Hello guys. this is the first time i have ever posted on a forum and i really need help. i have rooted my samsung epic 4g with the samsung one click lag fix and ran titanium backup and installed titanium backups busybox. i backed up then deleted amazon mp3, email 2.1, facebook, asphalt5, sprint nascar, sprint football, media hub, task manager 2.1, sprint hotspot, SNSAccount 1.0, y!finance clock, and sprint zone. first problem is i cant reinstall these items that are necessary to do the MR 2.5 DI18 system update from titanium backup, and a factory reset does not restore these items either. so i was going to unroot the epic and it will not unroot either. it will not unroot with the one click lag fix unroot method or another one click unroot tool i downloaded. so i guess my question is, how do i restore these stock sprint apps and unroot my epic 4g? any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks for reading!
Hi
Can you tell me the steps u followed to root the epic. I wanna play with it for some time....
Mithun
sure. there is a youtube video that just got posted a while ago that used almost the exact same steps as i did. go t oyoutube and type in root samsung epic. it is the video that is 7:07 long. the steps he took are almost identical to my own. so close in fact that i cant remember where they differ. then i proceeded to install titanium backup and backed up EVERY app on my phone including sprints bloatware like sprint football nascar and sprint zone. then i uninstalled all of them through titanium backup and now cannot restore them for the di18 update. i tried to use the unroot tool in the root pack .rar file and it just came up with an error message. if you have any other questions please ask, and if your trying to help me i REALLY appreciate it. the di18 update has a few bug fixes i reay want. any info or other questions that need an immediate response can be emailed to [email protected] thanks for your help everyone
ok guys. i found out i can flash the stock rom with odin. i found another post here on xda developers on how to do it. so thanks everyone for all your help and thanks to everyone that made odin and contributed to development! you guys rock. and if i had more money i would totally buy you all a beer.
I rooted my Samsung Epic last Friday using the one.click.root.exploitv2.3.0. Then installed Wifi Tether and launched it. Everything worked great. I was able to connect my laptop and browse just fine. I need the feature this weekend for an event so tonight I tried to launch Wifi Tether and it would not launch. I reinstalled with no success...error was "could not start tethering". I decided to install Barnacle Wifi. Got it installed and when I tried to launch it the app told me I needed su access and access was denied. I have the Superuser icon in my apps and it loads.
So I attached the phone to my pc and tried to unroot using one.click.stock.flasher.&root.uninstaller-di18. When I follow the steps the command prompt hangs. I check adb devices and the device is shown but nothing happens. So I tried the sdk tools option to unroot manually. First step is to type adb shell. I did that and nothing happens. I have the phone in USB Debugging mode. If I unplug the phone the command prompt then shows error: protocol fault <no status>.
I need to find out why I don't have su access anymore. I can't get to the point of typing su in the command prompt window to verify...everything hangs. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated as I need to get my tethering fixed.
Thanks

I'm a little lost when it comes to this stuff. I am unable to unroot my Samsung Epic also. Did flashing the stock rom with odin allow you to unroot it? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I am trying to unroot my Epic so I can take it back and am getting close to my 30 day return window.
I followed some youtube video to root it and it all seemed to work fine (I don't remember exactly what one I followed). But I am now unable to unrroot. I have tried a couple different sets of instructions and nothing works. I have even tried doing a restore and that didn't do either.

Hello!
I did something really stupid. I rooted my Vibrant, and all was super easy and fine, but my home button was being unresponsive so without thinking enough did a reset on my phone. I wanted to make sure I covered my bases so I downloaded Titanium Backup and "backed up" all of the important things....call log, contacts, browser history, etc. etc. then did the master reset, but I don't think it worked. So now that I have done the reset it gives me force close messages on all of the main functions of the phone....dialer, web, you name it. Plus my home button still isn't working :/
So, the way I see it I have two options; risk sending the phone back to t-mobile under the guise of the home button issue....and maybe pay dearly for it (Superuser is still in the apps)
OR....
Hope and pray in the power of the XDA Gods, at least in order to get this to the workable category.
Thanks for any advice!
Are you able to get to the "Terminal Emulator" without it FCing?
You could boot into Clockwork Recovery and flash eugene's STOCK rom to see if that fixes anything.
hmmm, there's only the superuser and then the preinstalled apps. i did the one click root, so maybe that was missing the terminal app?

