So I need some help unrooting and removing the Kinguser app from my sony xperia z3v. I'm returning the phone to stock factory settings in order to return it to Verizon and I keep running into issues. The kinguser app has an option to remove root and uninstall the app, but everytime i run the process, and reboot the device, the app is still there, with root intact. I would really appreciate any help with getting my z3v back to stock settings and with removing the app.

just flash the stock ftf with the flash tool. That should return you to stock and remove any traces of root.

I've been going through the root guide that is up for the xperia z3v, but I haven't been able to find any clear steps on how to use the flash tool. I'd rather not brick my phone.

It's just step number two you need to look at. There's a link to a thread that provides flashtool and it has its own instructions to follow.

Hi guys,
My Z2 is on .402 right now and rooted with towelroot. I also installed the Xposed framework.
Now I want to update to .314 since it enhances the voice quality so much.
EDIT: bootloader is locked!
What would be the smartest way to do this? After the Update I'd like to root the device again and also install the Xposed framework.
Can I just update regularly and then root again?
I already checked out this thread where a guy said that the Xposed framework could mess up the update:

Are you wanting to update via ftf Flash?
You can update via PC companion, but it
Is best to do a backup first and do a wipe before rooting. Then you can restore apps etc. I found this the easiest way to do it. So my procedure was 1, backup 2, update 3, root 4, restore apps etc.
Hope this you m8 :thumbup:

This is what I did.
(1) Flash the 314 firmware via Flashtool.
(2) Root the phone again (use this)
(3) After the reboot, go to Xposed installer and "Update/Install" the Xposed framework (the settings of your modules will be automatically reapplied after the reboot).
I re-rooted using ERT v11 and tr.apk v3 :good:
Alright! Thanks a lot for the help!
I thought there was a way without wiping the phone.
Will try flash tool!
What backup solution can you recommend me while we're at it?
Thank you so much!

While flashing the 314 firmware via Flashtool, untick the Wipe Data option and you'll keep your data intact.

I just received a Android update in my notification menu. I am rooted and running a custom recovery (twrp). I know I cannot accept the update but I can't swipe it away. Anyone know how I can get the update removed from my notification menu?
Have you tried long pressing on the notification and disabling notifications?
I froze system update in ti backup I didn't have a pending update but I would try that

Thanks for the thumbnail. I did find it in TB and froze it but I'm still getting the update notification in my notification pull down.
Did you restart the phone after
that may work
Don't know if this will work or not, but on the Galaxy S3 the way to stop getting nagged about an OTA was to edit build.prop and replace all references to the old ROM with the new one. So you could try making a backup of build.prop, then edit all references to ZV4 and change them to ZV6. Save the file, make sure permissions are set to rw-, r--, r-- (0644), and reboot.
I would strongly suggest making a nandroid backup first.
Here's how I have been doing it:
1. Download Autorun Manager
2. In settings under advanced enable view services
3. Go to Google Services Framework and disable update...see below.
At your own risk if you decide to try it, of course.

If the update has already downloaded. Disabling the OTA still wont get rid the the notification. Easy way to get rid of it is long press it and go to app info. This will take you to Google Play Services. Simply uncheck show notifications and the system update in the pull down notifications will go away.
Just a temporary fix to get it out of the way. I reccommend just downloading a ZV6 rooted rom.

Lucky you. Good find. Glad you got it sorted. Now you can relax.
I have a question that I wanted to ask before I go any further. I bought a G3 last week, rooted it and installed twrp recovery, and have done multiple backups.. Had a hardware defect so I had to exchange my phone for another new one. I received a system update just now so I was going to accept the OTA update since its not rooted, completely stock. My questions are will I be able to root and instally twrp after this update and once I install all my apps, and if rooting and installing twrp is successful, can I restore my backup that I did on my other phone, even though its a different phone? Its from the same carrier and same model phone. Thanks for your feedback.

Don't take OTA. Root it and TWRP it. Then flash STOCK ROM ZV6 Deodexed or Odexed, then you'll be up to date and keep root with TWRP.
The update begins, the robot appears with the bar. The moment the bar begins to progress, my phone reboot back to 4.4.4 and tells me an error occurred. I have factory rreset and cleared cache but it still doesn't work.
What might be causing this?
Are you rooted or anything?

As Giga says, you will still have traces of root on your phone. Flash a stock FTF first, then update.

I own an Honor 5x, which I used to have rooted running a TWRP recovery and SuperSU. I wanted to update my phone to marshmallow, but it was an OTA update so i had to unroot and go back to the original bootloader. I did everything needed and got my phone upgraded to marshmallow, and was then hoping i could play pokemon go, but for some reason i am getting the error where it says the game does not support my device, the exact same one that i got when i was rooted. i double checked that i was unrooted by downloading literally every single root checking app on the play store, and all of them have classed my phone as unrooted. i dont want to root my phone again as i have nox for rooted stuff now, and it was a hassle extracting th e recovery.img from the update file as noboby else had it, so i was wondering someone here could help me
thanks in advance!:good:

OTA update does not wipe the entire phone, you need to download the full update and manually wipe your phone and install the Full update to totally remove SuperSu.
You could also uninstall SuperSU from the apps settings before taking the OTA to avoid this problem

Two possible ways imo...
If you don't want to root then
Extract and manually flash stock boot.img, Cust.img and system.img and you are good to go without any data loss (but make a backup to be sure if something goes wrong).
Second is to root your phone, and use an app like 'hide my root' to hide your root from Pokemon go and you are good to go.
The third is to root and unroot using the inbuilt function of SuperSU.

Thanks you so much . I will try these methods .

King root sucks. And it can be hard to fully remove it again
Rather root with chainfire's SuperSU
but I, I do not want to unlock the bootloader ... I would do the only root for some applications
Sent from my PLK-L01 using XDA Free mobile app
Then try king root. But definitely replace it with SuperSU, there are good explanations how to do that all over the place
but to me it is also interested in how to remove the root, for official updates
Sent from my PLK-L01 using XDA Free mobile app
For that you should replace king root with SuperSU, it's in the app possible to remove SuperSU easily
Please don't use kingroot as it's very difficult to remove. It really sticks to the system. There's a wide range of cases of people deeply regretting installed kingroot.
And you need always to unlock the bootloader. There is no known root method without it. But unless you need unrooted apps like homebanking you'll be fine.
Use supersu. Period!

If you don't want to unlock the bootloader, then use Kingroot. If you wanna receive OTAs, use SuperSU. Choose one.

Save yourself from trouble and go with supersu.
To install OTA you just need to go to app and remove root option. Even in some Huawei models you don't need to unroot.

Since Kingroot is very hard to remove, you might want to reflash in fastboot to be safe.

You can do it, it's very much safe. Just don't go with kingroot.
I had and have all my devices rooted, even Sony (very difficult) and never had any annoyance, except some banking and transport apps not compatible with root.
Overall I recommend a lot.

Unroot at Supersu app. There's an option there.
Flash original boot.img and recovery.img via ADB. Only seems difficult the first time, then it's a walk in the park.
Overall you spend months without having to do so as updates are not frequent.
the problem is I have a Mac as a computer, and all these programs are not all compatible

The only thing you need from the mac side is Google or Huawei drivers and ADB installed. There are various tutorials for these.
Also Mac already have a terminal emulator to run ADB commands. It's easy. Go and install drivers and ADB. Then connect phone to Mac, after selecting debugging option in developer options in phone settings. Turn off phone. Press vol- and power until screen comes on.
Run fastboot device command in ADB terminal and post here the results.
