I have read most of the unrooting issues and am very confused. I am new to rooting and oh so very green.
I tried to root my phone and ran into a problem. I manged to unlock but did not get access to SU. That is not even the issue anymore. I want to return the phone to lock. I assume I did not root since I do not have SU and all the root app said I do not have root access. I was weary of doing it in the first place and not I just want to go back. Not worth it for me. So I guess I need to know..
1 - How to lock it back. It has the "Tampered" "Unlocked" message when I boot to hboot (hope I am using the right terms).
2- I dont think I need to "unroot" cause I was not rooted in the first place and I did not of course add any ROMS.
I have read a lot of info but am a little intimidated but I do have pc skills so I am not TOTALLY dumb. Just dumb to rooting.
I guess I am stuck in limbo with the rooting issues and just want my phone back to norm. It's because I have now seen little stupid things going on with it. Like my volume keeps resetting itself from vibrate. I put it on vibrate and it goes into low loud volume by itself. Something in the root I guess.
Please Help...
Thanks!
BTW I am on ICS.
The only way to remove the "Tampered" would be to flash an RUU. But you have to have your boot loader relocked.
So, relock your boot loader, and then run the latest RUU.
Do you have a link for unrooting and relocking sprint galaxy s3? Please and Thank you

Ok Thanks Graywolf... but I have a couple of questions. From what I have been reading:
1- How do I "relock" the phone. Also I have heard relocking may cause it to brick? I am still "s-on".
2- Will flashing the RUU cause it to brick? I understand through various forums that if I flash the wrong ruu and go back to before my ICS update i cannot get the ics update. Is there a way to flash to the ICS update we received last summer?
3 - Will doing all of this fix the little problems I now have? Like I stated above.. my "vibrate setting do not stay on vibrate. I think if I let the phone screen time out itself (without pushing the power button) when I wake it back up it's on low volume instead of vibrate. If I push the power button to make it sleep, it tends to stay on vibrate. ALSO I now notice that if my wifi is on for instance at home and I leave the house it used to automatically go to 4g. now my radio stays off and i have to turn it on in the settings.
I guess in a nut shell.. if reverting it back will brick it, then I will have to put up with these bugs until I get another later on this year... probably in Oct.
Let me know and thanks alot for your help.:good:
Also...
Will Hasoon's all in one kit fix it?
Anyone? Gray?
Sorry for not replying. Tapatalk has been unsubscribing me from threads and I have to manually go find them.
I will be home in a bit, I will get you links and stuff then.

First, BACKUP ANYTHING IMPORTANT!
1. To relock the bootloader just reboot to hboot, and select "fastboot". Plug it in to your computer and (I assume you know how you unlocked it with fastboot commands) type into command prompt "fastboot oem lock".
2. The RUU will not flash unless your bootloader is relocked. So do step 1 first and then flash the OTA from this website.
3. An RUU will return your phone to the factory state. This should fix many problems that you may have.
RUU should fix things, and if it doesn't, then you know it is a hardware issue.

Hey Gray... ok I was able to relock... however flashing to the RUU from the link you sent.. it didn't work. After I loaded the zip file onto the SD card.. it does nothing when I boot to bootloader... reads zip and comes back and says no image.
The question I have it since I never loaded a ROM or another RUU can I just wipe it from inside the menu and start from start?

Well now that doesnt work. When I try to hard reset the message comes up that it is reseting.. then boots to hboot. It wont factory reset. I tried factory resetting from hboot and it does nothing.
The PH98IMG is not on my sd card... I actually took it out.
Can you reset from a command prompt? Hopefully that will work.

That's a good point! I'm on hboot 1.5. So I would have to unroot, update to new OTA, then HTC unlock again? I'm just trying to understand. I'm gonna try this route, if I can unlock/root my phone again.

Yes, this is the route to go. I myself have an evo3d with hboot1.5. my phone was unlocked prior the OTA update. I tried everything to get that OTA installed but no chance. The reason is that the radio within the OTA wont install because you are still S-On even though you are unlocked .

I got to Step 5 and am now STUCK.
It goes in and says it is loading, then checking the PG86.IMG.ZIP file, then nothing..
It goes back to FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, FACTORY RESET, (which I've tried, to no avail), SIMLOCK, and IMAGE CRC.
If I reboot without holding down any keys, it goes back there again.
It says RELOCKED at the top. It also says I'm still S-ON. I don't know how to get back to standard factory E3D.
HELP!

