For anyone reading, I got the root so listen to that guy he knows what he is talking about

Samsung has their own recovery on all galaxy device. So you don't need root to boot to it
To boot to recovery,
-Off your phone,
-Hold Volume up + home button + power button together
-Remove your hands from those buttons when your phone lights up.
I'm sure all this info is in that thread.
Read carefully and be a little patience

If you need to claim warranty, you will just flash back your original firmware. It takes less than 10 minutes.
Now, you need to remove yellow triangle and reset binary counter after you are rooted.

Hello, my first post here. In february I modified my phone (swedish) and it has all been working ok up until yesterday. Well actually for the last couple of weeks the battery has started running hot and draining fast. But yesterday the sim disappeared and I can get no connection, it even gets stuck when I put it in flight mode.
So I figured I should update things in the best way, but how to go about it. I used guides to get it done last time but I have forgotten most of that and I would be very grateful for help to proceed. I need a stable system only, no clocking etc.
Greetings/ Roger

if ur rooting ur phone and trying to install a custom rom then there is no point in updating to the latest stock version
if u want to continue with stock, then its good to update it to the latest version
To clarify, I see a 4.0.4 for nordic countries at the same place where the 4.0.3 was. So would it be safe to upgrade it to 4.0.4 using Odin?Or is 4.0.4 a whole different matter? Cheers

Im getting bored on being on stock after trying my old SGS on Jellybean now.. It feels faster than my GSII that has 2 CORES! 1,2 ghz. Incredible what developers can do it's simply amazing.
One thing im getting really tired off and irritated is the sound when your battery is low
DY DY real loud im like SHUTUP before i throw you in the wall.
And can't even use the camera when low battery without 3rd party app.
Can i unroot the phone? So it gets exactly like before if i regret or phone breaks and warranty **** or something ( TEST OFFICIAL 4.1) I
And i heard if you upgraded to 4.0.4 and root it was dangerous and you couldn't get life on the phone just because you wiped data etc. even a USB Jig couldnt help. And a triangle were somewhere hmm.
Is it hard to unroot?
Is it worth rooting if im going to unroot to test official 4.1?
Sorry for swearing but i had a ******* bad day.. =)

Yes, but because you are on Samsung's 4.0.4 firmware, I'll advise you to flash either Speedmod kernel or Siyah kernel via Odin.

Are you going to sell your gs2 or are you keeping it?

Dont let him worry you, the firmware itself is fine. The issue was a bug in kernel that was causing bricks after wiping data via recovery.
You simply flash a custom kernel like Siyah after flashing rom to get rid of problem.
Plenty of topics on how to root/flash roms.
Ok, is it just of flash the siyah tar and im rooted? was harder on S1
Will i have the triangle problem?
And which ODIN version do i need, where can i download it? Thanks for the help :fingers-crossed:

1. If you flash Siyah or Speedmod kernel .tar, you are rooted
2. You will have yellow triangle but you can remove it with Triangle away app by Chainfire:

So all i have to do is:
Put phone to download mode. open odin connect usb:
Put in SIYAH tar in PDA and im rooted? Just like that? You don't think i'll brick it? I must not flash CF-ROOT before i flash Siyah?
And must i delete the triangle? What happens if not?

Yes. You are rooted just like that.
You don't need to flash CF-ROOT kernel.

Nothing bad will happen but if your phone is still under warranty, then I'll advise you to remove.
Actually, there is no reason for you not to remove it, since there is an application that can do that for you.

Why not i mean isnt the warranty already gone if rooted &/ flashed rom?
What application?

If you want to claim warranty, you just flash your original firmware via Odin.

Check post 14. I already posted the link to you
