Hi, I rooted my EVO a while ago, and have been enjoying the differents ROMs and stuff. My problem is that the camera does not focus very well anymore, and now the LED's stopped working on it. So needless to say, I would like to unroot it before I take it in to the repair shop to let them look at it.
What I need is the stock ROM and also the S-ON tool. I used Unrevoked to flash it, then clockwork is my recovery.
Thanks in advance for any help I may be given.
Bumping this thread. Sorry if it seems impatient.
Here is a guide that you can use.
For future reference, you can use this link and bookmark it if you have questions, comments, concerns related to your EVO phone. Any root/unroot related guides are found in the development section of that thread. Good luck!

I had previously found this thread when I came here. I first did a search to see if my topic had already been discussed. The guide you linked me to, however, has a bad link to the stock ROM, and the S-ON tool says is corrupt when i try to flash it from recovery. That's why I was wondering if anyone had a more current link or something.
Here's the link from shipped-roms.com:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Sup....651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe
And for S-ON/OFF:
You may have to redownload the zip file. What's the file size that you have? When I saved it to my PC, it's showing 220kb.
Hello everyone,
I had like to know how I can root my phone, now you may treat me as whatever you like, however, I just got this phone and am looking for a thread which will explain the rooting process of this phone. I am a very quick and fast learner, so, if you could just direct me towards the right thread it would be very helpful.
Thanks for your time.

Have a look at the xda bookmarks in my signature. In there you will find links for both CF-Root, which you flash using Odin, and Easy Rooting Toolkit, which is a 1-click method. Both Odin and the 1-click method require drivers installing on your PC, so you'll need to install Kies first as this includes the relevant drivers.
Just take your time reading through those threads and pick whichever suits you best.

2) Follow instructions and your phone is rooted, no need to flash anything
3) If you need to flash custom ROMS after rooting then buy 'mobile Odin' app by chainfire from market and enjoy Android.

[FAQ] [ROOT] Questions about rooting SGS2 via zergRush Exploit
Well i've read it already and been reading a lot about it but i did not asked it if i knew what to use!
Maybe to you it's easy but i can't seem to find the answer that gives me the certain things to do/use.
Hopefully someone will give me the helpful/right answer (as i did in some posts) because when you take the time to reply it might as well be usefull.

Read post #4 of that thread. It has a WORKING link to the "[04/Jan][ROOTING/UNROOTING] DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit)
" thread. (I say working because post #1 has NONworking link to the same page. Thread author didn't link it properly)
If you can't understand this and think it's not helpful, I would suggest you not root your phone. No offense.
Thnx i've got it.
I'm not a noob but there is so much info and it's sometimes difficult to read the correct things because of the language.
You say tmobile sgs2. Tread carefully on what is compatible.

I think he's fine. He's in the Netherlands, according to his profile, so T-Mobile Europe, not T-Mobile USA... so he SHOULD have an I9100(and does, going by the screen shot of his "About Phone" screen in post #1), not an SGH-T989.
Im fine indeed
Now trying to find out what the Possibility's are now it's rooted.
FE: now it's possible to flash a custom rom?
What are the essential things i have to do now that it's rooted?

You could have flashed a custom ROM withOUT rooting. Indeed, there are several custom ROMs that come already rooted.
EDIT: Sorry, ignore the above sentence. I'm mistaken. You need root. My bad.
Sorry, but in my opinion, you went backwards on this. You rooted for the sake of rooting, then wondered "what can I do now that I have root?", instead of rooting because you needed to do something that required root. But I digress, and I'll get off my soapbox now.
That said, several apps that require root that I like are DroidWall (control what apps can access the internet via 3g and/or wifi), SixAxis Controller (use a ps3 controller on your phone - great for emulators), AdAway (ad blocker), Chainfire 3D (for Tegra only compatible games), Root Explorer (essential for tweaking files in system folders), Startup manager (control what apps are allowed to start when the phone boots), Titanium Backup (backup/restore applications and their data, freeze apps), and SetCPU (undervolt/overclock/change governors/etc).
First of all i rooted for the apps that need rooting like titanium and some other apps.
Second, indeed for flashing because i always thought it was essential. (saw your edit)
Third, i read some things about security issues (dataleaks fe.)and thought i had to root to solve them.
Maybe i'm totally wrong but as i said before there is so much info that its hard to pick the right things out of the topics.
Thanx for your help. Learning more everyday

No prob. And you said in an earlier post "it's sometimes difficult to read the correct things because of the language". Your language? Your English is probably 10x better than half the people who post on this board.

