Sorry for asking a noob question, but I just wanna get things clear.
Currently my SGS2 is rooted (just rooted) and is on the stock rom. We all know ICS for SGS2 will be released pretty soon so, once I have updated my phone to the new ICS, will my phone be unrooted ?
Also will I be able to OTA update while rooted?
Thanks for the help

Unless the ICS ROM you install is pre-rooted, in all likelihood, yes, you will lose root.

I'm not sure OTA is even implemented... but if you're just rooted, that shouldn't affect your ability to use OTA if it's there.
Thanks for quick reply.
One more question, once if I've updated to ICS, i do have to wait for the new files before the ICS can be rooted right? I just can't use the same files and method that I used before to get my phone rooted? Correct me if I'm wrong

Yes - do NOT use the same files and method. At best, it just won't work. At worst, you will cause huge issues with your phone.
If you are talking about updating via Kies then yes you will loose root.Also OTA.To re-root you can use the CF-Root method as before as long as you match the root kernel with your stock kernel.OTA updates work if you are rooted but dont work if you have a custom ROM installed.

I know that official ICS will be released next month but I want to try it now. I'm thinkin of flashin the latest leaked rom for ICS but just one question, if flash it through RomManager will my 'root' disappear?

Flashing any new firmware, unless that new firmware comes rooted, yes, you will lose root. And though it's your choice to try a leaked ICS, just be aware - anything out at this point, as stated is a LEAK. (i.e. NO guarantees as to stability)
I for one, do not plan on going anywhere near an ICS ROM until official ICS is released by Samsung somewhere, for a ROM chef to use as a base.
thanks for the response. Currently, I'm pretty bored with my current stock rom and would like to try something new even for just a month or so. Would you recommend me a stable rom or a rom that you personally use or the one that you are using right now ?

Stable for one person is not stable for another. Only way to know for you is to back your phone up and try yourself.
That said, I'm on stock KI3, with some modding done myself. No themes, though. I don't need all that flash.
Love your well explained answers. Once again thanks for you help

I think the easiest way to keep root is to use Mobile Odin with EverRoot option enabled. This will root the phone during the flashing.
So I was on the latest MIUI, and flashed Dream Kernel. That went fine, I rebooted, then tried to flash CM 9.0.1 via CWM, and the phone shut off, but never booted back up. Now it won't boot at all, in any mode. It doesn't respond when I put it on the charger either. The screen dimly flashes occasionally if it's getting power from the charger or the battery.
Any ideas? :x
Have you tried plugging the phone into the charger without the battery, then put the battery in a bit later?
If this makes boo sense.... It's the lime a Rita telling.

Well I had a similar issue sometime ago with my phone. What I did was plugged phone to PC an flashed stock ROM Via Odin. It worked for me twice Odin was still able to connect to What I 777. Found stock ROM in the general forms in Xda after I did that connected to Kies an Installed official ROM for I777. Took some time but I recovered phone twice hope it work for U too..

You said the phone shut off after u tried installing the latest cm9. But never booted back up. That tells me you tried to.install it using rom manager app. Which everyone here knows not to use. At least that's what it sounds like. If I'm wrong, then we'll need a bit more information from u. Exact steps on what u did and if u downloaded the correct cm9 for our phones etc.

Mmk, I'm back on stock and everything is gravy, thanks for the help guys. I'm going to try and flash AOKP, but I'm having trouble finding a good download for CWM. Anyone have one? I just want a CWM that works correctly. Not trusting ROM manager anymore.

I appreciate your positive attitude and that this whole thread u have been nice and respectful. So ill fill ya in bud our phones aren't like most. Our kernels come with the recovery built into it. (CWM). So whenever u flash a kernel, you're also flashing a recovery too.

After doing a ton of searches here and finding a bunch of confusing posts and the threads and files I found were all for stock GB and kept soft bricking my phone I went to "the cloud"! I finally found a site with the correct file and now I am back to stock and running schmoove as silk.
Anyway, should you want/need to restore your Note to stock/unrooted state, for whatever reason, here is a link to the file:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13678253/StockROMs.net-SGH-I717D_Telus_1_20120630122852_xxzc97o421.zip
Just download the file, unzip it, put your phone in "download" mode, connect your phone to your pc, open ODIN, once your device is detected select "PDA", find the .tar file you extracted from the zip file, click "start" and that's it. Once its finished your phone should reboot and you are all set.
It will add to your counter but, you can reset that before you restore to stock if you follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569206 but do so at your own risk! I have flashed the file and it works but that was me and I cannot vouch for you or your ability to follow directions
Hope this helps
Cheers!

Will this return the note to the Telus stock gingerbread rom (as the phone comes when you buy it)? My brother has been looking for this for a long time and if so this would be really helpful.

If he is on a gingerbread rom now then you should be able to follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483113
But, if it is on ICS then you need to get the phone back to GB before you can use that method.

No root, no problem.
I'd run it for a while on stock unrooted
And see if you are still having the same problems.
From there I would ree download the Odin file to start fresh

It was said earlier, man. If you Odin back to stock, it brings the phone to an Unrooted, completely stock state. It's as if you just turned it on for the first time in the Verizon store.

Aha. So if i'm rooted on NH5, with custom recovery, i can flash this stock tar to get back to unrooted NH5 with stock recovery ? The other stock tars would fail in Odin because they do not have the NH5 firmware, and Samsung made it so Odin will not flash previous firmwares if i've already flashed a newer firmware? Is that correct ?

Hello. Flashing this with Odin will return to stock for Samsung warranty without tripping Knox correct? My Knox is still 0x0 but I deleted/moved some system apps while rooted is like to restore before sending for warranty.
Thanks Bud
