I recently flashed a ROM on my phone that was the new 4.3 stock HTC Sense 5. However, it unrooted my phone. Can I use an older root method still? OR do I need a new one? If so, where?
Thanks for all and any answers!
P.S. I already tried searching the forums to no avail.

Hi there,
I have yet to find a specific answer searching other threads, so I am posting here...
Is there a way to Root the updated Tmobile ICS update?
I thought about flashing another ROM like Cyano9, etc. but mostly I want to remove the crappy bloatware that is on the ICS update.
Obviouslly, I don't want to brick my device, but all I've seen on the forums are the Gingerbread versions of the root process...I've heard it won't cooperate with the same methods using it for ICS.
Thanks...
Same method to root for GB will work on ICS nothings changed.

Hi there,
Thanks for the help...I suspected as much, but I needed to check from those who tried and succeeded. I was looking at the site theunlockr.com for a one step root. Is this for real?
One more question - I've rooted my old phones before, but I always new where to get the original Tmobile file in case I wanted to revert back to the original ROM...does anyone know where I can find the ICS Tmobile ROM just in case I root and either it doesn't work or I decide to return to bloatware-central?
For some reason, I am more nervous to root this phone than my older ones...I'm afraid of a brick...
Thanks again!:good:

The only rooting method that's gonna work is the version via hasoons tool.
1. Unlock your bootloader
2. flash a custom recovery
3. Install SuperSu.zip
Once you're s-on, which you are, you're safe from bricks, since you can't change the files that would cause a brick.
The stock tmobile ruu is available in the dev section in the stock ruu/ota thread.

Thanks again for the advice...seems simple enough...I was working with the toolkit, ad when trying to get the token ID the script says it can detect my device.
I have it plugged in using disk drive mode...is that correct?

Hi Guys,
I just bought a new Galaxy S3 here in New Zealand and before I start using it, I want to update it to the latest version, I believe 4.1.2 and then root it, can this be done? whats the best option for me? I see the Galaxy Toolkit to do the rooting, is this the most popular/best ?
Also after rooted, can I still do the OTA updates or will I have to flash custom roms?

If 4.1.2 was not yet launched in NZ, then you will not get any update for your phone at the moment.
What you could do is, root your phone and then install the 4.1.2 version (Poland)(root is not required for flashing though). For rooting refer to the stickies in general section. Popular methods are CF-Root 6.4 (incl. CWM as recovery) or CF-Auto-Root (keeps stock recovery) (both can be found in dev. section).
After rooting you will not be able to get OTA updates though, whereas KIES should still work (but you will loose root if you update).
In addition, make sure to read all the stickies and guides for rooting before you touch anything! Especially the EFS backup procedure.
I hope it helps.
Rooting your phone voids it from getting OTA updates.

As said above 4.1.2 is still not available in NZ. So you can flash other ones (like Poland) if needed.
Also after rooted, can I still do the OTA updates or will I have to flash custom roms?

After rooting OTA updates will not work. But you can still get the firmware and flash them through Odin. This will remove root and will have to go through the rooting procedure again.
I feel samsung will release 4.1.2 for other regions soon and my suggestion would be to wait for that and then go ahead with rooting
You don't need to root your phone to install an official firmware!

Thanks guys yeah 4.1.2 does not look like its been released yet, I'll wait for it to come out then root cheers!
I used to wait for offical releases, then realised there was no need - the custom ROMs are far better than the official and much faster at new releases than regional Samsung rollout. They also get rid of the battery sapping bling most people only use the once.
If you are going to root anyhow, then the warranty isn't a concern.
Just had bad experiences with 3rd-party ROM's. Had a Desire Z and ran about 5 different roms, cyanogen, gingerbread and ICS variants, mimcry, ilwt, extreme mod, and none of them seemed to run very well after a few weeks of use. The stock ROM on this galaxy is flying like no tomorrow! especially after simply disabling the garbage apps

I'll admit that Samsung could teach HTC quite a few things about writing a good ROM, I'm sticking with customs of the stock jb 4.1.2 for now as it all works so well and saves me having to remember what needs disabling. I tried a few minimalist roms before sticking with the viking one.
I've got a 4.1.2 in NZ but that's because my phone bricked and they updated it when fixing it(4.1.2 supposed to have the fix for bricking)

I assume you are now on ICS.
Try ExynosAbuse, it's one-click.

No I didn't update it I believe it still to be gingerbread. Wasn't sure whether it would brick my phone, updating it whilst rooted.
This guide might help you. It has a separate section for Gingerbread.

Sorry, I thought you wanted to ROOT. My bad.
If you update via OTA/Kies you'll get unrooted. In case you don't wanna "touch" your device in anyway.

I uupdated my phone using Kies and it didn't unroot it. What can I do? I Still have superuser etc.
Flash a stock rom. There's CWM flashable versions floating around here somewhere (look in General/search), or you can get Odin flashable ones from the usual places (Samfirmware, AndroidFirmwares.net). Ordinary stock kernel in rom package will overwrite your rooted kernel.

I'm not sure how to flash roms. Reason I want to unroot it is because I want to send it back to samsung. Do you think resetting it to factory settings would work?
I have to return my phone to my work. I'm running 4.1.2 and no themes. I cannot remember which method I used to Root. I've searched but haven't found answer. A link to a thread would be great.
Thanks in advance.

this is what i used last time i had to trade up phones.
Matt's utility will take it back to complete stock via fastboot, but be aware that the RAZR has a built in root checker in the stock recovery. I've found no way to fool it even after fastbooting back to stock. It still knows that it was rooted at some point.
Hello,
I've just bought an fresh new HTC One X+ 64GB (last stock from HTC probably, it was very cheap , just 150€)
It bring the ROMv4.1.2 that I like very much
Somehow the phone gets updated via WI-fi to ROM v4.2.2
The reason why I post again this topic is because I've searched and searched to revert to v4.1.2 and always read the word Impossible!!!
The phone heats a lot, the battery lost capacity and I HATE HATE and HATE the ROM v4.2.2.
The question that I leave here to you guys, is really IMPOSSIBLE TO revert to Original ROMof my phone WITHOUT ROOT?
As the phone is quite new, I don't want to lose the warranty!
I've seen a lot of videos on youtube saying stock rom without root, but they use the fastboot, that it seam to be the ROOT!
I've rooted already my Samsung ACE2 and updated using Odin, but on HTC I'm quite newbie.
Can anyone help.
thanks in advance,

Hi,
Thanks for you reply
Just an additional info:
Today I've called to HTC Portugal, and received an very negative feedback.
Means that they are not able to downgrade to v4.1.2!!!!
This is annoying to me and unacceptable for me.
Why I can't get my phone back as I purchased?!!!!
I still on the way to press HTC Portugal, but seems to get some resistance.
I really like the word "impossible" in software matters!
HTC is giving me and different opinion now, at least in Portugal!
Can anyone inform if fastboot for HTC is the same has the so called ROOT?
Until now I've no certainty!
I've read posts saying "downgrade without ROOT" and using fastboot!!!
I'm afraid if using fastboot that lost the warranty!!!!

The thing is you cannot downgrade HBOOT ( the bootloader) and thus you cannot downgrade to 4.1.2
if you want to, install the android rev 8 HD rom, it is essentially sense 5 4.2.2, but i think you can set it to install without like root and xposed

Thanks for the direct answer
I was wondering that some how possible to downgrade!
Probably that's why HTC Portugal says they won't Downgrade! Not because they don't want to, but because is technically impossible!
Thanks
