[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Jayadratha Mondal:
Great explanations

Now I have another question. CWM replaces samsung's default recovey. right??

Then if I want to unroot then will it be possible to replace this CWM with the stock recovery?? And If it is possible then will be noticeable by samsung if I go to samsung care??
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] kk9999gada:
After rooting:

First of all use Triangle away app for resetting binary counter and then flash stock rom and do a factory reset.

Flashing Stock Rom using odin will also revert back recovery to Stock Recovery and you will also be unrooted.

Thats it you will remove all the traces of rooting and Kies will also detect your phone it means you have not rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Bassel Bakr:
CWM replaces samsung's default recovey. right?

Yep, that's right

Then if I want to unroot then will it be possible to replace this CWM with the stock recovery?

It's possible to replace even without root access, but that's not enough, you need to remove /system/xbin/su as well.

If you want to unroot your phone I suggest the following (you can also flash your official stock rom using Odin):

Flash your stock recovery.

Either by using:

Odin

Terminal Emulator (copy your stock recovery.img file to your, let's say, USB storage /sdcard and type the following codes and press enter after each line)

su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12

Note:!!! be careful when you deal with your partition table:

mount point	fstype	device	format option	mount option	device2

/boot emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p8	default	default

/cache ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p17	default	default

/data ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p18	default	default

/misc emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p21	default	default

/preload ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p22	default	default

/sdcard vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p23 default	default	/dev/block/mmcblk0

/system ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p16	default	default

/efs	ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p19	default	default

/recovery emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p12	default	default

/sys_boot vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p3	default	default

Open Triangle Away > RESET FLASH COUNTER (only if you used Odin)

Open SuperSU > Settings > choose "FULL UNROOT"

If it is possible then will be noticeable by samsung if I go to samsung care?

As long as you your flash counter is ZERO (no yellow triangle), no custom recovery or kernel and everything is stock specially boot animation they will notice nothing. :victory:

By the way I suggest using TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) over CWM.

It's way more better, not just because it has touch UI, file manager, terminal emulator or nandroid backups compression. It can ROOT your phone (just flash it and reboot into recovery mode then choose REBOOT > SYSTEM)

It will tell that you don't have root access and it will ask you if you want to root before booting or not, swipe to root or choose DON'T INSTALL if you don't want root access.

Get it from here: TWRP v2.5.0.0 Build 3 By TheWhisp.tar.md5

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] 718:
The total backup with the xBackup saves lots of settings including these.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] gd5gd:
Yes, of course xbackup can do it. But what I mean is only backup the setting of IA Caller ID because it will be more convenient when you flash your rom to another version or another language.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Rayan:
Well, I've been using Sprite's Backup (which is supposed to be more reliable and robust than xbackup) and does not restore my IA Caller ID settings! :cry:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] gd5gd:
There is a table named IA_Photo_Contacts in directory of databases when you browse your device during activesync connection. Anyone can tell me where the exact location of tables in databases directory ? Can I really backup my phone and ringtone setting if I backup this table ?

Thank you
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bnycastro:
also using sprite backup and my caller id settings are not backed up as well...

the database solution is worth a try though... maybe after I finish setting up my ppc I will try this (I'm doing a fresh install right now -- hard reset)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] doodlefutz:
Hi,

I'm running CM10.1 now with TWRP recovery, and it's working pretty well for me. The trouble is this: I want to do some development with bluetooth 4.0 (BLE), and the S3 is one of the few Android phones that currently supports it. Since it's not going to be included in official Android until v.18, it's also not in CM10.1.

So, I want to be able to flash a stock ROM to my GS3. Stupid me, I didn't make a backup before I started rooting (back on CM10.0 M2 or so). Most of the guides and ROMs I can find for stock are designed to get the phone back to stock, unrooted, Android so you can take it back to Sprint. Does anyone have a link to a ROM that is stock, but rooted?

On a related note, should I have any problems flashing back and forth between CM10.1 and stock using TWRP?

