Try kingroot. Better off to just bootloader unlock, but that wipes data

Hi, I know I can unroot by flashing kernel and stock rom, but this will effectively wipe my phone. My question is can we unroot the phone or remove root capabilities without wiping the phone?
I have heard that super one click can unroot, but am not sure if it also wipes.
thanks

Thanks hellcat, so if I remount and remove those apk without doing reset, will that achieve unroot? I don't want to warranty, only not have the phone report as not rooted so I can access work networks.
I have jig so can do that after.

Not only the .APK, delete su and busybox too, just like shown in the terminal input on the linked post.

That means you want it to show as rooted.... yay double negative.
But yes, the above linked unroots, thats why I linked to it, as that was your question.
Thanks, I am guessing that I have to flash a fixed kernel to achieve root again.
Yes, double neg, you know what I mean ;-)
ok i want to root my HTC One S so i can install ad-block software but will rooting my phone wipe all of my data? like all my apps and pictures? because i've had my phone for a while now and customized so much stuff, i dont want to go back to square one after rooting.
No, it will not. Rooting will not affect anything on your device.

Usually, rooting the device does not affect the phone's data partition. However, some methods of unlocking devices (like with my Photon) causes the phone's data (such as apps) to be erased. I don't have much knowledge with the One S, so don't take my word on this. The good news is that either way, your pictures should be safe if they are on a SD card.

Rooting has nothing to do with your data. That is factory reset that causes the data to be wiped. And that too phones data. Apps and all. NOT SD card data.

No "unlocking" is another name for rooting (and maybe S-OFF) your phone.

No.
Unlocking could mean unlocking the bootloader...
Rooting is rooting. Unlocking could be anything.

I have a Samsung galaxy s4 mini(gt-i9195) running on cm11 .
Recently I backed up my phone using clockworkmod recovery after the backup I lost my root access. Root was completely gone. I used root checker it said I had no root. Is it possible for me to get root access back and how?
Is it possible to use cwmr to re-root?
I'm new to xda forums so forgive me if this is in the wrong section

No it won't brick your phone, that's the simplest way of rooting if you have a custom recovery

I don't recommend rooting XZ1 if it's your first android. It requires unlocking the bootloader which would wipe the DRM keys. you would lose camera low light denoise and some other functions.

Yes you will lose all your data after unlocking bootloader for rooting your phone.
Have an unlocked oneplus 7T running the android ten. Not sure if that matters. Phone was originally used on t mobile. I now use it on att. Every time I turn the phone on the t mobile startup screen displays. Is there a way to get this off without rooting the phone ?
Thanks
Flash global firmware but first fastboot erase all. Backup persist and efs partitions before hand.
Do I need root for this ?

No you don't need to be rooted to backup persist and efs.
I can't figure it out lol. I'm just gonna pay someone local who does software crap to do it. Thanks
