Hello All!
I've been around for a while but this is my first time posting in xda.
I just got my Galaxy Note and I'd like to root it and install custom roms on it. My questions are the following:
1 Does my warranty gets restored once i revert to stock ROM and baseband after rooting? or there is no way to get it back after root?
2 If warranty can be restored, how do I backup my stock ROM and everything to revert to it when needed? I couldn't find the stock ROM for my country in the sticky thread of stock ROMs

Hello.
I bought Samsung Galaxy S Plus from e-shop 2 days ago but it came with orange home firmware 2.3.4 I9001BVKPB, which is without TouchWiz. Some people adviced me to flash the current firmware with I9001XXKPS Android 2.3.6. Before flashing, do i have to root the mobile? If i access the recovery mode after flashing, will it recover the old 2.3.4 firmware? Will i lost warranty? If i unroot the mobile, will i have back the warranty?
Sorry for these noobie questions, i am new to this.
Edit: Does this firmware I9001XXKPS Android 2.3.6 support Czech language?
1. Read the Flashing FAQ.
2. You don't have to root the phone if you are flashing stock firmwares. You need to use Odin in the Download Mode to flash the device.
3. You could flash to any version and revert back to original shipped version anytime provided you know what you are doing.
ya you will lose your warranty but you can flash back to a stock firmware and they won't even know you've flashed a custom rom or rooted your phone
How can I save my current stock ROM before user other ROMs? Thanks!

Warranty will be lost, if you do anything with the phones software or hardware, if you unroot nobody would recognize/notice it. If you dont need a new room, just root the phone

Here is something about root

2.Flash to stock rom is to return your rom to the manafacturer's rom when you purchased the device. It can be done via odin.

1. Unrooted rom means that 3rd Party Apps cannot make changes to System.
2.Flashing to stock Rom means reverting to your phone's original rom.
3. If you think that your phone is more vulnerable (There is nothing like that) .
4.Only Stock ROMS revert to original after unrooting , on other roms ... its a waste
5.Unrooting is done only when your device is rooted..

1. unroot mean, your device is not rooted. and you do not have privilege to write system file/folder
2. It means like re-install your device, you can do it with ODIN Multi Downloader (this is from Galaxy W forum and we use tass.ops
3. when or why? ya we need it sometimes, because root mean you void warranty of you phone, sometime your phone maybe broke. so you need unroot before you bring it to service center
4. No, it just remove the SuperUser and you still have your ROM. and it will make the ROM work not like it should be. it's better to flash into stock firmware of you want unroot your device
5. hemmm... unroot mean the condition of your device. or you mean Unrooting the rooted device? ya you can, read this

Hello
Just upgraded to a Note II and have sold my Note 1. The new owner wants stock rom, root and unlocked bootloader. Is there any guide for reverting? I could probably just flash a stock rom trough CWM?
I'm just a little concerned about the earlier problems with breaking the storage part on the phone.
you can use odin to flash a stock rom.
use this tutorial

Hi Folks,
Firstly, I genuinely apologise for having to post about unrooting but Im genuinely confused on the route I need to take.
I am currently rooted with S-ON running the Revolution custom rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023). Im wanting to take it back to 'normal' and unrooted as I don't feel I need it rooted as Im not noticing any gain from it.
I have TWRP Recovery installed too and I took a backup via TWRP before flashing the custom ROM - my carrier is 3/Hutchinson 3G
From looking about there are several ways to go with unrooting but I just really need clarification on the method which is most suitable for my situation.
Kind Regards
Sam
Hi,
i have an galaxy s5 sm-g900f unrooted (still on warranty)
Before I try a custom rom on it , I would like to backup the original firmware so i can restore it if something happen. I know some original firmwares are out there to download but I would trust my own one better.
I've searched a little bit but i just found some ways to back up just the data (App data +apks ....)
also i've found some method but they need to root the device first but i'm not sure the if i rooted my device and i backed up the firmware and when i restore it, it will be rooted or not.
does someone know a method to fully backup the firmware without root ?
Can't be done without custom recovery, which will void your warranty
The stock firmwares you don't trust, are identical to the one running on your phone right now
sammobile dot com & ODIN will restore stock
But if oyu are going to flash a custom ROM, then you'll need custom recovery anyway, and also void your warranty
Flash TWRP recovery, backup your ROM, flash what you want

Yea, It`ll be identical to how it was when you backed it up, (Speaking from TWRP full backup)
