I recently unrooted my GS2 i777, but now when I make phone calls (calls do actually connect) I cannot hear on either end. No sound sent, no sound received....
any ideas?
What ROM were you on before?

some build of ICS. Not sure exactly. I found how to unroot here http://galaxys2root.com/category/att-galaxy-s2/.
Everything should b stock now...or so i think...
Sounds like you might have the wrong modem installed.

With that unroot file from galaxys2root.com, it had all the files in one .tar (for the PDA slot in Odin) Where would i be able to track down the right modem file?
You could root again and then flash i777 modem and kernel to see if that will help. Are all your touch keys working?
Fyi if you want to unroot, you are beret off useing the sticky on this forum to do so.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Ya all the keys are working just fine. It connects to data, and i can send texts, just no voice.
I'm sorry, I'm admittedly a noob and cannot find it in the stickies....lol
just wondering why you decided to unroot?
Anyways if you are unrooted use this to get root back. If you are 2.3.6 you might want to do some reading to make sure this method will work.

Or if you don't want root, try factory reset.

Can he just simply perform "factory reset" to bring back bone stock from a custom ROM?
Is that easy??? Hmmm
His first post said he unrooted already.

My wife has a Atrix 4g that i have to send back to att. She is not into flashing roms, etc but i am so i know what I'm doing just not with this phone. I'm wanting to root it, tbu all her apps and then unroot it to send it back. Is their such a tool for this phone? I've searched the threads and did not find anything. I do not want to have to flash sbf files. I have a one click root and unroot tool for my Atrix 2 but I'm sceptical of using it on her phone. She is on the 2.3.6 update- 4.5.141. If someone could point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.

Bump.
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
There is a file that enables one click root/unlock.
But to get back to full stock and locked you would have to use the sbf's.
Ya i seen that. I don't think I'm going to find what i am looking for. Iv read about this phone all morning and the phone itself is a hell of a lot different than my A2. She doesn't care for a rooted phone so I'm just going make her reinstall all her apps and data herself. Thanks for the help though.

Ok, so I'm on the edge to root my Samsung Galaxy S3 (AT&T), but I have one concern. Jellybean is supposed to land on this phone in a month, and I was wondering that when I root my phone (no custom ROMs) can I update to jellybean OTA with the root, and have no problems?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
It's gonna be best to un-root before doing the eventual OTA update because it can play havoc with your phone otherwise.
If you stayed rooted and still done the OTA, the best case scenario is that it'll simply take your root status away, but it can cause more problem than simply that.

What's worse case scenario? And it is usually easy to unroot
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I'm not too sure what the worst case scenario is, I just remember reading it not long ago.
I didn't word that last post too well to explain properly. If you're only rooted then you'll be fine to do the OTA. It's if you have CWM installed that errors can happen.
So, you're fine to root but you'll have to re-root once you've done the update.
Sent from Stephen Hawking's rooted wheelchair
Ahhhh okay. So if I root and stay on stock ROM ( I'm not playing to put on any custom ROMs anytime soon) I can update OTA, and everything will go well, and then I'll just root again?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
It says I need to install CWM Recovery for the root

Many people run rootkeeper or the like to take OTA updates without issue. Haven't seen having root causing issues, just taking updates after erasing bloatware.
So if I root, I shouldn't have any problem updating to jellybean OTA?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I'm pretty sure you will. I rooted my phone and couldn't do a OTA so I just went with a custom rom that updates. Best decision ever

But what if I don't install any ROMs
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I'm sure the devs in your forum will offer a stock rooted ROM based off the OTA. So just keep your root and wait for them. Hell . They often release theirs before the official push.

Trust me, you do. I think there's already JB for the galaxy s3 through a custom ROM.
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium
OK, so if I root, just root only.. no custom ROMs, nothing fancy, just being rooted, I won't be able to receive OTA updates at all?

Some devs here are starting to work on their OTA updates for their ROMs. Otherwise, most devs here work at a much faster pace to release their updates than any manufacturer or carrier will.
So its impossible to straight up OTA from your device if your rooted with no ROMs installed?? I don't want to wipe out my data and restore my backup all for a "ROM" because I can't update legittimatly from the OTA server

Its possible to receive ota updates... do it like this.. root your device.. don't remove bloatwares.. don't install custom kernel or rom.. then unroot your device before trying to use ota updates... it works for me.. so no worries..

Pretty much like this. But it makes rooting quite limited, so I don't see why you would go throught the hassle when a custom ROM is a waaayy better choice. Just my opinion, though

So i got a note today and so far its awesome except for the fact that its at stock gingerbread. This wouldnt be a problem but my laptop is down. Is there any way i can rot and install Cwm without a computer? Any help would be appreciated.

You get get odin mobile but it's pricy I think

That requires root to use.

you need a pc to be able to root this phone unfortunately
maybe go to a friends and do it quickly, doesnt take to long
I figured. Always good to ask though. The last phone i had was pre-rooted and rom'd so that made things easy. (it was a skyrocket i got from someone from craigslist)

I rooted using exynose abuse app which gave me superuser and root and then installed too manager flashed recovery with that been flashing ever since don't own a laptop anymore unless my wife decides to come back home lol
I'll be the first to say it...
I screwed up my phone entirely and I know. But that's neither here nor there at this point.
I'm really just hoping for some serious help at this point.
Thanks in advance.
I was stock ll4 baseband and attempted to run “one click"casual to root/unlock/recovery.
Somehow during this process my phone managed to root but failed to unlock or install custom recovery.
I made it back to home screen and checked for root status to verify.
This is where the bonehead mistakes come in
I then tried to install twrp manually thinking the bootloader possibly unlocked during casual. But it did not.
After trying to boot into recoveryi get a notification that I am running custom software and to return my device immediately to Verizon.
I can't get back to home screen either same message.
I attempted to revert to stock several times using droidstyle method and Odin keeps coming at sboot.bin.
Does anyone out there no wtf I did to my phone?
Please help. Thank you
