OK, some background and disclaimers.

I searched as best as I could and read the FAQ and couldn't find anything that would help me--the relocker thread from 26 Nov 2012 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2017525) looked useful but too dated. So no flames please!

I bought this phone off a Verizon store manager in early June, who didn't mention that he had rooted it (or failed to return it to bone stock via re-locking it). Recently, it's been losing bluetooth connection to my car, losing the SIM Card connection, and failing to accept the OTA update (which is a daily, obnoxious occurrence). I checked with a VZW employee today and my phone is still under warranty, so I plan to send it in for replacement due to the former two problems.

Problem 1: Transferring a phone between accounts voids the warranty. Solved, as I won't say anything, and am mysteriously still under warranty.

Problem 2: Unlocking/rooting a phone voids the warranty. However, if I can manage to re-lock the phone, then all should be good.

I'm obviously a casual user and have zero idea how to re-lock the phone or even check if it's still rooted. Yes, I am a newbie.

What should I do?

Whenever I try to run the OTA, I am booted into ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.1.

Other relevant stuff:

Android 4.1.1

Software: 2.06.605.1 710RD

Please let me know what else you need to know.

Thank you!
[HTC Droid DNA] Phaded:
There is a guide in development
[HTC Droid DNA] Chadsius:
Would you mind linking? I looked into development and all I found was an "S-Off" thread for returning to stock and the first one I already linked.
[HTC Droid DNA] Phaded:
The s-off guide will do what you need for you. Just ignore the part about going back s-off if you are just trying relock

What does your bootloader say?
[HTC Droid DNA] Chadsius:
Ok. I'm doing my best to do it on my own without asking dumb questions, but the post I found (yours, actually-- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2293919) says it's for Facepalm/JTAG/RevOne/Moonshine, which I assume are OSes. But my understanding isn't that my phone is flashed or rooted, just that it's unlocked and I have to get rid of the bootloader, which is the Clockwork Recovery mod.

I just tried this http://www.androidcentral.com/is-my-phone-rooted with ConnectBot and don't appear to be rooted.
[HTC Droid DNA] Phaded:
All those names are s-off methods...

Just use my lock zip, ruu = profit
[HTC Droid DNA] Chadsius:
Thanks for your help. I had some trouble--mostly because I assume you wrote the guide for an average developer who already has all the SDK stuff installed on his computer, and I didn't. But I figured it out. Much appreciated!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halifaxmtt@gmail.com:
I have this phone which has the GB obtained from Samsung web site. I then rooted with J Scott option 2. Since then I dont have messaging. What can I do to get this back? I have an app that I use but not really satisfied with that. Can I go back to Aroyo, or try to download GB again. I tried Kies again, but it doesn;t give me any option to download again. I have read hundreds of pages w/o an answer, followed many links only to have spam loaded to my computer. Thanks for any help.

Get goo app then install cwm or twrp recovery from that. Then download a rom and flash it. First flash an ICS ROM then a JB ROM in that order
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halifaxmtt@gmail.com:
This is all new to me, but I'll give it a try. I dont see cwm or twrp on Goo? Can you recommend ICS and JB ROM I dont want anything fancy, just a working phone, but then I might want to get fancy. Thanks for your reply.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halifaxmtt@gmail.com:
Can anyone help with this please? Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jkakkanad:
You can go back to Froyo using GTG's Unbrick. Link in my sig. And then you can get Gingerbread here. I recommend option C. If you prefer Heimdall to Odin, there are links to those packages in the ISET thread.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halifaxmtt@gmail.com:
Thank you. I'll let you know what happens.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halifaxmtt@gmail.com:
I did the unbrick and messaging appears to be working. SU icon is in the apps but I don't think it is working. I tested with root test from apps store and it said it was rooted. What should I do next? Do I still need to do the second thing suggested above? Thanks again
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jkakkanad:
If you're on Froyo and root was successful, then you can stay there. Do the second step if you want to move up to Gingerbread.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halifaxmtt@gmail.com:
No, I'm still on GB, root is not working to remove the AT&T bloat, and I would like to move up to JB if possible?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jkakkanad:
Follow the instructions in this thread to move up to ICS or JB. Some of the ICS roms and all JB roms (I think) use the MTD file system so make sure you backup your EFS before making the move upward. There are instructions in the linked thread for making an EFS backup. Make sure to read carefully before you attempt anything.

