[Q] Need To Unroot - Without Using USB Connection (usb port nonfunctional) - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to Unroot the Evo Shift without using a USB connection to my PC? My USB port on the phone is borked. Currently using the latest Supreme Sense.

Skyrocket lost gallery app after root

I routed my skyrocket with the one click root. During setting it up afterwards I noticed the three gallery app was missing. I reinstalled the stock Rom to unroot. (Had problems but overcame them... different topic) Tried the superuser root method with the same results and noticed the buddy widget was also missing. Reloaded stock and haven't rooted since. Anyone have any ideas why I would lose apps and how to prevent it next time I try to root? Oh I did a Nandroid backup before the second root but the MD5 was corrupted when I tried to restore from it. Thanks inn advance for any help our suggestions.

fluke, I've never heard of this. U must have done something
The first time,I thought I may have accidentally deleted it, the second time I had just finished rooting and checked for the gallery right after that and it was missing again. It was there prior to rooting.

[/COLOR]How is it possible to accidentally delete the gallery? Rooting does not delete apps.....eother u flashed a rom with gallery missing or you deleted the gallery. And cant figure out how to get it back....so we need more info???? Be honest and elaborate please...
Flashing any rom. Would give u gallery back. Unless you found one
missing the gallery.
Use an alternate... I use QuickPic (free in Market.. or should I say PlayStore)... better and more reliable than Gallery.
Really. Thanks gpna check that put now.

Haha, Iv'e been doing the same. At first I thought It disappeared, but then realized it is not by the M's anymore since it starts with P now. Lol
Try rooting with the Odin method. Its in the dev section. Not is it only the best root method IMO, but it gets you familiar with Odin. Which is essential.

I think I Odin the first time and
Superoneclick the second. Haven't really had time (or desire) to try it again.

Help needed for BRICK

I think I may have finally done it. I flashed the latest slim rom (vers 6) today, booted into the ROM and set it up. No problems. Then I flashed faux mainline kernel. I followed the instructions for the kernel install, and hit reboot as last step. The phone shut off and did not reboot. I am now unable to turn on, boot into recovery, or download mode. When I attempt to connect to the PC to try and ODIN back to stock, the phone will not connect to the PC. I have the latest Samsung drivers installed and have connected to my PC previously with no problems. I know I downloaded and installed the right version for my phone, I have flashed kernels many times before.
Am I screwed now? I have insurance on the phone, but really would like to get the phone back from the grave if at all possible. Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.
Never heard of the kernel ... Got a link to it???

Going through the history of my browser, it looks like I did a bone head and flashed a Nexus 4 kernel to my VZ GS3. Am I screwed?
Possibly ... Your kernel tells your phone what to do and how to do it ... If you can't get Odin to connect there's a big issues but I've never flashed a wrong kernel so research around a bit for more info ... You can't get into download mode or recovery mode??

Might need to either send it in for JTAG or spend the money to get the insurance replacement

Did a little research real fast and looks like there may be options .. Just keep searching and trying a few things before giving up ... Good luck

[Q] [Help]Attempting to Unroot Phone, Phone's Powercycling

Hello everyone. So today I tried to root my phone for the first time and all was fine. I could download and use apps that required root access. Then I tried to flash CM 10.1.3, and that's where things got messy. After I flashed, it was saying that unauthorized software was on my phone, and I had to go to verizon. I figured this was because my bootloader unlock didn't work. So I tried flashing a stock 4.1.2 rom, and now my phone's just powercycling. Any ideas? Yes, I am new to this, feel free to yell at me for being an idiot for forgetting some obvious thing.
I think you need to Odin back to a stock build and then repeat the entire process of rooting, unlocking, etc.
I could also be wrong, so we'll get yelled at together.

Wait for someone to confirm that Odin is the way to go. If so, this thread should help you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456000

You'e right lol
@Elerock, does powercycling = stuck at the Verizon LTE splash screen or boot animation? If so, boot into recovery (hold power, home, and volume up) then do a factory reset. Root and unlock following these directions.

OTA update for Maxx

Woke up this morning to the new ota downloading. As of this time it is on ask me later.
I know enough to know that it could not be installed with root so I started reading the xda forums for the best method. I originally rooted with moto root, then later updated to pwnmymoto. I have also installed safestrap 3.63a and used xposed framework to allow unlock with NFC. My question is if I uninstall all of these (they all have the uninstall feature) can I install the ota? Sorry if I missed this some where else, but I havent seen anyone with a similar set up comment. Any help is greatly appreciated. I forgot to mention I have read about fxz with houseofmoto but have never used adb so am a little nervous to do this if not necessary.
Thanks,
JD

You will need to go back to stock. Otherwise you'll bootloop. You can remove the update zip from cache and place on your SD so you don't accidentally take the update. Try houseofmoto for returning to stock while saving data! Sry I don't have the link.

House of moto is a utility for fxz back to stock. You won't need to set up adb for that. Just download and set the proper files and run the utility. RockMyMoto by jcase is the exploit you will need to reroot once you take the upgrade. You WILL need adb for that as of now.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was leaning towards houseofmoto but wanted to see what was best.

Factory Reset w/ Root and No Problems?

I gave my old phone to a friend and did a factory reset in settings before giving it to him w/o thinking it may cause any problems. It seems as though everything is working for him, but I can't tell if the Rom still has root. I did notice that the Rom splash animation came up and it started the set up process before I gave it to him and left. Could it be possible that the phone is running on a custom Rom after a factory reset but not have root?
That's happened to me as well. I just downloaded busy box and superuser from market and downloaded the updates. Idk why this happens. Ask banangranola, he is wise. Lol
