Let say I root my SGA, then installed CWM recovery, and then I installed Cyannogen.
Is it I can unroot back in order to remove superuser?
Will my Cyannogen had problem because of this unrooting process???
Without root youre Ace will be like a rock )
Why u wanna do that ?
For what ?
you can unroot by flashing any stock rom you want with odin.
Hmm. Superoneclick has a unroot function, but custom ROM will not function well if you are doing it for warranty you gotta reflash stock ROM

While someone learning the rooting process just to flash cwm n custom rom...this guy want to use unrooted custom rom
What are you trying to achieve?
Sent From ACE BeATs
This file will UNROOT it .. But I don't know what will happen to your ACE with that Custom ROM .. I don't take any responsibilities ..
just out of curiosity, why would you want to unroot if you are on a custom rom? I can understand when its for warranty but there's no reason on cyanogenmod.
guess some people had weird way of thinking :/
why would you? just dont use root features and dont risk the things that could happen when unroot on a custom rom
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
you wanna keep cyanogenmod just without root? 3 ways. 1) go into the flashable .zip file for the rom.and delete superuser.apk . 2) get supersu from the market then open it. go into settings then unroot (deletes binary files and superuser so this makes more space for whatever you want.) 3) theres a few apps on the market that "hide" root but dosnt get rid of it. type root hide (or something like that) into google play then find a app. note that you can get root back anytime.
note: if you use supersu then you can just delete binary files if you may want root in the future (deletes superuser.apk and binary but keeps its own binary hidden if you just delete binary. then in the future download supersu (not superuser because the binarys gone) and your rooted again. sometimes root apps work without supersu / superuser if the binarys still there. you just dont get the notification)

Maybe we could take this opportunity to shout out to samsung about official ICS...just install CM9..unroot..send it to the service center..when they switch it on they get surprised seeing ICS on the ace without the device being rooted...they then inform the powers-that-be at samsung and then we get an official update..

slow down it takes tym to gt a reply..
anyhow i m here
1) All custom roms are rooted so u will not loose ur root access..
2)All rom developers have listed the samsung apps deleted by them,and they usually give it as an addon pack if some people want.
See it what apps they have removed , if the app u want is deleted good for u or u have to deleted it manually as u have done in the past..
Alternatively u can delete it from the rom before flashing too... if u are experienced.
3)This is a kernel related issue try changing/flashing a new kernel the problem should get solved..
i want to flash the litening rom, what is the newest version available?
my kernel is KF4 but most of the roms i found are for other kernel versions, how do i solve this?
The latest version of litening ROM is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
but can i suggest Cognition as i have used both and i do prefer cognition:

Your kernel doesnt matter - each ROM usually includes their own kernel and when you flash the new rom the kernel from that ROM will also be applied to your phone at the same time

Alright this is my first post here..
I am a complete newbie as far android rooting and custom rom installation is concerned. I have been using Samsung galaxy ace's stock installation unrooted phone for about 6 months...after installing a few apps the phone has become sluggish..and battery drains out more quickly I can do a factory reset
but its not practical reinstalling apps again and again . I figured out custom rom is the way to go to unlock the potential of the phone but the chances of bricking my phone has stopped from taking the plunge.
I haven't yet found a recent how to root and install custom rom post for the galaxy ace S5830 ,the ones that are available are 8 -9 months old I believe a lot has changed since then
My current rom is gingerbread DDKQ6
In short this is what I want
1) Back-up the entire factory os( ie samsung touchwiz etc)..incase I screw up I can always go back.
2) root the phone
3) Install a stable and secure rom gingerbread or ics (even better) which is fast and doesn't lag after installing a few apps. without sacrificing any original features of the phone apart from touchwiz
4) a rom which has all google apps running (gmail,android market,placess,navigation ,search,youtube etc).. i noted the current ics roms for galaxy ace don't have the camera working.
Pls help.

For flashing a rom, ALWAYS delete Dalvic cache, cache and factory reset. Remember those 3 and you can flash any rom you want. Delete these before installing the rom, then flash.
Some roms don't require you to delete one of those, but always do just for safety measures and to avoid future problems.

