You're not the first person to get a bootloop by flashing that unroot. The files you will need to recover your phone are in the download repository linked in my signature.
I couldn't download the file from the GalaxyS2Root site. Could you please open the tar file and list the contents back here so I can see what's in it. I think it might be only a zImage, but not sure.
Gee, if only you had spent some time searching and reading...
Ok I got it to pass the screen with the samsung S2 Gt-I9100 with the triangle and flash a custom rom. But when it rebbots why does it still load up the same gt-i9100 screen?

because you didnt read the FAQ
How about using a jig would that get rid of the triangle on startup?
Don't use Jig, your phone will blow up; I think. I remember a thread on here about using a jig, you should look for it before proceeding any further.

Hey sorry if I've posted this in the wrong area . But it is a question. Has anyone used the free yellow triangle removal tool with success?
I have the triangle but have read the warning that comes with it and its slightly putting me off using it after all I don't want a £500 paper weight.

I've used it several times zero problems.
That's not a guarantee though! I suppose there is an element of risk.
If you're not happy using the app get yourself a jig.

I bought a jig of tbay but it only drop the phone into recovery mode .. does not remove the counter or the triangle ... i was told the jig only works on older kernals.
Ive got the latest CWM installed dont know how true that advice was but it wouldnt work hence me asking if anyone had used the removal tool .,
Thanks for the relpy though
Yeah you need an older boot loader for the jig. Check intratechs thread in original android development.
But seriously the app has worked flawlessly for me

Are you talking about the yellow warning triangle when i9100 boots up?
I have that too, and always thought it was normal.
A USB Jig shouldn't be forcing your phone into recovery mode, it should force your phone into download mode. Anyway, it won't reset your flash counter because you probably have a new bootloader. I had a new bootloader and had to flash an old bootloader through Odin in order to reset the flash counter.
Chris.
Cheers guys I've now sorted both custom count and the triangle using the free app ...many thanks for your input gately appreciated guys

It only shows if you have a rooted phone that's not an original kernel from what I've learned while reading the forum

Hey I have a question for you guys I read somewhere about something called a flash counter which gives information to samsung that you have tampered with their rom (when they check it of course). So my question is by using SGS3 toolkit 2.0 does this happen. Let's say I have problems with the phone will the warranty still be valid. Also about installing skins. Do I have to root in order to install let's say the ICS Domination.
Thanks in advance and sorry for asking such noob questions

I actually have one more question. If I decide can I "unroot" the phone, just get it back to factory settings without Samsung finding out I had messed with the phone.

You can reset flash counter using Triangle Away and then flash a complete stock ROM using ODIN

Please give more details like what android version and kernel you were using. And from your signature are you using S1?
Sent from my potato running a potato.
Try Odin happen to me once PC didn't recognize but Odin still did. Go to stickies section in Sgs2 section find stock ROM flash after I plugged in to kies and it did the rest. This method worked for me twice when all I had was a flickering black screen. Hope it works with U. Try to put into download mode three bottom press. PM if U need more help.

Its the sgs2 from my friend android version 4.0.4 stock rom
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Guessing that you have hard bricked the phone, due to doing wipe on stock rom.
Not much you can do, a new motherboard is required
Can you enter download mode?
Download mode is entered by Volume Down + Home + Power pressed simultaneously when your phone is off.
Sounds like your motherboard is toast. you got warrenty? maybe theres hope
nope
no compassion at all.
If you had read just a little bit about rooting / flashing, you would have known that you should not do a CWM factory reset on stock 4.0.4 rom.
Just like here:

and here:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/hard-brick-bug-on-galaxy-s-ii-and-note-leaked-ics-kernels/
...and so on.
I guess you have to tell your friend that you ruined his phone
Hi!
I would like to know how to root an I9100XWLSS. That's a friend's phone, there is no custom recovery. The phone was stuck on bootscreen and I just flashed a stock firmware with Odin.
I am not very familiar with the I9100 (I own a I9300).
Thanks.

By looking and reading the topics that already exist about this question instead of creating "spoon feeding" requests.
Do you seriously expect anybody to believe that you thought nobody else has even asked or discussed how to root a galaxy S2 on here??
Same way as it is with i9300, custom kernel with root.
You're kidding, right ?
This phone has been out for two years, this has been asked/answered thousand upon thousands of times & you CBA following forum rules and searching, eh ?
