I read something about not using a computer to root; but I could not find anything on getting back to stock without a computer (the question was posed on a few different sites).
My only thought would be to have someone on stock rom, to root and do a backup with CWM; then copy that backup folder off their phone to someplace you could download it using your phone (like google documents).
then you could boot to recovery and flash EXT42RFS.zip from :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109362
then use cwm to restore from that backup and it would put stock ec05 on your phone; seemingly back to stock except for the recovery.
thats what i was thinking also couldnt find a downloadable back up to put on to my phone if any one is willing to help me with a flashable backup for clockwork mod im using version 3.0.0.6 i think
Similar issue.
I am looking into a solution. Let me get right back at you.

that would be appriciated i kno alot of people having this issue would be nice to get a fix the more the better
As far as I know there is no way to unroot without a computer. However you can make it look like stock for the return. When you installed CWM 3.0.0.6 on your phone and it converted to EXT4 it made a nand backup called beforeEXT4conversion or something like that. Restore that nand and do a factory data reset from inside settings>privacy on your phone.

Who knows, that may also fix your phone to connect again. Does it make the connection noise on the computer? If so, go into Control Panel, System, Device Manager and look for something connected to your USB or Other. It will probably say Samsung Android. Choose Update Drivers on that and it will take about 10 minutes to get the drivers and install and you should be able to work from the computer again.

I just got a Odin 1.85 for Mac, but i cant see anybody talking about it. I want to use Odin instead of heimdall. I about to try it. Let me know if somebody has.
how did you install it?
isn't it an .exe file???
I thought Mac's/linux used something else like heidmal? Isn't there a thread in dev for them?
There is one that was made with some windows wrapping technique. I have it and its the latest 1.85 I installed and looks just like the windows one but scared of using it until I know of somebody who has done it. You can search it on google, I'm on my phone i can't post the link now
I downloaded it, installed fine, but in download mode it does not detect my phone. I will play more and see if I can get it to work.

Look at this thread, explains the whole process.

Ive seen that tutorial, but dont want to use Heimdall, Im on Lion and lots of people are having problems. Ill just keep using my windows pc, but i would rather use Odin on Mac.
I second that. I need to try using Odin via VMware Fusion just to see if it works that way. I really don't like having to get back on my windohs pc unless I have too. Hoping someone will get the bugs worked out of this version.
that's a good idea, I was thinking Parallels for mac. I tried using Virtualbox but its too limited ,it won't even see a thumb stick. Let me know if it works with VM.
I thought you had to use Heimdall on a Mac. I am no expert on the subject though

Anyone get Odin to run in VMWARE FUSION
Has anyone been able to use ODIN in Fusion. I'm trying to root and install clockworkmod on epic but Fusion does not see my phone in Download mode. If this doesn't work what are the options on a mac to root epic on gingerbread?
Only way I can use Odin on my Mac was to install Windows using Bootcamp. It now recognizes both my Razr and my gTablet.
You'll have to boot into Windows rather than using a virtual Windows session.

Good day everyone,
i own a galaxy note 2 n7100 and i did a factory reset after editing the build.prop to enable google sphere. Everything was working but my phone kept getting hot. I forgot to restore my build.prop while being rooted. Now everything is still working but i can't root my phone anymore. Neither odin/kies will detect my phone. Can anyone tell me how to restore my backup build.prop or how to enable odin to detect my phone. Any help would be appreciated.
Did you try the tool kit? Try flashing stock from it.
This PSA was sent Flow style from my Note 2 N-7100
On which rom are on?

