I previously received my vibrant rooted and using this method on the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475 and i used the unrooted file on page two. everything worked great but i still have root. I have the superuser permission show up on my app list, i also tested to see if i have root by installing a root only app, and it worked. so can anybody help get to stock?
Did you use the odin flash? That will put the phone back to 100% stock. Sounds like you used the nandroid, it might not remove extra stuff like the root files.

listen, im new to this and ive already searched the devolpment section and theres a couple similar threads. so, since i dont really know what im doing, i asked for help. all i asked was to point me to the thread that someone who is experienced in this thinks i should use. thanks for the help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
I think the complaint is that it's the same thread you would have gotten the nandroid image from. No, odin is not more dangerous, so long as you are flashing STOCK roms. Don't go flashing euro stuff with it, and you'll be fine. There are step by step directions in that thread, follow them and you'll be back to stock in no time.

thank you for the help. i was just confused as to which one to use. hopefully, when im more experienced in this, i wont post stupid questions like this.
You dont need to flash, just remove the following with Terminal Emulator or file manager of your choice:
/system/app/Superuser.apk
/system/xbin/busybox
/system/bin/su
Reboot and you will no longer have root access.

did u type "su" before typing every other else?
it should be like:
# whatever you type
not $ whatever you type.
If you are using terminal then type this, each line should be entered on its own.
su
rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm -r /system/xbin/busybox
rm -r /system/bin/su
From the sticky at the top of the page (that says to read before asking). If you want to use the links, go to the sticky.
HOW TO UN-ROOT *ie, sending your phone in for warranty work
The following code can be keyed in Terminal Emulator (could also be done in ADB or deleting the files using Root Explorer). If you do use Terminal, change the keyboard to the stock Android KB prior to opening Terminal. Apparently the backspace on swype does not work in Terminal. Each line should be entered separately. bahnburner gave the instructions in this thread, which you should review first.

Haha rooting won't keep you from getting OTA updates.
I'm trying to push a file to /system/app but it's read-only. I know there's a command to allow me to write to it, but do I need to be rooted to do so? I'm attempting to put SprintZone.apk back in /system/app so I can update firmware. Feel free to PM me on this, too...I'm not doing so well hahaha.

Put the file in the android sdk tools folder
Use adb commands

Sorry, I am not a programmer....
None of theese work for me and i have driver installed,sdk folder im using the right path but nothing it says adb not found 8(
I'm pretty sure you can just do this:
Adb shell
Su
Remount rw
That was enough to let me edit my build.Prop when root explorer wasn't remounting correctly.
Although I would recommend root explorer for stuff like this... remounts on the epic now and it let's you Remount in the application without adb. I think it's $0.99 in the market and we'll worth it.

I second the suggestion of root explorer.

I've noticed weirdness using mv or cp sometimes even using -f.
This always worked for me without fail:

Of course, you'll need to type the proper dir(s) and file.

Hello All.
Here are the framework-res.apk and build.prop files for the Optimus One, Stock 2.3.3 firmware. All you need to do is replace those files and you will get the CRT ScreenOff effect
I used the post by Skynet28, modified a little to only use adb commands.
This was the first thing done after rooting the phone.
-NEEDED:
Rooted phone
.7Z file View attachment 949259
5 Minutes of your time
NOTE: YOU WILL MOST PROBABLY LOOSE YOUR PHONEBOOK, I DID WHILE DOING ALL THIS. PLEASE BACK THAT UP.
The procedure to install is as follows:
You must set the /system on the phone with RW permision
From a Command Prompt:
First we locate where /system is mounted
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /proc/mounts
Locate /system in the mount and write down the mountpoint (mtdblock1 or similar)
the type
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/[I][COLOR="Purple"]MOUNTPOINT[/COLOR][/I] /system
exit
exit
Then we push both files to the phone with the folowing adb command
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb push build.prop /system
Finally we chmod those 2 files
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /system/framework
chmod 664 framework-res.apk
cd /system
chmod 664 build.prop
exit
exit

I want to say don't release it until the 9 inch version comes out and we can root that too. Don't give amazon the details to patch it.
I think an alternate launcher would satisy lots of people without having to root.

The command should be "rm -r /data/local/tmp"
It removes the directory and its contents.

I'm pretty sure rooting is not the problem everyone is concerned about. Flashing a different ROM will be the tricky part without a working custom recovery.

My Kindle is alive. If someone need this files too, they can be found in the Update.bin at Amazons website.
@crzyjoker13. Good luck with your device.
Here you go, pulled straight from the latest update...
It's just the files you requested, the file structure should be correct.

Your need to get the device to be picked up by ADB and then push the files if your not able to boot into the actual system itself. Your have to ask someone else for the commands... but here's a snippet for services.odex the rest the files should be similar pieces of commands.
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 777 /system/framework
exit
exit
adb push services.odex /system/framework
adb reboot
step in the right direction

I was having the same problem as you are and was able to fix it by doing the following.
Download and extract the files NighthawkXL has provided.
From within the folder that you saved the files run command and do the following
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 777 /system/framework
exit
exit
adb push services.odex /system/framework
adb push DownloadProvider.odex /system/framework
adb push DownloadProviderUi.odex /system/framework
exit
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 777 /system/app
exit
exit
adb push DownloadProvider.apk /system/app
adb push DownloadProviderUi.apk /system/app
adb reboot
I think this will solve your problem with the downloads not working. Please keep in mind I have small amount of knowledge when it comes to rooting, but figured that it couldn't do more damage to it since it wasn't working.