Flashing roms two methods ODIN or CWM and now MOBILE ODIN .
If you want to flash a custom rom you read that roms install instructions no more and no less .
Most but not all custom roms are flashed via CWM
CWM requires root and CWM install .
Root + CWM .

OK getting further and further every minute
Now know that with the actual root i can't flash.
Do i need to unroot this root before Root CWM?
So i read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 and took Odin.
Now wondering wich CF Root to take.
My kernelversion says: [email protected]#2
Wich kernel i need to take:
this one: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEF_KJ2-v4.4-CWM4.zip
or this one: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEF_KJ2-v5.0-CWM5.zip
Or am i reading it wrong?
KJ2 might as well take v5 CWM
jje
And what about the unroot part? Do i need to unroot first and then CF-root?

I cant find my original Kernel version for removing the Triangle. Is it possible to find it on my device and move or extract it?
Hello,
I am currently using the Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300. Bought this device last April. At that time I was completely new to rooting device. I didn't know what to do. I searched online about rooting device, read many post by users in various blogs and threads here in XDA. Then I was very curious to root my device. But even then, though i knew what rooting was and its merits and demerits, i had no idea how to root my device. So I started searching again for an easy and fast way to root my device. Then I came me across the framaroot thread here and thanks to the developer of Framaroot, I was able to root my android safely without any problems. It was a very useful app for beginners who had no idea about rooting.
After few months, I received a firmware update. I had no idea what changes it would bring about in my device. In a hope to find out the new features, I updated the firmware. But sadly, there wasn't any noticeable change. So once again I seeked the help of framaroot to root my device. I was left with an error message and didn't know what to do. Again by searching on Google, I came to know about the OTA update about which I had no idea prior to the firmware update. I realized that the OTA update was a curse to Android rooting and I was left with my boring stock rom without anything. Today again I searched all over the Internet for a very safe and easy method to root my device but couldn't find anything like the framaroot. So here I am kindly requesting, the deveopers to kindly update the already existing methodsor make a new easy method to root android devices so that people new to android can experiment and enjoy root features. Sorry for the long story, thought it might be useful by explaining everything in detail. Hope I have not violated any of the XDA rules. If I did, I apologise for that too but please don't remove this thread. It would be very nice if anyone can find a solution as there are many people in the same situation as I am right now.
Thanking XDA and all the developers for there services.

Thanks for the post. Nevers seen this before. I will surely try it out. I have heard about odin before but was not confident to use it as I thought it may brick my device. Is there any root apps like Framaroot that can help make the process a lot faster and easier without the use of a computer.

1- Its the fastest and most reliable method I femilliar with- just follow the vid orders step by step (according to your device model), and no harm
should be made (unless you plug out your device in the middle of the process, or using a different model type- but even those can be resolved).
2- No apps that I know. Although i would not recommend it even if I found one- just seems too riksy than using the computer...
Basically all the OP questions are answered in the faqs and guides .
Root is constantly updated as and when possible but its not a simple question of just making a new one . Read the relevant root threads .

If it was only that easy on S3 would save a lot of trouble ..yep follow instructions in thread and use PhilZ .tar.md5 not the zip file and if you are flashing CM 11 you do not need to root the rom is already rooted.

Without giving you a long explanation you flash custom roms in recovery (.zip files) and stock roms (.tar) in odin and same for recoveries.

Something is tempting me to try it out. Lol. If it works, i will report it here and it will help other s3 users too. At the same time, something prevents me from doing it. I get a feeling of bricking my device. Then I will have to fix that too
Before I do something like that, can u predict if it may work since the same method worked for the N7000 or can u tell me if have you tried it before? (Please tell me if I am annoying u, it doesn't matter )

Hey everyone,
This is an FYI if you download the latest tmo OTA update: G900TUVU1BNG3
A friend of mine has the SM-G900T (SGS5 from tmo). He was using TowelRoot to gain root on his phone. Well, after the latest OTA from tmo, TowelRoot doesn't work any longer.
We attempted to root via the GalaxyS5Root.com blog, and that didn't work. Evidently after flashing via Odin, the stock recovery would be restored and PhilzTouch CWM Recovery wouldn't be installed. So, we went another route.
We located a posting about CF's Autoroot posting here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2713950
From there we were able to root his phone via CF AutoRoot's ZIP being flashed by Odin.
Anyway, just thought we'd pass this along.
Thanks,
Johnathan
This may very well be important information, but the question before posting in Development should always be, "Is anything created?" - The answer here is "no" so I've moved this thread to General where it belongs. Any confusion as to the rules, please visit the XDA Rules.
