[Q] Simply UNROOT the original ROM S3-mini I8190XXANC2 ? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys!
Compliments for your forums. It's a very great work that you are doing here!
I hope it's not a duplicate topic. If it's so, my excuses for that!
I've downloaded that program Kingo Root V 1.2.3.2051, to unroot my S3-mini which have the rom I8190XXANC2 Vodafone Italy
After I started the program and connected the device, I had a doubt, so after few seconds that the program was communicating, I turned off my router, so internet was unavailable.
Then I had to wait 1 minute more till the program said that my device is unsupported, anyway it asked me to press the button "ROOT" .
I did nothing, then I closed the program and disconnected the phone.
Now searching with Google, I found out that this program may harm in some ways, so now I am worried, maybe I shouldn't but hehe you know....
The phone doesn't seems to have new apps installed neither to act weird, so now I ask myself, was able this program to modify or install something in the phone?
Either this answer is positive or not, at this point I would like to do what was my intent: Reset to default, unroot just this ROM version without remove anything (unwanted Vodafone apps), only unroot it and add the Supersu APP; nothing else. Then I can decide later what to keep or what to remove.
I searched a lot in your forums before write this topic, but I found only an extreme "tweaked" version, which isn't my goal.
Another thing that I don't understand is why I see more than one files to flash in the device, seems like it's the operating system, the modem binary, and the kernel? I understood well? It's obligatory to upload all three? Which sequence order?
You mention some applications which helps to upload the roms as like Odin, twrp2.7, I may be wrong, but don't seems that you have a specific topic or an updated download section. I am afraid to search in Google and maybe find some fake versions around with includes malware.
Sorry for all that questions, but I am very new to this Android world. To start for good I need some guidance. I hope you can help me somehow.
Thank you very much.

Thank you for the instructions and the links. From the samsung-updates I can download my original ROM and then with Odin restore my S3mini as factory mode. This may help to get rid of possible "some unwanted changes" done my the tool mentioned in main topic. :good:
My next step is to gain the root access in the original ROM which is I8190XXANC2 OMN, and I dont desire to flash with too much tweaked versions, if possible. The ROM must stay as most close possible like the original, but with the root access.
Any help is very appreciated .

Doesnt Matter, I Only Used My Phone For Abt 3 Wks Now... No Important Infomation Inside
Haha Cool! Got Odin v1.85 Working on My Computer, Just Wondering About The Firmwares... Does CSC and PDA Matter ?
So I've Connected My Phone To The Computer, While My Phone Is In Download Mode. My Computer Cant Seem to Install the Driver, Can I Still Use Odin ?
*Sorry I know I Ask Alot Of Qns, But I Just Wanna Be Extra Careful
No problem its good to be careful than be sorry
No u cant proceed until odin shows that "yellow box " .
About your pc not recognizng your phone you should have the samsung usb drivers ull find them at samfirmware.com
And also when u use odin u must "run as admin " or "run as vista executable( i hope u have seen some odin tutorial ) first keep odin open then connect your phone
I m sorry for the late replies...i know how excited/ sad u are ..please bear with me
You know you are rooted when you use XDA more than FB

Lol Wow I Did Google Before I asked, Just That They Gave me A Bunch Of Stuff That my Brain Couldnt Comprehend
So Now, I Have Downloaded The Stock Firmware and It Seems Like There is Only One File, Unlike In Tutorials Which Have the CSC PDA MODEM File. So I Dont know How to Use The File in Odin.
I Have Seen Tutorials Where The Stock Firmware Consist Of One File Like Mine Also, Where They Input That One Big File Into The PDA Slot. However Mine Doesnt Seem To Work.
There Could Be Afew Outcomes While Flashing that One File into PDA with Odin ( The message in Odin, Telling me what it is doing currently)
1. Setup Connection... ( And Then Stucks There )
2. Flash Failure
Mind Helping Me Abit, Seems Disastrous Lol.. Much Thanks
I think yours is a "one package " file ...there is an option in odin ..tick it and navigate to the file

There is plenty of info and guides for you on site, Stop been lazy and impatient, Go and do some research and search forums instead of expecting somebody to bring the info to you.
You will learn more and retain the info if you put some work into it and read.
go download unlockroot - http://www.unlockroot.com/
make sure you set your device to Enable USB Debugging.
Press Root from the program and wait for the magic to happen.

What is wrong with you!!! Are you frustrated or do you have a huge complex and didn’t mammy give you enough attention??? You can’t wait to put people down are you, he is asking a question and did it very polite he tried it with several solutions and it did not work so he tried, it is absolutely not necessary to say that he is lazy and impatient, your here a long time and all i read from you is bashing people, why don’t you just shut up if you are not helping people and leave it to people that have no problem answering such a question, nobody is waiting for your stupid remarks. You ATHEiST are an idiot and do not belong in a forum!
You can also go for the CFROOT. OR use the overcome method by teamovercome. You just need to put your tab in download mode, and get the necessary files from TEAMOVERCOME. Although, when you do this, you will get a customer ROM installed, the overcome 7 v4.1.0 running on android 2.3.6 fully rooted.
2.3.6 root info
tried many methods, here're my results, hope this helps...
going from gb 2.3.3 rooted with cf root ...to 2.3.6 with cf root.
(all firmware from "check fus 2.1")
uk(02)...JQ8 -not easy!
eventual success, method mentioned in last page of linkost #342
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885734&highlight=tab+cwm3
Poland play... JQ9 -easy!!
used pc version 'odin3 v1.7' to flash firmware, then again to flash 'cf root kernel' (same one as in the above 'xda' link).
result -all good
tried using mobile odin pro first but had probs.
if all else fails, you could try, team overcome's custom rom, i tried that too but didn't like their version of cwm, so was determined to get chainfire's original working.

