Un-Root with broken USB port?

I am helping a buddy with his Infuse 4G, and his USB port is broken. He has a stock rom on it, but it's still rooted. He needs to replace it for a CLNR replacement phone but we gotta unroot first. How can this be done without ODIN? In the stock recovery it has a flash package option, can it be done that way? If so where can I find the file? The only problem is that SuperUser won't go away lol

Are u going thru att to get the phone replaced if so i sent mine back with root still on it with no problems so to speak but see this thread for further info and see if its something that will help u out at least deleting the system files. Just an idea

I figured it won't be too big of a deal as long as it looks stock with no special boot animations or something, I had a friend return a phone to T mobile that had root but nothing otherwise, stock recovery, etc. But my friend is quite worried because it can be an insane .

won't doing a factory reset from settings > privacy unroot it? it wipes your SD card, so this should be all that you have to do...

I dont think that unroots it...i think there is a master crazy dialer code that might. i was undery the impression that factory reset is just the same as wiping data

Wiping cleared all but super user, what's the dialer code?

Sorry, I am bit confused...you did a full wipe, didn't flash a new rom and the old one is working?...have you tried swapping SIM Cards before? because not all sim cards are compatible with unlock Inspire....search the Ace Hack Kit thread, because someone came into that problem....

Hope it helps...
EDIT: Sorry I just saw the error message the phone is sending you...haven't you erased anything?...If the sim card is ATT it doesn't matter is the phone is rooted or not....but haven't you erased anything? try using this menu:
dial * # * # 4 6 3 6 # * # * and then go to bands pressing menu. Check if the bands there.

I had a ton of stuff on the phone she did not want, So I did a full wipe and flashed the HD revolution rom again and still no service. I understand that not all sims will work but even putting mine back in there is no service.
Can it be something wrong with the radio?

Perhaps...but if you didn't change radios, have you?...then it might not be that.
Do the following...try go flash ARHD againg or an Stock rom and see what happens....maybe you had a bad flash....

IMEI issue

Hey guys,
Did some searching but couldnt find anything about my specific problem. Recently installed a couple new ROMs and when I was backing up and restoring between them (with CWM) I somehow lost my IMEI and it was showing as B000000000. I made the mistake (you learn the hard way I guess!) of not backing up my IMEI beforehand, but my first question is how could it get lost by performing CWM backup/restores? Improper data/cache wiping?
I came across the IMEI repair writeup using QPST to manually write a new NV and that seemed to work. However when I rebooted, the IMEI was one number short (ie- my IMEI is 15 numbers and the phone was displaying the first 14 but cutting off the last number) and I still have no service, and I'm not roaming. My second question is, does anyone have any ideas where to go from here??
Thanks!
Mike

Are you sure you followed everything in this post ?

There is stuff in the last pages about downgrading your phones radio if there is issues. I don't really know because I haven't had this issue and had backed up all my stuff before messing with my phone. Either way questions about that issue should be asked in there.
Good luck!

Thanks for moving the thread, sorry about the misplacement. Mercuie - I tried the method you linked me to and ran into an issue with the software. When I plug my phone in, my computer's dev manager sees it on port COM14, and when I run the software there is an option in the dropdown menu to select COM14, but it is unable to connect. The ERI status just sits there trying to connect and if I click anything else in the GUI it crashes the program. A reboot of my phone and computer doesn't help. I have MS Vista with .NET 3.5 installed, but not sure if I have the right diagnostic drivers...
edit: tried using the samsung MEID repair tool again and this time when i try to connect to COM14 a red ! comes up and says "In user or invalid port". Not sure why since device manager is definitely still showing my phone as COM14, but it's not crashing anymore

I think my issue is resolved guys =) The QPST injection worked, I just needed to wait long enough for it to reestablish connection on Verizon's network. Thanks!

just kidding! I jumped the gun with my previous post. My mobile data was restored for about 10 minutes then it was lost again. Not really sure what's going on here and why i have intermittent connection. My IMEI in Setting>About Device>Status is correct.

Probably need to reprovision your phone/sim card.
I don't have the key sequence handy ... do a search in these forums for reprovision.
Edit: Enter *2767*3855# into your dialer. This will factory reset your phone, which includes wiping your internal sd.

thanks for the reply. I backed up everything including my internal sd card onto my external card and ran the reprovision sequence. The phone reset, but everything in /mnt/sdcard is still there and I still do not have service. IMEI/MEID seem to still be intact as well my phone number, but Network is Unknown, Mobile network state is disconnected, ERI version is none, and IP address is unavailable. Thoughts??
Edit: tried the reprovision a second time and now I'm Roaming

Bump.. anything guys n gals?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Don't know if this will help, but try removing your sim card and rebooting phone. Shut down phone, reinsert card, reboot and see what happens.
If still no service, reprovision again.
Edit: If you are roaming, you have service. The roaming prompt is a persistent problem with imei restoration that I don't think has been solved yet.

