hi i got a 16GB I9300 rooted with CF-Auto Root.
How can i unroot it completely so that kies updates work again?
i got the stock rom i want.
i think if i flash it over the rooted rom, the cfroot files wont be deleted and so the status will still be modified nd kies wont work, what are the correct steps so is factory state?

Reset the flash counter with Triangle Away, flash the stock rom with Odin and perform a data/factory reset after reboot in settings/backup and restore. Now you can update with Kies/OTA and status will say NORMAL.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 that has CWM installed and i have it rooted. I need to send it back as it has developed a fault. Before doing that i want to unroot it and remove CWM and delete all my data so the phone will be restored to factory default
I have downloaded the relevant Stock firmware (Three in UK ) is it just a case of Flashing it with the stock firmware via Odin will this remove the root/CWM and all the data ?
Cheers

Yes but you will need to reset the custom rom counter to zero .

Yes but doing just that is not sufficient if you are trying to get a replacement. Like three other user pointed out, you will need to reset the flash counter to zero.

1. Reset counter using Triangle away from CF
2. Flash stock firmware
3. Hard reset device to remove all trace of modification and any private data from the device storage. Hard reset wipes the phone completely including the internal sdcard so it's like from the factory. to hard reset dial:

If i rooted my phone and i have the default rom i can still update it via kies?if the answer is no can you guys tell me what i have to do to unroot my phone so i can update it via kies?
sry for my english
flash the complete tar packages with odin. The build number must be identical to what you had before rooting. same for CSC/PDA etc.
what do u mean with flash with odin?a full unroot doesnt solve the problem?or using triangle away?
can you tell me how to do that the flashing?
triangle away only makes your flash count reset to 0, you can download the original firmware and flash it with odin, there are loads of tuts about how to show you how to do this.
i dont understand why my status say that my phone is modified if i didnt changed the rom..it`s the stock rom..
you can do install software updates via kies, or by od in 1.85. with updating lose permits of root, after run tuo procedure for obtaining permits off root.
its modified because you have rooted it, there for you have void your warranty
i just run triangle away then i wipe data/factory data and now my device has normal status
but i got another problem..when i did full unroot on supersu it didnt removed the CWM and now i have CWM installed but i cant use it bcuz i dont have root permissions..so is there any way to remove CWM?
ps.i made a factory reset and i still get the cwm app installed..

Hi there,
A few months ago I rooted my phone using Odin3 v1.85 and CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5 downloaded from here. It automatically installed SUper
However I want to un-root it now and send it back to Samsung to fix a niggling hardware problem. I have my USB cable. I tried to search the existing threads in the forum with no luck.
Can anyone tell me how I can unroot my phone?
Thank you in advance.
try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
download any suitable rom (any would be OK, but try to found one that is from a nearby location) and flash it through odin. after that if anything is not working properly, flash it again.
try to format data, cache dalvik and /system before flashing it through ODIN
flash ur stock rom and ur root will be gone
or also u can unroot it by using this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
Don't forget to reset custum binary download counter.
So use triangle away at first.
Thank you for all your replies.
I may add, only a few days ago Samsung released an update for the phone (this was done using Samsung Kies). Since then, I am not able to root access my phone (i.e. when I try to use Triangle Away or SuperSU it says "there is no su binary installed")
Does this mean I need to re-root the phone and then un-root it afterwards? Because I can't use Triangle Away to reset flash/binary counter.

I have. It was rooted properly before but after I installed the update about a week ago, it has removed root access from my phone. Do I need to re-root it then, before un-rooting it?

Updates from Kies remove root. Root it again, reset with Triangle Away. Into recovery, wipe data and cache. Fomat /system to remove cf root left overs. Flash stock Rom from your country in Odin. Make sure Kies recognizes the flashed Rom as local

Thank you for your response. I have successfully rooted the phone again and reset binary counter with Triangle Away. Next step you mention, Into recovery and wipe data and cache. Can you explain how this is done? Also formatting.
Thanks in advance.

Ffs use the search and read the necessary information, I see the same questions time after time all because people can't be bothered to look for themselves, the galaxy S2 is the easiest phone in the world for rooting, un rooting and flashing custom roms, if you can't be bothered to learn the basics then I can't be bothered to help you (rant over)

recommended this to do
make a efs backup before first use efs pro or k tool
if u want to install a custom rom from recovery
go to recovery wipe data / cacche
then install from sd select the file and ur done
if u want to specifiaclly format it then u have option for that in mounts and storage but after that make sure u flash a rom in recovery
NEXT TIME PLEASE USE THE SEARCH OPTION

Go into cwm recovery, scroll in options for the wipe
For format, it is under advanced settings

Hi i just installed the latest I9300XXDLH9 jb update and have read that it can be rooted. So i tried via odin using cf-root 6.4 and all seemed to go well apart from superuser never installed so i installed manually but when i check root checker it still says i am not rooted. Any ideas? if not can i go back to stock? Thanks
You can ALWAYS go back to stock - reflash in ODIN....
Personally I'd try root explorer and try to copy a file in system directory (after making system writable).
If I didn't have root I'd then rerun ODIN and cf-root. Can't hurt....
If root still evades me the I'd go back to the thread and see what they suggest. Also leave post as others may have had the same problem...

I had no problem rooting I9300XXDLH9 with cf-root 6.4 retry flashing.
tried re running cf 6.4 but superuser still wont work and i tried going back to stock but my phone gets stuck at the samsung logo. I had to put jb back on to get it working again. I think the reason i cant get back to stock is because i cant reset the counter using triangle away because superuser wont work.

Stock has nothing to do with the above .
Boot recovery factory reset flash stock rom via ODIN .

Have tried factory reset. I can get into recovery no problem but when i try to select factory reset or any other option by pressing the home button it doesnt do anything

Hello Guys,
I have been trying to fix my phone (SGS2 I9100), what happened exactly all the sudden the whatsapp app crashed and the phone needed to be restarted so i did since then the phone is stuck at samsung logo, i flashed a new kernel siyahv6.0.1.2 but still wont boot AND yellow triangle showed like it getting worth.
I can access the recovery (CWM-BASED RECOVERY V6.0.1.2-SIYAH) and download mode, its JB 4.0 or 4.1 not sure .
What should I do now to safe my phone, or is there a way to recover my data ??
appreciation to everyone
I would flash Sammy stock 4.1.2 firmware with Odin to get the phone running first. Data can be retrieved may not be all but yes it can be done. If you're on 4.0.4 don't factory reset you're phone or format data.

thanks for the quick reply,can I retrieve my data before I flash the firmware?from where can I get the firmware?
I could not find stock firmware so I flashed cyanogenmod and still cant boot my device, what should I do now ?
Sammobile.com is the place to go for stock Sammy firmware mate. Flash that through Odin and once it's booted if you have boot loop factory reset but only if you flash 4.1.2 or 4.0.3 but never factory reset on 4.0.4 . As for the data you want..yes get that before you flash stock. Simple google search will tell you what you need to do for that. Few good guides on xda on how to do that.