Of course, the first step is to see if you have a custom recovery. It will be your launch pad to sweeter future.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halifaxmtt@gmail.com:
How do I find if I have custom recovery?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jkakkanad:
Power down the phone. Then hold Vol+, Vol-, and the Power button when you turn it back on. Once white SAMSUNG comes up, release the power button. This will take you into recovery. At the top, it will tell you which recovery you have: Android 3e (secure) or red CWM (custom).

----edit----

If you still have stock recovery, then following the link in post #5 and use Odin to flash option C. This will give you GB with root, red CWM, and AT&T bloatware removed.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halifaxmtt@gmail.com:
Nothing comes up, it goes on to load the AT&T rethink possible. So I dont have stock recovery?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jkakkanad:
My instructions were a little unclear the first time around. Try again with the instructions below.

1) Power down the phone

2) Hold Vol+, Vol-, and Power

3) When the white SAMSUNG logo comes up, let go of the Power button only. Continue to hold down Vol+ and Vol-.

This should get you into recovery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halifaxmtt@gmail.com:
No your instructions were clear to me. I did it again, same result. Thank you for your time.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jkakkanad:
No problem. I'm not sure why the phone won't boot into recovery. I can only speculate but I'm sure there's someone who can shed some light on the issue. If this was my phone, I would flash the UCBL3 Unbrick in Odin b/c it'll re-establish the original partitions, give you GB and root at the cost of losing all the info on your phone. Then you can use flash a custom kernel to get red CWM. From there, you can move on to ICS or JB. Let me know how things turn out.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halifaxmtt@gmail.com:
The last thing I did was the UCBL3 unbrick in Odin, so should I do it again or flash the custom kernel to get red CWM? Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jkakkanad:
Flash a custom kernel
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halifaxmtt@gmail.com:
I bet you knew I was going to say this ....... How do I do that? Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] UnhoIy:
I really do think these videos should be sticky'd in the forums

Simple search on Youtube ''How to root the samsung infuse 4g''

This video showing how to upgrade to stock 2.3.6 rooted with a custom recovery

This video showing how to upgrade from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4

Hello. Quick question. I got my Galaxy S4 from at&t and removed the stock TouchWiz ROM and put in the official Google Edition Android 4.3 ROM from the Galaxy S4 i9505G (I believe that model is the Google Play edition S4). I just wanted to know since I have the official Google Edition stock ROM on my at&t Galaxy S4, will I get the update for 4.4 KitKat? Please let me know if a question I am asking is already out in the forms. Other than that, let me know with an answer to this question. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] LeKtRiCzzz:
The official 4.3 ota isnt out yet for our we have a long way to go unless someone delevops it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
I believe the OTA wouldn't work, or may brick your device. I'd wait for someone to build it so it doesn't try and replace your bootloader or anything

Sent from my SGH-I337 running Foxhound 2.0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RK:
No. Do not take the official 4.4 update. It may brick your phone. Wait for the devs to make a cwm flashable ROM and then flash that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Br4nd3n:
The stock OTA in the GPE rom shouldn't even work on our SGH-1337 devices, and if it somehow did manage to work it would probably soft-brick the device. Just wait until 4.4 builds come out for custom roms, it'll probably take a couple months to see a stable release but it'll be worth the wait. On a side note, there is a thread laying around here somewhere with some of the 4.4 apps ripped off a Nexus 5 that will run and function correctly on the 4.2.2 - 4.3.1 builds. I'm using the 4.4 keyboard and I find it a lot more accurate with swipe. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xXshadowxnightmareXx:
Alright. Now I know. I will definitely wait for the ROMs then. :D

