Hey guys,
I have rooted the GNote N7000 using CWM but haven't flashed any custom room. Still on official 4.0.4 rom. (Rooted as I wanted to put a ported Google Now app on it).
Now I want to do a factory reset. Is it safe to do so? Do I need to unroot it first?
Second, If i take it to samsung for repair under warranty, can i take the phone back in its current rooted (with official rom) status? Or do i have to unroot it first?
Many thanks,
B.
Root breaks your warranty. You have to unroot the note.
Btw you should move (or ask to some moderator) this topic in q/a section, or in general.
Dev section is only for custom roms, kernels and mods

You say you are rooted.. What kernel are you on ? if its the stock ICS kernel then its not safe at all to do a factory reset. First flash a safe kernel and then do a factory reset and then unroot by flashing the stock rom again to remove all traces of rooting for warranty
also as we dont know what method you used to root : go into download mode and check the binary counter if its 0 for warranty

Hi - when I purchased the Note (N7000) it's on stock 2.3 rom, then I updated it to ICS 4.0.4 via Kies (hence stock rom) and then rooted by going into CWM mode and flashed CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip.
All I did was rooting the phone using CWM, and I've never used Odin and flashed any custom ROM. I suppose I am on official Kernel? In the phone setting > about phone: it says baseband version: N7000XXLRB, Kernel: 3.0.15-N7000ZSLPM-CL901577
1. How do I flash a safe kernel if that is required?
2. How do I go to download mode to check the binary counter?
3. Do I have to flash stock rom to unroot? (I am not on any custom rom). If not, how do I unroot?
Thanks guys for your help! I got nexus 4 and am trying to reset this phone to then give my mom for xmas! Your urgent help is much appreciated! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
1. To flash a safe kernel you can either install using mobile odin or the Philz kernel zip file from stock recovery. This will be needed if you want to reset your phone as doing wipe of stock ics kernel is unsafe.
2. Vol down + power + home then Vol up to continue
3.to un root you can flash the whole Rom again using pc odin.

Thanks nokiamodeln91. So what i need to do now, is to flash a safe kernel, then reset the phone (by going to settings > backup and reset > factory data reset), then flash the whole stock rom to the phone to bring it back to unroot, correct?
2 more questions:
1. Where can I find this safe kernel to flash? Is it an official kernel? If it's not official, would that be an issue when the handset is set for warranty later down the road with an unofficial kernel?
2. Will flashing the stock rom back raise any flash counter? I will just use the latest stock rom from sammobile?
Thanks!
Once you flash a safe kernel boot into into recovery and do a wipe data factory reset.
Safe kernel ex. Philz, hydracore.. Look in the android original Dev section. You will find them
There are custom safe kernel and cannot be there on phone for warranty.
For warranty, you will need to flash the stock Rom using odin and will remove all the root add stock kernel back.
Will not raise counter.

Just wondering, if I have to flash the stock rom which will overwrite everything on the phone including the kernel anyway, could I not just skip the first step: (flashing a safe (unofficial) kernel to factory reset the phone),
and just do the flashing stock rom using odin which will just bring everything back to stock (including wiping everything out)?
No. Installing new Rom will not wipe everything unless you install a wipe Rom. And doing a faculty reset is not safe on stock ics kernels.

I am actually not very good at this and am worried i may brick the device. Can I just use the superuser app's 'fully unroot' option to unroot the Note, then take it back to samsung service centre for them to fully wipe my device and also load the latest rom for me? (They confirm that can do it for free for my note which is still under warranty)
Only concern for me is that, after i use 'fully unroot' feature in superuser, will samsung still be able to tell this rom has been modified and refuse to service it? I can confirm that on my device current flash counter is 0 (no), and it is showing as official samsung rom.
Uninstall apps that need root access and delete their folders before unrooting through superuser app.

Hello!
Quick question. If I root my phone on MJ5 and have to take it back during 14 day window (AT&T) is there a way to return back to stock or something else I need to do?
Thanks,

