Im looking to root my new Galaxy S2 and have read the various post about rooting and after considering the pros and cons am going to go ahead with it.
My worry is that I want to be able to take it back to as it is now unrooted, but am really unsure as to which downloads im looking at getting.
Im sadly currently on three uk network
pda= I9100XWLP7
PHONE=I9100NELP3
CSC=H3GLP3
Im sure ive got the right files for rooting and am looking to root with CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5 file, hope thats right?
I got a usb jig on its way to clear the counter.
Any help will be appreciated
Cheers
yep, that is the right kernel to flash to root your current version of the firmware. you might want to take another look at the cf root thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
which gives you the full instructions on how to root. if you ever want to unroot, refer to the stock firmware thread to find the unrooted kernel or flash the full unrooted firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Additionaly, if you want to remove the triangle without a usb jig try flashing an ics rom and root it and then try chainfire's Triangle Away app.. For sale on the market but free for XDA users

So to go back to when received state install the intratech password one at the bottom? So would that make the XEU download debranded?

Ask intratech if he still uses old boot loaders for his ROM.

Here are 2 easy ways you can root without modifying your binary counter, (altering kernel).
Flash a firmware from liriquid, it is prerooted!
Follow this guide.
or just flash any firmware you like, flash a cf-root kernel (all of them should do the job, LP7 8 9 DX9) and use triangleaway. Easy peasy.
The first thing you should do is download the ROM that is already on your phone. If your phone gets rooted or you flash a different ROM (all which invalidatte your phone's warranty) then you can get back to where you were. It saves you from having to ask for it later because the file is no longer being hosted.
After that it is just a bit of reading - the folks above have given enough links.
Ive looked for my current rom can't find it anywhere, thats why I started the thread.
Cheers for all the help so far

Just looked at the intratech downloads, couldnt find phone=I9100NELP3 only NELP2 and the same for CSC could only find H3GLP2 and not H3GLP3, does that make any difference. Still got no idea on the stock rom I already have.
Just to let you know I rooted the phone this morning using the help given and had no problems.
Many thanks

Hi all,
A quick question on how easy to roll back (un-root) and put back the stock ROM?
My current ROM is stock Telstra ROM. (just bought the phone today)
PDA: DVKF4
PHONE: DVKF2
CSC: TELKF3
Build Info : Jun 21
I know how to roll back a HTC Desire - by installing the RUU image from HTC or use the PB99IMG.zip install method to remove "root" and put back into std ROM.
I have yet to root my SGS2. Reason to un-root and go back to stock ROM is for warranty purposes. you never know what will happen (for example, my desire decides to dies on me yesterday, had to put back stock ROM to submit for warranty claim).
thank you in advance

Nope. Jig is only required to clear the custom Rom counter, in case you have to claim warranty and return the phone to Samsung. And also to force the phone in Download mode, if something bad happens while flashing custom ROM etc.
hey cad,
Made any headway here?
I just bought an SGS2 from Telstra as well and I have a similar phone to yours.
PDA: DVKF4
PHONE: DVKF2
CSC: TELKF3
I too would like to retain the stock kernel, firmware and csc.
If we root with an insecure kernel, how do we go back to stock kernel if it's not downloadable?
Could we just flash another kernel if we are making a warranty claim and hope they don't check?
I assume CSC is where all the Telstra crap is stored and once we get ROOT, we should be able to back this up out of \system

Usual is flash a relevant stock rom or older stock rom and update via Kies.

Hello,
i would like some guidance on the rooting side of things. with every page i read im getting more and more confused.
i have installed/flashed litening rom.
ive used the sim unlock tool to unlock my phone.
im confused on all of the unsecure and secure stuff.
i would like my phone back to how i had it when i bought it, without the root access etc.
am i right in thinking that i would need the latest stock secure kernal which i would flash in exactly the same way as i flashed litening? or am i getting the wrong end of the stick.
or would i have to flash the specific three firmware (im not bothered about having all the three stuff on it but if i have to then so be it)
You need to follow Chainfire thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Don't get too much confused, its simple.
BTW- Aren't you already rooted as you are on Litening ROM!

