Having issues unrooting!

I'm using flipz 1.56 RUU and for some reason, when it tells me to connect the phone to the PC, it says it cannot be found. I usually use a MAC to connect my Hero and all sorts of stuff, and I just found a PC to be able to unroot. What seems to be the issue? I know the phone is connected because I can look at it's folders and such.

I'm having this EXACT same issue... But, if you can look at its folders, go into the notifications and set it to "charge only" and make sure USB debugging is enabled.

You need to install HTC Sync on the PC in order to use the RUU.

Grrr...oh well unrooting I stay

Am about to unroot so I can take my Hero in to sprint, I have dust under the screen. Anyone want to point out the best (easiest) way to unroot?
I seen a post where it could be done by just sdcard, would that or using the kitchen be the best way to go?
I am running a 2.1 ROM.
Thanks!

Method 1 is dead simple

Just 5 steps?? WoW
I looked for a little bit today at work and could not find anything this easy. LOL
Anyone tested this?
1. Download the following file: http://www.multiupload.com/Q3RMV5MTRF
2. place in /root of SD card
3. Reboot phone into HBoot mode, by holding Volume Down
4. Press action (the trackball) when prompted
5. Reboot phone

while i havent done it, so cant confirm, the unroot from sd does seem to be the most foolproof way to do it. all their going to look for is the correct recovery.img and stock feel, so it only makes sense

Cool, Thanks!! I am going to give this a try (15 mins before I run in to sprint) I am going to hate to go with about my custom rom and add the added stuff I get with root!

HBoot is recovery mode, When you power up the phone holding down the volume button.

{EDIT} Still not sure what the problem was. But I ran the older kitchen and tried the rooter and it worked just jine. {edit}
OK, I did the 5 little steps and then I went to kitchen to root my phone again..
I phone reboots and when I try to go to HBoot so I can nandroid a backup I have I get this screen.

Root device? Safe?

Hi!
I have had this phone for a while now and thinking about rooting it so i can use droidwall and OC the phone. How is the easiest wat and is it safe?
Isak

i used z4root and no side-effect so far..

Ok, but if something goes wrong is it anyway to recover all data on the phone and just start up again?

i would say its always wise to do a backup before trying anything potentially dangerous..
u may read the other topic about recovery mode in this board for this..

Ok, gör det innan jag försöker roota

good luck and have fun..

worked perfect Thanks!

@Isakk1, can you please guide me how you rooted your u8800 using z4root?I got problem with the driver (huawei hsusb device)
hoping for your immediate response.tnx

do it in your own risk and make sure your understand what rooting is before rooting
get z4root, install it, run it, select "permanent root", wait until it reboots, done.

I need the driver dude..i keep searching on google but it's hard to find the exact file in this device.

USB driver for windows? do you see the auto mounted CD drive after plugging in? the drivers are there

Why need of drivers?
Assuming you are trying to copy z4root on your device... SD-card should mount itself when you plug usb in, just choose to mount from your phone notification are.

Moved to general.

I think this is what you're trying to do:
1. Open device manager, you will see this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then right click on the HSUSB Device choose update driver then browse my computer manually. Then browse to this:
It will then install the driver and it should show this in device manager now:
Also worthwhile would be starting cmd and running adb devices to make sure the phone is listed.

thankz a lot guys..very appreciated

i rooted my phone . but i feel it's not good idea when i use 1 week. the phone always have some issues when use, so i flash back.

Can someone upload the drivers and share the link coz I can't find the drivers on the mounted drive (it's empty) after I installed the B160 based ROM.

Drivers attached to this post

Thanks alot!

I used z4root from Applanet.net
installed easily and rooted no probs as well.

How to Reset Samsung Foucs

Folks,
I got a new Samsung focus (Re 1.3) yesterday , followed a tutorial from youtube to install custom rom. Everything went good , like installing MAGLDR and later reset and installing ROM. After installing ROM, the guy told that teh SAMSUNG logo appears for a long time and we have to poweroff by removing the battery. I did the same but nothing was working on my mobile. It starts booting shows samsung screen and stucks at the following screenshot, i tried to connect it to laptop as it showed in screenshot,but even hours dint helped anything. Now i can only see the download mode , not even the format mode. I searched how to reset to factory setting, but nothing was found useful. I found two posts one with instructions and files are corrupted, one post with files but no instructions. please help me with this.
​Thanks,
WY.

Flash a stock rom from here (UCJK2 for Focus revision 1.3 / UCJK3 for 1.4).
Here's a flash tutorial.

