Root CWR still on phone.

take that back... im going to reroot. before rooting it says do a factory restore on your phone well i still have CWR can i do a factory restore from the phone or should i do it on CWR? i have unrooted and updated.

assuming you are on ZVD, just root, then do the option that removes cwm, then the one that unroots. just make sure no apps you downloaded were converted to system apps with TB, if they were, they convert them into user apps. make sure too you have all the apps that came with the phone

so would i do option 6 while rooted to take of CWR and unroot?

Once you updated to ZVD do a factory reset and everything will be restored, and the phone also has the stock recovery already on it since you updated it. ;)
so your way would be, downgrade to ZVB then upgrade to ZVD and that removes root and everything. then i would do a factory reset (inphones settings) and that would also remove the CWR? are you 100% sure?

anytime you upgrade it breaks roots and also restores the original phone recovery, just like when zvc came out it broke root and restored everything back to stock. :bike:
