Can some one indicate me a good tutorial to remove root and any trace of it, so I can get my warranty back?

Just flash it with stock rom
(There is one thread in dev section where it shows how to unbrick )

So I just need to flash? No wipe before or after?
No...its not flash via cwm...just search for the "smartflashtool" in forum and flash through it
I think its in development section

Hey guys, I've seen a few threads about this but its not really answering my question properly so I hope one of you can...
I am currently on the NOVA ROM V8 and I want to return back to the LG Stock ROM, what is the easiest and safest way to do this?
Thanks,
TomByrne94
By the kdz method. Look over at the Optimus Black development section for the UPK thread, it has everything you need.
You will lose your apps though, unless you back them up with apps like titanium backup

Any chance you can provide a link? Theres a thanks in it for you!
Is UPK = Update Kit? If so just say.
Could I not just do a factory reset?

No. You must flash a stock firmware.

By the way... Can Titanium Backup restore applications data, when phone is unrooted?

yup upgrade kit. read the KDZU guide in it.
but first of all, you will need to get your stock firmware http://luivit.altervista.org/firmwareP970/
I've seen on the xda forums that some people have 'extra' toggling buttons at the top of their notification drawer(hope it's the correct term, 1st three months as Android OS user), My friend's S3 has them by default too, does the Note have it? or is there a need for root/custom launcher; since S3 has a newer rev of the Touchwiz Launcher. If possible, i would like to avoid rooting!
What the phone currently has, from stock is just 5 buttons at the top, which are Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Profile, Screen Rotation, Power Saving.
Wish to add: Mobile Data toggle/ Sync toggle (dunno if there's any more available)
something like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=1620625
^yeap, that's it. but i have a query, it's my first time with an android phone, barely used for 4 months.
i don't get wat's flashing with CWM; does that require root? what exactly is CWM, apart from the full name?
does flashing that mod = voiding my warranty like what rooting does?
Bump. Anyone knows why the note doesn't have it o.o

You can use some app from playstore for extra toggles if you do not want to root but flashing this mod requires root and cwm.
If you are rooted, you can have 15 toggles without having cwm, here is a small guide- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30668303

To root your phone,you could simply flash a safe rooted kernel like Odin version hydracore through ODIN.
You will get yellow triangle and increased counter.But you can reset it easily with triangle away app by chain fire.A simple search would bring it up....

Thanks for the above confirmations/help provided.
One last query, how do I backup my current settings? I suppose the sequence is root, backup and then apply mod?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Bump!
Question in my above post in unanswered :x
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
when u root and apply a safe kernel like hydracore or speedmod.. u will get cwm thru which u can backup the ROM using the nandroid backup feature.
The best start is to get Rooted first.. then install the 15 toggles you want.. search threads and you will find a lot with different shapes and themes
guyz previously i was using lg p500 and i found a method to flash only custom recovery on it.
link : ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318750 )
Now i am using lg p970 n i m away from home so no computer with me. I just want to know is it possible to flash only custom recovery on lg p970.
If any one can test ,it would be of great help to all lg p970 users.
As i did for lg p500.
we need original partition file and recovery file.
using original partition file and renaming the custom recovery file to name as original recovery file. Flashing them both from flash tool used for lg p970 should install custom recovery without any changes to other memory area.
Is this possible ?
I think "lg extract" gives us partition n other files of system. is it ??
i havent used it. but hope some one of u try if its possible.
There is a cwm inject method on noob guide in general sections stickys i think.

Yes but if im not wrong using that method whole memory gets flashed. I mean flash only cwm recovery.

Yes u can flash cwm only. Look for cwm touch somewhere here. Redy made a flash script and the corresponding package with cwm touch in it. But you definitly need root, to flash it i think.

Does this method requires a rooted device ? Will it work on unrooted devices also ?

Is there a file that i can flash via mobile odin that would modify my quickpanel to show 15 toggles? I don't need additional themes. Just the toggles. I'm on stock german 4.0.4 and rooted. The ones i've seen require cwm. Just wondering if there's anything else that would let me use what i already have.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
You can use cwm.zip (which you have used to root device)
Thanks doc. I've don't have cwm. I've been using mobileodin to update my phone since 2.3.5.

Fing installation n root ics link on my signature, you will get it from there.
Just read how to root, here you have to use toggle zip in place of supersu busybox install.zip. Rest of method is same

Ended up installing cwm. Already have the 15 toggles. Thanks!

I havent seen this error yet. Try to convert kdz and patch it with cwm. In general section you will easily find "how-to" and there is appropriate guide how to do it on your own
sorry i wasn't home
yes as hbohd said, look for the big noob how to and convert the kdz info bin and fls
