      Latest Banks apps can detect root status. So, It is safe to use Bank apps in a non-rooted environment.

    Hello,

    Hello,
    I eventually uninstalled the Magisk and now have an unlocked but non-rooted phone. Oddly, although my last update was April 2019, OTA says I am up to date. Which way would I be able to get all the security updates that came and then update to Android 10?

    Thank you so much for your tips so far!

    Hello,
    I understood the following:
    1. once I unroot in magisk, I select Uninstall and Complete Uninstall. Would I be able to the OTA Android 10 after that (I don’t want to stay rooted)? Would I keep my data?
    or
    2. If I want to stay rooted, can I use TWRP to install Android 10 but then I would lose my data, right?
    Or is it more complicated?
    Best regards
    Tom

      Yes. Flash using TWRP may result in lost data. When You un-install the Root, you can use the OTA option.

    I would like to return to an unrooted version. Do you have a guide for that? And would it delete my data?

        Oh, that seems effortless. But will it wipe the phone clean, and once it is uninstalled, how would I install the original version again?
        Thank you

          Backup is a precaution. We are not going to wipe the user data. We only wipe the cache data in recovery. After the successful Root, you can install the updates using TWRP.

            Q is out for the 5t: Can I install Android 10 without losing the data by this method – uninstall via magisk.
            Keeping the root still, involves switching from Official TWRP to BluSpark?

          • Selva Ganesh says

            May 29, 2020 at 2:36 pm

            To Keep Root, you should install the full firmware using TWR, Which will result in data loss.
