Is my phone considered as modified?

[Suren Manukyan]

Hi guys,

I have a rooted Nexus 5x on Android N. I guess I have a systemless SuperSU and TWRP 3.0.2-1. I want to know if my phone is considered as " modified" or can I update OTAs?

Yes, it is modified so do not try to update OTA

Well I rooted my phone when it was on marshmallow and updated it to nougat with FlashFire. So how can I make it unmodified again?

All you have to do is reinstall the factory image and then don't re-root it.

That simple huh? I will lose all of my data, won't I?

 

[bjrosen]

Yes you will lose your data because it does a factory reset. Make sure that you have everything backed up. Doing a factory reset every now and then is a good thing because it clears up a lot of issues that are caused by out of date or corrupted settings.

Yeah I must do a factory reset sooner or later, my phone doesn't behave like it used to anymore.
