I have a thunderbolt and unrooted the phone using the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310014 method. When looking at the version # on the phone all the spaces are blank. Can I do a factory reset to get to the original software, did i screw something up along the way, or do I need to root and unroot and use a different method?

My phone was rooted using Super One click prior to updating to 4.1.57. I updated my Atrix without unrooting. The update took, but now I'm unable to unroot my phone. No mods were installed. Only Titanium back up. Please help. How do I remove superuser? I tried using Super One Click, but it states "running psneuter."
I had to do a factory reset after updating my rooted phone in order to get all the apps that I had frozen with TI backup. The reset also removed the superuser app icon.
Thanks, but factory reset failed to remove super user for me.
root atrix
to my feel exactly the same with my atrix and not to restore it to values of manufactures have been able to remove the root icon.
Thank you if you find the solution the make me know and I hare the same with you

Hey I have the same question. I want to do a factory restore but I still want my phone rooted and unlocked. Currently a Vigin phone, rooted to work on Telus.
I rooted my phone via cf-root and have done factory reset before and have never lost root.
can I just do a Factory Data reset. Also do I need to re download Samsung S unlock ?
Thanks
any one have additional info on this.
thanks

Hello. You can always factory reset it and then root it again after if you loose root.
ok well i followed the guide to flash to factory ROM back to my phone after rooting it with EB. But when I go to phone info it still say that my Build Number is still EagleBlood 1.0. is that correct? Im trying to get my XT9 to work again but it doesnt seem like it is. Am I doing something wrong?
Hey Guy's If I reflash back to Stock Kernel then do Factory reset and reset cache will I lose Root ?
btw I'm Still running Stock Firmware if that makes any difference
Guys, just to confirm:
Factory reseting the device should not affect root as the source for this lies within the kernel you used to root in the 1st place. unless a stock kernel is installed the root will remain.

you WILL lose root if you flash a stock kernal yes. a factory reset alone will not affect the root status.

All I need now is a USB JIG any recommended place to buy one from?
eBay.
Factory reset wipes the /data partition, ONLY user-modified data is erased.
All custom firmware, kernel, root access, bootloader, recovery, etc. is untouched as none of it resides in /data.
Effectively you just remove your user profile including the apps+settings for them.
So does that mean to unroot my device I will need Flash both the Kernel and Rom then use a JIG to reset Flash counter to 0?
Hello guys, this is my problem right now. I rooted using the S2 Root guide and Odin with insecured kernel. Then I did the factory reset because I thought I could fix my text msg issue. So reinstalled Titanium Backup and Root Check; I noticed that Titanium Backup said I need to root the phone. So I tried to root my phone again following with the Odin step then to S2 Root. On S2 Root part, it got stuck on the part where it say remounting something and it does nothing at all. Any of you have this issue?

I have an S4 that I am looking to sell. I rooted it using the terminal method and deleted some bloatware. How can I restore this to factory settings? Anyway I can do this without a computer?
Use this link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
Also no, you can't do it without a computer since you need to use Odin
[Q] Factory reset after following "How to Update to VRUEMJ7 and Keep Root" guide?
I followed the "How to Update to VRUEMJ7 and Keep Root" guide and had a question about doing a factory reset afterwards. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I do a factory reset, I will lose root and won't be able to re-root since VRUEMJ7 does not have a root method. Correct?
The reason I ask is because I've been having weird issues with a few apps showing graphics artifacts and then crashing (namely Google Now and 1Weather). For example, when I open up Google Now, the "cards" start to slide in and then I get graphics artifacts and then it closes. No error, no force close message, nothing. However, it doesn't always do it and if I go back a second time to Google Now, it usually opens just fine.

No. A FDR or factory data reset, is just that.
A reset but doesn't change the system partitions of the phone only resets the parameters and accounts.
There are multiple ways to lose root but unless you manually unroot, install an OTA, reinstall the OS via KIES or Odin, you retain root.
You will have to reinstall supersu or whatever root manager you use, unless you converted it to a system app. Then the fdr wouldnt touch it.
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
Today I had a disasterous mishap and I accidentally deleted my entire camera photo album instead of just the one picture I was trying to delete. All day I've been researching recovery methods and everything out there requires my phone to be rooted. Up until now I've done everything in my power to avoid rooting the phone, but now I am up against it and so I need to root it as much as I don't want to.
So now I am researching root methods.... and it everything keeps pointing me to the ping-pong root method which apparently doesn't work on the current firmware version (G925VVRU4B0G9). Is there any other method that will allow me to root the phone and hopefully get back my pictures... preferably one that will 1) not trip knox, 2) allow me to unroot it putting it back to normal after i'm done, 3) not factory reset the phone?
Thanks,
Jeff

Sorry but no way to root and no way to downgrade either
