[Q] root access for a I9003 with I9003XXLE4 ROM

Hello,
I just want to be sure to do the right thing. To be able to use the LINK2SD app I must set the I9003 into root mode. Which is the easiest way to do so?
The ROM version is currently I9003XXLE4.
At http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351056 I did not find which of the offered version shall I take.
Basically I need to do so cause I want to swap the external sd-card (which I have inserted with 16KG) to the internal sd-card (called usb device).
I found no way way to do so without gettung first root access.
Thankx

Flash this firmware again from a rooted firmware via mobile Odin v2.45....
With the rooting options checked...

... but how do I get the i9003 smartphone in root mode WITHOUT loosing the WLAN features?

I think BCK Kernel works fine ? Not sure though..

Using BCK beta 13 on XXLE4 will leave you with a non-working WiFi module. Please help us test a fix! To do so, follow these instructions:
Flash XXLE4
Flash BCK Universal beta 13
Flash one of these zips

[Q] Disable SuperUser still use Custom rom.

I was wondering that
What if i apply a custom rom..and disable superuser from the apps??:silly::fingers-crossed:
Will it cause any problems to my device?:silly:
And make sure to check which apps require SuperUser authorization and not use those apps at all (to avoid problems if any) ???
Will this action be known as temporarily UNROOTING my device?
If yes, The SSC wont even know ans ill still be enjoying a Custom Rom, without worries of voiding warranty :laugh:

First off all flashing custom ROM will not void your warranty because when ever you want you can revert back to Stock ROM and SSC don't know that you used some custom ROM...
Hope i have answered all your questions.....

CWM Backup right?
And if my backup is also of a root that i had done earlier?
Bccause i checked about the Flash Counters..It still remains ZERO in my device.. so this is "Check" put up by samsung ramains INVALID.
Now the slolution?
Plus SSC is not a condition...
I was just asking Can we disable SuperUser and still use a Cutom rom perfectly??
and
Will that be called temporary Unrooting?

sorry i didn't get your points so please try to explain in detail......

Actually the problem is not root. The problem is anything "CUSTOM". Rooting does not increase ur counter nor does any custom ROM if flashed thru CWM. To avoid problems at the SSC, it is recommended that u take it in mint stock state. So just flash the stock ROM before taking it to SSC. Also if u really want to unroot...u cant try the attached package...flash it thru CWM. After that all apps that require root access will no longer work, u can just uninstall those apps.

Use Custom Rom and disable SuperUser.

I am using C.A.M.P Rom as i told you (and the Rom is AWESOME:good
For some reasons (past experiences with my device) i feel kind of unsafe with rooted phones and voiding my warranty till June '13 (not my query)
[MAIN QUESTION] Can i Disable SuperUser and the use the Rom perfectly??
If yes, Will this disable of SU make my phone like a Unrooted phone?
Or
Can i just Unroot my device and still use any Custom Rom??
And buddy I got the part of flashing the stock rom all over again and SSC wont know. But this is just a thought

Buddy. Since we are flashing custom roms via CWM, it will not increase the binary counters. Even u checked it and its zero. It means your warranty is still valid. So no one will deny you the warranty in Service center.
And yes u can disable the Superuser access which will cause issues with some apps which luks for super user access. Its not a proper method if u want to take the phone to service centre. Flash the stock rom via odin and take it to service centre which is safe option for u.

To revert back to stock, flash the stock ROM thru ODIN. Don't use previous CWM nandroid backups.

Ohhh..
Okay..
But then wont the Custom Rom create any problem without root access?
And i think the flash counter of our devices dont even increase even if flashed via Odin. (Mine didnt..still shows 0 counts)
Even Triangle Away doesnt support our device (I think because of this reason only)
How about disabling the SU? Isnt that good enough?

Buddy if u flash stock ROM thru ODIN, it won't increase ur counter, but if u flash any custom ROM thru ODIN, it will definitely increase ur counter. In my earlier post I've attached the unroot package. Read that post and u can safely continue using the Custom ROM albiet without access to the root apps. Hope this helps.
Thnx!

Earlier I did not know how to revert back to the Stock Rom using CWM.
So i used to flash my phone via odin (Though later our friend MJ and Vikesh did tell me how to use CWM backup/restore)
Still my counters are 0.
[EDIT] As told by Buddy Droidster, Custom Roms Via ODIN Increase the counter? And I thought the stock roms did it too
And the apps which use SU, i dont use those apps and are a bit annoying at times (To be frank )
Plus How will the SSC guys know if i am using anything CUSTOM if i unroot or disable SU? Okay agreed some functions in a custom rom will be Inaccessible? But then we have launchers and all these days? (Just a Noob Query, I'm sorry if it is getting irritating )

[Q] Stock ROM says it's custom. How to fix that?

