Just wondering if this can be done please so I don't risk my warranty
Also what are the main advantages to rooting please? ( I am not thick, but I have just come from a jailbroke i4, so i would just like some quick opinions )
Thanks

Moved to General. Please don't open threads to ask questions in development.
You can unroot. Stock ROMs exist here which can be flashed via ODIN, and which will remove root. If you are on O2 UK branded ROM, it is also available.
To reset the number of "unsigned" ROMs flashed though, you need to use a USB Jig (which is a resistor and a USB plug).
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064894 for re-branding and unrooting an O2 model, and another thread is somewhere for restoring the stock firmware for a non branded one.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068522 to reset the counter in download mode.

Current problem with rooting is that there is a counter for number of flashed custom kernels inside the phone. When you root, that number goes up. No info yet on how to reset the counter, so it's possible that it could affect your warranty. (Unlikely, but possible) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068522 - Kind of difficult though, hopefully an easier way comes along!
Unrooting would be done by flashing back a stock Samsung kernel/rom.
Advantages to rooting are currently:
1) Removing system apps that you can't remove normally.
2) Run certain apps that require root. (Not many of these, really)
3) Modify the framework.apk which let's you do things like skin some of the UI, such as changing battery meters and that.

Eh? You can reset the counter now mate
Shove a USB Jig from an SGS 1 into the USB port and it should reset and remove the yellow warning, even telling you that a custom kernel is an original binary... See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068522
Thanks for your replies everyone
What is the best method to use to root, which is the easiest to reverse?
Thank you so much!

One method to root. Thread is stuck on development area.
One method to unroot. Thread is in development. You flash stock rom via odin and then reset counter with a jig

You can buy a jig online or make one. It's a single resistor and a usb connector. Solder them together correctly and done
Difficulty to someone with the slightest electronics experience is zero. I'm going to pop one together tomorrow and it will likely take about 4 minutes, most of which waiting on soldering equipment to heat up.

Unroot - just flash one of the stock ROMs.
Stop samsung knowing of the flash? It's the "reset counter" thread.
Just a Question...
If i just Root the Stock ROM without flashing any other Custom roms as I can live with stock.. will that have any effect on Flash Counters?.. I dont want to void warranty ...So i can flash stock rom again..
If I flash stock roms.. counters will run or will not be effected?
will not be affected.
I have a question,
I rooted my device and now i have to send it in for service.
I have flashed in a stock rom and reseted the counter but when i check my info in settings it says
[email protected]#2
I have tried with super one click but i only get
Getting model...
GT-I9100
OK 0,03s
Getting version...
XWKF3
OK 0,02s

Any ideas how to get rid of the [email protected] in the end of the info?

That has nothing to do with root on your phone
I'm not sure but I think it is related to the build machine used to build the kernel.
You unroot by downloading the latest official firmware for you region/carrier. If that is done then you're fine.
Ok, since i downloaded the KF3 rom from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 thread it should be fine to turn the phone in for service, without they come back to me and say my root ruined my menubutton which have stopped working

well, there is a counter counting how many insecure kernels have been downloaded, you need the USB-jig to reset that, but in many cases the service centers doesn't check this at service.
I have already reseted the counter with a usb-jig and i have no yellow triangle or anything like that so it looks like everything is stock exept the kernel version.
hopefully they won´t even check it and repair it under warranty.
Sorry to bump thread. I flashed to stock firmware with odin3 but I think it is still rooted because the unlock tool, which requires phone to be rooted, still works. How do I unroot?
Flash full stock firmware = unroot if used the Chainfire CWM and Root method .

What is "flash one of the stock roms"?
I already rooted my Galaxy S2 now I would like to unroot it (I add certain programs for superuser, so that I would be able to run them as root while unrooted).
What rom should I get? Considering my kernel is XWKDD-CL16 ...
Hi all,
Not sure whether to root or not, as I fear for my warranty :/ does it affect warranty ? and can it be reversed?
Thanks
James
Just want to know if it can be easily reversed please
Also what are the main advantages and disadvantages ? ...
I wanna remove some samsung apps, install droidwall and install LCD Density
Root can be reversed, and we can reset the flash count for unsigned kernels too
So yeah it should be undoable fine by flashing a stock rom and resetting download counter.
How do you go about removing a root? And is data lost?
You could re-flash back to the stock rom....but that will erase your data.
does the stock rom also update the kernel back to a secure one??
Sorry to bump this old thread but can Samsung or others detect if the phone has been rooted and then unrooted it it were for example to sent back for repair under warranty?

Would it be possible to unroot just using Superoneclick?
I tried once and it worked. However, does it completely remove all traces of root?

Nothing works now that I have Gingerbread and I can't find anything TO work.
I am praying to the xda gods for their wisdom and knowledge to help me with this problem! I have been at this since 9AM, it is 2PM. What can I do??
i dont use sgs, but i do know cfroot kernel or any other kernel based on cfroot can help u out.

