Hi all :)
It’s been a while since I modded a phone, so I’m a bit out of touch. If I root my phone and uninstall some apps, can I remove root afterwards so that I can use things like banking apps without workarounds?
I’ve got a Xiaomi Mi 10t Lite 5g, and it keeps automatically reinstalling its own apps, which then screw up my apps because they take over functions.
If I can completely remove apps rather than just hiding them, that would be a bonus.
Thanks for your help :)
yes, I rooted my old phone to install custom ROM and save the recovery( my Chinese phone would remove custom recovery if I didn’t root
iirc, the process was miui->twrp+pixel exp.+magisk+format data then I had a rooted phone but I didn’t need the root so I flashed pixel exp. and did a format data again and magisk was gone
root should go away after clean flashing the ROM again as the update guides always say if you want to retain root, flash magisk after flashing ROM
That’s helpful, thanks :)
you can uninstall custom ROMs and thats all i know
It depends on what method you use. If you just need a temporary shell as root to fully uninstall system apps, try out a temporary root method like mtk-su.
If that doesn’t work, you can use SnoopSnitch to check your Android security patch level and see if there’s any “Privilege Escalation” exploit that you can take advantage of.
