Unrooting :'( which way?

Seeing as how my phone probably has hardware issue making income volume not hear-able at ALL as if it was on mute, I will order a replacement.
Which would be the best way to un-root?

Im on CM7 btw.
I find it much easier to just do the nand-restore way..
Has anyone tried it that way?
and i need to have radio 7.08, right? i have it already installed.

just put the eng zip from the champions build into your sd card, wait for it to tell you if you which to update via recovery, choose yes by pressing volume up I believe, then wait... reboot when it tells you if you which to reboot, then thats all I did that around like.. 6 days for my replacement no need to push the files or anything.

lol eng as in "SlideEng-package.zip" or esprimg?
Cuz there is this that sounds just like what you're saying..
Ive Decided to Post the Factory Rom due to Request & I've already saw one or two Problems from the Phone so far, and thought it would be a good idea to give everyone the Option to go back to Stock!!
Just Rename > ESPRIMG(2).zip
to ESPRIMG.zip & place on the Root of your Sdcard..
1.
Power Off the Phone either by Power Down / Battery Pull..
2.
Hold Volume Down + Power Button..
3.
Walk away, get a soda / Give the Better half a Kiss or two
4.
Hit the Volume Up key to Confirm to Flash.
Once Done you will have a Stock Espresso Phone again..

You got misinformed by a post further up. You flash this via HBOOT, not recovery. Boot into hboot by pressing vol down + power. Then it will prompt you to flash.

[Q] Think i've bricked my Nexus

Hi Guys...
I'm a complete Android noob, and an idiot to boot... I bought a UK Galaxy Nexus SIM free last week, and flashed it with ClockworkMod over the weekend in preparation for CM9.
when i went to boot into Recovery, I got the droid with his Chest open, but no options to access anything / ROM / etc...
So I searched the market for a Custom Recovery, thinking this was what I needed... the second i tapped 'install' my phone seemed to trip out (almost like a fuse tripping, but quietly...
Now my phone won't turn on / boot up / or anything... After screaming and shouting at my self for being such a c*ck I looked online at the Market to see what it was I had just installed on my (now) £500 paper weight, and turns out i have installed an ACER tablet recovery image.
I use Mac iOS-X Lion, and my adb won't detect it at all...
What do i do...???? My knowledge of this stuff is... well... not good enough to have been playing around in the first place... can someone please point me in the right direction to get a Samsung Bootloader / recovery / whatever, and tell me how i load it up
thanks

If you have battery pulled and your phone won't turn on, even after charging, there is not much anyone can do.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear...
First thing, pull the battery and put it back in. Then hold down volume up AND down and then press the power button whilst continuing to hold the volume buttons. If you're lucky you'll get into fastboot mode. If you do, you can then flash the stock image back onto the device (see this guide for instruction on that).
Assuming it works, you can thank yourself lucky and walk away safe in the knowledge that READING UP ON THINGS YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WILL HELP YOU IN THE FUTURE
Should also point out the above is all for Windows so get yourself a decent OS and you should be OK

It shouldn't brick while flashing recovery - is that all you did? Which app did you use?

It depends on where recovery was flashed (as in, destination of flash).

? why dont you go for where you bought the device ! they will probably take money for fixing it but better thant throw it in the rubbish

Not really the answer i was looking for
Just come off the phone to the person that is looking at it for me... Odin seems to be detecting it, so he 'thinks'... he might be able to push factory firm where back on it... although, its gonna cost me a fortune
Fingers crossed...

Ok... if you want a laugh (at my expense)... I flashed Acer Recovery Installer on to it... was too eager to get it done, and just presumed because it was in the market, it would work

You really shouldnt be paying anything for it. It sounds like you could have done it yourself reading through the guides in the dev section...if you aren't going to take the time to read and learn, you shouldn't be rooting and flashing...

I wouldn't have charged you to get it working personally, just that you covered the cost of postage
If it can get into ODIN then you should be OK. Get any random Nexus FW on it to get it booting then use the factory images to get the latest official FW back on it and job done

1. Download a valid CWM image to your computer (toro or maguro).
2. Reboot into bootloader mode (hold vol up/down + power with the phone off, or adb reboot bootloader)
3. fastboot flash recovery C:\path\to\recovery.img
Done.

what? your actually gonna pay someone to do it?...odin is the easiest tool kit to use...a child could do it...if you cannot use odin, you have no reason even customizing or rooting your phone in the first place...not to sound mean...but one has to read and research like most of us to achieve the things we want out of our devices....most people hear are not gonna hold your hand and do the work for you....read the thread odin toolkit.....it really is so simple I did it my first try to put 2 phones back to stock....what's the worst that can happen?

[Q] Sprint Galaxy S III Rooted/Installed ROM... Now won't power on. Help!

