[Q] How to unroot my Galaxy S ? - General Questions and Answers

Hello ...
I got a problem. I have a rooted samsung galaxy s 2.3.3. I rooted it using a tutorial that I found on XDA (used Odin 1.83). Well, after rooting, I got 3 apps: CWM, Tweaks and Superuser. Now that I put my applications back with Titanium Backup, I want to un-root it. Any ideas ?
I saw at Odin that to root it I need a rooted PDA file. Should I try to find an stock PDA file ?
By the way: I suceed removing superuser with GingerBreak 1.2, but I don't know how to remove the CWM and Tweaks.
Also, I don't want to lose any data (like applications, if possible)
Baseband is: XXJVQ (I don't want to change it)
Android was updated via Samsung Kies.
Thanks

[Q] Rooting Samsung Galaxy i5500

Hello all,
I have had my Galaxy i5500 for awhile now and have used odin to flash updates for the firmware etc.
I have recently rooted my phone using Superoneclick and this worked fine. Overclocked the phone, and ran a number of Apps using SuperUser Access to gain all the benefits from this.
I installed Titanium Backup and Installed it on my SD Card, this caused a number of problems and I had to pull the battery on my phone to reboot it. Anyway it then hung at the GT-I5500 screen and I ended up having to download a new firmware (not custom) and use Odin to update it.
I now have a working phone, however I now can't root it. I have tried Superoneclick, that no longer works. I have also tried Universal Androot..with that I get an error message of Root Failed - No Fu Guu (or something like that) and I have just tried using z4root... with that it says acquiring Root Shell and then it just kicks me out...have checked and it's not rooted.
I also can't seem to access the reboot menu on my phone (the one where you press a couple of buttons to enter the menu where you can factory set your phone.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Other than these problems mentioned, the phone works as it should
Solved....
It took awhile of trying different root software but.... after reflashing my phone with another stock rom, I found Super One Click still didn't work, nor did z4root or universal Androot (I'm guessing it would have worked without reflashing a different rom).
I did however find that Unlock Root 2.2 worked! My phone is now flashed, no error messages and I have Superuser Access!! Now time to install a custom bootloader and start with the custom roms!!

[Q] How to succesfully update CWM and CF-Root

Hi guys,
I have the international version of the Galaxy S3 and I have a little problem. The first thing I did when I've got it was root it with Odin and everything went fine but now I see the rooting doesn't work as it should. Buisybox says it needs to be rooted and SuperSu is configured to allow everything. Also, when I launch CWM Manager (v3.55) a popup says that it should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer.
My question is, how should I update everything? When I format/upgrade my old Galaxy S2 to give it to my dad, I simply flashed CF-Root to the CW10 and it broke the phone's boot. Luckily I had backed up everything using CF-Root the day before. Should I uninstall it first? How? And how can I do it without loosing the backup I'll make to my S3 before I try anything?
What I mean is... how can I update everything in a "clean" way?
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Trying to flash to 4.1.2 (Canadian); Status: Custom

I'm currently on 4.0.4 (Canadian version) N8010 and I want to update to 4.1.2 (canadian? not sure if it really makes a difference). I get the notification for the update, but when I select it, it fails, and it also fails with Kies.
When I first got the note I opted for the exynos exploit to root my tablet. I was under the impression that if I disabled root from the app my status would revert back to "non-custom". I've uninstalled exynosabuse and busybox (i think supersu uninstalled with the root disabled) and I've restarted multiple times and waited a few hours. No change. I think I'll try to re-enable root and restore some apps that I froze with titanium backup to see if it reverts back.
The other option I guess would be to get the Canadian rom and flash via Oden. although I think that would wipe by note, which i would like to avoid. I found some links to the canadian rom, but they're down.
Thanks for the help/advice.

Did you install a custom recovery or do you still have stock recovery installed and can you tell us your ROM's build number.

I still have the stock rom, I haven't installed anything custom, just use the exploit for the root access.
Build number: IMM76D.N8010WALG4

Without a stock 4.1.2 firmware for your device it looks like you are going to have to do a factory reset to use Kies.
I think your options are limited..........
Have you considered using a firmware from another country?
You know there is a backup program called Helium that does not need root, you may want to consider using it to backup all of your data and then do a factory reset.
I don't know if I have helped you any............

[Resolved] [Q] Rooting lost

Hello,
Until today, I was using the v18 of the Omega ROM on my Galaxy Note 2 and today I installed the v26. But the Wifi was bugging, so I tried to flash the fix from CWM. I didn't manage because it didn't find the file and when I quitted CWM, my root has been disabled. Since that, I don't manage to root it again, I have done like many tutos but each time, even if the software like Odin was telling me it was OK, when I launched SuperSU, it tells me that no SU Binaries is installed. I have tried to uninstall/reinstall, I have also tried with Framaroot, but it tells me to try with another exploit, but there is only one...
I don't know what to do, I can't back up my folders and apps with titanium backup without root... Do you have a solution ?
EDIT : I have installed again CWM recovery, and then the Omega ROM. And everything is good now.

What's the best method to root S6 without PC?

Hey,
I'd like to root my S6 (normal phone, no branding or so) without using a PC to make it easier. What is the best method to root the S6 that is known yet?
I want to delete some apps which can not deleted without root. So what app or method should I use?
I hope I still can get updates from Samsung after that?
I heard there should be some way..
Thank you so much for your help
only with PC
root=no OTA updates
I've just installed stock firmware, twrp , tyrannus kernel (in that order !) by using Odin 3.11.2 (but i suggest you use the latest version of Odin)
After that i flashed "superuser" zip file in twrp ,and the phone is rooted.
I installed Titanium backup and did freeze some samsung bloat and other unused apps or services.
I must say the phone works like a charm and very fast !
BTW : I did had some security message , but it dissapeared after i froze "securitylogagent" service.
I don't know if i can give the link for the firmware because it seems "sammobile" is very popular here , but maybe you can search for the developer "Wicky" on androidfilehost
Goood luck , Kuoi
