I'm here with a rooted Skyrocket (AT&T) on G-Bread 2.3.5 and need to unroot.
I originally rooted while I was on 2.3.4, but about a month and half ago the firmware automatically updated to 2.3.5.
I used DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su method.
My end-game is to get back to complete stock Skyrocket.
Grazie
1) why would u want to...?
2) flash stock rom via odin.
3) learn to use the search button.
4) have a good day.

Really? I am actually better off flashing stock? From the point I'm at now, can I flash the leaked 4.0.3 ICS?

Yes
Yes
I would suggest reading about the leak before you flash it. Flashing stock will trip your flash counter, flashing ICS will not.

Is this the same KJ6 as leak used in Development section? So WiFi stays not on par as on KD1?
I hope not. At least they are releasing something official. Maybe in 89 days we can get source.

I guess before running official update with kies you have to disable/uninstall lagfix at minimum... This will convert file system back to rfs.
I went ahead and let mini kies do its thing.... yes, I odined the kj1 kernel right on top for the voodoo and it works.
sorry for the dumb question, but after upgrading to gb will super one click work to root, and can we just use odin to flash one of the existing custom gb roms without needing to root. im assuming this had the correct gb bootloaders we need. thanks for the help.

Official kies will take care about bootloader... regarding super one click - newest version has claims to be able to root Samsung gb.
or you can apply pre-rooted kernel as champ1919 did.

After following suggestion in GPS thread it works pretty good. I did not tested that much yet, but so far I can tell that it locks on 7+ satellites quicker than is KD1.
Firstly, I would like to apologize if this information is elsewhere but I just wanted to get confirmation for this all in one place.
1) If I upgrade to the leaked ICS ROM will I retain root privileges.
2) If I do not retain root privileges can I re root my phone (I had this issue with the HTC aria upgrade to froyo because of the locked bootloader)
3) Is this ROM stable (or at least relatively so)
1) yes
2) doesn't apply becuz of 1
3) yes, i recommend superlite 5.1 or team perfection.
Correction: if you upgrade through Odin, you lose everything on your internal sdcard AND ROOT.

If you use the Odin leak (not very stable) use super one click or Odin cwm then flash superuser to get root.
Or do the easy way and flash one of the custom rooms that all are already rooted for you and have fixes.

correction correction. As long as he flashes one of the roms i suggested, I highly recommend superlite, he won't lose either. Plus the oneclick is unstable and buggy

So the leaked official one is not very stable correct? If I were to flash one of the custom ones would it have touchwiz and all the other official stuff

u want all the touchwiz stuff? Use superlite by mhx or stock revamped by team perfection. Im not a fan of touchwiz, and if: aren't either any other ics rom will do, in which case i recommend ics - the real thing by seanscreamz.
This entire thread could of been avoided, by just reading the Odin ics and root thread in the rom section. Close this thread

I assumed you were rooted. Yes you need to root to flash. Go to Nexus S general and sticky for root guides. Easy stuff once you read up and have a go.

I went back to GB, 2.3.6, used this as a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785672
You also have to install FOTAkill.apk before the phone connects to the network, to prevent the phone from downloading and nag you to install ICS and JB.
The end result of going back to GB, is a fast, no frills phone with very good battery life.

I don't see why you have to downgrade it back to 4.0 since jellybean is better in every way.

Personally I tried and didn't work
I be prefer to installed cwm recovery and take ICS ROM from development is running perfect. That what I have done.
Hi guys. I need the 4.1.1 stock that I can flash on my phone so I can see if my UI lag is just a problem with 4.1.2. And also I need to know how I can do this. I have a nandroid but I don't know if my custom recovery or bootloader works with it.

Per your nandroid question, you aren't making sense. You can't do a nandroid if you don't have a custom recovery. The status of your bootloader is moot, it works fine either way since its stock, rooted firmware. Your bootloader status matters when you want to flash custom kernels or roms.
Were you looking for the bloated stock tar for Odin which removes root? Both VRBLK3 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 tars can be found in the guide by Open1your1eyes0 thread which is in the dev section. Search and you'll see it.
If you want the VRBLK3 4.1.1 rooted flashable zip for CWM/TWRP then do a search for this in the dev section cuz its fairly old. Flash it in recovery like you would any rom.

Yeah I didn't really word that to well. I needed the 4.1.1 update because I wanted to update to 4.1.2 through Keis because it is supposed to fix lag problems with S3's that came with 4.1.2 stock. I was worried that if I were to do this, it might not be compatible with my recovery. Sorry for the confusion.

Ahh ok, well I answered you in the General sticky as well. Odin flash VRBLK3 4.1.1 or VRBMB1 4.1.2 then you can take OTAs. Any time you flash a stock tar, this removes every trace of custom software except your flash counter in different download mode.
