[Q] hide the fact i rooted my phone from Samsung repair center

Hi!
I have a GT-B5512 Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos and i just flashed it with Odin and now want to send it in to Samsung. Will they be able to tell i have rooted my phone before? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure they'll see it if you send it in rooted - just un-root it for now and redo it when it comes back

? I thought the root is gone when I just flashed with Odin a new Rom. Aint that right?

U r right when u flash through odin ur root will go..but the custom bin counter will show 1 so make it 0 by using galaxy tool box app..otherwise ur warranty will not b there..

God damn it. I just did the entire process and yes it shows 0 on custom binary count now. But I didnt check if it showed 1 before clearing. So it wasnt that much fun. But probably it was 1 before, right?
Anyway. Thank you VERY MUCH. I wouldnt want to loose the chance for a brand new phone because of a stupid number saved somewhere deep in the jungle of my phone memory.
What I liked very much that i had to root my phone again in order to be able to disguise the fact it is rooted. Its like committing a crime to conceal a crime. Very criminal!
Anyway. What do I do now? Do I have to flash through Odin again to get rid of the root? Because it is still rooted now, right?

u just flash the unroot.zip using following link it works for b5512..no need to flash through odin if u flash through odin then ur custom bin counter will change again.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25140479

OMG that message I got 30 minutes too late. I just flashed with Odin again. But I thought flashing a original Samsung stock Rom is perfectly legal. Isnt it? Also they can figure out easily that I flashed a ROM because the phone is from Greece and came with a Greek keyboard and a greek ROM. I had to flash a European ROM in order to be able to write in normal letters on the keyboard. I dont even have the original ROM any more and its not on the Internet either. So...
Don't you think its fine if I just send it in like it is now? Unrooted with a original Samsung stock ROM?
thanks! i hit the thanks button as well

thanks but not on the list. I think the name of the greek ROM ends with XXKL8. I will call in at Samsung as soon as its business hours and ask them again about it. But I know a Polish guy who asked Polish Samsung about the same thing and he got the answer that flashing a original Samsung ROM does NOT void the warranty.

just do the unrooting process.above...then there you go ...your phone is not rooted now..

Yes you can i think that you can just copy files and move it from internal memory to external SD card you just have to find the game files. Or i think you can use program like App2SD

You can revert it back to stock state:

Can you please tell me which ROM should I flash with? I have Odin installed on my laptop.
Which ROM is the best out there for my phone ? And also from where can I get stock ROM.

i'll take it as, "which is the best custom rom out there for my phone"
well, it depends, somebody don't need/like their vibration, they would choose CM10.1, which has no vibration and NFC. Both are not working for now. (for some baseband, calling and mobile network don't work)
if you need the vibration and NFC deadly, but you still want your "galaxy nexus-like" user-interface, then Babba ROM would be your choice, but the difference between babba rom and stock rom isn't too big, just aosp launcher and modded status bar, android 4.2 gallery and android 4.2 camera. others are just stock (no offence here, op)
PAC-man isn't ready yet, RIL isnt workin which is a great problem
pandorium needs the stock ROM of XXAMD1 (or something else, can't remember), you need this XXAMD1 (or another one), then install cwm, then flash, if you don't flash the required stock rom first, you would face issues. it's a nice rom but its too complicated and time consuming for me to go back to stock and get cwm again and flash this rom.
so: cm10.1 or Babba rom would be great
for stock rom download:
go to sammobile.com and search for your phone and your corresponding country's firmware.
Edit: just in case you don't know, cause you seem to be new to rooting and flashing.. custom rom can only be flashed with clockworkmod recovery, stock rom can only flashed with odin! (unless otherwise specified)
click the thanks button if i helped :good: :good:

Thank you for the detailed reply.
You guessed it right i'm absolutely new to Andriod. I was an Apple boy before and androids are totally other part of world if know what I mean. As I have the NON P version NFC is not my thing. And I read CM 10.1 is for the P version only.
I'm attaching my phone details.
Check the baseband, firmware etc. What would you suggest now?
Also keep in mind I need to root just for the sake of transferring apps to sd card.
After root will I be able to update my phone if Samsung releases a new update like android 4.2.2 ?
And yes I did thank you !

mobile odin is not yet supported for 9500, but you can simply flash either modem or any other files via flashify on both 9500/9505

hmm
EDIT.. yeah I think I have that wrong, apologies OP..

Hello yes mobile odin pro will work but it is easier to flash through recovery on the i9500 follow link to modems currently i9500 is the only version that can flash modems in recovery

Do note that if your phone has the nasty habit of sometimes not booting up when charger is plugged in, it will fail and you'll have to flash a new stock firmware with odin.
This happened to me yesterday.. Very nasty.. Recovery wouldn't boot neither except for download mode.

everroot ?
while I'm here, was wondering if everroot works with all the things Samsung has done to make rooting more problematic.. it's gonna be a while before I flash a stock fw to find out for myself and I don't have a laptop to use on a regular basis..

[Q] Changing baseband version of stock ROM

HI GUYs, it's me again.
Now we know we have Germany android 4.2.2 official
but the baseband version isn't our own country's
but i still wanna flash it to my phone without losing warranty
so..
is it possible if any developers change the baseband version of this stock ROM, without rooting or cwm and without further modification? like, only change the baseband version of the ROM and then make it look like my own country's ROM (the samsung guy only checks your root state and baseband version if i'm right) so if any awesome developer would make it possible, then it's beneficial to everyone who wanna flash the ROM, but don't wanna lose warranty)
so...
is it able to:
1) Change the baseband version without bricking or further modifying?
thanks

I think its possible but its hard stuff cause u have to change the radio.
And if u not 100% sure what u doing u will brick ur phone.

I don't know if it is a problem to flash a baseband from a 4.1.2 rom to 4.2.2??
But I think you lost your warrenty because it is a modification. Normaly there is no 4.2.2 rom for your country Samsung know your provider knows, so when you have a problem with the device an send it to repair, people know that there isnt't a 4.2.2 rom available but you have - maybe they don't accept the warrenty. So wait for 4.2.2 or have fun!

I w8 CyanoGenmod... now is in beta (If u have time try it)... U can flash 4.2.2 Deoxed is very cool FAST! (Flash is easy with odion no risk )

Flashing anything gives goes up and you have that bad fear that slows your heartbeat that it will fail or screw up. My phone memory is getting full and needs air to breath. Im baldly waiting for 4.2.2 to come for the None NFC version.

i337M Doesnot need to flash a 4.3 modem to flash Custom ROM

I337M Users just need to restore to stock 4.2.2 and get the OTA.. and then install whatever rom you like...GE 13 ETC. Also need to flash a custom kernel...
that will solve all the signal drops and lost connection.!..
it seems difficult to just flash the 4.3 modem.bin file in the Forum.. at least I couldnt get it to work,
but this way! yes,,use whatever rom you like!:good::good::good::good::good:

I think if you are on 4.3 there's no way to go back to 4.2 2...As of today

Skip non_hlos. It is directly tied to new bootloader and sound. Just like in international sgs4.
It won't help wifi, but might and in my case, lose sound. Flashing just old non_hlos does not help. You have to go back to 4.2.2 + old non_hlos to get the sound back.
In my case, my nandroid.