I have not yet tried the toolkit but wil download it immediately. I will let you know if it works. i did not flash any roms btw.
hey guys,
just wanted to let you know that the toolkit worked. Just for the people who might have a similar problem....my pc was only able to detect the phone (using the toolkit) while installing the usb drivers with the phone CONNECTED to the pc. Otherwise it would not detect my phone.
Hi.
I'm reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539
which is very useful, trying to flash a stock ROM using Odin. My GT-N7100 is bricked, possibly with SDS. I'm on Mac OSX 10.8.4 and as far as i have read i need to download Odin 3.0.7 to my Mac (do they have a .dmg of this?). Samsung USB drivers to my Mac and the stock firmware from Sammobile.
The problem it is that everything is made for Windows. I'm seeing Samsung drivers in only Windows enviroment.
How can i flash using Odin on Mac OS X. Any links?
Thanks.
Another pal with SDS.
Hello there, Unfortunately I'm in the same boat as you. I'm on a Mac primarily but do have a windows desktop I can turn to when I come across windows only solutions as we have here. You can install a windows os using bootcamp or virtually through something like virtualbox on the Mac. For me though the windows route isn't getting anywhere. I don't think you have a full SDS situation where your phone is a complete brick like mine though. From your posts it sounds like you can at least get into download mode correct? If so you should be able to download the original 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 firmware for the Note II and flash via Odin. I wish I could at least try this step but as it is my phone is completely dead and won't boot at all. I'm trying to figure out how to submit a support request in the US right now which is proving very unsuccessful so far since we have the Galaxy Note International version (GT-N7100) which Samsung USA does not support in any way. I'm taking my phone to a local cell phone/tablet repair shop tomorrow to see if they can get anything accomplished. Good luck in your quest!
I have done more reading and have downloaded Heimdal 1.4- as well some random country GT-N7100 stock sammobile build .tar file (June- 4.1.2)
Please i need some incredibly generous person that might have an idea how i can flash a custom rom using Hemdal 1.4. My phone doesn't boot. I only have access to the "download mode". (No- recovery mode). I'm almost sure i have SDS (Sudden Death Syndrome) and i'm using OSX and my only choice is to try to flash the Note II with Heimdral.
Check if this helps

Did anybody tested Heimdall ?
You can find it in mac softpedia, and it's an Odin equivalent..

Something went really ****ed when I tried to flash CM 10 on to my GS4 using Heimdall front end (1.4). Took it back to the store and they said they had never seen one fully "bricked like that"...
What steps did you follow if you dont mind? Explain like I'm 5 - they won't replace another phone for me haha

You don't use heimdall to flash cyanogenmod. You use it to flash the recovery, then you root from the recovery and then you flash cyanogenmod from the recovery.

No hiccups, i just installed everything recommended. No special anything. And run odin as administrator. I probably flashed over 70 times already with 0 hiccups.

Http://jodin3.casual-dev.com is Odin for Mac. Because of limitations to Heimdall, I don't recommend flashing large files though. Its awesome for CF-Auto-Root and TWRP though.

hey can you still get where you can factory reset. because i bricked my phone trying to root it, and all i did is flashed the the stock firmware on it and it worked it again.
Hello,
I previously rooted my S4 Mini I9195 using the instructions on this site (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980). However, I recently upgraded my S4 Mini's software to Android 4.3 to enable 4G connection on my network and now my phone is no longer rooted.
The instructions don't seem to provide a Mac option anymore (or I at least don't recall how I managed to do it before!) and I can't find much information anywhere. I've seen some recommendations for Heimdall, but that just crashes every time I open it.
Does anyone know a way to root the S4 Mini on a Mac? Ideally in steps that make it easy for a novice...
Thanks in advance!

you can try www.towelroot.com apk download with clicking on the logo
Thanks, but that only works with 4.4 unfortunately. And software update OTA and via Kies only lets me upgrade to 4.2 (not 4.3, as I erroneously stated earlier).
You could try using JOdin which is like Odin for Mac
https://builds.casual-dev.com/jodin3/
Hope it helps
I've tried that one, but unfortunately it incorporates Heimdall which just crashes every time I attempt to use it. I've tried removing Kies and all Samsung drivers, but Heimdall still refuses to work, even via JOdin. Thanks though!
