you dont need to unroot to change roms you should be able to flash any rom (as long as you have the right recovery and what not)
If your talking about just stock ROM rooted and wanting to get the 4.3 OTA then im 99% sure that once you root which (means you unlocked the bootloader) you cant receive the OTA anymore. im not sure if its worth the hastle of relocking the bootloader to maybe see if youll get the ota. just flash a 4.3 rom and youll be good.

cool thx im gonna try to flash a 4.3 rom
so i flashed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499452 and now super user says there is no SU binary installed , if you upgraded to android 4.3 , you need to manually re-root-consult the relevant forums for your divece . could anyone help me out here i dont know what to do, do i need to re root the phone?
All you have to do is download chainfire latest superuser zip and reboot into recovery and choose it and install it .
You don't need to reroot if you already flashed a Rom..that means you was able to flash it cause u was rooted .
You just need to install superuser zip.

I was rooted with stock 4.0.3 and unrooted so I could do the OTA update. Now, unrooted, TWRP is interruping the OTA update on the install. How can I remove TWRP?
Thanks!
You aren't fully unrooted.
Also, I would highly suggest just flashing the updated ROM. You should never unroot in order to take an ota and then reroot

I've read mixed opinions on this. Many Dev's have said just to unroot using the TWRP, then install the OTA, which is what I tried, and now TWRP opens up in the install process. As far as still being rooted, I cannot do anything that requires root, so I assume I am unrooted.
I prefer to OTA update. I've had too many issues with updated rooted ROM's in the past, so I would rather not flash a ROM.
I dont think removing twrp will do anything for you. You need the stock recovery to flash an OTA. You would need to RUU to stock after relocking your BL and then take the OTA if thats what you wanna do. Unless there is a stock recovery floating around to flash in twrp. In the past for every phone I have every tried you need the stock recovery to flash the OTA update.

Bad idea. What Roms are you using? There are fully stock rooted Roms available that the only difference is they are rooted. That is the only coding or programming difference. You are spending a lot of time dong something that doesn't need to be done. You can get everything you need from a stock odexed rooted ROM. Plus you having to wipe the slate clean on your phone each time there is an ota.

Nobody is answering your question because they don't want you to unroot...smh
Just flash the stock recovery. Make sure that first you're on an odexed ROM, then flash the stock recovery, then search for the OTA update and install it.

Know anywhere I can find the stock recovery? I'll have to go back and re-root the phone as well, since I am unrooted at this point.

So i rooted the device using odin 5.0.7 and saw that i cannot update my O.S
Can anybody give me a step by step instruction on how to unroot my device or if there is any way to upgrade my rotted device??
P.S-I am a newbie and i know very little about such things
If you have superuser by chainfire then you can unroot using the app itself. Otherwise download and flash via odin any stock firmware to unroot. Better still flash the latest stock instead of ota updating.

If you want root you are going to have to flash the new Roms as they are released and not try OTA anyway. If you want stock, that's fine, but you can't do much around here with a stock Rom.

Hey Guys!!
I have a Motorola Moto E (XT1022) device which I have rooted and have xposed framework installed. Since the Lollipop update is just around the corner, I was wondering what would the steps be to be able to download it and update the device. This may be a problem for many other users too. So please tell how to do this and what all do we have to do (like unroot, flashing etc.).
THANK YOU!!!

You can go back to stock and locked bootloader and wait to OTA, or you can stay with your current rom and wait untill someone uploads a flasheable zip of 5.0

So I have to uninstall the xposed framework, then full unroot via SuperSu and then flash stock firmware?
from what i've heard are ... no root, no edited apks, no disabled apks, full stock without removing anything was installed first
i think better flash stock firmware first beside uninstalling any apks which can edit your system, to prevent any leftover from those apk

No, that steps not needed,u can continue to reflash as it is,but u will lose all installed apps after flashing,

you just have to revert back to your stock rom..nothing more i guess..whn the ota arrives it will automatically break your root..so just try to get back to your stock rom asap..those who are expcting soaks to arrive..lyk me al d bst
The thing is after we update it to lollipop. the xposed framework wont work in Lollipop cause the runtime were using is ART. and root may still be in test.
To take OTA Update
Restore unrooted stock rom backup(if you have) or Go to stock rom, uninstall Xposed framework and it's modules, uninstall su app(may be not necessary)
Then flash stock recovery and take ota update. That's how I updated from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4.
Don't flash the stock rom!!

Hey harsh I went through same problem when moto e got updated to 4.4.4. I had rooted 4.4.3 stock rom on my phone on which I removed all the bloatwares. I decided to reflash stock rom on it... And when I did it I got OTA but it refused to install because the bootloader won't lock again. Then I waited for somebody to upload 4.4.4 stock rom on XDA (which usually come after a week or so after OTA) and I flashed that rom. And It went Smoothly... So just wait for people to upload Lollipop ? roms!! Good luck

You need to revert to stock recovery and ROM. It is not essential for you to use the "oem lock" command to relock your bootloader as it will enable you to obtain root after the update. Cheers
Don't bother with re flashing your ROM and backup and restore just wait for a while you will sure get an flashable lollipop right after its on air...

Hey guys, i am on the stock rom. I just unlocked the bootloader , rooted the phone. What steps exactly do i need to follow to get the ota update ? As far as i know, i need to be on the stock recovery. How do i know which recovery i am on ? I have the stock recovery image. I guess, i dont need to flash the stock rom again as i didn't flash any custom rom. I need to unroot, and then flash stock recovery to get the ota, right ?? Do i need to lock the bootloader ? Please give me a detailed answer, i have been looking for an answer for so long but haven't found one.

U said u have simply rooted yr cell, so u havent flashed any custom recovery. So u are having stock recovery.
Now simply unroot yr device and wait for ota.
It doesn't matter if yr bootloader is locked or unlocked, its fine even if u have unlocked bootloader.

Well after wandering here n there behind ROMs for a month or so im now looking for OTA update 5.1. As im in india and motorola has already announced it here so it can land anytime. As i told i was on custom ROMs and fairly i had custom recovery and unlocked bootloader, will i have an OTA or i need to do something with my device??
Im on stock rom now.
I asked same to motorola guys but they didnt seemed to know anything.
So i have one straight qs.
Will i be able to get OTA despite having unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and root?
You need stock ROM, stock recovery and a. Unroofed phone to receive OTA.
From Customer Support motorola
If You are unlocked your bootloader you can get OTA update !
If you are rooted your device you cant get OTA update.
So, Revert to Stock ROM, and Unroot your Device to Get OTA.