Hmmmm, possibly role back to hboot 1.40?? That might come in handy instead of loading ROMs via fastboot all the time, I like to switch on the fly, and I can't really do that with having to break out my laptop and run through cmd...

As far as I know you cannot roll back hboot.
So far no you cannot roll back H-boot. But you can still flash on the fly. I use Flash Img GUI from the market to flash the kernel for the Rom, then I boot to recovery and flash the Rom. Works just fine for me even when switching from ASOP to Sense.
You can roll back hboot if you have s off

You are not bricked yet. The problem is PG86.IMG.ZIP. This is not how it suppose to be renamed. It should say PG86IMG.zip and not PG86.IMG.ZIP
If the downloaded zip from the OP does not work, download the file from the post #16 and you should be good to go.
That PG86IMG Alammori provided works for anyone who was unsuccessful with the ones in the OP.

Get one of the old GB RUU's and run it on your phone. Start again. If your phone was truly bricked, it wouldn't power on and you wouldn't get an LED light when it was plugged in.

This is an easy one, or would have been when you were on the black screen. Well the internal storage fix scares me, but hopefully that wont matter. Typically all you need to do is get the PH file from your rom and place on sd card, boot into hboot, and run the update I believe, then reboot.
This title needs to be edited as it's misleading.

Relax. The S-off process blows out your recovery. You didn't brick your phone.
Put a recovery image on your SD card, go into hboot (from a powered down state, power button and volume down) and let 'er reload recovery. If you can't get the file on your SD card through your phone, pop the SD card into a card reader attached to your PC and stick it on there that way.
Once that's done, remove the image file from your SD card, put your fav ROM on it, and install it from recovery.
You may need to fix your SD card's mount points. Within the thread on S-off, there's a link to the process.
None of the commands work because the phone is not recognized. I cannot boot to hboot. Uh oh.
I had the same screen. Pull the battery and reboot into hboot, volume down+power and run the s-off program again. Something didn't finish and it will pick up where it left off in my experience.

As I understand it, the only way to brick a phone is to bork a radio installation.
Dude...pull your battery, put it back in, then power and volume down at the same time. If you can get to hboot, life is good.

Constant reboots
I am able to install roms, but I get constant reboots, every few minutes at best. I tried a few different ICS ROMS. I am running the latest firmware. I BELIEVE with s-off I shouldn't have to flash PH98IMG.zip. I tried fixing permissions also but it has not helped.
How did you get the latest firmware and radios without running the PH98IMG.zip? The ics roms you are installing won't update your firmware.

Well the newest leak came out 5/7 and the one before that 5/2 so only a week ago. I would download the newest from Android Police and follow the instructions they give to install, then flash a recovery and install a rooted Rom for this firmware like Scott's.

I don't know why you relocked...I think there's a thread about not so good things happening to those who relock after S-off. I downloaded and installed the 5/5 leak as PH98IMG after I S-off'd and reflashed the recovery.
I'm pretty sure my hboot said "locked" straight out of the gate after I did the S-off deed.

Nothing bad happens, you just don't ever get back to "locked" without doing S-off again. You're just at "relocked" like the old days. S-on with an eng hboot on the other hand will brick your device.
That aside, there's no need to unlock if you're S-off. Either flash a patched hboot or just flash a PH98IMG.zip of AmonRa if you don't need fastboot commands (I did the latter).
I flashed the last firmware before S-off. I followed the instructions given. I flashed the latest firmware today and this damn thing still reboots constantly. I flashed the 5-7 firmware then the Venasaur Rom.

You need to try installing the radio firmware or just install the complete RUU again. And install a clean copy of the rom, not a nandroid backup. Wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, and system before flashing the rom.
Send me a private message if you would like and I'll help you get it figured out on gtalk.
So I am sending this amaze back to T-Mobile for a warrenty exchange. T-Mobile already sent me the replacement. Not going through HTC or Asuron.
I unlocked bootloader, flashed a recovery, then flashed a new rom. I made a nandroid of my stock rom I had on there before I did the unlock stuff.
So I wiped the custom rom , and restored the stock rom
So now I relocked bootloader and it says relocked and security warning. What exactly does that mean? Is it normal?
T-Mobile doesnt even care about that stuff right? I should only stress it if I was sending it into HTC. I hope lol.
The only problem I am having is when I try to master reset the phone, it takes me to the screen that says bootloader, reboot, reload bootloader, power down and I dont know why. The phone master reset fine the first time I attemped, but I just wanted to do it again. I hold the volume key down and power and the normal screen comes out with Fastvoot recovert factory reset clear storage simlock image crc , but when I click factory reset, it boots for 5 seconds and takes me back to the screen that has bootloader, reboot, reload bootloader etc etc. When I power on and off the phone, it turns on and everything is fine. Normal stock ICS.
Why cant I factory reset it again?
cause you relocked it and yes send it LOCKED
Flash a stock RUU via hboot, it's gonna wipe everything and take it back to complete stock.

