Silver03wrx: any idea if we can safely unroot with SuperOneClick 2.2 on 2.3.6 if we rooted with it on 2.3.5?

I doubt it works. It wont root 2.3.6 so i dont see why it would unroot. If you want to unroot probobly have to odin the stock 2.3.5 tar and take the ota update to unroot
Noob clarification re "internal sd" from Melvins Root guide
When he says " your internal SD",that means NOT the SD card?.. right? Sorry for the request for clarification!
There is an internal 16gb sd card that is not removeable. There is also and external sd slot that is r emoveable

Thanks Silver, perhaps I was not being complete in my question? I know that there are both, but my question was specifically related to rooting. In his post " *Put the Superuser .zip file on your internal SD" from these instructions" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311194".
I think it means that you put the. Zip file on the phones internal memory & NOT the removable SD card?
Yes you are correct sir
Thanks SILVER.... it just seemed a little ambiguous, and for a noob, that could be dangerous. ...you were "thanked" .
Uhm, on Melvin's post of Oct 19th...he says to put the Superuser zip on the INTERNAL SD....BUT on Copperhed's post of Nov 10th....he says to put the Superuser file on the EXTERNAL SD? I would imagine that there is something important about where it is located on the phone?
I was pretty sure that I was not losing my mind, I just had to find where I saw the discrepancy

The GS2 doesn't support booting recoveries via fastboot, so the only way to root (short of using a rooting tool) is to install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM via Odin, and then root the system from within the recovery. You can restore the stock recovery if you want, but I don't know of any other clean methods to root.
Also, you are aware that there is an official (Samsung provided) Jelly Bean ROM for the GS2, right? While that doesn't get you "up to date", it at least gets you on a 4.x stream, which will dramatically improve app support on the Play Store.

There may be a way to install a pre-rooted image from Odin, but most folks do it from a recovery. Fortunately, if you can figure out how to just install the recovery, it will be able to root whatever you have installed, and is a heck of a lot safer than messing with the OS image. Unfortunately, how that happens depends on the recovery, but in most cases it will over you the option to fix the su binary when you reboot.
I won't repeat the steps here, as there are several guides for installing recoveries via ODIN. I will point you to the TWRP repository, however -> https://dl.twrp.me/skyrocket/
So let me get this straight, if I flash a normal stock Rom from a recovery it will automatically root it? What is a recovery? Is that the same thing as download mode? I'll try to find a thread, but of course if u could post a the ad link I would appreciate it.
Hi how to upgrade 2.3.6 to latest version andriod samsung galaxy s2 at&t i727 can u please give me instructions
This is my first attempt at rooting. The device is a Nexus S (original edition), I just wanted the warranty to expire before I dabbled in this.
So, which method is the best/most current? I've found a lot of tutorials, but I haven't been keeping up to know what the best one is right now.
I'm also still on Gingerbread. Do I need to update to ICS/JB before I root? I plan on running a custom ROM (CM10) on the phone so I'm guessing I don't need to worry about what version I have when I root?

• Unlock bootloader
• Flash clockwork recovery
• Flash any Rom that you want.
• Flash gapps, enjoy.
That's just a crude way of saying it but you get the idea.

You don't need to update to JB to root but in my opinion you need to update to have a better battery life and to have all new features of JB (butter etc) anyway if you want to use CM10 consider that a lot of custom rom already have root by default.
Consider that you don't need to root to flash a rom, you need root to use root app when you already are in android, so if your purpose is just to flash a new rom, follow the seibott indications without think on how to root.
To flash a rom usually you need just to unlock bootloader and flash a costom recovery, anyway you can find a guide in every rom threads.
Anyway if you want a tool that help you to install driver, flash a partition, root, or just use a temporary custom recovery whitout flash if (for example with this toolkit you can unlock your bootloader, restart your phone in temporary cwm or twrp, flash superuser/supersu to root and come back to your custom recovery rooted and without other modifications) you can read these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984858
Consider that this is not a "one click" tool, its a toolkit with a lot of options and features (driver installation tutorial, backup, back to stock, flash a singular partition etc..).
Before learn to use ADB/fastboot commands I started with this toolkit.
Since this your first time rooting i would suggest you use one click root tools..

You'll need to ask a better question. What are you trying to do?
Rooting to get superuser access?
Wanting to install a custom ROM?
Installing a rooted custom ROM is pretty simple - grab the ROM, install ODIN, and flash it.
you have to flash cwm recovery using odin
then install the root file from recovery
stock recovery will not work

I wouldn't say that there are lots of ways wherein you can root your tab. as almost all or all uses ODIN (as ODIN is for Samsung) and the steps are quite a like.
i'm glad that chainfire's CF-AUTO-ROOT worked on your tab. if ever you wish to install a custom rom, you first need to install a custom recovery on your tab. in my case, I installed CWM.

