Hey.
My defy's earpiece just stopped working. So i think it's broken.
So If I send my defy to warranty service, do I have to delete all apps which enables ROOT, and unroot my defy?
Please quick anwers!
You have to unroot but before that u can make a titanium backup of the apps u have installed and then uninstall all the root apps including titanium backup....after u get the earpiece replaced root again and install titanium backup and restore the apps that u have backed up

Now I have been deleted all apps which needs root. And I have already titanium backup done. But I have one problem. I had 2nd init bootmenu, and as I think you know how it works. When turn power on theres blue notification light. It's still there even I have uninstall that bootmenu? And should I factory reset my defy before send it to warranty sevice?
Send from my ultimate Defy.
Orrr.... you can simply flash a stock 2.2 rom and send it to repairs, you'll only lose root capabilities and your apps and settings will remain as they were.
Edit: Since youve already deleted all apps its better to just give it a clean wipe.

So, you mean now unroot and then factory reset? ( I mean that facroreset which can do in phones normal settings)
Send from my ultimate Defy.
Its better to use the stock recovery.
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk
If you want assurance, flash a stock rom. Of course before that you'll have to do a full wipe using stock recovery. After flashing you'll have a nice clean and new stock rom. You may want to install a few apps and register your google accounts (and Facebook too!), just so it wouldn't look suspicious. (~_~)
Im gonna just unroot now, and then factory reset. And do something that phone looks like normal
Will this work?
You can simply do it manually using Root Explorer. delete followings AS ROOT USER and reboot. that's all!
1. /data/data/com.noshufou.android.su
2. /system/app/superuser.apk
3. /system/bin/su & busybox
I was stupid and rooted with z4root, and it didin't delete superuser or root files.
So can I now do this:
I Temporary root using latest z4root 1.3.0
II Delete these:
1. /data/data/com.noshufou.android.su
2. /system/app/superuser.apk
3. /system/bin/su & busybox
III Reboot. Im not rooted and root files is gone.

Install free apps from Market, and overload the phone with battery-consuming apps and things like Widgets.
Now it should be a 'normal' phone.
At least you guys have the option of sending your phone in for repairs and stuff. I've been using my phone on speaker or with a headset for 6 months cuz there are no Motorola centers in my country.

If I have superuser in my phone, but phone is not ROOTED, do I lost my warranty if I send it to warranty service, coz' broken earpiece?

Just uninstall the superuser app and then it's gone!
I think you can also open 2nd init and delete the recovery menu there. After that your phone looks absolutely normal (and it actually is).
I'm not sure if you really loose your warranty if your phone is rooted, maybe it's just said to keep you away from rooting your devices. I've heard (my own Defy has never been broken) that your Defy will still be replaced (also, the earpiece isn't broken because the phone is rooted...) or the root isn't even noticed.

I cannot delete/uninstall superuser, you see it's system app, and Im not rooted anymore.

Hm, I see.
But it might already be enough to use any alternative launcher (if you aren't already) which is able to hide apps from the app drawer, then it probably would not be noticed by someone.
I assume the boys at the warranty center (or whatever place your broken defy will go to) have had many broken earpieces before and will not check everything of your Defy but just replace it.

Just flash a Stock SBF.
And send it with no apps and without info/SD Card.
It wont look suspicious, NO ONE should send a phone to a repair center with their information, google accounts all personal things in there.
You can replace it yourself using thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12094566 Replaced the earpiece on my wifes Defy for $5. Took 6 days for the part to get here and 15 minutes to replace.

I would have to agree here. Make a backup of everything, then factory reset the phone.

Hi, I soon will be purchasing several Samsung note 2s for my company. I would like to set up one with what apps I want permitted, appearance and security restrictions on one phone. Would it be possible then to install this on every subsequent phone? I don't want to remove any of the Samsung software or anything, simply customise the phone and easily apply those changes to many phones. I've searched about custom ROM's, would that be the best route to go down?
Not to rain on your parade, but how would you prevent them from hitting XDA, connecting to Odin or whatever, and going on their merry way?

Hahaha. Sorry that was just too funny. But he is right, you might need to brainwash your employees into using their top of the line device to only use your apps that you predefine.
Here's another way to go about it: check each employees phone before work everyday to make sure everything is how you want it.
I'm not sure how to set it up, but I think it is safe to say that if you do, it won't be changed through the owner flashing custom ROM's.
I don't think an average person knows about that stuff and wouldn't look into it too much.
Good luck
Thanks for the replies

I can already enforce the security policies via Google Apps Enterprise. So if they did wipe the phone and flash it, they'd need me to reactivate their phone to allow them to access company emails and documents e.t.c
What part in particular wasn't a smart question?

Indeed my employees are social workers I really doubt flashing their phone will be top of the list.
So I need to create a custom rom and flash it to the other phones?

