Ops...I am stuck without root....

So here it goes...I was in bed today (in my Country it's holiday, everything is closed) I picked up the phone and I found a notification about an update came available....I said OMG they finally put ICS for download? So I downloaded it. it didn't go well (over wifi), phone said I had to use Kies and the pc. So I went to the pc, used kies and updated it.
UNFORTUNATELY (I am dumb) that was not ICS. I was too sleepy to understand that 72 MB maybe weren't enough....so.....now I am without root. I had no idea an update could get my root away. At the beginning I had the galaxy note with stock rom + root (the KKA switzerland kernel). Now I am stuck with a LA6 kernel, which CAN'T be rooted, am I right?
I should downgrade to stock rom, root again, and then manually install ICS with odin. I can't install directly ICS because I have no root at the moment. To have root, I have to downgrade. To downgrade, I have to wipe the phone and put another rom.
Another rom = every data lost, because WITHOUT root, I can't use titanium pro and make a backup of all the games and saved data etc etc.....
so......how do I get out of this? Am I missing something?

can't I just use ODIN from pc and put the ICS rom with odin (pc software) ? as in this thread post #2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

do you have nandroid backup?

no, and I don't know it. The backups I ever made are the ones with titanium for the apps, and clockworkmod for the roms. Both can't be used at the moment....with no root...

post #5 has the link for LA6 CF kernel ... u need to flash it with PC Odin

they write in that thread that you can't use odin.... ?!?

post #1 include a link to Odin .... and where did you read that Odin is not to be use?

well...download link in post 5: See the second post of the thread for flashing instructions. If you're thinking about using ODIN to do it, you should probably read that post.
second post: "DO NOT USE ODIN TO FLASH THE KERNEL ! This is the annoying part. There are three different methods:"
Anyway will the procedure from that LA6 file get me the root again on my actual rom without needing to use another rom / wipe / lost data?

ahhh ... the other way around is to flash hardcore speedmod kernel ...
make sure u download the odin version and not the cwm one...
flash it with Odin

I'm sorry....i normally always manage to do everything....but in that thread I only find CWM files...that are not to be used with odin....I am just trying to get root on my actual ****ty LA6 thing...so that I can begin with the ICS installation. I should have never updated from KKA to LA6 ! I am losing the whole morning trying to get back the root.

no frets... LA6 is now directly rootable..
follow instructions on this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025

Ok...I will also follow that video tutorial with odin....anyway I don't get, if it isn't a WIPE rom, why does one need to get 500 MB just to get root? It's getting forever...the hosting is really slow.
I hope I can get out of this uncomfortable situation...

I lost root after this upgrade on my UK note.
I tracked down a self-extracting zip called unlockroot23-eng.exe which I understand contains a root prog called zerg rush.
When I ran the package it errored several times because files it was trying to copy on were already there (presumably from the earlier rooting) but by the time it finished I had root back.
I've only had my Note about a week so perhaps someone with more experience can comment on this method - ie: whether it's to be recommended and the download location as I am stuck in a hospital bed at the moment.

hey i got the root back with the method in the links provided...I had to download 500 MB for apparently 'nothing' but I am happy to have the root back...chainfire and stuff work properly and detect the super user and I had nothing changed...all apps with my rom bla bla bla. So I am going over to install the official ICS rom now that I have root....then I'll see to root the ICS rom

:facepalm:
Why did you need all this hassle to get your root back just to flash stock ICS?
You could've done it without root as well.

How? The method I wanted to use was with ODIN and ODIN could not run without root access. Anyway I won't install ICS, the thing about bugs and bricking don't sound good...I'll wait an official update.
With the update to LA6 I also lost clockworkmod....I installed it from the market, but to install the recovery part I must flash it with ADB or is there a safer and easier way? I don't want to type something wrong, and I don't want to mess that counter with ODIN.

