[Q] Unrooting question...

Is there an Odin flash to unroot my Samsung Galaxy S 4g? I'm new when it comes to rooting/unrooting phones. So if there's anyone that's able to assist me, I would appreciate it, thank you for your time!

Thank you ;-)

no problem, anytime.

Tried unrooting with the Super One Click method and was unssuccessful...I checked other forums and ran across this explanation at this website http://forum.samdroid.net was able to unroot without the SuperOne click method...I didnt create this method but if anyone else benefits from this post, than I think thats great. And if I have not posted this currectly, I apologize, it was not my purpose to take credit from anyone else !

Can u help me out whit this trying to unroot also and superoneclick was unsuccessful

my same problem .. if you can let me know

Try skanob's, AFAIK its the only one that works for your hboot version.

thanks but I have question - is there temp root for ICS RUU? I dont want to unlock bootloader and loose warranty

No, there is no way to downgrade hboot 2.02.xxx without unlocking the bootloader (and losing warranty).

can you give me link to flashable superuser?

Do as suggested and READ. All the information you need is out there and people are getting more and more fed up with the same questions being posted every three days just because people are too lazy to look for themselves.

Rooting Xperia L 4.2.2

Hi community, I have flashed Android 4.2.2 Generic World FTF using Flashtool to my Xperia L C2105, now I want to root it, but I don't know, how to do it. I have found this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307983 and there is reference to thread with 4.2.2 root, but I can't go on this webpage, there is some error.
Can somebody give me some tutorial how to root XL working on Android 4.2.2, or explain me?
I have also found Motochopper method, somebody told me that it is right way to root my phone, but I'm not sure because I have read somewhere that Motochopper works only on some Motorola devices.
Maybe I will sell my phone in 3-4 months so I'll need a warranty back, so there should be a way to unroot the phone.
Sorry for my english
Thanks for help, greetings.

The methods that exist to root 4.2.2 firmware on Xperia L are considered unsafe :-/ Therefore the page was removed by xda's mods
And the motochopper method you read about was meant for android 4.1
To unroot you can always restore your device to original firmware, using pc companion, Sony Update Service or flashtool

Ok, thanks. When you say, that root on 4.2.2 is unsafe, do you mean that I won't be able to flash soft back at all? But does some method to root 4.2.2 exists?

Unsafe means those software are suspected to be malicious, more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46246819&postcount=1

Okay, thanks. Someone can close the thread, nvm, I'll wait till there will appear some safe and working way to root.
Thank you all.

You can try this method...root 4.2

Rooting using Kingoroot and vroot is risky.. It and IMEI number of your device to their server in China.. And we don't know what it does.. So be careful and don't use these 2 methods

[Q] Root sony xperia Z3

today i bought sony xperia z3 and my rooted xperia z2 with me.
i want to ask about rooting the z3 , can i use v12.1 rooting to root like z2 or shoud i wait for other version. any one try

I tried v12.1 root doesn't work

Questions belong in the questions forum. cmon man!

I'd wait for http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ to be supported.
And just so you know, all rooting is, is installing /xbin/su and /system/app/SuperUser.apk. Once you can unlock the bootloader, you should just be able to push those files to the correct spot after remounting system rw

Please post questions in the Q&A section

Not quite. In Sony devices it also means killing the RIC so that you can mount the system partition as RW. Yes, unlocking the bootloader allows for easy rooting, but a lot of Sony devices have boots that cannot be unlocked. So there are plenty of other ways to do it.
Try looking at in the Z2 or Z1 sections. There are some root methods that work on 4.4.4 but they may not work on the new Z3, But I am interested as I will be getting this device very soon....

What does that mean, "seems to be possible" ? - Working or not working ?

Did not try it myself but read somebody was successful
As some ppl in Android Development have unlocked their BL I guess it's true.

hoping for some good news :fingers-crossed:

any luck with easy root tool?

There is also an app available, maybe to root without a PC, like towelroot, framaroot and so on, but it's in some kind of asian language. Really don't know what it does. Can't find any documentation.

[Q] Root help needed. sch i545 kit kat 4.4.2

I bought a verizon galaxy s4 a few weeks ago and foolishly updated it. I now want to root it and i havent rooted anything in months but i wasnt to worried until i cant seem to find if you can root with version VRUFNK1. I found 1 thread where someone said they bricked there phone trying on this version. If it possible please let me know and what method to use.

you can actually root it safely only if you downgrade back to the VRUFNC5 bootloader , the use the vroot method.

I done some research and am very lost as to what to do. there are no clear instuructions on how to downgrade from vrufnk1 to vrufnc5 at all that I can find. can someone elaborate on this and give me a little more detailed instuctions and possibly links to the files ill need or websites where to find them. And is it possible to even downgrade without first being rooted? Sorry its been years since i have done this and it was way simpler on the kindle fire.

I have a buddy thats in the same boat, he's got a newer s4 and wants to rom it for his first time.

I am also in this predicament. I had a galaxy nexus that I would flash different roms to every week but I upgraded via Verizon to the S4 a few months ago -- bloatware is awful and is taking up over 7GB of my 16... Would love to get a jump on rooting, but I can't find anything on this build aside from this thread and another few posts that were also unanswered. Any help or direction would be great -- do y'all think there will have to be another way to root this build, or can downgrading be okay?

Same boat
I too am in the same boat, for some reason with i545vrufnk1, I can't root so want to downgrade the firmware to a firmware that allows me to root, tried all the various methods to root but for some reason I can't, think it might be the firmware or the knox software package.

I believe you could root with Towelroot.

towel root won't work
I tried it with the latest official update and it won't work. I'm looking to root as well.

[How-To] Root I545VRUFNK1 4.4.2 (12-1-2014)
Look for this thread on xda search tab. It worked for me. Just follow closely.

I followed the downgrade instructions and got root back. Is it Verizon that makes it a pain in the ass? I don't know what I would do without this place and helpful people
