Hey everyone, let me first say that if this isn't in the correct area of the forum, my sincere apologies. Now onto the main question. So, awhile back I rooted my Samsung Replenish because a good friend of mine recommended that I do so. I really enjoyed it at first, but now I'm starting to have the worry of possibly getting caught by my provider. That, or I have to take the phone in for maintenance and they deny me service because it's rooted. So, my basic question really is how do I unroot root my Replenish? I spoke to someone and they told me to flash it back to the stock ROM. But I have no idea how to do that. Thank so much guys, I really appreciate it.
Just flashing back to stock does not actually unroot it. You should probably check under the forum created for your phone for a quide in how to unroot it.
I can't seem to find the thread for the Samsung Replenish.
I'm not sure what it should be but you might need to use a codename of some sort for the thread. If there indeed is no threat there should be a post somewhere around the forums which tells a rooting method also works for your phone. It's not unlikely your phone shares a bootloader with another samsung phone
I'm an extreme noob when it comes to this sort of thing, so if someone could please help guide me through this, it'd be very appreciated. My phone is acting up so I have to take it in. So the sooner it's unrooted, the better.

I got a LG p500. This is my 1st android phone and I found that "rooting" is the way to go. I googled and I cant really find a good list benefits that rooting can give me. Over the risk involved, that's a lot.
Now let me ask this first, as a casual user, what other benefits can rooting give me? I heard that I need to root before I can install apps to SD but I got an app that can do that. So what else?
What scares me is that I found a lot of posts that says that they got their LG p500 bricked. But reading this forums, I found that there mis now a one click root but I dont see the name of my phone in the compatibility list. Can anyone help me?
I'm not asking for you too spoon feed me, I'm just asking for a right amount of guidance. Thanks in advance!!
Nothing wrong with being a newb... gotta start somewhere, right?
Honestly, if you can do all that you need/want right now without rooting then don't root. Really rooting it is if you want to get into mod'ing, hacking and deep tech-ness from your device. There are some apps out there that require root in order to run, but as you said, you're a casual user.
If you do want to get into mod/hack/tech-guru-ness/etc. more and can wait til there is a safer one-click solution for your device, wait. Don't want to brick and [possibly] void the warranty right?
Best of luck and welcome to the fold, my friend.

Actually, I just wanna do most of the stuff my phone will allow me, I dont like to be just 'scratching the surface' I wanna go deep and understand android.
with that said, I have used the z4 root, the 1 click root i got from this forums. it worked well. I have also spent a good few hours fixing my adb and i think i got it to work.
Now the problem is the 3 button boot. everytime i do it, my whole phone gets wiped, i figured i'm doing something wrong but what? how can i fix this? thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I am a new user to an Android Device (Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000); before that I always had a Windows Mobile phone, and I must say now that I am very content with my new device and it's new software. Android works really smooth!
Also, I learned that there is a lot of software to be used on an Android Device, but then your device needs to be rooted first. Now, this is what I would very much like to know...
Is rooting my device a safe procedure?
After rooting my device, am I still able then (if so wished) to restore it back to it's factory settings?
Are there any risks involved?
What about my warranty?
Why should I, or should I NOT, start rooting my device?
What rooting procedure should you suggest to me?
In a way, I am very eager to start rooting my device, but on the other hand I find it a bit scary...
Could you please help me out here?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you!

1. Safe if you know what you're doing.
2. Yes you can revert back to stock
3. You can soft/hard brick your phone if you aren't careful
4. Warranty will be void
4. You should root your phone since you can put custom roms on it, wifi hotspot, debloat your phone. Shouldn't root listed above.
5. follow the link below in order to root.

Thank you for your reply. It all "looks" very easy, although I have a few questions left...
Regarding:
1. "Safe if you know what you're doing." - Do you mean by that: just follow the steps?
3. "You can soft/hard brick your phone if you aren't careful." - What IS a "soft/hard brick" of your phone. In what way then, should I be careful?
Maybe it is NOT fair of me to ask you, also, it seems to me that you are very familiar with it, but would you recommend a novice like me (in this case) to root his new phone, less then a month old, considering the "risks", if there are any, in view of the possible advantages I might find with a rooted phone?
Robert,

Well I'm sure most of the case, people end up soft or hard bricking their phone because they havent read the directions over and over again and get a little too ambitious. Soft bricking is recoverable but when you flash an incorrect rom or kernel, basically keeps boot looping I think. But you can still get into fastboot or recovery. Hard brick is when your phone won't turn on after messing around with the bootloader or something. Sorry, I can't really explain the technical stuff myself as I'm still learning. I'm familiar with rooting and flashing roms on several phones but I don't know if I would say I'm "very familiar" with it. If you're going to be rooting phones often, then I would suggest you learn the steps involved but I mean if this is gonna be the only phone you root and you're not confident in yourself, then I would suggest either a) get it done by someone who knows what they are doing, b) buy one thats already rooted.
OK, thank you for your honest reply. I'll surely take this into consideration. For now, I think, I'll keep my phone the way it is right now - it's doing just fine...
Still, if anyone, with maybe more experience in rooting phones, would like to reply to this thread, I would not mind at all.
Thank you!

hi everyone..
i m new to dis forum..
i own galaxy note with updated firmware(gingerbread 2.3.6ddlb2)..
i want to know how can i root it with super one click..
and what is the process to unroot it as well..
please reply...
read the following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
I was looking for a definite answer as well, as to whether it is safe or not and if so which method, not looking to read several reams of posts that mean little to me. I have read that Samsung chips are defective and rooting the two offered methods on this site are dangerous. So no developments in the past 3-4 months? If so I would have expected a split thread for this from the other ones...either way. Have no time to read filler on forums from end users.
I've rooted phones before all without any issues and always find having to read through forums posts are fruitless endeavors, easier to just do it. But this phone is someone else's and I need to ensure I HAVE A LITTLE MORE RESPONSIBILITY HERE.
I only want to root their phone and nothing more, so they can take control of their security.