No its not missing, the "one click" just does rooting for you. You have go to into the market and download the application "Terminal emulator," if you're able to get that then you can unroot yourself and exchange your phone without T-Mobile ever finding out that you rooted. Or you could try flashing a stock ROM with Clockwork Recovery
got it! unfortunately though, every time i click market i get the force close :/ Meanwhile, I downloaded the clockwork recovery, but I'm definitely new to this, so where would I wanna go from there?
Thanks a lot by the way

Get Terminal Emulator as well; where do you want to go from now? You want to try to troubleshoot this problem or just unroot the phone and exchange it
Edit: Figure ill just make it easier.
If you want to troubleshoot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7329357&postcount=2 is what you're looking for. Follow those instructions and your problems will most likely go away.
To unroot
Code:
su
rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm -r /system/xbin/busybox
rm -r /system/bin/su
Also remove apps that require root access.
Either one will do the trick. I would go with troubleshooting, the directions are simple. If it doesn't work then.. unroot and make sure that all the bloatware is there + no root applications so they wont be able to tell.
Here dude. It seems you can not download terminal emulator from the market, so here it is with the root file for good measure. Only thing is I hope you have a way to download it and get it to your phone. Gl, and let me know if you need any more help.
Just making sure we're on the same page.....so you meant to install clockwork on my computer right?
My market FC's every time i try to go in there.
Any way that I can at least get this guy to fly in under the warranty inspection radar and be functional is the way I'm wanting to go. should i attempt to load the files from the clockwork program into my phone? Sorry I'm so fuzzy on this.

If you can follow directions good, this post should solve your problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747634&page=2
Hey bro, here is a simple fix.
Download ROM Manager which I attached below and install it. Within ROM Manager you will have a option to install Clockwork, so go ahead and install in through ROM Manager. ( Clockwork gets installed on your device ). Then follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740077 to download a stock Vibrant Rom. Follow the instructions on how to install the ROM, and you should be good.

Ok, so I accidently tapped forget for the "unknown" in super permissions and now when I try to type su in adb shell it says access denied. Any help?
I ve tried about 4 imulaters none will open.then I thought I had found the aswers to one of my issues, getting terminal imulator to work. But after ive installation and reboot just for good measure. I get the message that I cant install apps connected to the market. Im thinking maybe I should try unrooting and resetting the imei. Is there another way?
if youre getting a lot of fc errors, then odin back to JFD. make sure to use the .pit and .tar files. you'll be on official stock. then you can root/ update to official. anyway, its never a bad idea to go back to complete stock after major errors.
I tried this emulater su removal thing but it said that none of those fials exist. I am clearly rooted with su. Could it have something to do with my 17 digit imei cant seem toswitch back?
No and you seem to be pretty clueless to what they are suggesting you do. The easiest way to fix most problems with FC. Are using Odin to flash the OS back to stock. Several guides in the bible. Look under android development for the vibrant bible.
Maybe I should elaborate my issues so I dont seem so clueless, I dont have sync! I have tried kies, and odin but does didly squat w/o sync.
I dont have market access or OTA support. I just got back terminal after about 15 tries.
So im basically try to see which I get first; unrooted or stock reset. All of which seem to have some OTA necesity unless I can find a complete APK or termina access deal. Yea im a noob to
If your going to do anything to your phone such as rooting you need to download odin. There is a tutorial in the dev section under the vibrant bibal. Odin will restore your phone back to stock like it was out of the box. There are plenty of ppl willing to help on these forums so if you run into problems just ask. Every time I thought I screwed up my phone odin has saved my life.

I struggled like I was trying to last a long time with my first encounter with my first girlfriend. I tried all kind of techniques thinking of rooting while I was in the act, side loading my attention, direct adb insertion, and many times I would make it through to or three steps only to be rejected by her.
I finally found, what I believe to be the best and easiest method of rooting and unbranding. I don't know who could mess this up, although try at your own risk.
this is only instructions on how I rooted, I take no credit for the applications and resources
I downloaded the file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907
ran only step one in boot mode, this only needs the seus drivers, no other drivers needed.
go onto boot load and quickly start step one. when it is done, reboot, set up, go to settings applications and check of unknown sources. Now grab the one click root apk found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7913568&postcount=338.
put the apk in a folder on your sd card, use any explorer to go to the apk and click, install, presto you are now rooted. Don't forget to get superuser from the market.
If you have trouble getting internet data, just go to wireless controls, mobile networks, auto internet settings.
Hope this helps the tons of people that get stuck rooting like I did.
Not at home, can't try it.

