[Q] how do i unroot my phone? - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i used the guide for the unbricking the fascinate and the files that came along with it. the files were I used dl09.tar.md5 and atlas pit 2.2. odin 1.7 and even 1.3. I checked all the right boxes and even checked the hash. when i boot up, however, it takes me back to the original samsung's recovery and thats it. what am i doing wrong? am i using the wrong image?

There is a post some where containing an all in one stock di01 odin file. I would link but I am on my mobile app. Just search di01 you should find it.

Can't find pit file

For lack of a better term I'm a dumb a55! I have bionix-v 2.2 can't find pit file. Do I use stock 512 pit? I also have Odin 1.7.3 I can't get it to launch. I'm sure I'm just aggravated and need to to walk away. Used old 1.0 Odin to revert back to stock jfd. No lagfix no root. Thought I was ready to flash...please help.

you dont use a pit file to flash bionix, you do that with clockwork recovery, but hey I'll give you the pit if you want it.
Woohoo! I think I'm ready. Thank you!

Here is a late heads up it's not if your computer crashes it's when. Get a
dvd rw for a solid vibrant back up. I have a external hd that I use to back my whole computer up. It's saved me big time. Have you downloaded the toolbox yet?
Here you go...

Does repartitioning remove kernels as well?

will repartitioning with odin and doing a flash to stock remove present
kernels from phone.
To properly repartition you must use one of the official vzw .tar files either dl09 or eb01 and you must have the atlas 2.2pit file and the repartition box needs to be checked...that will make sure you correctly repartition...and in doing so your kernel will be replaced along with deleting root, cwm and any user data that you may have

Also worth noting that some (not all) of these stock odin packages will revert your modem as well. If you follow these instructions you *should* be stock everything.
man i wish that was the case. however, atm i cannot connect my 3g. do you think the modem has something to with this? (btw its the modem that will affect it right?)
Yes the modem is your 3g. If you are having issues try *228 option 2 a few times. If that doesn't fix it Odin back to stock. There is a thread in the general section that has everything you need including instructions for Odin. Use the pit file and one of the Odin files there for coming off of cm7 and you will be completely back to stock, everything wiped and reinstalled.

Dale you are the man..3g works now..THANK YOU

odin for note 2

OK, so I was trying to unroot my phone and some how managed to screw it up and now I have a system software not authorize on my screen. I can get to odin mode but I have one minor problem. I cant find a odin program that will install on my pc.... -.- I have files I have dl from other threads to unroot and restore my phone using odin, but when it comes to dl odin files, either the link is no longer available or it wont install. I get some message saying odin3.ini with a bunch of asian symbols after that. Can any one help me on this please.

Odin does not install to your computer, it simply launches.
What OS are you on? If you're on Windows Vista or 7 it should work perfectly, I don't know if it'll work on XP. On Mac I believe you use Heimdall. On Linux you use Heimdall.

The toolkit can be dangerous just because it had an unreleased firmware (it was what Samsung used to test the phone before they started selling it) that was the "return to stock" firmware, and I'm unsure if the creator ever removed it so it still probably has it, and was completely unrootable by all of our exploits, unable to be unlocked, and unable to be flashed in Odin so there is no way to get back to stock.
While the other things in the toolkit haven't had as many big complaints as the "return to stock" feature I still wouldn't use it. If it has that there is no telling what else is going on behind the scenes.

I know when I used it for Verizon it had 3 options I believe. But if he has the files downloaded already then I was simply recommending to see if this woukd run Odin on his pc.

This is the thread for droidstyle's guide to restore to stock. Has Odin download and all necessary files. Shangrila is right, be careful with that toolkit. Personally, I would stay completely away from it.