Oh right sorry since it was put in your post rather than in your signature from the user control panel it made me think it was aimed at me. Interesting reading though!
Can anyone help me further with this?
Try using avast from playstore. U can restrict lots of things plus settings with a passcode. And its free.

what about using an app protector and just set it to lock the settings / market / install / uninstall prompts?? leave the rest unlocked and just have a normal lock screen if required?
i think smart app protector is free.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I can enforce a few things when I enroll the phone to google apps and will probably end up using an app.
I just need a way now to do this all on one phone and copy all the settings, display customisations e.t.c easily to all other phones rather than go through the process every time. Can anybody help??
Hi. ..
M not expert. But I think this could be a solution.
Root all with exynos abuse. Install recovery of choice.
Modify the device. Create backup .and restore on all devices.
And .restore stock recovery. Use triangle away if binary count is increased. And unroot.
Others Pls correct if am wrong.

You could use titanium backup to backup the original phone and restore it to all the other phones. If stock, this would only backup apps + data. If rooted, you could also add the root addon so you could backup settings + data and again restoring the data from the original phone backup

Hi, this looks interesting. I've had a look and it says that it does not backup all possible settings, does anyone know what settings are not backed up? And are home screen customisations backed up?
The comment about a recovery backup is akin to making a ghost image on a pc. This route would likely be easier than trying to roll your own rom first time out of the gate.
So, build out a phone the way you want it, use recovery mode to make a nandroid/backup/ghost, and then push that to the other phones via recovery mode on them.
Recovery mode is an alternate booting area where you can run backups and restore, and the mode you use to "flash" new roms, updates, and scripts.

Hi,
Here are detailed steps with links.
1. Root all phones using Exynos Abuse apk by Chainfire.
get it from below Link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297#
Install SuperSU from Google Play after rooting, (if it is not installed by rooting process itself) *.Thanks to Chainfire.
Note : there are other methods to root which needs to use Odin . Try out below guide. Very useful it is.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930418
2. Now Install Recovery of choice . There are two recoveries most used. Both equally good
a. CWM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901196
b. Teamwin - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956939
btw I use Teamwin, as easier for first timer with touch controls
3. Now you can modify the device(only one), Search this forum and google for your requirements.
4. Once done with all the changes. You need to use recovery to get a backup. It will be Images of various partitions of the phone memory including system, boot, etc. ( note - Do not take back-up of EFS, Only Data and System will work for your requirement)
5. Copy Back-up folder on a memory card. Insert in other phones and restore back-up using recovery.
6. Now You will have all the modifications you need, but your phones are rooted and hence no warranty, You need to unroot to claim warranty
7. before unrooting use Triangle away to reset binary count. You get it from below link (again Thanks to Chainfire)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
8. Unroot using SuperSU (option available in settling). Also check Google more about unroot process. ( There is reason I claim myself as NO EXPERT)
You will need ODIN.exe on your PC .
get ODIN 3.07 zip from http://samsung-updates.com/Odin307.zip.
Do follow all the instructions on each of the links I have provided.
Bye TC

I edited the link a couple times. Sorry.
Make sure you downloaded the APK to your phone from the current link. Make sure that you have 'unknown sources' enabled in settings/security/unknown sources.
Install the apk.
Open the Exynos Abuse application
Scroll down and tap the 'Unroot device button"
Also by law, they will have to replace or fix the phone even if you are rooted. It is a known hardware related issue that is not cause by having a rooted phone.
More infor on that :www.xda-developers.com/xda-tv-2/your-warranty-is-not-void-xda-tv/
Ok unrooted but how do I get supersu, and superuser uninstalled?

You need to use that app to re-root and use SuperSU's cleanup. Uninstall that, then re-run Exynos abuse to take away root again, then you can just uninstall SuperUser as normal.
Hello,
Could someone please help me to stop service - com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup ?
This particular service is giving close to 1000 wake calls in very less time.
my phone is with stock rom & i have rooted it. I have read in one of the blog to delete "fast dormancy.apk" file. even though i delete that file, i can still see that service is wake calls to my phone.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Don't look for it in Backup & Restore. Go to Batch actions - All, scroll down to Un-install, press RUN where it says : Un-install all user and system apps, press DESELECT ALL, then search for that file, select only that file, and unistall it.

Since here one person suggested to use titanium backup to freeze or delete it, i relocated those apk file again to system/app, now it seems that service is totally missing.. making me crazy!!!

Yes, do a repair, and after that if you still want to delete com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup, do it and don't restore it again. And you'll be fine.

Hello everyone, I'm a new member to this site, and I've heard that this site is where i can go to get some answers to problems, that being said, i was hoping y'all can help me with a problem I'm having with my phone.
So I rooted my Sprint LG G2 phone (this is the first time I've ever rooted a phone), then i went to remove some unwanted apps off the phone, then I thought to test and see if I can go back to stock, and without even thinking about the removed apps that i could've restored, I did a factory reset on my phone, it boots up, and I'm still rooted, and the apps that I removed did not come back, so I went to this app call "superSU" and did a full unroot, after that, I restarted my phone, and I still notice that I have root apps installed like "G2 Xsposed, Xposed Installer, Unistall, and Root Browser, so I opened up "Root Checker", it says my device does not have root access, yet I still have G2 Xposed, as well as other root apps I have, so I'm hoping that I can get the apps that came with the phone back (apps like "Clock Widget, Weather Wiget, Music Wiget, Music, SVI settings"), and go back to when I first bought this phone. Is there any simple method I can do to fix these problems with y'all help, I would really appreiate it.