If you want to get it back to stock "back to how it was when I bought it", don't use any KG firmware unless you're from Poland or Brazil - IIRC, they're the only 2 areas that KG firmware is "official", i.e., flashable via Kies.
Sounds like you'll need a KF firmware. If you can't remember what your firmware originally was, try this:
http://fus.nanzen.se/
- will also tell you your latest available official update.
KG and KH 2.3.4
Rest is 2.3.3
Edit - see you've got KF3 - for your scenario, 99% sure it's the right choice.

Hello all, and sorry for my newb-ness!
I was looking around for making my SGS2 "legal" again, flashing it with entirely "old" firmware, but the firmwares i found here, are not fitting the original description i have.

but the problem is;
[ROMS]Official i9100 carrier branded firmware download for Odin Flash
The only fitting my phone and operator is from the SP (3), where mine is Telia...
I even tried getting the ones from 3, but as the download links doesnt work, im pretty lost, can someone help me?

or any firmware for Telia
or can anyone link to me to any firmware hardcoded with telia's info?

You'd need the stock kernel relating to the rom, I've had no need to service so not sure, if anyone else who has had previous experience on this could help.

Try Checkfus. There's a thread on here, search for it.
what should i do with that?
i dont need to check if there is an update, i just want either an older version kernel/firmware from Telia Denmark
which is working, so that i can update the old fashioned way!
or what was you intention with checkfus?
You can download the KI8 firmware with Checkfus. Try it & see

In my case, in the standard tab I chose Android/GT-I9100T/Australia (Vodafone), then I clicked on check firmware. Checkfus told me KJ1 was the latest available, I clicked download, waited for it to download the firmware and at the end of the process it automatically decrypted it.
Which gave me a zip containing a tarball (just like the firmware in Intratech's thread) I can flash in Odin if I ever need to go back to stock.
See... I didnt notice if my phone is a regular GTi9100 or a -T, -N or whatever the options are, how do i find such info, because i was so smart not to make a backup of my current settings :-(

Any I9300 stock rom would basically work. Just choose one for your region at Sammobile! You have to register, but it has all the stock FW you'll need.
Just make sure you flash the right one in ODIN under PDA with all the checkmarks as it, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION or anything else.
If you want to root afterwards, flash CWM, and then SuperSU/SuperUser, which one is just preference. I personally prefer SuperSU.
Any will do
Just go sammobile website download latest stock rom for your country
Else slowly ota update to jellybean if you haven't root

I'm from Argentina, using Movistar carrier phone. I've decided to use the last stock firm from UK, usually gots the latest firms updates, my recomendation, update to UK (BTU) from sammobile, then, root the phone, then, install triangle away, it will reset the counter for CFW. This time reset the samsung galaxy csc from the google play store, this will wipe your phone and reset to the desire country, select UK. Finally now you can check that your phone looks original, and is updateable with kies

Jepp, you're right, didn't notice that, so I went to your suggested post and also noticed:

Which did the job just fine! Many thanks for the suggestion.
Just one thing, I thought I'd be getting that 'Yellow Triangle' and I would have to use the "remover" but I'm not seeing didn't, so I haven't used the "remover". So all I've done if flashed the 'I9300XXDLJ4' (BTU) ROM/FW and then the 'CF-Auto-Root-m0-gti9300.zip'
can anyone tell me if my S3 is now recognized as a "normal upgradable" phone by Kies ?
Thanks again

Ah, ok, so no yellow triangle on SGS3 then, thanks.
I suppose I'll still use the remover/cleaner to '0' the counter and I'll just have to see about Kies/OTA when Samsung releases 4.1.2.
Thanks for all the assistance and help!
