OK so I'm using the gs2 but I bought a note to try out. I'd like to root it so I can use titanium backup but if I do decide to return it can I reset the flash counter? I have a jig for my gs2 would that work? And is rotting the note as simple as it was to root my gs2?

Not as far as I know. It looks like the bootloader is preventing us from doing this. I've got a jig for my gs2 and it just puts the note into download mode (counter doesn't change).

Hi,
I recently rooted my Galaxy S2 about a month ago but now want to unroot it as I have noticed it has been running a bit slower and occasionally crashing.
However I do not know how to unroot the phone, so please could someone help me. Thanks
Put it under the shower, apply some Dove strong roots shampoo, massage n rinse thoroughly. Dont forget to towel dry it in the end.

root a device can´t lead in crash, the problem may be the kernel that flashed.
try siyah ie and tell us
You can just flash a stock firmware.. also you can reset to factory settings so you can get hold of that "brand new" feel

I want to get rid of the root because the GPS has also stopped working since I rooted. Before I rooted, everything was fine.
But I don't know how to unroot the phone, so please can someone help me. Thanks
BTW, I think I did use Siyah when I rooted. I'm a noob at this so please can you explain how to do everything. Thanks

If you want to unroot your phone and go back to official rom you can go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and download the official rom for your phone and install it thru ODIN.. . after this if you want you can again unroot your phone by a safer method(odin method).

Go to www.sammobile.com download a stock firmware and flash through odin. But Im sure you can fix your problem without unrooting. What rom and kernel are you on
Ok, I've unrooted my S2 and flashed a new firmware on my device. However when I was rooted I uninstalled the voice talk. This is still uninstalled and my GPS problem is not sorted. I was thinking of installing the voice talk again and return it to Samsung to get the GPS sorted as its still under warranty.
So now I need to install the Voice talk, or is there any way of restoring the whole phone to like new so I can return to Samsung?

If you use a JIG or Triangle Away (ICS only) and then flashed a stock ROM then you will be able to use your warranty.

Yes, technically, your warranty is voided by flashing an insecure kernel or custom ROM, but if Samsung does not know about it, then there's not any way they can deny you warranty service, so the Triangle Away app or the Jig are options you can use to keep them from finding out. The jig only works on some bootloaders that are older. Newer ones prevent it from working, but the bootloader can be downgraded super easily via Odin flash without even touching the flash counter at all.
The Triangle Away app is an easy option, but it is not without risk, and even the read me info will tell you that there is a small risk of bricking your device, just as there is with any flash procedure you do, but the risk is very minimal as long as you follow the basic common-sense guidelines you find here and read BEFORE you flash anything.
Best advice? Make a backup of your EFS FOLDER BEFORE YOU DO ANY FLASHING because without it, your phone will basically be an expensive MP3 player. No calls. Nothing. You need the EFS data to use the device as a phone or make a data connection, so DON'T screw it up without a backup. Therre is a EFS Backup Tool here in the forum to do exactly that, and it works.

1) either u have already a hardware issue after a custom rom installation and u r hooked up.
2) if its a thing which is bothering u before looking to install a custom rom after rooting, then i would suggest not to mess up things but stick with your official firmware and wait for an OTA update

Thanks mate like to stick wit stock....

Okay so i rooted my gs3 and got through it but then i change my mind about it and wanted to unroot it, that is when i discovered that i couldn't get root access, so i thought "i'll just root it again properly this time" i know so stupid of me. So i found this tut on how to do it right and i used the file from shiyahkernel as listed on the site. So i rooted it in ofin abd got a green pass, but then my gs3 turned on beginning flashing the icon from shiyahkernel and won't stop doing that.
I can still access download mode and recovery mode. I am pretty much a noob so please go in to details
Can anyone help me?
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!

Note the refused warranty was by the seller .Might be worth asking Samsung if its under their warranty .
