[Q] Unroot Galaxy S2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to unroot my phone without flashing stock roms via odin?
Id like to take my phone to service center i used triangle away to reset flash counter now only problem is to unroot my phone?

If you have SuperSU by Chainfire then simply click the app then settings. Scroll down to full unroot.
There are a number of root/unroot programs out there, that do not require you to reflash a firmware.
Here's one.

Or you could try mobile odin pro to flash an official firmware, from your phone.
Failing that Odin will be probably be your final option.

[Q] Root failed. please help

Hi all,
i am using sgs2 ics 4.0.3. I tried to root my phone using Odin and CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.tar file. But it failed. I tried again but result was same. I have xwlp7 kernel version and latest Samsung kies installed in my computer. Can anyone explain what could be the reason? And what should i do to root my phone. Please help.
You could try flashing a custom kernel like siyah or dorimanx or use this method:

hi Haxtreme, the alternative method you suggested, didn't work. But flashing siyah kernel did it. Thanks to you. But suggest me what is the next step after rooting my phone. i have taken a back up of rom using cwm. i am a new root user.
Next step should be efs backup.
The next step!
You got root and CWM!
The next step!
Install custom ROMszZ
The next step!
Install custom kernels!
The next step!
Overclock/underclock! As you desire!
Backup apps with titanium backup!
Backup using nandroid!

If u wish to start something w/ odin (just use odin3 v1.85 for s2) then first time u must do is uninstalling kies as it's messed over both..
Then If u have stock rom zip, start flashing it again by ticking one packages & tick & browse pda to matched zip stock. Stay away from another option in odin then. If it's successful, mean ur phone had a full wipe reset to stock factory (that's why u need backup like TiB).
At this point I think u can root by rahmat3 methods without any issues if u run it carefully as his per. No worries..

[Q] Flashing a rom

Do i need to unroot my device first.. i want to flash my device to 4.1 stock firmware, or wipe dalvik cache?..
no need to root - just flash via Odin.

my phone is currently rooted, i meant should i unroot before flashing?
whenever I flash a stock firmware via odin my phone gets unrooted automaticaly
I had the same question but after searching a bit, I was informed I could just flash using Odin. Most likely lose root but can be rerooted afterwards, at least that's what I was told.

Yup, just flash with Odin then flash cf root again afterwards

[Q] Cannot root new Black Galaxy S3 I9300

Hi! I've got a problem with my new Black S3, I just got it today and I immediately upgraded to Jelly Bean 4.1.1. After a successful update, I tried rooting, Odin displays a PASS but after rebooting, my S3 is not root. No superSU icon or CWM icon. Is there a problem rooting the Black S3? or is the Jelly Bean 4.1.1 cannot be rooted yet? I'm using the CF-Root by Chainfire. \
My sister's S3 is the Pebble Blue one, I rooted it when it was still on ICS 4.0.4 then when I updated it to JB 4.1.1, I just re-rooted it using the same method above, using ODIN and CF-Root by Chainfire and I succeeded in rooting it.
Is it required to root the S3 on ICS first then upgrade to JB? Please help me on this.
Thanks!
Somebody mentioned not auto-starting after flash and manually going into recovery to trigger installation.
Uncheck the auto restart box and flash, then turn phone off and go into recovery

What will I do after going into recovery? What files should I install in-order to root? Up until now I've been using CF-Root by Chainfire because it already has the SuperSU and CWM installed automatically.
Please advise. Thanks!
Use CF root it works on JB .

I've been using this "CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4" by Chainfire. Now it doesn't work on my new Black S3.

[Q] Stock recovery flash

Can i flash stock recovery with mobile odin
you can't flash a stock recovery. it comes with a stock rom, and mobile Odin is made exactly for flashing stock roms

So i can go to stock rom with mobile odin?
And bydeway i already flashed stock recovery with mobile odin and in works...
I was pretty sure there isn't a stock recovery separately from the rom.
of course you can flash a rom with mobile Odin, that's what it's for

You where wrong about the stock recovery flash it is possible...
But can i flash stock samsung rom with mobile odin and will it then make everything stock(recovery)(rom)and modified status too...
you are asking the same question for the third time, read my replies.
you will need to use Triangle Away, unroot, then factory reset for everything to be stock

heres my suggestion
once you already went back to stock rom, then your traiangle away but still want your phone rooted. what you can do is to search here in XDA the CFAutoroot for our S3 and your system status still be NORMAL. works for me
I used cf auto root and have always had stock rom. I still have modified status.

Rooting difference from S2 to S3

So my S2 died the other day and I went to buy a i9300. Now I've been searching about S3 rooting and I've found conflicting info on this.
So when I first rooted my old S2 I did it with a temporary CWM that disapeared ofter reboot stayed in stock with stock kernel and kies was able to update my firmwsre without deleting root. I actualy updated from 2.3.5 to ICS via kies without removing root or loosing it after.
I was wondering if the same could be done with the i9300 I want to remain stock for now and don't want to replace stock recovery with CWM. Is there a temporary CWM for S3 so I can push the SU binary to system part without flashing anything over stock?

I did try the search button. The only thing i found was someone talking about the new recovery in S3 only flashing signed packages from samsung or something like that.
Thats why i opened a new thread to see if someone had some new info on it.

CF-AUTO ROOT. Installs only the SuperSU app. Does not install custom recovery. Dunno about updates, though. I think it supports OTA.

Use CF Auto Root from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273 Download Odin and the CF auto root for your phone all instructions are on this thread
You can still update via Kies as long as everything is kept stock even though its rooted but you wont get any OTA updates that wont work

Thanks. So that method everything stays stock including recovery and o xan still use kies. Will a kies update erase root or will it be like with the s2 where the root sticks after the update?

Yes the update will remove root but after update simply flash root with odin again, only takes a few minutes
