make sure developer options is turned on and usb debugging is checked! then follow his directions step by step, and this will work every time! he has saved my ass over 10 times and this process works every single time! best video on youtube!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much dude! My phone was not rooted but it refused to show anything on my screen so I followed the steps in this video and I managed to factory reset it thanks to you! Everyone that has doubts about this guy/video should just drop them! This really helped me out. Was kinda worried that my phone was all broken!
Thank you. You saved my life. I screwed up when I was trying to root my phone and bricked it. It is back to life again. I will watch your video and try to root it again tomorrow.
you are GOD my friend! I tried for 2 days to unbrick my phone and then I found your video and my phone is now fixed, so thank you soooooooo much and keep up the good work!!!
is that clock weather widget part of go launcher too? i have the gs3 and im using the atrix hd pod clock and weather right now but i want something like your home screen was
Thanks for the video. I thought I was out of luck. I had rooted my SG3 and all was fine. Then I flashed a rom for it and when it started up it got to the word Android across the screen and just sat there. I could get into recovery and download. Checked out your video and did just what it said and now my phone is as good as new. Actually better. Thanks again.
A launcher changes the style and look of your operating system. Like with Go Launcher EX I can change the way my home screen and app drawer scrolls. How many apps I can fit on any screen. And you can program certain gestures to open different apps from the home screen.
Mine also stuck at Samsung screen as well. As you have mentioned clearing cache and Factory reset worked, but I had to google the instructions. You should provide a quick video on how to do the dalvik cache and factory data reset.
NEED HELP! so i got the the latest firmware from Sammobile website. flashed with Odin v3.07, it passed. when rebooted samsung logo came up with a "Custom" unlock symbol... now phone just stays flashing on the 4G logo. Not letting me go into recovery or download. It just buzzes
If you already unrooted then you will no longer have clockworkmod. So try and reroot and do your wipe first and then unroot. If and when you have clockworkmod recovery installed, you get into it by holding down the volume up, home, and power buttons until you see blue lettering at the top of the phone then make sure you let go only at this time.
my phone keeps giving me a pop up msg that reads, "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped." and my phone is still in error...how can i fix this... also... another msg reads, "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped." please tell me you can help with this.. im lost as to what i can do.
I'm not sure about the kies but unless you download an app called "triangle away" and run it before you unroot your phone will always have a custom binary download count.
question i couldn't find out what version i have because it said my device was corrupted so i am stuck in boot loop i can go into download mode my model number is sgh t999
hello please mind s3 mini is the china made and i tried rooting with MtkDroidTools_v253 after that i reboot is but will not boot when it gets to SAMSUNG GALAXY 3 MINI then it stops there. please hep me .
After installing the firmware, I get an error when booting up my phone after the Samsung logo: "System Software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon store for help" Was trying to downgrade to 4.1.2 after the 4.3 update, that my phone did with out me realizing it.
my question is... how the hell did you keep all the theme's on your phone if it's " unrooted" the infinate scrolling and custom set up gives it away still... unless I'm completely missing something... I'd love to know so I can do something similar to my gs3!
thanks for getting back to me. one more question odin won't find the md5 no matter where i put it, it just wont show up anywhere. maybe a bad download? not sure
I'm on the stock rom for sprint and there hasn't been the 4.1 update yet. I don't know what's going on. But to answer your question; yes you can use this to unroot back to stock.
so can i do the ota update from 4.0.4 to 4.1 from sprint if i do this i used triangle first to i just want the new stock update to work thanks please help
Any idea where to download the firmware from that doesn't take days? Also, does the region matter for the .tar file as there are hundreads for my GT-I9300. Thanks
Hey InfernoByrd1 If peoples phones get stuck on samsung screen tell them to just go into clockwork mode and wipe cache and wipe data and then power off and back on. Do this after you unroot! Thanks, and keep the videos coming for the samsung galaxy s3
I need help for my rooted android device. Every time I turn my S3 on, it immediately jumps to Downloading...Do not turn off target !!. I cant do anything to my phone except switch to ODIN MODE.(Down + Home Button + Lock Screen Button) .... All my files are still in there. Help please??
No when rebooted everything is wiped out, all contacts and pictures, everything. (As precaution I saved pictures and tex mess before) I want to try again; I have AT&T and AT&T always send the software update that stops tethering. Is your AT&T link bad or does not work?
Do I have to wipe my phones storage before I do all of this, or will odin do it for me when I unroot? EDIT: I have a ROM installed btw, if that matters....
"The parameter is incorrect." What should I do if I get this? I have used the exact same steps but as soon as I click start it gives me this error. I clicked the right .tar for my phone which is the SPH-L170. Thanks in advance to any help offered.
Can someone help me. Its been about 6-7 months now and quick ? Since I believe I got my s3 soft bricked. Even tho the original stock ROM was 4.1 ICS. Could I still reverse the brick with an upgraded ROM 4.4 KK. Will it still work? Even tho its for my phone? Or does it have to be the original stock? Btw I haven't tried kies yet. I only have odin
You said this was for all models well my phone carrier is US Cellular will it work for that and I got all the steps except for the pda file you downloaded and I am not sure which link in your description box is for the pda file. Please help
How long does it take for the auto-reboot after it passed? Mine is staying at the "SAMSUNG" screen (black background) for about 10 minutes, glowing...lol

Please help! I followed the steps exactly and bought all the paid version's to unroot my phone back to the factory settings using the no computer process. Everything loaded fine, but now I have NO service.the phone isnt recognizing my sim card. Its almosy as if it wiped my carrier. I re rooted the phone again and no matter what rom I download I have no service! PLEASE HELP!
Hi InfernoByrd1.. Thank you for the video! I have 2 GS3s - one for MetroPCS and one for US Cellular. I have to root them for some of my company work but then unroot them later. Do you know where I can find the right tar.md5 files for these handsets? Would the same process help me unroot those phones as well?
Did everything like you said but the phone's stuck on Smasung page, It keeps flashing and nothing happens. Should I disconnect from the computer? Anything I should do?

hello I have rooted my phone and since than there is a program on it called movistar, now when i turn of or turn on my phone the program comes in my screen. I have tried to unroot my phone with your video and that has worked, but the program is still on it, do you know how i can remove it ?
I have rooted with CWM. I attempted to install custom rom. I did wipe partition, factory reset, and wipe delvic first. When it attempted to install the message md5 mismatch appeared. I attempted to restore my backup that I had just created, only to find the same message. MD5 mismatch. I now have a rooted us cellular galaxy three that will only boot the samsung logo. I can enter CWM recovery screen,but thats it. I am trying this process to undo my damage. Hope this works.

How how did you get those apps to sit on the side of your desktop like that?
I'm not sure about the kies but unless you download an app called "triangle away" and run it before you unroot your phone will always have a custom binary download count.
In other videos on RUclips. It says to do a wipe data and a wipe cashe if u get stuck on the logo screen.
So it will reboot just like you left it? all contacts, messages, settings, apps, app settings, launcher settings, pictures, everything?