Have you tried to reprovision since getting it fixed? Also, the tool that is linked that you tried and didn't have any luck with is suppose to fix your problem. I haven't tried it but others have had success with the same problem that you are having.

No luck. I removed the SIM, rebooted and it had nothing, then powered down, reinserted the SIM, and rebooted and still roaming. Also tried another reprovision and same result. I know I technically still have service since I can make/receive calls, but I have nothing in the way of mobile data and don't want to turn roaming data on for fear of extra charges. Is it worth brining to Verizon at this point to see if they can do anything? I mean I don't really see them doing much beyond factory reset and playing with the SIM card, which I've already done.
@HHF2:
Yes I reprovisioned multiple times after restoring my IMEI with no luck. The QPST tool worked to restore my IMEI. I saw the Samsung repair tool had an option for ERI repair I believe, but I was never able to get it to connect to my phone via COM port without crashing.

I would try a different computer if you have installed all of the correct drivers for the computer that you are using.

Think he already tried this ... there is still no guaranteed way to fix this problem.
Most people have resolved it by getting replacement phones ...
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

No luck from a different computer. No luck with a replacement SIM card i got from Verizon. A member in another thread posted about how he was in the same situation and was able to flash a downgraded modem and get the Samsung repair tool to repair his ERI, then flash the new modem again. I will try that route next. If still nothing then I'll probably have to Odin back to stock and see if that fixes it and if not then lobby for a new phone :\

I've encountered a number of people (myself included) who have used this tool (which was made specifically to repair roaming status, mind you), to repair the roaming issue after an IMEI injection. So yes, there is a guaranteed way to fix the roaming issue. No point in getting a replacement handset.
OP: I was able to get the connection for ERI repair after downgrading my modem too, so I definitely recommend trying that. If you can get that to connect, you should be back in business.

Glad to hear! So before I do anything just wanted to verify... How did you go about flashing the downgraded modem? Just placing it in the root of your external sd card, rebooting into [CWM] recovery, doing a data/cache wipe/factory reset, and installing from zip (VRLF2)? Then run the Samsung repair tool and once (hopefully) data is restored, do the same thing to flash the latest modem (VRLHE)? My next step was to Odin back to stock but I'd like to try this method first since it seems to have worked for you.

Good for you.
Unfortunately, not everyone has had the same luck.
Hope the OP has the same fortune as you.
Edit: This sounded unnecessarily dickish. I hope this works for the OP ... I do know owners for whom this did not, for whatever reason, work.

Hi, trying to USE the app GSII_repair from the android store.
Phone phone seems to be having the "no sim card" error come and go, I think there is some weird problem with the radios, pulling my hair out.
No the app i got, that might fix it says you don't have .nv_data.bak and his md5 files, canceled

Your efs may be hosed which wouldn't be good. That's above my grade level. See if cschmitt can help. He's your only hope of it is a hosed efs.
EDIT, I just looked at that app, and sorry dude, but I think you hosed your phone. It messes with the partitions and is not for the i727.

What does your baseband say in settings, about phone? Also, check your apn settings.

try icenight's fix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611796&highlight=icenight
read and try this.
I used that app before and got the same thing. I odin'd back to stock GB at the time. Flashed a gb radio (Ics leak just came out) That worked for me.
However this should fix your problem.

baseband
1727RUXLF3
when i try to go to the "moble networks" menu,and click the apns, there is none, when i try to ad my apn settings, after i fill everything and out and hit save, it is blank under apns.

If I were you I would start from scratch and Odin the newest official release of at&t or Rogers depending on what carrier you're on. Did you reflash the radio?

Thanks for the help so far...
So here is where i am at now..
Have flashed Slim Bean, and various radios, I had the factory firmware on there for a while, it up and running, I have and IMEI number, my sim card it being picked up as it says rogers, but it says "no service".. it's weird because in the APN settings, it gets the settings from the network, they are there (rogers LTE) so it must be connecting somehow right ?
I have tried searching for available networks, nothing comes up, it's like my attennas are off or broken.
Is there any way to force my phone to see if has any antenna working or something ?
Thanks guys for the help, your the best, but I might need a new phone.

[HELP] 4G LTE no longer working.

My phone no longer goes to 4g. if I flash back to the stock rom, then it works.
I've tried slimkat, slimbean, andybonestock, and cyanogenmod. On any custom rom 4g no longer works, only 3g.
Also I am on the latest firmware/radio/modem
My Phone is set to CDMA+LTE/EVDO, and whats weird... is that if I set the subscription type to NV then I GET LTE... but sms and calls do not work, only data.. Switch back to SIM then everything works but only 3g..

This happened to me. You'll need to flash the root66 build with odin. There's a set of instructions somewhere. I would link it but I'm on my tablet. Google it and let me know if you need help.

Do you have a hard case on your phone? Before I put one on I walked into a table corner and busted my sd card. Not a stretch to imagine it happening to a sim card. The back on this phone is way to flimsy.

Ive never dropped it and ive had an otterbox case on it since i got it.
