Flash stock firmware with Odin, and your root will disappear.

My Goal: set everything back to stock for warranty. (charging system is *%$#ed)
my problem: I am stuck at the unrooting part.
I have read everything I can over and over and yet I still find myself in a predicament. I have restored everything back to stock (I rooted and unlocked my SGS2, but I never used a custom ROM).
I have relocked the device, I have reset everything back to stock. I used the jig to reset the flash counter. I re flashed my secure kernel. Everything checks out, except my Superuser access.
Now here is the part where I am stuck. So essentially from what I read I have 3 options that I can recall:
1 - just re flash my stock ROM to remove root (seems pointless as I have never had to flash a ROM, seeing as I am still on my stock ROM)
2 - unroot using SOC (which failed to work, stuck on step 6)
3 - use Samsung Kies to update. (this also failed, won't detect my phone, and yes it is in Kies mode, no debug)
I am at a loss. I am on the Bell network in Canada, and I am on UGKG2 firmware.
Please let me know if you need more information. Also, I apologize if the answer is in one of the threads. I have been reading everything whenever I can, and just can't figure this one out. thanks for your patience in advance

you have to flash an original firmware if you want to get rid of root and cwm.

Is there a way you can tell that your phone isn't rooted anymore?

Well, there is a market app (rootcheck) but it's easy to check yourself, if you dont have superuser in your app drawer you are not rooted.
Let's say, you dont have superuser app and you cannot access cwm recovery = you are not rooted
If I may ask, why exactly is it that you cannot unroot without flashing an original firmware? Why does SOC even give you the option if it doesn't work? Thanks for the timely replies though

soc does work but a lot of people screw up 3 Simple steps and end up with a semi bricked phone.
Flash a stock firmware is probably the more "safe" system. Also allows you to flash latest version that some countries will never receive or receive very late.
Sry my English sux even more today lol

Ok... So let's troubleshoot why I can't get the unroot to work for SOC... I have tried both in and out of download mode. Debugging on and debugging off. Yet the unroot stops at step 6 and does nothing...

I read in another post it is as simple as removing superuser.apk and the su folder on system...

I just flashed the stock rom back. Seems to look quite 100% like it did when it came in the box. Jigged to kill flash counter. I think I am set to send it in Thanks a lot guys.
Following that, looks like for root you just need to download superuser app from market and you are good to go....
Its not so easy as you know.
Removing the superuser apk just removes the superuse app, but then you end up with a semi rooted phone with cwm recovery (that you dont want if you want to go back to stock)

Good im glad you managed to "restock" the phone as you see it is fast and easy with flash of a stock rom
Can a rooted phone be unrooted and rooted again? i was told that my phone needed to go back to stock in order to be flash for another carrier. But the phone cannot be rooted again. Looking for more information.

Hello,
My cousine has this phone. So he was using his phone doing his every day routine with facbook and whatsapp then a message appeared saying: supersu granted access to blablabl, and the phone restarted. He turned it on again this message appeared and the phone restarted. I told him hard reset the phone, he did that and now the phone is working, but phone tells that the system is modified so there is no update available.
The funny thing is that my cousine dont know what is root end etc...
Is it possible that a virus from pc can do such a thing? Root the phone and deploy a script which got run after each start?
How can we remove the root? Because because of root his warranty is void now

After he did a factory reset I told him to check for supersu or superuser app on his phone, then he told me the app called superuser was installed on his phone when he bought it.
He bought it from provider T-mobile. I guess someone bought his phone before him, rooted it, and then later this someone asked for a full refund and later this phone was sold to my cousine as a brand new one.

If you want to to unroot the phone, you can do this with TriangleAway.
Download and install the app. Just follow the instructions. After you have reset the counter to 0 and the status to normal, you should flash the original firmware again.
After you have followed all this steps, it shouldn't appear as custom anymore and your cousin should be able to get updates again. And his warranty will be restored.

Nope. Triangleaway does not unroot the phone. It only resets the counter. And it does not change it to normal for status. The phone checks for root everytime it boots, if it is rooted. It will be custom.

Yes, but after installing the original firmware again, the phone will be unrooted. In included this step too in my description.
But you're right, you don't have to reset the status with TriangleAway, I was confusing something.
What you can do with TriangleAway is reset the status to normal temporarily. At least I think, I was able to do that.

Ur steps are also not viable as when u flash stock firmware thru odin, the flash counter still increase. And after tat to use triangle away, u still nid root.

It's already rooted the best thing to do is enjoy your android freedom.
You can unroot, revert to stock and reset binary if needed, all you need to do is search and follow the procedure.

I'm actually pretty sure that flashing stock firmware doesn't increase the flash counter.

As far as I know, the flash counter only increases when you flash a custom firmware/recovery/kernel.
But when you flash a stock firmware through Odin, the flash counter shouldn't increase.
Thank for all of your respons. I told my cousine what he can do with root and everithing about custom roms, so now he is running a cm rom
