Updates have long been a problem for users of rooted Android devices. When installing an update, the root often flies, but a fresh version of the operating system for the smartphone is still needed. A new app called FlashFire eliminates them.
Update after root
Why do updates annoy rooted phones?
Android is based on Linux, so Android devices include a “root” user, similar in function to the administrator account in Windows. By default, Android does not provide access to this user's account. Rooting is the process of gaining access to the root account while installing the su binary. Applications call su to gain elevated privileges, which means they can break out of the Android sandbox and do something bigger. Android comes without root to avoid user security breaches, especially for non-tech-savvy users.
SuperSU
In the process of obtaining root rights, the SuperSU application is also installed, which controls access to the su binary, inside which you can allow and deny root access to applications.
Lollipop
When installing an operating system update, root access is usually lost. In Lollipop and earlier versions of Android, the update resets the system partition to factory state, removing the su binary. On newer rooted devices, the boot image is overwritten. If custom recovery is installed, then the standard update may not be installed at all.
SuperSU once had a "survival mode" for flashing updates, but it was removed after the release of the FlashFire application.
FlashFire by Chainfire
FlashFire is a powerful application from Chainfire, the developer of SuperSU, which, if rooted, provides rich functionality: flashing update files, including in zip format, creating and restoring backups, erasing data, and much more. It eliminates the need to manually copy and restore with the help of recovery, and also automatically removes root and re-roots when flashing update files.
Basically, FlashFire should work on most Android 4.2+ devices. However, there are a number of reservations.
On many devices, the presence of root interferes with downloading and updating firmware. On some devices, the update is downloaded, but it requires a tool like FlashFire to flash it successfully. On other devices, the update is not downloaded at all, so you will have to get the update file in a different way (they are posted on forums such as w3bsit3-dns.com and XDA Developers), and then flash it through FlashFire. Nothing will work without the update file.
What's more, if a rooted device needs to get a major OS version upgrade, such as from Lollipop to Marshmallow, the task gets more complicated. Since it is impossible to root Marshmallow without unlocking the bootloader, if the bootloader is blocked, root rights will inevitably disappear. If the bootloader has been unlocked, then the FlashFire application will be able to save (or restore) root access after the update is completed.
So, although FlashFire is not guaranteed to work on every device, it is nonetheless commendable. FlashFire is installed from the Play Store.
Installing android updates
If you receive a notification that an update is available for your device, download it, but do not install it yet. You will not be able to immediately install the update on a rooted device.
After the update has finished downloading, launch FlashFire. It will automatically find the update file and ask if you want to flash it, then click OK. This will open a window that can scare beginners - this is a list of operations that FlashFire intends to perform with the update file. Each operation is configured by clicking on it. Say, in order not to erase the cache section, uncheck this item. You can add other actions, but this is not yet desirable.
Custom recovery
A custom recovery called TWRP will be backed up in FlashFire before the update is launched, and will be restored afterwards.
When finished with the set of commands, click the “Flash” button. FlashFire will tell you that the download will take some time and a couple of black windows will appear. Then click OK again.
After that, FlashFire will reboot, displaying a long scrolling text on the screen. Do not touch the device - it's just FlashFire executing the necessary commands. The app will reboot again when it completes the update firmware and restore root. That's all.
If the update firmware does not work
If any modification of the device prevents FlashFire from applying the update - for example, the presence of a custom kernel or changing the / system partition through the Xposed Framework application - then the update will not get up. There is no notification that the update has been successfully applied yet, so you will have to go to Settings > About phone and check if the build number has changed. If not, then the update was not applied (also, most likely, Android will notify the user to install the update).
If this happens, download the factory image for the device, if available.
Once downloaded, copy the .tgz factory image file to your phone's internal storage or SD card.
Launch the FlashFire application and click on the floating action button (red button with a plus) in the lower right corner, then select "write firmware project".
This will open the file manager, by default displaying the root folder from the internal memory. Scroll down until you find the file copied to your device.
If the image file is selected, the FlashFire application will read the archive to check its contents, then present a list of flashable elements. Choose only what you need - to leave your custom recovery untouched, deselect the recovery option.
After that, click on the checkmark in the upper right corner. The application will again present a list of actions where you can change something if necessary.
After checking all the steps, click the "Flash" button. You will see the same notification from FlashFire about waiting for the download time and a couple of black screens, then click OK.
FlashFire will reboot and get to work. Flashing a complete image file will take a lot of time. After its completion, the application will restart again, and now everything is ready.
This is only a small part of the current capabilities of FlashFire. In the future, they will become even wider.
In the "Security" subsection, activate "Unknown sources". Now you will need one of the special programs to activate root rights through the computer and get full access to the system. Let's describe the most popular applications that support most models of tablets and smartphones. Kingo Root The Kingo Root utility must be installed on the PC before rooting Android. Make sure USB cable debugging has been enabled on your phone. Go to the installed program on your computer, then connect your tablet or smartphone via USB. Next, to obtain root rights, follow a simple sequence:
- The application will detect the device, click in the "Root" utility window.
