how to unroot and go back to stock w/o loosing data? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

How do I unroot and go back to stock firmware without loosing data?
Thanks,

you don't. All you can do is use Helium https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup&hl=en . That is one way of moving data back from unrooting the phone.

You answered your own question . Flash with Odin, got CSC make sure use regular CSC not CSC home which will erase user data.

Right. That's what i thought. Where can I get the latest firmware that has it split up like that?

This where I got it from. The user muniz_ri posted it maybe 2 or 3 posts down

Isnt there a feature within SuperUser that allows to unroot and return to normal status? I used this feature after rooting and uninstalling several programs / apps and then selecting this option, restarting with no root.

It would unroot but I think you would still have the engineering boot and would give the lag issues. The phone would be difficult to use.
By flashing back to stock it would be not rooted and smooth
I been rooted and running this phone a couple week with no problems.

So I flashed without using either CSC file. Just left it blank and it running great just FYI

Running great meaning you didn't lose any data?
Also would Knox trip if we were to unroot with deleted stock apps? Or would the ODIN just put them back?

I restored without flashing any of the csc files and can confirm no data was loss. However I don't have the LTE icon anymore but 4G+...there's a few subtle differences I've noticed as well too that wasn't like that before so I'm not sure what happened. But it's working lag free and cool again.
Checking for software updates results in a cannot process error as well

Actually I just realized that samsung pay is still not on my phone after ODIN. and instead of calender it's now called S planner. All the ODIN did was remove root and put the tmobile bloat back

Sad news. Kinda had my hopes up as this would delete all root files. Guess not. All i want is to have a bloat free phone without any traces of root.

Lmao wow. That's the most pitiful update ever. Seriously, couldn't they have waited until there was something more substantial and then included Canadian roaming in THAT update. As always though, Verizon is dumber than a bag of hammers...

i was so sure this was a KK upgrade. been looking around for how to retain root if you take it. thanks for the info!
Hey guys, I have a question about this update,
My friend has the S3 for whom I safe- rooted, debloated and whatnot. Now that this update came, my friend tried to update but to no avail. She is adamant about the fact that Verizon definitely has something important hidden in the update, despite me trying to tell her otherwise, and figured that she couldn't install the update because she was rooted.
Naturally, I fully unroot her entire phone, uninstall root-only apps, and try the update, but it doesn't work. When the phone reboots for installation, the installation bar loads for a bit,hangs, then just says "error" and does not update.
Anyone know what the problem could be? Normally I wouldn't care so much, but if Android 4.4 is actually coming to the S3 then I don't want her not to have it, and I can already tell it's not going to work if this update doesn't either.
Thank you so much in advance.

Some of the bloatware you removed likely had to be present on the phone in order for the update to take place. Unless you are sure someone is never going to go back to stock without flashing an ODIN tar image and wiping their phone clean, best to just freeze bloatware with Titanium Backup. That way you can just unfreeze it in order to go back to full stock. Unless you have a list of the bloatware you removed and can somehow sideload them back in, you will unfortunately have to flash her phone to full stock VRUCML1 and wipe it clean.

Ah, I see, next time I'm around her I'll re-root it and backup all her stuff with titanium backup, flash the VRUCML1 and factory reset, then restore everything and see if it works.
Strangely enough, when the same update for my Verizon Note 2 came out, I was able to update while rooted even though I unsinatalled theexact same system apps I did on her phone. How strange.
Nonetheless, thank you so much.
I have a question for you all. I took the OTA update for 4.3 when it came out but after that I rooted my gs3 Verizon phone again successfully. Now I also took this last update and now lost root on my phone. I tried to reroot the phone but it fails now. There error I get on safestrap is something about the addresses not being able to be found. Can anyone help me reroot my phone so my apps like titanium will work again?
Thanks

I'd stay away. I'm pretty weary about having to pay for any service regarding my phone. It looks like a total scam. If it doesn't come from this community I wouldn't trust it.
I don't believe it's actually something you pay for. I could be wrong, but if so, it's not obvious.
Ohhhh, wait. There it is. Yeah, you're right. The "free" app just tells whether or not it CAN root your device. Asinine.
I used the Tmobile root on my Sprint phone and haven't had any issues with it thus far. Just use Odin and you ought to be savy ?