[Guide] Return to Stock from Original CWM Nandroid Backup

This guide is for those that require to return COMPLETLEY to stock (out of the box) and your firmware version is not yet available for download.
You must be; rooted, CWM Recovery and have an original nandroid backup (made after first root, and before flashing any custom ROM or non-regional firmware other than recovery or modem)
Australian Optus Nandroid :
* [email protected] has been kind enough to upload here
* You will need to Triangle Away, so begin at step #1
* I have not personally tested this nandroid, only my own
Australian Vodafone Nandroid :
* [email protected] has been kind enough to upload here
* You may need to Triangle Away, so begin at step #1
* Again, I have not personally tested this nandroid, only my own
Modem & Stock Recovery
* Not backup by CWM, thus you may need to restore your original
Modem Collection :
* [REF] Galaxy S3 Modem / Radio Collection (I9300 & I9300T ONLY) CWM & Odin Flashable
Android System Recovery 3e :
* CWM_Stock_I9300_Recovery.zip attached
* Stock recovery is the SAME between I9300 or I9300T versions
[Guide] Return to Stock from Original CWM Backup - No firmware released for download
Requirements:
1. Have a nandroid backup of your original stock firmware
2. Root & CWM Recovery
3. Triangle Away app
4. SU-BusyBox-CWM_Manager-Uninstaller.zip (wipes SU binary, SuperUser, BusyBox and CWM Manager v3.50/3.55/3.60)
5. CWM_I9300_Stock_Recovery.zip
6. CheckFus Downloader app to check Product Code (SGS2 dialer code *2767*4387264636# does not work)
7. CWM flashable modem.zip (if not original baseband version)
METHOD:
1. Use Triangle Away app to reset binary download counter
2. Boot into CWM Recovery
3. Restore "original" nandroid backup (ensure the name has not been modified or you may experience md5 mismatch)
4. Reboot & check for and uninstall any remaining User apps that require SU
5. Boot in CWM Recovery
6. Flash modem.zip (only if baseband is not original)
If you did not Triangle Away before making the original backup, your binary flash counter may not be restored as zero, so reboot and reset before proceeding to step#7
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
7. Flash SU-BusyBox-CWM_Manager-Uninstaller.zip
8. Flash CWM_I9300_Stock_Recovery.zip
9. Factory reset
10. Reboot system
11. Check settings > about device > status > device status > scanning............... Normal (This may take a few minutes)
12. Sign into Google Play & install CheckFus app. Product code should be correct
If returning for warranty:
13. Delete all contents of internal sdcard "phone"
14. Factory reset again and power off
All tested on my own device
Hope this helps some Hit THANKS if it has

Anyway, I'm at the process of getting ready to do a NANDROID backup (already put an SD card in the phone).
As I'm aware, the stock recovery doesn't do NANDROID backups. Would I need to flash CWM (Chainfire one) via ODIN before doing so?
UPDATE: Never mind, NANDROID is a CWM feature x)

Recommend it. Just follow Chainfire guide exactly.
Copy the backup found in clockworkmod folder to PC for safe keeping.
Once rooted, search for EFS Backup Pro and copy the backup to PC too. CWM will not back this up either. If this every becomes corrupted (and no backup) = iPod (no cellular network)

Yeah, took a "little" bit of flashing just to prove the method works. Anyone following the steps and links to the appropriate guides shouldn't have any trouble.
Had other ideas such as how to dump your firmware and re-package into Odin flashable .tar file . This took a while, so maybe I'll add the other method in future. Wife is on my case

You didn't follow the guide did you?
Your firmware is now "modified" from the original (out of the box) having flashed a custom kernel. Also, depending on the flash method (Odin?), your counter most likely increased again
If you want completely back to original (out of the box state) firmware, follow the guide in FULL >> Redo steps 1-9 (or 1-11)
Obviously, if your official firmware is available for download somewhere, this guide becomes redundant. Flashing a complete official firmware will remove the modified status, but yours isn't completely official/stock now is it?
But, if this is want you want

To avoid any further confusion I've added to the OP......... COMPLETLEY to stock (out of the box).......