- Wait until the work is completed, reboot the device.
On some Sony and HTC models, the bootloader is not unlocked; in the process, the King Root program will offer to do this.
how to remove root rights android
These programs have their pros and cons, which will be described in the next paragraph. Many users, in addition to root rights, also install custom Recovery.
Recovery is a boot mode that is standard on all Android models. The standard boot mode is responsible for updating the system.
Important
Custom gives much more rights. First of all, they are suitable for those who like to constantly do something with their device, namely: install any patches and fixes, selectively delete unnecessary files without the risk of deleting unnecessary ones, etc. For those who want to completely remove root rights, it is imperative to uninstall Recovery, because, even after removing the "super rights", a third-party bootloader can easily restore them.
Removal of Recovery occurs only with the help of device firmware, tk. utilities for removing root rights, for the most part, do not remove custom boot mode.

Attention
If you need to send your device in for repair, just roll back to the original (backup) firmware and no one will ever know you were rooted. 2. Turning the phone into a “brick”: If rooting fails, there is a risk of turning the device into a so-called “brick”.
The surest way to avoid breaking your phone is to carefully follow the instructions when obtaining root rights on trusted web resources, mobile portals. Make sure the manual applies to your device and that custom firmware is compatible with it.
Pay attention to user reviews with a similar device: perhaps they have already installed the root, or vice versa - they turned it into a “brick” and are in shock. 3. Increasing vulnerability. Granting root rights on Android reduces security.
Services and applications with unlimited rights can create a vulnerability.
How to restore root rights?
Any running application can also use these rights with the consent of the user. Root user = superuser. His rights are not limited, he can access any file or folder, perform any file operation in the Android OS.
In simple words, root access is the ability to work with the root file system in the Android OS without restrictions. What happens when rooting? Rooting - modification of the file system in order to provide superuser rights to the root directory of a smartphone / tablet. The root program gets full access to Android. As a result, the root user has an unlimited list of rights on the Android device. If the program is granted superuser rights, it can also do whatever it wants on the phone. How to know if a phone is rooted It's actually very easy to find out if a phone is rooted.

2. Open the /system/bin/ folder, find the su file there and delete it. To do this, you need to click on this file and, while holding it down, select "Delete" in the proposed menu.
If there is no such file in the open folder /system/bin/, then it may be somewhere else (the specific location of the file depends on the root file system of the device). 3.
In this article, we will consider questions about why and how to remove root rights. One part of experienced users of the Android operating system wants to get root rights in order to customize their gadget for themselves and do it as efficiently as possible. There is another part, these want to get rid of the administrator mode and remove the root rights.
Why remove root rights
The reasons for this may be different. Here are a few main ones:
- the user worries about the security of installed applications and is afraid of malware, because a device with special rights is less protected;
- a lot of “bugs” appeared in a smartphone or tablet;
- the device began to discharge quickly;
- the user wants to hand over his smartphone to a repair service under warranty (the presence of root rights deprives the warranty);
- if the device is in inept hands, with the presence of root rights, it can easily turn into a lifeless "brick" (an inexperienced user can delete something necessary for the system to work).
Next, we will analyze in detail how to remove root rights on android. There are several ways to remove. Let's consider each of them. The first way: manually deleting or using a file manager. A file manager is required to access the root system of an Android device. The most famous of them are: X-Plore File Manager and ES File Explorer. In addition to the file manager, you will need the Root Checker application. All this can be downloaded for free in the Play Market.
After the installation of the file manager is complete, open it and delete the su. Which is located along this path /system/bin/. The su file may not be in this folder, look for it elsewhere, because. its location depends on the specific Android device.
Next, go to the /system/xbin/ folder and find the su. We remove it in the same way as the first one. In some cases, you can find the busybox file in folders, instead of su. You need to do the same with him. Lastly, delete the Superuser.apk or SuperSu.apk file, which is located in the / system / app folder. The name of the file to be deleted depends on how the root rights were obtained. After the done manipulations, reboot the device and run the previously downloaded Root Checker application. If everything was done correctly, the application will not detect the presence of "special" rights.
The root rights of the Android operating system can be managed using a personal computer. Thanks to special software, you can both access the rights and remove them from the device. Each device has its own programs for flashing. For example, for Lenovo devices, this is “Lenovo Downloader Tool”, for Xiaomi “Xiaomi Flashing tool”, for Samsung “Odin3”, etc. For firmware, it is better to use official utilities, because they will give a more confident result and will not lead to problems with the android device.
Removing root rights through a computer, as a rule, occurs by removing the old firmware and installing a new one. This is due to the fact that in most standard firmware access to "super rights" is initially absent. Replacing the firmware is a radical method, so it is recommended to transfer all data from the device, even those on the memory card. Usually, flashing a device through a computer is required when it is not possible to remove root rights using mobile applications or manually.
