I just make a simple tutorial for rooting and unrooting in another post here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22963897&postcount=117
Maybe little bit different but it works..
I'm SGT 8.9 user, but i have friend need my help for rooting his SGT P6800
so i implement the rooting process just like 8.9 do..
here is the method
For Rooting:
Download the root_original.zip from the attachment..
Transfer the attached file root_original.zip to the EXTERNAL SDCARD
Go To recovery menu, and choose "install update from external storage"
Choose root_original.zip with power button until it finish (apx 30 seconds)
Reboot
Install Superuser from market, run once..
Install Busybox Installer from market, then install busybox (if you need it just install, if not, dont do that)
Done..You just root
For Unrooting:
Uninstall Busybox with proper uninstaller if you use it (becarefull, some version will break your wifi module)
Uninstall superuser from Settings--application--manage application
Download the unroot_original.zip from the attachment..
Transfer the attached file unroot_original.zip to the EXTERNAL SDCARD
Go To recovery menu, and choose "install update from external storage"
Choose unroot_original.zip with power button until it finish (apx 30 seconds)
Reboot
Done.. You just Unroot..
Notes: Unrooting process only works with rooting process as mentioned above..
if you rooting from another file unrooting will works.. But you still need wipe and manually uninstall busybox if the root file include with it....
hope this help someone..
This is my reason why i dont include busybox in my root file package
1.Incompatibility issues between busybox version...
2.you dont use that too much, what kind operation you do with this tool for a month,,except if you dev.. You know well what you must to do.. Even softbrick, you dont use that..
3. Unrooting became complicated for me..
So, its your choice guys..
+1 is a gift for me if this post help you..
nice to meet u here

Thanks for your work.
Could you please tell me what the different between root by stock recovery and root with CWM recovery?

Both of recovery recognized the script for rooting, the output is same..CWM is something we need coz it has ability to write and backup to a whole partition...
After rooting, do you get a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark when you boot the device like the one on the galaxy s2? If yes, will the unrooting method above remove it?
Thanks
The rooting process doesnt intact with recovery partition or kernel partition, so triangle not appear because this process..
there is no correlation between unrooting with removing triangle exclamation,..
This is my assumption..
Triangle exclamation is a warning that your current kernel or (maybe recovery) not an officially release by Samsung..
To remove triangle just replace your custom with official release and your 3Angle will disappear..
thanks for the answer, the reason why I asked is because there is counter that Samsung uses that shows how many times u rooted your device, just like in the galaxy s2, and that will definitely void my warranty.

No my friend, binary counter will count when you using odin with custom kernel/firmware through download mode..
In SGS 2 and galaxyNote has same method for this..
so....in this binary counter case..if we use ODIN to flash the official samsung firmware, the counter will not detect...am i right??
and another question, if i flash custom firmware through ODIN and later on i flash back to the official firmware for warranty purpose, does the counter will be reset??
*thnxs in advance for your reply~

First : In SGS2 and galaxy Note case the answer is yes.. Your counter still 0, im not sure with p6800.. post your download mode screen here for make sure..
Second: you cannot reset the counter with flashing official firmware.. You need usb jig or something similar with that to reset the counter..please read thread from gnote or Sgs2..
ok..thnxs..will do later..soon after i've downloaded

Has anyone try rooting their 7.7 with SuperOneClick v2.3.3?
Nope, maybe you can try.. But i think it wont work cause the exploit only works on 2.2 and 2.3 devices..
Halo friend,
would this be safe on the Verizon tab 7.7?
Terimah kasih
I dont know, never try this on verizon device, maybe you can try it..
Aman kok, jika gagal proses root akan berhenti tanpa pengaruh ke device..
went ahead and pulled the trigger....
and all is well....
now i just need CWMR
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

Rooted my phone,made a nandroid backup,flashed cm9,restored using original nandoid backup then used triangleaway to reset counter which shows 0,flashed a custom kernel on stock rom.Baseband has reverted to normal but device status showing modified.How to change it to normal?

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
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.

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".

CWM Manager app was installed when you first installed Chainfire CWM Recovery, and was back upped with your original nandroid.
You have not followed all the steps.....

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

With stock recovery I've made a backup xD
In that day I don't even bother with warranty, my wish was enter again in flashmaniac mode xD

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?

Really cool !
I just uninstalled Feacore CWM and updated CWM to its latest version using the Recovery zip ... but I already had CWM installed.
It's good to know that we can do this for the first time, without the use of a computer.
Thank you !

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

How can I do it? any tutorial?
this is how I root my galaxy y
goto recovery
flash this cwm zip - download here
mount system if not already mounted (in mounts and storage it should display "unmount system" if system is mounted)
install zip from sd
select this zip download Valkyrie_1_5E
select superuser by chainsdd
restart
you should now have the superuser app and your phone rooted
if it cant find your build.prop you have a varient of the 5360 that cant use this method

Look for stock firmware bundled with the bootloader for your device then flash through odin.. But Im warning you its a risky move you could brick your device.. So i suggest you do a little more research before doing anything dangerous goodluck

flashing stock firmware does not unlock the phone!
and you dont unlock the bootloader like you do a htc phone - the zips contains the bootunlock file when you flash them in galaxy y
never flash the boot loader in odin - you will be at high risk of damaging your phone if you get it wrong
use dokys glaxy toolbox to remove carrier lock

Either you didn't mount system before flashing the zip or its not a GT-S5360

I just flash a stock via odin, and now it's okay.. I tried again root, start recovery, flash cwm, mount system (that was already monted), flash zip file that you gave to me, follow aroma instructions, chose the first option by chainsdd, and reboot..
The superuser app don't appear.. and root checker says that root is not done...
What can I do..I'm freaking out with this, I had 2 androids before (Htc Wildfire, Samsung galaxy gio) and it never was so simple to root them!!

what did the output of the script say - did you get a build prop error or did it say it had done it
do you have a gt-s5360 or is it a varient for example gt-s5360t
I forgot to say you need to enable usb debugging too
try this method
enable usb debugging on your phone - (phone settings - applications - development - tick usb debugging)
download this zip and put on root of sd card
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=763088&d=1319722266
now go into recovery (stock recovery not cwm)
install zip from sd card
select update.zip
restart
Hi
I've rooted my Grand 2 with "towelroot v1", and it was ok, and it gave me a root permission.
but there was no superuser app so i installed one from the market, but it needs to install some files in recovery mode, and when it goes to recovery mode it fail.
is that ok? or not?
or do i need to be worry about any thing on my device?
and i was wondering if i do a hard reset, does the factory reset remove the root. in case of any update that will come in the future?
and if not, how can i remove the root for the upcoming updated?
Thanks.
First of all , You don't had to download su app from the market coz there is no custom recovery for grand 2 . Su can only install it files from a custom recovery .
2nd- It's ok . Just delete su app . Nothing will happen with your device .
3rd- Factory Reset will most probably remove root . And if it doesn't remove root , just download the updated firmware of your country from sammobile and just flash it through odin .
If u have any problem , just don't hesitate in asking .
Don't forget to press the thanks button !!!!
