I need some guidance.
I rooted my wife's phone when she first got it a couple of years ago and it hasn't really received many updates since then. Lately she's been saying that the phone is sluggish. I was thinking about unrooting and just doing a factory reset and going back to stock.
I need guidance on how to unroot and go back to stock having the following systemn info:
Model: SPH-L900
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: L900VPAMC2
Kernel version: 3.0.31-903705

I have watched the videos using Odin and a tar file. I downloaded Odin but I have no idea what tar file to use with my baseband version.
Thanks for your help.

So I take it if you are in this section of the forum you are using a SPRINT Galaxy Note II which has the model number SPH-L900. Before you follow any of my advice, please check under "settings" "about this device" to make sure that is the case.
I recently unrooted my phone to upgrade to KitKat, and that video has correct instructions, but one link is broken, which is the tar file for the OS. Just go to samsung-updates and search for that model (SPH-L900) number and download the file (be warned, the file download is excruciatingly slow), then load that file into odin. The version you want should be "L900VPUCNE2". Download that, apply it with Odin, and your phone should go to KitKat and be unrooted.
Again, be careful, back up your data and so on, because I'm not in your shoes and its possible to brick your device doing it.
Yes I do have the Sprint version that you reference.
Do you know the link to the video that you used? Since she's been rooted I never updated her firmware so she's still on 4.1.2, might be cool to update her to kit kat.

Hi all,
I tried to unroot using odin. Everything went fine, the phone appears to be working correctly, no issues so far.
I wanted to get the phone unlocked for a trip to Euroope. Well when I called, Tmobile said they still couldn't locate the phone, and that I still have an unofficial build.
I'm on build IML74K.UVLE1.
Kernel is [email protected] #1 SMP preempt Sun May 6 15:07:07 KST 2012
baseband version is T989UVLE1
Running Android 4.0.3
On the down side, when I try to update in the systems menu, it says there is no firmware, so not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Worse comes to worst, I'll just reroot and just work over wifi over there, but I'd prefer to be able to unlock the damn thing first.
Any thoughts here?
______________
Ok, so I went back and using odin I flashed the gingerbread tar.md5 file found in KK's thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513359&highlight=reset
That worked like a charm. Although, as an aside, I found that the enter button in the gingerbreak stock recovery is actually the home button, not the lock button. That threw me for a fright for about fifteen seconds, until I figured it out.
Anyway, all is good to go now. I'm waiting on the unlock code in my email right now.

first of all, why are they even asking you about your firmware for an unlock code? That doesn't play a part in any way, shape or form...
second, I would redownload the tar/md5 for stock ics and try to reflash it initially, but in reality it shouldn't make a difference if you were on 1.5 or 4.1 the unlock code is based on your imei (for them). Just my thoughts though
Hi everyone, new android user here! I'll try to make this as brief as possible:
Recently purchased a used Unlocked Galaxy S3.
Currently using Bell Carrier on it and it works fine.
I noticed that even after restoring SuperSU was installed.
Checked download mode -> odin installed with custom binary
Checked to see if the phone has root access -> it does not
I wanted to try and flash it with a official ROM to completely restore factory settings but I don't know what the original carrier is so I don't know what ROM to download. I called a couple carriers but they have no record of the IMEI.
I'm fairly new to android and my past two days of google searching hasn't accomplished anything relative to my problem (although I know a lot more about the rooting community!) so I thought I'd ask here.
Is there any way to know what's going on here?
Can I restore the phone to factory firmware/ROM/etc.?
Here is some phone information:
Model: SGH-I747M
Android Version: 4.1.1
Baseband: I747MVLDLK4
Kernel: 3.0.31-538866
Build Number: JRO03L.I747MVLDLK4
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Just go and download this program http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
Go to Tools > Firmware Install and Initialization
It will ask you for your model number and Serial number. It will use those to determine what stock ROM is correct for your phone.
It will then flash you to stock, just as Odin would, including the stock recovery.