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mroneeyedboh:
Hey guys,

Im running Eclipse 4.3 and no matter what ROM I try I get plagued with issues.. I dont know what it is. I think its with the 4.3 roms Ive read... Is there anyway to go back to a rooted stock version? Im tired of MMS not working, the dialer locking up, my SD dropping off etc.. Any help to get the phone reliable again is appreciated.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tydiamond11:
Have you tried the Cm10.1.3 stable rom? It is great most everything works. If you want to go back to stock look up RSD toe stock it is pretty easy. I post a link if you'd like.

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------

Also You can take it easy way out with the stable stock bionx rom it is built on the stock system but with a few better features. I love that rom too.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mroneeyedboh:
Thanks man. I have tried cm10.1 but it still locks up etc. Is there something I should update? Like safestrap? I loaded the JBX kernel a bit back and Im wondering if its still stuck on the phone. JBX's boot screen still shows as well..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tydiamond11:
Well that is how the jbx used to have the boot screen changed you can flash any boot animation like the new Motorola logo idk if you have it still just go to about phone in settings and see if jbx is the kernel if you do not want it just re flash cm10.1 over it and it will be gone. I may have to rsd also to fix my phones issues and start over.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mroneeyedboh:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] tydiamond11:
Good hope everything will work for you know did you try the Bionx rom I have that as my backup rom when I need stock it is really good.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mroneeyedboh:
Yeah that bionix is nice man. I have the stocker in the stock slot and slot 1 is bionix. I dont see a need to run anything else. Those other roms are just too damn buggy

Yeah that rom us amazing. But I like having cm social run the next best thing lol

Read this article:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wceintro5/html/wce50conWhatsNew.asp

It confirms that WM5 has the USB Mass Storage driver built in, means without any additional software, we can use the storage card in WM5 device just like a USB pen drive/external HDD. This is very useful to connect the device in PCs without ActiveSync installed.

Does anybody know how to make the Universal to be recognized as a USB Mass Storage in Windows OS?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
The DLL usbmsfn.dll is missing from the Exec's ROM - without that you'll not have much joy me thinks.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BeyondtheTech:
Can it be ripped from the device emulator or someone else's WM5 ROM?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] FOSA:
RE

Does the Universal requires hardware-ready for USB hosting besides the necessary drivers?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lie_ui:
No, pls don't be confused with USB host capability.

This is not related to that. The USB Mass Storage function is basically the capability to emulate the Universal so that when its plugged to a USB port of a PC, the PC will recognize the Universal as if its an external harddrive/USB pen drive/card reader.

If you use an external harddrive/USB pen drive/card reader to transport files you should be familiar with this. The benefit is that you do not need any driver for the drive to be recognize by Windows OS (starting W2k).

I myself, everytime I want to copy big size files like MP3 or movie to my Universal, I will take out the SD Card and insert it to the card reader then copy the files as its slightly faster to do so rather than using the ActiveSync.

The idea is that, with the USB Mass Storage driver that is built into the WM5, we do not need to take out the SD Card and use a card reader anymore. Just plug in the Universal and the PC can access the storage card directly with full speed.

Though this is definetely WM5 feature, but not really sure if this is implemented in Universal specifically. If anybody knows, please share.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SvenJ:
Hate to burst bubbles, but the originally referenced article is taking about Windows CE5, not Windows Mobile5. While WM5 is built out of WCE5, it does not support everything that the underlying OS does or can. WCE5 is a base OS that a number of products are based on including WM devices like SmartPhones and PPC, and automotive electronics and even vending machines. At this point I know of no native mass storage capability in a WM5 device. Not to say it can't happen, as Softick provided the capability for WM2003 devices. It's just not that way out of the box.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] thaihugo:
A laconic mail exchange with Softick told me that they are actually working on their cardexport product for full WM5 compatibility. No release date, no progress for now. Maybe if somebody want's to ask more?
