Unroot S4 mini (already on stock rom) - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I can find loads of guides to unrooting when stock rom needs flashing, but I am already running stock rom so don't really want to go thought the hassle of losing everything again.
I read a post that said I need to delete SU binary, but tried with root explorer and it wont let me delete it says it's read only
Any tips on how I can unroot when I am already on the correct official rom?
Thanks

Yes that appears to have worked thanks, but I still can't do official updates it can still tell phone has been modified? What now? Thanks
Edit: Think it will let me do it with Kies! Fingers crossed

Do you have a custom recovery installed? That will stop it. You may have to Odin back to complete stock to get it to update
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

Oh yeah! Forgot about that, that makes sense. I was so close it let me do the update with Kies and rebooted, appeared to work just fine but killed my wifi, wont even let me turn wifi on strange...

OK so there was no shortcut, without a part brick so I had to re-install in Odin, thanks anyway for you help

[Q] Problem with ROOT, ROM and Recovery

Hi,
I was in doubt between doing or not doing the ROOT in my Galaxy S4 4G (GT-I9505)...
But I tried to start doing it.
I asked a friend who had already made it on his device!
At first he tried to install the recovery, so I would not lose my S4.
He used the Odin as he did for himself, but it faild. So I gave up doing te ROOT and we stopped.
Ok then, but today I looked for an upgrade original from Samsung on my device. But it said:
"Your device was modified. Upgrades are not available."
What can I do now?? I need to reset it to the original form or finish the ROOT successfully.
And I can't even put my device on recovery mode! It fails.
Please, help me!
I don't know what to do and this is my first post.
Ps.: out of this problem, my device is functioning normally.
Thank you!

Do you need root, is there something you can`t do without root atm or do you want to remove useless/unneeded stuff?
Better read up about rooting, flashing, recovery`s, roms and Odin so you`ll know what the (dis)advantages, risks and benefits are before you get into trouble
Do the following for now:
1. Download CF Auto Root from here http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip and extract it once with 7-zip.
2. Download Odin 3.04 http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168422&d=1341114468.
3.Enable usb debugging and disable Kies (also in windows task manager)
4. Place the extracted CF Root md5 file in Odin in the PDA section.
5. Put he phone in downloadmode (turn off the phone and then press volume down first and then the power button)
6. Connect to pc and and press start if you see ID;COM light up and you see a com number.
Reboot and you have root. Also install Busybox from Google Play.

By now I just need to get my normal Rom to recieve Samsung's upgrades!
What can I do to reverse it!?
I thought I did nothing, because it faild, but something happened...
And now I cant put on recovery mode!
I'm afraid to do anything!
Can I undo all of these and have my normal original rom without root?
and if I reset it, will I lose all my stuff?
It says on the "about":

Do as said in the post above first. Then install Triangle Away and use that to reset the counter, when its done go straight to downloadmode and reflash the rom you have now with Odin 3.04, after it boots do a data factory reset and you`re fully stock with everything Official.

Yes, you can go back.
The easiest way is to flash a stock ROM via Odin, search for the ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252855 and follow the instructions.

[Q] How to repair OTA update

I had my Tmo S5 rooted and I tried to OTA update. I forgot to uninstall it and now I cant get the OTA. Idk what update it was if it was Lollipop or not. Right now Im on a stock 4.4.2 now non-rooted. How to I get the proper update OTA or do I just say FACK IT and reroot and just flash with a custom Lollipop ROM?

It won't brick anything if you follow the onscreen instructions to the point. No it doesn't matter that I gave you a UK link. If you're afraid of losing personal data (apps/photos) make a full nandroid backup and copy that to your pc, then copy all your personal photos and files to your pc. Then download and install Kies and follow the onscreen instructions. :good:

No you're not supposed to lose anything. The word "flash" in this context comes from the act of writing data to the flash based ROM chips. So to "flash" means to "write".
I told you to make a full backup in recovery and a manual backup of your files just in case you are worried. But it's always good to make backups.
Generally when flashing roms, I follow these three simple steps:
1 Make a full backup of your current rom in recovery
2 Flash new rom without wiping (aka dirtyflash), see if it works
3 Only if apps start bugging and crashing do a full wipe and flash new rom again

I wiped the cash data and reset the device to factory settings and it won't start again.

