There is a method albeit not what we're used to as a standard that appears to be working well. I personally am holding off till Samsung releases the actual tar file but others seem ok.

Yeah it works. Its kind of an ass backwards way of doing it, but works all the same

From what I understand, yes. The dev area is very confusing though. Now that we have a stock kernel, you can root and flash the kernel back to stock while maintaining root and recovery.

The title says it all. The only prerequisite is that you already have the drivers for your phone installed. Which i assume most people looking at this thread do as they were needed to get root in the first place.
Always back up your stuff and any apps before using.
Features:
Restores back to stock 2.3.4
Relocks Bootloader
Removes root
Fixed:
1. Now it will not run when gsm users try to use it.
2. Runs alot smoother thanks to Indirect.
Download this zip.
Extract it
Click on run.bat
and follow the onscreen instructions
now your phone should be back to 100% stock
Thanks to pete for the img files
Thanks to Indirect for the fixing problems with gsm users using this.
so this will unroot, relock, and put stock recovery back on?
Yes it returns it to the same way it was when it came out of the box. So be sure to back up any data on your internal memory you want to keep.
sweet, thanks to you and pete

No problem. I just decided to automate his process. And include all the files you need. Also if anyone needs the drivers just use pdanet as described in the one click root thread
yea i know there are the purests out there that dont believe (so to say) in the one clicks but those of us who are only partial idiots and cant figure out sdk, odin, and whatever else there is the one clicks really help. i know what i want my phone to do i just want the "for dummies" way to do it
It's like a dream come through, I now know this ns4g section of XDA is the best section.
Thanks to Mike & Pete for their Energy and Persistence.!!!

Thank you SO SO SO SO SO much! I had installed the netarchy-nexus kernel on mine, which killed my battery way to fast, and I couldn't remove it...not even with my nandroid backup.

You and me both. I just learned earlier this week that fastboot and adb were drivers that come with sdk. It is confusing without a literal step by step guide. I would like to learn all the processes and make a guide for total beginners. Unless anyone else knows of one already in existence for the NS4G?
I must admit, though, that the more threads I read the more confident I get about following through with it. All of you devs and themers and advanced users, I tip my hat to your knowledge and helpfulness with threads like these.

What screen issues are you having?
thanks for this. I wanted to return to stock for the update and did it the long way,because i don't think this was posted yet. I think anyone that is rooting their phone should at least learn how to use sdk and the commands. Im glad I had to force my self to do it that way, but this will really help for the next time with one click root and now unroot its great. I had to root again because it was delayed and cant stand stock
No problem and yes the long way is beneficial from a learning standpoint. But i prefer quick and easy and anyone who wants to learn the long way just open the run.bat file in notepad and teach yourself

Some think this is a lazy way, but some of us have to find work arounds for stuff like this. Right now I'm stuck using Wxp/ home, tried everything I could think of and still couldn't get sdk installed . This helps enormously. I don't mind learning the hard way, but I also like to do things efficiently and save time.

I dont want to use the pre-rooted kernel. Is there any way i can keep root but have the stock kernel?

Use the method above. It doesn't touch the stock kernel/recovery and you will just get superuser in your /system partition to be able to use apps meant for rooted devices.
wow I see a lot of this lately guy ask for help you give it to him and he cant even say thanks... Quite sure there will be a reason but I think this is why so many people get flamed.... @OP these guys are all right and honestly if you did a little homework you would of found the answer.. I did quite a bit of reading prior to getting my phone and I used the stock root where it did not touch the kernel... OH well good luck

Sorry for this thread and it might be dumb to somewho are a little more savy with odin and computers. I had over 12 android phones nexus, evo,nexus s,g1 mytouch 3g n so on. Never had to root using odin it was usually unlocking bootloader or just using terminal. It would be greatly appreciated if this could happen and im sure there are many people that think same way. So please if u wanna bash me n say i shouldnt root if i cant use odin then fine but this is a new method and so would alot of other ppl cause it seems we have a good development crew popping up roms n mods n kernals right and left. If a bounty is needed i will be more than happy to donate. Ty for your time.

The odin3 method is honestly very simple. You literally can root your phone in less than 3 minutes with the click of a button. I've used terminal emulator and adb methods of rooting and I can say that the only other easier method other than odin3 that I've used was z4. You can do it. Just have faith and confidence. Terminal emulator is much more harder than using odin3.

Just follow directions it is so easy. when I had my sgs4g I felt the same way, then I grew the balls and used Odin. That wasn't to root it was to convert to gb but believe me when I tell you it is easy and pretty much flawless. Just do it follow steps

Why haven't you used superoneclick? Takes 2min.

Odin might be one of the simplest ways of rooting around. Although in the vibrant days it was extremely unreliable. No so any more, its pretty much rock solid.

One of the great things about XDA is you dont have to be all that tech saavy and there are plenty of people to help with questions.
However, one should make an honest attempt to familiarize themselves with all of the tools available.
You have nothing to lose and you just might learn a lot from the experience. Then it might be your turn to help someone else
ive had a handfull of android phones also. i had never used odin and i was kindof leary when it came to using it. but it super simple maybe the ezest root method ive used. step out side the box -youll probrobly like it

Agree, I never used odin until this phone and it was extremely easy.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
I searched what I felt might be similar to my question, but nothing really similar came up. So here I am!
Now, as great as ICS is, I really don't feel like waiting for Big Red to push out the update (whenever they do). I'll try not to meander. My question is a bit specific and I'd love to get a personalized response instead of searching for a while. Like the TT says...what is the safest, stablest, relatively easiest way to get Jelly Bean on my phone? It would also be nice if it's a pure root/rom/whatever it's called If there are changes, hopefully they're minor. It would also be sweet if the root is recent.
Help would be much appreciated. I plan on coming back and not just making this a one time post

these type of questions are why i do not support/nor endorse toolkits.
Is this possible yet? I've seen a few tutorials (on other websites) talking about flashing their AT&T Note II back to stock with the following file ..."KIES_HOME_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_215287_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5" using Odin.
Although I haven't seen anyone say whether it was successful or not. Truth be told, if I don't read it for myself on XDA I'm kind of hesitant on doing it. I don't need the flash counter reset (yet), but I would just like to know that I could Odin back to stock firmware / recovery if and when anything goes wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