Thanks!

EDIT: Well after searching some more, I may have answered my own question. I found freeya's Stock, 4.1.2, deodexed ROM here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1910947&highlight=freeza+stock

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Thatoddgentleman:
I see. I suppose that makes sense, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to mobile devices. My other question, which I asked in the Q and A section only to be ignored for the past two days is this:

is it at all possible to upgrade the 4.2 galaxy player to ICS or Jellybean?

I know this should be in a q and a thread and so on but really, I'm looking for an answer, not to be ignored for two days only to get a short answer that doesn't give me...well...an actual answer. I know how these sites work and usually that is what happens unless you make a new thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SerkTheTurk:
Well first you need a dev to get ICS/JB for the device. Currently I'm working on CM7 which is still GB but it's a start... And I'm not really an experienced dev it's just that there's really no one else to try it.

so its out, how do we root it? any existing methods that work for it? also why doesn't it have a section here on XDA

its called WPT005 it's by Iriver and is JB 4.1.1 Tried many drivers and root tools, no luck ;/ also there's no adb driver for it ? ? had to use the generic google one but it doesn't work right

have searched all over the webs and nothing >.<

if somebody figures out how to root please share:3

also I made a driver for btjoystick for the wikipad gamepad, covers everything, if you want it, get it here ^^

http://www.mediafire.com/?gorvtaa3ty0d5w4 if we ever get root on the wikipad this driver will be invaluable:3 as it will allow the gamepad to be mapped to any onscreen joystick or button in any and every game

If I may, I have a favor to ask. Could you post a screenshot of something using root functionality? It's not that I don't believe that you got it running, but I'm nervous about risking it without being %100 because I'm a big baby. Afaik you can't fix it if you brick without having stock rom recoveries and whatnot, so it's tough to wanna risk that. I really wanna get some touchscreen mapping to the controls though.

root works but cant install CWM

I picked up one of these as well, and the root worked, but I am having a problem actually getting CWM installed. The fastboot command prompt on my PC wont every get past "waiting for device". I followed the instructions in the readme, but I'm not sure I'm actually getting the tablet into the right "mode". I held Vol+ and Power to get to a menu with options of "Boot Normally", "Fastboot Protocol", "Recovery Kernel", and "Forced Recovery". I used Vol- to go to "Fastboot Protocol" and hit Vol+, which brings me to another menu with "Bootloader","Continue","Reboot-bootloader","Reboot", and "Power Off". None of these seem to let fastboot on the pc recognize the tablet. What am I doing wrong?

It was rumoured that Android 4.3 will be launched with the stock HTC One version, but there was no trace of the new version of Android when the device was launched recently. Recently the camera interface for the Android 4.3 was leaked by someone having 4.3 running on a Nexus 4 at a Thai expo. The new UI was supposed to come with Android 4.3, instead Google has decided to put some new features of Android 4.3 on these phones instead of the complete new update. Now, we have the apk and you can install it in any device just like you install any application.

I have been trying out some backup tools to see which one is best.

One of the ones I tried was SPB Clone which at first glance looks excellent.

It can make a self extracting image of your PPC on an SD card in about 3 minutes. Very cool.

However.....WARNING !!!!!

I decided to try it to see if it really did backup and restore everyting.

The answer is, pretty much, yes. However, I didn't buy a copy because it costs...wait for it....$300....no....there is no decimal point missing !

I used the demo version...I mean...that's what a demo version is for, right ?

Now, my pocketpc keeps popping up with a message box that says, "This device was restored with a demo version of SPB Clone. Please buy a full version to get rid of this annoying message" (or words to that effect).

I read the Engadget (or was it Gizmodo) article comparing the two phones and they claimed that Sense camera app took better photos. However, they also said it could just be built-in processing. I don't care much for the built-in filters since I do most of the editing with 3rd party apps. So, I'm wondering whether it's /just/ the processing and not that the Stock app can't take advantage of the bigger pixels.
