Any help? my provider is T-mobile, If someone can support me in providing me these files, I would be really grateful.
Just download the stock Rom and take it from there. I am no longer on stock so I can't be of assistance, I'm sure the whitehawkx version still had the apk

I take it you haven't flashed anything yet? A stock rom would be something like the one redrum posted. It's not completely stock though, for that I would have to use Odin and just restore it back to factory settings. I highly recommend you google the basics to this though. There's a lot that goes into these roms and a lot that can go wrong. Before you do anything make sure you read up on it and completely understand the process or you can end up with an expensive paperweight. Use the same rule as a carpenter would (measure twice, cut once) but with reading the steps do doing anything on these phones

Yeap. Done. Had issues with Modern Combat 3 lagging in Singleplayer. Hmm, btw, any guides to unroot? Just in case I needa claim warranty
Good man
If you ever need to unroot, in case you have to send the phone in for warranty service or whatever, find your firmware in this thread or if you can't find anything specific to your carrier use the most recent one for your country from here and flash in Odin.
Do a factory reset just to make sure there's no apps laying around on the phone that might tip off whomever repairs it (Samsung) that you've been running non-official firmware on it, and get a jig from eBay to reset the flash counter (do a search for "Samsung Galaxy S2 jig", costs a couple of bucks).
Not sure about the MW thing as I've never played it, hopefully someone else might come along and offer a hand (Maybe change the title of your thread ?).

If theres any award for XDA's most helpful member, think you deserve it. Thanl you so muchhhhh. Really appreciate it
Awwww You're much too kind.
No worries, as long as you read up & follow the instructions for flashing a rom/kernel you should be able to handle things just fine, and given you nailed the CF Root thing first go without any dramas (which is a pretty fair effort, a lot of people who post here seem to have problems with it ), I'm sure you'll ace anything you have a go at

But erm, its still rooted
Flash the kernel on it's own. Hard to say why the kernel didn't take when you flashed the full firmware.

flashed the tar.md5 file. Am i suppose to remove the .md5 and change it to tar?
No. Don't have to remove the md5 bit. If you've tried flashing the kernel on its own in the PDA section of Odin as per my last post, try re-flashing the entire rom.

You downloaded & flashed the "official" firmware as per your post on the first page, didn't you ? If you've already tried flashing the stock kernel as I'd suggested & that didn't unroot your phone, try flashing the whole stock package you downloaded again.

Ok, im on stock rom. What I did was to flash the kernel for root. Firmware wasnt touched. So, erm I have to reflash the entire rom. Any links I can refer to? I'm from Southeast Asia - Singapore
I gave you the links to official firmware on the first page. Yes. I told you how to unroot the phone on the first page with those links :-| I'm not going to tell you which firmware to flash, you should be able to work that one out yourself given you mentioned your original firmware on page one as well.
Hi, I will be getting this phone today (i9100 unlocked) and have a couple of questions on how to proceed onwards. Any help would be greatly appreciated
1. What is the best firmware and rooted kernel for me to go on?
I want the absolute simpilest way to root my phone (total beginner) and I don't know what firmware I will have when I receive it, I also don't know if I should stay on a gingerbread firmware or go to ics? I also don't care if it is official or custom as long as I'm not sacraficing stability. If possible I would like a rom that is good for battery life. I also want to root my phone in the safest way. There are so many tutorials I didn't know where to start
2. What are some of the essential rooted apps and how do you install them? Through superuser or market?
3. What are the risks involved with a standard flashing/root because I'm getting my phone second hand I don't have warranty.
Thanks for all your help!
Edit: I just say a sticky saying not to ask what roms are the best so I'm sorry if I broke a rule. I just literally have no idea where to start, I've never even used android before. I've found so many methods of rooting and roms but most seem outdated. I would just like someone to point me in the right direction of the up to date way. Sorry if I'm really not supposed to ask!

Superuser is not used to install apps, you would either download them from the market or manually install the .apks

Rooting your phone would void the warranty anyway and bricking is probably your biggest risk.

Yes. There are dozens, if all you wanted me to do was provide a link to a more comprehensive guide, why don't you just learn how to use Google for yourself?

Believe me, I tried, but there are so many options, also, I've now decided to opt for a locked virgin i9100 bcause it was 50 bucks more for a new phone with the warranty, so what's the best way to unlock one? I think I recall a free app.
As i asked, anyone could give me any advices? Just all causes of the bricks? I read,the forum as well as i can, there are many many many topics, but i dont want to make a stupid mistake ... thank u in advance guys and gerlz

Well, just follow the exact instructions the developers give when you flash something And always make a Nandroid back up first.
Furthermore: check for which phone models the roms etc. are (I9100 or anything else you have), to avoid flashing something bad.
If you're afraid for the eMMC brickbug: read the threads that are made for it for info about that.
Sent from the Matrix
The emmc brick bug only happens on stock kernel when wipe data is selected just flash any other kernel before doing anything else and then your safe. Don't flash a ROM for any other phone including the i9100G double check before flash the file name is usually .............i9100
Honestly ? Don't flash anything in the first place. Leave your phone stock & enjoy using it.
If the thought of breaking it frightens you, leave it alone.
Nandriod backup can't save you from hard brick. RTFM (or thread) is the only safe path if you can't stop the hacking itch, and don't be a hero to be the first one to try something new like leaked ROM. Good luck.

I have rooted my phone with fake recovery, i want to install a speedmod kernel. I have stock recovery. Is it needed to install manually cwm first?? @Hardcore is writing that cwm is included, but im not sure that its written into this kernel or i need to download the cwm too, but where? There is no link in the topic So all i need to flash the kernel through the stock recovery and i'll got cwm and speedmod and done or download cwm from somewhere first and flash kernel through the cwm?

First of all let me say I'm sorry to even have to post this. I've looked and I'm sure this question has been posted a million times. But a lot of it just looks like Greek to me.
I recently bought a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 and found later that evening that it was rooted.
It's running Hyperdrive and the latest version. Also has a TeamWin screen.
I'd really like to unroot it and return it back to bone stock. But I haven't had any luck finding the firmware or instructions on how to do so that a new guy could totally understand.
If someone could give me a step by step and where I can find the stock firmware, I'd be forever grateful.
Thank you for reading this and I hope you all have a great day!

I figured it would have removed the root access and the TWRP recovery and leave it in a mostly stock state.

My S4 got basically fried today by the charger, but I need to restore it to stock so that they can't claim BS when I take it in for warranty.
I tried search to no avail, what is the newest STOCK ODIN TAR image to restore the S4 like it came out of the box?
Thanks

The thread I linked has all of the information you need. Do the full wipe option and your phone will be sparkling clean and unrooted.
Not to be nasty, but there's at least four threads on page one of this forum that ask the same basic question.
