[Q] Can you unroot without using a PC?

I'm new and I hope I'm not posting this in the wrong place or re-posting an old question, but I have been searching on this and other sites for days and haven't been able to find anything pertaining to my question, so sorry in advance If I'm not posting this correctly.
I have a rooted epic touch with rogue boot loader installed and UnNamed rom installed. I really liked the way it was running until I had some kind of malfunction happened and now the battery charge light won't shut off and the battery drains within a couple hours of standby time. the phone is only a couple months old and would like to take it to the sprint store as I'm assuming this is an obvious hardware issue. My problem is that my pc doesn't recognize my phone anymore so I can't flash back to stock and get rid of root, voiding my warranty. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling kies and stand alone drivers multiple times with no avail. I've tried with the battery and sd card removed and have also tried on multiple pc's (2 win7 and and xp machine). every time it says the drivers weren't installed successfully and to replace the device being connected.
My question: Is there a way to revert to stock off of the internal memory of the phone? I know there are zip roms you can flash from the boot loader but I was wondering if there was a way to flash a rom from zip and install the original boot loader as well as get rid of root? Any help I can get would be extremely appreciated and again I apologize if I am wasting anyone's time by asking in the wrong place or re-asking a question.

Ok so I downloaded the Calkin's_Stock_Rooted_EK02_ROM_v1.0 and got it on my sd card via dropbox. Flashed and now have a stock rom on it which I think is a step in the right direction.
The only thing is now I have clockwork boot loader and still rooted. and still not recognizing on pc. anyone know of an unrooted zip with original boot loader?

I couldn't get my PC to recognize either of my 2 E4GT's, each due to a different reason, both issues were resolved by going through each step in sfhub's debugging checklist:

This post is for the FAQ section:
Why is the install stuck waiting for device to be connected?
Your phone isn't being recognized by your PC as an Android device.
When the drivers are installed and the phone is properly recognized, you should see the following in start->run->devmgmt.msc
Code:
Android Phone
SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface
Modem
SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem
Until you get the SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface to show up, neither ADB nor this script will work.
Here is a debugging checklist:
1) dial ##UPST# (##8778#) in the dialer and verify AP (or ALL) is checked (if CP is checked, phone won't be recognized as an Android device)
2) restart the ADB server (choose Option G to stop the server, it'll get started automatically by the script)
3) verify USB Debugging is ENABLED
4) verify USB drivers are installed (Win7-64bit see below)
5) try a different usb cable
If you are in Win7-64bit try changing the default install location for the drivers:
If you see an error like this:
Try running the CMD prompt (or e4gtauto-sfx.exe) as Administrator. Right-click on the CMD icon (or e4gtauto-sfx.exe) and select "Run As", then select Administrator.
If that doesn't work, try disabling windows firewall.

I went down that list and everything seemed to be in order but still no recognition by pc. I kept uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and switching usb ports and it finally installed the drivers successfully long enough for odin to recognize it and to flash back to stock. As soon as it was done the machine stopped recognizing it again. Lucky break I guess. So I can now return it to sprint and deal with the hardware issue.
I would still like to find a zip file like the tar that I flashed that installs stock recovery and non rooted ek02 rom and kernel from cwm, if that's even possible.
Thanks Godswrath, for helping me out.

You could use wifi explorer to get files on to sd card and mobile Odin to flash the tar file back to stock....

Lol....I am a noob.
They make a mobile Odin? That would have saved my like 4 hours....

Phone not recognized by PC after root (but still rooted)

So here's the story:
1) Phone worked flawlessly before root. Did an OTA to stock 4.1.1
2) Flashed CWM with Odin v1.85 --> removed battery --> worked without issues
3) Applied SuperSU v0.87 and this didn't go without issue. While in CWM before the reboot, there was some extra prompt (I have rooted a S3 before and did not receive the prompt) however I cycled too fast and I don't think I hit the right option. The phone rebooted anyway and I had root so I didn't think anything of it.
4) Wanted to add files to my SDcard a couple of days later and the phone didn't show up in My Computer (yes USB debugging is enabled, tried all USB ports, changed cables, uninstalled and reinstalled Samsung drivers, I've never used Kies to do anything with my phone - disabled it from the start)
I thought I should revert to stock and start over so I booted into recovery and CWM wasn't there anymore but I still had SU access. I installed Mobile Odin and placed CWM (the .tar file) on my internal (Placed on SDcard --> moved with My files to internal) and flashed CWM and while I didn't see any errors, now I'm data wiped/factory reset but I still can't boot into CWM, I still have SU, and my phone is still not recognized by my computer.
Anyway for me to fix this issue?