I have this same phone and took a look at the links in the second post. However the kernel numbers don't seem to be following the same format as the links in the thread.
Has anyone had any luck rooting this kernel on the c spire galaxy s showcase?
I tried Odin3 and it messed up my phone and I had to go get a new one.

SuperOneClick
I'm having the same issues. I have tried SuperOneClick and it stops on step 6.
I'm having the same problem too after updating to 2.3.5. Super one click freezes on step 6.
Same issue with my CSpire SGS running 2.3.5. I do think that speed and battery life are improved over 2.2, but I miss my root.

hello all,
i have followed entropy512's thread here to get my at&t samsung galaxy s2 rooted with stock settings...i then wanted clockworkmod recovery so i went to this and followed directions to get everything installed...everything was ok and working until a few weeks ago when the 'Check Update' option under Setting stopped working...
basically what happens is when i goto Settings-> Software Update->Check for updates->Hit OK (Check the AT&T server for new software update?) a dialog comes up that says 'Checking for software updates...' and nothing happens...i have left the phone over night with device management app checking for software updates... when this used to work, it took less than 1 minute to check...
finally, the only way for me to stop this is to go and force stop Device Manager under Applications->All, so before i restore the phone to factory, i was wondering if anyone knows what might be the issue here?
Thanks,

OTA updates require factory recovery. I'm a bit hazy on the details but I believe CWM, in short, replaces that.
It might also be because you either turned off/uninstalled or inadvertently removed factory bloatware.

Do you recall all the issues with UCKK6 Gingerbread? That was an AT&T release. The devs had to tear it apart to debug and try to fix it. Any build will have bugs in it. But generally, custom firmwares will have fewer bugs than AT&T firmware.

if my research that i conducted a while ago is right, then basically samsung has implemented a flash counter which increments each time you flash a custom, non-stock rom...it might also be applied to non-stock kernels/firmwares as well (im not too sure)...so to prevent the flash counter from ever incrementing, ill need to put the phone in download mode using the jig and continue from there...

This is wrong. It is only incremented when you use ODIN to flash nonstock items. CWM has no bearing on flash counters.

You have some bad information...but I have some good news for you.
The flash counter only counts the number of times you've flashed a custom kernel in download mode via Odin. Using CWM to flash anything can't touch the flash counter. Same goes for Mobile Odin. I've been rooted and flashing for months, I don't have a jig, and my counter is still at zero.

Any GB issues only surfaced if you updated to 2.3.6. 2.3.4 for a "stock" firmware was pretty awesome. I'm on the latest ICS leak from ATT (LD4) and aside from the emmc bug (I'm using a safe kernel so I don't have it) IMHO its more complete then CM9 was. I stopped using CM9 at the end of May and don't miss it at all now.

Hi, I was hoping someone could direct me to the back to stock file so I can unroot this galaxy tab 10.1 I had a friend root it for me, but I honestly, at least for this tablet have had nothing but problems. I cannot stand the inconsistancies, and lack of camera use. I did a restore to what I thought was stock, but the tab is still rooted and while I have functionality of the camera's back, the pictures are terrible and grainy.
If someone has a link, or anything helpful to get this tablet back to stock/factory settings for I'd love it. I have been currently trying to fix this. I loved this tablet until it got rooted. Please help.

If someone has a link, or anything helpful to get this tablet back to stock/factory settings for I'd love it. I have been currently trying to fix this. I loved this tablet until it got rooted. Please help.

Uninstall superuser.
And use root explorer to remove "SU" file from: /system/bin/SU or /system/xbin/SU
Howndo you uninstall superuser. This whole rooting madness is driving me crazy. Ive yet to see any real benefit to it. At least on my tab.

download & flash ICS 4.0.4 released for italy via odin.
you can google how to get into download mode and flash via odin.
after flashing, go to recovery mode and wip/factory reset -> reboot.
then enjoy the ICS 4.0.4
Or just get the OTA version available now.

I've flashed from rooted ICS to HC 3.2, and then updated back to ICS via OTA with no problems.
Unsure if this thread will even be seen anymore, but I just saw an article for the program triangle away. Since I have flashed this tab several times, I am about to send it into the mfg for repair for the cable charge problem it was having. I'm wondering. Will I need to unroot this tab again, use triangle away and reflahs again? Or is this model exempt from the flash counter?

i don't think there is a flash counter, but i may be wrong. someone nice enough to check?
EDIT:
Actually, yes, yes there is a flash counter. It says
Custom Binary Download: No (0 counts)
I'm looking at my GT-P7510 right now as we speak.
Uh oh, looks like I gotta do a couple things before I send it back then. Thanks!

Hi, I saw this today too. But does it really count when you flash? Mine says 0 but i flashed the bootloader, recovery and rom several times. Confused...

same story here. as far as i remember, it was also 0 too... Weird. Maybe because we flash through recovery and not Odin...