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for a little help today.
I rooted my new Sprint Galaxy S III using Odin3-v3.04, and CWM_SuperUser_v3.0.7. Afterwards I rebooted and all was good.
I then downloaded I9300_Omega_v6.0_XXALF6 ROM and loaded on my phone and rebooted into recovery to install the ROM. I went through the install process, selected remove bloatware and installed. When finished I checked the reboot phone and clicked finish. The phone turned off and didn't ever turn back on.
I have pulled the battery and tried to power on using recovery, download mode and just power but nothing works.
Anyone have any idea what I can do?
Thank you for your time and help.

New phone on the way!
I was able to get a replacement sent from Sprint. Had to go to a corporate store and have a tech look at the phone and they agreed it was toast...
Luckily they didn't know it was due to my failed attempt to load an unsupported ROM.
Lesson learned... new phone should be in by the end of the week.
I'll be waiting for a supported ROM this time.

Oh man tell me about it, I almost stupidly went on to the CM9 nightlies and downloaded the I9300 version before I thought to myself, "well wait a minute, that's not my model number!"
Duh, shoulda had a V8.

I didnt install a GSM rom but still managed to brick somehow. Didnt touch any system files or do anything to where i should be bricked either. Any idea when a full stock Odin package will be made? My phone has been bricked for almost 2 days now
Edit: i started a tread here a few days ago -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731416 if anyone cares to look or has any advice for me

What have you tried so far? Have you tried reflashing cwm recovery in Odin?

I did the same thing that the OP said, flashed that omega rom and now my phone wont turn on either.
I was going to try the jig method

My phone got stuck booting, so I tried to install the omega rom. The install worked well, and I clicked "reboot." Now the phone won't turn on. I can't get to ODIN or recovery anymore.
Did you guys find any fixes?

What happened is that you flashed a rom that was meant for the international version of the S3 and your on the US version. The only fix I have found is to send it to mobiletechvideos.com. I did and they say they can fix it and maybe save my data I have on it ( I just sent it in)
My fingers are crossed for the data recovery but as far as the phone I am going to send it for a exchange anyway.

Welp, I'm sad to say I just did the same thing too. Should have read. I'm a stinkin noob at this. I installed the I9300 version on a US version phone. Has there been any more development on this? Is the hardware fried, or is there a fix through that mobiletechvideos.com that was mentioned? What was the outcome of that, Taygutta, if you don't mind me re-bringing back up a potentially painful topic?? This thread made me a little sick, since it's my brother's new phone (someone else that knew what they were doing rooted it for him but he didn't like the rom, so I thought I would help him find a few other options to try flashing.)
Anyway, any confirmation that I'm buying my brother a new phone (so I can emotionally prepare for the purchase) or are there some other options?

There's one more thing you can try. There's a little device called a USB Jig. It was made for SGS-2 to clear the yellow triangle and reset flash counts in ODIN mode. It also puts your phone in ODIN mode by simply plugging it into the USB port of a powered down phone. Once in ODIN mode, you can reflash a stock ROM, recovery, etc. You can buy these for around $20 or less on the web.
If this does not work, I'm afraid nothing will.
Good luck.

[Q] I think my S4 got bricked

Hi all,
from a big smile to sad face... that is how it's been for the past 24 hours
I rooted the phone then went to back up the stock rom after that wiped data, cache, dalvik then went on trying to instal Omega 4.0 and suddenly i got this message my external sd is unreadable. rebooted the phone and noticed that it takes me directly to the downloader screen. i tried to fix the phone by bringing it back to it's stock condition but no luck. I used Odin and so far it's the only thing the phone responds to but no luck with fixing it... I am trying to download the official stock fw hint this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267895
but it stops and never finishes the whole amount of data... this seems the only way for me revive my phone back to life!
any suggestions what should I do now? it stopped showing the downloader screen now since I flashed the kernel drive for the S4 through Odin and now shows the black screen with the "Samsung Galaxy S4" writing.
by the way it keeps telling me that my phone isn't rooted but I did root it! am using twrp recovery.
I just got the phone from t-mobile 2 days ago and am debating on returning the phone back to them as the phone is still bootable to the recovery and that might revoke my warranty "i guess?"
Is it possible just to walk in to t-mobile store and swap the phone with another one since it didn't pass the 2 weeks returning window? I also got the phone insurance for it.
Please help, I sure need my phone back in working condition...

Omega 4 is for the octa core so thats why your phone bricked. If you can grt into download mode odin the stock files. If you can get into recovery try flashing a rom made for the phone. Dont freak out just read read read and youll be fine.

ayeeee ppl trying to reach me over the phone and they can't because of this stupid brick! well stupid me because I didn't know that Omega is for Octa core phone version... Yeah I can get it to download mode and recovery mode but is it possible just flash the stock file from the recovery instead of odin? I am waiting for that stock fw download to finish hint it's on hotfile and going in turtle speed!

your bricked, im pretty sure flashing stock wont help you (hasnt from my past experience) but doesnt hurt to give it a try.
i dont think will just give you another one, even though its in the two week window, because its your fault and not the result of hardware failure. the age old "oh i updated and not it wont turn on" probably wont wort because there are little to none reports of that happening. plus (and this is me assuming, correct me if im wrong) but when in download mode it probably shows custom status, which auto voids any warranty. but once again, doesnt hurt to try.
Unfortunately, from my past experience, your SOL

If the phone turns on and has download and recovery you are not bricked....only soft brick and the odin file should work. Just be patient and wait for it to finish

Well if you want to flash CyanogenMod, make sure its for the m919. I'm kinda lost though, did you still want all the features that Touchwiz has like air gesture, motions etc? Or you don't care for those?

am not really decided about that, does it really matter? all i care about is the blazing speed, low battery consumption and for sure the freedom of moving all the apps to the extSD ...

