This is fine and dandy for everyone BUT i815 users. Anyone got any ideas?

Take a look as at post# 59 : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21604295&postcount=59

factory resets won't "unroot" an android device. The "rooting" process installs a file to /system/bin and/or /system/xbin called "su." That file becomes part of the firmware.

In most cases, you also install an application called "SuperUser.apk", that that's usually installed as a user installed program (and not directly in the /system/app directory.)

To properly "unroot", both that "su" file and the "superuser.apk" program have to be removed. Here's how I've done it in the past (instructions assume that the user has a fair amount of knowledge.)

With a fully rooted device, install root explorer. Remount /system as read/write. While root explorer is running with root privs, remove the "su" binary that was installed by your rooting process. (probably /system/bin/su). Exit root explorer, uninstall SuperUser (And root explorer.)

Something similar can be done with adb shell instead of root explorer.

Hope this will help. True result...I unsure.

Hello

can you also post/ link a guide on how to properly sign this to work with 3e? I plan to create my own for a different handset based on msm7227a

Yes , that`s the way, & if you are already rooted on honeycomb, you can flash the stock ics through mobile odin & enable "ever root" option in mobile odin, this way you will be rooted instantly.:)

HK ICS Compatibility?

Hi,
I juste to make sure before I follow the tuto if I can apply it to my device imported from HK and updated through Keis to ICS 4.0.4 ver: XLPW / ZSLP7 .
Is there any risk?

By the way, how can I make a ROM backup just in case I do some thing wrong, I can go back to my actual ROM.

Thanks

Yeah, you should be safe with this tutorial on your device.
To bacckup your rom, got to CWM--------Backup & Restore--------- Backup your rom. :)

You can restore it the same way if you decided to get back.:)

Final cross post:

This zip method also works beautiful on the i815 running ICS 4.0.4

Flashed through CWM, not sure about stock recovery.

    Thanks POORCOLLEGEGUY


    Tested working on P6800 ICS XXLQ1, should work with other ICS firmware, P6810 and other Samsung devices
    Try it and let us know


    Source and Special Thanks to Phil3759@ Original Post, Chainfire and Entropy512
    If this help, go and thanks or donate to them


    AT YOUR OWN RISK

    Flash the "Root_SuperSU.0.96.Only-signed.zip" directly in stock recovery 3e, no need to cwm:

    How to do that?
    - Download the Root_SuperSU.0.96.Only-signed.zip
    - I will create Universal Root folder (Optional)
    - Put the created folder at your External Micro SDcard
    - Boot to recovery (Hold Power+Volume Up)

    In official stock recovery 3e:
    - Use Volume button to navigate to apply update from external storage.
    - After you choose apply update from external storage.
    - Press Power button to enter.
    - Volume button to navigate to the Universal Root folder.
    - Choose Root_SuperSU.0.96.Only-signed.zip
    - Press Power button.
    - Flashing begin.

    Once done
    - Navigate to ../ and press Power button
    - navigate again to ../ and press power button
    - and reboot system now

    Your device will be rebooted and enjoy your rooted ICS. No cwm recovery

    To install CWM Recovery. I use Mobile Odin.

    - Download Locerra's cwm recovery. Im on P6800 and using Locerra's recovery v5.5.0.4: HERE or ALL Tab 7.7 latest cwm recovery 6.0.1.1: HERE or 6.0.1.9 by aorth: HERE
    - Once download, extract it and it will be recovery.img
    - Put it in Internal or External SDcard (Up to you, which convenience for you)
    - Launch Mobile Odin
    - Choose Open file and choose the location where you put it earlier
    - Choose the recovery.img
    - Flash firmware

    Note: There will be POP UP window indicated
    CONTINUE AT YOUR ON RISK - Click Countinue
    - Done



    This thread/guide was rewritten by me to make it simple and suit our tab 7.7


    I Don't Deserve Any Credit. If It Work. Go And Thanks Them
    Just Keep Us Informed If This Work For You Or Any Other Devices

    Yeah, it's pretty low-risk. Either it works, or it aborts and does nothing. I9100 and I777 ICS will also allow it.
