OTA Root Survival

Post by FMKaiba »

SuperSU has an OTA survival tool built in.

This makes me curious, can anyone who wants to unroot and update try this tool? see if it succeds

Damn...missed the post. I can confirm a no-go with OTA Root Survival.

Now that I lost root how the heck do I rename otacerts.zip.old to otacerts.zip - it just won't stick? Do I have to install adb (again) and root again? Too much work for a fake weekend hacker...

If you lost root because you upgraded to the latest version, then you will not be able to root again unless and until someone finds a new exploit. Given the low interest in this device by the hacker community, the chances of that are probably slim...

[EDIT - From your post in another thread, it looks like the upgrade failed so you were able to root again. Nevertheless, I leave the above as a warning to others.]