If you're just rooting all you need is the app, if you're debranding run step 1 in flash mode, but you then need to then run SEUS to update the software. If you wanna do both do the above in reverse order.

dude you've got serious issues. anyways glad that it worked for you but to be honest, WTF???
I bought GT-I9000M, Froyo, 4 days ago, brand new unlocked from store. I had a problem getting GPS to work. Searching for a fix on the web, I got inundated with all kind of info,. Not only on GPS fixes, but on comparing, updating, rooting, flashing, unlocking, APP's and other issues with my Galaxy s. So, after reading quite a bit, I decided to update or flash my phone to the latest (assuming that will solve GPS problem and all other issues). As a newbie to Android software which I was about to temper with, I selected androidadvices.com to guide me. I had read very carefully and I followed instructions meticulously to flash 2.3.4 XXJVP. but it did not work. then the phone did not start and I got the little mobile and pc with triangle in between sign. I still could get to download mode. I tried to repeat the process many times, but got same results. it halted after it started to load bin file. I consulted the so called expert at androidadvices if the I9000M differs from I9000 and if could that be the reason for what happened. HE did replied promptly "YES" and advised to take it to service center. I searched a little more on the web with other language and I found a tip about omitting pit file (using Odin). Tip worked fine and flashed to XXJVP. Please do not congratulate me yet. Now the phone starts showing I9000. I did not only lose M, but it is network locked. Getting back to the so called expert to ask him if it's a good idea to upgrade or rooting (as he described in his instructions) to 2.3.4 XXJVQ to solve the problem. Also I meant to publish what happened on his site to save other newbies from believing what he writes. And his answer was "YES" again. Now I know the trick how to use Odin by omitting pit file, I did flashed to XXJVQ. Unfortunately, the galaxy s still locked. By that time, with no search, I already know that XDA forum from their tens of Youtube videos and links on every galaxy s site for their unlocking techniques. I'm sorry I'm trying to make this story short, but I can't for I won't feel well if someone trying to help asks me "did you do that?". However I tried everything I could, using Generate Unlock and SIM less methods, on XDA to unlock, yet no luck. I logged on a site I do not recall the address and up loaded the nv_data.bin.orig and entered 8 digits twice for unlock and unfreeze. I got back the message "the file is smaller than it should". the file was 4MB. I paid for unlock code from unlock-freedom.com 2 days ago, which promised to send code within 12-24Hrs. Yes the store I bought it from is finally open today. I went there and he plugged it to laptop hooked to USB unlocking device. He tried many time and ending with the message unlocking successful on the unlocking app. Yes you got it, the Galaxy s I9000 previously I9000M still locked. On the bright side.I have Gingerbread 2.3.4 XXJPQ installed and if I dismiss unlocking screen I can log in my email. Any help from a real Expert!!!!! will the unlock code, if I receive it, solve the problem. will I ever have my new phone working again????

Ok that was pretty long and slightly confusing. But I think you lost your unlock yes? Have you tried Helroz's Galaxy S Unlock app from the market?
Thank you for replying, I'll be more than delighted to clear your confusion. The answer I coulld not try Helroz's for it's like some other methods require to gain access to efs folder. I don't have folder named efs. and the only file I found browsing internal sdcard whether through PC or Myfiles icon on mobile was nv_data.bin.org with another file called devicefriendlyname.txt with rest of regular folders like sovx and android. all under: /mnt/sdcard as it shows in the phone.

