As title
I would rather have skygo than my rooted phone, how do I go about doing it without losing all my apps?
Thanks

If you are rooted using chainfire superSU, go in supersu settings and you will find an option to completely unroot
Otherwise, flash a stock kernel from your rom

Go to www.sammobile.com, download the stock firmware you want and flash through odin.

any other way as I cant get odin on my work pc?
ignore this
I wiped all my apps and forgot my phone was unlocked which was only available through root so I have to keep root.
Whats the best rom to use these days?
get the stock kernel from <sammobile.com>. and flash through ODIN. really very simple. but then you root for the fun and freedom and why go back?

Superuser does not root your phone . In fact your phone must be rooted to install Superuser from the market . Just download Z4root and put the Z4root.apk on your phone then install it .

I have had plenty of success using Z4root. But most of the time I flash Eugene via odin which comes pre rooted.
lulz. search superoneclick 1.6.5 that will root ur phone with the quickness on stock 2.2 trust me
make sure you have the samsung drivers installed. pm me and i can drop box the one click and drivers if u need
I'm sure this has been asked before, but with search I can't find anything..
If you update to 2.3.4 from .3, will it keep root or shud I root again. And if so, do I lose all my root files?
Thanks in advance!

The apps will be deleted, but as soon as you re root they will be there.
Is there a way i can download the upgrade and Flash it with CWM?
All is clear, i'm just wondering.
I don't think so, not sure.
Make a back-up with titanium and it will stay on your internal sd.after the flash re-root with CF-Root.Download the free titanium app from the market and re-install all apps and data to phone and with market links then if you want download a kernel via the phone and flash via CWM
I did google that and all tutorials I found were for the WiFi version. I have honeycomb 3.2 installed. I have another question, after rooting, will I still be able to get notified of new official updates through Kies?

Flash via CWM. Also why Kies? Kies is horrible, very poor support from Kies.

Yeap you will, there is just one problem. Kies is region bound, so where EU gets official ICS update, and you live somewhere in the middle east? You won't get the update till there is an arabic/regional firmware released via kies.

As he said it will be no problem I personally updated to 3.2 while i was rooted with no problems

Only problem is, updating via Kies makes you lose your root.
***EDIT***
Nevermind Thanks... I found a really simple tutorial. Sorry for the dumb question...
Hi,
So I have the Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7500R (R is for Rogers Canada version) and it states that it is a 4G device but NOT LTE - only HSPA+ so not REAL 4G but thats what the box says anyways... Lol.
Can I use this file to root my tab? Do I place the .zip on the root of my SD card and then just flash from STOCK recovery or is this an ODIN file?
Also... Once rooted, how do I get CWM? Do I just need to D/L the Rom Manager app from the market and flash recovery from there?
Please advise and sorry for all the questions. I have rooted my old SGS, my SGSII and my Galaxy Nexus (among others) using different methods and I just want to ensure this is done right the FIRST time with no problems.
Thanks in advance...
I would suggest you do a backup before you flash the recovery, I havent heard many with the Roger's tablet.

I have already successfully rooted and flashed CWM with ROM Manager and everything is working like a charm.
The Rogers version of the tablet is marketed as a 4G (even says so when I have my SIM card in) but it is NOT an LTE device so really it is a GLORIFIED 3G/3.5G device.
I followed all steps I found to root the 3G model and voila... ROOTY TOOTY GOODNESS!!! Lol.
It is quite confusing so I hope a MOD can make a sticky somewhere to keep Rogers Tab owners from flashing the WRONG root files and such.
To flash the rooting file, can I go into recovery then choose update from a file and that's it? Or do I have to go through long tutorials?

Would you like to share how you rooted? I have a P7500 Swedish version (P7500XWLB1) ; running 3.2 or 3.23 (latest version). I have access to that rom if somethings fail. But SuperOneClick does not work and I just want to be able to rot and unrot. How do I manage that without CM and stuff like that?
I have not found a post or guide to rot and unrot the latest version, most guides are for 3.1, and I also would like to be able to unrot so I can use Kies once it comes.

Yep. Initial root requires a computer.
If you really need to root right now, download Odin and CF-Root on your phone and ask someone to borrow their computer or use a public computer. Move the files to the computer and root it in less than one minute and you're done!
i have a few questions maybe you guys can help... so here we go:
when you root with odin, it unlocks the phone giving you su right. does this also change your rom?
how is the launcher different than the rom? difference between flashing rom and kernal?
last one... when you install a custom rom, can you delete it if there are bugs to reinstall a different one or use the stock?

If it's a rom that includes the SuperSU app, you can unroot it. Should work. Infact Stweaks also unroots....

I thought that was the question I was answering.
Well if unrootin the secnd rom desnt work using superuser, then just remove /system/app/supersu.apk and /system/bin/su frm teh rm.zip before you flash it.

Sorry for the confusion. I think I'm writing it wrong I think, I know how to unroot, that works.
But Sky Go still detects it as a rooted rom
What I want to know is can I put a stock unrooted rom for secondary rom with siyah Dual Boot. Without affecting the first rom and root?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You can only flash stock roms via odin which won't help you since you must use siyah recovery to flash 2nd rom.... so no...
There are only TWO elements to root which I have suggested you remove manually (follow link to sticky roll-up on signature for root basics).
If sky go still detects "root" after that, its nothing in the rom that its detecting....
So remove the files from the rom before you flash it.... if that doesn't work, nothing will
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
It detects root because the first ROM (the main) is rooted. You could try switching example swap primary and secondary roms
