The simplest way is by installing (and using) Mobile Odin pro, that you can purchase on Play Store for 4.75 Euros
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5tb2JpbGVvZGluLnBybyJd
With the "Everroot" method provided by that app you can make rooted any official rom without the flash counter being incremented.
I did that last saturday and everyting went on as a charm.

Dude can you please explain the above method step by step after installing ODIN Pro
I am new to that.
Thanks in advance
Unfortunately Mobile Odin Pro requires the device to be rooted beforehand. If you have already upgraded your firmware and lost root it is now too late to use the Mobile Odin method.
You'll have to find another way. I suppose you could flash back to the ICS stock ROM, root that, then install Mobile Odin Pro and install the JB firmware using that.
I don't know if the ICS root tools work on JB (I used the Mobile Odin method described above so I didn't need to find out).
As with any other device... If you root and then accept an ota, you are more than likely going to loose root. I'm sure there will be a way to re root straight from the jb ota soon. But other than that, you're gonna have to flash a stock rooted ROM if you expect to keep root access.
After upgrade my P3110 I also lost my root. Old method was gone. I use CF-Root and it worked. Steps are simple:
1. download CF-Root from http://download.chainfire.eu/239/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root
2. Extract the zip file
3. Put your tablet in download mode (easy mode: press volume up and so power button) after enter the download mode and plug the usb cable
4.Using ODIN 1.85 select only PDA and leave all the rest alone, so point do the extracted file
Root is back. Maybe you have to install BusyBox (Google Play).
That´s all.
Good for you!
Thanks for confirming it works (I suspected it might). Now, buy Mobile Odin Pro and you need never worry about losing root again.

Thanx for your help...but doeßn´t work..=/
If I connect the tab (in download mode) my PC cannot connect to the tab...but if the tab is on it´s no problem...
so what can I do? have to do something special in the downlad mode?
and I´ve got another question...I detected that since I´ve got the update to jelly bean...i can´t charge the tab via usb...but I want to use the tab in my car...is there a possibility to charge it anyway via usb?

You, Sir, are a genius. Thank you! :good:
I've had my Galaxy Tab 2.0 7 for about 5 months now, and have rooted it, installed Modded ROMs, etc. Really enjoyed it.
However, yesterday, I decided to clean up my 32 gig external memory chip, and hooked up the USB cable to the computer as in the past.
Whoops! PC will now not recognize the tablet in USB mode. Nothing changed from the day before, both PC and tablet had worked together then.
Now, I get this message in the Device manager of the PC "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)".
I tried the normal things, reinstalling drivers, using different USB ports, etc. Nothing worked. So, I'm assuming that I had a hardware failure
in the tablet or the USB cord that came with it.
I'd like to know if there is anyway to "Root" my tablet by Using wireless? That still works, and I can move stuff off and onto the tablet. But I
would still like to have the obvious advantages of it being rooted.
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give.
OK, first off, if you've already rooted it and installed custom ROM's, why would you need to root it again? you talk of reinstalling drivers but have you rebooted BOTH the computer and the tablet since this problem occurred and you redid the drivers? Why are you trying to connect to the computer to erase files on the tablet, you do know there is a file manager in android that you can use to delete files? If you don't mind buying the pro version there is an app called "wifi file transfer" that connects to your PC via a web browser and you can copy files off and on (never done onto myself) your tablet with over wifi, I use it when I'm at work and don't have my cords with me but need to moves pictures from an android device to my laptop.

Need to root it again, because somehow, the root was removed. Still works just fine, have busybox and clockwork recovery, but it is not rooted. Don't ask me why. And, yes, I have rebooted both units, probably 4 or 5 times - reinstalled drivers several times. I normally use wireless to remove files, because it is faster, and easier to find the files I want. I have WiFi Transfer Pro, but that doesn't help the "root" situation. I don't have any problems moving files onto and off of the tablet, just can't root without USB connectivity.
No Answers, I guess. What this boils down to:
Is there anyway to root this device without using USB connectivity?

Here is a tutorial for rooting with cwm, I'm not sure how well it works though.
http://www.cursed4eva.com/root-galaxy-tab-2/
I guess just download the cwm root file and flash it.

If you have clockwork mod working then all you need to do is flash the same ROM you are running, you should then be up and running with a fully functional rooted ROM if I'm not mistaken

That is for flashing cwm, which you said you all ready have. You just skip to step 11 since you have cwm. There is a cwm flash able root.zip on the page.

wich rom are you using right now?? beacuse if by loosing root you just mean that you do not have anymore the superuser app that does not mean that you losto root!!! for example on my PAC-ROM i have root but no superuser app because superuser is integrated in the setting menu!!!
and so i think that now it is the same for most CM based ROM.
But if you easly want to check it just install from play store superSU from chainfire! it will check root on the first opening!!

I am using the "PSN_Stock_P3100XXDMB1_4.1.2" ROM. And I indeed lose "Root", but still had SU and busybox. How it happened, I'm not quite sure. I followed bluecarbon's advice, and flashed a cwm flash able root.zip. That did it very nicely. I now have root and am a very happy camper.
Thanks to everyone, especially bluecarbon.
No problem, now i know it works. I always do the opposite. I root then flash cwm, so...Now I know.

