Noob here,
I am wanting to unroot by samsung galaxy i897 on rogers network in Canada. I just rooted it using the superoneclick method. Now whenever I try to enable my wifi the phone keeps rebooting till I pull the battery and restart. I have decided that I am too stupid to have a rooted phone and am looking for a simple way to unroot my phone and restore it back to the standard gingerbread 2.3 it was running on before. I have tried the super one click unroot method, following the guide on this forum and it hasn't worked.
Thanks
simplest method is to flash to stock firmware
Hit me on the thanks button if you find it useful ; )

Another Noob Question
And how would I go about doing that?
You can use ODIN to flash to stock rom

Ok, so I tried using odin to get back to the stock rogers rom using the roms posted on the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133
But even though odin says it was successful, the firmware is still AT&T. Any ideas why?
Did you try to wipe dalvik cache, wipe data before flashing to stock rom

Found a thread will the proper rogers firmware. All seems to be working well now. I think I was just just using incorrect at&t firmware. Thanks for the help.

Hello, I´m trying to find a ROM to flash in my SGS 4G. Can anyone tell me if I can use the ROM's developed for the Galaxy S and flash it nice and clean in SGS 4G.
By the way, I'm using the stock Froyo and I live outside the US, since I've rooted and unlocked it I've not been able to use my local 2G/3G connection. Does anyone know any solution for that?
Thanks

Infuse is stuck on the samsung logo and it won'tlet me use recovery.. Error about signature.m. Please help. Att infuse 16 gig sd froyo ucke3 I think..lol I did my captivate like 4 times with no problems
Go into the development thread and find gtg's ultimate unbrick thread. It has everything you need, except a Xanax.
Sent from my Infuse. It is what it isn't.
If you can get it into download mode use odin and gtg's unbrick to get back to stock.

So i recently got an galaxy s2 skyrocket and performed my first android root using the skyrocket easy root zergrush app.
I am running stock 2.3.5 and am on ATT . The only things i have done is install the COM, froze the tether, and un installed a few bloatware items
My question is...
How would i restore this to stock? Un root and all?
Also how would i install 2.3.6?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
2.3.6 got pulled, so you'd have to install a custom rom.

That answers alot!
When 2.3.6 or the next release is published will i be able to get it via a normal "check for updates"

If you rooted using DoomLord's method, then use this.

For 2.3.6 I would flash Silver's zip for the rom. You will need CWM.

Fellow noob
So I'm fairly new to android as well, I would highly suggest taking a look this thread goes over rooting, kernals roms and going back to unroot...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427268
Then a couple of the apps that have really helped me out are Titanium Back up and Rom Manager. Makes flashing roms very easy, between easily flashing CWM and rebooting into CWM with just a click. Then TB with it's auto backup's and being able to quickly restore when you've flashed that new rom. (I paid for both of these apps, so I'm not sure what features the free versions have)
I flashed to Silvers rom to get to 2.3.6 and it's working great, was very easy to do!
Anyways, hope this helps!

Hello i want to Root my captivate so i can Network Unlock it.
I tried superoneclick and it didnt worked.
Any other way to root my phone ?
If i flash CyanogenMod 9 can i unlock the phone using the Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz on Play store ?
Usually, I'm nice, but this question has been asked way too many times. You most likely didn't search or read other posts that clearly explain how rooting is different for gingerbread. I am sure you will find out without having to look too hard.

Is that the way to root it ?

There you go. Yes, that is one way to do it. You can also flash corn kernel; there is an option to root from recovery.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Do i have to flash the stock kernel after rooting ?
Yep...if u used Autoroot kernel.
Nope...if u flash kk4 Corn Kernel. --- i recommend v7.0A if u choose Corn.

I think i bricked my phone.
In odin the software got stuck in "Initializing" and i disconected the phone.Now the phone wont turn on it just show a "phone a danger signal and a computer"
I fixed i used the USB at the back port of pc
Ultimately what I am trying to accomplish is to install SlimBean ICS on my friends Froyo Galaxy. (I am a Motorola Guy)
From my understanding you need to go to Ginger first. Easy enough, use Kies.
Next I need to install CM, this is where I am getting lost. Do I need to install 7 (GB) before I can install 9 (ICS)?
How do I install CM on this device? Totally lost because there are so many extra steps.
Lastly there is install SlimBean once CM is installed which is easy enough via CWM.
First question is, are you using a Galaxy or Galaxy S 4G? They're different.
Second, skip KIES, use a one-click. Flash once, reboot, Linda, Flash with bootloaders.
Then you can move on to the fun of ICS.
Please remove the battery from the phone and verify that the model for the phone is either
SGH-T959V
or
SGH-T959W
Those are the only phones the files on this forum are meant for! Reply with the model here so we can direct you to the right forum if your friend's phone is different than the Galaxy S 4G

This should get you on GB and rooted with a custom recovery. I believe at this point you can just flash slim bean ICS.
Always make sure you have another ROM you can flash to if the one you want doesn't work. Also make sure you have a backup

That's the one I was using but it didn't explain going beyond gb custom

After using the One Click Heimdall just get to recovery. If you have cwm 5 then you're good to go, just flash the ROM. Search our wiki on how to get to recovery.

Thanks everyone for all the help and clarification. His phone is making me really appreciate how easy flashing a ROM on my phone is even with a locked bootloader.
