        please change the direction this fall thanks

  • Jess

    Hey can u do this without the USB? I dont have the cord. I bought a used phone and the guy rooted it wrong so I am trying to unroot it back to factory with both Android and TWinterface

  • Tyler

    I’m confused….If my phone is already rooted and I want to use this method to unroot, do I still have to do the unlockrs rooting guide first?

    • dcogen

      Tyler,

      Nope. You can use this to unroot no matter how you rooted… technically…

  • Frank

    How can I check to see what firmware im running on behold 2 I cant seem to find an option for about phone in the menu after I unrooted.

    • TheUnlockr

      Frank,

      Settings > About phone?

  • ACurren

    I did this procedure.. And idk how to check to make sure if my phone is rooted or not., and there isn’t a about phone selection under the settings

      ACurren,

      Download Terminal Emulator from the Market, open it, and type in su and hit enter. If it says permission denied, you are not rooted.

  • Nick C

    Hi, i think my behold 2 was rooted incorrectly and now i have no network. i tried to reset it to factory settings by following your instructions above but the downloader give me a “please connect phones” message….it IS connected via the usb….please help

    • http://TheUnlockr.com TheUnlockr

      Nick C,

      Try loading a custom ROM first before you try to unroot.

      • Nick C

        the reason why it wasn’t rooted correctly was because i could not follow the instructions correctly from your “how to root the samsung behold 2″.

        i was able to get down to step 8 and once i was entering the commands, it gave me an error message telling me it was a “read-only system” (the exact message was unable to chmod /system/bin/sh: read-only file system)

        Also, a few lines earlier, it gave me another error:

        /data/local/try3: not found

        i also tried to use “try3.dat” and it gave me the same error

  • Mainer

    I rooted my phone and installed a custom 1.6 before removing some of the factory tmobile apps. Now I can’t get root access because the try3 is closed. Can I still downgrade the phone back to the 1.5 factory rom without root?

    • http://TheUnlockr.com TheUnlockr

      Mainer,

      You can try, it might work.

      • Jammy

        Hi Unlockr,

        I am currently running Bh_man Galaxy 1.6 and need to go back to the version in which i bought the Behold II which if I am not wrong is the 1.5 with no root.Is it possible to do this via the Rom mentioned above.
        Please help..Its really urgent.

  • vanessa

    I tried this and the phone didn’t show up in the com port mapping section..it’s not seeing the phone. How do I fix this?
