How do i unroot my Galaxy S2 and make it like it was from the box?
Flash back the original firmware or as near to it as you can find .
jje
Where do i get the original firmware? Is this it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 Or is that just a kernel?
There is firmware there aswell. Its the "big file" of about 300mb.. Not the small kernel.
I'm sorry...but all i can see is the unsecure kernels and stock kernels but not 'original firmware'. Please advise...i apologise if it's there and i'm just missing it but i've looked.
Original firmware you saved it ???

No i didn't save the original firmware. So do i flash back stock kernel 7 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 ?
Ok sorry, ignore my above post i have found orginal...so i do i just flash it back using Odin? Download mode, click PDA, click on the file and then hit start? Also, my phone came with Ke1 so is it ok if i do KE7 orginal?
Could someone just confirm the procedures of how to flash back orginal stock in order to unroot?

Step 1

Dont worry about md5, it just means it will verify its integrity.
As for the steps, if thats what it says on Intratechs guide, then those are the steps you should follow.

In Intratech's guide there seems to me that there are three sections. A stock kernal section, a Frankenstein firmware section and a rooting sections.
Which is why I thought 1) Flash Frankenstein firmware, 2) Follow the instructions in the rooting section, 3) Flash the stock kernal because the final step of the quick rooting guide says "now you can flash the Stock kernel to get rid of the yellow triangle just like how we flashed the insecure kernel above."

These packages below are not official firmware packages, they are Frankenstein package created due to demand for Firmware with different CSC and modems.
Your choice if you need different modem and csc .

So I'm guessing that I can't use the official XEU firmware because my CSC is CWP rather than XEU?

CPW is carphone warehouse with Multiple UK networks .#

hello guys
i am new to android OS...that means a n00b... but i have successfully root my phone with this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
currently Kies gives me this info:
Current firmware version: PDA:KE2 / PHONE:KE2 / CSC:KD1 (VNO)
Baseband ver: I9100UHKE2
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE2-CL187606 [email protected] #2
Android ver: 2.3.3
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UHKE2
what i would like to do now is to update to the latest firmware is that possible?
thanks
Hi,
If Kies shows no update, you'll have to go the route of manually updating via Odin.
This guide shows you how, don't make the mistake I did of downloading the kernel only tar file - you need the big file around 250/260 MB.

Hi DM-Man,
As far as I know there is no official update for any Chilean device.
The only way to enjoy other versions is as already said to "manually" change via odin.
The "Chile thread" can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104410

You can always update through Odin and get the latest software from e.g. Intratech's ROM thread. Carriers usually do not update that frequently and you may be stuck a long time to a version.
If you want to use the Chilean CSC then you have either the old seldom updateable official ROM option or you have an always manually updateable "Frankenstein" ROM option.

VNO is a csc file and you would use the csc button in Odin.
you only need to use the csc if you need the network settings for your country.
So what one do I flash to update my phone from its current 2.3.3 firmware to 2.3.4?

Hello:
WARNING: I am a complete newbie and know nothing about 'flashing' or 'rooting'.
From a previous post, I learned that I should download "GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKJ1_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI3.exe" to change my firmware from Spainish to something Canadian. I have it downloaded now.
I also read that I should have Kies installed, due to the drivers that it contains, but not 'running' in any way. I installed Kies but it will not connect to my phone - maybe because of my spanish firmware? Does this matter or is just having its drivers installed the important thing?
Is there a tutorial about how I should proceed? Do I need to 'root' my phone first? Do I need additional software?
Sorry for my confusion but I am really unsure as to how to proceed?
Thanks,
Rob. (proud owner of a $700 paper-weight)

No need to dump just download it from below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
then just root it using CF-root from below using the XENKJ3 file, which you can then place original FW on SD card and flash back at anytime using cwm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
or just flash a custom rom using odin or once rooted using cwm
Once rooted you just delete all the crap you don't want off the phone.