[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..

Download the guide and gb stock safe.

Go to download mode. Connect cable. Start Odin.
You may want to remove zadig/heimdall if possible.
Better if you can get a clean PC and install driver from gb stock safe.

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.

[Q] Alternative root method via update.zip?

Pardon me if I posted on wrong section, and if this question has been asked too much.
Iam new to samsung android phone, moving from my xperia 2011 lost phone.
Regarding root, anyone had found a method like galaxy young methods?
Via update.zip I mean...
And why we cant flash them on this device?
Maybe someone had a problem with play store.
If we open an app screenshot, and slide it, this phone will vibrate, then the screenshot's gallery will close.
Then back to app's page.
I dont know which one was the problem, phone firmware, playstore, or my phone hardware?
Can anyone help me?
this one use flashable zip

i got that problem, it's first and not last bug in this phone
dont worry its not a big problem, stop using full screen photos in play store and problem gonna out.
Mini 2's stock recovery only allows Samsung signed .zips to be flashed. So you must have a custom recovery to root
That's all the answer
Can I ask more question?
So we need Samsung signed zip file, right?
Is it possible if we steal those zip from Samsung OTA update file?
Like CWM signed zip file maybe...
Adding root file...and edit the script, something like that?
Just asking, maybe I should read more about samsung's android articles...
Its shame there are no update for our phone till now tho... T.T
This forum community never let me down. Thank guys
Note : Admin, please move my thread to mini 2 general/FAQ section if they had been created.
to root you must flash CWM (squadzone/mb14) using odin, and flash root using those CWM
or
you can search for pre-root stock rom and flash it via odin
btw since you are indonesian, why you didn't join galaxy mini 2 facebook group where indonesian user discuss about this device:

Thanks for taking the time to help with this issue. that file didnt work, i flashed the G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions firmware and its at least working again. thanks again to everyone who looked and especially dirtydodge for taking time.
Phone is working again guys but was wondering if anyone knows why it keeps giving me this security notice pop up...says that unauthorized actions have been detected and gives me the option to restart or cancel. Sounds like it has something to do with KNOX from my searching. Trying to solve this without rooting. When i check the KNOX counter in D/L mode it says 0x0. Ive updated firmware and security updates to latest versions and it hasnt helped. Anyone have any pointers? As always any help is greatly appreciated. Searched around the web and xda and didnt find what i was looking for.
@wigglesrewind. Chances are is that the phone is still rooted and that's why your getting the notification. Go to the pay store and download "root checker" and see what it says. Also what is your version & baseband. I'm not sure why the "downgrade to nce" file didn't work for you. It might have been a bad download but you should be able to use it if your still on 0C4.
Thanks again dirtydodge for contributing. I did a check with root checker and it says root is not installed. Also used terminal emulator and get a dollar sign in the terminal, not the hash tag. Any ideas?

I'm not familiar with terminal emulator. The only time I've ever gotten the notification that you talking about is when i have root apps on the phone and certain things aren't froze. But you need to be rooted and have titanium backup to freeze them. What version is on the phone.
Sorry, forgot to add that in the last post...
Baseband version oc4
Kernel 3.4.0
Build number LRX21T.G900AUCU4BOF3
Let me know if you need any other info. Like i said im not very experienced in this
But thanks again for your help. Its greatly appreciated.

Ok well it sounds like your on the latest firmware version. The phone may still have a trace of root somewhere. After you flashed the oc4 Kernel did you do a factory reset. Other than that I'm not sure what to do. But that does explain why you can't use the "downgrade to nce" file. The oc4 build can not be downgraded. I'd do a factory reset from the stock recovery menu and then wipe the cache. If that don't fix it then I'm out of options. Lol. Hope this helps.
Ive tried everything you mentioned except wiping the cache so I'll give that a try. Cross your fingers for me!
you flashed oc4 firmware which is why your baseband is oc4 (baseband is modem.)
What you need to do is download and odin a full odin tar file.. this will wipe everything clean and make it brand new...

If i were to find a full tar file would i just use the ap box in odin or would i have to do it differently? Usually those full dowloads have multiple files in them (BL and whatever the other ones are... CS maybe? Cant remember and not near the computer right now. Is that what your talking about?

Yup.. youre build is of3 or w.e which to my knowledge not downgradeable.. if you dont plan on keeping it rooted then you can flash latest full tar in odin using the AP slot..
I would recommend trying the oc full tar first if you plan on rerooting it.. the full tar will have multiple files including system, csc, boot etc.

G900AUCU3BOC4_OneClick..exe was the file name i kept coming across with links to a google drive account but the file is no longer on there. I'll keep looking. I appreciate you guys lending a hand. I know it can be frustrating trying to help someone with limited understanding of something remotely. You guys are great.
