Unrooting a GT P1000 UK model...

My GT has suddenly developed quite a few dead pixels on screen (they weren't there last night!) I rooted it using CFRoot last week but I guess I'd better un-root to send it back to Samsung or they may not be too happy about my warranty
Can anyone please tell me how to un-root it? It took me ages to build up enough guts to root it a few days ago now I have to undo all my hard(ish) work!!

download z4root from market
u can see un-root
hope it help
regards.

There is various dead pixel fixing apps available.
By the way, please use proper titles. If you want to say please help put it in topic. Titles need to be descriptive otherwise teh forum turns to sh1t. For example something logical like "Dead pixels on tab" etc etc

Sorry about that! I was in the middle of a "lack of knowledge" panic attack !!
I'll download the app and using that. What are these dead pixel fixing apps? I thought dead pixels were a hardware issue?

Im really sorry to bother you guys again but I can't see Z4 root in the android market at all!
Is it no longer available?
I rooted the Tab using Odin and the CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS file when I updated to 2.3.3. Is there some way to undo this using Odin?
Apparently I need to remove all traces of rooting from the device or Samsung wont honour any warranty...
Many thanks

Just reflashed with stock and back to normal now..

Homey..would u mind telling me the steps on unrooting the p1000? i used the same root methods as you but i have no idea on how to unroot it
---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------
sorry guys,after reading the threads,i dont see any solutions on how to unroot..so what are the steps actually? i used the same root methods as Homey; which is using the CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS

Sure, no mystery! I just re-flashed it with the stock ROM and that did it. I'm sure that there's a simpler way but to be honest, this only took 10 mins so I went for that instead!

hmmm...sorry but im still a noob..where did u get the stock rom?
and how did u flash the tablet? using a software i assume.

its ok..done already,thanks

Sorry micikop9 for not relying - been away for a few days and only just got back.
Glad you managed to get it sorted out!

One click rooting method in less than 2 minutes

Root your phone without unlocking the bootloader. How? A new application called UnlockRoot does it all for you! Literally, all you need to do is download the UnlockRoot.exe, run it and enjoy your new rooted device. I can confirm that it is 100% working and took about 2 minutes from start to finish.
All you have to do is connect to your computer, enable USB debugging which is accessible through Settings>applications>devlopment>USB debugging
open UnlockRoot.exe and click root, after that it should take the comp. 1 min tounlock then 1 min to reboot then voila you have it rooted! You will then see the superuser app inside your app drawer. I recommend you to download busybox and titanium backup to have full control on your device. I've just rooted my xperia play and my wife's arc s using method. Both of them are running v2.3.4 so this should work on lower versions.
If there will be an instance wherein your device didn't reboot automatically,manually restart your device.

Have fun

Is this in any way better than supetoneclick, zergrush?

I checked out the site and it doesnt say compatible with Xperia PLAY or any SE phones for that matter. Plus I am already rooted and unlocked bootloader. The site looks a little questionable like maybe the software could be virus filled. I dont know though. Only way to find out would be to try it, and for that I have no reason to. IT show support for the Kindle Fire. Anyone try it?

It's put out by AnTuTu, the same people who do CPU Master. They have a link in the newest version of their app.
Probably uses exact same exploits as superoneclick

First of all that is not my site and i'm not a spammer. I only posted this method in two different forums,the other one is in the android general hacking tips. The only reason why i mentioned the site is because i'm having problems uploading the unlockroot.exe launcher in this thread. As you can see,i'm only a new member and i don't usually start threads. I'm just trying to help because i had a lot of frustrations using other rooting methods. I have a descent job and i'm not gonna benefit in spamming so don't accuse me. I just felt very excited to share this method as this worked like a charm for my xperia play. I'm not forcing you to try this so ban me if you feel like doing so.

I noticed that too but trust me,it worked for my xperia play and my wife's arc s. Both of them are running the latest android v2.3.4 that's why i'm very surprised that it worked. Other rooting methods didn't work for that version so i resorted to doomlord's method but i'm having problems installing the adb drivers as i'm using windows7. I'm so happy using this method because it's very safe,no need to unlock your bootloader. Best regards!

I already uploaded the direct link to the file so you can shut your mouth now. I've been itching to do that right from the start but this site won't allow me because i need to have at least 8 posts before i can attach external link. You're a senior member so you should've known that,think first before accussing me a spammer.

