How do I remove all traces of root and custom kernel??
The reason why, is that the headphones jack is broken and sending the phone in for repair.

Format cache, data, system, & internal sd card in CWRecovery, flash stock rom in Odin, use jig to reset flash counter if necessary.
Where can i get stock roms?
you can follow this: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-unroot/how-to-unrootunbrick-your-galaxy-s2-i9100-ics/
Here, Samfirmware.com or get the PC version of Checkfus to get the latest firmware for your phone model/carrier/country you'd normally get via OTA update.

I can't seem to figure out which one fits my phone...
What my phone is running right now:
PDA: i9100XXLPQ
PHONE: i9100XXKI4
CSC: i9100XXLPD
it's sorted by country/carrier and such
look for your country and carrier to find the right one
any of them will fit your phone, but if you're preferring some exact language options follow your own CSC.
Thanks for all the help everyone!
I love how the title if this thread makes root to be a contagious disease or something. Cute.

Isn't there something about when you flash a stock rom through Odin the binary counter doesn't go up?

The binary counter only increments when kernels (specifically kernels,not ROMs) that are not signed by Samsung are flashed via Odin. If you flash a non-Samsung kernel via means other than Odin, or flash Samsung official anything via Odin, it doesn't increase the count.

just reflash the offical rom, from odin and everything will be removed and will be stock
Are you able to perform any actions that require root? Or are those apps just there, without the ability to perform their designated functions (example: restoring a back-up via Titanium Back-up)?

well if you flash orignal firmware via odin the counter will not be increase
counter increase only After root the firmware.
flash Only rom it will remove yellow icon and will not increase Counter
I think the firmware which you are flashing is not full wipe.Follow this:
1)Flash lpq or any other ics firmware and let it reboot and see if the root is still present if not
2)Now flash Indian firmware which was shipped with your phone.

Once used triangle away to reset flash counter then go to recovery and do a factory reset(full wipe), remove battery, go into download mode, flash DDKL1 full firmware of some 300 mb and don't flash anything else(flashing stock firmware don't increase flash counter
Is there any way to get a custom recovery installed on the LQ5 ICS 4.0.4 without flashing a custom kernel?
Related to that, all I'm looking for is a way to make a nandroid backup with restore option, so if there's a third-party way of doing it, I'd appreciate any suggestions.
I've always used CF-Root Kernels, but I just Mobile Odin flashed this ROM and I have stock recovery, so the backup/restore features are gone.
Just flash the latest CF-Root kernel via Odin in the PDA section and you will obtain your custom recovery. No other way for it.

From what I can see, that's LPK 5.5, right?
Can I flash it via Mobile Odin?

I'll be extra cautious, as what I'm seeing here is it might have the emmc brick bug in kernel.
So what ever you do do not wipe using stock recovery.
I'm using the save ROM and loving it. But will wait for any more news.
Though I have wiped multiple times using the dial code.
Yes I believe you just flash the latest CF-Root either via Mobile Odin or normal Odin. As atifsh said, don't wipe anything in the stock recovery as the MMC_CAP_ERASE seems to still be present and will eMMC brick your device, which is a real pain considering Samsung know about this. But it is still only a leaked ROM, so be very cautious.

If you flash other kernel and you don't re-flash then the original one some things like bluetooth will not work....
If you do my procedure you will have CMW, Root & the most important thing: THE ORIGINAL KERNEL!!! :cyclops::good:
PRESS TNX BUTTON IF I HELP YOU :good:
When I flashed the Stock_LQ5-CWM.zip above, I lost custom recovery and went back to stock recovery.
Chainfire has released CF-Root for LQ5, so problem solved.
Thanks for the input.
Hey guys well at the moment I am running stock ICS 4.0.3, 19100T, IML74K.DULP9 as build number. But I am having troubles with the phone and I need to return for warranty, so I need to re root my device and use Triangle Away before going back to stock vodafone for my warranty and I'm just wondering what the best way is to do this all, like step by step guide would be useful! Thanks in advance
The easiest way would be to flash Siyah kernel with Odin.
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/07/29/siyahkernel-s2-v3-5/
After that, get rid of the triangle and reset the flash counter with that app.
Then download stock firmware and flash with Odin.
Thats it.

Also before unrooting remember to delete all traces of applications requiring root to work. I suggest to search the forum as I think I saw a guide regarding this.

Hello,
2 months ago I rooted my S3,
with the CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.2 & odin & stuff, It worked,
Today I wanted to unroot it, & I thought you could just Reset your phone and everyting would go back to factory settings, because I wanted some
original updates...
I found out if i did that it would still use SuperSU & be a Custom Firmware. So I removed the SuperSU app, Deleted CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.2 or it was CWM-SuperSU-v0.89 from my SD.
I wanted to reset it again with the hard mode setting or something: Volume up + home + lock key
I mounted everything /sd card /system /cache etc. Why? I dont know..
Now my phone gets stuck at the screen when you turn on your phone: Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300
Did I just brick my phone?
Greetings.
No you didnt. But your S3 has nothing to boot. So you should flash an original fw from sammmobile with odin.

You could try to make a full recovery with Samsung Kies.

Are you sure this works?
We are not Samsung customer service and we do not guarantee it work. In this same general section there are two sticky threads that will guide you can download the stock rom and flash it using Odin, titled " [Stock Official Firmwares] I9300XXBLG8 (4.0.4) - United Kingdom" and "[Guide+ROMS]Odin Flash+Root Guide & Stock Firmwares".
You will lose all your data in the phone when you flash Odin. Also this forum section is for the international unlocked version, make sure you aren't using an American carrier locked version.
Also, question belongs in the Q&A section.
Hey Galaxy SII people, I need some help with a friend's SII.
I'm quite knowledgeable with custom ROMs and recoveries, but I have no idea what to do with a stock phone.
The phone is rooted and not getting the OTA to ICS. I want to get the OTA, losing root not necessarily a problem.
Can someone give me a hand with this? I have no idea what I need to do.
The phone also has the stock recovery.
I apologize if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a conclusive, comprehensive answer.
Go to samfirmware and download the update firmware and install it via odin.
All the best.

Flash stock ROM from http://samfirmware.com/ via Odin. Search for galaxy S2 ROMs, just make sure you don't download the dangerous ROMs (the ones with a warning triangle next to them).

Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm downloading a zip now. I flash this with Odin/Heimdall? I thought I needed a .tar and a bunch of other files to flash with Odin.
This won't keep root, right? Is there any way I could get root back after flashing?
Also, will this wipe /data?
Oh, and I have the option to download a ROM for a specific carrier. Does that mean I can't use another carrier?
Edit: While I'm at it, is the stock recovery needed for anything stock ROM related?
Yes download will be in the form of a zip file, once downloading is complete you can extract the tar. file and place in the PDA section of odin. This will not wipe your device, well never has done for me. Yes you will loose root as you have a completely new rom with stock kernel. See the guide for rooting your chosen firmware. As for the carrier i always use the unbranded /open version as this has less bloat ware. All the best.

Make sure you don't have repartition button ticked or play with the pit file if you don't 100% know what you're doing either
