I have a Samsung device (SM-T870) and in concept I want to unroot it. In magisk’s official installation guide, it says not to flash stock AP after root. So how can I unroot by flashing firmware? Can I unroot that way?
You'll find better help posting in the appropriate forum for your device. As a courtesy, your post will be moved to the Galaxy Tab S7 Questions and Answers subforum.
As for your question...yes, using Odin to reflash the factory firmware should do the trick. It's highly recommended to perform a data wipe when you do this, so you'd use the CSC .tar, not HOME_CSC

Of course, but magisk guide says to not flash the stick AP. Do I ignore that?

Yes, because flashing the stop AP.tar overwrites /boot and /recovery with the stock images, meaning Magisk gets removed.

Yes. Since you're flashing everything at once, this shouldn't be a problem. The potential issue exists if you attempt to flash the AP.tar alone.
From the Magisk guide:
Never just flash only AP, or else Odin may shrink your /data filesystem size. Flash AP + BL + CP + HOME_CSC when upgrading.

Ah, thank you so much for clarifying. You are so helpful on this forum to me and other users!
Actually, once rooted device can not be unrooted again because during root process root triggers fuse and trip Knox in device...Therefore, device stays permanently rooted even if you flash and unroot with stock firmware.
I had rooted all my devices and "unrooted" them but mobile banking apps and some non root apps constantly shows root message even I flashed stock firmware again..

[ROOT/UNROOT/Custom Recoveries/Kernels/Roms] AT&T Galaxy Note ONLY!/ No Flash Counter
THIS IS A GINGERBREAD ROOTING METHOD, FOR WHEN YOU FIRST GET THE PHONE OUT OF THE BOX, THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH NEW OFFICIAL ICS.
This method is for people that have a AT&TGalaxy Note only and want to have root in the stock rom without tripping the flash counter only, For everything else look at the bottom of the first post!!
If you want root to flash a custom rom/kernel/CWM and you don't care about the flash counter and the warranty then this is not for you.
Go here for other root! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504218
Now I went ahead and put the files together in one zip to make it simpler, it contains the root zip, the odin and the samsung usb drivers, all the files needed in one download .
DOWNLOAD: Big File: 532mb in size
http://goo.gl/aq2Wl
After the download follow this steps made by capite.
Extract Odin but don't launch it, run the samsung drivers for your phone on the PC and install it. Then plug in your phone to make sure it works -- it seems to take a while to get everything working. If you get an error, try rebooting and try again. Also, try using the cable that came with your phone -- 3d party cables don't always seem to work. If it still doesn't work, try another USB port.
1. Turn off your phone and uplug it. Take the battery out of your phone, put it back in, and hold the volume down button and power button at the same time. Keep them held down until the phone starts buzzing and you see the Samsung name.
2. At this point you are either in download mode or the phone will tell you to hit volume up, at which point you'll be ready.
3. Run Odin on your PC -- right click and choose "Run as Administrator" just to be safe.
4. Plug your phone into your PC.
5. In the Odin screen, wait until one of the top boxes turns yellow and displays some numbers.
6. UNCHECK all the boxes except for Auto Reboot.
7. Hit the PDA button and navigate to mashi's file that you unzipped.
8. Hit start
9. wait until your phone reboots.
10. If it didn't work, try rebooting and starting from scratch.
11. verify super user app now present. Update super user app (optional).
If you want to go back to unrooted, download this .tar file and flash thru odin! http://goo.gl/BBdow
Thanks to Da_G !
Flashing back to stock thru odin by using the stock tar in case of brick will increase the flash counter.
Enjoy and hit the thanks button if it helps you.

Since this is a System root, will it replace my Rogers ROM with AT&T ROM? I understand Rogers ROM has more features that are disabled on AT&T (NFC, Tethering, some apps).

This will change the Rom and give issues to any other Rom besides stock AT&T rom when making root permissions.

i believe this method replaces the entire system partition so he will lose stuff like nfc. once cwm is working fully I'm sure someone will create a flashable zip that just adds root without replacing the whole partition.

Not sure how it's done, but the entire stock rom including nfc service 2.3.6 is still intact. There is nothing missing or unusable from the original LA1 rom. Also since there is no hard reset, user data isn't affected. Again, we need mashi or someone far smarter than me to tell us exactly how this works. All I know is that it does.

Why, you flash cwm thru Odin and cwm increases the flash counter so this method would be pointless if you're not worried about your flash counter, if you don't care about the flash counter then use DA_G method of rooting/overclock kernel, this method is just for the people that are concern about the flash counter and want to get root.

Yes you're replacing the stock recovery with a custom recovery, even when is available thru Rom manager as an official version of cwm, is still considered a custom recovery. Even the stock modified replacement recovery in here it will come up as custom when you flash it and will trip the flash counter if Im correct.

I assume this is doable via heimdall, correct? It looks like it's just a system image, which can be flashed with Heimdall.
Edit: Heimdall doesn't work on the Galaxy Note. Sad day.
When I follow the directions to root my device my entire computer freezes once I press start. This is happening when I try to root using Da_G's method or the method from this thread. All the help I can get would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

No, this is a system root to be able to have root on the stock rom and avoid tripping the flash counter, if you flash a rom I'm pretty sure you will loose this root, but if you are planning on flashing a rom and the counter is not a concern then you need the perm-root in DA_G thread.

Oh, I thought this method would allow root and flashing of roms without tripping the counter. So there is no fix for the counter?

Hi
I have rooted my SGS3 using the ALLINONE root from SGS3 Toolkit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488) and it works fine. About a month ago I got a notice about a firmware update and I installed it using kies. The root ofcause dissappeared but I used the toolkit to re-root the device. No problem so far.
a few days ago I got a new notice about another firmware update and wanted to install it using kies. Now however kies tells me that the device does not support upgrading (something with "initialising").
What can I do to get this firmware update installed?

Flashing stock rom wipes your settings. Make a choice, either get root and forget about Samsung updates or flash stock and forget about XDA, can`t have it both
Moved to Q/A
I am not in it for the ROMs but merely for the rooting. In general I like the stock-rom as it is but do need to have the device rooted in order to use some apps.

Last time, once you have root you can no longer install OTA`s, you can however upgrade witk Kies provided you have no custom kernel. You will loose root and you may loose all your settings. So it will be easier for you to download the new rom from sammobile and install it with Mobile Odin Pro and keep root and loose no settings and files.
I have the same doubts/problems...
Where do I find in SamMobile the ROMs? Are those the zip under OTA files?
Do I the use Odin? Is there a guide somewhere? (I did search and ended up in this post)
Cheers
P.S. I read on SamMobile something about not being flashable via recovery (correct?)
See my signature item 3 or 4 about Odin

Based on my experience you can take an update via Kies or OTA with root as long as the stock rom remains intact (no major mods). I have generally upgraded with a stock kernel. I have mostly lost root or at least had to fix permissions each time.
The settings have remained intact each time (titanium should take care of this any way)

You can download OTA`s but you can not install it as you have a custom recovery.
You can upgrade with Kies but you`ll loose root and you have to reroot it.
If you install the updated rom with Mobile Odin Pro you`ll upgrade and keep root, that is what i`am trying to say

Hi. I'm planning to root my S3 and wanted to double check what I've gleaned from the forums before proceeding as I haven't found a set of comprehensive answers. (I'm on Australian LH1)
I'm rooting my phone purely to use titanium backup and certain root only feature of Tasker so I'll use CF-Root 6.4 which I understand will leave the kernel stock but install supersu, CWM and CWM manager. I won't be installing custom roms or kernels at all. To be on the safe side I'll do a nandroid backup straight after rooting.
My question is: can I then unroot and restore my phone back to full factory stock using ONLY the unroot option in supersu? (I prefer not to have to flash a stock rom from non samsung sources if I don't have to.) Also I believe the flash counter isn't tripped in this case so I won't need to reset it?
In unrooting via supersu does this automatically remove the 3 "apps" or do I need to do anything else before and after unrooting? (eg delete CWM beforehand ans supersu afterwards? I noticed some posts where this was a problem).
Many thanks!
AFAIK unroot option in supersu is temporary and not permanent one... Use triangle away to reset your counter and then You will have to flash your stock firmware via odin.. It will replace the rooted kernel and custom recovery..
You have been zooo==>ted

Unrooting your S3 won't remove any root-only apps. But they won't be functional, as the can't get superuser permission to access root functionality. But flashing a Stock unrooted ROM that requires a Full Wipe will definitely remove your apps, and you have to rely on a non-root backup app to restore your apps and data.
You need to factory-reset your device anyway since the rom will show "modified" and thus your warranty void.

No.
The only way to go back to stock is to follow the return to stock guides in the General > Sticky roll-up thread. This is where all the important guides are so as per my signature, please always check there before asking questions.
There are 2 guides as stated. The second one goes into more detail about using triangle away.
Thank you and my apologies. Unfortunately my device doesn't support Triangle Away.

Kernel build date on NG3 is July 19 so the exploit has been patched. Can't root with towelroot since it needs a kernel build before Jun 3.

This phone will never not be rootable. It has an unlocked bootloader, so you can just flash the recovery of your choice, root it from there, then reboot and you're done.

And why is that? Unless Samsung has restricted the bootloader permissions or set a new qfuse to block a downgrade of this firmware version, then the OP could use Odin to install a pre June 3rd build of 4.4.2 firmware, which Towel root can work with.
The previous update was revertible by installing an earlier firmware (confirmed). And NG3 is probably revertible as well (unconfirmed) i.e. it will be revertible unless Samsung took explicit steps to block a downgrade.
Provided that the OP doesn't care about the Knox flag, then the suggestion to install a custom recovery and root from there is valid too.

Yeah, I did it via download mode.
So, what I did, I flash it via Odin in Download mode, and when it auto-reboots, I instantly hold Power + Pwr Up + Home in order to get to Recovery.
If I let it boot up first, it seems that recovery is overwritten by the stock recovery.
All good now =)

Works like a charm. But my WiFi is still buggy. I believe this is a known bug.

Hi i look bootloader file 5.0.2 to sm-a300fu
Samsung Galaxy A3000FU
I rooted my phone with KingoRoot and I don't liked this, so i "rooted again" flashing SuperSU. I don't know how but I bricked my phone. So the phone won't to boot up and when booting, Samsung Galaxy A3 logo goes yellowish and constantly reboots. I downloaded this firmware in your post and flashed with Odin and my phone working perfectly now! Thanks a lot, it works and saved my Samsung Galaxy A300FU!!
Sorry if my English is a little bit bad.
The TWRP 3.0.0.0 for the SM-A300F mentioned in this article also works on my SM-A300FU...
I just flashed it to test it, and it works! If you want to flash it on your SM-A300FU you can do it safely.
Will this procedure will not trip KNOX? I've read many articles that rooting using ODIN may trip KNOX.

Yes, it will trip your KNOX counter, you can see it in download mode by holding volume down, home and power buttons at the same time when your phone is turned off.

But I downloaded an app (EZ Package Disabler Pro) that disables all KNOX apps and services, will this prevent KNOX counter?

I think that this app is not helpful in this solution because it blocks KNOX only in system, but not in recovery and download mode. So you must enter the download mode or recovery to flash anything on device and it will definitely affect the KNOX counter.

Then how can I root my A3 without tripping KNOX?
