OK so I'm using the gs2 but I bought a note to try out. I'd like to root it so I can use titanium backup but if I do decide to return it can I reset the flash counter? I have a jig for my gs2 would that work? And is rotting the note as simple as it was to root my gs2?

Also forgot to ask can someone direct me on how to make a factory backup of the att sofftware for me to flash if I do want to return it back to stock. I forgot to do that before I rooted my gs2

Not as far as I know. It looks like the bootloader is preventing us from doing this. I've got a jig for my gs2 and it just puts the note into download mode (counter doesn't change).

I plan to buy s3 but i have a question in mind. I dont like to install custom roms and only need to root the s3 in order to install Titanium Backup Pro.So if i root it and not install custom recovery and no other mod just superuser and titanium backup pro will i be able to get fota update. And also can i easily unroot it and go back to as it was before?
Don't root, BUY the games, get updates.
Cracked games are bad mkay?

Edited due to Op editing his post, which originally stated he wanted to know if this would affect his use of cracked games!

Using cf.root you can keep the phone as close to stock as possible and have root, you can still get official updates through KIES but OTA downloaded updates seem to be giving ppl problems.
To slaphead20 and burden010 just cause the guy doesnt want custom roms doesnt mean hes cracking games or doing anything illegal. I only rooted my stock rom so I could fully use titanium backup and mybackup pro, plus custom roms arent that far from stock at the moment anyway so give the guy a break.
edit :- I see OP has edited his post maybe he did announce he was doing something wrong.

Thanks and im very sorry people. Will surely read the rules before posting.
If you have only a rooted stock Rom then you should be fine for receiving ota updates. Worst that might happen is you will loose root.

Hi,
I recently rooted my Galaxy S2 about a month ago but now want to unroot it as I have noticed it has been running a bit slower and occasionally crashing.
However I do not know how to unroot the phone, so please could someone help me. Thanks
Put it under the shower, apply some Dove strong roots shampoo, massage n rinse thoroughly. Dont forget to towel dry it in the end.

root a device can´t lead in crash, the problem may be the kernel that flashed.
try siyah ie and tell us
You can just flash a stock firmware.. also you can reset to factory settings so you can get hold of that "brand new" feel

I want to get rid of the root because the GPS has also stopped working since I rooted. Before I rooted, everything was fine.
But I don't know how to unroot the phone, so please can someone help me. Thanks
BTW, I think I did use Siyah when I rooted. I'm a noob at this so please can you explain how to do everything. Thanks

If you want to unroot your phone and go back to official rom you can go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and download the official rom for your phone and install it thru ODIN.. . after this if you want you can again unroot your phone by a safer method(odin method).

Go to www.sammobile.com download a stock firmware and flash through odin. But Im sure you can fix your problem without unrooting. What rom and kernel are you on
Ok, I've unrooted my S2 and flashed a new firmware on my device. However when I was rooted I uninstalled the voice talk. This is still uninstalled and my GPS problem is not sorted. I was thinking of installing the voice talk again and return it to Samsung to get the GPS sorted as its still under warranty.
So now I need to install the Voice talk, or is there any way of restoring the whole phone to like new so I can return to Samsung?

Okay so i rooted my gs3 and got through it but then i change my mind about it and wanted to unroot it, that is when i discovered that i couldn't get root access, so i thought "i'll just root it again properly this time" i know so stupid of me. So i found this tut on how to do it right and i used the file from shiyahkernel as listed on the site. So i rooted it in ofin abd got a green pass, but then my gs3 turned on beginning flashing the icon from shiyahkernel and won't stop doing that.
I can still access download mode and recovery mode. I am pretty much a noob so please go in to details
Can anyone help me?
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!
Go into recovery and do a full wipe or...
Flash a stock Rom from sammobile.com
There's plenty of guides in this forum on how to do it.

Here is an "official" Odin restore file to return your phone back to the shipping software. Why is this useful? Well, to restore your phone back to the stock software. This is an invaluable tool for anyone messing around with their phone. If/when an OTA update is released, I'll post any future stock Odin files here as well, but for now, there is only one. A nice way to say thanks is the donate button as well, and it will help keep my hosting alive for these huge Odin files.
[size=+1]Instructions[/size]
Download the file below
Put your phone into download mode and connect it to your computer
Open Odin and make sure your phone is selected
Put the downloaded file in the PDA box
Press start
Enjoy a stock phone

Much appreciated.

Here in Canada they are really thorough and they just wait to find out something at user end so they can deny warranty.

We don't have a stock Rogers recovery, only the ATT 3e recovery ....
But the 3e recovery is generic anyway ...
It's in the super thread, and is CWM FLASH.
flash it before the reset zip file ...g
Thanks a lot all of you.
