Can i unroot my galaxy s 2 by restoring factory settings?
Or do i have to follow all the other guidelines and download all the firmwares and everything?
I'm new to this so, yeah sorry..
Thanks.
No
Unroot is flash stock rom
Reset custom rom counter to zero via USB jig.

Uhm,,, I dont have a USB Jig...
Then ebay is your friend!

my phone i9100g ,can't not reset flash counter,any idea can fix???
Does it boot into downloadmode when you plug in the jig while it's powered off?
And just not reset the counter?
Check Intratech's stock ROM thread for the "old bootloader" and flash it.
I can't use a "jib" either...

that s because samsung changed their bootloader from the update KI and on... so just flash back to gingerbread 2.3.3 and you can use ur magic JIB stick again ....

your search button not working ???
which leads you to the standard reply >>> Flash stock rom and reset custom rom counter

Do a search in Your phones Dev section for unroot instructions. You should find a .tar file you can push through Odin fairly easily, good luck!

No in order to return to an uprooted state for warranty purposes you would have to do a full wipe/factory reset and flash the original firmware via odin.

Is the usb jigg necessary? for warranty purpose.? I mean since Samsung didn't lock the bootloader...what will happen if I restore stock ROM?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yes. If you don't reset the flash counter, it shows you've flashed non-stock firmware on to the phone, and you can kiss any chance of having your phone repaired under warranty goodbye.
If they see anything other than Custom Binary Download = No & Current Binary = Samsung Official, you're boned warranty-wise. Unless you're lucky.
Edit to add - For the sake of 3 bucks, why would you take the chance they'll reject a warranty claim ?

Any stock ROM will do, as long as your binary counter is zero, custom binary download shows NO, and current binary shows SAMSUNG OFFICIAL.
I read a topic about triangleaway by Chainfire.. i read few pages and the OP but i did not find my answer. Im new user for samsung Galaxy S II.. I DONT WANT TO BRICK MY PHONE.. BUT i jus want to know what its use in ICS build..

What was unclear about this? It removes the custom binary flash counter, the one you see if you've flashed a non Samsung kernel from download mode, and also the corresponding indicator (triangle) when you boot your phone afterwards.

So don't flash anything, stick to stock, and wait for official updates via Kies.
I don't have triangle... I removed it using some other method... I have 2 counter.. but I just want to know why the need of reseting
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Resetting the flash counter isn't 'necessary'. But if you ever want to send your phone in for warranty service, not resetting the flash counter before you send it in for service might well mean you end up paying for your phone to be repaired/replaced rather than having same done on Samsung's dime.
Clear ?

Samsung warranty .
Void if custom rom or rooted phone or root apps or custom rom counter above zero .
Its as simple as that .
USB recovery jig can set custom rom to zero but not on later firmware with newer bootloader such as beta ICS .

Thank you.. I got answer..

Guys... I'm planning to give my mobile to the samsung service to claim the guarantee coz my mobile home button have become very hard to press...
So I backuped the official Rom which came with my handset... Even flashed official Kernel to remove the recovery.. but Root didn't even Removed ... how is that possibl...? Is there any way?
I even worked with Triangle away to remove the flash counter and triangle...

just reflash the offical rom, from odin and everything will be removed and will be stock
Are you able to perform any actions that require root? Or are those apps just there, without the ability to perform their designated functions (example: restoring a back-up via Titanium Back-up)?

well if you flash orignal firmware via odin the counter will not be increase
counter increase only After root the firmware.
flash Only rom it will remove yellow icon and will not increase Counter
I think the firmware which you are flashing is not full wipe.Follow this:
1)Flash lpq or any other ics firmware and let it reboot and see if the root is still present if not
2)Now flash Indian firmware which was shipped with your phone.

Once used triangle away to reset flash counter then go to recovery and do a factory reset(full wipe), remove battery, go into download mode, flash DDKL1 full firmware of some 300 mb and don't flash anything else(flashing stock firmware don't increase flash counter
If i have a custom rom on my s3 would a factory wipe through kies be enough to wipe my device clean and go back to as it was fresh out the box?
No you need to flash the stock rom

Just go to www.sammobile.com/firmware, register and download the rom you need and install with Odin. First reset the flashcounter before flashing and after you flashed the rom do a factory reset.