As other users told you you can follow other guides about galaxy ace (even 11 month old, not so much have changed (for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145).
Just two advices if it's your firs experience with ROMs and root (that I learned here, and "save" my smartphone til now! )
1) To avoid lag and memory limits you should try link2sd or a2sd when yo'ull root (google for them)
2) NEVER use ROM Manager (or the CWM apk pre-installed in some ROMs) to backup your phone/intall ROMs/MOD/etc (NEVER USE IT!) because it'll brick your Ace!
Hope have helped you... Good Luck

So i`ll assume that you already rooted ok?
Download Clockworkmod recovery from dev section
Install it by going to recovery-apply update then choose the sip file
Reboot
Download AOSP rom
put in SD
reboot to recovery
wipe everything
install zip from SD
choose AOSP rom ok?
but AOKP is still under beta so I don`t really recommend it
Its all on www.google.com or just use your brain to click the stickies please....

another thing is i want take up my stock rom too.. i may shift to stock ROM if i m unable to handle custom..
so the backup of the stock ROM is to be taken before rooting orr after rooting?
Back up with cwm after rooting and after installing cwm. Still, the best way to return to stock is Samfirmware and flashing through Odin (u need a PC and the ace's controllers).
It's all in the forums, just don't rush to flashing stuff without an exit plan.

Hi everybody,
I'm new at this forum and in the Android world and I have a few questions about the install process of the ICS CM9 on Galaxy tab 10.1 GT-P7500 3G.
1. If I want to backup my current ROM, do I have to be rooted to use ROM Manager to backup the ROM? And do I have to be rooted to restore that backup?
2. Can I UNROOT my device later? (The device belongs to my father's work and I don't want to take any chances with the warranty things.)
3. How to install the ICS CM9? I think I have all the files I need to so, I hust need the guide.
Thx for your help!! I really hope that I will get this thing going already!
Yes, you need to be rooted in order to install cwm through recovery and then make a backup (although you don't need rom manager. In order to flash ics you have to install pershoot's recovery with odin). You can unroot later, but you have to remove the recovery as well if you want your device to be covered by warranty for sure. So flash with odin a stock rom and you're ok BUT you may loose the data.
Listen, ics installation is tested and almost fool-proof. But bear in mind that a lot of things can/may go wrong and then you'll find yourself in a mess. Since that tablet doesn't belong to you, you should better leave it be, unless of course you have your father's consent and you have explained him all the risks involved.
It wouldn't be nice to find his tab messed up!

Try to Google it. It may come up. You can backup your device through cwm but I would also find the stock firmware if you are going to want it in the future.

OP... Why are you so hung up on ROM Manager???
Just root using the Odin method mentioned, once you've rooted and have CWM installed just do all of your backing up, restoring and flashing through it. ROM Manager is nice and all but it has its own set of issues and all. Read and learn about what you are about to do... You'll be surprised how easy it is and you'll run into alot less problems.
Please put the ROM Manager down and step away.

Hi every one.
Got my s3 when it launched & rooted it with odin using the unlocked kernel? Can't remember exactly ?
My phone keeps telling me there is a software update, but it fails when I try install.
Looking for some advice on what I should do to update it. But obviously I don't want to lose root access.
Also jelly bean is due soon & I'm just wondering whether to wait till then?
Im currently using a stock Rom I think?
I really like the way I have it set up at the min & I'd like to keep it as close to how it is now on jelly?
Can you make a custom Rom from my phone & put it to jelly when it's released.
Any help or advice would be great.
Cos I'm totally lost to be honest?
there was a member who had a problem like this.
1-)people suggested him to flash a stock rom update it and root it again. ( of course do a nandroid backup or titanium backup )
then there will be no problems.
2-) you can choose to flash any available rom for your s3. directly put it in your internal sd and flash with cwm.
you can search that in forum.
P.S: Roms are for use of everybody, you can select what you want to install ( you dont need to search a Rom made for your phone )
OTA's don't work of you are rooted and running a custom recovery.
Flash the latest stock ROM via Odin and root it, but you won't get official OTA's when you are rooted.

That's just humour don't take it seriously.. flashing a kernel is one of the way to root and is the easiest way if ur not comfortable with it watch the video on YouTube by galaxys2root because that's the only way u get the super user access...

I've done it such that a CWM.zip file and SuperSU.zip are uploaded to the phone (don't know their original names as I changed them), then reboot into recovery using the 3 button approach which brings up the normal android recovery and select to install from the sdcard (internal or external or whatever applies) then install CWM.zip which will temporarily, for that session, replace the android recovery screen with a CWM one. In my case its a touch screen selection. Then from that CWM install SuperSu. After rebooting you may need to open the superSU app and update the binary (mine may just be outdated though).
The above has worked for 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 but be sure to do research on the hard brick bug involved with flashing on 4.0.4 and if it applies here.
Mobile Odin needs root permission so it wouldn't work while you are not rooted. I haven't tried other methods.
I'd upload the files I have but I'm not sure its appropriate as they aren't really mine to upload... it seems that the files you'd need are among those in the thread you linked to.
