Root Unroot question

ok I think I ran into a bit of a problem.......I downloaded the wrong file. and now that im looking at it I don't see a file with the same radio as mine, mine is 1.12.11.1210, the only close one is 1.12.11.1119 will that work? there is also one that is 1.12.11.0809.

nope that will not work. ruu's are not backwards compatible.....they are used to update the phone so you can't use that ruu. i do not think that there is a ruu for your radio.......at the time when i wrote this guide there was no updates to add in.

you have the 3.16 firmware which is the second to the last update the phone has received.

are you s-on or off? if s-on then there is not much you can do other then flash a stock rom and re-lock the bootloader.

if you are s-off then you can easily downgrade your radios by flashing an older firmware.

I relocked the bootloader :( I hit full unroot on super su too. this makes me a sad panda. hopefully they will not check to see the tampered mark when I try to trade in the phone.

as long as your on stock they will not notice.....i just handed my phone in to the salesperson and proceeded to purchase my note 3......there was no checking on the phone or anything.

no I do not. I installed it last night to see if it would recognize it. it did recognize it when it was on but when I went into fastboot it wouldn't detect it at all still. my computer just says it cant recognize the device. I downloaded the new drivers and everything thinking that could have been the problem but every time I try to update them it says they are the most up to date drivers.
