I recently installed the ICS leak from Rogers on my Motorola RAZR XT910. After it finished installing, I attempted to remove root, which to my knowledge, I *half* succeeded in. BusyBox and Superuser are still present on the device, although no root apps are able to obtain SU permissions. I would like to know how to remove the whole root. Normally I wouldn't have any trouble, but unrooting (which I did before on Gingerbread) seems to not be going so well on ICS :/
A quick response is appreciated
Root again with my tool run SuperSU and press Full Unroot
It'll unroot and remove all root stuff.

Hello Pedro!
Bro Im sorry, km not sure to understand when u say "root again with my tool...". Which tool? I try to look on ur profile but didnt notice anything linked to a "tool". I looked on... anyway I found nothing. Can u give more details?
@dral29, I think when Pedro is saying about his tool, hi is refering to this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710871
Pedro, I've one XT910 which I've bought on China and it came with the Middle East version. I succeedec doing a root on it, but I didn't find a way to make a backup of my Stock ROM.
The root I've done is with a software named "Superuser v.3.0.7 (41)", which full version is on the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/....elite&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd)
The root is working properly, bur I'd like to have a backupt of my Stock ROM just to try another ROMs. Also, using SafeStrap to change ROMs.
Anychance for me to unsintall this SU and install yours?

Just to summarize, there`s a wayf for me to get my phone in the exactly same way as it was when I bought? Actually, it had a GB then I`ve received OTA ICS. I tried to make a factory reset, but didn`t work. I`ll appreciate if exists a tutorial.
I got it. I`ve made the unroot with another app and then, re-rooted with your app, now all works fine.
Regarding the safestrap, is it the best way to manage different ROM`s?

ODIN. Make sure you use the .tar image appropriate for the base that you were on.

Just make sure you use the mdk tar file. There's instructions in that thread as well. Make sure you root it soon after restoring it and freeze SDM with Titanium Backup asap. Don't want to lose that boot loader

Well I'm not really sure what your saying... I think you mean recovery?
As far as recoveries your choices are TWRP or a version of CWM.
Odin is just the tool we primarily use to flash stock firmwares back on our phones as well as certain recoveries like Philz (cwm) .
I'd say just load up the MDK stock firmware using odin.
Root the phone.
Freeze SDM
Then for sake of easiness use ROM manager or Goo from the play store to install your recovery.

Ok as long as you have the correct tar file that goes with your i9505 s4 you'll be good. You can still root using that root method and install a custom recovery.
I'm not familiar with your phone model and the builds , tar files. So just make sure your flashing the right one in odin.
If you have any doubt find the forums on here specifically for your phone and ask someone. Please.
Try switching out your USB cable and also make sure you have the Samsung USB drivers installed.

Device: Rooted Verizon Galaxy S4 (MDK).
1. Wiped/Formatted internal storage via TWRP
2. Rebooted back into Recovery
3. Flashed new ROM
4. Flashed GAPPS
5. Rebooted phone and setup new ROM.
6. Worked great.
7. Rebooted phone
8. Stuck on Samsung Custom Screen
I'm able to boot back into recovery, just not sure what to do now. This happens every time no matter what ROM I flash. I have a feeling I effed something up by wiping internal storage. Just need to know how to fix. Thank you very much in advance.

If nothing you've tried so far has gotten you past this issue have you tried using Odin no wipe to start over?
Also what ROMs have you tried? Have you tried any custom kernels?
Is your recovery up to date?

I thought ODIN No-Wipe was for non-MDK?
Vanir and Carbon are the ROMs I tried.
I haven't tried custom kernels, nor do I know if TWRP is up to date. I'll check those out, thank you.

No Odin is for all our S4's no matter what build. Here are the MDK files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2289325
I'd say first though to update your recovery. Then I always use KToonsez Kernel myself with every ROM I run and can say I've never had an issue . I have seen a lot of problems like yours that were kernel related and one way to test that would be to flash his kernel ( KToonsez ) after the ROM you've already tried before.

I don't think freeza 's stockish NH7 will work, it will remove the twrp recovery, and replace it with stock one. Which you cannot replace without a PC.

Can't you use freeza's rom then use Flashify the recovery or Mobile Odin Pro?
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
Now you might want to reconsider going to 4.4.4. You need to read up, there is a lot of problems with this update. The main complaint is a loss of signal strength. The other problem is that the 4.4.4 backup will have personal info in it, most people will not give that up. If you can get your hands on a backup, you will have to download it to you device, move it to your sd card twrp backup file. Now once you try and restore the backup, you will end up with a md5 mismatch error. To correct this, you need to get a root type file explorer like root explorer, then go to the backup file that failed and click on it. Now delete the nandroid.md5, and click to add a file and reinstall another nandriod.md5 file where the old one was, check permissions. Ok, try the backup file again. This time the system will ignore the empty nandroid.md5 file and install the backup.

If I had twrp I would give you the back up but im running cwm
If someone would make a backup then full wipe make another back up post the clean backup he would get what he needs and you can delete and restore the one with your data its a great idea for the ones to get the full update with out having a computer
Plus ive had no luck flashing from flashify rom manger rom toolbox theres some problem thats why goo.manger does not support our phone

My clean flash didn't work as you know J. I did a dirty flash after a nand restore and it's running great. I noticed I am able to write to the extsd now for backups. Will continue to test. I am on firmware 1.32.651.17. Using TWRP 2.8.6.3 from Captain. With the beta SU v2.48.
I’m unlocked with TWRP, can test any time!
One thing I noticed with the dirty flash, when usb debugging is on, my pc doesn't see the phone. With it off, I can transfer files. It does charge either way.

Tried another clean install this time from the internal storage. Still had the same problem during setup. Seems setup gets interrupted and restarts setup again. It's a continuous loop. Almost like a bootloop with out the rebooting. You can tell processes are running in the back ground. Because when you turn off the display and back on again, in lock screen I am getting emails and apps are updating text are coming threw and voice mail.

I'm in the same boat. A completely stock rom would be wonderful. My backup somehow got corrupted and fails to restore.
