I'm no expert(I don't intend to root for a long while if at all) however from previous experience with the OSF I would say no, it just resets the OS to a virgin state.

Of course you could try and let us know...

[jikobutsu]

No it does not remove root, I factory reset with this device and root is still there. A factory wipes data so the rom is like first time boot, but it does not alter files in system.

[dereek]

Thanks Bluemoonrising and Jikobutsu. So, we cannot have an unroot?

[jikobutsu]

You can unroot, just not that way. One way is to delete superuser apk from system app then su and busybox from xbin, I think there are unroot apps that do this for you.

With root is there a way to enable ip adb (wifi)? because it doesn't show up in the settings. I was wondering if with a simple tweak like toggles in notification, there was a way to disable/enable it?

Will any permissions managers work on this phone? Apart from that I don't know what other benefits there are to root

I know one thing, droid wall does not work as your kernel must support IP tables, I think permissions apps should be ok, not tried really.

PS: because we dont have the right version of busybox, some applications will not run, like LBE privacy guard

sorry for the linux user, i did not edit the script, i think you just need  to change in the do_copy function, to remove the /data/tmp/busybox before mount -o .:-> i edited the file and updated the archvie, but i have not test it

Hey rooting is ok but how to unroot it.Its creating a problem because I want to send it for repairing.

[jikobutsu]

Delete superuser.apk, then delete busybox and su binary from xbin. I am sure there is some one click app somewhere, but that is how I do it.

You can also unroot with SuperSu I think: https://play.google....S5zdXBlcnN1Il0.

You guys Are really helpful...  Thanks

[flibblesan]

I tried modifying the script to work on a Mac but it failed.. It seems to work but just won't root. Not overly bothered right now about root but I'll have access to a Windows PC next week so I'll give the script a try then.
