Hi everyone, today I've obtained XXBLFB by OTA on my samsung Galaxy s3 and before I was in lf2 with CF root (last version) .
Since I've updated I don't have superuser rights anymore on some applications, and finally I want to unroot my device, but SuperUser app is still on my phone, and the phone status is : Custom .
I was okay to flash stock kernel but I don't have it, there's only roms , if I re-flash the rom will the root delete himself ?
Because I just get the rom by ota and it's still here .
Please help :laugh:

You have to root your phone again with the latest CF Root and install TrianleAway 1.51 and reset the flash counter and reset the status. After reboot go in the SU app and delete root and reboot.
Ok thanks i'll do that , but CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.zip is not downloadable right now ? chainfire website isn't working ,do you have this file please ?

if you are unrooting for waranty purpose, just unrooting and unistalling root apps are not enough, you have to flash the stock firmware through ODIN, after reseting counter with Triangle Away. Samsung service center can make out by simply booting your phone, since T-Away can not reset the status of your phone showing "modified" in the status of the phone in about phone menu,
so just follow the steps for these mentioned by Chainfire in his CF-root thread
ZACQ8 is right, just hope your up to flashing with Odin.
Here is a tutorial how i did it:
If you want to use Odin first download a stock firmware from www.sammobile/firmware, pick the rom of your country and download it.
Extract it once from .rar to md5 file.
Readup a bit, it isn`t hard but there are a few things you must know:
1. Enable usb debugging on your phone
2. Go into downloadmode (volume down + power + menu all at the same time)
3. See if IDCOM light up yellow and in the left bottom window it says added when you connect your phone to the pc.
4. Unzip the downloaded file ONCE into a .tar or md5 file if you haven`t
5. Place that file in the PDA section.
6. Do not tick anything, only f.reset.time and autoreboot should be ticked.
7. Start
8. Rebooting automaticly.
Close Kies, also everthing Kies related in task manager before flashing!

I don't really understand, (i'm french) will I be able to totally delete root on my s3 or not ?
Chainfire website won't work
Before with my galaxy s2, event it was root in every firmware, I've reflash a stock firmware and warranty worked, impossible for S3 ?
and, btw I don't have any triangle or other thing, I just have flash counter
edit : finally i'll do that :
"- Use Triangle Away to reset the flash counters, and pull the battery immediately after rebooting starts
- Boot into recovery and perform a wipe, and pull the battery immediately after rebooting starts
- Go to SamMobile and get the stock firmware for your region
- Flash that stock firmware on your device
- Let Android boot, go through device setup (without doing any logins) until Android is fully usable again
- Reboot
- Wait at least 10 minutes
- Check Settings->About device->Status and make sure Device status is not "Modified"
- Perform another factory reset
- Boot into download mode and make sure the flash counter and system status are all set to official"
Thanks

Dude, as you told before, when you updated through OTA XXLF2 to XXLBFB your root access already desabled, your phone is no more rooted now,
tell me what you really want now, do you want to root your phone again???
EDIT : yes you have to follow the above steps to get a fully factory fresh phone...
I had to re-root because I need to use triangle away, but I want to clean my phone ,no more root, I will follow the step below
Thanks !
In fact: I tought it was impossible to get back my warranty
Thanks for all ! :good:

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

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)

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

hello. i have a problem regarding my galaxy i9300. before this, i already rooted my device but i unroot it again and install stock rom because
i think it is more stable. but now, i want to play heavy game and need to use chainfire3D and i want to root again.
my problem is, i follow all the step to root using cf-root and odin. the odin said it pass. but when my device reboot, i cant find
superuser and there is no CWM. then i try to check my device at about phone, it said already MODIFIED. but when i tried to instal any app that
need root, it cant be open because it says it is not root yet.
help.. i just dont know how to fix this. if i want to flash stock rom, the binary counter must be 0, and need to instal triangleaway but also need root access.
sorry for my bad english.
Same problem
I have also found that I have the same problem. Following a successful root and install of CWM prior to installing the OTA XXDLI8 jelly bean firmware I can now no longer root or install CWM, despite odin reporting a 'pass'. I have tried several versions of CF-Root-SG3 - versions 6.0 and 6.4 without success. I cannot find any other reports of this problem. What am I missing? The phone otherwise works perfectly.

