I found this is also a great way to "unroot and return to stock". I used Odin, so easy from my Epic days,
less than 5 minutes to download, unzip, open, plug in and start.
I dropped my phone, cracked screen, and was going to get around to unroot/return. Thought I would try this and see how its running vs custom roms -
1. All data stays on card (but I had backed up anyway)
2. Completely unroots and removes any trace of csm, superuser, etc while keeping on latest and not having
to run thru updates
3. I do believe this is as fast as all my custom configurations. Keep in mind they do the best they can with
what they have, that's why we "tweak"
4. This also means root is broken, so you will have to re-root, but it does stay unlocked. Verified with Root
Checker
So go for it if you are stock. I am actually going to stay stock, and play with it. I can't tell phone service, I am
on another so just using wifi, can't really tell any differences one way or the other, but I'm home setting next to
router.
If you are rooted and have cwm, these rooted stocks are popping up over at xda.
