[Q] Unroot Problems

I have a Samsung Galaxy S phone, specifically the mesmerize. I rooted my phone using the Superoneclick and I am not trying to unroot it by clicking the unroot button. But everytime i do, it gets to waiting for phone and then it freezes. Is there any other way to unroot, or anything i should be doing? Any input would be appreciated.

Flash any ROM and the root will go.

so if i flash a rom onto my phone, then the unroot will work? the reason i ask is my phone has been acting up so i figured i would just unroot it and wait until froyo was released from samsung.

i would go back to stock firmware. that will guarantee that everything is back to normal. But flashing to any rom will NOT get you updates from samsung. Roms are custom made and are made to stop your phone from receiving official updates from samsung. Anyone correct me if im wrong. But flashing a diffrent rom might just fix your freezing problem.

Thats what I am trying to do, is to unroot my phone in order to go back to regular firmware. The problem is that when i click the unroot button, it gets to the waiting for device and then it freezes. So i have no idea where to go from here, or if there is another easy way to unroot.

Providing you have no lag fix just leave the root app on the phone as the new rom you flash will delete it. Once you have your stock rom back on the phone the root app will be gone, then do a factory reset then it will be as good as new

I am having a similar problem I rooted with odin and now I have to send it in for a hardware warrenty issue. How do I go back to a stock phone?

Just pick up a stock rom from samfirmware.com with a pit file, and flash with odin, and you are good to return for warranty

Make sure you grab a stock rom that was designated for your phone's product code though. Some service centres may refuse warranty otherwise.

On / Off button not working good

Hello everyone,
My phone has had some annoying thing since 2 days ago, everything was fine and it just worked the way it had to, but now i have to press the on/off button atleast like 4 times to get the screen on, at very rare occasions its an 2 times click but mostly 3+
im going back to t-mobile to ask what their advice is, what is your advice?
How to minimize the chance they find out i had done root and unlocked bootlaoder ? ^^

Root will be removed after flashing any rom, as for bootloader, someone said flashing taiwan JB relocked theirs, whether it will stay locked when going back to euro is another thing. If it doesn't flash ICS and pray they dont update it

Also, if it's a hardware failure and you've bought their phone in Europe, they really can't deny fixing it because you have an unlocked bootloader and/or a rooted phone. Read more about it here, so you can go to them with all the information you might need

ain`t you pressing it hard enough? Mine used to be perfect, after a couple of months using it the button became faulty and now I have to press kind of hard otherwise it doesn`t work. But every time I press it hard enough it works.

Hardware
Me too

If someone as skills, can try to open the device and check how are the metalic parts that activate the hardware.
Its not hard but, take care! Its your phone, your choice.

[Q] Rooting gives you CWM?

So the title isnt all to clear, however I am very new to Android. I am wondering if rooting gives you CWM; however I do not wish to have CWM because then I have to flash to get rid of it and if i am correct that means I void my warranty. So could I root with Bin4ry's root method and then manually do what I want to be done without ClockWorkMod?
Thanks in advance and any replys are appreciated
Oh yeah I have a Xperia T!

no, rooting does not give you recovery.
Flashing roms DOES NOT void your warranty, only unlocking the bootloader will do that.
If you are going to root I recommend that you install CMW, otherwise its very difficult to do things manually. You need to ask yourself "WHy do I want to root my device?" and realise that installing CMW DOES NOT void your warranty.

Thanks, I might root later I wanted to just add the Acid Music mod. I'm going to leave it for a while and maybe root after I have had my phone for a year or so.

You were going to try and add that without CMW? wow!! How were you going to do that!
Plus, you will read in that OP that the only way to get rid of that mod is to restore a backup, which requires CMW, and most people have had problems with that mod. Personally I don't believe it works at all and if it actually changes anything then it ruins phone performance. or those who say it does not ruin performance I believe they are only getting a placebo effect.
The only true way of getting a better sound performance is via kernel level tweaks not by flashing these kind of mods.
I suggest you root (If you follow the instructions it is 100% safe) and install recovery. It has NO disadvantages at all. And you can restore your phone back to factory settings via updating by official Sony software so that no warranty is lost and no one will know what you have done

I agree 100%
I tried Acid Mod twice now.
Not only is it a waste of time but its also a good way to get stuck in boot loop.
If you do try it, you are definitely going to need to backup first.

PingPongRoot ***S6 Root Tool***

So I did some testing on this and it worked. Totally worked. Root without tripping KNOX. I did not develop this at all. Just trying to spread the word! Check it out!

Oooo. Really. I have to try this now.

Don't forget custom recoveries will probably still trip knox. I'm holing off on rooting until a few more people do it successfully without tripping knox.

Awesome. Now I kinda wish I had held out for something like this.

Used this method to gain root, worked perfectly fine. Knox still says 0x0, booting into recovery displays "dm-verity verification failed in recovery" but I'm not 100% sure what this means.

For what I hear this one does not affect samsung pay since it does not trip KNOX meaning your phone has not become breached. But I wait till someone with more info answer

I can almost guarantee they will have a root check for samsung pay to work. It will also most likely be easy to get around.

I agree and hope is like you say, but since I'm in Puerto Rico where everything get implemented later much later than US, I will not rush to try to use it here and in my case root has much more value since I can assure you much like 90% of major retailers wont have trained personal or will know what samsung pay is.
He I first remembered when I try to use my chip card and the employee was like, How do I use this, when terminal clearly says on screen please insert chip.

Just curious if any T-Mobile guys have had any issues using this. Still have deep sleep? If it doesn't, and you flash stock recovery to fix it, will that trip knox? Any other issues this root method solves vs chainfires method that trips Knox? This may be a stupid question, but if you want to return to stock and unroot to get an OTA or whatever, flashing stock file from sammobile in Odin doesn't trip knox even though it rewrites the boot loader and installs the stock recovery? Thanks in advance

I can answer one part of that question given I used this to root, I still have deep sleep. The only thing I did after rooting was wiping cache just in case I did have issues but I am unsure that was even needed.

I made a tutorial video for anyone that needs it:

So quick question guys:
If I root the S6 with the new tool, it won't trip Knox?
Once its rooted, would I be able to replace the lock screen with the one from stock android and replace the dialer with the google dialer? I love stock experience but I wanted a premium device so I went with the S6.
Thanks.

It *by itself* will NOT trip Knox.
Yes you can change the dialer and lockscreen but they may not work properly. Keep in mind that if you mess something up, the ONLY way to boot again will be an ODIN flash. It is dangerous to root and start playing with things and having the stock recovery. One mess-up and it is full factory reset for you

Any chance on getting this working on the Metro PCS variant? It should be the same method as the T-mobile sm-g920t

Is this method a guarantee to not be bugged by the deep sleep issue? I know it's been awhile since anyone responded here, but I am just wondering.

Unless you need Knox for work don't sweat that. I lost Knox on day one and have never regretted it
1-make sure you're using a good usb cable
2-Odin to stock, found in thread below

You got to say yes to super user

so i had a hell of a time trying to figure out how to get the files to were i can install them {sd card written on computer then put in phone to install off of.
But i followed those steps and they all failed.. also i think it is trying to load root rom before i get the stock back in

Did you install the freeze beast mode kernel? You can't root without changing the kernel first
