Guys pls.help me.I rooted my Samsung Galxay s i9003.It was succesfull but my phone became Samsung Galaxy s i9000.Even the version of my phone went lower. Should I unroot it?
I used superoneclick to root my phone
no no you shouldnt unroot it its allright
Is there a way to bring back the phone to it's original version?I had 2.2.2 before I rooted it.I tried to ipe everything including formatting my internal sd card.But the kernell is still there.How can I flash my phone to it's original state.Froyo 2.2.2.So my warranty won' be voided. ^_^
Also all the root applications only reads my phone as GT-I9000 not as GT-I9003. So I can't even overclock CPU.I tried the Set CPU full version.But it anly ready 1000 mh which is my stock CPU for GT-I9003.
You can not "unvoid" your warranty.
There is no such thing as "unvoiding your warranty".
Wipe and reset only clears user data and sets to factory defaults.
The factory defaults also is the new kernel now, because you changed it.
You can to make sure that no one noticed that you flashed your phone.
Find the originals kernel/rom that was on it and flash it back.
You might also need to reset the flash counter using a JIG.
Thanks guyz for the reply.I will check out procedure to flash tomm.I think that would be the best option atm.

Phone: Rogers Captivate
Rooted via OneClick & RyanZA OCLF installed.
Question: Can I run the Factory Data Reset without causing undo harm to the phone? The last thing I need is a brick. I'd like to get back to Factory defaults, I don't care if I lose root or anything, I can re-root. I'm just having problems with Mobile AP and I want to go back to bone stock and try again.
Anyone done this before after root and OCLF?
Hmmm....guess I'm on my own for this one...
Undo the Ryan ZA lagfix, then restore to defaults. Might ask for a passcode.
You probably wont lose root but if you do, hey its one click away

Looking to gift my 7+ to my sister by doing a factory reset to return to unrooted stock. Flashed the European ICS a while back from HC via Mobile ODIN, Been reading about the Superbrick Bug on some Samsung devices has me a tad leery.
Probably know the answer but thought I'd ask regardless. Any instances of problems with reset given the above 7+ profile? Now that US ICS is out would quite probably update to US ICS afterwards.
Suggestions? Thoughts? Idle ramblings?
thanks

As of right now be sure that you all are extemely cautious when trying to flash any type of ICS package (be it firmware, a ROM, or any type of system running it). Our tablet may have an issue with ICS as many other galaxy devices have. A bug currently exists that corrupts the mounting of the data partition on the device which *MAY* lead to a permanent hard bricking of your device.
This is currently a very RARE issue, however, those who are not well educated in Android development and that do not know how to 100% reset their tablet should refrain from flashing any type of ICS ROM or ODIN package.
If you have already flashed an ICS ODIN package or are running CM9 safely and have been for a good amount of time.
For those of you who insist on upgrading to ICS, backup your entire ROM and make sure that you have the stock HC ODIN package. Although it probably won't help having them if you are hard bricked.
My personal experience is positive, from honeycomb , i am past to CM9 , then with ODIN to flashing ICS , I do not have locked the device , there were problems with bootloop ,but solved by using a wipe data , factory reset from the recovery..

If you need to reset it, DO NOT FACTORY RESET FROM ICS RECOVERY. Flash back to hc with Odin, then do a factory reset there, or install cwm recovery and reset it from there (probably the route I would take, as it is far easier)

as per what i did, i have done factory reset from within the settings menu, which rebooted my device to stock recovery.
the initial reset was fine, but when i flashed the new asian ICS firmware, i did a reset from the stock recovery itself, which have bricked my tab.
so, be careful with factory reset, as it also uses the default recovery (correct me if i understand it wrong).
Hi,
I bought a P6800 (came with DXLP7 ROM, Singapore version) one month ago. Its WIFI worked great in my work place but wifi could not connect to my router at home. I received OTA updates(~20 MB) few days ago which updated the ROM to DXLP8. DXLP8 solved my wifi connection issue at home but wifi connection is much slower now when I use it in my work place. I’d like to flash it back to stock ROM DXLP7 (found on sammobile.com) since I mainly use the p6800 at work.
Here is the status of the P6800:
• Stock ROM ICS 4.04 DXLP8
• Rooted using this method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849235)
• Factory reset using “setting”->”backup and reset”-> factory reset
• Factory reset in recover mode (hold volume up and power button->Select wipe cache, Select wipe data/factory reset)
If I flash ROM to stock ROM DXLP7 using odin, will that brick the P6800? Please help.
Many thanks
John
The dangerous part was the factory reset on stock kernel.
If it survived that you should be ok to flash.
You can always install and run the emmc brick bug test app from play store
since you are rooted, just to be sure.
Anyway, avoid to factory reset the P6800 it can kill your device anytime.

