My computer has ton of errors so Odin'ng won't work and my root uninstaller doesn't work & I'm trying to take my phone back to sprint. Is there any file a can download & flash (using clockwork v2.5.5) to get back to stock EB13 or even DI18. I can seem to find one that isn't pre-rooted or requires Odin... thanks in advance!

being that the stock kernel has been out for awhile and things seem to be moving fast, I'm thinking about rooting my ET again.
With that said, which one is people using the most to root there ET's with / the one with less issues...

I followed this method with no problems (after LOS and other problems with other methods) this pretty much gives you stock + root

I just went with this method:
[ACS][Odin]Stock EG30 Deodexed with Root 3.0/Busybox 1.18.4
Really straightforward, just flash it over Odin and done.
I like it because it's as close to stock as possible. As I understand it, it's just stock with the root-related files added, and doesn't touch the kernel at all. I'm really trying to avoid the LOS bug, since I haven't seen it a single time since launch day on stock, so I wanted to stay as close to stock as possible.

How long have you been running this with no problems? I think that the only difference is that you now have a deodexed stock rom with the stock kernel where as I'm fully stock, rom and kernel. Your setup is better because you can theme and mod a deodexed rom. If you haven't had au problems then I think ill flash this also.

I literally just flashed it tonight. There are a few people that claim they've had LOS on it, but nothing like the amount I'm seeing in the other ROM/kernel threads. It's few enough that I'm inclined to believe this is either the same level as stock (if it's true that stock really can get LOS like some people say) or maybe it's just user error. Really from what the dev said, this is just stock but deodexed with the root related files added.
Is there a way to replace CWM with the stock recovery?
Also, is there a way to unroot?
I am currently on EC05 rooted with CWM purple but I'd like to unroot and remove CWM without having to reflash and spend hours reinstalling all my stuff.
Yes. I can't gve an exact guide right now, but you should delete superuser.apk and /system/xbin/su or /system/bin/su. Then find the stock recovery

DCrocks put out a stock recovery flash. Then I guess you would remove Superuser. Why do you need to do this? If you go to Development in the stickies there is the How to fix a semi-bricked Epic. Dyeha posted links for this in one of the last posts.

I'd like to use the OTA GB whenever it arrives. I'm on stock EC05 except for root and CWM, so I think reflashing stock recovery should allow the OTA without losing my setup.
I refuse to have stock anything on my phone; I continue to wait patiently for a GB that is fully modded and hot rodded

Then you are all set...oh, no custom kernel and boot ani right?
I tried the above zip, but it caused my phone to hang on restarting; only odining something could get my phone back.
Like the above poster, all I have is a rooted stock EC03 (with no system apps removed whatsoever), and all I want is to update to EI22, either OTA or from the Google download, without losing my data. Does anyone know of another way to restore stock recovery to help make this possible?
Thanks much!
I wish I could do the same since I'm on stock rom + root. But since I'm already getting the OTA gingerbread prompt, I'm going to go ahead and try to ODIN to EC05 then upgrade to Gingerbread then root again.

That will certainly work. I did it and it worked fine. But I didn't want to lose my settings and data, and I'm not adept enough with Titanium Backup, so I didn't keep things that way. Still trying to find a way with keeping my settings/data...

Will that wipe your phone. I'm in the same boat & I don't want to lose everything again.
Hey everyone. I have a SPH-L900 and I was running rooted 4.1.2 stock rom. I was rooted to run wifi tether. I updated to 4.3 unknowing that I would lose the ability to use my Trev-E Wi-Fi tether.
I have been looking for the 4.1.2 .tar to back date but the ones I find either don't work when I try to flash through Odin V. 3.04 or the link is just no good. Is there a way to get free wifi tether with 4.3 that I'm unaware of?
I've tried the Mod and that didn't work.
Otherwise what am I doing wrong with trying to back date to 4.1.2 and where can I get a working copy of the 4.1.2 .tar?
Any and ALL help greatly appreciated!
Wes~
Use billard412 rom restore. Will wipe everything and get you back to 4.1.2 bootloader.

So I haven't been on xda for a while. I've rooted my note a good 12x. I got a replacement and decided to keep it stock as long as possible. Now my phone just pisses me off with touchwiz. I wanna flash a twrp or cwm so i can flash cm11 and so on. I know Samsung just puahed this new update out so idk if anyone has rooted it yet. Does any one know how to root and instal cwm on 4.4.2? Really want to flash a rom. Thank you very much for time and feedback

I used cf auto root heres the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644
Can you please confirm that cf worked on 4.4.2? Their site only shows compatibility up to 4.3. I've been searching everywhere, but found no confirmed reports of cf or anything else working on 4.4.2. I want to root my i317 while retaining the stock rom so that I can enable tethering.

CF method worked on my i317 with Stock 4.4.2. I seen that the compatibility was up to 4.3 but I tried it anyways.

What recovery are you using, and how did you install it, TWRP bricked mine.
C auto root is flashed with odin in download mode. While rooting, it installs a custom recovery.
maybe it's kitkat, but it didn't install one for me. When I went into recovery, it was the normal factory recovery, which allowed nothing. I tried with Rom Manager, but nothing.
CF worked
I had to manually install the latest Supersu apk then update the binaries to get it working afterword, but I'm finally rooted
Now to get tether working

Download a recovery like philz and flash it in odin while the phone is in download mode
Let me ask you this:
1. root with odin.
2. install CWM with odin?
3. Not I have 4.4.2 stock rom with root.
4. Can I install a custom rom with 4.4.2. stock rom still on the phone?

Yes, if 1 - 3 is accomplished, you are ready for experiments in custom roms. You use the recovery to flash.
But make sure you have the latest recovery, and that you check the rom instructions a few times before you do anything.
Ok....cwm from Rom manager, or twrp through odin? I don't mean to break chops, I've rooted a captivate and played with it for a year, when my wtty was over with this phone, I rooted it, and had JediX 19 on it. I went back to stock, and then 4.4.2 When samsung stock 4.4.2 was installed, for some reason, it keeps bricking on me.
Ok, I rooted, and installed twrp from odin,.... passed. When I go into recovery, it's not there.
Ok. Hopefully someone has an answer. I rooted with CF auto root, Odin....fine. Installed CWM, fine. Downloaded SuperSU.....unfortunately superuser stopped working everytime I press on it. I cannot uninstall it, because it DOES NOT show up in application manager. I installed root checker, and says phone is not rooted. I can get into clockwork MOD, but no zip files show up. Can I use Odin to re flash CF auto root?, or just quit, I would hate to brick this again.
Sounds like Knox is blocking you. After rooting, install the latest Supersu apk (2.02) and install manually. Then when you open it, it should ask to update binaries. Let it, then it should ask about dialing Knox. Click yes. Viola, you're fully rooted. After the above is done, you can play with ROMs n such.
Up till that point, there is no need to flash anything, as auto root is designed to do the work for you from a pure stock rom.

Thank you sir! I went into ES file explorer, and manually installed SuperSU. Although it never asked about dialing KNOX. I installed Root Checker, and it says I'm rooted. Appreciate yours and everyone else's help. Have a great day.
