Unroot Help
- Thread starter Syndacate
- Start date
Oh, no, that's definitely not it, rebooted many times.
Ah, okay...****.
------------------
I can't believe I didn't think about this before, I still have all the original files I used to unroot..wow, what an idiot.
So...I needed the usb drivers for the GalaxyS, I'm guessing those were for windows, though. has 0-21 folders in it, Simmental, Siberian, Swallowtail, etc.
The other is called FascinateRoot_v02, it has a Superuser.apk application IN it, along with a bunch of scripts, rage.bin img, and a binary called adb.exe. If I had to guess I'd say the scripts threw that image on and the superuser app, and ran the exploit externally. It also has busybox in it. This kind of root make sense to anybody? I can give a full file list of that dir if you want.
I'm thinking that's why Superuser stayed..but I still don't know if i can just uninstall Superuser, then unroot the phone, and check to see if it's still rooted, now that Superuser is gone.

Try following the manually root your Fascinate link in my sig. There are unrooting instructions in there. All you need is root access (which you have) and Terminal Emulator from the Market.

It had something to do with titanium back-up, it was part of the hack, I posted the main concepts/files downloaded for the root, I was wondering if anybody knew which hack/root it was, so maybe I can get some insight into how to unroot it. I'm trying to unroot it, so I can take it to the VZW store and get my phone/camera replaced. Camera's shot.

Okay, I have the term emulator already, I'll try it and come back with the results.
Hey,
I'm kind of lost. I went to the info in the fascinate link and didn't see anything that could really help me short of option 2 D, which is removing busybox and super user manually, but I can't switch user ("su") - tells me permission denied, not sure how to give root access to the terminal emulator.
It says that the unroot info for the fascinate is needed (2B)..I'm probably missing something, could you be a bit more specific, though? Sorry.

Okay, then what you need to do is ROOT using the method listed, then UNROOT using the method listed. 
It'll get rid of those apps so you won't have to worry about then denying you a warranty replacement if you need one.

Alright, so re-root using option B (this link), then unroot using option D, right?

Try this. It's done on-phone so it should be easier, then just unroot. If you can't get rid of SU then it's in xbin and not bin. Or vice versa. I can't remember which way the directions tell you to get rid of it.

[APP] z4root - xda-developers
I tried using z4root 1.3 to unroot, it did its thing, I rebooted, and nothing appeared to have been changed, but I have no idea how to check. The SuperUser icon was still in may applications, though. You saying I should re-root using z4root then unroot using z4root?
Sorry about all the questions, just hella confused due to the 95,000 different ways to root and me not being sure where exactly mine stands at the present time.

I meant use it to root, then follow the unrooting directions in the thread to unroot so you make sure you get it all.
z4root can be a bit sloppy. It works, but it can leave a mess.
Another option would be superoneclick. That might even unroot you.

Alright, sweet, I'll try rooting again with z4root then using the option D to remove SU, busybox, and super user.
I'll come back with results
.Thanks!

Good luck. If that doesn't work we'll see what else we can do for you.
