I am willing to pay $50 to the person who can help me solve my problem.
I have a successfully rooted T-Mobile T989 that I have been using for 2 weeks. I decided to un-root the T989 using the procedures listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319830
Then installed the :
SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax.zip
When I rebooted my phone the ROM does not appear to take at all - instead it restores my phone to a state it was in on 10/20. The phone also keeps rebooting itself over and over.
When I install the SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax.zip from recovery, it reboots 2 seconds after it says "Setting Permissions"
I have tried wiping everything, factory resetting but to no avail.
hold volumen down or up + power
go back into download mode
use odin to flash back the root
with root you can fix most of those issues
in CWR select the option to Fix Permissions
use wipe factory reset, to wipe out everything
then reboot a couple of times to make sure it's stable
once it's confirmed, then you can try to flash the un-root back into the phone
using this info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319830
by flashing this file SGH-T989-Stock-Recovery.tar
Where are you located?
Right. Thats why I hold myself from rooting my SGSII until there is a proven tested method without surprises.
Screwing up your phone is easy but paying bounty to get it fix sounds to me like a self-torture. No, thanks.

If you read extensively and follow directions to a T there's no way possible you can brick your phone. I don't know about you guys but I read about how to root, how to unroot, etc so you save yourself from headaches. Some people probably jump into things without reading and that's where issues show up. I even watch videos to get an idea if I'm not too confident.

This is exactly what I do also. I cover all ends when messing around with root. I didn't root till I knew there was a definite way back to stock.

That's how everyone should do it. Its almost fool proof to do it that way. When I rooted my first Android phone (G1) it took me about 3 days to finally do it. I read extensively and watched videos etc till I built up some confidence and got the job done with no issues at all.

Thank you for the quick reply - unfortunately this process did not work. Although I have root access, when I delete a file through ADB and reboot the phone, the file re-appears. I tried re-flashing other ROMs but when I reboot, the phone returns to a state it was in about 1 week ago...not sure what is going on.
Saw the cautionary note about bounty's - I had the best of intentions but will refrain from offering them again.
Have you tried this method to unroot the phone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323878 ? It's very simple,straightforward and works.

Thank you for the reply. I did but to no avail. Nothing that I write to the phone sticks. Although I have root access and went in and deleted an .apk through ADB, successfully, when I rebooted the phone (after clearing everything under the sun) the .apk re-appeared as though it had never been deleted.

Don't believe this is an update. This is simply the stock firmware that came with the phone. It might come in handy if/when something goes terribly wrong and a backup won't fix your issue.

I'm not exactly sure if this is the stock tar or not.....
BUT if it is, you should be able to just restore your stock nandroid and pull out the recovery file and put that in the pda slot of odin.
Or just put the entire tar in the pda slot... looking for some confirmation on this

I'm just concerned about whether that Device Status field in the About Phone settings is something that is stored underneath the OS and can't be changed once you flash something. This would be an easy indicator that the phone has been messed with and clear void of warranty for normally clueless reps even if you do a return to stock type flash. Before I rooted, it said "Factory Mode“ but now says "Modified“. I haven't touched anything else other than flashing CWM and Superuser.
Ok I am coming from a HTC sensation and I am not to familiar with Odin and I particularly don't know where to get it from to make sure it's the right one so i dont brick my baby(sgs III)?
Secondly, I have been reading through many many threads about users losing IMEI's with rooting so another question I have is what is the safest method to root to avoid this problem?
Also I am interested in flashing freegs3 by team sonic after I root so I just wanted to get some advice and stuff on this before I think about starting it so I don't end up like many users who just jumped into it and now have a paperweight.

After following that step by step and you have the clockworkmod recovery installed, turn your phone off hold volume up and home and press and hold power button to get to recovery screen, I would factory reset data, wipe cache/dalvik flash the Rom that you want flash the kernel for that Rom and reboot.

I know there's been multiple threads on this topic but I can't figure out how to solve it after reading each one. Here's my story. I rooted it and then flashed CM10 via cwm recovery and everything was working fine. One day later without doing anything my 4g started slowing down and eventually I can't get anything but edge. I looked around xda and found out that i might be missing my IMEI. Sure enough my IMEI was a 0. I tried recovering to a back up but that didn't fix it so I injected it back in via Peoplearmy's method. The IMEI is now in place but I still wasn't getting anything but edge. I tried using odin to flash it back to stock which worked but I still wasn't getting anything but edge. Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this? I have contacted Peoplearmy but he hasn't replied yet and i need this fixed asap so it would be great if someone could help me out. This is the T-mobile version of the s3. If you need any more information please ask. Thanks. I would post this in another place but I don't have enough posts. Relatively new here.
Another victim... Listen man, it's hard to say how to fix this issue. Nobody really knows how people are losing their imei although I think there is a ****ty cwm recovery floating around. If you read through the imei recovery thread there is a ton of people with the same issue as you.

From what I have read is due to cwm. Just flash twrp and you'll be fine. What you can do is just root and keep it stock. At least that gives you more freedom.

Just use the goo manager app from the market. If you Odin the recovery it will add 1 count to the ticker. Confirm this way it won't. Once installed give root permissions>select menu>install recovery script(something along those lines) and you should be all good.

You will lose all data to get back to stock unloackable. Don't cry about it if you choose to do this.
First you need to run LGNST to get back to stock.Here's a link to a great write up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082084
Then after your phone has gone through the process you will be stuck at the boot animation.
You need to have adb installed.Run
adb reboot recovery
Now in stock recovery you have to wipe everything!!!
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
reboot system
after a short period of time you should boot into stock zv7,8,9 depending on the bin you use.
I used zv7 bin to do this and waited(forgot) to wipe till after running LGNST you might be able to wipe before hand but it slipped my mind.After you do this you can wait for a JB flashable ROM or keeping playing around how ever you like.

I am coming from a Droid 4 and I remember when the leaks dropped, we were taken off of the official upgrade path.
Do we anticipate that ZVB will not be on the official upgrade path to the official release, and will we need to downgrade in order to receive the official update when Sprint/LG decides to roll it out?
By that time they'll have an unlock method figured out and you'll be able to flash a new update that way.

Any advice? I did lgnst obviously thats how i got into the bootloop cause i totally forgot to wipe data and system etc. Any help would be much appreciated.
Try booting into stock recovery by holding volume down and power until the capacitive lights flash. You will not be able to abd any data out, but from there, you can clear cache and data. Starts you with a phone fresh like the day you bought it.

When u do a backup u should be using a recovery. For example CW or TWRP2.

I tried using CWM recovery but it says error
Why do so many people on xda have such a hard time understanding what "bricked" means.
If you can easily fix it, then it isn't "bricked"
It's bricked if it has to go for jtag
If you read the description for chainfire 3d, it distinctly says "not compatible with ICS/Jellybean" so theres your problem why u have troubles... a factory reset might not be the fix. ODIN may be the only way.

Yeah it's because they can't get the phone to come back on. So that's why they think it's bricked. Plus it's the only word they know and heard of. There's also soft brick, stuck in a loop, etc. But most of the time when the phone stops working correctly, most thinks it's bricked! Lol

For me, even "soft brick" is a stupid term..
A phone is either bricked or not bricked. If it is bricked, there is no fixing it imo (other than jtag)
Odin will fix this, this happened to my S2 while I'm on JB. Just download the latest odin, and the stock rom of your Note 2, probably you can find the rom on sammobile, google will help you out, PM me if you need any assistance. Just relax, it's not broken.

You know when it's someone new they freak out, when there device isn't working the way it was! Before THEY did what they did to it!
