Hi everyone, today I've obtained XXBLFB by OTA on my samsung Galaxy s3 and before I was in lf2 with CF root (last version) .
Since I've updated I don't have superuser rights anymore on some applications, and finally I want to unroot my device, but SuperUser app is still on my phone, and the phone status is : Custom .
I was okay to flash stock kernel but I don't have it, there's only roms , if I re-flash the rom will the root delete himself ?
Because I just get the rom by ota and it's still here .
Please help :laugh:

You have to root your phone again with the latest CF Root and install TrianleAway 1.51 and reset the flash counter and reset the status. After reboot go in the SU app and delete root and reboot.

if you are unrooting for waranty purpose, just unrooting and unistalling root apps are not enough, you have to flash the stock firmware through ODIN, after reseting counter with Triangle Away. Samsung service center can make out by simply booting your phone, since T-Away can not reset the status of your phone showing "modified" in the status of the phone in about phone menu,
so just follow the steps for these mentioned by Chainfire in his CF-root thread
ZACQ8 is right, just hope your up to flashing with Odin.
Here is a tutorial how i did it:
If you want to use Odin first download a stock firmware from www.sammobile/firmware, pick the rom of your country and download it.
Extract it once from .rar to md5 file.
Readup a bit, it isn`t hard but there are a few things you must know:
1. Enable usb debugging on your phone
2. Go into downloadmode (volume down + power + menu all at the same time)
3. See if IDCOM light up yellow and in the left bottom window it says added when you connect your phone to the pc.
4. Unzip the downloaded file ONCE into a .tar or md5 file if you haven`t
5. Place that file in the PDA section.
6. Do not tick anything, only f.reset.time and autoreboot should be ticked.
7. Start
8. Rebooting automaticly.
Close Kies, also everthing Kies related in task manager before flashing!

I don't really understand, (i'm french) will I be able to totally delete root on my s3 or not ?
Chainfire website won't work
Before with my galaxy s2, event it was root in every firmware, I've reflash a stock firmware and warranty worked, impossible for S3 ?
and, btw I don't have any triangle or other thing, I just have flash counter
edit : finally i'll do that :
"- Use Triangle Away to reset the flash counters, and pull the battery immediately after rebooting starts
- Boot into recovery and perform a wipe, and pull the battery immediately after rebooting starts
- Go to SamMobile and get the stock firmware for your region
- Flash that stock firmware on your device
- Let Android boot, go through device setup (without doing any logins) until Android is fully usable again
- Reboot
- Wait at least 10 minutes
- Check Settings->About device->Status and make sure Device status is not "Modified"
- Perform another factory reset
- Boot into download mode and make sure the flash counter and system status are all set to official"
Thanks

Dude, as you told before, when you updated through OTA XXLF2 to XXLBFB your root access already desabled, your phone is no more rooted now,
tell me what you really want now, do you want to root your phone again???
EDIT : yes you have to follow the above steps to get a fully factory fresh phone...
I had to re-root because I need to use triangle away, but I want to clean my phone ,no more root, I will follow the step below
Thanks !
In fact: I tought it was impossible to get back my warranty
Thanks for all ! :good:

With wipe I lose usb storage too (internal) ,it's not like my galaxy s2 before but anyway , now status is "Normal"
Bascially got my galaxy S2 I9100 a few weeks ago , i am pretty familiar with android and know my way about , so the first thing i did was root stock ROM with Cf Root then the second thing i did was flash the Siyah Kernel via odin then dual booted a few roms such as RR or Paranoid Android. As the Siyah kernel enables dual boot i kept my stock 4.0.3 but replaced the launcher with the touchwhiz ux launcher found on the galaxy s3. Since i have flashed various roms and also removed them ect. I have been seeing on XDA that alot of people sent their galaxy s2 to warranty and it didnt get fixed as the "download counter" showed that custom software had been obtained and flashed within the device & that one way to fix it was by downloading well known developer chainfires "Triangle Away" apk in order to remove the triangle at boot as well as reseting the download counter to 0. i am just confused as this is what i done get.
-Say i send my device for warranty and i have restored stock ics GS2 rom kernel and so on will they be able to tell without me using chainfires
"triangle away app?"
-If somehow i encounter a "softbrick" or "hardbrick" could i just buy a usb jig enter download mode, plug it in, restore counter to 0 then flash stock ics & kernel for GS2 via odin & get it fixed free by warranty?
thank alot

u could just root ur phone, install triangle away, run it, and all set.
uninstall any app that indicates that ur phone is rooted and there. also u could flash an unrooted kernel too.
when i had to live my phone at service i did this:
-used triangle away
-factory resets
-wipe dalvik and cache
-flashed via ODIN stock ICS rom
-give it to service!

He simple said:
When you are on a custom rom or rooted rom, use triangle away to reset the counter.
Then do a factory reset and wipe cache/dalvik cache by using custom recovery mode. (you are still rooted)
Then flash an official stock kernel via odin (it will not increase the counter)
The counter will say no and binary official and you have unrooted new firmware
with no way to know you messed around with it. Warranty reclaimed!!

hi i got a 16GB I9300 rooted with CF-Auto Root.
How can i unroot it completely so that kies updates work again?
i got the stock rom i want.
i think if i flash it over the rooted rom, the cfroot files wont be deleted and so the status will still be modified nd kies wont work, what are the correct steps so is factory state?

Reset the flash counter with Triangle Away, flash the stock rom with Odin and perform a data/factory reset after reboot in settings/backup and restore. Now you can update with Kies/OTA and status will say NORMAL.

Hello Devs
This is a quiestion Type thread to share ideas and solutions to Unroot Galaxy S2 Plus I9105/P.
I have tried odin to flash stock firmware for unrooting but odin failed to do so.
Errors When i select PDA(.md5) File downloaded from samsung-updates.com>>Incorrect Parameters
When I Select .tar file by removing md5 extension.>>Odin communicator has stopped working.
Note that i used triangle away to reset bin counter but after that using above method I am unable to restore to factory version.
Thanx
Have you tried to unroot in superuser app? Go to settings and press unroot
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S II Plus I9105P
ROM: Babba ROM
unrooted but stock recovery cant appear
i want to remove cwm and put stock recovery.
Ok. Then I don't know what to do. Maybe there is some same kind of topics for other devices.
Unrooting is easy.
The link below is a unrooting file, just flash it in recovery via CWM recovery. Then it will automatically uninstall busybox and superuser. If it doesn't work or are there any questions you want to ask, feel free to leave a question or PM me.

I don't think your warranty will come back since you have already rooted it and the warranty is gone already. But either way, congratulations on your success.
Derp.
You can just download the stock firmware and flash it via Odin...