Actually i did all this before you posted this thread.I used triangle away and the official counter is showing 0.My firmware is not up for download still but i made the nandroid backup before flashing cm9.
I rooted my phone using cf root by chainfire and then flashed cm9 using cwm.But then i returned to stock using my backup,then flashed a custom kernel using mobile odin pro.If i flash my stock kernel will my device status be normal again?
Also wanted to ask if the efs backup pro is an android app?I dloaded the zip on my cell as i dont have pc now,should i flash the zip using cwm to get efs pro app?

I haven't tested any other method, as I was more concerned with getting the stock recovery.zip and proofed.
No counter + unroot + complete official firmware package => status = "normal".
If you flash an official kernel that is a different version to that of your official package, this would most likely "corrupt" the product code, so its not recognized = "modified".
These mix and match official firmware are referred as "Frankenstein".

Thanks heaps for this.. I was trying to unroot & remove cwm recovery from my Optus Galaxy SIII all day yesterday with no luck since I couldn't find the stock Optus Australia firmware.. I skipped step 3 & 4 since all I did was flashing the CF-Root kernel . Now I can send this back without worrying
I did all those yesterday except I couldn't get back the stock recovery. Flashing the stock kernel didn't work. All good now

I only have a backup made before rooting, made with stock recovery.
This method will work for me?
But, my FW version is available. If I flashed through Odin I'll increase the counter. I'm a little bit lost here.

I don't see how nandroid can be made without CWM recovery or various tools using ADB commands.
A nandroid backup is typically made up of:
1. boot.img
2. cache.ext4.tar
3. data.ext4.tar
4. nandroid.MD5 checksum
5. recovery.img
6. system.ext4.tar
Flashing any official firmware with Odin does not increase any counter.
++ This guide is not for you ++
For your case;
1. Use Triangle Away app to reset any counter
2. Flash official firmware with Odin (this will also remove root)
3. Wipe any evidence of SU apps and delete contents of internal sdcard
4. Maybe Factory reset before sending the phone off

If I have not done any modifications than rooted can I triangle away then boot to cwm then install su unistaller and after that stock recovery and I'm done?
E: I read a guide where first triangle away then cwm and full wipe then odin flash and after that factory reset and I don't want to lose all data. Is the su app that is the reason for modified status as it's easy to remove in cwm before odin flash to stock?

Information for those got paritial root after flashing from GB rom

Any fully rooted GB rom before process the upgrade to Criskelo or Cassies ICS Rom please install SuperSU (Chainfire) first and those already done please click and update if available and somehow will update the binary , if successful, you can now flash the ICS and gain full root. otherwise partial root will most likley occur.
Once flashed the new ICS rom then update the the SuperSU again. Then you are done with fully rooted rom without issues.
I have tried twice and worked fine. it was very painful to have partial root and flashing CF root LQ3 with mobil odin did not resolve my partial root problem
I personally like Cassies rom and speedmod together. Working very well.
I Hope these help.

help!

hi i have a similar problem: my original firmware was gingerbread 2.3.6 lc1 acording to dr. ketan guide fi only way to get root was a downgrade wich i did i flash trought odin the kj1 2.3.5 pre rooted rom everything went well got full root only problem was the null null keyboard besides that superuser updated binaries just fine...
The trouble started when i flashed abysskernel to wipe completely and flashes kingdroid v7 trought the aroma installer , make my choices and the kernel that i picked was speedmod k11-3, restarted... room boted just fine... but i realized superuser app was changed too super su , i open it, tried to update binaries but failed , tried to install new busybox trought ericcson app and failed also... so then i tried to flash trough mobile odin the cf kernel but that was a failure and it end with loosing root,,,
now im on kingdroid v7 supersu updated fine , but i still cant write or mount system files , still on speedmod k 11-3... will doing these step you wrote end in gaining full root again on the rom that i have?
thank u for ur answer!:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

if you choose CF root in aroma while installation you boot up fully rooted,
once booted check your root situation, update binaries if need be , then you can change kernel to your preference

Solution
After update to ICS using mobile odin, if you find partially rooted, i think SuperSU busyboxinstaller,zip still work from recovery and will update inary and will get full root.