Not really worried about it. Just wanna send it in normal, even if it says relocked. If they charge, they charge. I doubt it though. How much they charge anyway, tmobile that is. Might be able to just sell it and make some money and still pay back tmobile, seeing its on ebay for 350ish lol. Either way they already sent me a new phone.
Problem is, I did a clean wipe. Just the first one, not the other wipes. I flashed my Nandroid I made before I flashed a custom rom. Everything worked so I relocked it, but when I try to master reset, it automatically takes me to the screen that says bootloader, reboot, reload bootloader, power down and I dont know why
Am I doing something wrong?
For kicks I even downloaded the ota rom and flashed that one after i wiped the other, and when I rebooted that one , it just would flash the HTC sign. So I scratched that idea and redid what I first did.
Same happened to me. I was locking my buddys bootloader on his amaze before I flashed ics on it for him and it deleted his current rom and all of his pics... Everything ...
Learned the hard way. Then I flashed the ics leak in bootloader and it worked fine.
Are u soff? Cuz if u are... Make sure u have jbear or eng hboot flashed

Also not to mention, when I flashed the ICS zip I found on here , when I went into bootloader, all these weird things poped up about not having .imgs
Nah I am S ON.
I just wanna be able to relock the bootloader and it be able to master reset lol. Not worried about it saying relocked. Like I said, everything was working fine, until I tried master reseting and it doesnt allow it. I mean even from the volume down and power method, when I press master reset, it goes right back to that screen that says bootloader, reboot, reload bootloader, power down, without even reseting or rebooting.
Should I try this method even though I am using the ext recovery? ( when unlocked of course)

Usb debugging is hopefully turned on.
Connect phone to pc and boot into bootloader and go into fastboot.
Open command prompt on pc
Go to the directory where u have the fastboot program (ie "C:\Android\platform-tools" ) and your oem lock token
Type "fastboot OEM lock"
That should relock it.
Then take the PH85IMG and put on root of sd
Boot into bootloader and flash away. U will be good

Not only can you... You MUST relock bootloadee before flashing ics. U can find the 214.531.3 leak in Footballs thread in dev section... Careful not to get 531.1 leak... That's old
Also... Its a zip package.. not an img file... Don't confuse yourself

Wow I did not know that. I friggin flashed ICS before I relocked lol. I dont get it though. If I relock it first, wont it not have an OS on it after i wipe when it reboots itself. Do I even need to wipe period. Do I even need to use ext lol
I downloaded the tmobile flashable zip from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27058110&postcount=44
Meh anyway the one you told me to download is downloading as we speak. 2 hours left wow
and when I hit the HBOOT screen the first thing it does is say some stuff with no image no image no image no image. All ph85 stuff. Wont even allow me to flash anything if I tried. Im thinking maybe its because I havent relocked the boot loader yet? Who knows. Well see what happens when this is finished downloading
To be honest, Tmo doesn't care what you send back to them, you can just brick it if you're insecure, a bunch of people I know sent it droids with CWM and custom roms, they restore it back to stock and change what they have to when you send it in.
After you install that flashable zip, just restore stock recovery via hasoon's tool and delete the superuser.apk from system/app.

So I am sending this amaze back to T-Mobile for a warrenty exchange. T-Mobile already sent me the replacement. Not going through HTC or Asuron.
I unlocked bootloader, flashed a recovery, then flashed a new rom. I made a nandroid of my stock rom I had on there before I did the unlock stuff.
So I wiped the custom rom , and restored the stock rom
So now I relocked bootloader and it says relocked and security warning. What exactly does that mean? Is it normal?
T-Mobile doesnt even care about that stuff right? I should only stress it if I was sending it into HTC. I hope lol.
The only problem I am having is when I try to master reset the phone, it takes me to the screen that says bootloader, reboot, reload bootloader, power down and I dont know why. The phone master reset fine the first time I attemped, but I just wanted to do it again. I hold the volume key down and power and the normal screen comes out with Fastvoot recovert factory reset clear storage simlock image crc , but when I click factory reset, it boots for 5 seconds and takes me back to the screen that has bootloader, reboot, reload bootloader etc etc. When I power on and off the phone, it turns on and everything is fine. Normal stock ICS.
Why cant I factory reset it again?

