If that fails flash stock rom .

[Q] help please i want my root back

hey guys please somebody help me i updated my phone to the leaked version of ics and is stock i lost my root acces and i can't restore apps because i did the backup with titanium backup. also the firmware have a lost of bugs
You're on the leaked version.
You're on the stock.
You lost root.
You can't install any app.
You don't like the firmware.
So what do you plan to do? return to stock GB or return the phone to AT&T?

Use Odin/Heimdall to flash a rooted ROM w/CWM recovery.
Follow the guides.

Since you mentioned stock in addition to your leaked ics, I'll point you here

This thread, like the rest of this forum, works best if you READ and understand what you're doing.
Follow this thread to get back to stock...... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 . After that flash again to gain root access.

I9300 rooting-unrooting

Hello everybody, I'm new here And I got newbie question.
I want to root and install Custom ROM'S to my device(I know how to that), I'll make my stock ROM 4.1.2 backup(in CWM). I was searching, and found, that I can un-root my device(get back warranty), but every tutorials says, that I will need download stock rom from Sammobile, but there arent firmware from my region. The question, do I will be able use my own backup like stock firmware in un-root proccess ? (Dont dowload firmaware from sammobile, but use own backup) If answer is "Yes", second question is, do I be able to recieve official updates after restore (OTA, KIES) ? Thanks for answers.
no. I mean, you will unroot but you will still have a custom recovery (CWM), and that voids your warranty

that, or follow the instructions for returning to the warranty state.
or if your recovery backs up /recovery partition then restoring the backup will overwrite CWM too
I'm confused Thanks for answers.

you are a newbie i guess. how did you flash a custom rom without knowing how to flash a custom recovery?
anyhow, enter the recovery mode(volume up+home+power). there you can see backup&restore option, go into it and back it up. hope you do everything right. read the stickies if you don't know what you are doing.

Precautions to take before rooting/Custom Roms

I rooted my Galaxy Note 2 and used an app from the app market for backing up the EFS, the app crashed in the middle and I ended up losing the EFS. Nothing worked and I had to take it to the service centre (thankfully I could remove the flash counter and make the status to official so they did it within warranty.)
I have exchanged the phone with my sibling, I have the s3 now. The battery life on the official UK 4.3 version (since it wasn't out for India yet) sucks(any. I would like to try custom Roms.
Kindly link me to any existing thread(I Couldn't find one) if its there.
What all precautions should I take?
1)Backup the stock ROM(using Titanium Backup?)
2)Backup EFS(using?)
Thanks in advance

you can use the hc-KTool to backup the efs, is easy to use and free downloads from the play store. backup the stock rom is a custom recovery such as CWM, Philz, TWRP.

another precaution may be, install the correct kernel for rom you wear. clear that if you change custom kernel. but just these two precautions, especially with having the efs backup.

but EFS backup would require root? And the root method available is for 4.1.2
Rooting and Custom Roms were so much more fun on the sk17i
