Stock Unrooted - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I haven't done this in a while so I don't remember how to go about it. I want to go from White Out ROM v4 to the last ota ics unrooted. Would I just Odin back to it, and delete superuser? Or is it more then that? Thanks in advance.

Well, if you don't care about resetting binary counter, just grab the FL24 Original Tar from the Repo. If you do want everything 100%, then use Triangle Away while you're still rooted. Then flash the tar.
(Do the standard and backup, etc, etc)

Pc odin. Place in pda spot. Only thing you need checked is auto reboot. If you want to feel really secure about proper partioning, you can also get the pit and repartion though the low ship has the pit built in and should partion correctly.
And it happens. I have brain-farts multiple times a day. :beer:

Yeah, tried to restore with the Toolkit for GSIII, but that didn't work. Guess it's gonna have to come down to some manual labor! lol

I would think you need to Odin a custom kernel/recovery then flash a super user.zip file. Also you would need to get the super user app from the playstote

Ok could you give me some instructions on flashing kernel/ recovery with odin?
Never mind they have odin one clicks for kernels

system update on rooted s2 will I lose root?

I have a rooted s2 which I just rooted the other day, but now I'm getting an alert For an update. I don't wanna lose root.
is there anyway to block it?
or update it and not lose root?
thanks in advance
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yes. And if you are on a custom rom it may just bootloop. You may be able to find an ota killer on here.

There's also this, don't know if you have seen; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774282
edit: It has been found not to be build specific. Meaning it was put out when FF18 came but it has been used after and stopped FH13 as well)
And then this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31192830&postcount=29
But if you want to update and stay stock (you'll have to odin/mobile odin a custom recovery) check out this handy thread by Rwilco: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
One easy thing to do would also be to just get a no-data rooted one-click. that way you keep root and you also get a new build.

I'm guessing you already searched and couldn't find it.
It didn't work. For some reason it was only working on Sprint phones.

Wouldnt using Mobile ODIN allow you to flash the root .tar file from your device? Not certain as I never used Mobile ODIN.

Nope, it requires root. Unfortunately. Which I think is kind of stupid.

I just think it's inconvenient for people who want to flash tars that are not rooted. I do think the app is absolutely amazing though.
Sent from my SGH-T999
MobileODIN wouldn't work if it wasn't Root. Functional, not stupid.
Back on topic, on other devices that I have had, you can flash a custom recovery via the stock recovery but naming the file 'update.zip' and placing it in the root of the ext_sd. Not sure about the T999 series, I haven't looked into or tried it.
What about cf autoroot by chain fire?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
CF auto root requires Odin on a pc.
I really do not think there.is a way to do this. Sorry man.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Suggestion: Find an internet cafe (if you can find one that allows downloading exes)
Pay for the time you think you might need.
Download Odin
Download the files you need
You know the rest!
Or you must have a friend who would be willing to give you a go.
It takes about 15 mins to do it if you know what you are doing.
I hope that helps, cheers!
Thanks guys. Mods can close this topic now.
