how do i make my gtab stock again. i rooted it and im running it on a 3.2 custom rom but want to make it stock 3.2 rom and unroot it
Did you take a nandroid backup before rooting? If so, restore that in CWM.
Else find any stock Odin Rom and flash using Odin.

i would like to know how to do this aswell
I don't always subscribe to the "search the forums" approach, but if you are smart enough to find the instructions to root and install a custom ROM, you are capable of finding unrooting instructions without creating a new thread. Hint: the instructions to unroot are immediately after the instructions on how to root...

I think I remember doing that but how would I go about doing that? Just dragged it back to the root of the grab SD?
still lost
use odin to get the stock recovery (tar).
edit, but you should be searching.
great now im stuck at the boot screen again. please help
edit nvm i got it. thanks.
I think just flash it with stock and it will be unrooted..

That can be flashed through Odin?
Im unable to flash any ROMs through CWM or through recovery since I have a problem with the SD card (had this problem after flashing a stock Froyo ROM) also after doing this I cant get into recovery or download through the 3 button combo, used to be able to do it but cant anymore for some reason (I think its also because of the Froyo flash), I have CWM installed and every time I try to flash any ROM it gives me an E:Error cache/sd (Status 2)
I havent been able to fix this issue, so I thought of trying to work around it, I am able to get into download mode using ADB, so I was hoping to find a custom ROM that can be done through Odin, by trying a new custom ROM Im hoping to get rid of my SD card issue (card says its write protected but its not)
Your best bet would be to odin back to stock and go from there. Start back off with a clean slate and be able to use ClockworkMod. Just check the stickies for the proper procedures.
Oh, and just for reference, you are putting the .zip ROM file on the root of you internal memory? If not, try that with ClockworkMod again and see what happens.

I would have to second the Odin back to stock recommendation as well.
Last thing you want to do is soft brick the phone while it's hardware locked. That's a recipe for hard brick if I ever saw one.

When you guys say stock... do you mean back to stock 2.1 or 2.2?
All my issues have started from flashing a stock 2.2 ROM
Do you guys have a link to a stable stock ROM?
I think I still have the stock ROM that I flashed but Id rather not use that one
Thanks for the help guys

I am referring to stock 2.1. All the Froyo builds are unofficial. Just do a search in the vibrant Android dev section for JFD. That is the latest official Rom, which 2.1.

gotta a question about getting back to stock rom on my vibrant:
so i rooted and flashed to nero v5 the other day and i'm loving it...
but b4 i flashed to nero i did "backup current rom" and thought that i backed up my stock rom but i realized later that i was never in "clockwork" recovery at that time, just "samsung" recovery...
so did it even backup my stock rom at all?!
how do i flash back to stock now?
thanks for any help!
You have to flash clockwork recovery to make a nandroid backup. Flash it in ROM Manager, then select "Reboot Into Recovery." That will take you to Clockwork Recovery. You can make your backups from there.
use odin
is the easiest way
and it will unroot your device

I still have a few questions before rooting my phone for the first time.
1) if i root 2.3.6 using the right kernel, Can i still install an ics custom rom like resurrection?
2) if i root stock 4.0.3 Poland version or argentinian version, final result of installing a new custom Rom is gonna be the same because it completely replace the first one?
3) what's the difference between nandroid backup and cwm way to backup custom rom? Do i need to keep my backup inside the phone in order to unbrick it tomorrow, or may i just store it on my notebook and delete it from the phone?
Thanks a lot!!

1) Rooting is just to give you access to CWM.. ergo the ability to install custom ROMS so you can install ROMS after rooting
2) When you flash a new ROM (which is rooted) then you dont have to bother about what did you did before that..
3) If i'm not mistaken CWM only allows u to do a nandroid backup.. And if u want to restore to the backup ( in ur case unbrick :silly U need to have that in ur sd card :good:
Happy rooting.. Happy flashing..
1) Follow whatever instructions the rom you're wanting to use has to the letter.
2) If you install a custom rom, then yes, obviously it will replace any stock rom you flash it over the top of.
3) A CWM backup is a Nandroid backup. It's the same thing. You can store your backups wherever you want. I have my 4 most recent Nandroids on my phone, and I have every backup I've ever done on my phone stored on my PC (and another copy on an external drive I use for backups). So I guess the question you're asking is, can I take a Nandroid backup from ages ago stored on my PC, put it on my phone & restore it. Am I right ? If that's what you're asking, the answer is yes.
Thanks. Actually i was asking in case my phone bricks after installing a new rom. I guess i won't be able to come it back to life if i don t have the backup in the phone.
And one more thing. What is efs backup. Do I also need to do it?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Yes. The 2nd thing you should do after your root your phone (first thing is do a Nandroid backup) is to get kTool from Google Play & backup your EFS. Before you install another rom or kernel do both of those.
Keep a copy on your external sdcard & keep another copy on your PC. Just in case you ever need it. We get quite a few people on here every week with IMEI/EFS details gone & most don't have EFS backups.
thanks!
I forgot to ask, is there any real risk at using triangle away app? So far, is it working on any kernel? thanks

I've actually used that app a few times well (about 5) and haven't had any issues but once you get CWM installed and you flash kernels through it you won't get the yellow triangle.