CAPTCHA codes suck!
What is with Capthca codes?
Just to let people know I have tried to root using one click method and it failed! No harm to phone but ineffective. The one posted at addictivetips. I never have had a one click method for for me to date, in all years at rooting phones. So anyone that can verify for me a method that does work, I will be grateful. A step by step guide, do not care how many steps or how much I have to type in! Just something that works without fail.
TY :angel:
Hates Captcha codes...use a different method.

Rooting Galaxy Note GT-N7000 with KK7
Hello Guys,
I'm not knew to root. Did it twice but that was on Galaxy S3's. The Note is not as easy.
The 3rd Droid needs to be rooted, because the carrier has no upgrade from GB 2.3.6!
Also, this Note is SIM locked, can I root with it? I do not find an online site to unlock my Carrier. Tried them all.
I searched all over this site for days but do not find a CF-Root for this kernel, KK7
Hope you can point me in the correct direction.
Here is all the info from my phone:
PDA: N7000UBKK7
PHONE: N7000WEKK1
CSC: N7000UWEKK1
Thanks, you guys are doing a great job!
Can someone here please post a backup of the stock T-Mobile USA ROM, as in out-of-the-box condition (well, rooted is acceptable, but otherwise stock)?
I also need to get a hold of the radio for it. If anyone can provide this, it would be greatly appreciated.

been tons of posts asking for this. hopefully someone pulls through!

What would be necessary to create this? I'm still running a stock, non-rooted, locked bootloader phone. I've of course linked to my Google accounts and installed my usual apps but that's it.
I'm no dev and my experience is limited to knowing how to use Odin and I've flashed many a ROM via CWM but I don't really have any experience with adb or anything like that.
Having said that, I can follow directions like nobody so if there is a way I can do this that is low/no (yeah, I know no doesn't exist) risk I'm game. Just tell me what I need to do or someone get on IM and walk me through it.
I just don't want to be in a situation where I end up with a brick. I can't afford another phone and I'm really loving my One S. As much as I love custom ROMs it's not bad out of the box (I'm coming from Touchwiz so I know the pain) but I also understand the need and importance for the development community of a good stock image to revert back to.
Is what you guys are wanting basically a nandroid backup? If so that would require unlocked bootloader, root and CWM wouldn't it?
I'm uploading a rooted nandroid ROM and a unrooted one. Check out my thread in development section.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA
Hello everyone ,
Im a long time iPhone user and am now getting into android a little bit. I bought a Verizon Galaxy s3 and rooted it. I then downloaded and flashed a custom rom directly from my phone. I installed it and when it rebooted I was stuck on "system software not authorized by verizon wireless" screen. I later found out it was because my bootloader was not unlocked. I have a mac so im trying to use Heimdall to return to stock firmware and retry but I honestly do not know enough about flashing and do not want to brick this phone.
I am hoping someone can help me using heimdall. I have read for 2 days I just am not familiar enough with the lingo yet coming from the apple side. I always help people when jailbreaking so Im hoping that karma is on my side and I can get some guidance lol.
I am also not against paying for this help I just want to learn the right way to do this without bricking my phone.
Thanks guys,
Brandon
I'm not usually one to make an account just to post and ask for help as I usually find it annoying on most forums I frequent, but at this point I am stuck.
I've tried the kingroot app, that didn't help. I used the desktop version, but it's in chinese and from what I could tell it wanted me to enable developer options, which I did, and it still wasn't registering my phone as being plugged in.
I've searched, and searched, google, here, a few other forums. From what I've pulled either this phone is nearly impossible to root or I'm just doing it wrong. I'd like to know what steps I need to take to root my phone, or if rooting this phone is even possible. Thank you very much for your help.

Do not follow or use anything that the other member posted for you. It is not for your device, you have the T-mobile(are you sure it isn't AT&T?) I337, not the I337M. They are totally different animals.
Verify which one you actually have.

Yeah I just figured that out. Thankfully I'm really paranoid about bricking my phone.. Anyway, this was originally an AT&T phone, but I switched over to t-mobile.
Edit: For clarifications sake this is an i337 not an i337m

Yes, I was pretty sure of that anyway, that's why I asked.
Try this thread below, it has many things for your device from Returning to stock via Odin, Downgrading to KK to root, Updating, etc..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/guide-odin-to-stock-updating-rooting-t2926642
Pay close attention to the rooting and consider the downgrade to root if you think you need to, I don't have the I337 so I haven't had to research that deep into it. Root on lollipop if you can or go back to kit kat if you have to as long as you understand it and you are sure it's safe, downgrading can cause problems but I don't think that applies in this case, I'm not 100% sure of that though. Good luck.
