[Q] Root on GT N8013 Wifi

I decided to set my GT N8013 as root but I used wrong files (for N8000 only) and put it in by accidentally. Is there any way can I get it remove? Like start over?

Just to clarify, you tried to root your n8013 but used odin to flash the files for n8000? Does your device work currently? I am sorry just trying to figure out what exactly is going on.

Yes, I tired to root my n8013, somehow I oversight files which is for n8000. My device is work well expect it running like 3G. I am trying to get it back to run like N8013.
Hope this is helping?

I have the same problem! I cannot update via OTA because CWM recovery keeps popping up and interrupting it (even though I flashed UEALGB stock recovery using Odin

Well if you can't get it to completely get rid of CWM then i would try and odin complely back to stock, you can get the firmware from samsung-updates.com i actually had to do this as well. The file is around a GB but it should clear up any issues that you are having. PM me if you need more specifics.

[Q]

Hi all,
I have very minimal knowledge when it comes to Android development - I have never flashed a rom, but I have rooted my phone. Recently, I purchased an AT&T Note 3 from my little brother after he had tried his hand at modifying the phone. He rooted it, flashed Knoxraid, didn't like it, and wanted to revert - he removed root, kind of stupidly, before doing anything else. Now, the phone runs Knoxraid, but isn't rooted and I have been unable to get root again. What am I doing wrong, or what don't I understand?
Thank you all.

download this here and unzip it when its done http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=25106 its android 4.3 so if you want kitkat make sure that kitkat has a root guide if there is one.
download odin here also https://mega.co.nz/#!UdRRyCAT!H4FyVxYynNWvXqRNmnpMGQRCP-dG3uykgP2pT4rh8Ek unzip it as well
Take out your battery and go into download mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons) open odin and connect your phone (in download mode) to your computer, make sure in odin one of the id:com boxes changes color after you plug in your phone. (i dont know what color it is in odin 3.0.9 i have older samsung phones so older odin name for me lol) select AP and select wherever you put the firmware, Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked after that click start and sit back and watch, be sure to move your files onto your computer if you need any from it like pictures/music.

My wife is getting my gs3, But.....

The wife gave me a gs4, with the condition I unroot my gs3 and give it to her. Sweet, until when I connect my gs3 to my computer odin, never sees it. I am running:
Odin ver 3.07
Android version 4.3
Baseband version I535VRUCML1
Kernel version 3.0.31
CleanROM 8 core Edition
Hardware version I535.10
Do have samsung drivers installed.
I am assuming/hoping that is more info than is needed.
My plan was to use odin to put stock kit kat on and lock everything back up. But when I enter download mode and connect to my computer(whether odin is open before or after) Odin never puts a com port up, aka it never connects to the phone. Am I running the wrong version of Odin? If so, which should I be running?

i normally use odin 3.07 but i updated to stock kitkat with kies this time without a hitch. if youre locking it down for her thatd be the simplest way.

for me when i hooked my phone up it told me there was an firmware update available. if thats not the case for you try going to tools and firmware upgrade and initialization. you got the phone on a tw rom right now or aosp? that might be part of the problem if its on aosp.
p.s.- tell the wifeh to stop hovering, pressure dont help fix phones XD

Nothing happens when I plug in my phone. If I try telling kies that my phone model is Sch-i353v , it tells me to check the sticker and try again

Did you check in device manager? My problem was fixed by updating the device driver through device manager.

Consider yourself lucky given the high likelihood locking up the boot loader after returning to stock.
I would stick with CleanROM 8, nandroid backup your current image, wipe data and hand it to her for the first boot setup process. She will never know the difference and never be prompted to take a lock-it-up ota...
Fwiw, did you try different cables?

Sorry, I fixed this last night and failed to post. I tried two cables originally. Eventually I got frustrated and tried a third cable, and everything went through like a champ. There may have been some cussing at this point, but then there was beer. So it worked out

I had a similar issue with another Samsung device.
First check your download.
Did you download directly to PC? If not, do that first.
What Odin are you using? I have 3.10 and 3.11 that switch between just in case.
What windows are you using? Might need to restart PC.
Check your developer settings on device. USB debugging needs to be checked and verify apps through USB unchecked.
If you download firmware on phone and move it over to PC, you risk corruption of file. That was my mistake before.