Reload the samsung drivers on the computer and boot into download mode. After loading the root66 version via odin download Rom manager from the store and load cwm.

Sorry OP but I does anyone know a way to connect to a PC without install the samsung drivers? I'm asking because I don't have permission to install anything to my computer at work. I've tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711009
and this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...9pZC5tdWx0aW1vdW50c2RjYXJkLndpZGdldC5mcmVlIl0.
but still no go. They all treated my SD Card as CD drive which can read only. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply and I apologize if I wasn't clear but I was attempting to use Mobile Odin (my first time) because my phone was not being recognized by my PC and thus desktop Odin wasn't working either (even after reinstalling drivers and booting in download mode which I tried before posting).
However, I did find the answer eventually. If people have problems losing CWM after root, the error I made was not extracting the image file from the .tar before flashing with Mobile Odin. I eventually returned to stock but that didn't solve my PC not recognizing my device until I found this:
1. Uninstall any previous instance of Kies/USB driver
2. Download the latest Kies, specific to your S3.
3. Download Samsung USB drivers 1.4.6.0 (I've tried newer versions but they all failed)
4. REBOOT
5. Disconnect from internet (VERY IMPORTANT!!! - forcing Windows to install local drivers ONLY)
6. With the phone disconnected, install Kies + USB drivers downloaded in steps 2,3
7. Connect the phone and let Windows install the drivers.
8. Reestablish the internet connection.

I didn't bother with Kies and obviously used the latest Samsung USB drivers. Problem solved!

Perfect.
Sorry if I sounded a little short. I am glad you found the solution.

Probably best if you ask in your devices forum if you think it had to do with how you rooted. They'll be more familiar with it and any problems that can occur.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7582
The only thing I can say is to uninstall kies, install standalone USB drivers (try both the latest and the older version released for your device on Samsung's site), reboot pc and phone and try to connect again.
Good luck!

[Q] Need some help.

I wanted a fresh start on my SG3, so I formatted my entire phone including the sdcard. Now my phone doesn't have a OS installed and my sdcard doesn't have any rom on it. I thought of just taking my sdcard out and using a sdcard reader to transfer a rom. But I couldn't find my ultra sdcard reader. I found a solution using adb in the "Samsung GS3 Toolkit" to transfer files. But I needed to install the phone drivers, now here's the problem. I can't seem to install the MTP driver without fully booted into android.
Could anyone give me some advice or point me in the right direction? Thank you.

Install samsung Kies on your pc to obtain the drivers. Then boot your phone into download mode and flash a stock image. I have a step by step guide in the general section for this.

You don't need to connect your phone to Kies. Just download Kies to your computer to get the correct drivers onto your computer. After that, use Odin to flash a factory tar image.
Hold Vol Down, home and power to get into download mode.

Help son's New Tablet

Hi Guys,
Bought a used but like new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 wi-fi (SM-T310) for my boy.
It's installed with latest stock firmware (T310XXUBNH3) and I need some guidance to root it.
I do not to mess around with the kid’s tablet, I just want to root it, so to be able to uninstall all system apps and do other simple stuff.
I have searched Google and what I found, is that root has to be through ODIN.
I have downloaded the files (ODIN and Root) and when I put the tablet in download mode Odin does not recognize it.
I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro and I noticed that in Device Manager, it’s showing as unknown device. When I try to update the driver only gives me the option to install it as a samsung modem usb, but even after that, keeps showing as unknown.
I have Kies installed and the drivers, supposedly installed, since with the tablet connected, the computer recognizes it immediately.
My problem is then the Download Mode, I’m positive because its missing the correct drivers.
I have also tried to switch cables, very dumb I know, but I had to try.
So my questions are:
1. where can I find the correct drivers for Download Mode?
2. Is there any other and simple way of rooting this baby?
Thanks guys

Download THIS.
Extract and run the UniversalADBDrivers file. That will install ADB drivers. Ensure that you have enabled USB debugging under the Developer Options in settings on the tablet. If you don't see the Developer Options, tap the "build number" 10-12 times to enable it.
If it still doesn't work, you will need to ffnd a Windows 7 or XP computer.

fantastic!
thats worked like a gem.
thanks a lot m8

Device is not recognised by ADB/Fastboot

My device was rooted with the old method and I accidentally did an OTA update, so it's bricked right now.
I've tried to flash the pre-rooted system image, but I can't do that if my phone doesn't show up on fastboot, adb or device manager. I've tried connecting to every USB port, in the bootloader, the recovery as well as the normal boot screen (which the phone can't get past).
I've also tried installing the Intel Android drivers through the .exe file, I would do it manually but I don't think I can do that unless Device Manager detects my phone in the first place.
Is there something I'm missing here?
