I rooted my tablet two days ago with the NookandZergy method... I did select that I wanted to install google apps (which I read somewhere blocked auto-updates)...Then it freaking updated...But before factory in stall hack was used I checked to see if I had root (I was able to access my comic books on the root) and I was able to copy something from my network onto my root uning ES file manager... I guess my question is should I be worried that this update will kill my nook? And then my second question, why did it not kill my nook and then my third question how the do I turn off auto update in the future?
not everything is totally removed with update, some stuff will remain but you will no longer be able to access android market. read the development thread, you will need to restore to 1.4.0 and then root again, then use indirects titanium backup block. I have a video uploading showing this now. will be done in morning.

What is the game called?Nver heard anything like this.
Try deleting Superuser or SuperSU.
It's called Eternity Warriors 2.For many years it was just a game where you fight monsters through dungeons, "leveling up" and making armor. You could play same maps with a friend online also.Now they've put PvP mode after many years and included tournament every few days.I was working for my 70 lvl for a year and unlike some people that used trick with titanium backup or icloud to restore data when they failed to upgrade their gear I didnt use this cheap trick and was upgrading it fair way.Now when I want to check my skills(that are really good) I can't because they dont allow players with rooted devices to take place in tournament. I bet it's a cheat protection but for sure its not working because still I see everyone complaining about some guy with impossible damage in this game, killing with one hit etc.
Please can someone tell me how to unroot the device on cm7 and then root it back if needed without yellow triangle?(Ofc I want to stay on cm7 all the time). help plox :

Removing the su binary will un root your device, but some games will check for the presence of SuperSu or Superuser app whichever you are using, also try the root hiding app available in the market.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I'll try this method and tell how this worked.By deleting binary you mean su file in /system/xbin folder right?Can I just move it to my sd card so I can move it back in case I would need a root without flashing any packages?Its a bit awkward because if I delete root permission how can I use file manager root option to move it back again to system/xbin . Damn it seems like one way ticket .any clues?
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 and I'm trying to decide whether I want to root or not. I've never rooted a phone before but I have found detailed instructions on how to do it which seem pretty simple. Really, the only reason I want to root is to A)take off the ridiculous stock apps I never use, and B)so I can download the app gameCIH for a game I play all the time. Is it worth doing just for those reasons? I've heard that once you root you can't get the automatic updates from your provider any more when they update to a new operating system. How would I upgrade if that's the case? Can I still download apps from the Google Play store if I'm rooted? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just really new to this. Thank you for your help!

Good question, I rooted mine to enjoy the Titanum backup adblocker for all those free apps and others like you mentioned, however, you're right, the OTA would failed!! I always disabled the OTA update using root, make a full back up of my all my download apps, export my contacts or backup to cloud. Once a new firmware released, I just Odin the new firmware, re-root then do a batch restore of all my download apps with data. Another thing to consider is that the new firmware may block the root patch so you may have to wait until a root method is available for the new firmware before you take action.
Another option is uninstall root (there is an option in SuperSu to do this), then take the OTA update. If some how it failed you can alway revert back to the Odin method. I found that your phone probably will run better when you Odin the full firmware than to take the OTA upgrade.

you can try kingo root but I have to warn you that you verify that the website you download from is legit and not a a phishing website Lord of the root apk is not infact root apk but malware.
if you are on anything which is Android 6 plus chances that this APK will not root your phone because of security enhancements in that case your only choice is to to find a TWRP recovery for your phone Google TWRP and your phone name number follow instructions to flash it most of the time putting your phone in fastboot and flashing the image does the job and after that you can install magisk which will root your phone .With the option magisk hide enable you can fool other apps that your phone is not rooted or you can disable the superuser or root completely within magisk manager and use as non rooted phone.

My Android version is 5.1, but I heard really bad things about Kingo.
I tried TWRP Recovery, but my device is not listed.
Also, I'd like to know: is it true that rooting wipes all data from your phone? I'm trying to retrieve deleted pictures, so I need the data.

So there's no way at all to root without losing data, I get ya.
If you can help me, one step at a time
How do I backup all of my phone content? If I try to plug my phone to the PC i get the DCIM and Pictures folders, nothing else.

