You want to unroot... which you don't need to to upgrade! Use Odin! Btw, do some reading around here! READ READ READ! AND USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!
but when my phone operator want to make an over air update it download then it say cant upgrade because unlocked bootloader.
I have only root it with abyss kernel. for some apps.
OTA needs stock recovery so stock kernel .. you need to flash stock rom using pc odin or mobile odin to install OTA updates
ok.

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
I have Xperia Z1 UB with CWM installed kitkat .681
I got OTA update to .757 and I want it so much because of the known sound issue
It's just about 10 MB and it's perfect for me due to my slow connection.. I can't download any FTF or flashed zip (about 950 MB)
what I have to do to install the OTA update successfully ??
delete the CWM and relock my phone ?? any solution ??

DO NOT ACCEPT OTA UPDATES WITH AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER

absolutely man I'm not going to update my xperia with UB.. so I want to relock it and a way to uninstall CWM then I will update as stock kernel
why not just install one of the pre rooted stock roms from the development section.
Just flash it..
absolutely no need to relock, flash a stock kernel or anything...
all you will have to do is flash back your choice of custom kernel afterwards.

What ROM version are you on? Unless you're on a intact NB4 ROM, you can't flash the NC2 update, it will fail the file checks.
If you're on MLG or one of the JB ROMs you can just flash back to one of those if your base installation is damaged/corrupted. This is assuming your bootloader isn't A3. If it is, you can only flash the MLG ROM with the A3 bootloader, or have your phone completely restored by the Samsung people at Best Buy.
If your base installation is damaged/corrupted/etc... on bootloader A3 you will not be able to flash the update and you will need to either warranty the phone or go to Best Buy and have them do a full restore on the phone.

Dear all,
I have rooted my device which is running 4.3 (c5502) (build number: . 101) with towelroot. Now i need to install any custom ROM. I came to know that it requires to install recovery first before flash any ROM. I stuck there..Can you please guide me. I didn't unlock my bootloader yet but I had my TA backup with me.Thanks in advance guys.
whatever u need to know is already there. just search for it. if u expect to be spoonfed then you really shouldn't mess with your phone
The thing is, do we really need to unlock boot loader to flash custom roms, or can it be closed just with root and recovery?
No one tryed it till now I think.
Greetings.

Yes for flashing custom Roms the bootloader must be unlocked and a recovery must be installed however if you want to flash a stock based Rom unlocked boot loader is not needed. Just Root and Recovery needed for flashing the stock based Roms. Correct me if i am wrong.
Is this possible or do I need Odin on PC to flash the stuff?
I'm new to rooting.

You will need to downgrade to nce if possible, download towel root then flash back up to 4.4.4. There is a thread in here on how to do it but i can't remember what it's called
I'm sorry the question was incomplete. I meant to say is this possible from just the phone or do I need odin on a PCto flash
Yes search for flash fire , you will findthe thread you're looking for
