We can help but not w/o info from your end.

yep. Zedomax doesnt seem to care that his website sucks. he steals download links from developers and uploads them to his site with no directions or links to the original threads. he needs to quit because his video are horrible also. umm quadrant this, ummm quadrant that bullsh$t. he uses quadrant of all things. that just goes to show that he knows absolutely nothing about android. he's been creating victims since day one that he's posted his websites.

Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Use the return to stock with root one click method linked above.
Then install mobile odin and flash a clockwork mod enabled kernel like entropy's daily driver or siyah, make sure you download the gingerbread version.
Now that you have cwm you can install any cwm flashable ROM (which most are).
Make sure you read all stickies and search first before asking. Enjoy!

Hi all,
I tried rooting my ATT S2 using the instructions here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414) and everything went perfectly fine, except at the last step where I launched S2 Root, it launched but couldn't see the phone.
Despite all that, now the back button doesn't work and more importantly I cannot send or receive phone calls. I can make and receive the call, but there is no audio.
I guess for now I just want to go back to the stock kernel.
Any help is greatly needed, this is my work phone so I need to get it working again ASAP.
Thanks
Flash a stock rom..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Flash a Stock ROM and use CF-Root if that method fails.
Thanks guys!
I'm new to this, if that wasn't apparent.
So where do I go to get the stock ROM?
Okay, so I found the original ROM and flashed using ODIN, the yellow exclamation mark has gone away, which I assume is a good thing, but the back button is still not working and there is no audio for phone made or received.
Any ideas?
I think the stock rom should be a wipe one...

Allegedly??? LOLwut?
Read this:
In recent years it has become common for speakers to include allegedly in statements that are controversial or possibly even defamatory. The implication is that, by saying allegedly , the speaker is distancing himself or herself from the controversy and even protecting himself or herself from possible prosecution. However, the effect created may be deliberate. The use of allegedly can be a signal that, although the statement may seem outrageous, it is in fact true. Conversely, it is also possible to use allegedly as an expression of ironic scepticism.

Hi jithendra194,
if you already flashed the clockworkmode this could be the problem!
I know a friend who had to flash stockrecovery again, before rooting his device.
Rooting wasn't possible by using the clockworkmode, but with stock recovery rooting was successfully
So you can try flashing the stock recovery first (from here) and after it you should flash the upd_1.zip (from here)
Good luck
hope someone knows what to do. i just rooted using zedomax's root kernel on the galaxy s2 root site. now when I try to turn on wifi I cant get it to turn on. I even tried going to cwm and wiping everything but wifi still wont turn on.

Sir would do well to read through some of the guides (at least the highlights on the first few posts)
Chainfire wrote the following:
and pretty much all you need to know is
Instructions - ODIN (long)
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
Click to expand...

Then it's a matter of finding a kernel with a TAR that you're comfortable with and doing the above with that kernel rather than CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar although CF-Root is a fine stock insecure (rooted) kernel.
Personally, I rather like the Siyah kernel for which you can pick up the TAR file (you use TAR files with Odin) here
Consider donating a small amount to Gok if you have sufficient disposable income (same applies to anything you use long-term, IMHO).
You're welcome to PM me but be aware that I may take a while to respond (my wife is in hospt...)

Or someone who is nervous about breaking their expensive phone, knows that they have voided their warranty and hoped to find someone kind enough to hold their hand.
What I don't understand,@Theunderlying,is the motivation behind your post. If you don't wish to aid, why not just stay silent and avoid diminishing the reputation of the community. I hope it's not some reactionary neurosis because no one ever helped you early on forcing you to learn yourself with the aid of what has been discussed in the forums and that you don't like to see others degrading the purity of the forums now that you are better informed.

This is actually worse than what @Theunderlying posted.
The thing is, OP would not respond to useful questions and answers in his other thread, while he kept asking the same question here.
I guessed that was what pissed @Theunderlying off.
Personally i believe the OP is a little impatient, bit in a hurry and he probably doesn't need that because if anything bad should happen to his phone, he will only have himself to blame

You wanna flash the stock ROM option.
Now....looking at this closely I'm concerned about that "changes the time by itself" thing. Ask her if the device has been in touch with any kind of liquid (coffee, water, drink, etc).

I bought the S2 used.
Came with ICS 4.0.3.
Recently I flashed Omega Rom, why I need to follow the installation of Stock Rom? Because Omega is Sammy based?
So, in your opinion, I need to follow this:
"If you are installing a new STOCK ROM and want to do a Nuke/Wipe then:
1. Reboot into CWM Recovery
2. Install zip from SD card>Run GS2ROMWipe or GS2ROMNuke
3. Reboot into Download mode
4. Install your stock ROM via Odin
5. Re-root your device"
???
You're gonna flash a stock ROM after you wipe. Stock ROMs are great to see if an issue persists because, if it does, you need to start thinking about a hardware issue.
Did you ask her about the water/whatever?

Yes, and she told me that never came into contact with water or liquids.
So, summarizing and concluding, after doing the "[CWM UTIL] GS2ROMNuke/Wipe/Reset/Clean Scripts," I have flashing for example the official 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and then root?
Lastly, view what happens with the phone, right?

You advise another or this is ideal?
In a few days i´m gonna try your solution... 4 days have passed and the phone has not given problems... weird...
If it's not giving you crap don't flash anything.
You could also flash stock and see how it goes.