Use mobile Ódin
Good Evening,
AT&T LG G2 rooted, TWRP. Have installed a few different roms but mostly used PA. All of a sudden the phone started experiencing issues with cell Data. So I did a clean install of PA and then had issues with BT, did another clean install and had issues with Wifi.
So I decided ok maybe its time to go back to stock. Hook it up to a win7 computer... Device manager doesn't see it at all (doesn't show up AT ALL). Says charging and that is it, does not recognize that it is hooked up to a computer. Have tried several different computers now and several different USB cables. The only way I could try other roms was downloading via wifi. Tried a stock rom and still experiencing issues.
I think there is something wrong with the phone so I want to get it warrantied, but without hooking it up to a computer I can not figure out any way to remove the custom recovery or revert it to stock.No matter what I do no computer will even recognize the phone is connected, let alone trying to install drivers. Device manager just straight up does not see it.
Any help or suggestions is GREATLY appreciated. Any way to remove recovery/root without a PC connection?
UPDATE: Here was my solution
Took some work but I figured out a way to do it in case anyone else ever runs in to this:
(make sure you are stock rom or on a stock rooted rom before proceeding)
First download the stock recovery.img on the device.
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime...10B_Partitions
Then download/open Terminal Emulator and type:
su
Then
cd /sdcard/downloads
Then
dd if=/sdcard/downloads/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
That replaces TWRP/CWM with the stock recovery.
Then open supersu, go to settings, towards the bottom is full unroot.
Yay no more custom recovery or root on stock rom.
If you are planning on getting warranty you need to use download mode and the back to stock guide also that is the best way to flash to stock and get rid of problems

Agreed, problem is the computer will not see the phone, so I can't use the program to flash it back to stock.
It's not just a driver or com issue, the computer does not see it AT ALL. Device manager doesn't see a new device when I plug it in (in OS, in Download mode, nothing).

Different usb ports, different computers, different cables (stock one included). No luck. Phone says download mode then goes to "firmware update" and says at the bottom B53 then "ROOTED" in red letters. Nothing appears in device manager.
In android regarless of rom if I plug it in it doesn't act like I plugged it in to a computer, just charging. Again nothing in device manager regardless of USB debugging or not.
currently have twrp 2.6.3.3, running D80210b 4.2.2, with baseband M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190034
What I really need to know is if there is any way to restore stock recovery and remove root without using that method (ie using Terminal Commands or flashing a package, since I can download via wifi).
I am pretty sure this phone has a messed up USB port, but I don't really want to send it in with it rooted/twrp on it .

Did you try restore & reset functionality on the phone? I had somewhat similar issue with the plug & pop feature (although my laptop recognized the phone under Devices & Printer but it didn't show it as a separate drive) when I flashed CM11 but then I did a full factory reset, everything goes back to normal. Also you might try uninstall LG driver and reinstall it. Hope this help.

Unfortunately it is not a driver issue, it doesn't show up in device manager at all, on several machines.
I have tried multiple different roms, factory rests, even tried ADB sideloading, no luck.
i remember there's this app called Auto Rec that has an option to unroot the device or something like that.
Took some work but I figured out a way to do it in case anyone else ever runs in to this:
First download the stock recovery.img on the device.
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/VS980/Stock_Firmware/10B_Partitions

Then

That replaces TWRP/CWM with the stock recovery.
Then open supersu, go to settings, towards the bottom is full unroot.
Yay no more custom recovery or root on stock rom. (this was after flashing a rooted stock rom by downloading it on the device itself since I had no USB).

It worked perfectly and I got the phone exchanged without any hassle, but if your USB is working there are plenty of better ways to return to stock. This was an option I had to use because of USB not functioning. I mean this would allow you to unroot without wiping/restoring but if your going to send the phone in anyway you might as well wipe it as well.

I have a question if you can answer to me.
I restored the official rom from TWRP and did all the process you wrote. Is there any way to check if now I have the stock recovery?
And to see if I am now ready to send my phone to LG?
P.S. "I will hit the thanks button tomorrow because I have reached the limit of 8 thanks per day "

Just reboot to recovery, you should get the stock LG recovery instead of TWRP. If you unrooted as well, you are good go. Glad I could help! No worries on the thanks .

So I have to congratulate and thank once more this man @crawlgsx for this great thread.
It worked on my D802 (international model) and got it repaired by the official service center of LG in Greece.
Great work, with no need of PC and difficult processes.
Noob question, but will this allow users to take OTA updates? Running stock rooted right now and really don't want revert to stock to get latest ota, but this seems pretty seamless. Thanks.

I believe that in order to take OTAs you must be on stock rom and stock recovery. Be rooted will not be a problem if you have these stock but when OTA installed you will lose root access.
If I am wrong, correct me someone.
Hi
Sorry to bump this thread but I need to unroot my AT&T G2 800 so get the warranty.. I had taken the stock backup using twrp.
Can I restore the restore it using twrp ? and do i need to install Terminal emulator on my restored stock rom and then do the commands ?
Are there any chances of bricking the phone ?
I work at a store that sells TVs and electronics, and we had a Galaxy Note 10.1 (the 2012 edition) hooked up to a TV acting as a controller. It was recently replaced with a Tab 4, but they left the Note behind. I tried messing around with it and trying to get it back to factory settings, but it's not working. The Wi-Fi doesn't stay on, and there's no actual Settings app (I had to go through the prompt that shows up by removing the S Pen).
What I want to know is: can the device be reset at all? I haven't found anything indicating that it's a store-only model. If I can't get it to work, it'll probably have to be tossed.
See if you can find what exact model it is, see if it'll go in download mode and flash it's stock ROM via odin.
It's a GT-N8013ZWYXAR. It will go into download mode, but I'm not sure whether flashing the stock ROM works, as it just goes back to how it was. Do I need to root it first?

Yes root is required. Can it download from the internet? If so, download towelroot and use that. Then get the stock firmware from sammobile.com and flash via ODIN.
