don't feel so confident post root because I don't know how to do many of the elements like flash roms, kernels, apply mods, etc. So my question is, are there any guides for flashing new roms and the steps taken before and after? For instance, let's say I wanted to flash adrynalyne's no bloat rom, and his mod package, how do I go about doing it? Thanks for taking the time to read this.

If I root and remove bloatware manually, will OTA updates occur automatically, or do I have the option of blocking them. Would they re-install all of the bloatware I removed?
For reasons I won't go into (mainly because they're boring) I deleted Google talk.apk from Root Explorer (I was following instructions to update the app but those didn't work) and now I can't get it back. I've factory reset the phone to no avail. I have Google Voice installed, but can't seem to get talk back. If anyone could help, it would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thanks!
BTW, I did a search before posing the ?, but the only solution I found was for a different phone, and when I ran those steps, when I tried to open Talk, it would just FC.

Have you tried snagging the files from another Photon and installing? Can you post what steps you have already taken please?
Yes....factory reset won't restore system apps. You can flash Juggs update.zip and that will restore for you. Then would have to root again of course but is easy enough.
Just download a custom rom , unzip it and copy the required app to your device.

I will try that as well.

I then installed it (from Root Explorer) even with the same result. It may be that it wasn't the right version maybe? So if I extract it from a Rom, do I just copy it to the System/Apps folder (using Root Explorer)? Sorry for the confusion, and thanks much for the help.

Hey faria, thanks! I did the top link last night (that was the one that I copied the talk.apk.zip (2.2) over to my SD card, extracted, and then copied to /system/apps/.

If you still end up having problems.....
Juggs update.zip is just the latest OTA with a few minor modifications. So basically it will restore all to pretty close out of the box and restore any system apps.
However, you can also flash the sbf which is the actual newest OTA exactly like the one pushed from Motorola/Sprint. This requires using rsd and isn't quite as easy as the update.zip which can just be flashed via bootstrap recovery.
Any one of these methods will require you to root the phone again.

go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317368
scroll down to where it says superuser installation and click on the link and download the file.
then obviously place file on sd card and boot into recovery and install it (i dont think you need to do a factory reset or wipe cache or anything like that)
then just make sure you have the latest superuser from the market and then everything should be fine

I have a Nabi 2 and I am fairly new at this. I tried to root using the jmzrootpackage path and was able to install twrp 2.2.2.1. even though installation had some fails and differed from the tutorial. I did not update the product version with OTA updates and it is at version 1.0. Now with twrp installed OTA updates do not work. So, I am trying to go with a fresh start and recover it to stock so I can do OTA updates and re-root. However, I am not sure how to do this. I tried following this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074501, but this links to the downloads are broken.
Thank you for any help you may offer.
Okay somewhat figured it out
I updated twrp using this guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nabi-2/general/nabi-information-t3229119 .
Then, luckily I found another user with a Nabi 2 with Disney that was in a similar situation and followed the guide there http://forum.xda-developers.com/nabi-2/help/nabi-2-disney-return-to-stock-dummies-t3212480 .
Now I am updated to 4.4.2 KitKat and it seems I am up to date on the OTAs since it is not showing any new updates available. I also did not install SuperSU when it asked at the end of my stock recovery because it wanted to root my Nabi when I need it to be unrooted for potential OTAs.
I guess I am moving onto figuring out how to remove all the bloatware.
Okay, since I did not install SuperSU I am guessing I did not root it at all. Is there a process to root with SuperSU or do I have to restore with the stock again. I wanted the Nabi 2 to be a pure android tablet as possible, so I deleted as many non-Gapps as possible. I am left with the usual Nabi ones that are not removable without root. So should I live with the Nabi Apps or root it and remove them. Any tradeoffs once rooted?

You don't necessarily need "root". You can delete what you want through TWRP.
You can root by downloading the zip
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/
Then install the zip in TWRP. There aren't really any bad trade offs to have root, at least as far as losing functionality.
As far as TWRP goes. It actually can handle a lot of the OTA's just not all of them.

I was able to delete some in /data/apps. It was grouped with some Gapps and personally downloaded apps. There were some apk files that I could not find through twrp's file manager. For example, there is a Cinderella ebook apk that I cannot find along with other Nabi apps. I checked /system and only came upon an empty /bin folder. Also, did not see any /vendor folders either. Nothing in addon_res as well.

In TWRP look in the mount tab and make sure "addon" is mounted(checked)
Then look under just /addon in the root.
Edit: same applies to "system", make sure it's mounted. That's why those directories are empty.

I was able to clear them by going to Settings>Apps>All>Launcher>Clear Data. Google Play, Google Folder, and Settings were left over, including a small nabi launcher on the bottom. I tried to see if I could get rid of the Parent mode home screen. It seems to be tied to the Launcher system app and requires a root. I deleted a Launcher2.apk before and the system did not fully boot and I had to restore. I also tried to use some App disabler/feezers but Launcher did not show up in either.
Decided to install Nova launcher over it. It is still in the background running, but Nova has automatically replaced it.
I do not know why TWRP (or cyanogenmod, it seems) keeps repopulating my root directory with a supersu folder containing apks and scripts for that app. Is there any way to permanently delete that folder and all its contents? Whenever I reboot to recovery after I delete it, it always comes back.
(Inquiries elsewhere went unanswered. Googled all I could.)

Oh there is. Build the rom yourself and leave out super user and root.
Mainly as many custom rom features require root to work. You maybe better off running stock.
If you want to remove root just flash the latest Chainfire's SuperSU, go to the app then select full unroot. Reboot then delete supersu folder.

I use systemless root and don't want any traces of the old method sitting around to be detected. Plus, I'm GApps-free, so that's not really possible.

If you want to remove root just flash the latest Chainfire's SuperSU, go to the app then select full unroot. Reboot then delete supersu folder.

Doesn't help. That'll remove everything but the folder in question. Going back and deleting the folder after using SuperSU's full unroot option only works until my next reboot, when the folder pops back up again.