I Need Help. :/ I had to unroot my phone due to the snapchat security thing preventing me from logging in. I had a hell of a time trying to find the work around to being rooted and still being able to bypass that security crap so I could use my snap. Finally gave up and flashed the stock firmware and did factory reset.
I have 2 problems I need help fixing.
1. Video calling doesn't work. Dial and it just beeps and ends call instantly
-I was able to video call fine when I was rooted and the LAST time I reflashed the stock tar, but it was an older firmware.
2. 4glte logo is gone and 4g speeds are not there or the same...
-My 4glte logo would pop up when I had 4g connection and it was a noticeable speed difference. When I unrooted and flashed this OEM firmare, my emblems are completely different and my speeds are so slow now compared to yesterday prior to reflashing this. I also have an "H+" sign for network now. Never have I seen that...
---------- Post added at 05:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 AM ----------
Oh I forgot, I have ALWAYS been able to use my 4g while on the phone, now that I did this I cannot do that anymore at all. the weird H+ signal icon comes up but no data at all or extremely slow. This is a first time for that ever, even when rooted 2 times and flashed back to factory 2 times.
Please someone help...

Trying to unroot a Galaxy S6...losing the will to live :(

Can anyone help? I spent a big chunk of my hard earned money on a refurbed S6 for my daughter, she's had it about a week (she's Pokemon mad btw). The latest update for Pokemon Go came out and now she's blocked from the game as it appears the phone has been rooted. If I'd known, I wouldn't have bought it. Anyway, for the last 2 days my partner and I have been trying to unroot it. We've used various versions of Odin to no avail. I had a lot of trouble finding the right firmware because it looks like the phone was Polish according to the version and CSC numbers, and tbh I'm still not sure if we're trying the right one. Software is 5.1.1. right now. I've tried installing SuperSU but it won't run, it just crashes the phone and forces a reboot. We've tried manually unrooting with a file manager but the su files we need to delete reappear seconds after they're deleted. I'm at the end of my tether, does anyone have any ideas?

You won't be able to unroot it until you flash stock firmware. I don't know if the game checks the knox status.
Give this a go

Unforunately my partner spent almost all night trying to flash the firmware. According to him it 'nearly' worked, however, I now have a phone stuck in a boot loop. :crying:

Smart switch won't work, says it doesn't recognise the device

I think I would give original firmware of your country and odin a try. One of possible ways is to download all needed files from the site of sammobile.
For me this way works every time when I stuck in boot loop. Odin functionates when you are in download mode. Switch off your s6, then start by pressing home-, powerbutton and Volume down at the same time.
Then start Odin on PC, then connect USB and so on.

When you select emergency recovery theres an option where you have to write the device model and the serial number

Use kies 3 on your computer. When you get it do a "firmware upgrade and installation" it will ask for your serial number which you can get from download mode when pressing the home key. After that kies 3 will ask to boot your phone to recovery but instead boot to download and bow your phone will flash to stock. This method always work!!

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I've tried Kies already and I can't get it to work at all. I get a message telling me my device is not compatible and the whole thing just stops. I'll give it another go though, no harm in trying. Thanks

@amber_1978, Pokemon Go does not check for root. The only thing it does seem to check for is location spoofing via another app. I'm using it on a rooted, Knox tripped, Xposed installed phone with no issues.
If you want to return the phone back to stock, the best way IMO would be to use Odin to flash a stock image, such as the EPD1 firmware.

Really? Did you do the latest update in the game and it still worked ok? This phone has definitley not been used for location spoofing by us and I'm pretty sure there were no apps of that nature on the phone. I downloaded a root checker when everything went wrong the other day, it said the phone was rooted. I'm totally at a loss tbh. Right now it's still in a boot loop. Trying to flash it with Odin as we speak.

Just an update. Tried Smart Switch. Tried the model and serial numbers on the back of the phone case, these weren't recognised so I went to the recovery screen and hit the home button and got a completely different set of numbers. Different IMEI, model number, you name it. I'm assuming this is why Odin won't work, I'm looking for the wrong firmware? I obviously have Frankenstein's phone. No idea what to do now.

Best thing to do is to flash TWRPP and try to flash a custom stock rom through the TWRP recovery which does not have root installed..... If that doesn't work try to find a generic stock firmware for Odin, meaning a firmware that can run in any country..... If all else fails update it to 6.0.1 stock firmware. Try the closest firmwares to your location.
And if you do manage to get to the Samsung logo let the phone sit there for a good 10 minutes even if it reboots....
When I bricked my Samsung I used masiks custom 6.0.1 rom based on stock, but had all the links to bootloaders cscs radios and what not so giv that a shot if you can find it.