I picked S4 over the HTC one just because the 1080p feature and the funny thing is that I missed on there is no HDMI port on this phone! lol no biggie
tell me more about the touchwiz kernel, is it worth it? I don't see many CRs out there at the moment

Well right now I don't think CM is as stable compared to a TW ROM. FYI there are a lot or ROMS as of now. You have Wicked, Infamous, Darth Stalker, Deathstar. There is also faux and ktoonez kernal available for TW. As for the extsd, you will need to format the card to fat32 for the phone to read it properly.

[Q] By this point, i just want my phone back...

Its 2:30 in the morning. Its been all day. I dont come to ask a question on XDA unless i literally cannot for the life of me find the answer anywhere else on the whole of google.
For me, whether someone can help me here will make or break me writing off android as the worst operating system ever made, and moving back to iPhone full time.
Ill cut it short. I've owned PLENTY of android devices. All rooted and rommed and modded to my hearts content. Recently traded my i5 for a Galaxy Note 2- i317 AT&T. Rooted first night and running jedi xp14 ever since. Loved it.
Earlier today im jamming to some music with my new Monster Inspirations that i got brand new for half off (great deal). Phone reboots. Comes back. It has a circle with a slash across it (cancel sign) where my signal used to be. Im looking through settings when it reboots again. I soon realize every set amount of time (about 87 seconds) it just crashes and reboots. Flash a different rom. No signal. Reboots. Go back to old rom. Same problem. Attempt clockworkmod restore. No md5sum (it says mismatch.... Clockworkmod recovery is the most POS, stupid, moronic recovery have ever witnessed in my life. the status 7 fails and no ability to say F**K IT, IDC about md5sum JUST FLASH IT BECAUSE THIS IS AN EMERGENCY is just plain ignorant development.) I cant restore. I cant flash a different rom. No one i know knows what to do. No one on the internet seems to have the same problem. I could lose my job if i dont have a fully functioning phone by tomorrow with email and call capabilities.
I have no idea how to use odin aside from when i rooted my note 2 as i cant actually find a guide for it. i have a mame0142.zip thats apparently a AT&T modem i can flash and might save the day. I have no idea how to use it. I'm expected to know everything about everything. No begnngers guides. Im also out of state, in Florida, and now without a phone. Luckily i have a laptop, so i might have a chance at this. This is actually an emergency. I literally cannot sleep tonight until i know my phone is going to be working tomorrow. If its not i'll be driving over it with my Beetle and going to buy an i5 because i can't wait. I need my phone for my job. Also i have a lot of respect for the people of XDA, but please don't call me stupid, tech illiterate, a sheep, or blind because i would rather switch to Apple then have my phone have a critical failure from listening to Mixzing.
I feel like flashing the stock At&T i317 Modem/ Radio will fix the problem. Anyone who knows wher ei can find that and then what to do with that once i get it would greatly be appreciated.
I've no idea what caused this or how to fix it. I really, really, really dont care what has to be done, but my phone NEEDS to work by tomorrow.I dont care what rom/kernel/ anything it has to run to get it back to working, because if i cant get it fixed it's just going right in the trash. ANY help would be appreciated. I really don't want to spend money right now.
Thank you for your time reading my problem.

Thanks, it's certainly better then nothing. If it works its good enough for me. I can always re-root it later. My phones so glitched it still may not work though. Ill update if this works or not. Thanks again.

Im not seeing anything here thats going to do anything for me aside from flash a stock rom, and its not going too smoothly either. Can you send me a link to the stock Modem/ Radio as well? it seems like thats the big issue.

Awesome, thank you. now, I havent seen a good thread on what exactly you do with a Modem, or at least not one for a beginner. Can i flash it from CWM same as a kernel or rom or is this something that needs special treatment on a computer or something?

That modem is CWM/TWRP flashable. A good check is normally to open up the zip if it has a META-INF its normally a CWM file. If it has a .pda ect its an odin file

Sir, in the name of all that is good and buttery, you have single handedly been more helpful then all of the internet today. My problem has been fixed, and i feel i owe you a beer. For now ill just hit thanks and go pass out, but rest assured that you have managed to save me from the grasp of Apple. Thanks! (Flashing the modem worked wonders.)

And please try not to judge android too harshly ...
The note 2 is an excellent device....and worthy of the credits it receives...
The beauty is it's simplicity....
After all ....you've managed to take a borked up device and flash the entire OS in minutes...
A feat that you couldn't dream of with apple...
Well done...and happy flashing...g
