[Q] Stock rom can Vodafone tell if its been rooted?

Hi all
Ok Ive just had my phone repaired by vodafone as the motherboard was dead and it came back with stock rom so i straight away set about rooting it but ive had multiple problems.
No matter how many roms i put on it with stock different kernels, super wipe, mega wipe and now even back to vodafones stock rom it keeps crashing and rebooting
I didnt run it long enough when it came back from repair so i dont know if it did it before root, does anyone think this is a issue before i started to root or something i've done?
Also now ive put stock rom on it when i try to do anthing that requires root access it says its not rooted and there is no little orange ! in the corner when booting up, so if i send this back to vodafone can they tell from this that ive attempted rooting etc, is there anyway for them to tell?
Thanks for your helps
not if you se the triangle away app in the playstore to reset your binary counter
Its not so simple as just TA.
Your status is modified and requires run TA flash stock rom then factory reset then check status in download mode and about phone in settings .
jje
ok so i've flashed the stock romj then do a factory reset in options in android? when do i do TA? also doesnt TA need root privledges? As its showing as not rooted?
Thanks
So is the process re root, run ta then reflash stock rom and factory reset?

[Q] does a Factory reset removes root?

I'm facing a bug eversince i updated to JB so instead of doing something about it i decided to flash a custom rom but since then i got bored with flashing and stuff and now want to return to my stock rom as i have a nandroid back of it so i want to do a factory reset to see if it removes the bug but i don't know if that will remove the root or not and since you may be helpfull the bug that i'm facing is that on my stock rom my s3 doesn't seem to get any charge even after an hour of bieng plugged in

When you move from custom rom to stock rom, you lose root access. It means you have to root again.
Moreover when you restore stock rom, nandroid back up is also lost

I'm back on stock rom. Stock recovery. Device 'normal' - easy unroot?

Here's the deal, my S3 has become faulty through no fault of my own. In the past I've run off custom ROM's, recovers, kernels but for a few month's I've been running on stock. A week ago (updated to 4.1.2 when it arrived for O2 UK punters) it started randomly freezing and the only way to fix it was to battery pull. It's been getting worse to the point I was doing a battery pull a hundred times a day. Believing the issue was with 4.1.2 I decided to reflash a custom ROM via CWM which made no difference.
So... It needs to be sent away for repair. I've done an emergency firmware recovery via KIES to get back to stock ROM. I used the S3 toolkit V7 to flash insecure boot, root, TriangleAway. Flashed stock boot, run TriangleAway and then done a factory reset via stock recovery.
I'm at the following stage:
Stock download mode shows official binary and basically the way a brand new never modified S3 would look... No counters.
Settings > About > Device Status shows as 'Normal' and not 'Modified'
The only thing is that I still have SuperSU installed and root apps are working... I want to get rid of this as easily as I can because quite honestly I've given myself a headache with all the back and forth. Can I simply uninstall SuperSU and I'm root-free in a way the repair center can't tell (at least easily anyway)?
Try to flash stock ROM with odin

[Q] How to unroot and restore apps?

i unrooted my ics official rom i777 using ODIN and then backed up with cwm n also titanium back up. I then flashes the latest shostock3 rom and tried to restore my apps but about 30 odds apparently couldnt be restored which if i recall the prompt correctly was due to them being incompatible with the rom.
After using the shostock3 rom i realized im getting really bad battery life so i wanted to unroot and try the official jelly bean update on kies. But i'm a little confused on how to restore the apps i backed up using titanium after unrooting if i it cant work without root access. I understand the process to be wipe, flash official rom but then wouldnt i then not be able to restore my apps and data after that?
After you flash back to stock, just use Framaroot to root it, then TiBu will work.

[Q] Unrooting Sprint Galaxy Note 3 sm n900p

I am a bit of a noob but I have rooted my sprint note 3 which came out successful. I have rooted my galaxy s3 before in the past and flashed many roms without any issues.
Once I rooted my note 3 I ran the stock rom for a week and then decided to kick it up a notch and flashed the bonsai rom, which worked fine until i discovered the camera didn't work. Before I flashed the bonsai rom, I did a backup of the stock rom via cwm. Once I figured out the camera didn't work with the bonsai rom, I reset and wiped the data for my phone and tried to restore the stock rom which i figured it was a boo boo because I got stuck in a bootloop so I reflashed the bonsai rom back on my phone until I got back home to my pc. At that point, I decided to unroot and return the phone back to stock. I used odin and followed unrooting instructions to a tee and I had an official stock firmware, but odin failed and I think I may have soft bricked my phone. In a panic, I downloaded a "rooted stock" rom and flashed that...after a few bootloops, I updated my cwm recovery and superuser app...and my phone has been working fine every since (whew). I really want to unroot, then re-root and just run the stock rom without flashing any more custom roms, however I am afraid of bricking it again.
I have the stock official firmware N900PVPUBMJ4_N900PSPTBMJ4_N900PVPUBMJ4_HOME.tar.md 5 which to my understanding is android 4.3. I do understand that 4.4 is out. I was wondering is it ok to flash the 4.3 using odin to return my phone back to stock?? I've been spooked ever since my soft brick encounter. Any info will be helpful. Btw, sorry for the long story. I figured I should give all the details. That would help me get to the bottom of it all
Thanks in Advance!

Depends on what version you are running, but sounds like you are on mj4 still... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657828 this one is mj4 (4.3), if you are on 4.4 you need to go to the Android development forum and use whatever version you are on, just look for rwilcos one click.
