how do i reroot it after i unrooted then applied the link found of us cupcake 1.5?
i think you should have waited for a rooted version to be released for this very same reason. you can root back to another rooted version via the method you did the first time but you have to wait until someone cracks this version if you want to stay with it.
ix ty for quick reply
Should you do a wipe before updating to the the official OTA cupcake? Or just update.
I unrooted my tablet and brought it back to completely stock to attempt to get the 3.1 OTA update, and it has been 2 days now with nothing. I was going to try to update via the OTA Full update package thread but I can't figure out which build to use, because mine isn't listed. It's Acer_A500_1.104.38_COM_GEN1. I just want to get the official 3.1 update, that way when the official 3.2 update rolls out I can get it no problem, then maybe I'll root again. Anyone have any ideas?
As posted here: https://community.republicwireless.com/blogs/republic/2015/11/23/device-mr-progress-update-112315, it appears that RW is going to be rolling out Lollipop this week, starting Monday and finishing Wednesday.
I plan on using Sunshine before the update, as TowelPieRoot likely won't be compatible. At the very least, unlocking the bootloader will allow downgrading back to KitKat if Lollipop has some serious issues.
Sadly, the update as of December 8th says the update's been delayed AGAIN-- the soak test starts January 11th, the general roll out begins January 18th.

Has anybody been able to capture the RW 5.1 OTA?
I did something stupid with my phone after updating to 5.1, then had to downgrade to 4.4.4 (I have an unlocked boot loader), but parts of it will not downgrade.
Now the motorola update thinks I am already on 5.1 and will not download the 5.1 OTA again.

The OTA can be found in the first comment here.
Thanks. I was hoping for the release version, but I guess the SOAK Test will have to do.

It's the exact same file as the final release.
OTA update zip
Does anyone else have the OTA update zip? Maybe final release? I know you said it's the same file, but maybe it's slightly different? Because it won't work for me. BUT I was able to just take and install the EMR update. So I don't know why Motorola update won't give me 5.1 too? Is it something with the phone reporting Sprint keys instead of Republic Wireless keys, like mentioned in the Reddit post? Or they think I have it already? I just get an "aborted" message. I have no system mods and I went back to stock recovery. It worked for the EMR update, so I can't figure out the problem. Any ideas? If hoping to not have to factory reset or install 5.1 from scratch (if it's available). Thanks!

Like I said, the soak test OTA is the *exact* same file as the final update. They wouldn't make changes to the build that got soaked or they'd have to redo the entire certification process again. That said, your issue is probably the Sprint keys issue. I know you don't want to do a factory reset, but you'll probably need to flash the RW 5.1 .sbf factory image to get yourself on the new update with everything sorted out.
The sbf file is here: http://www.filefactory.com/file/27kl2ef9ngk7/XT1049_GHOST_REPW_5.1_LPA23.12-39-R-15_cid6_CFC.xml.zip
Thanks!
What's up everyone.
So I recently purchased a S8 from T-Mobile. I received an update however I am not sure if I should update. Due to at some point whenever it becomes available I would like to gain root and custom recovery. I'm afraid if I update I may update to a firmware that disables something that will allow me to gain root. I know it's still early and we may not know just yet. However it's getting annoying. Anyone have any suggestion?
update. we have copied of those firmwares. they ones it came with for preorders.
Did anyone do the new update? Just want to make sure I'm not going to lose root and stuff
It's still showing is a 6.0 rom seems to have a few updates and security patch
It detected my root and will not update...