Hi
I guess you have to do it manually. All you have to do is to follow these steps here: http://mobilecon.info/install-clockworkmod-recovery-and-root-samsung-galaxy-s3.html
and you should have CWM working on your recovery
I hope this helps! cheers!
i already do this but still nothing change. but actualy this problem already solved. this problem occur maybe because i update the stock rom .maybe they put something inside the update file so that we cant flash a cf-root file.
i just flash the stock rom back although the binary counter is not 0. then a lot of thing will be unstable (maybe because of the update). then after flash stock rom via odin, i flash the cf-root. then i got all the SU and CWM. now i can flash all the custom rom.
by the way, thanks..

Hai there,
I've problem with system status in download mode, on rooted stock xeo jb rom on my gt-i9300.
System status: Samsung official - custom
First problem appears after updating system to jelly bean, cf root-ing and using triangle away - system status remains as listed above.
I've readed, that the problem isn't root, but custom recovery installed with cf.
So:
I flashed rom again, and rooted using s3 toolbox - clear root, without flashing reco. Used triangle away and... nothing. Still Samsung official - custom is showed.
Halp.

Hey, thanks for your reply!
I knew this trick before, but unfortunately, on jb it doesn't work for me. Today i followed those steps again:
Factory format - flash via Odin - flash root using s3 toolbox (w/o recovery) - TA - factory format
And still system/binary status is Samsung official - custom
note that factory format has been made by code.

Why not follow the steps i gave ..
Run TA
Flash STOCK firmware and factory reset after .
Possible of my method does not work its the root program you use .
Also see post regarding rom counter not resetting posted in the last few days .
jje
Does this method works with cf root?
After flashing rom and rooting shouldn't I use triangle before factory reset?
Send from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 2 & Swype
Repeat
Run TA ( you will obviously need to be rooted and i have no knowledge of any other root method bar CF Root )
Flash stock rom via Odin .
Reboot
Factory reset
Check status .
jje
Followed your steps - still the same :<
could you give me link to thread you talking about?

Stag I could be wrong but if you follow JJEgans steps you should be fine but the second u apply root after your fresh install youll get a custom status again. Also if your using mobile odin pro to flash stock rom youll more than likely have ever root selected and again this will keep the custom status as your newly flashed rom will have root.(i.e modified so custom)
That's the problem, on ics i could have official status with root, and working OTA, even with modified nfc.apk to trigger nfc while screen was off, just used TA...
On jb, after flashing cf or other root w/o custom recovery neither factory format and TA works... TA just resets flash counter and system status to Samsung official, but binary remains "custom", so automatically OTA stops working >.<

Hello Devs
This is a quiestion Type thread to share ideas and solutions to Unroot Galaxy S2 Plus I9105/P.
I have tried odin to flash stock firmware for unrooting but odin failed to do so.
Errors When i select PDA(.md5) File downloaded from samsung-updates.com>>Incorrect Parameters
When I Select .tar file by removing md5 extension.>>Odin communicator has stopped working.
Note that i used triangle away to reset bin counter but after that using above method I am unable to restore to factory version.
Thanx
Have you tried to unroot in superuser app? Go to settings and press unroot
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S II Plus I9105P
ROM: Babba ROM
unrooted but stock recovery cant appear
i want to remove cwm and put stock recovery.
Ok. Then I don't know what to do. Maybe there is some same kind of topics for other devices.
Unrooting is easy.
The link below is a unrooting file, just flash it in recovery via CWM recovery. Then it will automatically uninstall busybox and superuser. If it doesn't work or are there any questions you want to ask, feel free to leave a question or PM me.

I don't think your warranty will come back since you have already rooted it and the warranty is gone already. But either way, congratulations on your success.
Derp.
You can just download the stock firmware and flash it via Odin...