From what I saw on QBKing77 video, people who have battery drain problems after rooting their Galaxy S6 should boot into stock recovery, then wipe cache, reboot system, and that should help with your battery drain. Also you may have to wait till Chainfire comes up with a auto root tool with a sprint tar file to unroot your phone, check his google plus page for info or help.

[Completed] [Q] Galaxy Note 3 Root - Odin stuck at cache.img, can't boot

Hi all,
So I've decided to root my Exynos International Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900) using Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root. Problem is, Odin gets stuck at cache.img, then fails after a couple of minutes. Phone then displays BSOD whenever I try to boot. I can access download mode again, but not recovery. My phone is stock 4.2.2.
It's the first time I have such a problem, I flashed a couple of phones before without any trouble. I searched XDA for a solution and tried other Odin versions, different cable/ports, even tried on another computer, still doesn't work.
My first concern is not to lose any data as I didn't back anything up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to ask about any missing info.
Thanks!
I see. It didn't say on the XDA thread it was only for Lollipop, but I checked in CF's website and you're right. I've wanted to update to LL ages ago but I didn't get it through OTA. The only LL release that's available for SM-N900 in SamMobile is Russian :/ I don't know if I should flash that one...
Would it be safe to flash back my stock 4.2.2 to at least get my phone back working? Or would the Russian release work for me (assuming it has language choice)?
Also, once I choose which ROM to use, would I loose my data when I flash it? I assume it is flashed the same way than root.
Thanks!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I assume you've seen this,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423. In regards to flashing a Rom you should always clear data, dalvic cache and cache before flashing. That will erase data so backup first. You should look into titanium backup on the play store.

You're not going to like it, but you need to flash the stock firmware in Odin and lose your data. It's the only way to get your device working again.

I'm surprised. Can you at least explain why the root didn't work? I did everything as stated in the tutorial. I didn't expect a simple root operation would result in me losing everything on my phone; some data I cannot afford to lose.
Also, the phone says that using Kies in recovery mode is what should be done. Kies doesn't recognize the phone as needing repair. Any info?
Thanks !

Sorry, but live and learn. Always backup before doing any thing new on your phone. Especially rooting and flashing roms as they sometimes go wrong and rooting bypasses some of the safe guards the manufacture builds into the phone to avoid problems. Kies is crap. Learn to use Odin, if your rooting and roming you'll need it sooner or later. And you're at the sooner stage.
Edit, I'd really try asking your question here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help. I'm not sure on your device if you can go back to nb1, 4.4.4, firmware. I'm assuming there is no 5.x firmware for your device at this time. You can check at sammobile.com. But Samsung has updated the bootloader with each update and you have to flash the firmware with the same bootloader version. You can't go backwards.

SOLVED. I can't believe how easy it was. I was about to flash it over from scratch but then it struck me.
Chainfire ships Odin with all its root bundles, a version where you cannot untick "Auto Reboot". Because of Auto Reboot being ticked, Odin freezes at "cache.img". It might not freeze for some people but for me, having Auto Reboot activated causes the freeze
Downloading a different version of Odin (any version, I used 3.09) that allows changing parameters and LEAVING EVERYTHING UNTICKED BUT F. RESET TIME works like a charm.
Don't forget to reboot your phone after Odin displays PASS or RESET (Long press power).
I'm going to PM Chainfire about this, and tell a max of people about it.
Thank you for your support

I was going to use the SuperSu to do the Full unroot. If I did that, then installed the current Verizon OTA, could I then re-root using pingpong? Or does this OTA disable the ability to root again? I've read so many posts and articles from various sources, some say yes, some say no. The more I dig the more conflicting info I find.
The only reason I rooted in the first place was to swap out the mixer_paths.xml file. I'm curious if the OTA will wipe that moded file out. But that's probably another discussion.
Thanks
I rooted first and a day later took ota. After ota pingpong root just needed to "download data" or whatever then root worked fine.

I think what you are talking about is you were rooted and tried to take the Ota and it wouldn't install correct? If that's the case, yeah you have to unroot or Odin the new version then reboot.

