[Q] How to restore rooted galaxy mini GT-S5570 to factory setting?

hey i want to restore my rooted galaxy mini to factory setting, as i want to sell it. please help!
Ok, so you must unroot first. See the attachement. Then flash the zip in recovery mode. But I recommend you to flash an official firmware with Odin because your phone will be fully clean after this.

Yes mate, thats what i did :good:
You will not get ota's unless you do a full wipe so the csc will change to Germany
how to you change to German and is the original ee firmware available if I need to go back. Are everything okay with your phone with the new firmware and did you unlock yours like I did sorry for all the questions

Hi all, just as a confirmation to me being very new to this :
Using odin to flash this ee rom will still allow my device to get OTAs with the assumption that a full wipe has taken place.
Is the above correct?
Thanks a lot for your time

Hi guys please help. My n7000 is rooted and the ics 4.0.4 version is a rooted rom one. My software update button is missing. Have downloaded kies but its showing no updates. My question is that can i access kies and official samsung updates through this even though im rooted. Dont really want unroot for fear of bricking my device. Bit of a novice in this area. Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you so much. Not even samsung could tell me that.

It wan't send u any notification cause you'r rooted and u have -#su shell active so nothing official untill u flash stock ICS kernel and wait for update.
So you are saying that while rooted i will jpt get any official samsung updates? If i want official updates i must unroot is tuat correct? Or can i still update through kies. Getting confused now. Please help.

for the pass rooted phone still able to update via kies.
now not sure !still waiting for official 4.1.2 then will know the result.
Ok thanks. I guess its a waiting game as i heard n7000 get the 4.2.1 update sometime march.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
even though the phone is rooted or even a custom kernel is installed, kies detects the firmware and check if there is an update or not.. so it will let us know.. nothing to do with su shell and all.
kies will let you update as well.. but OTA wont work on rooted and custom recovery installed devices.
Ok great thanks. I shall have to wait which is something im not good at.

3 days ago I flashed ICS 4.0.3, rooted it with Philz kernel and attacked it to PC, opened keis, keis not only detected my phone, but also asked if I want to install new updates I accepted the offer, keis then upgraded my ROM to ICS 4.0.4, but I lost root. Super Su was there but Philz CWMR was replaced by stock recovery and Titanium backup told me to get out as my phone was not rooted. So I flashed Philz Rooted kernel again and got root access once again.
So, Yes keis will ask you to update firmware if one is there, but you "may" lose root.
Thank you that is very useful info. I'm already on 4.0.4 so will await the next update. Been informed that note n7000 users will get 4.2.1 sometime in March.

Hi another daft question. Phone was rooted when bought. I have installed rom tool manager from market and am using to alter my status bar. I have installed the ones I want and now assume I have to flash them to get them to take effect. When I go to do this its asking me what name my recovery mode is. How do I find this out. Thanks in advance.

[Q] S3 mini AMA2 safe root

Hello dear XDA Community,
since I got my I900 a while back XDA became my most valued page when I tried another ROM or simply when rooting my device and, way more often than I liked it, when something broke. So far a registration wasn’t necessary because I could find my answer anyway.
But since I got my new phone, S3 mini I got very cautious when it comes to changing anything on my device. I’d like to root it to start off but it seems I can’t find a proper way to do it for my phone.
My Phone
Model: GT-I8190
Android: 4.1.2
Bandversion: I8190XXAMA2
Kernel: 3.0.31-809600 [email protected]#2 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jan 9 16:20:48 KST 2013
Build: JZO54K.I8190XXAMA2
I’m from Germany and my carrier is O2 but the phone is not branded and has no SIM lock.
So to get back to business: Is there a stable and working method to root my phone via Odin (my preferred way)?
Thanks in advance

You can flash cwm in odin, then flash supersu.zip with cwm.
It will increase your custom binary download but triangle away take care of that.
Then I believe a factory reset will get your system status back from custom to official.
Otherwise you can just flash a prerooted Stock rom.
AW: [Q] S3 mini AMA2 safe root

Why wouldn't it be rooted if you root it?
Pre rooted firmware I8190XXAMA2 4.1.2 (OXX multi-csc, PDA: I8190XXAMA2, CSC: I8190OXXAMA2)
I believe theres a searchfunction in this forum as well
AW: [Q] S3 mini AMA2 safe root
Tank you very much!!
I did infact use the search and also found posts about rooting the s3 mini but never for the ama2 and this is why i opened this thread.

[Q] [i9000b] Update Android !

Hello everyone, I don't know anything about cellphones and i would like to know how do i update my Galaxy S GT-I9000B because i'm using android 2.1 and i want any new version but i can't find how to update it. HELP ME ! :crying:​
Hey
First you will have to root your device then flash a custom recovery..(Google it or check the XDA forum for your device)
After that you can flash custom ROMs like cm etc..
They are using latest android firmware..

You could connect your device to your computer and install KIES. I don't think OTA updates are still working.
