Just restored my phone to stock after failing to unroot my phone so i could get the update. My phone is back to stock settings, but i would love to remove all the bloat again and use the root programs like ad free. However, this time id much rather just freeze the bloat with TI backup instead of removing it with Super Manager. So what is the least invasive way i can do this? I would like it to be easily reversible so i can still unroot for updates and warranty.

I know there are a few links about rooting the bionic, but id like the most update one with the simplest root features. I am running .893
 
Do a search for p3droid one click root.

Has anyone verified that this is actually reversible?
Will it cause my phone to be reset to factory? I just finished reinstalling all my apps, id prefer to not have to hard reset unless i absolutely had too.
How does forever root work? Will future updates take with forever root? I was rooted using petes oneclickroot and i could not install .893 update.
 
Once again - why are you trying to "reverse" rooting? Rooting doesn't do anything to your apps nor settings, just allows you some more access to you phone. If you're rooted, that won't stop you from getting an OTA. The reason you couldn't install the 893 update was you had frozen/moved/deleted apps or somehow otherwise altered your device from completely bone stock. Root has nothing to do with that.
 
I personally unrooted to accept the update because in past threads (cant find them anymore) it was stated that in order to accept any updates the phone apps must all be there and the phone must be unrooted. So now some people im sure have unrooted and installed the update no fault to their own but possible wrong or mis understood information. Regardless now there are some people who have unrooted and installed the update. If you have an easy way or advice on the process these people should take to get back to root this may be a good thread to post that.

Ahh, sorry i didnt know that. So i guess the method of rooting doesn't matter much as long as it gets done. Can u explain the difference between the 4ever root methods and this method? I used Dhackers to restore to bonestock, should i just use that again to get 4ever root, or should i use the p3droid method?
 
I went ahead and used the p3droid method and it worked like a charm. Just wondering now, will i have to reroot for the next updates?
 
You need to do the forever root fix as well, or you run the risk of losing root. Every new update, they try to patch the exploit that allows root. You can use the released tool to add forever root or there are threads available to walk you thru it manually...tho I wouldn't recommend manually unless you're real comfortable.
