Hello valy,
Did you have appropriate drivers installed on your PC before doing this procedure? If not, head over to the Samsung website and download and install the required drivers for your device on your PC.
It should work fine then.
Thanks!

Are you trying to downgrade your device to a lower Android version? What version of Android are you currently running on your device? What version are you trying to update your device to?
Let us know. Thanks!
I have rooted my phone with KingoRoot. Will I have a problem? Also, will I lose all my files after the procedure?
If you did the above procedure, you’d lose all of your files. So make sure to back them up before doing the above tutorial. Thanks!
I can’t open the odin program:(
Right-click on Odin and select “Run as administrator”. It should work fine then. Thanks!
How long does it take to unroot normally?
Hi Jorge,
Shouldn’t take too long, a couple of minutes and that’s it.
Hope this helps!

I have urooted my galaxy s4 mini by this procedure but my device speed is little slow as compare to before…. kindly help me thanks
This doesn’t slow down your device in any way cause it only flashes back the stock ROM on your device. That ROM’s been shipped by the manufacturer itself.
Thanks!

Did you install Samsung drivers before doing the procedure?
Thank you so much Mahesh! It worked and now all my problems are solved, I can download things to my phone again! Thank you a lot mate!
We’re glad it worked for you, Archibald!
You’re most welcome!
My phone has been rooted and I fully unrooted it via the option in supersu, this got rid of the app but still says that my devices status is still custom, will this method still work as I no longer have the supersu app on my phone?
can I unroot my pne without using a computer?
Hi Arafat,
I’m afraid but you do need a computer in order to do the above unrooting procedure. A windows computer is a must for the above procedure to work.
Hope that helps!
Hi, if I unroot my phone will it re lock to the operator (vodafone) it came with ?
