Can't you "unroot" with some app?
I have read that same people unroot with SuperSU, because they can upgrade firmware with OTA.

There's some details that don't make sense. When I've bought my box, there was a question if this unit was rooted and Beelink answered with yes.  I bought the very box and I was successfully able to update once with the OTA update.

My neighbour bought a box per my recommendations. Hers was 2GB+16GB GT1 Standard, and that received two OTA updates in a short-time. I'm pretty sure hers suppose to be rooted also.

The difference between the two, I've modified the system file to apply the workaround for the dark screen. Afterwards OTA kept failing, from the research, rooted devices can do OTA. However if you manipulate system area like the file to apply the dark screen workaround, It'll break OTA updates.

Everyone who've bought this box because of it being rooted, they wouldn't appreciate if the OTA and official firmware posts started serving unrooted updates. It'll have to be strictly the other option, or it'll ruffle many people's feathers.

The only hiccup that I see is, or with at least Netflix.. you needing to manually download the APK file instead of being capable of doing it via Google Play Store. To maintain this app, you have to manually seek the updates and apply every-time. However this is more desirable to me, and likely many, instead of not being able to manipulate the system area of the box.

Netflix 5.x versions of the app works, unless you've applied the dark screen workaround. You'll then be faced with Netflix not able to play videos. If you don't apply the workaround, then the screen is to dark on the global scale, videos and photo viewing.

I've read other boxes had similar issues and they fixed without using bootvideo. Why is these here GT1 Standard / Ultimate boxes continuing a year? now with this issue? Doesn't Beelink company hear our cries?!?
