Can't get my official status back - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I have a Rogers variant, i rooted and changed to supersu, now my status is custom and i cant get it back to official. I tried what seemed to work for many, i used es file explorer to delete the SU folder and try to re-root again and i'm still on custom status. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to change back to Official so i can apply OTAs? I tried looking around in forum but wasnt able to find any solutions.
Thanks

it doesnt work, as soon as i temp unroot and hit the OTA update it tells me my device is modified.

Clear Dalvik cache and reboot
using ADB:
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /data/dalvik-cache
rm *
exit
adb reboot

Or you can use odin to install the new firmware from here, then just root again...

And what makes you say that?

because when i sent command rm * it did nothing, when i sent command rm, it responded. In any case, i keep getting a "device not found" message when i abd reboot.
I'm trying to do odin methond but again, i'm running into hiccups.
I'm desperate and stuck in a loophole i cant get out of -_-
No matter what i do, it blocks at setupconnection

correct me if I am wrong here...if you root..status is going to stay custom...

You're wrong There are a couple of threads on how to remove.
And OP - rm * shouldn't return anything, when you reboot it should rebuild the dalvik cache.
And if you're having Odin trouble (you really shouldn't need it) then make sure your Odin version is up to date (I think 3.0.7 works on the S4) and that you have updated Samsung drivers (see if Kies can see the phone).
EDIT: when your Odin screenshot says "GS3", you might want to look around for an updated version

Thanks for the tip but 3.07 was the latest i found, please correct me if i'm wrong but i've look everywhere and it was the latest. If rm * doesnt return anything in that case it all went well and that method didn't work. I realized that it deleted dalvik cache so i tried to boot into stock recovery but unlike on the S3, when deleting cache partition it just gave me an error. In any case, when i tried that method, when i booted back into android it did update apps, so i guess the method work, just not to restore my official status

Try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248 - either in this one or the djrbliss Motochopper thread, someone should have an answer for you. Make sure Samsung drivers are at v1.5.14, and that ADB works. And the one that held me up longest - make sure your USB cable is ok (use the one from the S4 to be sure) and make sure you're plugged in to a "real" USB port - i.e. front or back of the computer. That one took me over an hour to sort out.

adb works, usb cable is the 3rd i'm using, usb ports are on laptop, i've tried them all. drivers are up to date I'll try another computer and report back
EDIT: i've just tried on a new computer i got 3 days ago, same problem, odin fails at setupconnection, i'm guessing this might be a problem with odin but i can't find a new version

Attached is the Odin that I just used with my S4 to do a factory restore. Pretty sure it's the same thing you've been using, but maybe it'll work.
Also, make sure Kies isn't running. If I remember right, when I had my S3 it prevented Odin from properly making a connection. I would go into task manager to kill the process.
One last thing, try to disable USB debugging and re-enable it.

Its the exact same thing to the byte. Kies has been uninstalled, this was the second thing i did after changing USB ports. And for debug, i've thought about that too but no success... -_-

[MOD] Custom Boot Screen (for Gingerbread ROM's)

Well I had been getting asked a lot lately about the GB ROM's and my original boot screen packages that I had created where I modified a param.lfs to contain no boot image and allowed a script to place whatever image you wanted in it's place for a custom boot logo. In the past I had edited the param.lfs for the AT&T i897 bootloaders which does not work with the GB boot loaders.
This is not the boot animation, nor the kernel logo, but the first logo your phone displays when it's turned on.
Anyhow, I re-wrote the param.lfs to allow a blank for the logo.jpg that Gingerbread calls upon in the bootloader and it works great. So for all of you that used my boot screen package in the past for i897, i9000 and t959 2.1, 2.2 and 2.2.1 ROM's, here it is again for 2.3+ ROM's.
This should also work fine for Vibrant but I will check in case any T959 people are scoping this out.
These will not be compatible with CM7 (due to the proprietary fs used on param.lfs)...
Big thanks to TRusselo for being a BETA tester, tossing in the latest ODIN package and writing the readme as well as contributing the JPEG's offered in the package. I decided to keep the Canadian boot screens for you northern neighbors on the Roger's network up there...