Use the verizon upgrade utility that is on your phone when it's plugged in as an installer. Make sure your battery is charged all the way too.

That did the trick! Thanks so much. It worked just like it should have. Afterwards I did have to rerun pingpong, but that took about 2 seconds and I'm back to normal now with the update. Thanks a million!
I did that, as I usually do when I sell my phones.... It bricked it and I could reinstall stock.
Unrooting options
To summarize the unrooting options:
1. Unroot with SuperSu - By some reports this method does not work
2. Odin stock rom - Wipes the device and data, ?trips knox?
3. Use the Verizon Update Utility - Upgrades the devices to latest OTA
I am on 5.02 Stock (AOC3), rooted, Knox not tripped.
I am really not interested in wiping my device or updating to the latest OTA.
What I want to do is *temporarily* unroot to see if I can get Android Pay working again.
Has anyone had any luck with method 1 above? If android pay and your credit cards are activated/verified while unrooted, can you then re-root and still have Android Pay work?
I really miss using Android Pay... but not enough to lose root!!!
If you go into the superuser app and click the enable superuser to turn it off you can activate a card with android pay. You won't lose root this way.
I did that with my bank card and once my card was listed in Android pay I reenabled superuser and everything works fine.
I'm also using root cloaker but I don't know if it's needed.

@dobosininja
Is your android pay still working? I was able to use Android pay for only a short period ~1 day. Now I get the message "This card cannot be used right now" It doesn't matter what card I use or whether SuperSU is enabled. Maybe it is detecting SuperSU itself.
What app / procedure did you use for cloaking? Did it trip your knox?
Thanks!

Mine is still showing my card being attached, but I have not used it lately.
I am using root cloak plus, but I can't guarantee it works.
My knox is not tripped since I rooted with ping pong that didn't trip it.

If I'm correct, the Token needs to refresh from time to time. It may be that that process is detecting the root.
I'd try the Root Cloak he mentioned.

Or you could not be lazy and go look in the main forums for it.

See this:
[ROOT] TMO/VZW/ATT/SPRINT/INTL Root your LG G4 with Low Effort Root!
Yeah, works like a charm.
Has anyone tried this on a H810 10B VERSION?
How did you do the debloat? I tried manually going through and nuking various things with Titanium Backup and have managed to get into a spot where I randomly get errors like existing apps are missing dependencies. I should have stopped at nuking all ATT stuff and having most of the LG stuff not being loaded but not removing them completely. .
Anyone know where I can find all the LG Apps or a way to pull them back down without going back to a stock image then rerooting?

I see that you had success with your root on the AT&T variant. I'm using to rooting Samsung phones, so this is definitely different.
Did you encounter any weirdness by just following the original post instructions? Any tips you can pass along before I take the plunge?
Thanks!
I found it very easy but I'm also familiar with low level tools.
If you follow the guide exactly, it should be easy. Just be careful with what you "clean" afterward or you'll end up like me with some weird issues.

Don't do it, it'll brick the phone. They only have a rooted image up for the H81010g.
Follow their directions for making a system image file of your phone.
There are directions somewhere on how to root your image file so look around if you feel comfortable with that.
You can also upload your 10b image to Mega or Androidfilehosts for others to use.

Block or freeze first! There may be some files you need uploaded on Androidfilehosts.com.
If you post a list of files you need in a new thread here, someone will help you. My phone is bricked, so I can't help today.
What do you freeze to stop the automatic over the air updates?
I removed most of what on the list in the "debloater" link to stop updates. Only drawback is I think I destoryed my MMS because I removed some thing I shouldn't have.

Check my Debloat thread, I think someone mentioned which file nuked MMS for them, but on another carrier. You can also try another MMS app. I don't like the stock one.
I also got carried away and deleted some necessary apps. I did a factory reset and went through the root process again and it restored the deleted apps and now all is well.
I didn't freeze the apps, I removed them completely. I need to return to stock to resolve it more than likely hah
Did you do the basic factory reset on the phone? If that's all you did, I might do the same .

I couldn't get past the startup screen once I reset because of the blocks. LGstartup keeps crashing making it so I can't get past it. Stock it is. And now the damn stock restore keeps failing too.
