I have a broken screen Galaxy S2. Is there any way to remotely (through PC or something) to wipe it out? I want to send it to Samsung for repair, but I want to clean my information from it first.

Do you have 2 galaxy s2?
You can do it via ADB. Plenty of threads on here showing you how to do same, search.

You have to find a Rogers rom somewhere, maybe on www.sammobile.com/firmware and flash it with Odin. Or else google around. This forum is for the Inernational version of the S3. Look in the US/Canadian thread.
You`re in luck here you find info:
PDA:I727RUXLF3
CSC:I727RRWCLF3
Phone: I727RUXLF3
Android Version: 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich
source: Samsung Canada
*facepalm*
Well that explains your problem.
That rom is for the INTERNATIONAL VERSION ONLY.
This forum is for the INTERNATIONAL VERSION ONLY.
your need the version for the north American version.

See post 4 above and find a rogers rom in the US forum and flash it with Odin. I would get a jig to get into downloadmode.

Best bet is to head over to the forum for the at&t, sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon versions, nothing you will get here will work for your phone, they all share the same hardware whereas the international one is completely different.

The you'll need a jtag. Search for a repair shop nearby and ask them if they can jtag your phone. Costs a few bucks but allows you to access download mode again.

No you can not possibly do that! Your device is completely different from the galaxy s3 for various reasons, by flashing a rom of other smartphone the only result will brick your device

When used in reference to consumer electronics, a "brick" describes an electronic device such as a smart phone, game console, router, or tablet computer that owing to a serious misconfiguration, corrupted firmware or a hardware problem, can no longer function. The term derives from the vaguely cuboid shape of many electronic devices (and their detachable power supplies) and the suggestion that the device can only function as a large, heavy object.

Sure hold on here whilst I flash the latest .ipsw file from Apple. I doubt that will brick my phone, after all, they are both smartphones!
But Is there any rom which is the same as the S3 firmware and needs no rooting

I dont think you are intelligent enough to do much with a phone.
But at least your next topic cant be as stupid as your first.
The one sought in the forum, there are custom rom leaving his appearance with the S3 S2.
Now this is really determined to install the rom S3 in S2, would you donate to your phone than using it with a paperweight in the future.

Good. That's actually very easy because there many custom ROMs with Galaxy S3 looks, launcher and everything.
Check under Galaxy SII Android Development Section.

There seem to be many ways to back up your EFS, which is the preferred method and easiest to restore if anything does go amiss? Or is it best to use a couple of methods just in case?
why did you post a question in this section?
Use all of them. Many backups better protection

Can anyone give me there favourite method or is it belts and braces and use everything? When I root again i was going to use goomanager and install TWRP does this also backup EFS?
Root your phone, navivate to /efs folder and backup it to external sd card
Sent from Hell thanks to Android
so a simple copy and paste would restore my efs folder in the event of a mishap?
Go to the market their are a number of tools or go to the faqs and guides .
Many custom roms now backup EFS on install .

Not excessive just unusual most noobs just blindly ignore all the instructions .
Suggest you also copy the backed up EFS to your PC for double safety .

Ill back it up on pc and dropbox.

Ok. If I may ask another question.
Im ready to root using cf auto root. Then I back up efs using efs pro...
Then I install goomanager and flash twrp recovery. Can I then use this to back up efs again? Whilst rooted I also browse ro efs folder and copy it to hdd for safe keeping.
After this I can flash a ROM safe in the knowledge that my imei is safe.

So I was wondering if I can explore files, pics, music from an un-rooted password-protected phone?
I presumed I can do that by flashing a CF-ROOT then opening recovery and mount storage!!
Is that possible???
