I'm a fool first off and I'll admit it.
I decided to try and root my Galaxy S (running 2.3.3) today so followed some instructions using Odin and a CF file. Unfortunately I downloaded a CF file for a Galaxy TAB by mistatke and not the phone simply sits on the balck text screen toth Samsung Galaxy S I9000. I can still get into Downlaod mode but now have absolutely no idea which of the 8 million CF xxx. tar files I now need to enable me to get back into my phone.
All I do know is that:
It's on Orange UK
(I presume) it's locked
it was running Android 2.3.3 before I messed it up.
I'm an idiot and in need of help.
Thanks in advance
Try to visit samfirmware (dot) com,they have lots of stock rom,yours should be there too

Hello guys, first of all, happy new year
Im searching for a great guide to unroot my Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 P7510, but i can´t find a guide with a clear way to solve this or i find several guides but every guide is different, so i´m very confused what to do now.
I purchased my Galaxy Tab 10.1 P 7510 in the Netherlands, but i live in Germany and now i have to get it in the original State like i have purchased it. Im not sure which stock official rom i have to download, on samfirmware.com there are two Roms, one is dated with june and the other one with july: http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p7510.htm
So which one do i need? What does csc mean ? I also saw this on the xda forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167250 But he says he does not recommend it : "Pre-release TOUCHWIZ rom, not recommended!"
I rooted the tab with this method from galaxytabhacks.com : http://galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1-the-easy-way/
But this method seems not to work i think : http://galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-unroot-your-galaxy-tab-10-1/ Many people say that they are not getting official updates andymore or cant update to touchwizz, but touchwizz was always on my tab.
Im really afraid of bricking my tablet so i need your guys help.
What i understood is that i have to install a stock rom first of all with odin or clock word mod recovery. For me personally CWM is easier, but i have no clue which Rom to install, because the roms on samfirmware.com are .rar !
And then i have to flash to original recovery with odin? How to do that?
Also many people say that they have still the superuser app after unrooting. Whats with that?
i hope you guys can help me. thanks already for reading....
Hey I unrooted as I had to send my tablet in for repairs. I flashed my nandroid backup and then used my root access to delete super user and then unrooted and used stock android recovery to reset user data etc.
Check out this link for how to unroot.
Having a nandroid aka cwm recovery backup makes it much easier.

I used this link that you said didn't work successfully. What seems to be the problem for you?
Sent from either my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi or Motorola Atrix 4G

Ah this is so sick
hi,
i rooted my galaxy tab 10.1 3G (europe) GT-P7500.
and installed CWM but the CWM isnt working properly it keeps flashing the screen and therefore i cannot read anything that is in the recovery...
(oh btw i unrooted it already...)

i tried Odin, watched some movies, but Odin keeps telling me it failed.

also i cant seem to find the Stock rom for my tab.
can you please help a noob like me? (plz tell me as detailed as you possibly can so i cant screw it up..)
Thanks in advance
(oh btw i unrooted it already...)
a friend gave me a solution... i had to use the files for fummies and flash it with stock rom using Odin.
thanks anyway
Hi all
Im pretty much a noob and learning my way with rooting etc.
Anyway I got an S3 Mini ad tried to root it (as I have with my S3, Nexus 7 etc) but it didnt work. It will allow me to go into download mode an when turned on it just stays on the Samsung S3 Mini boot screen.
I have flashed it with the stock firmware (4.1.1) on Odin with no luck at all.
The computer recognises it and its drivers but will simply not boot up.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I suggest you post in S III mini forum where you can get more help as here is S III forum

hi thanks for the reply but i think i figured it out. i was looking in other posts and stuff about the same problem and or ones about how to root and i think i just used a out of date kernel thing. because i found the same kerrnel i used that messed up my cell but the other one i found was a newer version i tihnk. so i downloaded that and did the thing with odin and yah it rebooted perfectly and from what i see my cell is rooted.
Good news then

I bet the yellow triangle gets on your nerves next ha! i found using a jig was the best way and safest to get rid of the triangle,but there is software to get rid i think it is by chainfire.
Galaxy S2 i9100 wont reboot after rooting
Hi There,
I have exactly the same problem. I did try to root and followed the instructions given in galaxys2root dot com.
Followed the link "ww.galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-i9100-icsandroid-4-0/" . ( One 'W' is intentionally missing in the referred link as a spoof. I am a new user with less than 10 posts so I am not allowed to paste a working link. Sorry) I went through the video first and followed all instructions threadbare.
Odin returned a green success message too. but the phone would not wake up beyond the Samsung Boot logo for S2. I was on ICS version 4.0.X prior to the ilflated root and my phone version is GT-I9100G.
You must excuse me, I did not note down my previous baseband version and similar other details in the about phone. I bought the phone from a Hongkong based ebay vendor and I live in Australia.
I am hoping i have not lost completely my phone and data. I have written too that web site too. Could you please help as soon as possible. I am without a phone.
thanks heaps in advance,

Can you get to download mode?
flash siyah v5.
Background:
I had my Galaxy S3 rooted on 4.0.4 ICS with no problems for several months, however when I wanted to upgrade to 4.1 Jellybean via OTA I quickly learned that the OTA update won't work on a rooted OS. I installed an called Voodoo OTA which claimed to be able to temporarily unroot you device so you can get the OTA Jellybean update. It failed, did not accomplish what it claimed to be able to do, however what it did do was patially unroot my phone to a state that it can neither be unrooted fully or re-rooted back to a full rooted state. I did a full clean wipe and factory reset and I am still in the same position. I have used the Android Toolkit for S3 to flash it back to factory state it just hangs in ODIN at the boot.img, I have attempted to root and un-root with the Android Toolkit multiple methods and .tar files, nothing, just hangs when it gets to the imaging part.
The phone is fully functional, but I feel imprisoned by the phone now as it operates like an unrooted phone, but I can't upgrade it.
Can anyone help me out of this, even to just get back to a rooted phone.
Thank you to anyone and everyone for your advice!:good:

I have SGH-I747 model for AT&T. I just tried using ODIN directly without the S3 Toolkit and I get a 'Complete (Write) operation failed.' see attached print screen.
It seems as though my device will not allow writing to it. My internal SD card is not encrypted.

Thank you for clarifying. It's a bit confusing, I thought that was the standard model number.
