[Q] Can you unroot without using a PC?

I'm new and I hope I'm not posting this in the wrong place or re-posting an old question, but I have been searching on this and other sites for days and haven't been able to find anything pertaining to my question, so sorry in advance If I'm not posting this correctly.
I have a rooted epic touch with rogue boot loader installed and UnNamed rom installed. I really liked the way it was running until I had some kind of malfunction happened and now the battery charge light won't shut off and the battery drains within a couple hours of standby time. the phone is only a couple months old and would like to take it to the sprint store as I'm assuming this is an obvious hardware issue. My problem is that my pc doesn't recognize my phone anymore so I can't flash back to stock and get rid of root, voiding my warranty. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling kies and stand alone drivers multiple times with no avail. I've tried with the battery and sd card removed and have also tried on multiple pc's (2 win7 and and xp machine). every time it says the drivers weren't installed successfully and to replace the device being connected.
My question: Is there a way to revert to stock off of the internal memory of the phone? I know there are zip roms you can flash from the boot loader but I was wondering if there was a way to flash a rom from zip and install the original boot loader as well as get rid of root? Any help I can get would be extremely appreciated and again I apologize if I am wasting anyone's time by asking in the wrong place or re-asking a question.

Ok so I downloaded the Calkin's_Stock_Rooted_EK02_ROM_v1.0 and got it on my sd card via dropbox. Flashed and now have a stock rom on it which I think is a step in the right direction.
The only thing is now I have clockwork boot loader and still rooted. and still not recognizing on pc. anyone know of an unrooted zip with original boot loader?

I couldn't get my PC to recognize either of my 2 E4GT's, each due to a different reason, both issues were resolved by going through each step in sfhub's debugging checklist:

This post is for the FAQ section:
Why is the install stuck waiting for device to be connected?
Your phone isn't being recognized by your PC as an Android device.
When the drivers are installed and the phone is properly recognized, you should see the following in start->run->devmgmt.msc
Code:
Android Phone
SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface
Modem
SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem
Until you get the SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface to show up, neither ADB nor this script will work.
Here is a debugging checklist:
1) dial ##UPST# (##8778#) in the dialer and verify AP (or ALL) is checked (if CP is checked, phone won't be recognized as an Android device)
2) restart the ADB server (choose Option G to stop the server, it'll get started automatically by the script)
3) verify USB Debugging is ENABLED
4) verify USB drivers are installed (Win7-64bit see below)
5) try a different usb cable
If you are in Win7-64bit try changing the default install location for the drivers:
If you see an error like this:
Try running the CMD prompt (or e4gtauto-sfx.exe) as Administrator. Right-click on the CMD icon (or e4gtauto-sfx.exe) and select "Run As", then select Administrator.
If that doesn't work, try disabling windows firewall.

I went down that list and everything seemed to be in order but still no recognition by pc. I kept uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and switching usb ports and it finally installed the drivers successfully long enough for odin to recognize it and to flash back to stock. As soon as it was done the machine stopped recognizing it again. Lucky break I guess. So I can now return it to sprint and deal with the hardware issue.
I would still like to find a zip file like the tar that I flashed that installs stock recovery and non rooted ek02 rom and kernel from cwm, if that's even possible.
Thanks Godswrath, for helping me out.

You could use wifi explorer to get files on to sd card and mobile Odin to flash the tar file back to stock....

Lol....I am a noob.
They make a mobile Odin? That would have saved my like 4 hours....

My p600 won't root!

Hi,
I have downloaded odin 3.09 on my laptop with Windows 8. Also the two files I need to use whilst rooting. Then ticked usb debugging box. Got tablet to odin mode and plugged into laptop. When I press start to root nothing happens. The com port sign is blue, I have kies 3 installed with usb drivers.
Totally lost now, I followed the instructions of what to do but my tablet won't root. I am in the uk and was hoping to root my note to the upgrade to kit kat instead of waiting ages for samsung to do it.
Has anyone got any ideas to please help me get my note rooted. Is there something different using windows 8. I have inserted usb drivers that was on the instruction page as well.??

