I was using CM7 with speedmod kernel and CWM recovery on my SGS i9000B.
If I re-install stock samsung firmware using Odin will it be unrooted back or wil it still be rooted?
Actually, what I want to know is, will samsung support guys know that I ever rooted and installed a custom ROM on my phone i I do this and take the phone to support maintenance?
IT will remove the root and they won't tell so long as everything is as it was. Just make sure to remove any reference to rooting and cm7 from your internal sd card. Reverting to stock rom won't do that.

Ok, so I'm currently using bionix 1.9 with stock kernel. I really want to flash bionix fusion with kingxklicks kernel, from what here this is a great rom.
My question, is there anything I should know about flashing this i.e. going back to stock rom? Is there anything I need to do before flashing this?
If I decide to go back to stock rom can I just flash with odin? Do I have to flash stock kernel before flashing back to a stock rom?
Can anyone just let me know, I would like to be prepared in case anything does go wrong.
Nope, you should be safe to flash directly over your current rom. As a precaution, if you have Ryanza's OCLF, you might consider undoing the lag fix... not saying it is needed but more often than not, most people who have a problem start off with saying " Help, I just tried flashing (xyz rom) and now I am stuck at the bootscreen. I had (abc rom) and OCLF before... what could be wrong?" Any other questions be sure to consult the red text in my sig.
Ok cool, even then I have been stuck on the boot screen a couple of time. Odin fixed that problem.

Other than making a nandroid backup and maybe a titanium backup, you should be good to go ...
Fusion 1.1 is a wipe ROM so may want to backup your apps ....
I woke up this morning and my over the air update was ready to install. I clicked install, and it went to reboot. When it was loading the package my screen went to the Android guy and the caution symbol.
When I got to work I took the battery out and rebooted the phone. My phone is rooted and I have a recovery app installed so I chose to reboot with 2.2. Everything is working like normal again now.
I assume the update file did not download fully since my phone was just on 3G all night.
My Question is: Will the update automatically push to my phone again, since I already started downloading the file? Or will I have to do a manual update?
it didnt install cuz u are rooted
To be able to receive the OTA without manually installing it, your phone needs to be STOCK. Since you are rooted, you have the option to go back to stock via odin or you can install GB manually with root. Either way, once GB is installed you will lose root.. so be prepared to root again if you choose.

Nope. Always the same...must be completely stock to get the OTA or flash the update.zip. And as usual 10 minutes after OTA started there are prerooted GB ROMs you can flash if you don't want to go back to stock.

I have a stock Epic with stock ROM except that I used the one click (simple) rooting method to root it.
How can I Install the GB update now? I don't want to flash my phone and go back to ODIN (I haven't flashed a phone before, even though I have done so to the Nook color).
Is it possible to manually apply the update to my rooted phone? Will that work or will my phone be bricked?
I am ok with rooting the phone again after the update. I am hoping they have a simple rooting method for GB as they did with froyo. Thanks!
so i am running the same sfr 1.2 with genocide i believe and the update keeps showing up if i flash a gingerbread rom with this go away or is there a way to get the notification to go away?? actually my wifes phone and it is driving her nuts!! lol
Hi everyone. I had a few questions about flashing new roms on my kindle and was hoping to get some help
1. If I flash a new rom, like cm7, will i need to use titanium back up to save my apps and data. I remember doing this when i flashed a rom for my phone.
2. will flashing to cm7 prevent me from receiving OTA updates that amazon sends out. They just recently sent one a few days ago and the update unrooted the kindle. I wanted to see if I this is something I would have to worry about if i flash to cm7
3. once i do flash to cm7 and say another rom comes out, can i flash straight to the new rom or do i need to flash back to stock then perform the flash for the new rom.. again i remember having to do this when i was changing roms with my phone.
4. does the battery need to be fully charged before flashing
5. If i flash to cm7 then want to go back to back up (amazon stock software with root and gapps) will this make me loose my root access and twrp 2.0
Thanks

1. If you are coming from another rom, then yes. But if you are updating your CM7, then you should probably backup your apps
2. I have had CM7 on my Kindle for like 2 weeks, and have not received an update. So I don't think so.
3. Like I said above in number 1. For example: If you are coming from Cm7 and want to try to flash ICS, then you would first backup your system, then wipe system, data, cache and Dalvik-cache, just to make sure. But if whistlestop releases a new version of Cm7 that fixes the MAC adress, then you would boot into recovery, A backup is optional but is recommended., then wipe cache and Dalvik-cache only, then flash the updated rom on top of it.
4. It says that it is recommended to have a full battery, but I have not yet flashed a rom with a full battery, and I have not occured problems.
5. I think if you get an OTA update after flashing back to stock, then you will probably loose root access again and TWRP. But don't worry, after you get TWRP back, you will still have all your backups.
AWESOME! Thanks for all your help.
one more for you. so i just rooted and installed twrp and did a system back up. then i want to flash cm7. now i am running cm7 and decide to try ics so i do another back up before i flash to ics, will the cm7 override the original back up that i did before flashing cm7 or will i now have 2 different back ups i can restore if i wanted too.

There will be 2 different choices when you go to restore. But the problem is that when you make 2 backups the same day, its hard to tell which is which. So when I make a backup I mount USB with the option and rename the 12-27-11... file to something like CM7-12-27 or something of the sort.

Thank you sir
I'm looking for a guide or some directions to downgrade back to froyo. Do I have to go through the process of odin, or can I just flash a 2.2 rom over my passion ics rom?
You have to Odin, DONNOT just flash it over. If you need additional help, post it here

Ahh..thanks for the tip. Odin back to stock then root, and get 2.2 flashed. On a side note I'm unable to make a backup with rom manager is that common on all ics roms? Its one of the reasons I'm to go back to 2.2.
That's a kernel issue. Try a new kernel and backup should start working again.
Edit: Actually ROM Manager never worked right for me either, but rebooting into CWM recovery and backing up manually had never given me trouble. Try that.

I would strongly advise against using Samsung kies to upgrade to 2.2. If you have gb bootloaders installed its a good way to hard brick your vibe.
odin is the best way,I think
safe&convenient
Is there any way to Odin without a USB? My factory cable is messed up and wont connect my phone to pc. Thanks.

Hi everyone. .
What's the easiest way to go back to an OEM ROM? I rooted my S4 and flashed several different ROMs ( which were awesome) but none let me encrypt my phone. I need to encrypt it so that I can access my work email. Ive decided to try and go back to stock and just root the stock ROM so I can delete all the sprint bloat and just be happy for now. Any thought on the easiest way to accomplish this? Im using TWRP recivery
Appreciate all the help!

Have you tried just flashing the stock rooted MDL rom from recovery? This is the fastest way to go back to stock rooted. The link to crawrj's stock rooted MDL rom is in that post as well. If that doesn't do it for some reason (not sure why it wouldn't) about your only choice then is to Odin back to stock.
Boom. Worked perfectly. I just flashed stock rooted MDL rom from recovery and rebooted a couple of times and it let me encrypt! I don't know why the first time I flashed it, it wouldn't let me encrypt. Weird.