I'm curious, why not post directly to their site, instead of a link to a file host?
No, offense, but if you post directly to their home site, it makes it seem a lot more legit than just posting a link to your download account.

Sorry bro but i already did that when i started this thread. I just edited my post because that d31boy guy is accussing me of being a spammer and just promoting that site.

When I see a brand new poster posting a link to relatively unknown website for use of an unknown exe file, it's hard not to be suspicious. I mean, you obviously know the benefits of root and you know your way around this site. The site has absolutely no mention of how the root is applied (which isn't your fault provided you don't have an affiliation to the site ). It's a pretty big leap of faith.
However, I may have jumped in a bit too quick on this one. It would have been better just to report the post and allow a mod to make a more informed decision. For that, I apologise.

All this method is, is the zergRush method with a different name...
Here's what I did (quick run thought of what i did, attached screenshot for reference)
Downloaded it from the OP's post (http://unlockroot.com was running at 2000BYTES/SEC)
Installed it on my XP partition
rebooted, went to my linux partition
Mounted XP Partition
went to \Program Files\Unlockroot\tools\
Copied rootutility to /home/myusername/
adb shell rm -r /data/local/tmp
adb shell mkdir /data/local/tmp
adb push rootutility /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rootutility
adb shell /data/local/rootutility
and got the attachment

Use superuser app to update other apps on your device

Hi guys, do you see hangouts 2..0.122 on play store but the app on your device is still on 1.2.018 and you don't find an update option?
There is a way to update all your apps which are updated in play store but the update is not made available to you.
Unless you have Superuser app which you get once rooting your device using VROOT.
Open Superuser( VROOT's Chinese) app, open settings by clicking on the settings button in the top right corner.
Enable Auto check installed App update and go back.
In the permission tab, click on Upgraded option.
Here you will find list of all the app that you can update update them all or the one you want.
I hate waiting
Though I wouldn't recommend you to keep this Chinese superuser app - security issues as mentioned by @Toledo_JAB.
Thanks mate..

I would like to recommend that if anybody needs to ROOT their device, PLEASE use a way created by one of XDA's own developers.
XDA has concerns about security issues when using VROOT.
The staff is currently in talks with VROOT to remedy these issues.
The issues are with the rooting program, the super user app may be OK. I don't think it was looked at but if it connects to a server somewhere, it may have the same personal information issue.
Thank you for the cooperation in this matter,

Then what's the best way to root the Z1? If VRoot isn't safe, which should I use?

Sorry to disappoint you but as of now this is the only way to root z1. Hope some developer comes up with a secure way to root z1 soon.

REQUEST - A few official ATT 4.4.2 files :)

Hey all -
I was curious if I might ask for a hand with something. I'm looking for a handful of files from the official ATT 4.4.2 update. These files should be accessible without root and are not in any way sensitive or anything like that (I'm looking for csc/apn/build.prop sorts of things) - would someone that has taken the bold leap to official ATT 4.4.2 PM me? I can give you specifics on the files that I am looking for, and walk you through the process of getting them to me if need be.
Thanks much yall

PLEEEEAAAASEEE! lol

Fair enough. I never took the plunge for the official OTA so I won't be of much help. But... there should be many users out here with what you need.

Yep what wally said - the files I'm looking for are the sort I used to make a 4.3 version of something I put together for TMo play a bit nicer on the ATT side of things. I have most of what I need I believe (though I would still very much like to check it against the "official" stuff) but there are a few I would really like to see the official of before going very far down that road for 4.4.2 is all.

Sent you a PM as well.

Thanks guys

Hi again all
I was wondering if any of those official-4.4.2-ATT folks might humor me one more favor...
Similar to what I asked previously, I'm looking for some files on /system - specifically I'm looking for the entirety of the /system/vendor directory. Please PM me for instructions on how to grab this if needed (and if interested of course), and I am incredibly thankful and appreciative for any and all that are willing to help.

Just a thought, but perhaps it may be possible to use http://developer.samsung.com/androi...Emulators-for-Android-Application-Development and load csc, vendor info etc, via the copy of stock 4.4.2 rom courtesy UrDroid here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584994 ? Keeping in mind you are running the sdk via an IDE comparable to Netbeans, IntelliJ, or even Eclipse(cringe shudder...shiver...).

If you don't have network coverage on Digi, you can roam to Vodafone free of charge.
You get that prompt, because Vodafone signal is stronger than Digi's... the phone selects the strongest signal.
