[Q] Unroot Threads Gone?

welll .. I was looking for a way to completely unroot my phone today to send it back by the 9th. But to my surprisement the unroot threads are gone. The links in the index are there but when you click on them ... they dont work. They are not in the development or the general section .. I went thru all the pages. A search didnt find anything on how to unroot this so I can take send it back.
soooo .. how do we unroot this damn thing now .. and what happened to those threads? Thanks

You DIDN'T look hard enough.

well thanks ... guess no one believe in putting "unroot" in the title for unroot threads anymore.... since that is what i was looking and searching for .. not a stock ROM. I gonna try this out ..thanks for the help again.

Wait, what happened to the 1 step unroot thread that simply required you download and install the zip file? I was planning on using that tonight.
I knew I should have downloaded the file yesterday...

yep .. thats what I was looking for .. gone it seems. I just unrooted mine I believe. I had a completely stock backup with the odex files and all .. all I did was flash the recovery image using odin after restoring the stock recovery and then a master reset.
the links I used to get the stuff I needed were:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321811
last page of this one to get the recovery since the link in the first one doesnt work

stock ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350360
I didnt use this since I had a backup but this is the stock ROM that you can probably use in jangst123 method instead of using that deodexed one... but I didnt do that ... so I cant confirm that myself .. although .. couldnt see why not.

Well wouldn't unrooting bring you back to stock status? Either way hope this helped.
If your using the stock zip make sure you flash stock kernel first and then stock rom or you'll be stuck with custom kernel logo if you had one installed.

eh not really .. I was using a "stock" but rooted rom. I was looking for the keyword of unroot... which is probably why I didnt see that one. Since there are stock ROMs that arent really stock like rooted and all.
But yes that did help and I`m sure its going to help others as well .. so thanks again for the reply.

i just need the stock kernel...

The answers are all in Development... all kernels have working wifi you may have another issue or just flash another kernel you have quite a few choices... May I ask what did you do to find one because I can see quite a few in Development

Honestly I came from an Evo and was not used to the labeling myself so I took a week to figure **** out before doing anything. But there is a thread that says full restore for Ek02 and EL13..
Edit: fyi- that's two separate threads.... you make your choice plus if you looked at the stickies or search the wiki it would give you everything with links

I was planing on going stock and rooting again so i could overclock and flash a rom sooner or later. So i guess that would be the best way with that link

That thread will give you ek02 kernel and ek02 rom, but not the modem.
Flash the modem separately if you want it.
Alternatively if you want to start from scratch, odin the eg30 factory restore from my signature, then immediately apply the ek02 ota update.

Hope it worked out for you but there is no need to go back to stock unrooted to achieve your goal unless thats what you want to do

sfhub 's methods work awesome

Is there an easy way to go back to 100% stock no matter what modem and everything else you have? This one mentions if you are on a certain version of something you won't be able to flash.

Help required...IMEI number changed

Hey, i was trying to unroot my phone and reset the counter using triangle away but now my imei number is changed and my sim card doesnt work...please someone help me.....what should i do

Which ROM you have installed? Have you tried to flash official stock rom again? If no, try to flash and see.
If you are on MF2 or ME6 ROM, then you might need to restore EFS backup.. Anyways, give us more details so that we can investigate futher.

Why? When I was an admin in a big forum like this, requests like yours never ceased to amaze me. This is a public forum, not a private messaging service. How can anyone else learn from any of it if its parts are deleted every time something's resolved!?!
It's a selfish request... in exactly the same way that someone saying they'll PM someone to privately continue the discussion, when said discussion is guaranteed to contain information from which others may benefit, is selfish. I'm not saying you're selfish, or calling you a name or anything like that. I'm simply pointing-out that maybe you didn't think it through before asking a mod to remove the thread. It's participants aren't the only ones reading and learning around here.
Food for thought.

if you don't know what you are doing read everything many times and watch tutorials on YT. backup is the key feature when you flash anything.

Which rom are you using? Check that.
Do you have Odin flashable stock rom? If not download that, then you can flash the whole rom with Odin or from there you can extract the modem file and flash with Odin. The process is not actually easy if you have never done it before. Or you can search for the specific rom modem which is flash ready and download and flash that. The easiest method would be to flash stock rom altogether.

I think I didnt make my clear, I meant what ROM did your phone originally come with, which modem or baseband version, do you know that? Was it international rom or country specific? The rom you flashed later didn't have the right modem version that is why you are in this mess, find out which rom your phone came with and then download that rom then you can either flash the whole rom or extract the modem file and flash that.

I also had the same problem with my wifes s3. I had to unroot, rest binary counter and so on. I then took it to Samsung and all they did was flash the latest stock rom from our carrier and it fixed the imei problem. if only I researched it here first would have saved me a lot of trouble. a thread such as this one would have answered all my questions. plz don't delete this thread.

update from SS odexed 4.1.1 to atleast 4.1.2??

Mods: i searched and searched but couldnt find a clear answer so i had to ask..
Need help updating my S3 that i have as my extra phone which i hardly ever used lately since upgrading to the note 2 then Note3
It's currently on rom : SS odexed Blue Holly Grail 2.5 LJ7 4.1.1 baseband LJ7
I haven't modded this phone in a very long time.. I see that there is now 4.4 roms available and been searching over and over on how to go from this rom to a higher version of android.. everything i keep finding is either outdated and links are no longer available.. or the options to update are from 4.3 to 4.4 but im still on 4.1.2
I also need to upgrade to atleast to 4.1.2 so that i am able to flash this phone to page plus and the steps/guide and programs that i will be using required that..
1) Do i need to go back to stock rom first ?
2) Is there a One click Odin zip to go back to stock
3) is there a One click Odin zip to upgrade ?
Dont really care about having to be rooted on this phone as this is just my second line and my NOTE 3 is properly customized...
Please help..
TIA.

No, just use Odin to flash the stock ND8 ROM, then flash your custom recovery. Boot into ROM ( it'll take a while ) update PRL and profile, then flash another ROM if you want
