One week ago i bought my first smartphone, Samsung I9001, i had no ideea what to do with it, so when i connected it to my laptop via Kies it asked me if i want to upgrade my firmware. I did it and at 3% stoped working. So i searched the web for solutions, i found that Odin program, and i installed android 2.3.6. I was really happy that i solved the problem, but then i found out that my warranty could be lost because i rooted my phone, and it apears also in Menu-About Phone-Kernel Version. So now i dont know how to unroot it, and install an official firmware, and what version of the firmware do i need, to have my warranty back. Please i need some help!

To UNROOT
Put UnRoot-i9001-Signed.zip into internal sdcard
Reboot into Recovery mode
Use Volume buttons to choose apply update from sdcard in Recovery Menu.
Press Home button to submit.
Use Volume buttons to choose UnRoot-i9001-Signed.zip on sdcard
Press Home button to start update.
1 second and Root is gone.
Choose reboot system now and press Home button to reboot your phone.
And about your rom, do you have a cooked rom or a stock one?

Thank you a lot! I will try that as soon as possible.
And about my rom, i don't know if it's cooked or stock, but i have the filename, is GT-I9001_VDH_I9001XXKPS_I9001OXXKP5_I9001XXKPG .
And i was hoping if you can tell me what rom to install, so i can be able to use my warranty. Or if i will do what you wrote, i won't need to install another rom? Thanks!
i successfully entered in recovery mode, unrooted my phone, but in menu/about phone the kernel version still says [email protected] so i am worried if i take it to service, the wont fix my phone, because my warranty will not be available. so can someone tell me if this is true. my phone doesn't vibrate anymore since i rooted it.
please someone help me
Thanks, just what I needed.
helped me 2, i needed to send it to warranty, just couldn't send it rooted.

Hello,
I recently upgraded to 4.0.3 (without reading up) and found that it was a beta release and somethings are not working correctly or crashing a lot.
So I would like to revert back to 2.3.5 however I have had a few problems doing so. When I put 2.3.5 back on, I received a load of force closes of processes (google) to name a few.
I used ODIN to do the update and again to revert back to 2.3.5. Could anyone explain or point me in the right direction of how to do this?
I am using a Galaxy S2 on the orange network. Please let me know if you need anymore information and please post as much information as possible as I only know so much.
Thanks in advance,
Simon

You are right to use odin, did you do a full data wipe before reverting back.

There is no fofum for my phone, does anyone know of a guide on how to get root on the M Style? The universal Samsung root for flashing in stock recovery doesnt work, super one click doesnt work, and xray say my device is immune to the known exploits. Im willing to root the hard way if I have too, just need steps so I dont brick my phone. Must... Delete... Bloat...
Edit- M340K, sorry.
Bump... Anyone know how to root this thing?
One more bump in case anyone else needs this, I found this finally.
http://auv.me/Galaxy-M-Style-SHW-M340K-root-rom
Its a standard Odin flash, all the odin files and pre-rooted rom are linked here. You can flash it as an update and keep everything, no need to wipe. It does install some carrier bloat (so I had two sets of bloat) but its rooted, so you can get rid of all of it.

It should. My phone says its an M340S now in settings but everything still works so it should work on both models.
Hi. Im using the same phone. But the link is in korean text i think. Help
Sent from my SHW-M340S using xda app-developers app
I just recently rooted my Samsung M Style SHW-M340S phone.
[GUIDE]
1. Download the attachment that I uploaded.
2. Transfer the zip file to the root of your sdcard either by connecting your phone to your computer or wirelessly (Do not unzip the file).
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Go into Recovery Mode by holding down the home button, volume up button, volume down button, and the power button at the same time. Once you see the SAMSUNG logo show up, release the power button and you should see the recovery menu. Select "apply update from sdcard". Use the volume up and down buttons to scroll up and down the menu. Press the home button to select your option.
5. Use the volume up and down buttons and choose the zip file.
6. After the update is complete, choose the option to "reboot system now".
7. After the phone finishes restarting, you now have a rooted phone.
Note: I'm not sure if this will work on a M340K/L phone as I don't have those phones to test out.
m340s
I used several methods to root my m340s. but non of them worked.
After following ur proceeedure when i run terminal emulator it shows $ mark. but when i run the code "su" (without quotes) there it was turned to # instead of $ and it allowed to run that code. I think its rooted now.
Thanks a lot..

I can't link anything here as I don't have 10 posts yet. You can look up "home_m340s.fh27" on google and you should be able to download it. Most will be from Korean sites though.

Hi first of all just want to thanks for this forum though I know it's wrong forum I think but I can't post under Android Development. Anyway thanks again for this forum again, I was able to root my Xperia P because of this site. Just want to clarify and ask some things about this one:
-In my first attempt rooting my phone, I experienced that my phone display is not normal like it's blurry. Anyone experienced that? Then I re-root my phone again but this time I chose Superuser, in my first attempt I chose SuperSU. After that, everything went fine, display is now okay then I download and installed SuperSU (granting permission with Superuser). Having those two at the same time is okay? Though I really don't know what are these two are for.
-Then after that, I proceed in CWM Recovery. At first I'm having trouble with accessing the recovery then finally I was able to access it. Then as per guide, I chose "Backup" then I just wait after that the Backup Completed then I'm just curious what is "Choose Backup Format" so I click it then it freeze. Anyone experienced freezing in CWM Recovery? And what is "Choose Backup Format"? And fortunately, I was able to reset my phone by pressing "Volume Up + Power Button". I saw it here too in this forum, to quote:

What recovery exactly ? In other words, we can't give you any idea of what you can possibly try next unless you tell us precisely what you did.

Perhaps a silly question, but was your phone definitely on 4.1.2 at the time?
Personally I prefer the root methods using Odin - you get a lot more feedback as to whether or not things are working.

Yes it was, but I did't notice that tutorial is for S2 I9100G, because mine is S2 I9100. By the way, is there a chance that usb jig could fix this? Because Im losing hope to start it manually..
You've flashed firmware for a different device, this is why your phone is dead. Take it to someone who does JTAG's, it may be JTAG'able. If a JTAG doesn't work replace motherboard - either a new one by Samsung service centre (expensive) or a 2nd hand one you source yourself & pay a local mobile repair shop to swap (cheaper).

Thank you! And what about usb jig, should I try it?
Of course, given they only cost a couple of bucks on eBay you don't have anything to lose. This might be the 1 in 10,000 where it works in this situation for whatever magical reason. But you do need to be realistic/manage your expectations & buy one expecting it won't work.
Since its dead/bricked, try what ever is neccessary to turn it on. Does the recovery mode work? If it does try to update/flash a stock official firmware for your phone. Do what ever is necessary or get ready to pay for some bucks at the local repair shop.

"Set warranty bit: recovery" (yellow)
And it will not allow me to do anything anymore. (only download mode actually works now). I tried loading it thru odin again, still the same error.
What should i do??? i would like to root it anyway possible, idc how. i am down to load a new rom on it. i am down for whatever.
PLEASE HELP!!! thanks.,

If you can get it to boot into recovery (hold volume up button, home button and power button . Release power button as soon as phone vibrates. Hold home and power up until menu appears), push volume down button to navigate to Factory reset. Use power button to accept.
Hopefully this will get you up and running. This is one important step that is left out of instructions. Sometimes it isn't needed when rooting, but more often than not I find I have to do this with my phones