When you plug the phone / tablet to a computer you need to pull down from the top and look for Android System and something to do with USB / click this and choose Media Device or file transfer the PC should reconnect and make a sound. Now you should see all the folders in Internal storage and External storage (if you have a sdcard in the device)
make a folder on your pc and copy everything from the device to your pc
I personally use Google photos to keep those backed up and available on all my devices
Amazon Photos works just as well or you can even use both

Yeah I'll be using Google Photos from now on, it's just a bummer since I lost some pics I really cared about
Anyway, I've tried to copy, but I get an Unspecified Error
I don't understand
Edit: Ok, apparently the only folders I cannot copy are the Whatsapp and Android folders. I think I can just ignore them, since all the cached pics I want to recover are stored in the CloudDrive folder.
So, back to the root.
Is Kingo REALLY that malicious? I don't wanna risk any permanent damage on my phone (Android version 5.1)
And about TWRP: I got the app installed, but my device (CUN-L01) is not listed
kingo is not open source and when it and roots your phone it install some other bloatware app as well .As long as it's capable of rooting your phone go ahead and use it but make sure you to get rid of it after the diskdigger work is over
so yes something you may want to try
backup all your data photos call logs SMS etc , install kingo root app and get root { , if you want to keep permanent root then and at this stage you can download and install TWRP directly as a rooted user without going through the long drawn procedure of fast booting & once you have TWRP installed then replace your kingo app with your favourite root app and throw out kingo }
, do your diskdigger work and then un install kingo root app
there is a desktop and Android version both . the desktop version is supposed to be more powerful make sure you uninstall all the apps once your job is over also make sure that you are downloading the correct kingoapp because there are some of other 'viral' versions , that may install undesirable bloatware but will not roat
diskdigger alternative is phone paw you may want to try that as well I don't think that needs root it's PC based photo recovery software

If you put it that way, Kingo looks less meancing.
I'm not interested in a constantly rooted phone, just need it temporarily, so...
Sorry if I ask, but any of you have a reliable download link for Kingo? I really have no idea where should I look for a "safe" version.
Also, what do you mean by "make sure you uninstall all the apps once your job is over" ? Uninstalling Kingo is not enough?
there is a king root and there is the kingo root and I have not used both this crapwares for quite a long time I used them when I was on 4.x and rather new to this Android cynogen factory. At that time TWRP was a bit new and not every phone had a TWRP.
so I think I probably referred to kingroot and not kingo root
https://kingrootapp.net/
don't recollect but either or both of these apps also install some other bloatware apps that pretended to save your battery and show you how faster phone is charging ...whatever
uninstall all the apps that were installed after your 'root work' is over

The link you sent me redirects me to a certain Aptoide app
That's a good start :good:
Ok so, I'm not downloading anything from that link
Also, I keep reading awful things about this root method. Like it sends your email to some shady companies and such. I'm not even sure it will work with my phone, it may brick it.
So, I'll stick with TWRP
Can someone guide me?

First step unlock the bootload, on Huawei It's a pay service, check eBay or
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-read-huawei-bootloader-unlock-code
Second step you need a patched boot.img made with magisk. Most times you can get the stock boot.img from an OTA update.zip
Copy it to the phone and use magisk manager to install (patch) the stock file.
Now you copy the patched file to your PC fastboot folder.
Third and last step is to fastboot flash the patched boot img
The command is
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
Reboot and you have a rooted device

Here is how to do it
First things first, never use one click root apps! they install spyware and stuff, and they achieve root access in your phone by using vulnerabilities. The proper way to root it is the one by which you unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery like twrp, I found a post here https://techelucid.com/root-huawei-y5-ii/ ,follow it and try to use magisk instead of supersu, its more updated and can hide your root access, you can use supersu it work too but some apps won't work with root access enabled, magisk can hide this. Both can give you root access

well it sounded like this person just wanted a one shot one time root and out method which is why I suggested King root if it works. afterwards all that crapwhere can be deleted.
the other option was also mentioned that is TWRP and magisk .bootloader unlocking need not always be paid service lot of things allowed here on how to unlock bootloader but first we have to make sure if his bootloader is locked or unlocked.
turn on developer settings and oem unlock switch if that is present that mean the bootloader is unlocked and in fact this step of buying a service to unlock bootloader is redundant
I was trying to keep the thread as simple as possible without going into the depth of all the under the hood methods but sound like after all ,all the mechanics have opened up the hood and now we are getting to the engine
whatever works .....it sounds like he's getting good help so wish him good luck