Finding firmware on the web is quite easy, the main thing is to download it from trusted sources. Usually, tips on firmware and the firmware themselves are posted on special sites dedicated to the Android operating system. There are many such sites. It is enough just to drive in Google “android firmware” and phone model. Also on the Internet there are a lot of instructions for flashing a smartphone, where each stage of the process of flashing an Android device is described in detail.
Consider the firmware process using the example of an LG smartphone.
First of all, we download the “flash driver” LG Flash Tool, drivers for connecting a smartphone and a PC (drivers are not necessary, usually the need for them arises when automatic drivers are not installed correctly and the computer does not see the device), and in fact, the firmware itself, which is easily found on the network. Next, you need to put the phone into download mode by turning it off and holding down the "volume +" button, connect it to the computer's USB port.
Now about the firmware utility itself. Opening the LG Flash Tool, click "Select KDZ file" and select the firmware. The path to the file must not contain Russian characters. Next, there will be 2 items: "normal flash" and "cse flash". The first means firmware with saving user data. And the second erases everything, returning the phone to the factory state. Then click on "Start" - the process has begun. If an error occurs during the download, do not be afraid. You need to get the battery and putting it back, click on reload. This is how a device from LG is flashed. In most modern Android smartphones or tablets, the flashing process is approximately the same, with the exception of specific software features and models. Replacing the firmware removes access to root rights and returns the device to its original software environment. A separate story with the Samsung Galaxy family, which we will consider below.
If even after such a radical method of removing root rights, there are some “glitches”, you need to perform a full factory reset, which is present in every model with the Android OS.
How to remove root rights from phone
Despite the possibility of flashing a smartphone or tablet, most users prefer to manipulate root rights in the device itself. The easiest way has already been described above - this is manual removal. It does not require any software to be installed. For those who do not want, or for some reason cannot remove root rights manually, there are special applications that will help in this difficult task. For novice users, there are several applications where you can remove root rights from your phone or tablet in a couple of clicks.
For most models, two applications are suitable - this is Universal Unroot. Both download from the Play Market. The first is suitable for those who do not have custom (third-party) firmware installed, and the second is paid ($1). These programs have their pros and cons, which will be described in the next paragraph.
Many users, in addition to root rights, also install custom Recovery. Recovery is a boot mode that is standard on all Android models. The standard boot mode is responsible for updating the system. Custom gives much more rights. First of all, they are suitable for those who like to constantly do something with their device, namely: install any patches and fixes, selectively delete unnecessary files without the risk of deleting unnecessary ones, etc. For those who want to completely remove root rights, it is imperative to uninstall Recovery, because, even after removing the "super rights", a third-party bootloader can easily restore them. Removal of Recovery occurs only with the help of device firmware, tk. utilities for removing root rights, for the most part, do not remove custom boot mode.
Applications and programs for removing ROOT rights
Consider applications for removing root rights in more detail. As already mentioned, the application will help if the device does not have third-party firmware. After starting SuperSU, open the "settings" tab and after reading the window that appears in detail, click "continue". After the root removal process, reboot your device. The second Universal Unroot app works in the same way, but is more efficient.
Samsung Galaxy devices stand apart in the case of removing root rights. It's a little more complicated here. To remove "special" rights, you will have to download:
- official firmware and find the .tar.md5 file there;
- the Odin3 program, which is used for firmware;
- Samsung and Samsung USB drivers.
To start removing root rights on Samsung Galaxy, you need to turn off the device to start in a special mode. After that, we hold down 3 buttons: "home", "volume -", and "power". We turn on the download mode and connect the gadget to the PC via USB. We launch Odin3 and see a green square (if we don’t see it, then the driver installation was unsuccessful). In the program, click on the PDA and find the same .tar.md5. We leave the checkboxes only for "PDA" and "Auto Reboot" and click "run". After the procedure is completed, the Odin3 program will write "Done".
We remind you that in order to find out about removing root rights, you need to use the Root Checker application. Which need to be opened after the uninstall process. The program should not detect traces of root rights. To do this, click "Verify Root Status". If "special" rights are found, the icon will turn green and vice versa.
Once again, we recall the "hard reset" function, which must be applied in case of problems after removing root rights. By the way, on the Samsung Galaxy, the reset can be done manually (for example, in the case of a constant reboot of the gadget). To do this, with the device turned off, hold down the buttons: “home”, “volume +” and power. After that, using the volume buttons, we are looking for the item "reset settings" and press the power button on it.
Finally, let's remember another problem for Android users related to root rights - the . With which you can access super rights. The utility has great functionality and its official version does not pose a threat to the system. However, recently the program began to be hacked, turning it into malware that can access personal data, slow down the device and quickly drain the battery.
