i recently rooted, flashed an insecure kernal and installed Litening rom.. since then ive had issues with my handset and it is to be sent back to repair, so i need to unroot.
i tried running S2 Root v1.1 and hitting the "Unroot" function, however it just hangs on "Remounting /system to read only". i even had it run overnight 7+ hours with no success.
i need to send my phone back within the next 2 days and really need it back to factory standards before i do so, any help please?
You need a jig and flash a stock rom with odin.

Hi all,
I'm new to the SGS2 - I previously had a Motorola Atrix, which was locked down so I couldn't use things like CWM.
I've rooted the SGS2 with the CF kernel, and now when I boot in to CWM it says 'Can't access to /system/csc/XEV/system' uder Applying Multi-CSC
And there's no backup option - does anyone have tips?
Thanks
Which root and CWM are you using and how did you flash .
jje
I used CF-Root with Odin, the CWM it came with is V1.80
Cheers
Try to flash the newer kernel from chainfire (4.0)...there's an newer cwm-version included...should work ;-)

Thanks for the responses.
Dontomate, I used CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE7-v4.0-CWM4.zip
I found it on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Do you use the ke7-firmware or a ke7-based-rom? If you do that but the problem is still there I recommend a full wipe and install the rom and kernel again.
Edit: maybe you must only flash the kernel again

Before I rooted it I checked the 'about' section and it already had KE7 there, so I used CF's KE7 firmware (I'm assuming this was the right thing to do). I then flashed another KE7 firmware over the top to remove the triangle warning on boot.
Everything's working, aside from this issue with CWM. I can boot in to it, but as outlined above I can't seem to backup
Cheers
Strange...seems you do everything right...but to be sure you should post your problem in the kernel-thread also! There're more people who can help you.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.
I was using odin, superoneclick and kies to root my phone. All was working fine untill superoneclick decided not to open and had an error message that said "Unable to find the version of runtime to run this application." I couldn't find a way to fix it after multiple attempts so I decided to try the easier way of rooting the phone. But this requires my firmware which is KDD but I can find the thread for it. Does anyone have the thread for it or help me find it. PLEASE help is greatly appreciated I have been doing this for more then 4 hours im getting really frustrated.
Dev section. Chainfires CWM and Root thre.

I rooted mine by flashing the lightning rom through Odin. The rom is already rooted. Even if you don't want to use it at least you are rooted and can flash other stuff now

+1 did the same. with CWM after u can go anywhere..
I bought a samsung galaxy s2 today and rooted it with "odin" and "s2 root".
I installed the insecure.tar rooted it and installed original.tar
Then I installed ClockworkMod Recovery 4.0.1.4 and Rom Manager from the marketplace, I rebooted into recovery mode and tried out clockworkmod and it worked fine but whenever I reboot my sgs2 it shows me this yellow triangle again.
Did I do something wrong? Is my phone "bricked"?
Your phone is not bricked. It is not bricked if you can boot into download, it certainly isn't bricked if it boots normally. I like to be more helpful with noobs, and would normally explain the triangle, but I'm in a bad mood, so search yourself.

the yellow triangle just warns you that your ROM is not from sammy.
Just means that you aren't running an official kernel/rom. Nothing to worry about. To get rid of it either flash back to an official rom and kernel using Odin or use a USB jig and an old bootloader.
If you have no jig use cf's method: install the correct cf kernel, then flash the original kernel back, then extract the zImage from your cf kernel put it on your sd card, go into cwm manager and flash the extracted cf zImage as a kernel and your triangle will be gone. There are more detailed instructions on his thread.

Not the best 1st post
Welcome.
It's alway good to search before asking questions. The sgs2 has been discussed on xda for a fair while now so I reckon just about anything you would want to know will already be posted somewhere.
Don't know if you have already found chainfires cfroot thread it's the easiest way to root your phone and all the info you need is in the 1st few posts.

Hi, its incredible how helpful some people are...
Anyways, if your planning on having a custom rom on the GS2 learn to love that yellow triangle. Sadly thats the way samsung devices are design to annoy users of custom roms.

If you are one ICS, ChainFire made an app to remove the triangle and reset the flash counter.

Dont think anyone is trying to be unhelpful. People understand more when they have answered the same question many times or had to read it over and over again.
OP appears to be intelligent, rooted and flashed cm, all without asking so I'm guessing they were just having a moment.
BTW reading what has been written about that new triangle removing app before using it is vital unless you're happy to brick your device if you get it wrong or Samsung change something.
Anyway happy flashing.

Hi all, this is my first time here in SG Note forum and I have some question about the root and how to do it.
Q1/ There are 2 methods to root the phone, Da_G and mashi! in this thread and I think this post also for Da_G. Which one should I do?!
Q2/ Can I remove the root and install the original room again after I did the root?! (to not lose the warranty)
These are my question and I hope I can get help from you guys
Jad
Root question
I used the root method 4. b. from the second link in Q1. That one will not raise your flash counter, if you are concerned with possible warranty issues. After that you can flash CWM then what ever rom you want to flash.
I am waiting for Odin mobile to be compatible with the sgh-i717 Note before flashing a rom because it doesn't raise your flash counter either. Until then I'm satisfied with just root so I can rid my Note of bloatwear.
We have a flash counter reset now that braway set up for us. With this you don't have to worry about tripping the flash counter because it will put it back to zero.