There will always be a risk when using anything that manupulates root access, but triangle away is quite safe, as for what kernel if works on, most kernel threads will say if it is compatiable or not, but only with ICS kernels, not GB kernels.
"...once you get CWM installed and you flash kernels through it you won't get the yellow triangle."
What do you mean by that? I actually don´t need to use the app, because triangle will dissapear anyway after flashing a Kernel?

You will still have the triangle after flashing a new rom or kernel, the best way to get rid of it is triagle away, this app will also reset your flash counter.
Once you get a working CWM, let's say you're using Cyanogenmod 9 and you want to flash over the stock kernel.
You'd put the kernel file on the memory of the device (sdcard) and boot in CWM recover and flash from there and you won't get the triangle.
The triangle won't go away now if you unless you use a USB jig or the triangle away app. So get rid of the triangle now and when you want to try a new kernel flash it through CWM and the triangle won't appear. Flash a kernel through download mode and you'll get the triangle.

Fixing permissions is automatic I believe in CWM recovery. It's an option in the recovery menu. Remember to wipe data and cache (dalvik too) when flashing a next rom or else you won't be able to boot.

Thanks for the info mate
By the way, you should really just buy a USB Jig off eBay for a few quid, it resets the custom binary counter (on old bootloaders) and can also force your phone into download mode after a bad flash. Handy to have around. Also, now that you have rooted your phone, download EFS Pro (found here on XDA) and back up your EFS folder before any flashing. Lose this folder and your in serious trouble!

Hi! When rooting or flashing a custom rom or kernel, do I lose internal sd card content?
Where is the EFS folder I need to backup?
Thanks!
Hey guys,
I've been seeing a few posts with unfortunate people having trouble restoring their phone to stock state (i.e. unroot and stock OS and no CWM).
I wonder, though, what preliminary steps should I take for the installation of a CWM (and eventually CM on my S II), and what steps should I take when I want to restore it back to stock state.
There are quite a few names and methods, but I've been wondering what the popular (and hopefully foolproof) method is?
I currently have a stock S II.
Any help is appreciated
I just used Odin and flashed a stock ROM on to it. All traces of root was removed after that.
The only step Id do would be to make sure Odin works with my phone[in case you need to use download mode].
Its inbetween rooting and installing custom roms you need to worry about;eg
Efs backup
Nand backup

Yes you can take back up of your stock os only after installing safe kernal... After that you get custom recovery from there you can take backup
DO NOT TRY TO WIPE OR TRY TO TAKE BACKUP FROM STOCK RECOVERY.

I have a samsung galaxy tab 10.1 with verizon 4g LTE. I was trying to root it, and was having trouble so I decided to restore it. When I bought the tablet used on amazon, it already had 4.0.4 on it, but when I reset it I got reverted back to 3.1. I have no idea how to fix this. I tried rooting using this thread as a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657758. But I had no luck. I also found this: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34094-rom-official-update-lp11-official-ics-update-for-vzw-101-lte-tab/ , But I couldn't get to fe01. I tried Kies but that didn't work either. Now I have no idea what to do, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. If there is already a better link dealing with this issue point me to it please.
I have a root zip you can use... let me know and I'll post it..
As for getting cwm or TWRP recovery on the device.. I have a file with a cwm that I used to get a custom recovery on my tab using odin.. but once on it, I suggest getting an updated recovery. You can do this by flashing a recovery zip in the older cwm. There is also a TWRP recovery file you could use in Odin, but I read in the op that it's hit or miss. It's in the infamous aokp rom op.
I just remembered that the root zip is for 4.0.4 ICS.. what are you on right now..
Really once you have a custom recovery you can flash a rooted rom, unless you plan on staying stock..
Let me know what ya think...

I have Clock work mod on my phone, but i can't get root access, so yesterday I installed a 4.2.2 nightly rom. i tried rooting in 4.0.4 but it wouldn't work, then I tried again in 3.1 and still no luck. I think I might just stayin the rom I have now, but I would like to go back to 4.0.4 stock w/ touchwiz. I also tried the OTA update with no luck. If I can root in the rom I have now, I'll keep it, but otherwise I'll go back to 4.0.4 or stock. I'm kind of new to this so your help is greatly appreciated.

I would have thought the nightly was rooted.. you go to developer settings and give root access to apps and adb...
Also... if you go back to stock 4.0.4..I have a root zip you can use... I'll throw up a link to my dropbox..
Here is my dropbox link... https://db.tt/8bEz54AY
You need to extract the files out of the zip... should be an Odin file... cwm recovery tar for 4.0.4....and the root zip for 4.0.4..flash the root zip in recovery... you could try it on a different rom. Just have a backup...
Also... you can stick with cwm, but I believe TWRP is a better recovery for this device... I prefer infamous TWRP.. you can flash the TWRP zip in cwm and then reboot recovery to check it out..