Thanks friedje,
I'm a newbie to Android. I will do emmc brick bug test to check it. and I will not do factory reset again.
Thanks again!
Not so much to do with being newbie, samsung screwed up the Galaxy note and the P6800 (amongst others) , by putting faulty emmc chips inside. Under Gingerbread or Honeycumb there is no problem, but with ICS a factory reset can hard brick your Tab.
Since I own both, I need to betwice as careful
Thread moved to Q & A section, post in the relevant section next time.

Hi friedje,
I checked the emmc bug it showed no issue. I successfully flashed the ROM to DXLP7.
BTW, I have a note too, looks we have the same interest on those gadgets.
Many thanks for your help!
You may try the SkyHigh version of LP8.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1978573
It has some tweaks to the rom.
Goodluck!

So day before yesterday my dads phone asus zenfone 2 (Z00AD) went into bootloop. it kept booting repeatedly never making it to the home screen. anyway, he took it to asus repair and we got the phone back today. its back to normal but all data is lost. (We had not backed up anything) I downloaded a few android data recovery softwares like mobikin and dr fone but they require the android to be rooted to scan for lost data.
Now my question is, do you think its possible to recover data once the phone has been flashed? I am apprehensive to do the rooting and will only go ahead with it if there is a real chance some lost data may be recovered through such android data recovery softwares.
Please advise. Should I go ahead and root and give it a try?
thank you so much in advance.
You should have backed up before taking it the center(you could have flashed a custom recovery and enable mtp mode and backed up to pc).after a stock ROM is flashed chances of recovery is almost nill.
Just one question, why did you take it down to the shop? It is easy as hell to fix a bricked device. I remember taking down my device to the shop twice and got a new one twice but I managed now to fix it. You will most likely have gotten a replacement for your device. Also, if there is root availible for your device, there are stock rom images to flash via fastboot.
Hello everyone, I need your help !
So I want to sell my Galaxy S8+ (G955F) but my potential buyer wants to get rid off root, so I flashed Android 7.0 via ODIN. Problem is with Samsung Health app, because immediately after launch an error occurs because this app will not work on rooted device (error 0x110060null5e2830). Any app for root detection isn't detecting root, so where is the problem? What can I do to make this app, and everything from Samsung, work?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English

What do you mean at #4? So basically I need to do exactly what on this video below? What about all of this when device will be restored to the factory settings? Will the application still work or will it be necessary to carry out the whole process again? And what about OTA updates from Samsung?

do it like in the video that works,if you then run the stockrom, after unroot, then you have to use the home csc instead of csc. otherwise everything will be deleted. translated with googel, hope you can understand

Ok, so this is what have I done, maybe someone will find this useful:
1. Root stock Samsung firmware (XEO version, Android 7.0)) with Magisk;
2. Found this build.prop file and changed value ro.config.tima from 1 to 0 and saved the file;
3. Samsung Health still wasn't working, but I restarted the device and app starts to work;
4. Unroot phone by flashing stock Samsung firmware (Android 7.0) via ODIN, BUT, as you suggested, I used HOME_CSC file;
5. Update the phone to Android 8.0 via OTA update;
6. Samsung Health works!;
7. Restore phone to the factory settings;
And something went wrong here, because Samsung Health app again isn't working, still the same error occurs. Why? Is it because I restored the factory settings for this potential buyer? Well, he eventually will do this by himself... Is it because factory reset resets the changed value in build.prop? Is it possible to factory reset the phone without the necessity for editing build.prop all over again just to get rid of that error?

when the Knox fuse is blown (meaning you flashed twrp or a custom rom) you will never be able to use SHealth or Samsung Pay on that phone unless you root first. (I don't think Samsung Pay will ever work, but as stated earlier, there is a work around to get SHealth working again but you have to be rooted to do it.)
This is a hard ware thing - the phone knows that something was flashed on it - and samsung decieded that for security reasons, when soemthnig is flashed - ever - that phone is potentially corrupt and will not allow those apks to work on them. (as I said, the only way around that is to have some kind or work around you can use after you root the device) AND if rooted - you will not receive samsung OTA's.

I know about the OTA's, but I received one today (with Android 8.0) BEFORE I decided to factory reset this phone. Before this even Samsung Health app was working.
Ok, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I can edit this ro.config.tima from 1 to 0 value so many times I want, but if I someone will try to factory reset this phone everything will be undone to the previous state (when ro.config.tima is 1 again, instead of 0) and actually nothing can be done to get rid of root permanently and make Samsung app works?
but if I someone will try to factory reset this phone everything will be undone to the previous state
that's it, why do you do it? factory reset??
you do not need that at the update

As I mentioned above, I want to sell this phone and my potential buyer wants me to unroot the device, because he wants to use Samsung apps (like Samsung Health and all the others), he also mentioned that he wants to pull out the phone of the box "like he would buy the new one by himself" and because of this I tried to factory reset via option in settings. He would eventually do it himself and I want to avoid any problems because of this
So... Absolutely nothing can be done?
