Is there s way for me to unroot this phone without the usb port?
Any takers on this issue? Or should I run the battery dead.
I have a stock rom on it but its rooted. Everything looks stock but it has superuser in the apps menu.
Use rootexplorer to delete SU app. Then download the siyah kernel cwm flashable zip. Replace the zimage inside with a stock one. Transfer it to your phone using Bluetooth. Flash it in recovery.
Once you reboot, you should be unrooted and having a stock kernel.

can I get the zimage off my phone or is it on the net? Also do I just find superuser and delete it or is there a uninstall?

Which stock firmware were you using? The zimage is available inside the tar file. Extract it using winrar.
I have the same problem that i highlighted in the thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18614955#post18614955
I have been looking for the Stock Rom in a ZIP format so that i can flash it via Recovery.
Can anyone guide us on how to convert the STOCK ROM to a ZIP Format?? Android 2.3.4 version for Samsung Galaxy S2. I am sure there is a way as i have seen the zip files for other phones.
PLEASE HELP!!
EDIT: Thank you Silesh. I will try this out tonight. Many thanks.

I can make one for you. But you will have to be rooted with a insecure kernel to flash it using cwm. After flashing it, you should be as good as stock.
It's not giving me a uninstall tab. It's giving me a install tab in root explorer

Long press on the Superuser.apk and delete. You may also have to delete the su binary and busybox to remove any signs of rooting.
Ok superuser is gone. Now to figure out this flash.

No buddy. What did you exactly do to your phone to get it to the present state?
Did you flash any firmware using Odin? How did you root?
Also dial *#1234# and let me know the result.
I see the zimage in the siyah kernel cwm but I' having trouble finding a stock zimage

I flashed a kernal a while back to root and then flashed right back to stock and the root stayed. Also I dialed *#1234# and nothing happened.

I am currently rooted and on Sensation ROM 1.8 using Siyah Kernel v 2.0
I would be very grateful if you can make a zip file for XXKI3 (2.3.5) or XXKH3 (2.3.4).
Thank you very much.
I can't find out what stock firmware I have. It's the stock one that came on the phone though.
Dears,
I would like to ask how to root my Samsung SIII with stock rom. Just wish to that the mobile device is smoother, battery efficient and power saving. I read some thread and slightly understand the step, first download ODIN and install it into pc. Second, put CF-ROOT into the TAR column. Meanwhile, I also found FRANCO for kernel. So, what should I do??
The other things will be, the same stuff above can be use in Samsung galaxy SII as well?
Thanks and pending the response.

U can go back to complete stock anyway by flsshing your official firmware from sammobile.com. u will need triangle away also as your system status will still say MODIFIED.

Not sure i understand 100% but flashing cfroot will alter your binary counter, hence change device status to modified yes.

Using CF root you will still be able to get official updates through Kies no problem, u just need to run cf root again after an official update. OTA updates I dont use anyway but just to be safe dont try and install OTA updates as the usually seem to fail. If the phone notifies u of a ota update just hook up kies and get it.
If you plan to install other root kernels I cant advice as I only use cf root.
CF-Root is a stock-kernel with Root enabled, so if you want to increase "smoothness" and battery saving, then you're on the wrong kernel since it behaves exactly like stock.
I can recommend Siyah kernel. You don't even need to use CF-Root to root your device before, since it already comes with a Odin-flashable version and auto-installs root.

The same CF-ROOT can be use is Samsung Galaxy SII too?? Ya ... I understand CF-ROOT is added in CWM, SuperUser and even Titanium Backup to ur device. Meanwhile, the franco kernel is with voodoo sound system. Btw, what are those official download or OTA that you all mentioned above.

OTA means over the air..which again means you will get a notification saying you have a software update ...when you click on it will download the update file and update your phone without connecting to PC..other way is you connect to PC open Kies..download the update in Kies and update your phone..

I think it would work...just read the OP..it will state with which ROMs it works..it it says Stock then you can flash it...anyways take a nandroid backup..so you can revert back if anything goes wrong.

NO its a different phone use the correct CF root for the phone .SGS2 forum is where to start .

I think you should read more before you ruin your phone. I would start reading the cf root thread. I would root with cf first then make a nandroid backup in recovery. Then from there you can flash whatever you like i.e kernels, ROMS.

It can be a bit tempremental,but it works.Download a siyah kernel for now(say v.4 in .zip form).
Then
Boot into stock recovery.....
Run rachmats cwm.zip(which is temporary cwm).Use the touch facility to scroll.
Then run the su/busybox.zip file.
Dont reboot,then flash the siyah.zip file.
That should be you rooted (with permanent cwm)and with safe kernel.

If you can't find the 4.1.5 version of Siyah kernel, then you shouldn't be rooting your phone.
Jokes aside

Something like siyah-s2-v4.0.1-cwm.zip.
I only quoted v4 so you would know roughly which one to go for.
The main thing is to get a safe kernel with permanent cwm.
why go hungry when you can be spoon fed

Hi I hope someone on here can help me...
I recently flashed my girlfriends sgs2 (via odin pc) with the new XXLSJ jelly bean leak. Because its not 'officially' released we have to use Philz kernel, is that correct? I basically want completely stock and the update WITHOUT ROOT AND YELLOW TRIANGLE...
Is this possible?
I myself have the same phone and have custom rom based on this leak and Philz kernel, but for some reason have no triangle? ?
So, I want...
- Jelly Bean Stock rom
- No Root/Triangle.
Thanks. ..
Maybe I should have waited for the official release..

When u flashed that leaked firmware, ur phone was already in stock but with TW 5 unrooted condition.
Secondly, for that triangle problem....Use the 'triangle away' app from play store.
Also, if u want official update then for few weeks more :/