I tried to root mine as well. Started Odin and seems all went well, but after reboot, "Rootchecker" still says that the device isn't rooted. I'm lost here as well. I hope someone with more experience can help. Thanks in advance.

root solution
hello i use to have the same problem,im runing 4.4.2 kk here is the solution pd,im not the the one who did this
here is the original thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719750
Root Download Links:
TWRP: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/lt03wifiue
Super SU Zip: http://download.chainfire.eu/396/Sup...erSU-v1.94.zip
After cf root:
1) Download TWRP 2.6.3.3 img.tar file and DONT unzip
2) Put tablet into Download mode and connect to Odin (You should already have Odin).
3) Un-tick the auto reboot option only and press the AP button and select the TWRP you downloaded and flash.
4) Once successful, power off tablet and reboot into recovery manually and flash Super SU zip.
5) Reboot...........
To flash new update:
What you need:
• Correct Drivers installed
• Odin: http://android.sc/download-odin-3-09/
• A good, solid USB cable
Thanks to @scrosler for the following guide:
1. Download Odin from the links
2. Extract the the .md5 file from the zip file you downloaded above.
3. Boot tablet into "Download" mode. You can do this by holding Power and Volume - (down) when the device is shut off. I note on this device it can be a little trickier so you may have to try a couple times. You should now see this on your tablet
4. Connect Tablet to PC using known good USB Cable
5. Start Odin and Press the "AP" button to load the tar.md5 file. This may take a while as it is also calculating the MD5 to ensure you have a good file. A bad file means bad issues and it wont let you flash it (good fail safe).
6. Once Odin sees the Tar and loads it completely AND Odin sees the tablet press the Start button to begin. Can takes about 5 to 10 minutes so be patient. Do NOT check or uncheck mark ANY other Options in Odin unless you know what you are doing!
7. Once it complete you will have a factory image on your tablet. Yay!
8. But we are not done. You may also want to, at this point, reboot to recovery and do a full data wipe. This method of Odin leaves the SD card and user data intact. To get into recovery hold Power and Volume + until you see the stock Android recovery. Select format Data, reboot. Boom, your tablet is like brand new!

Can anyone direct me to a site where I can download the correct usb driver?
I have an SM-P600 running 4.3 and I’m working with my wife’s Windows 7.0 tablet. Odin 3.09 is installed but I haven’t been able to find the correct drivers.

Help son's New Tablet

Hi Guys,
Bought a used but like new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 wi-fi (SM-T310) for my boy.
It's installed with latest stock firmware (T310XXUBNH3) and I need some guidance to root it.
I do not to mess around with the kid’s tablet, I just want to root it, so to be able to uninstall all system apps and do other simple stuff.
I have searched Google and what I found, is that root has to be through ODIN.
I have downloaded the files (ODIN and Root) and when I put the tablet in download mode Odin does not recognize it.
I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro and I noticed that in Device Manager, it’s showing as unknown device. When I try to update the driver only gives me the option to install it as a samsung modem usb, but even after that, keeps showing as unknown.
I have Kies installed and the drivers, supposedly installed, since with the tablet connected, the computer recognizes it immediately.
My problem is then the Download Mode, I’m positive because its missing the correct drivers.
I have also tried to switch cables, very dumb I know, but I had to try.
So my questions are:
1. where can I find the correct drivers for Download Mode?
2. Is there any other and simple way of rooting this baby?
Thanks guys

Download THIS.
Extract and run the UniversalADBDrivers file. That will install ADB drivers. Ensure that you have enabled USB debugging under the Developer Options in settings on the tablet. If you don't see the Developer Options, tap the "build number" 10-12 times to enable it.
If it still doesn't work, you will need to ffnd a Windows 7 or XP computer.