After you update to MJ5. DO NOT ODIN BACK TO MI9! It will brick your device. Only option would be permanent su removal in supersu and I am not sure that would put it back to official status.
Sent from my LG-G2 using Tapatalk
I just tried this, I rooted MJ5 with Kingo, then I went ahead and used SuperSU to fully unroot. Then I powered off the phone, booted into recovery (home + vol up) then I wiped cache and then did wipe data/factory reset. It rebooted, then I powered it off and went to download mode to check. Everything said Samsung Official and no issues with counter tripping or anything.
Hello everyone. It's me again now this time I bring you root access to the new OTA KITKAT for our S4
Disclaimer : I'm not responsible if your phone suddenly dies, explodes or your cat catches fire. Be warned.
SOME PEOPLE REPORT MOBILE DATA NOT WORKING AFTER THIS PROCESS SO ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS GO INTO YOUR APN SETTINGS MENU AND DO RESET TO DEFAULT SETTINGS AND WRITE YOUR CARRIERS APN SETTINGS AND IT WILL WORK.
This process has a lot of steps but if you follow them correctly you will end up with stock rooted 4.4.2 kitkat with super user and safestrap
Requirements:
If you already took the update and your system version is 4.4.2 keep reading.
1. Patience
2. Pwned Kitkat OTA Update link
3. Pwnedkernel for 4.3 Download
4. System image from stock 4.3 Tar file Download
5. Safestrap for the Galaxy S4 Active Download
6. Stock 4.4 Kitkat Kernel Download
7. Chainfire's SuperSu.zip Download
First after you finish downloading the stock 4.3 image extract it somewhere you remember and you'll see the following files:
BL_I537UCUBML2_2244695_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
AP_I537UCUBML2_2244695_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
CSC_I537UCUBML2_2244695_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
CP_I537UCUBML2_2244695_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
Put your phone in download mode and fire up odin. Under PDA select and flash
AP_I537UCUBML2_2244695_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
This will downgrade your system back to 4.3 because yes the new kitkat bootloader allows you to flash 4.3 signed firmware. Note: YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE BOOTLOADER SO DONT ATTEMPT IT
Wait until odin finishes flashing the firmware and when the phone reboots itself put it again in download mode. Now you must flash pwnedkernel.tar.md5 selecting PDA again in ODIN and wait for phone to boot up. If your phone gets stuck in the ATT logo then perform a factory reset .
Once your phone boots up enable USB debugging mode and root it using saferoot or vroot. GOOGLE it and you'll find it...Then you must install safestrap.apk
adb install safestrapactive.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now copy pwnedkitkat.zip and update-Supersu.zip to your SD Card and once that's finished open up safestrap in your device and tap install when that's done tap reboot to recovery.
Now you'll be at the safestrap recovery screen so go ahead and select install zip file.
IMPORTANT : DO NOT DELETE DATA/CACHE OR DO A FACTORY RESET BEFORE FLASHING THE KITKAT.ZIP OTHERWISE YOU'LL HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN.
Install pwnedkitkat.zip and once it finishes go ahead and install update-supersu.zip to enable root access.
AND FINALLY VERY IMPORTANT YOU MUST FLASH THE 4.4.2 STOCK KERNEL IMAGE USING ODIN AND SELECTING PDA OTHERWISE YOUR PHONE WONT BOOT
Wait for your phone to reboot, open up superuser and disable knox security.
Enjoy your rooted 4.4.2 S4 Active.
Credits : hashcode for making safestrap possible and the other amazing developers at XDA that discovered these exploits in the past and special thanks to Samsung for "letting" open these loopholes
If you are in official 4.3 ML2 see my next post.

Can't wait. When is the ETA? estimate, 10 minutes?
I just can't wait transforming my S4 to S5!
Edit: 40 minutes passed
Now it is probably close to me. I can feel it!
THANK YOOOOOOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you're currently running 4.3 ML2 official update and you want to upgrade to 4.4.2 but dont want to lose root then keep reading.
In the following steps I'm assuming that you're currently running stock 4.3 Rooted ...see my other guide...and that you didn't modify any system apps otherwise the update will fail and you'll have to restore using the Odin package for 4.3.
1. Download pwnedkitkat.zip from 1st post.
2. If you dont have safetrap installed then you must download it and install it.
3. Copy pwnedkitat.zip and update-superuser.zip to your sdcard
4. Restart your phone in safestrap recovery and install pwnedkitkat.zip and when it's done flashing install superuser.zip.
WARNING : DO NOT PERFORM A FACTORY RESET BEFORE FLASHING THE ZIP. THIS IS A MODIFIED OFFICIAL UPDATE SO ONLY SYSTEM FILES WILL BE UPDATED. YOUR DATA WILL BE UNTOUCHED.
5.Put your phone in download mode and flash the 4.4.2 stock boot.tar.md5 kernel and your phone will boot after a few minutes with root access enabled.
Enjoy.
Deleted. As I managed to do it.

You guys should try flashing the 4.3 Odin package and starting from there. I know I have a lot of modified system apps, so I'm likely going to re flash 4.3 just to make sure I'm stock. Thanks again sunderwear!! Good luck rooting everyone. I'll post back with an update in a bit!!

what about us 4.2.2 stock rooted users?
I'm sure most S4 Active owners are still on 4.2.2 rooted. What is the best procedure for us?
Should i unroot my phone via SuperSU then accept the stock 4.4.2 OTA update, then follow the method in the OP?
Or can i leave it rooted and flash stock 4.4.2 via Odin and then follow the OP?