Done, soft-bricked (Odin failed) but got back into DL mode and re-flashed. I've got the i896 logo up there now.
Thanks a lot!
yeah odin sometimes does that... the newer odin does that LESS.. lol.
i soft bricked a few times using this.
just keep forcing the params until it passes, no need to go back to stock!
with GB button combos, and the soft brick, i found:
Vol Down + USB = Download mode
Vol Down + Pwr = Soft brick screen.
hope that helps.
Just an fyi to anyone not familiar with it, but you will have to make sure you have your screen active when running the batch file so that you can click Allow to the superuser permission request when it attempts to mount the partition.
This wasn't noted in the readme, someone without much experience might miss it.
Just a question but why are there some screens with "AM HUNG" as the name and not Samsung?

When you soft bricked and reflashed did you have to do the whole rom or just this process in particular?

I
have adb installed and working for at least a year now. However, your program just tells me that adb is not recognized as a command. at the end it does say enjoy your new bootscreen and it gives me a screwed up bootscreen. Yes the file is only 96kb and yes I named it correctly. and yes I have usb debugging on and no the phone isn't mounted. I am using mosaic 1. Any ideas?

Have you rebooted the PC? ADB is known to get stuck sometimes. Also retry the process but make sure to close all the adb.exe processes using task manager.

OK I restarted the comp and made sure their were no adb processes running and still your tool does not work it says killing all adb processes and then says adb is not recognized as an internal command. I know adb works because I used cmd:adb devices and it showed my phone. So what is the deal with this program? I am on 7 but I used run as administrator so it should work.

It's got to be something with your instance. I use this all the time with Windows 7 x64...

2.37 has been rooted!

I have tested it on my phone, it works perfect!
SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH. I HAVE THE CHINESE WORDS ON MY PHONE, SO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE ENGLISH EXACTLY IS. I TRANSLATED THEM ON MYSELF, IF YOU DONOT UNDERSTAND MESSAGE ME.
1, you should FLASH RECOVERY TO YOUR PHONE, and that will not be talked here. lots of threads can tell you how to do it.(I HAVE PLACED ONE WAY TO DO IT ON THE SECOND PAGE)
2, unpack "root.rar" into your DISK C, and the folder must be "root"
3, now mark the "debug mode"( you can find it in application Settings) , connect your phone to your computer( just CHARGING MODE)
4, press win+R on your PC keyboard, and type in "cmd".
5, now we can see dos commond, you should type in the following commond one by one.
CD C:\root
adb shell
reboot recovery
6, now your phone should reboot into recovery. select mounts and storage. there select 3 items( mount /system, mount /data, mount /sdcard)
7, disconnect your phone, and connect it again. then type the following commonds into your PC. NOTE THE SPACE
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push superuser.apk /sdcard/superuser.apk
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
8, if you can see "~#" on your screen, you have made it. I have encountered a error on the 5th commond but it seems like ok, afterall I have been rooted.
9, you still have some commond to type.
cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/
cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
chmod 06555 /system/bin/su
10, now on your phone you should still have the recovery, unmount the /system, data, sdcard.
11, reboot your phone, and enjoy it!
Thanks very much for the help of pxw816, without him I still in dark.

Sorry for forgeting to upload the file. It works on the chinese rom, I think all rom can be rooted this way...
Anyone willing to see if this would work on a Telus Desire HD with 2.43?
Anyone tried this ?
I'm quite sure this only works on the Chinese ROM. But I might give it a try
I have tried this, but it does not seem to work with my version. The recovery boot doesn't seem to work correctly, I believe this is the problem.

hey man,u say u got 2.37 rooted and then when i looked at the first line u said u need to flash recovery
u can't flash recovery if u don't have s-off so u have to be rooted in the first place,
i guess u already have a rooted device with s-foof so u could install recovery
any way thanks for ur help