But my brother told that this will make my device very slow and bad.. plus the warranty will be gone and so it will be of no use of unroot as

on the contrary it will speed up your tab. example, if you install CM on your tab. CM is more updated than stock android and CM is also more secure as developers of CM(cyanomodgen) are focused on developing roms that are fast in performance and good in security and another way of speeding up your tab's performance is thru installing apps that makes you control clockspeed, you can overclock and underclock(possible if rooted). plus, rooting can extend your battery life by hours - this is made possible by root apps for battery like greenify, it lets you hibernate all apps that are running in the background thus they wont consume processor time and ram.
about warranty, if ever you flash a custom rom in your tab and want to get back to warranty you just have to flash stock firmware in your tab and install chainfire's triangle away so that you can reset you binary counter to 0 again. rooting is completely reversible.
by the way before I got my tab rooted, I usually charge it everyday but now my battery lasts for 2 days try it for yourself.
PLEASE CLICK "THANKS" IF I HELPED YOU.
Here are your answers:
1. ROOT is not dangerous to your tab. But you will not receive the Samsung Official Firmware via OTA.
You have to download the zip file of the official firmware and then install/flash via ODIN to get your tab updated.
2. Using custom ROM, you will VOID your device.
3. It is highly recommended to install a custom recovery like CMW on your tab before flashing any custom ROM.
4. For battery life it is recommended to use light custom ROM.
5. If you want to use custom ROM then I recommend instal/flash the stable version of ROM because they don't contain bugs or errors.

Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie here, but I've read the guidelines, don't hate
I got an international version SGS4 (i9505) and it got instantly rooted the day I purchased it.
The first rom I flashed was a i9505 Google Edition Rom... Everything worked fine but I didn't like it so much.
So I cleaned everything and I installed Foxhound (2.0)... and the problems started: maybe it's just because the two ROMs use different kernels, but my device started reboot randomly!
So I flashed a kernel cleaner (the Kernel Cleaning_Script by jivy26), I cleaned the cache and all the data... Then I installed the latest stable version of CyanogenMod (with Android 4.2.2)
Nothing.
My SGS4 continously reboots and sometimes it's difficult to restart it. I'm so sad, I just bought this phone and it works so bad.
Maybe I should install a Stock Rom and unroot my device?
Any advices/cleaning methods to stop these random crashes?
Please respond
Dem
I would flash full stock via odin and use it for few days.

Try a factory wipe first, if the reboots keep happening, I would do a fresh, clean flash of the stock tar. What I usually do is I format data through TWRP, it will say I lost root and if I want to retain it, I answer no. I reboot into download mode and flash stock tar through Odin. Then I root with CF-Auto-Root, and finally flash a custom recovery.

Thank you so much... then I decided to install an Official test leaked firmware 4.3 (I9505XXUEMJ3) via Odin.
Everything works fine, but (although the system's more responsive and stable) I had another random reboot God why?
Maybe it's just a problem with kernel... I installed 3-4 Roms, and maybe my phone is not clean... but I flashed via Odin, I erased everything (cache, format/data/factory). It's so strange...
I feel like I have to throw away my phone... please help!
EDIT: my phone crashed and it is bootlooping now.
My phone is now officially bricked. After I flashed the latest official Samsung Rom my phone started bootlooping and crashing at the Samsung logo. The only thing I can do now is to use the recovery, but even if I format/data factory nothing changed.
Any possible solutions?
My patience is collapsing with this phone T_T
So let me get this straight...you had an instability issue (reboots) and after all the help from the guys here suggesting to flash a stable stock rom, you decided to go ahead and flash a leaked firmware?
Find the latest OFFICIAL STOCK 4.2.2 rom and try again. Don't even root, just check with a stable rom so you can see if your issue is hardware related.
Try downloading and flashing one of the sammobile firmwares.

Why on earth are trying something you don't know about. If you don't follow the guides here on xda it will not work. You have to install custom Recovery's in order to clean and erase your whole phone. If you don't it will keep on DIRTY FLASHING and acting up or rebooting or what ever. Stock recovery is basically useless for what Your trying to do.

Which stock 4.2.2 rom did you try?
When you installed 4.3 stock rom, you probably also installed the new knox bootloader, so in order to go back to 4.2.2 you must install a stock rom like XXUDMH8 or XXUDMI1 that have the new bootloader.
Download one of them from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9505&pcode=0

Yeah that's basically it. After you have custom Recovery installed do a complete wipe of everything twice just to make sure. Then go ahead and install stock with Odin and your random boots should be gone.

Keep in mind that with so many flashes, if you already have the new bootloader, you may have triggered the Knox efuse and voided your warranty.
You can check that in download mode, if knox warranty is 0x0 you are fine. If it is 0x1 you have triggered it.

Easiest way... is to use Odin with the proper CWM image file made for that particular phone.
There are many guides for this in these forums.
Get Odin, Install Odin (program for your PC)
Get CWM image file usable in Odin
Put phone into Debug over USB Mode.
Put phone into Download mode plugged into Odin
Flash CWM recovery from Odin to Phone.
Now phone would not be rooted yet.
To root phone, install a rooted Rom using CWM, or flash the/a Super User file using CWM, then your stock ROM will be rooted.
This is just a general list of what is entailed to setup a 3rd Party Recover, and Root device.. as said there are many guides on these forums that will be more detailed.. just use the search.
Hope this helps you find your way.
I am affraid not.

This is just a general list of what is entailed to setup a 3rd Party Recover, and Root device.. as said there are many guides on these forums that will be more detailed.. just use the search.
Hope this helps you find your way.

No root is not required for Odin, this is basically how I started to eventually root my phone.
I used Odin to install custom recovery on non-rooted phone.
Then using the custom recovery, installed superuser app to provide root access.
This is the YouTube video that help me along my way: http://youtu.be/6S5Lw7uxdtU
I'm sure you're running a different phone, but this may lead you to find instructions for using Odin, getting into Download Mode, and installing a custom recovery on your phone.
I did alot of reading, research, and forum browsing before feeling comfortable enough to do this... but once done, it gets easy.
