[Q] unroot??

is it possibile to unroot the epic eb13 without having to use the cable/ odin / or anything computer related?
my phone is not working with odin or anything if i plug the usb in, but i am able to move stuff to and from my SD card by just putting the SD card in the computer.
took to sprint to try and get it repaired BUT cause they saw i was rooted they said they cant help me because i am rooted.
by the way i have tried VARIOUS methods of trying to get the usb to work by using 4 different usb cables. uninstall and install the drivers. different usb slots in the computer.
all keep showing
"USB device not recognized"

I had this problem when I was getting ready to upgrade from rooted DK18 to EB13. I wanted to backup my stuff first but the usb wouldn't recognize mass storage. I think I may have broke something when I started removing apk's and disabled touchwiz in favor of launcher pro. The phone worked fine but mass storage was not available. When I installed the Epic drivers on my laptop and connected my phone, the mass storage still wasn't recognized but Odin did see a connection.
If Odin still sees your connection on a different pc (disregard the windows error), then flash whatever firmware you need and all should be well.
Let me know if this helps.
PS....Don't forget to disconnect and reconnect your phone at least twice after installing drivers on a new pc. It takes at least 2 reconnects to install the drivers correctly...at least thats always been my experience.

im getting nothing in odin =/

Yes, but have you tried connecting to a different pc. I had the exact same issue on my desktop pc and then I tried on my laptop. For some unknown reason Odin worked fine (but still no mass storage).
At first I thought there was something wrong with my desktop's usb ports but after I flashed back to stock, suddenly mass storage was available on both my laptop and the original pc. Don't ask me why, it just worked.

Doesn't doing a hard reset make you lose ur root?

loop boot quickly

Sorry for my English I will try to explain my problem.
After rooting everything was fine, but when I try to flash stock firmware somethings happen.First problem is that my PC cannot detect the phone with Odin and adb or mass storage I am 100% sure that the problem are not the drivers because I root that phone on the same PC before a week and of course I try everything on a another computer, but without success.
Download mode Odin cannot detect the phone! after many attempts to fix usb problem now the phone cannot boot , only in recovery (loop)after every start it's show recovery with message
Filesystems:
system: rfs
data: rfs
cashe: rfs
maybe system, data and cache files are erased I don't know.
recovery version is 0.1.3.b5
How can I flash stock firmware without PC. For example HTC devices can flash from SD card - Gold card, and PB99IMG.zip (I can't explain very well what I mean sorry)
Maybe the phone is usb bricked !
working..
recovery - only recovery
Download mode Volume Down + power off + camera ) - but cannot connect to PC and Odin.
not working
after flashing new costume ROM - the same thing - reboot to recovery
installed software on pc
android SDK,Kiesmini_1.0.0.10075_1,Samsung PC studio 1.5.1.10064_2,Drivers for spica on (Windows 7 x86)
really I cant find post like this !!! and sorry for my English

If you can go to download mode and phone is not detected, then you have bad drivers or bad usb in PC. Try another PC.

I have 3 pc and 2 cables and the same problem cannot detect. Can I flash new stock firmware without odin ?

Have you tried different USB ports, specifically one on the back of the PC?

Calm down. Did you read what I posted above? I said nothing about drivers. Have you tried other USB ports? Most people find the ports on the back of the CPU work the best, not ones on the front, or on a hub. It does make a difference.

connect to what?
if you are trying to connect with Odin but you have Kies installed on your PC, there is a known issue where running services from Kies will prevent Odin from recognizing your phone. In that case: use task manager to identify and kill the Kies processes, stop/start Odin again and then connect your phone to the USB cable and Odin will see it.

more details
which rom have you been using last?
all drivers installed?
Kies running or not?
more details and we'll see

If the phone won't turn on at all you might be boned.
Odin and all that obviously require you to be able to boot to download mode.
Are you positive the battery is good? Could you find another battery to try?
Does the charging light come on when its plugged in? Are there any signs of life at all?

I think it does turn on because the phone does continue to heat up but its just a black screen also i can put it into download mode and it stays there without being plugged into charge. I'm not sure about the battery ill have to check that out. ill get back to you.

It sounds like you dont have recovery or a rom installed at all.
To fix that you need odin. If the PC wont recognize the phone that is a problem. Did you try a different USB cord to connect to the PC? They are not all created equal.

yes i have used both the original one that came with the phone and the s5 one that my brother has, i have had no luck.
my phone shows up as "msm8960" or mtp usb device also it it device driver software was not successfully installed.
[UPDATE] i have found something similar to odin called JOdin3 that connects to my phone, through this i will try to flash a stock firmware, downloaded from sammobile, and see what happens.

Odin doesn't work without the drivers, and since you had an issue with the drivers that would explain why Odin doesn't work yet JOdin3 does.

I installed the samsung drivers several times and it still wouldn't connect to the pc, i also installed kies and it still wouldn't work, but it was working before i bricked my phone. i have fixed my phone through JOdin3.But thank you everyone for your help.

Will it connect now through Odin or Kies?

No it still wont connect to either but the computer does recognize the phone.

MTP is built into Windows, so the fact the PC detects the phone is a good sign. The entire problem you're having seems to hinge on your PC rejecting the Samsung drivers, which are absolutely required for Odin to function. Those drivers should have no problems installing, and I have successfully installed them on both Windows 7 (x64) and Windows 8.1 machines so I know the installer does work.
There could be many reasons as to the source of your problem, such as a corrupt file or registry entry from when the phone soft-bricked. You want to take a closer look and do some detective work here. Uninstall the drivers if you haven't already done so. Clean out the PC with CCleaner. Even attempt a reinstall of the drivers in the PC's safe mode. Regardless of what you choose to do, if you ever wish to use Odin, you'll need to get this resolved.

yeah ill definitely try to fix the problem because odin is such a great tool. i have uninstalled and installed the samsung drivers but i'll go search the net and what not to try and find a fix. odin was working before when i flashed the stock rom and changed something to mtp and adb (i think i put in an ussd code or something (*#0808#) and through that i was able to use odin) but because the wifi wasn't working on the stock rom, i flashed a custom rom to fix the wifi problem but was once again greeted with the odin problem.