I'm not quite sure about that, for people who do not have a recovery may place the following file on your TF card( DO NOT PLACE IT INTO ANY FOLDER!), and shut down your phone(I MEAN COMPLETELY OFF, OR YOU CAN PULL OUT YOUR BATTERY). Then try to press the volume down button and the switch button at the same time to start your phone. See if the recovery can be installed automatically or not. if not, I'm afraid you have to downgrade to root and get a S-Off. If you do not know how to downgrade, post here, and see if i can give you any help or not.
This will never work, you will need Root and S-OFF to flash recovery. (thanks hawks556 for pointing that out)

[A70B/IT2 HC][3.2.81 update] Enabling SDE and rooted firmware package

First:
Warning! This is only for A70B/A70IT2 Honeycomb model, It won't work on Froyo model!
Here is a package that enables unofficially SDE menu in recovery and install a rooted stock firmware with busybox and SuperUser.Apk
Pre-Requisite:
- Adb must be enabled on tablet and PC driver+adb command must be working. You can test on pc with "adb shell", it should give you a '$' prompt. If you don't have this, first make it work. There are multiple links around to help if needed.
Instructions:
- Unzip files on your pc in adb.exe directory.
- Launch enable_sde.bat on your pc. It's better to do it in a cmd.exe window, you'll be able to copy-paste log here if anything goes wrong.
- Follow instructions in the cmd window. Basically, script reboots tablet multiple times, you have to press enter when tablet is completely booted each time.
- Congratulation, your device is sde enabled and has a rooted sde firmware. Please read below for more information.
Upgrades:
If you already installed a first version and enabled sde already, here is how to install new rooted firmware:
- Optional: flash updated stock firmware. I always recommend to match stock firmware, it avoids dalvik-cache rebuilds and bootloaders may have been updated in new firmwares.
- Boot rooted firmware. You should be running rooted firmware if you want upgrade script to work. To be sure of that, you should see SuperUser app in your apps menu.
- Unzip files on your pc in adb.exe directory
- Launch upgrade.bat (or upgrade.sh for linux)
- Tablet reboots at the end to rooted firmware and should be upgraded to new version.
SDE information:
1) What is SDE?
SDE (Special Developer Edition) is basically a dual boot mechanism. It allows us to dual boot Archos stock firmware and our custom ones.
2) How does it work ?
I won't give much details on how to use it, I should do a separate topic about this one someday. Until then, here is some basic information:
- At the end of this script, you are booted with sde firmware, superuser should be in your start menu and you should be root with adb or any root app.
- If you reboot or boot, press volume up while booting, it will display the dual boot menu. Select "Developer Edition", it will start the rooted build (check here point 9 to see how it looks).
- If you missed volume key or don't do anything during reboot, you will go back to unrooted stock firmware. You have to press the volume up key during boot to get the boot menu.
- Warning: booting stock firmware is harmless except that you will loose your SuperUser.apk preferences. As it's not part of stock firmware, Android clears it.
- You can boot straight to rooted firmware by deleting the stock firmware kernel in recovery. Check here, do point 4,5, and on screen 6, select "Remove Android Kernel". Make sure that you have properly working SDE firmware before doing that. If you want to re-enable back stock firmware, just flash it from recovery again.
Downloads:
3.2.80 can be downloaded here: Mirror 1 (Mediafire), Mirror 2 (Sendspace).
3.2.81 can be downloaded here: Mirror 1 (SendSpace) (bat fixed)
Sorry, Mediafire no longer let me upload without signup, if you know one good upload location without registration and allowing more than 200 MB, let me know.
*reserved*
Registered just to say thank you!
Worked like a charm, and no problems using the shell script (I run Arch Linux)
Keep up the good work!

I think there is an error in upgrade.bat and enable_sde.bat for 3.2.81.
The line that reads:
adb push android_32.ext4.update /media/
should read:
adb push android_32.ext4.update /data/media/
Also, upgrade.bat is missing the line that says:
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
Keep up the good work and thanks again.