Wat you have need to use abyss once you are on safe GB ROM ?

agreed ,partial root is a myth ,the only thing causing the so called "partial root" is a corruption in the system partition causing it to refuse to mount\unmount
the solution is to flash a kernel that does not automatically mount system partition during recovery (like CM9 kernels) ,and then format system partition and then flash\ nandroid restore your ROM.
other than that partial root is a myth!

It is like 'commited'
It allows you to use many appl like titanium but dont allow to mount system n that's why it is partially rooted.

[Q] downgrading to 4.1.2

hello guys, i want to downgrade because i am sick of 4.2.1. Due to the fact that i have a 8gb nexus 7(rooted) i am having memory shrtages and directorybind dont work on the latest version...so i have a few questions:
can i downgrade without losing data?if no....how do i backup my apps and dara
should i downgrade with wugs toolkit?

If it's not obvious already: you'll need to do a clean-wipe to downgrade. Just flash the appropriate gapps and you should be good to go. Keep in mind any custom kernels/zips you may have flashed that may not work on 4.1.2. -Use Titanium Backup to backup your user apps as some 4.2 system apps won't work on 4.1.2

Have you tried other 4.2 roms or different kernels? I used to get horrible battery drain and some performance issues with the stock rom and kernel, then I tried other options and got much better results
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Please try a custom rom before all hope is lost. Try Rootbox

first of all i have never flashed a custom rom or kernel
secondly if i backup all my games and apps with TB when i restore it in 4,1,2 will it work properly?....as i have seen people complaining that after restoring they were stuck in bootloop...
...is there any custom roms that support directory bind or any other ways that allow playing games from usb stick?

Root your device and restore the apps using TB
I don't know about bootloops caused by TB, but if it does you can reflash using the guide in the list.

I am just a beganer I tried to root my phone without using pc through "z for root"app. But the process didnt compleate and app crashed & my fone got freezed(highly sluggish). Then I tried to factory reset, but I was unable to do so . After multiple attempts I succeded through recovery mode. After that I cheked my fone through titanium backup, it told that it doesnt have root access. So I searched xda and installed the app framaroot,and did the temporary root and installed super user through the same app. But after all that when I opened titanium backup. It was was unable to proceed further. Just showing "gaining root access" . So I thought something went wrong in my procees. so I decided to uninstall that superuser app, but there is nowhere option to uninstall that app. And now sometimes my fone gets sluggish & when I check program moniter . That superuser app is on. SO I WANT TO UNINSTALL SUPERUSER APP AND BRING MY PHONE TO ORIGINAL CONDITION(UNROOT/VALID WARANTY). THANKING U VERY MUCH SIR. EAGERLY WAITING FOR UR RESPONCE

Yes but its better to install CM9 first then install CM11 so you don't lose IMEI

hello sir if u dont mind I need a little bit of help. I am just a beganer I tried to root my phone without using pc through "z for root"app. But the process didnt compleate and app crashed & my fone got freezed(highly sluggish). Then I tried to factory reset, but I was unable to do so . After multiple attempts I succeded through recovery mode. After that I cheked my fone through titanium backup, it told that it doesnt have root access. So I searched xda and installed the app framaroot,and did the temporary root and installed super user through the same app. But after all that when I opened titanium backup. It was was unable to proceed further. Just showing "gaining root access" . So I thought something went wrong in my procees. so I decided to uninstall that superuser app, but there is nowhere option to uninstall that app. And now sometimes my fone gets sluggish & when I check program moniter . That superuser app is on. SO I WANT TO UNINSTALL SUPERUSER APP AND BRING MY PHONE TO ORIGINAL CONDITION(UNROOT/VALID WARANTY). THANKING U VERY MUCH SIR. EAGERLY WAITING FOR UR RESPONCE

A few things first
-Z4Root is outdated and only worked on 2.1
-Temporary root only gies you root access for a certain period of time and as the name suggests it is not a full root solution. This also means that even if you install Superuser it probably won't work properly. Framaroot should alow you to fully root (Aragorn exploit I think?)
To restore the phone to its complete original state just flash a stock rom over what you already have and it should get rid of Superuser
