How to unroot my verizon tab

Alright guys i have searched and tried and tried. Currently i am on dj11 with kernal version stated as 2.6.32.9 and right below it has [email protected]#3. I am on 2.2
So what ive tried:
-I used heimdall to flash back to stock but as you can see the kernal version says im still rooted although superuser app is not installed. This causes the update to fail
-I tried to use superoneclick method to unroot but it does not work
What i want is to be stock with no root and be able to update. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
FYI i also used all the thread procedures on the forum (gizmo ninja and how to unbrick tab)

Try using this stock unrooted rom. Link below:

i believe i tried that already and it still had the words "rooted" under the kernal version. It also didnt allow me to update. I will try it again.

Try this instead.

Flashed and guess what?? Didnt work. Kernal version still says 2.6.32.9 [email protected] Ugh!!!

Don't know what the problem could be. That has always worked for me. If you go to the "System-- About Device-- System Updates" does it give you the option to update? When I have restocked mine and set up a wireless connection it always tries to download and install the update.

Yeah it does. Goes halfway and then stops and has exclamation mark. I tried gizmoninjas method to update but still quits. I'm totally lost.

I don't know what to do. If it were me I would go ahead and grab the EC02 update from here: http://www.blackmugmedia.com/Android/GT/Mirror/Roms/CDMA/Recovery to Stock /
Flash that. You will have the latest official release, or you could get the VZW Leaked Gingerbread release from the Developers section. (That is what I am running on my VZW tab).
Maybe if you flashed the EC02 update and then used the going back to stock instructions it would unroot you. I have always unrooted using that rom and directions when I wanted to start fresh from a custom rom that didn't quite work like I wanted it to work.

I will give that a shot. The current gb leak is rooted. I did post asking to see if they (oldmacnut) had the unrooted version. Personally I like the rooted option but I do want to sell the tab and can't sell it rooted unless the person doesn't care. Bedside this issue the tab is fine and working properly.
Thank you so much for all your help. I will keeep you posted on the outcome.

Nope didn't work. Still rooted. I'm so over this hahah

There has to be. Wish it was like my Droid charge and just flash via Odin. If I can get the ginerbreak leak with no root I will be happy.
Or sell it to someone that doesn't mind its rooted.

There is a unrooted version of Gingerbread that you can flash with Odin:
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...w-sprint-2-3-4-ef01-rooted-updated8-15-a.html
I haven't used Odin, but if you are familiar with it you might have luck with this. I think you use 7zip to extract and then use the resulting md5 file in the One Package location. You might want to look there and get that file.

I'm gonna give it a try tomorrow. I just have to make sure if I flash under phone or PDA with Odin. Don't know if you know. For phones its PDA. Not sure with tabs. Thank you so much

I just tried this.
Unzip the .md5 file with 7zip, you will get an error about no proper ending or something. Take your zimage, cache, param, dbdata, factoryfs, recovery.bin and place them in the proper locations in Heimdall. Flash your tab and let it boot up.
You should have a fully functional gingerbread without root.
I just did it on my tab.

You effin rock!!! It worked! I now have non rooted stock gingerbread. Thank you for all your help and investigation for the right files. Youre awesome. Now time to sell this baby
Or i spent so much time doing this i think im attached now hahaha

Glad it worked the way you wanted. I went back to the rooted version of Gingerbread. Everything works the way I want it to so no reason to change (for now anyway).

[DEV] Bootloaders

This is a development question that I am certain some of you might have an answer for. What we do know is that the bootloader on Chinese i9100g's is locked and will block you from flashing "SBL, MSO, Modem," everything else can be mixed and matched if from the same platform.
Now assuming we have a way to avoid the lock and replace the bootloader, is it possible to replace the Chinese bootloader with another from India or Malaysia? or is this also somehow locked in the chipset firmware? I doubt that Samsung would bother to alter the product at that level for one market.

Modified CM9 kernel

We've been looking for a way to replace it for a long time now to no avail. If there was a way, a lot of people would be frantic to try out the leaked ICS from China when it first got posted.
Having a Chinese phone myself, I can deal with the bootloader, since everything else is basically changeable through some methods, whether it's through Mobile Odin, or CWM.

I've been stuck with the leaked bootloader in order to use ICS, it works fine but I know there is some kind of backdoor the Government has mandated to avoid a repeat of the so called Jasmine revolts, working at ZTE China has given me a little extra information.

Galaxy Tab 8.9 Dangerous odd behavior??

I hope some one can help. I have never seen anything like this. I have an 8.9 GT-P7310 and its acting very strange. I have tried to Odin anything I can from stock ICS to custom recovery to stock honeycomb and stock recovery. Everything, I repeat everything fails. It looks like it will go and fails everytime. In this case I would look at it as a brick with the firmware upgrade failure message but no. All I have to do is boot it into recovery reset and it turns on. I just cant do anything :crying: Also the tab flickers red whenever I make a selection but I am out of ideas here..
I have a new Sam cable and tried all Usb ports

Make sure to turn off all the developer options. Sounds like you have USB debugging and 'Screen Flash' turned on ... at least.

