So I recently rooted my Samsung S8+, G995U (The Box my phone came in says G955USQU1AQC9 and my carrier is ATT), using this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...root-partcyborgrom-aqk3-samfail-odin-t3717702. Everything went well, my phone rooted correctly, no errors. However, I found out that SnapChat doesn't work on rooted devices (rootcloak didnt work, and root switch froze my phone.). Now, I would like to keep texting friends and this one girl through SnapChat, so if anyone could help me revert back, I'd really appreciate it. If you need any other information in order to help me through, please let me know. I'd like to have this done before Saturday, but as long as I can get it fixed it should be fine. Thanks in advance.
P.S. I'm a noobie to all this, so if you could be a little clearer, than you would normally be, when explaining steps I'd really appreciate it.
P.S.S Idk how to insert images, so here's an imgur link to some other info from About Phone https://imgur.com/gallery/RhHMm

hey guys im new to the scene and trying to figure as much stuff out on my own as i can, usually i do a good job and don't need to ask for help. but i do when i have to, so the problem i am having is with a sony xperia play .
its my brothers phone and i was thinking about getting one but i want to "root" it and see whats what with it but i am trying to do so without unlocking the bootloader just incase anything goes wrong with it later so it remains under warranty. im coming from the iphone jail-breaking scene so this is a little different. but i want to give it a go. so i'm trying to root it i checked out this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765&page=1
i realize at the top of the post it says not all devices are supported because of new FW's does the FW i am on fall in this category?
i tried it with the 1.2.apk and the 1.1
im not sure why it is not working.
but i have a feeling its got something to do with the FW the phone has come with
its running 2.3.3
build number 3.0..1.A.0.145
model number r800i
kernal version 2.6.32.9-perf
i formatted the SD card before anything then after i installed gingerbreak to the phone itself. (also tried it without formatting it, i installed gingerbreak and tried to run it then and it didnt work so i rebooted formatted SD card and tried again and still nothing)
made sure the phone was set to be in USB debugging mode.
gingerbreak opens and has the options there but when i tap "root device" it just says "running exploit" ect on screen and nothing changes. on the post it says usually about 10 minutes but i read through it and one person said it worked for theirs but it took an hour and a half, but another said it took 3-5 minutes.
so i do not know what i am doing wrong. but i have a feeling its the FW it has come with out of the box but i have not been able to find out any information about it as of yet.
i have found another post saying to flash it with a UK generic FW 2.3.2 .184
but im guessing i cannot downgrade to a FW that was not on the phone from packaging. although i may be wrong but that is usually the norm with this kind of thing.
any help in getting me in the right direction is greatly appreciated, and i hope to be able to help others in the future. yes it doesn't seem like i am of much help right now seeing as i can't even get it rooted yet. but i tend to pick up on things very fast. today i am having trouble getting in to it. but soon enough i will get there thank you to anyone who read this i know it is a little long but i wanted to make sure i gave as much information as possible to make sure i haven't left out something critical if i have left out anything let me know and once again thank you for taking the time to read this post and reply (if you did reply =] )
BUMP -- ?
anyone available who can help me out at all
i know im new to the forum/site but please don't let that stop any of you. if that is stopping you
ive done as much searching as i can and i keep drawing up blanks.
So here is the issue... my GF just bought a g2x off of craigslist and there is a big problem.... i just found out its rooted.... we cant get ahold of the guy who sold it to her and dont really know anything about rooted phones or anything. so im trying to find out if there is a way to get this back to stock settings even though we dont have any of the info or backup files ect ect. any help would be so much appreciated. thank you so much!
I found a guide on unrooting the G2X after a quick Google search. Note that it'll wipe all data on the phone, so if your girlfriend has already begun using it, make sure anything important is backed up somewhere (such as on an SD card) before you begin.
Unfortunately, I'm too new of a user, so the forums won't let me post outside links. Just Google "g2x unroot" and follow the first link (entitled "How To Unroot the T-Mobile G2X and Return it to Stock - TheUnlockr").
Hi , im new here and really need some advice.
I purchased a Z3 this week and bought it second hand , even though it is new but without box. I found out it has the dreaded demo app installed because i think it was ex-display in a phone shop. Once i plug in the charge it deletes my photos,contacts,apps etc. and comes up with the demo video. Iv'e tried the codes people usually use and done something else using the computer someone suggested ,but nothing works. I was thinking about rooting the phone but after looking on forums i can't seem to find anything to explain how to root it or even if it's possible yet because its a new phone. Iv'e tried to delete the app it has but it just keeps coming back. So need to find someone way that is like rooting the phone to get access to delete it permanently. If anyone can help , would be much appreciated. Thanks:good:
Good afternoon,
My name is JJ and my phone or service has taken a dump.
I have the Unlimited Plan with MetroPCS and its paid. I was on the phone today for an hour (on another device) and they have no idea what seems to be the problem. I live in great coverage zone. I have been having troubles connecting to the mobile network as well as getting, receiving both calls and texts. When I am connected to WiFi I am fine..ish. I set up apn settings a few times, most recent today with MetroPCS. My IMEI is good, paid in full phone which is a SM-G925T-ZDETMB (Galaxy s6 edge orginally from T-Mobile)
Took it to the store and they looked at me like I am a monkey. :silly:
I need my phone for work and can't afford to get another one. It seems to be in great working order other wise. I figure I might as well flash it and root it and make it mine or something. I downloaded ODIN and got freaked out because I have no clue what I am doing.
Be cool to flash it or root it with Nougat. Is that possible?
So I was hoping for a step by step guide here.
My service and phone worked great until about two weeks ago,..now its as intermittent and flipp flopped as Trump and his hair and policies. Thanks again in advance. Looking forward to a speedy reply. I got nothing else going on.
Well ,,

Thank you for using XDA Assist ,,
Sorry
Will do, thanks.
ive been reading for a couple weeks on my spare time and we surely would like to get this phone useable. i think i understand the files ill need, the number to the phone is a 930vluds8dsa1. so the combination file ill need has a binary of "8"? ive also sorta figure out that its a straight talk phone and i will have to flassh it back to a verizon since there isnt a straight talk stock firmware? if someone could point me in the right directions i would greatly appreciate it.
i also have a note 4 i would like to root, so im still doing homework on that also
thanks in advance to anyone who give this post some of there personal time
