Hey guys I've been searching google.com and xda forums for the last 3 hours trying to find a way to unroot my phone so I can bring it in for service. My phone's speaker broke and I get no sound so I have to bring it into the store. What would you guys suggest to do? I don't want to use Odin cause it's not recognizing my phone and I don't want to trip the counter using the .tar Any help please!
Got to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348
Follow all instructions exctly and your phone will be 100 percent stock no root
Well first thank you for your reply. Ive been trying this method but I can't get Odin to detect my phone in download mode. It detects it when the phone is booted. I've reinstalled drivers and rebooted computer nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

Did you flash cwm? If not and all you want to do is unroot that's simple..install a root file explorer and delete superuser.apk. now they can't tell you rooted the phone.

Why don't you brick it instead?

if its just a speaker, they most likely will just replace the speaker.
Make sure you backup anything you dont want to loose, they may wipe the phone ,
I got a laptop back one time, that just needed a new keyboard, they wiped the damn thing, retards. ( this was way back before i was smart enough to do all that myself lol )

Weird, my warranty replaces my phone for free if it won't even turn on. Plus, there isn't physical damage.

There is a 1 year manufacturer warranty. Against hardware defects.. excluding water damage
Hey everyone I'm currently rooted and running cm7 and everything runs amazingly....only issue now is that my USB port only charges my phone and doesn't sync data.
So my question is...what are my options? Is it possible to download the stock program on my SD card and maybe use mobile Odin or anything?
Any ideas will help....I want to re-flash more roms but feel I should have clean flashes by going back to stock.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not saying the port isn't bad...but this is a common problem in the forum...like I said I still have this problem with my laptop...so when I use Odin I have to use the wife's laptop. Exhaust all possibilities before giving up

I recently bought an extended battery for my skyrocket. I used it for a few days and one night while on the charger it apparently didn't charge. It was only at 70%. Then I noticed it would drop charge while plugged in and using it. The charge icon would stay on but it would consistently drop in percentage. So I switched back to the factory battery thinking that was the problem. Nope. The phone will charge as long as I'm not using it. I also can't get my phone to connect to the computer. Tried 3 different computers and 2 different cables (1 being the factory cable).
Another issue is that I have a custom ROM installed and if I'm going to turn this in for warranty how do I get it back to stock if I can't do it through Odin?
Thanks for the help.

I would suggest cleaning the contacts on the battery and phone and try a can of air duster to blow out the usb ports u are trying to use including the phones usb. If all else fails read the stickies in the development section to go back to stock.
P.S. im not sure if u can go back to stock without ODIN. But just read the stickies cuz i could be wrong

After a quick search last night all I found was info on reverting back to stock with Odin. I cleaned the USB port on my phone with a tooth brush. Got a lot of crap out of there but it didn't help.

I'm not sure if its possible but on my i777 I was able to use the mobile Odin app to flash the stock firmware. Possibly something a dev could come up in cwm since failing USB ports are becoming more and more common. A cwm flashable rom maybe and a separate stock kernal to flash after.

It's not clear what state your phone is in but if you can boot and have root mobile odin should work.

You can try to flash the below official ICS Stock roms via CWM, then try to reconnect with PC to flash via ODIN for complete stock.

Note: These roms are deodexed, so it is not unmodified stock.
Yes I can get to d/l mode and recovery

Do you have the necessary drivers installed on the pc? Try installing Kies on the pc. It will install the proper drivers for you.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yes i have installed keis i even downloaded the drivers straight from the Samsung website too. Everytime i connect my phone to the computer(any computer) it says usb not recognized/malfunction. I have read many threads about how to fix this but none have worked for me. Im thinking about returning this phone because its still under warranty but its rooted.

Works fine but i connect my phone to my comp for backing up files and flashing you know that kinda stuff. I wonder what could if caused it. I remember it started when I was using fb app and it suddenly just shut off and wouldnt come on. When I tried to charge it because it seem like it was dead it would keep vibrating over and over again just like boot looping. Even now if phone is off and I connect the charger it won't show the battery meter but automatically turn it self on. So I think I'll have to send it to att warranty.

Hmm...pick a free one. can't hurt. BTW it doesn't have anything to do with your virus checker does it?
Disable your virus protection. You sure you have your phone in download mode? Can your phone reach download mode?

I have read lots of post, but could not find any post related to my issue.
After flashing different ROMs and Kernels my G2x wont boot into any ROM.
I have tried "volume up and down", it wont recognize USB.
Only way I know phone is working is that it turns on and boots only into clockworkmode recovery.
Please let me know if you know any fixes for this issue.
It kinda sounds like u may of flashed the kernel. I flashed a ics kernel by mistake on a cm7 rom and it did what you described. I used a process called nvflash.

How did you do NV flash I am not able to connect to pc? Is it possible to run the zip from clockworkmod?
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2
Hey man, could you give us a little more information so we could try to figure out what is causing the issue? First off, did you originally install CWM with NvFlash?
Secondly, what was the latest setup (rom, kernel, gapps, tweak/mods, etc) that you flashed and in what order? Did you accidentally format or delete something you shouldn't have? Do you have the proper drivers installed for the phone to be recognized by your PC? Since you're able to get into CWM, try doing a full wipe and reflashing rom, kernel and gapps. Make sure sure to do a full data factory/reset, wipe both caches, format /system under mounts and storage, and try fixing permissions after flashing.
I believe I had Richie MIUI rom first with Mazout360 gb kernel then then I switched to different kernel. Phone wasn't doing well with any of those kernels so I went into recovery, wiped and flashed different rom. After which my phone didn't boot and was going straight into recovery. I wiped mount data/all of them; mount and unmount /all; used volk nulifier ; used scrub. I did all of that because I was not able to use USB / power volume up and down don't work neither. I don't know what else to do.