Thanks for the quick reply.. Ill check it right now and report back
Edit: Odin still fails

I feel like it has a corrupted bootloader or so,
how to circumvent this?
well maybe if you use the pit file to repartition the tablet then install a boot loader from an old and complete stock honeycomb would make a difference.
you can check sammobile for a stock complete honey comb and check additional downloads for a PDF to describe how to flash using ODIN and another link to the 7300 and 7310 pit file to repartition.
after all I am not sure, but I am rather giving a shot, so you might wait for a more experienced senior user who can figure it out straight

I felt like I needed the pit file but wasn't sure. I will look for it but doubt that I will find. If you know where to get the pit file please get me the link. I appreciate it.

you can find the pit file at samfirmware if you search for the tab in "firmware and files"
But I'm really not sure of this. I'm just thinking with you, so my advice is to wait some time for a senior member who can help you without guessing, because they may render the tablet unusable, so it might be abit dangerous to go for these guesses right now .

Ok now i am screwed tablet stuck in download.
Doesnt work with the pit file either.

Have you flashed the pit file with repartition ticked?
Also after repartitoning, have you flashed the bootloader of stock honeycomb then flashed a stock honeycomb for your tablet? (@ PDA & CSC)?

Have you checked the service manual for changing the software for the tablet on samfirmware?
I read that after you flash the pit file, you should remove the battery then connect to odin and flash the bootloader, PDA, CSC files from a previous complete stock.
Please read the service manual carefully from samfirmware to check the steps accuratley.

Yea I tried that just now. No luck... I am going to read the instructions but I am sure I have done everything correctly.
Edit: I am doing everything correctly. Only the Pit will flash successfully. Since I have flashed the pit I have lost my stock recovery. Before I used to just factory reset and turn it back on now I cant..

[Q] P1000 Brick

Sorry for the long thread but please read and help me !
Sorry moderators i tried looking for my post didnt find where you placed it. so making a new and clear where i'll tell what i ve done to my tablet.
firstly my p1000 was froyo 2.2 and i didnt checked that and tried to upgrade it to jelly bean, that was the first stupidity of my.
while doing that i faced many problems and concluded that it was brick.
how ever i had rooted my phone with super one click root..
later when it was bricked i again rooted it with cwm recovery by help of cmd.
then it was more complex, i then tried to roll it back and installed the firmware but the firmware i installed was wrong region again it went more complex.
then from some thread, i again used odin and pit it and installed some other firmware. that didnt work so i did something with heimdall suite as it was instructed and mess something with zImage thing.. all failed.
now i ve finally came up with no solution and thinking what the mess i ve done.
please help me.
now odin dont recognize the phone.
the phone is booting till the samsung welcome screen i can also listen the sound.
it also goes to cwm recovery screen and also goes to downloading screen.
please tell me a way so that it can go to normal i am happy with 2.2 froyo only.
tell me a way, please give me download links so that i dont mess it again.
remember odin not accepting it, i ve charged the phone fully and also installed the samsung usb drivers but its not helping..

but i dont know which modem file to copy.

You can extract modem.bin from the rom that you have downloaded.

i did that... but still not able to make any calls. my sim card is working on other phone though.
have tried flashing modem.bin and also tried copy and paste in vendor folder.
but its not working searching all over the forum but i dont know what to do

Settings>about tablet>Status> Service state : out of service / Mobile network state : disconnected / MDN : unknown

Where did you get the modem.bin from and which network you belong to.
I recommend starting by looking at gb stock safe, when you unpack there are a few modem.bin
Start with JPZ modem and stick it in /radio/ if latest cm10
Or to /system/vendor for slightly older one.

in gb stock safe, it was jpz modem file.. which i used to flash and it was flashed very well and there was no problem in anything.
later on when i upgraded for 4.1.1 it was also installed normally with no problem the only problem i encountered is i cant make any calls from it.
even the imei number is changed of my phone.
i also sticked the file in system/vendor .. i tried with the both file the jpz which i had from gb stock file and another from the firmware.
well now i trying to go for the latest cyanogen 4.1.1 hope everything get normal in it, and try to stick file in radio.
can you tell me particularly which file to copy and where ?
in gb stock jpz worked fine.. should i go for it ?

yes the same jpz modem.bin file into /radio/modem.bin
the one in the CM10 might be corrupted, who knows.

[Q] i9305 Unofficial cm11

Hi!
I'm wanting to install that unofficial CM 11 for my international I9305, already running TWRP 2.6.3.0 on it and apparently i need to use the custom recoveries posted in the thread.
My question is though, how do i flash the .img files using odin, or an app, or is it possible to do with twrp itself booted up into recovery ? i've searched high and low, and just can't seem to find a straight answer - so here i am, bear with me, i'm tired

You can download an app called mobile Odin and use that to flash your .img files just using your phone!
You need to rename it to recovery.img for it to be detected though!

If there is another way than that, I'd appreciate it. I cannot purchase apps in the app store currently. So that's unfortunately a no go

As you dont have a clue about anything suggest you start by reading the basic faqs and guides before bricking your phone .
Basics read first.

Critical you read the first two posts .

Didn't see that thread at all until earlier as a second glance, i got plenty of clue though.
But an overload of information all pointing in different directions, each of them seeming to be correct is making me a little cautious when all i want is to know how i manually update my TWRP with the provided recovery.img file in that post, but i'll take my answer there instead for help.
