First, I wanna say I have rooted the Moto Droid, Epic 4G, and Droid X for my family and friends... But now with my OWN Samsung Fascinate...
I have absolutely no clue what I've done.
I have rooted my Fascinate before. How? I don't know, but I was able to use Wifi Tether and I was happy with that. But then, my phone got an update from Samsung, I believe, and I lost the ability to use Wifi Tether, so I was pretty sure I lost root access.
I tried to use the z4 app thing, I'm not sure what the complete name is. And it wasn't rooting my phone. It kept freezing without ever finishing the process. So I just took out the battery halfway thru the process.
Yesterday, I tried another method of rooting, and for the love of God, I cannot remember the page where I read how to root the Fascinate or the process. BUT, i have the SuperUser icon on my phone and even after a factory reset, the icon wont go away. I cannot get Wifi tether to work either.
I can use the phone as is, but I want to tether for free! And PDA.Net is not an option.
How can I unroot my phone and then root it again properly following one of the tutorials on here? I guess the reason I messed up my phone is because I kept trying the quick and easy rooting tutorials.
BTW, I'm on a Mac without Windows access!
TL;DR How do I unroot my phone using a Mac? I don't know how I even managed to root it in the first place.