Sooo, playing with rooting, been rooted for a couple days, flashed viperlte rom and had problems and decided to take it back to stock for now. Gonna be on the road and can't be 'experimenting'...attempted to go back to stock, by using the original RUU, and as I understood it, I needed to lock the phone back first. Didn't make sense as I was wondering how I could flash a Rom if it was locked back. After locking, when trying to go to recovery, it just comes back to fastboot. I can't get into the main phone--it boots to a screen, but no buttons work, although if i press volume up/down it shows it on the screen. What have I done?! I'll admit being a newb to phones, so please, some guru help me get back to something
Here's what fastboot shows:
TAMPERED

download the ruu rename it PJ53IMG THEN transfer it to your sdcard via your computer and put back in phone and boot to bootloader, it should pick up the PJ53IMG, AND ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE, hit volume up to sat yes.(put sdcard in an adapter and put in your computer to transfer) Also you want 2.17.605.2 ruu software. make sure the zip is on the root of the sdcard(not in a folder, then make sure after you transfer that the file doesn't have 2 zips on it (PJ53IMG.ZIP.ZIP)YOU WANT ONLY ONE ZIP

Thank you for the response. Tried this, it loaded the zip, then went to 'checking' and after that, back to the bootloader. Never asked me if I wanted to proceed. When rebooted it brought me back to where I was, a phone which appears to be up--clock works, wifi is on, but I can't do anything. I feel pretty confident the img is good. Thoughts?

I have a rooted Rezound running the OTA ICS. I also have Amon Ra recovery. The newest Firmware update keeps downloading. Once it does the phone shuts off and goes straight to Amon Ra which does not install new firmware. So I reboot the phone and the download process starts all over again. Is there any way to get this new firmware with having to factory reset? Thanks in advance!

If you want the OTA to go you need to flash stock recovery.

Are you going to settings> software update> check new?
From 605.12 you should get a small OTA first then the big one after that one is done. I just did same procedure in the last week on my wife's phone.
Btw might want to be on WiFi if you aren't already for the download.
Having the same issue here as OP and been searching forums for days looking for help...
First, I'm on 605.13 already, stock ROM, rooted with Amon ra. I realize the steps I need to take but can't find any specifics.
Could someone please spell out the specifics of how to flash the stock recovery, and if I can use the 605.12 RUU to do this being on .13 already. I keep seeing others posting about just renaming a file to recovery.img and pushing using fastboot, but I'm not sure how to obtain the correct file.
Do you relock bootloader first or flash stock recovery first and the relock? BTW I'm s-on stil. Thanks in advance

For some apparent reason the 605.13 update downloaded this afternoon and the 605.14 updated. Its all set after a frustrating 2 weeks of digital torture. thanks to all that helped. I had to scour all these resources and forums to get this done but this is what worked for me. I relocked the bootloader then I used the 605.12 RRU.exe program. After about a day I checked for the updates and they downloaded and installed successfully.
Xander, since you just got this working, can you please confirm the process - I'm about to do this myself and want to verify the steps...
1) Reboot into hboot > fastboot and relock bootloader via fastboot oem lock
2) download 3.14.605.12 RUU.exe (I'm currently on 3.14.605.13)
3) Reboot phone into hboot > fastboot usb
4) run RUU.exe from PC
Is that it? Anything I'm missing here or am I on the right path?

U have step 1 and step 2 correct. Step 3 would be to connect the phone to the computer and run the 605.12 ruu.exe tool. After that u are now back to a stock phone. After the initial setup of adding your gmail account and contacts you can now go into system settings and check for update. As I stated before my phone would not download the update for some odd reason. I tried it a couple more times without success. Today on a whim I went to check for the update again and it started to download. After the small 6mb file was complete the next update for 605.14 downloaded without anny issues. Make sure you delete any zip files off your external SD card labeled ph98img.zip if u tried that method.
Step1 relock boot loader
Step2 run 3.14.605.12 ruu.exe
Step3 check for updates
Step4 unlock phone if you want to
I hope this helps anyone. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.. Got it! And I got both the 13 and 14 updates almost immediately afterwards. I appreciate the confirmation about the process...