I've done that already, and my phone is running just fine now. Although I didn't download the firmware from sammobile, and I got it from android-updates.com, which is slightly different, and contains apps and games pre-installed in it. Thanks a lot for your suggestion, and I promise I'll keep that mind. After all, I'm just starting to use android, and this is my first "failed" attempt as aneeded android user. I got to admit that I didn't face such complicated problems with iOS ?

Pokmemon Go/ Uninstalled Kingroot and derooted boot screen custom & gear icon on boot

Pokmemon Go/ Uninstalled Kingroot and derooted boot screen custom & gear icon on boot
Hi, so a while ago I tried using kingroot and installed it for a little bit and used root to uninstall some factory installed apps like amazon, etc. then when i decided i did not want root anymore. i used the kingroot app to remove root and then uninstalled the kingroot application.
then i downloaded a root checker app to see if i was rooted. i was not.
now whenever i boot up my phone it says samsung and then the word custom with a gear icon below it.
now when i tried the newest version of pokemon go version 0.37.0 it says it cannot run on my device cause apparently it thinks i am rooted.
is there anyway to solve this? other than a factory reset?
I don't think a factory reset would help either.
You'd have to delete every trace of root left on your device, and kingroot probably left some files behind.
Unless you can find them, the most sure method is to flash another ROM (stock) though Odin.
I believe a custom kernel would also work, or the stock boot.img of your current ROM.

The ROM you can get from Sammobile. As for the files left behind, I don't know how kingroot handles those, but to access and delete them you would have to be rooted.

I already told you that a factory reset does not unroot.
If you want to completely unroot, flash the stock ROM.
If you don't want that, downgrade to Pokémon version 0.35.
0.37 has not even been officially released yet. I mean, I don't even have it on the play store and it's the same for many others.
PS: Xposed also needs root.

You don't need a pit file. And if the files are wrong, the instalation will just fail.

Flashed 930UUEU on a 930A

Just got this phone in yesterday as a replacement for a water damaged LG G3. Thought to myself that I was pretty good at rooting, flashing etc. so I decided that would be the first thing I would do. Long story short, I rooted the phone just fine and even flashed the non-bloatware-filled rom available with little problem. Then I tried to flash xposed with flashfire and, well, things didn't go so smoothly. Ended up getting stuck on the AT&T splash screen after every reboot. To attempt a fix for this I thought I would just use Odin to flash stock, what I thought was stock but was really 930UUEU, once again. I am now realizing that I flashed the wrong firmware and am currently trying to flash G930AAT once more but keep getting "FAIL! Model dismatch fail" in Odin.
Open to any suggestions at this point as I am at a loss. I've tried using a different version of Odin, 3.12.3, but to no avail have not been able to get it right. Let me know if you need any more information as to help me with this problem. Thanks in advance!
You're probably flashing an older firmware than what's on phone? Which verison are you trying to flash?

Currently the phone boots straight into recovery. I get the update droid that fails and am sent to the options where it has me as running G930UUEU2APEH. I am pretty certain that this is the firmware I mistook as stock and half-flashed with odin. Still able to get into download mode so let's hope I can work this out!
Download the U firmware that I posted and flash that. Should flash fine. I've done it several times with the mode Odin from the root thread with zero issues

Worked like a charm. Is there anything I should know about being on U firmware while having the 930A?

Alright, looks like I may have run into another problem. I've rooted and flashed xposed properly this time. Kept getting a security warning so I thought it would be okay to uninstall SecurityLogAgent.apk and I am now unable to install apps. This may just be a coincidence and it may be that I have a different problem. May also be important to note that I have to reinput my WiFi password after every reset.

Reflash the U firmware and that will restore the security log agent app. If your rooted you'll get that notification, you'll need to freeze one of the security apps in titanium. As for the WiFi password there is a fix for it in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039/page230.
Also you should probably flash his V15 fixes it will fix multiple things when you root.

Okay, flashed everything again. Everything was working great and now I am getting that error -505 again when trying to install apps.

I did, it fixed my WiFi issues and being I flashed the debloat version it also got rid of Instagram etc. so I am certain it worked. Could it have something to do with me installing lucky patcher?

Just an update. After some deduction I decided it must be lucky patcher. Uninstalled it, wiped dalvik cache and everything seems to be fine. I am still cautiously optimistic.
I'm no help on the root issues. Root isn't what it used to be so I don't really mess with it anymore.