No Way I think you chould replace your TW launcher with your TV guide and look for the cable guy movie
I have a problem here installed busybox and ran it to get the following;
Root not found!
the su binary was not found on your phone. this application will not work since your phone is not rooted
Then I press OK to get:
Status: looking for Busybox....
Your phone is not rooted
you used root explorer ?? so you must be rooted
i tried restoring app with titanium and it said i wasnt rooted so i rebooted and then it worked
try that and if not then try the super one click root method
Ready to donate and hit many thanks
Yes it's me again. still trying.
can anyone write happy ending to this endless story. but please consider I'm A NOOB not anything less than that. meaning I'm not familiar with most of terms and expressions you are using here.
However, if you are following this annoying story from beginning, I'm facing a dead end again, but i know there is great hope considering the following:
I have decided to start clean so I followed instruction in this thread (NOOB GUIDE: HOW TO ROOT/ODIN/FLASH/RECOVER ** 04/28/11 W/ Videos **).
I did every thing as it should be I believe, but I'm stock half way. Phone now flashed to stock T959UJFD (I'm glad now I can say that since I know what stock means) but shuts down as soon as I plug USB cable???????
I have update.zip file on internal SD not the 2GB external.
Also have the Rom of my choice zip file (Trigger 3.2) on internal SD.
Oh I also have SuperOneClick. And Odin 1.7
tried too many things like flashing without reparation or without reboot. tried also to flash some 2.3 Rom versions. and they do work well as I saw. Only one main problem I can't root the phone (meaning I can't see efs folder to unlock phone) which what I have to do since I locked it while trying to fix GPS, in case you are not following from the start.
I also have a very light nice functional stable Arabic Persian Rom. as a matter of fact, I do not know how, but with this version of Rom the phone was able to receive calls and sms. half locked
Thank you Kyle for trying and I believe I have to hit the thanks button for you
I'd really appreciate any help to end this rather entertaining story.
dont know why it goes off when usb gets plugged in :s
you cant root rooting means you can flash custom roms which you've done ?? so you must be rooted ??
and you dont need odin or super one click on your sd (if thats what you meant)
but trying to fix gps locked it as in only open to 1 network/carrier ?? (whatever it's called where you are)

Hi, i followed both the walkthroughs on theunlockr, and the one click rooting toolkit provided on this website. I have my phone unlocked (in pink) and tampered (in black). I have superuser on my phone in the app list, but i am unable to use a wifi tethering app. Barnacle is giving me an error saying it requires 'su' access.

What SU app do you have? You should be prompted by it when an app needs root access.
Before helping you further, stock rom or custom?
Stock Rom. I used amon ra. Superuser shows a blank list . When I load my phone it bootloader mode I have a black menu with touchscreen capabilities. I think its TWRP or whatever it is called. Should I try following the steps to root my phone One more time?

I highly recommend flashing a stock rooted rom. The viral rom's are nice, but if you want to keep it stock, micromod makes a "Superstock" rom, and installing that rom and it's kernel will give you a turn key setup with the proper binaries installed.
Send me a PM if you would like me to help you out with it, I have a lil while here at the office that I could help you. I'm a noob compared to snuzzo so he might give you easier different advice, but I'm more than willing to help you set it up if you want to go with the above route.
It will involve flashing a file on your phone, and then running a command while it's connected to the computer, to flash the boot.img that matches the rom.
Use the wireless tether app once the root issue is taken care of https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether&hl=en
but first before starting tethering, when you open the app, press menu and choose settings. Change the device profile to HTC Rezound, the setup method to net d master or net d ndc master and then scroll down further and you'll see a box to check for "Enable Routing Fix"

Hello there. So here is my problem. I tried to root my note tab(8.0 gt-n5110 on kit kat) using odin and it was unsuccessful. Ive deduced that there is no official root for the 8.0.... I could be wrong but I'm pretty. Idk jew to this whole thing..... anyhow... unsuccessful root.... and I cant figure out how to un root and I cant find any spcific/clear instructions on how to fix this for my exact model(too afraid to follow steps for diff note models) SuperSu is installed but whenever I try to open it it says the app has stopped. I no longer wish to root even id it is possible. I just want to go back to normal.... if someone could reply with a clear step by step on how to fix this I woild be in your debt. Thanj you
Why give up on root just because the first time didn't work? But anyway, unless you modified the recovery, the SuperSU app being installed doesn't change or hurt anything. You might just go to the Play Store and see if you can update the app. Depending on which method you used you can just uninstall it via the Application Manager in Settings or the Play Store. If it was installed as a system app then you can just disable it via the Application Manager and no harm done. If you really need to restock (you don't) then this would be a guide:

Thank you got your prompt response. The answer to your question about why not try root again.... I work in market research and I sometimes do product testing so I will have to eventually give this back one day so I just don't want to risk it. Also after attempting the root my tablet started like flickering and not staying on for to long unless attached to charger and then when that finally stopped I went to open Google chtome app and got a page saying something to the affect that Google was being hacked into our something like that and totally freaked me out so in this instance not worth it for Me. I have had a rooted android device (galaxy s4) and I do love all the mods and endless benefits to root so I do understand why you would question. Again I thank you and I'm going to be trying out your suggestions here in just a moment.
