well you can try using supersu and use full unroot.

I think more appropriate to reply here since it is not related to Huawei HyppTV box.

May I know what did you mean by above? I have SuperSU installed in this box, so how can I look for Full unroot?

I used Xposed Framework before for RootCloak but didn't work..

some people said they use this rootcloak method and work. never tried it before as i think there is no point keeping my box rooted as i just use it for kodi / iptv..

I tried RootCloak and yes, wasn't working for me.

Thanks for the heads-up! I will check out mine for this option too. Yes, mine also for Kodi and IPTV, I don't even require it to be rooted. laugh.gif

I hope my box will still work. laugh.gif

There are several.. Minix boxes work too... Example the Minix Neo U1.

By right, it should be so... However, some devices have issues with the app and or the Google Play Store for easier updates. So if iFlix is important? better to confirm first when possible before purchase.

I'm thinking why did those rebranded boxes like to pre-root those boxes? Any idea? unsure.gif

IMO.. Having a pre-rooted unpopular device that can be unrooted easily is better than having an unrooted unpopular device that can't be rooted easily.. for those who want it. Probably cuz not all manufacturers can offer after-sales service/tweaks/forum perks as the more popular devices.

So, in another word, it will be safe for me to unroot my box? I mean, so long it will not lose any special functionality due to rooting. I haven't seen anything that is linked to rooting in my box or any apps which requires rooting to work. blink.gif

These are a few things.. their importance varies from individual to individual.
*Six Axis app: For wireless game controller support.. PS3, PS4, etc.
*Ads: Block ads in any app... Get rid of at least 95% of ads from apps.. Makes for a more pleasant experience.
*Titanium Backup: Real device backup (apps, their data, wifi networks, etc).. handy in case of a factory reset. You'll be up and running in minutes.. 1-click setup...automatic restore.
*Flash custom ROMs/Kernels, etc..
*Having system-wide access also allows control over bloatware/pre-installed malware... basically, you can completely delete or disable any app.. be careful, delete the wrong one(s) and end up royally screwed.

As for how safe it is to unroot your device. That lies entirely on your firmware... Coded properly and you should experience zero issues... Else, you might suffer a soft brick or even worse... a hard brick, making your device a paperweight/door-stopper.. tongue.gif

I have always rooted all my android mobile devices from day one... biggrin.gif

TLDR: Soft brick = recoverable... Hard brick: almost impossible to recover. The device has moved on to a better place... tongue.gif

A soft brick, is basically when your device is stuck in a boot-loop, and as the name implies, is caused by a software error, usually the lack of a system to boot from or some other minor software bug that causes a boot glitch. They are easily fixable by reflashing your ROM in recovery.

Now then, as mentioned earlier a hard brick is where you're device won't boot at all. You have to either repair it yourself, using a JTAG or send it into a JTAG service to have it fixed. These are usually caused by people flashing ROMs or kernels not meant for their device. Flashing a ROM/file not meant for your device, can throw your system through a nasty loop (won't even power on), because it also flashes the kernel.

The kernel is what allows your phones software to interact with the hardware. It contains all the necessary info for boot, and also your phones drivers. There's a line in the kernel called "bootclasspath", and if this isn't what it should be for your device, you will get a hard brick, as this line tells your phone how to boot.

Exactly...Do not proceed with such steps unless you know exactly how it'll end up or willing to live with either good/bad results.. smile.gif