fantastic!
thats worked like a gem.
thanks a lot m8

SM-P607T charges but will not connect to any PC - won't even try

I have an SM-P607T with an active T-Mobile plan - though I bought it from a third party then added it to my account. Previously everything worked fine, as I tried CM and a few ROMs on it, but ultimately went back to stock TMo ROM, 4.4.2, and just rooted it. Hadn't used it in awhile, grabbed it and thought I'd update to official Lollipop build.
First off, I disabled SuperSU and tried to apply the 4.4.4 update, assuming after that it'd offer me 5.1.1. Applying the 4.4.4 update failed. I factory reset the device in recovery mode (stock recovery), which of course fully removed SuperSU. Still fails updating. I downloaded the Lollipop ODIN tar, and that's where I started running into showstopper issues.
When I plug in a USB cable from a PC, the tablet starts charging, and that's it. There is no sign in windows that a device has been connected, no ding that something has been attached, no driver search. I tried this on 3 Win10 PCs. On all of them I installed Samsung Drivers, and even installed Samsung Easy Switch (new KIES). It would never register that it was plugged into a PC. I tried plugging my Note 4 in, registers and works fine (I read a thread on here by someone saying Win10 wouldn't recognize Samsung devices - not the case for me, phones work fine, just the tablet that won't show up). There is NO driver issue because the system never acknowledges anything is connected at all. I tried 3 PCs and 4 USB cables. I tried Samsung Easy Switch/KIES device recovery - tried putting tablet in download mode and tried putting it in recovery mode; neither ever shows up on PC. I tried using ADB, does not show up in devices (I have USB Debugging checked, Unknown Sources checked, etc etc).
I downloaded the Lollipop ODIN tar.md5 and put it on the microSD card. I loaded stock recovery, chose to flash from external storage, selected the .tar.md5, it said it was flashing it, said it flashed successfully even. Rebooted and it hadn't flashed at all.
Does ANYONE have ANY idea how to get my tablet updated? I can handle not being able to connect to PC, but I want to at least get OTA updates working. Factory reset, apply 4.4.4 OTA, fails after reboot every time.
Help?!

I have the similar problem as you. Someone said it could be easily resolved by enable CP logging in the recovery menu. I saw the solution after I got my device working so I did not try that.
My procedure is
1. Enter this using calculator (+30012012732+
2. enter *#0808#
3. switch to "DM+MODEM+ADB " option, OK, and reboot
4. until now, I could see the USB device in my Windows Device Manager, but MTP function won't work
5. repeat step 1 and 2
6. switch to "MTP+ADB" option, OK, and reboot
7. Done. Device could be identified. (Windows 10 x64 Pro)
Hope it could be useful for you.

Hi i have a similar problem as you, my Note is the SM-P600 that I rooted and has TWRP v2.8.7.0 and last time I went into recovery, the thing came up with a stock red upper left hand side text say "recovery in not seandroind enforcing" then ended up with the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again" but the damn thing will not connect. 2 usb 3 ports and 2 usb 2 ports multiplecables- anker, samsung you name it-musical ports, tried right clicking the 4 usb port hubs and unchecking power saving in power mgnt- nothing- yet my the usb drivers see my note 4 just fine, in device mngr, the note tablet shows up in usb at the bottom as samsung device, I am just perplexed as to how to un**** this thing. If you have any suggestions and can let me know I'd appreciate it.

Samsung Tab S t705 Lte Bootloop

Ok so i have a Samsung Tab s t705 lte and its right now in a bootloop. So I rooted it and flashed twrp. Then i flashed xposed framework. Flash successful but it entered a bootloop. I tried uninstaller but it still remained in the bootloop. Then i restored a nandroid backup but it still is in a bootloop. I tried clearing cache and dalvik Cache and wiped data too. Still a bootloop. Now im trying to flash stock samsung rom ( i got it at sammobile) through Odin 3.09. Ive got the appropriate drivers and everything installed. Only problem is i dont know how im supposed to enable USB debugging when im in a bootloop. If you have any solutions..please let me know.
PS- Its not deodexed nor is the bootloader unlocked. Also, im an adb noob so ill need help with the commands.
Thanks in advance!

You dont need to enable usb debugging or adb. Not sure what makes you think that?
Just install the Samsung USB drivers, put your device in download mode, put the stock firmware in the AP slot of ODIN and hit start.

Not able to install drivers

No the point is that I tried installing the drivers but it said installation failed, please connect device to computer to install successfully. And when i connected my device to the computer, since the drivers werent installed it couldnt recog it. and also, i dont really know much about drivers for samsung. i just downloaded smt i found off google called USB DRIVER FOR SAMSUNG auto installer. Im using a HP laptop, with a intel i5 process, windows 7, radeon graphics card. Thanks

Just download drivers from Samsung website all they do is enable your laptop to communicate with the tab......then download a older version of Oden and a rom that matches your device from update.com there you will also find a how to gide.