I was in a similar position with being rooted on 4.3 ML2 (Sunderwear's method). I unrooted thru SuperSU, unfroze everything under TiBU, unchecked every module under xposed framework, reboot phone then proceeded to uninstall all my root apps. I then did a factory reset, then I flashed back to the stock 4.3 under ODIN and following that I took the 4.4.2 OTA successfully.
In the end it's up to you, but IMHO I consider it wise to begin anew with a fresh clean phone.
Yes if you get stuck after downgrading system you must do a factory reset otherwise you'll get stuck in the ATT LOGO.
sunderwear thank you I downloaded it kitkat zip file. I flashed it with safestrap and then I flashed suprSu then I reboot the phone won't boot ... I flushed with Odin the kernel 4.4.2 every things works greats

dual recovery is the "recovery" for your device. you can wipe data, cache,dalvik and etc on in. and using it, you can make nandroid backups, flash mods, and other fun stuff. To access it, turn you phone off. Then turn it back on, be ready because it should flash a GREEN led light suddenly, once it lights up click either up or down volume until the color changes. Down volume = TWRP, Up volume = Philz touch I THINK. not sure with the up volume. i use TWRP for backups and mods and roms.

Root Z1. KitKat 4.4.X
Hello everybody!
I am a new member here and i would like to share how i root my Xperia Z1 (C6903) KitKat 4.4.4. Version 14.4.A.0.108 with
stock Firmware and locked bootloader.
So, i have tried to root my phone with different flashtools, installed drivers etc etc but no luck. Finally i came over this page;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/newroot-z1-t2807092
First: I disabled any antivirus, malwareprogram it can give a false viruswarning and remove the file. I extracted the program Newroot to my desktop (How to find the program see above link).
On the phone: I went to settings/about the phone, scrolled down to the bottom to: Version, tapped version several times (for me 7 times) and a popup comes up and say you are now a developer. Now i set the developer options to ON and enabled USB-debugging. As default i also have enabled installation from unknown resources and unchecked the box Verifying apps. (Settings/SecurityUnknown resources/Verifying apps).
Now, I connected my phone to the PC with the USB-cable. Started the program Newroot from desktop, in the popup of the program i see that option "Check this to root your phone" is set by default. Now i just hit proced button and the rooting started, kept an eye on my phone and the phone rebooted. That was all and i had rooted phone with the superuser app in the apps section! :victory:. For some users first root does not work properly. If not sure you have completely root, check root with: Check Root. You can find it on Google store here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avaranasoftware.checkroot
If there is any error-messages, or if it says that busybox is not installed, use the Newroot program again to Unroot the phone instead. After unroot use Newroot program again to Root your phone. After reboot check again with Check Root, now everything should be fine. and both superuser app and busybox should be installed.
Good luck!
Note: Above is only a description of how i successfully rooted my phone. So i don´t take any responsibility for any eventual problems for others who root their phone.
Huge thanks to munjeni for this awesome program! :highfive:

If you unroot the phone you will lose recovery.
If you want to unroot the easiest way is just to flash a stock FTF using flashtool.
And rooting does not void the warranty, only unlocking the bootloader does that

Now a couple of days i used the Newroot tool. I have installed some utilities with functions that requires root. Root Manager app says i have the Clockworkmod and most functions in that program does not work, and Titanium backup pro complains that my CVM- Superuser program can cause some functions to work improperly, and i should update my binaries to SuperSU for the program to work properly.
I installed SuperSU and in recoverymode i got the question if i wanted to "install the untrusted SuperSU Zip and this can not be undone". I chose no because i was not sure what could happen so i reboot the phone and after that i was not rooted anymore, i checked with root checker and my programs that requires root did not function. So i rooted the phone again with Newroot and i got root again and all problems were gone, root access was granted to all programs that required root, except for root manager...
So i googled about Clockworkmod and that mod is rarely used for the Z1-model, most used for Samsung and HTC.
So i wonder if i backup all my data via PC-Companion, can i choose "repair the phone" and it will turn back the phone to it´s original state?
Or do i have to flash the phone myself with a stock rom? I have search for my stock rom everywhere and i cannot find it. But with PC-Companion is it possible to return the phone to it´s original state?

Successfully returned it to factory state. Pressed *#*#7378423#*#* and checked, and everything is exactly as it was when i was rooted, so i assume the Newroot prog did nothing to my phone except for rooting it and installed recovery?
Anyway, maybe i will root my phone again now when i know it is possible to turn it back to stock to get the benefits from root.
Huge thanks gregbradley you made my day! :good: :victory:
No worries.
Yes the newroot process only roots the phone, it does nothing to the bootloader

Hi, I am having an issue where my phone is boot looping and I cannot enter recovery using power + volume down
My phone is the C6906 from Rogers and locked bootloader
I was on RockZ1LP using the DualRecovery rooted and working fine, I decided I wanted to go back to stock to hand the phone off to my gf since I have been using my note edge for a while now.
I downloaded the stock FTF and flashed it via flash tool. After that I haven't been able to boot successfully and have tried many different firmware versions with no luck.
I'm convinced if I can simply do a factory wipe it should work but I cannot get into the factory recovery. Anyone have experience with this?
Any help will be appreciated, thanks

Your phone was rooted and custom recovery installed, why didn't you flash a pre rooted zip with custom recovery. That would have done the job.

What's bad about root? As long as your girlfriend doesn't use a app that needs root privileges all should be fine.
Anyway good to hear you achieved what you wanted.
