Greetings XDA,
Lets say a Galaxy S II was rooted and then deleted some files from the system and edited some others. Then that Galaxy S II started malfunctioning and be useless.
How can you remove rooting and everything get back to original [ meaning like never rooted or edited files ] ?
Don't get upset i am a noob indeed and maybe annoying but i am a lawyer and i only play with papers. I gave this colleague of me my phone because he wanted to "see" something, at least that's what he said, and i went to the meeting, then he ran to find me and told me he messed it a little bit.
Can it be restored?
Will flashing firmware unroot the device and restore files back to stock?
Thanks anyone who answers or even view the thread.
Find your original firmware in intratechs thread and flash it through odin

You're sparse with info, like most lawyers..
If you can boot into download mode, do so and flash a stock ROM via Odin. System files will be restored but you'll lose root. If that goes well then you can re-root
Then you should boot your colleague in testicle mode.

My colleague still tries to find info on internet on how to restore it and keeps saying how sorry he is. Why do i need to reroot? I don't want to be rooted.
Does it need to be rooted? Because he rooted it i never wanted that.
Will doing so bring up all manipulated files?
A lawyer doesn't lie, just manipulates truth and info

You could download CheckFus to your PC and it will find the correct firmware and I think download it too.. A bit sparse on the details as I have never used it but heard good things about it

Don't panic
I can't seem to log on to Samfirmware at the moment, don't know why, so I can't check the available firmwares or your link.
Is there a BOKK1 firmware for Cosmote there? If so, that's the one you want.
If not, is your phone locked to Cosmote?

its not logged..cosmote is from greece, but we try to import as many things we can so my country helps them. i am from cyprus as well. its not locked to Cosmote.
Please check the picture i will reupload to tell me what is it... if its bokk1 for sure...
If you're not locked, any Cosmote firmware should be fine.
For one last check, dial *#1234# on your phone and post what it says for PDA, Phone and CSC.
I accept, i messed up here... Have a AT&T Galaxy SII, rooted and decided to install a new ICS ROM... Went into CWM and backed up existing ROM, then installed new ROM.
Now I do not get any Voice on calls or via speaker... I tried restoring the backup from CWM and NO luck....
Can anyone please help... how do I fix this issue so I can make and recv calls.
Thank You
This is the I9100 forum, nothing to do with your phone.

Same happened to me. Install a UCKH7 modem.
So yer telling him to flash a modem that wont fix his problem, which is the voice calls? Did u see he flashed an ics rom?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
These threads should be closed immediately just on general principle.
Any rom that removes voice is best characterizd as a downgrade, not upgrade.
The only ics Roms that work on our phone is in the ported development threads. Other than that, read read read. Good luck.

I have been searching and reading and cannot find the answer to this problem. If someone could please point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. I would not consider myself a "noob" as I have flashed 50ish roms on 4 different phones (total). This problem is driving me crazy. Please share your helpful input rather than trolling back.

If i use cf root to root my galaxy s3 i9300 will i be able to flash a custom rom? It says that the cf root was intended to be used with stock firmware in the main thread. Also how safe is it? If i follow the steps exactly as instructed what are the chances the phone will brick?

Yes you will.
It means it is meant to be used to root a stock Rom, after that you can do what you like. Cf root is extremely safe if you follow the instructions, which are very simple. If you do that you won't brick your phone

Thanks for your quick reply. I have one more question though. Does it matter that my phone is locked and carrier branded? I always thought it had to be fully unlocked and unbranded to root and stuff. Thanks!

No, you only need to unlock if you want to use a different network, won't affect it otherwise
My question is after rooting and not changing anything else will you still be able to get the updates. I remember with the bionic I cou ld but not with the tbolt.
are you carrier branded as in US Carrier branded or something else?
If you're talking about a US Carrier branded phone, then you're in the wrong place. This is specifically for the i9300, not any other version. There are appropriate forums for your specific phone.
If you do have the i9300, then do as slaphead says. you're all set.

Oopsie daisy.... I could've sworn I read the whole thread from start to end.. Not sure how I missed that..
I think the word "carrier branded" set of red flags in my head since I was only recently reading about someone who tried to flash an i9300 rom with their sprint s3.
just wanted to make sure and not have to see another brick.

My galaxy S2 is dropping network signals. Where my S1 shows 4 signal-bars, S2 shows 1 or 0 bars for the same network. But when I start using my phone, it goes till 3 or even 4 bars. In sleep mode it doesn't catch any signals. That mean I cannot receive any calls/sms when my phone is locked.
When I take out my phone and unlock and start using it, it suddenly get a few signals and starts receiving pending sms.
I heard somewhere it could be a problem with my custom ROM. So, I've upgraded to Stock ROM version 4.0.4. But the problem is still there. Can anyone please help me fix this issue?
Thanks

Sorry for having very basic knowledge of Android. By changing kernel do you mean to try flashing some other ROM?
Previously I downloaded the ROM from: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9100&pcode=OXA&os=1&type=1#firmware (I downloaded CSC: I9100OXALQB)
If you mean to change the ROM, can you please suggest me any other ROM?

The forum is useful. People helping you out aren't doing it for any commercial gain. They look around in their free time and help you solving your problems.
He said you may need to change your modem. Not your ROM. The best modem for you generally depends on your region. So search this forum for a thread detailing the modems for various regions, download the relevant one and flash it.

I did that comment because I've posted two problems and got no response. It seems no one looks at the questions at all.
I am not sure what you mean by modem. I bought this phone from KSA and I flashed a Poland ROM into it.
Do you think that would have changed the modem?
Yes it would have changed the modem. There is a modem thread here on XDA, find it and use Odin to flash them.

OK, can you please let me know how would I know that which ROM will suit my phone?
Do I have to keep flashing ROMs and see the results? Or is there some code in the ROM filename that can tell me that the ROM is good for the phones released in KSA ?

Just flash the modem no need to install an entire rom just for signal issue as far as "suit my phone" u have to try different roms for that i suggest you should read a few threads on the site
I tried flashing Poland, UAE and PAK ROMs. But nothing worked. I still have the worst signal strength
I have my SGS2 rooted and now I'm looking to play around with ROMs. Now, I have a couple of noob questions regarding ROMs.
1. Is there any association between how I rooted the phone and a ROM?
2. Can I use another cell provider's stock ROM ? (e.g. e.x. have a Virgin stock ROM, want to use Vodafone)
3. I would like to add the hebrew language to my phone, so I would be able view everything in that language, would I have to install a ROM or would I be able to find an app for that?
Thanks for your patience with noobs like me
Cheers!
