Root Rooting Issues

[SunMad30]

Hi All,
My sister has a rooted s3 but did not install a different os. She performed some unroot instructions, and everything seemed to work. Custom Binary Download: No, Current Binary: Samsung Official, System Status: Official. However, nothing else changed. Triangle away is still there, and Astro & Root Explorer still work. Also, Kies does not work with her phone, SCH-R530U, tried 2.6 & 3. Any thoughts on why? Thanks in advance!

Impossible to know without knowing what "unroot instructions" she followed.
Root explorer and astro will of course still work, they are file explorers. They just won't have root privileges. But the proper unroot for most Samsung phones is to download the most recent stock .tar for your specific model and flash using Odin with a pc.
If she did that, then it is no longer rooted. If that app (triangle away) is still there, uninstall it.

Thank you for your answer. =-)