Yes, this is normal, this one is only needed when enabling sde first time. local.prop is coming from temp root and won't be there anymore.
I finally had time to try it out tonight, all seemed to be installed fine, but I don't see the Superuser in the apps list... I can boot into developers fw menu though. Did I miss something or should I just try to reinstall the SDE again by running that bat file again?
No, as ColinTaylor said, there is a typo in script, you just need to push the ext4.update at root of storage.
Just type this command in the directory you unzipped the files:
Code:
adb push android_32.ext4.update /data/media/
then boot sde.
Hello

adb is a developer tool from android sdk that let you execute commands on your tablet from your PC. You have to install android sdk to get it, you need to enable it on the tablet and have a proper driver.

Thanks, but I get stuck at 3.
I go to search -> cmd and then I type adb sideload CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip in it. I think this is wrong but I never worked with ADB.

Works fine here
You need to install adb then cd to the adb directory, then type the command.
Why is it even in dev section?

Hey guys, Just apply the .zip from external card via recovery, the .zip in OP, worked for me
Edit: Yes mate, I used that file only, you copied it from Sprint S2's JB thread? Coz I can see the screenshot is of Oct 11 firmware.

Buy mobile odin, flash the rom, then you will get root. Quite simple.
I love new rom.
But it wipe all my data system apps...

This is why adb sideload is powerful (as on sprint we were never able to access sdcard)
If you want, I can give proof, I'm currently restoring apps from Ti Backup Pro

[Utility] Desktop Rom Flasher!! (Drag Drop & Flash!)

Hello everyone, so I developed a small application called Desktop Flasher. All you need to do is drag the zip you want to flash and it'll automatically push it to your phone, write the appropriate script, and reboot you into recovery, and perform the flashing procedure. I hope to add new features (wireless support) as time goes on. Try it out and tell me what you think

FAQ
I get a failed to push script/or during the first run program it can't detect my device in recovery mode!
You probably don't have the drivers installed for adb in recovery mode. It's easy though! Follow this quick guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875
Okay, so the program says "Great your Phone will do the rest" and my phone reboots into recovery, but nothing happens...wth??
Most likely the issue is that you're using a recovery that doesn't support openrecoveryscripting. (The official version of CWM and TWRP do)
How to connect device ? ... is debug mode?

Yes, just make sure USB debugging is on, and your drivers are already installed.
will it work with a Galaxy Note
Custom Rom and cwm
I made a few themes and had always to copy over the zips and flash them via phone
so I would be really happy if it will work on my device

Cool. Yeah this should work on any device, I and any recovery with Openscript available (TWRP and CWM). I haven't tested cwm but I can confirm that it works on TWRP.

Alright, I think I figured it out. Does the location you're dropping from or the zip itself happen to have any "spaces" in the name? E.X. D:\documents\my rom\rom.zip
the zip definitely not,
but I look at folder on pc tomorrow,
now it's off already
will report then

Alright Cool.
Released a new update, it'll fix possible flash errors in recovery.
jup, it was the spaces in the zip :good:
but now it shows: Failed to push Script
the files are copied to phone correctly

Okay, I just released an update that'll fix it. To update the program just open it, then hit the exit button, and it'll update. The problem was with some devices you can't push to /cache unless you're in recovery. When I'm running sense it works fine, but whenever I switch to AOSP, I would run into that issue. Fixed now
I used the new one v1.1
sorry, I just saw there's a 1.2
will try it again

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------
I just tried it with the new 1.2,
but unfortunately it booted into recovery without doing anything else,
it´s like I would boot into recovery manually
then after a few seconds it pops up again: Failed to push Script :crying: :crying: :crying:

Hmmm...alright. Lol thanks for being my only dignified tester haha. Okay, can you do me a favor. Download the zip I attached to this post, and run the recovery.bat file. (It'll reboot your device into recovery and attempt to push a file to your cache after a 25 second delay) and can you tell me the output. (Whether it pushes or gives a permission error) Thanks.
no problem m8,
I'm lucky to test a tool which helps me later
I'll test it later, bcs I have to watch a horror movie right now,