It definitely looks like you are on the stock Jelly Bean firmware from Samsung. I747M is the Canadian model (747 is ATT). Your build number also looks to be the stock 4.1.1 based on the DLK4 build number! Just as the last guy said, grab kies or use Odin to go back to complete stock if you are not happy with what you have now. If your phone is showing custom binary flashes and you want to get rid of that, give Triangle Away a try! Good luck. :good:

Thank you! That worked like a charm! The device is now in a "normal" state and the binaries are "official".

Thanks for the advice! I'm not too concerned about the flash count, that's only really important your warranty to to be valid, right? But I'll look into it, it may be worth it anyway.
Thanks again everyone!
Hello,
My wife broke her iphone 4s so she bought this samsung galaxy nexus off of someone on facebook. The phone is working fine but there are just some little things that are kinda annoying. The phone doesn't have the factory text messaging app and it doesn't show up even after we did a factory reset. So we were kinda just dealing with that, but when we tried to do the verison backup assistance and it wasn't on the phone and we couldn't find it on the app store I called verizon and they said it was supposed to be in the factory software and there is no way to download it. So I asked what the phones info was supposed to be and this is what she said.
build number: JDQ39
Baseband version: I151.10 V.FK01 / I515.FK02
kernel version: 3.0.31-g9f818de
This is what the phone currently is
build number: KOT49E
Baseband version: I151.10 V.FK01 / I515.FK02
Kernel version: 3.0.72-ShinyROM-g7a04904 [email protected] #5
I just want to put it back to factory and from what I've read all I need to do is download the tool kit and it will restore it to factory software and unroot it?
Also since she had an iphone before she has had problems with people with iphones replying to her text messages. We already got on her iphone and shut the imessages off. is there anything else we are suppose to do?
Thank you in advance for all the help

Try the Nexus Root Toolkit. There is a flash stock and Unroot bitton that will do it for you.
As for the Iphone, I've heard that it can take up to a day for the messages to stop routing through iMessage. Has it been that long for you?
Hello, first of all my phone details are:
Phone-Details
Android-Version: 2.3.6
Name: Samsung Galaxy Ace 2
Model: GT-I1860
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XXLI2
Kernel-Version: 2.6.35.7-I8160XXLD8-CL1100997 [email protected] #2 SMP PREEMPT Tue Apr 24 05:35:29 KST 2012
Rooted: Yes
and what I'd like to do is updating the firmware to the latest possible version (eventually 4.1.2)
(I would like to keep root-access)
What I tried is:
* Updating the firmware by the normal update-notification of my phone
* Updating the firmware by the normal update-notification of my phone after a hard reset
Maybe some of these things work (if so, please also explain how):
* Resetting root, installing the firmware update, rooting again (idk how)
* Updating the firmware via PC (using a firmware from: live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I8160) (idk how / which tools to use for this)
----
It would be great if you could help me out with this. I haven't found any truly useable post on how to achieve this.
Anyone ?
[Solved]
Ok, well I solved it. Here's what worked:
After hard reset and SuperSU's unroot I connected the phone to my PC. Then with Kies (samsung.com/de/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/) I was able to update the Firmware to 4.1.2.
After doings so I could root again using this tutorial: ibtimes.co.uk/galaxy-ace2-root-official-android412-i8160xxmf2-jellybean-491401
First time I tried to update the Firmware with Kies it didn't work (as far as I recall it didn't show an error message either).
Please set this thread to solved and/or closed if possible.
I was going to use CS-Auto-Root but just had a couple questions. After reviving the tablet today, I did numerous updates. Would CF root still work with the new software? The only thing diffrent I can see is the build numberm does that matter? Details below, and thanks!
Model #: SM-T700
Android Version: 4.4.2
Build number: KOT49H.T700XXU1ANK2

Numerous updstes? Anyways, try it, if it soft brivks your Tab S, just flash the stock firmware with Odin.
It shouldn't soft brick it most likely. If it fails it will just revert back to stock recovery and not give you root. Try cfautoroot first then try rooting with twrp.