Hello everybody!
I got a P3110 with TMH (T-Mobile Hungary) CSC code. I upgraded it to stock 4.1.1 with multi CSC via Odin, rooted with cf-auto-root, switched CSC to XEH, and now my device says it's custom ROM. Update check said it was a modified device. I tried Triangle Away, now Update check doesn't even come up with error or anything.
KIES displays it as XEH, so does it in the EFS folder except the prodcode.dat. It contains: GT-P3110TSATMH
How can I match it up the product code with the CSC? How can I fix the stock/custom paradox?
Thanks.

stock/custom paradox is not a paradox! rooted device are already customized! the root itself makes it not working with any official update method. you cannot remove that!
so you need to download the rom you want from sammobile.com and flash it via odin (note: you will lose root and nearly any other data on the phone so do a backup them, and the flash counter will incrase)
if you want to stick to TMH software chose their version from sammobile. then re-root it with cf-auto-root

Then I'll stick to XEH. Thanks!

That's not true. It's a bit more complicated than that.
If you run stock and rooted, with 'su" enabled, the tablet runs a tracker that will see root requests that happen during boot and will mark your device as "Custom". Simply installing applications (which customizes the device by adding new files) won't trigger the "Custom" flagging. Installing a nonstandard kernel probably will be detected.
If you don't modify any of the stock applications, and disable "su", the device won't detect that it's rooted. I use SuperSU and use it's capability to disable/hide "su". So far, the tablet seems satisfied that it's stock.

You are right i do not think about that because i use chainsDD SuperUser .

I use SuperSU, too, and I froze bloatware apps with Titanium. Not more modification. I thought that the problem was caused by the non-matching CSC/product code.

Posted from my Fascinate using XDA Premium

To remove Root:
This Root Remover has been tested with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" P3100 (tested on jellybean)
REQUIREMENT: A rooted Tab 2.
•After you download this file, move it the root of your external SD card( /mnt/extSdCard ). This is the micro sdcard you insert in tablet slot. Your /mnt/sdcard folder is internal memory (not recognized in CWM recovery).
•Reboot into CWM (recovery) using Quick Boot app or
•Power OFF your tablet, disconnect from computer and restart in recovery (CWM) by pushing and holding POWER & Volume DOWN/LEFT buttons at same time. When Samsung Tab 2 logo appears, you can release power button but continue holding volume button for a few more seconds. Note: If you've done this on other Samsung devices, you will notice that it takes longer before blue CWM v5.5.0.4 text appears ... just be patient.
•Once you are in recovery, use volume button (UP/DOWN/LEFT OR RIGHT) to move around and POWER button to select an option.
Select install zip from sdcard. Choose Root_Remover file you already copied to root of sdcard.
When unrooting is finished, choose reboot system now from CWM menu.
NOTE-By downloading and using this file you understand and agree that you bear all responsibility for the use and anything it may do to your tablet.
DOWNLOAD-
Root_Remover.zip (h--p://www.mediafire.com/?ty54o6lah25w41d)
Replace (--) with tt.
For Root (tested on jellybean):
Use chainfire root its d best i have it.
U can google it or find it on xda search.
Dont use the above method to remove the chainfire root as it can be easily removed from its modified superuser application but it works as any other root and is superb!
Enjoy,
Kunal
Dont forget to hit the thanks button!!

Hey amit i have edited the link in my post n its now working. Yeah dats the correct package use odin to flash it. Dont use this root remover on cf autoroot. Cf autoroot has the option to completely remove the cf root in its own menu. After u have rooted your device, use a root checker(available on play store for free) to check that you device is fully rooted. When u root or flash a custom rom or do anything fishy with ur device using odin, ur warranty gets void as there is a counter in the tab 2 which keeps a record of how many times u have flashed ur firmware wid a custom rom or rooted it or done something fishy. To get your warranty back, use the TriangleAway app (another miracle by chainfire) to reset the flash counter to zero which means u get ur warranty back. Its paid on playstore but is free on his xda page. It only works if ur device is rooted. Nd yes u can move apps to sd after rooting.
Good luck n happy flashing

unrooting problem
Kunal
As you said, I unrooted my tab.
Earlier, I was using official stock 4.1.1
Then I rooted my phone and updated it to cm10 nightly
But that cfw was not good enough (no offense)
To go back to my old stock, I restored my stock which I backedup while updating to cfw via rom manager
Now I wanted to unroot and used the app advised by you
But now when I'm tryin to update my tab using OTA by going under Software Update option in Settings, it is saying following message:
YOUR DEVICE HAS BEEN MODIFIED. SOFTWARE UPDATES ARE NOT AVAILABLE
how to fix this?

Factory reset should fix the issue.

Hey man, sorry for extremely late reply.
To fix this (Do this after unroot only) just connect your tab to kies and then it should recognize your tab and from there you can do the update and after the update you can follow the same root method to root your device. Good luck
PS-I was not able to perform the ota update because of the same problem and used kies to do the same.

all sonys bootloaders are locked to protect their DRM keys. these are security keys for their media apps like track ID and facebook inside Xperia. sony offer a bootloader unlock service but the process deletes the DRM keys. if you have a branded phone their is an extra lock on the bootloader from the network carrier to protect the simlock certificate this can not be hacked as of yet. to make your device faster root delete unneeded system apps and install the V6 SuperCharger and KickAss Kerneliser scripts by Zepplinrox i made an easy to use guid in general section search and find it. If thats to intimidating for you then install my AVD Rom which is pre supercharged with all the best options chosen