Thank you very much for your help.. but some reason my mobile was not detected in the loader..everything was green but Start button is disabled and the mobile was not shown in the ports section.
Some how i am able to start it in format mode cancel and it went to magldr cmd..installed everything and this time works perfect.
Appreciate your help but i still dint get why start button was disable.

To "green" the port in the flasher, unplug the USB from your comp, wait about 2-3 seconds and plug it back. Just before flashing (after all are loaded).

As EnderPsp said u should always start the downloader first and then connect the phone in download mode.

i tried either way.. first attempt i connected mobile after loading the files as said in tutorial.. but start button was disabled and the mobile is not shown in ports section of the flasher..but it was shown clearly in system bar that mobile is connected and even safe remove was showing the mobile name. sorry to ask so many questions, its just in case it will be very useful for others in future.. thank you very much for your valuable replies.

Try it in another computer, one that has as less apps as possible.

[Q] Help! Screen broke with PIN lock, need help mounting file system with CWM.

So I had the magical luck of having my S4 fall out of my pocket while closing my car door, shattered to pieces, no touch response from the glass.
The problem is, I had the device locked with a pattern & pin, so I can't just plug in and backup all my photos and stuff that were saved with local device storage. I also can't get adb to connect to the device (with developer options enabled), I always get a "device offline" error (I've updated ADB to the current 4.2.2 version, but I cant whitelist it because I can't allow it from the phone without touch)
Now, I still have root, and I was able to blindly install CWM (the OUDHS-Recovery-jfltespr-1.0.3.3.tar) version with Odin. I'm assuming it went well because I heard the sprint chime on restart.
WHAT I NEED: Is someone to either give me some screenshots (or number of button presses) to enable internal storage to be accessible by usb in cwm (also how to get into it too). I figure if I'm able to use volume presses and the home button I can get to my internal files. Other than this option I'm at a loss before I return it. If anyone can help I would be so damn grateful.
I'll draw you a picture too.
EDIT 1: I have a picture of the main CWM screen from a youtube video here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now all i need is the mount and storage menu

So nobody can help? I didn't think a cwm menu was that hard to come by with an S4.

Were you able to connect with adb before? Was usb debugging checked in settings before the drop?
If you could get adb to connect, you could use a program like android screencast to view your phones screen on your computer.

That was my first move actually.
Problem is, even though debugging was enabled, I can't whitelist my PC from my phone. This is a new 4.2.2 feature to prevent data theft ironically.
All of these options will just return an "adb: device offline" error when it's connected. Trust me, I wish it was that easy.

You can't connect while in recovery either?
It would be kind of a pain, but you could pull multiple files that way.

It's not really big problem. Simple way is TOTAL reset phone by KDZ Updater.
I will give You link to MEGA Cloud (it's a name of this ) with my ZIP which contains KDZ Updater and V10F_00.kdz file.
To reset Your phone by KDZ:
FIRST: Open KDZ Updater after decompress ZIP file.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
SECOND: After the program is opened, select following options:
a) "3GQCT" in "Type" should be selected.
b) "DIAG" in "PhoneMode",
c) Browse Your KDZ file...
d) ...and path to this file will appear in this place...
...AND WAIT.
Now You should do something with Your phone.
(I)Turn it on, BUT...
...You must click and HOLD 2a, 2b and 1. I'm sorry, I changed the sequence of steps in the picture.
(II) Screen should turn on and show text "Emergency Mode!" on yellow background.
(III) Now plug LG to computer.
(IV) It probably won't recognize Your phone, You have to don't care about it, BUT Windows (because I think You have Windows ) must play sound for plugging USB. Then You can click "Launch software update" in KDZ Updater.
After all Your phone will reboot itself.
And DONE!
PS If LG will not repair, try to change "PhoneMode" to "EMERGENCY" or "CS_EMERGENCY".
Oh, here's the link:

thank you but i tried this way and the bad thing is the phone not working by any way ( emergency mode or download mode )

What do you mean when you say "it's not working"? Cann't you boot it? Have you got any error message?

yes i can't boot it .. no response

Hello Alex_4ever,
If you want someone help you, you should be more specific. What did you do? or what had your tried? and what was your result?
I mean, I suppose you use a Windows PC (problems and solutions change with different OS). I suppose you rooted your device... Have you install a custom recovery? Have you tried accessing to recovery mode?
I think emergency mode and download mode is the same (Emergency download mode)
You can boot with a hardware buttons combination or with a command from the PC via USB (Of course, you could use last one with some conditions.)
The hardware buttons combination is different for Emergency/download mode and recovery mode
Restart in Recovery mode by pressing, Power Button + Volume Down + Menu button
I don't know if that works:
