How to unroot Sony Xperia Z2 (D6503, MM)? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First, I rooted my device to install Cyberian Camera, and now I want to unroot it. The problem is, if I unroot it, does my stock camera go back to its normal camera and I didn't make a back up of it. What should I do? Thanks!

No, it wont revert any permanent change to the system. However, some functions that requires root wont work properly.

No, there are no workaround for root access. Whom needs it must have the access to it, you cannot fake it.

I asked about it because I've noticed that in my Play Store, it says there that my device is uncertified and I thought it is because my phone is rooted.

Part of it. "Uncertified" is due to a modified firmware.

I understand now. Is my device can be affected by some virus?

Before you get root, you should have read enough and acknowledge this.
Do more research then proceed with flashing your device. You seems to have a lack of knowledge in this field.

you do not need a custom recovery and with root not much can go wrong,
Rooting does not affect your bootloader
rooting does however affect your warrenty, removing of root does restore the status of your warenty since the modifacations no longer exist
you do not need recovery
your bootloader is locked from being manufactured, its only unlocked if someone unlocks it which sony wouldent do as its used to monitor if someone has modified their device but root exploits is a way around this

if you uninstall root from within the supersu app your warrenty is no longer voided because there is no evidance of root being there
if you modified your system you can install a FTF using flashtool to get totaly stock

Root now available!

Root is now available for our lovely 6P!
Flash TWRP from here
Flash the boot image from here (angler-mdb08k-boot.zip)
Flash the latest SuperSU beta from here
then you'll be good to go!
Does it require a custom kernel? I couldn't find mention of it in the link. Also, what the heck is a "boot image?" I know bootloader, recovery, and kernel. Do we now have another thing to consider?
Cool... Can any1 confirm though that rooting wont effect fingerprint sensor working..... I don't really care for Android pay
Sent not from Nexus 6P

I'm in the UK so don't have access to Android Pay I'm afraid.
Is there already a way to unroot? Also I hope we don't lose any data while rooting and then unrooting.
This will be my first Nexus.

If you just reflash the stock system image that would erase any trace of root. You wouldn't lose any data. You'll only be able to flash the root zip/kernel if you've already unlocked your bootloader. If you've not done that you'll have to do it first and the process of unlocking will wipe the device.

Um? Don't think we're quite there yet?

Quote from Chainfire.
Acquiring root without modifying the boot images is still under investigation. Please note that the current method will not be officially supported. Future roots may require a clean system: we are at a very early stage of root for 6.0, methods used are subject to change.

I'd download the factory image and update to the latest build. you can edit the "flash-all.bat" so that it doesn't wipe your phone. Change the command
"fastboot -w update" to
"fastboot update"
to preserve your data.
I have re-opened this thread, because the linked thread isn't the same - this isn't a duplicate.
"4. How To Root Your Stock Rom
This section will be revisited when more information is available."
This thread presents something new.

Yes, it breaks Android Pay (justchecked). Google already disclosed this to us, so it's not a rumor.

You may want to modify OP to mention Flashing Modified Boot Image before flashing TWRP may be a good idea.

Just boot loops for me , even with Chainfire's boot.img. Is it necessary to do the steps one right after another?
Neat! Glad it is all happening quickly. I think I want to keep encryption, so I will probably wait to root and install TWRP until wiping data to remove encryption is no longer necessary.
Can someone please confirm if the damn fingerprint sensor still works after rooting?

Android Pay don't work on stock

Hello.
I want to use Android Pay, but app showing me error, that Google cannot confirm software on my Z2.
I have stock ROM (prerooted MM, 23.5.A.1.291). I did full unroot in SuperSU settings but it still shows me that message.
My bootloader is blocked (once it was unlocked, but I did DRM keys backup and all fully working).
I don't want to flash stock with Flashtool (I will lose recovery).
What to do now?
Thanks for help.

You MUST HAVE UNTOUCHED SYSTEM (incl. RECOVERY) in order to use Android Pay.

If i good think, you cant have system-less root without change kernel. if you change the kernel, you cant have Android Pay. If you don't have root, you can't have Magiska... etc...

Is it known what exactly does Android Pay check? I have stock 6.0.1 and Pay is working fine for me. Now I'd like to flash LDAC mod to get better sound with wireless headphones (https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...-xperia-x-ldac-ahc-port-enjoy-hi-res-t3370105). This mod apparently just adds LDAC library into /system/lib and appends few parameters to /system/build.prop. Any opinions whether it could break Android Pay? Thx!

[UPDATE] March 1, 2017 Security Update G930AUCS4BQC2

I didn't mean "completely" in a way that it's unusable, but you only get root access via ADB, since SuperSU will not work. So that sucks :/

Quick question. How do I update using this file since it is a .cfg? Will this still work using odin, or do i have to update using a different method?

You can try to rename this to : "update.zip" w/o quotas and update from stock recovery or HERE you got ADB sideload files. If i remember correctly bout ways you will wipe your devices , so make backups of whatever you got important on your phone.
Good luck
