Hi all,
I am needing to return to stock as my phone needs to be repaired.
I have tried to return it back to stock by either using the the toolkit or manually, the only thing i cant get back to normal is the counter, it always stays at one.
I ran triangle away, which took it back down to one, removed root, loaded stock recovery and flashed a stock rom for my phone and then factory reset, the custom binary and system status is official but flash counter stays at 1.
Any advise what im doing wrong?

Flash stock via Odin
Root with CF-Auto root
Run triangle away
Go to super su app and under options select unroot
Factory reset.
Done!

make sure you have stock recovery and kernel
Hey I'm running paranoid android 3.15, and siyah kernel, which allows dual booting (or I forgot what it's called, I guess it's close enough) and I would like very much to also have a touchwiz rom, and the stock one was gorgeous, and hardly had any problems, I would like to know how to get both roms on my phone (I know how it works, no need to explain that) but after some research I couldn't find a suitable answer, so here I am!
Thank you in advance for your time and answers!

If you flashed a stock ROM with Odin and haven't flashed any kernels then your on a stock kernel... From the info you have posted I'd say it is a stock kernel

I'm also trying to return to stock, I'm dual booting paranoid Android 3.15 and wanam lite and I was wondering if I would lose all my app data, text messages and what not if I unroot and flash stock rom
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
App data yes. Unless you use titanium backup and reroot.
Sms backup from the playstore can back up and restore your sms no problem.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
yes, you will. back the data up. Carbon backup (renamed to Helium) can manage app backups without root
Thank you very much for such a quick reply!
This phone is the very first I root, so I am very afraid to brick it, so sorry to bother you guys but last thing I want is a f*****d phone because I didn't bother to ask a question. Do I need to deactivate dual boot before starting the wo=hole process or is it irrelevant, also the tutorials given above work fine on my phone right?
if you flash a stock rom it will also give you a stock kernel.
Read, then read again if unsure.

Hi! I attempted to root my S2 via a method I found here whereby I flash an insecure kernel then root using S2 root. I followed the guide to the T and still my phone is only ''partially rooted'' according to rootchecker and no root apps could be granted su access.
I am running ICS 4.0.3, Baseband Version XXLPS.
What should I do next or should I accept defeat and leave this phone unrooted? What could I have done wrong?
Thanks in advance for reading.

flash the latest siyah kernel v3.4.1 either from ur recovery (use siyah .zip file) or thro Odin ( use siyah .tar file) and then see

Either I am an uber noob or there is something wrong!
I downloaded the Siyah 3.4.1.tar kernel from gokhanmoral and flashed via odin and the phone sat at the boot screen with the little yellow triangle on it. I left the phone on and running like that for 10minutes.
I flashed my insecure kernel back on from last time (the one I used when trying to root using s2root) and it is fine again.
Anywho I am back to square one! -.-

ok buddy follow this steps to reroot ur phone in a proper manner.
1) Dwnld the official ICS firmware(4.0.3) and flash thro odin
link Here
2) after that please dwnld the Matching Cf- root kernel and flash thro' ODIN
link Here
ur phone will be rooted properly and should wrk fine
ps- read the OP of both the threads carefully and follow the instructions over there to root ur phone successfully
If you only need proper root, no custom or insecure kernels and no yellow triangle, look at the guide in my signature. Worth the try

Hi. I have rooted my S3, to see how it works with PS3 joystick (i am not too impressed)
I have rooted successfully via odin flash guide, but now i get strange problem.
Every now and then, when i want to turn on dispay, it works and show me that clock and then when i swipe to unluck, the phone doesnt respond.
When i power again, display dimms, and nothing happen. I cant unlock my phone, I need to hold power button to reboot, and than it is normal till i lock the screen and want to turn it on again.
My question is, how can i solve it, and if i can't, how can i get everything back to stock and normal?
Try turn off ripple effect in setting, see how it goes.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
First of all, try disabling lockscreen entirely.
Then try performing a full wipe. If nothing changes, flash stock firmware via Odin. If this haven't helped, root your phone, reset bootloader flashing counter via TriangleAway, then flash full stock firmware and make a warranty claim.

As i thought, now, without changing anything, the problem goes away. But i think it will came back
I forgot one big thing!
!!!! When i first flashed PDA, i flashed it with something CF, not insecure kernel (MY FAULT). Then i got this problem but i can say that i couldnt use my phone. Only just after reboot. Then i flashed insecure kernel, al now problem is still here but it is not so often, but i must fix this.
So maybe the problem is because i flashed wrong file, so "bad" files are still here?
Is there an easy fix for this?

But if i update is a major update now yeah? I mean is one year i dont update it...

Hi, if you are doing OTA it will be 4.2.2 or 4.2.3 at best, you will loose root, but not files or data.
Some apps may stop working or work differently, nothing to worry about.
Thanks and hows that? Major improvements? Something always weird with this one was the greenish tint when shooting with the flash... Is that fixed?
And there is a new chainfire's root out there i guess....

Just want to say this isn't correct. Don't know if it's mistyped or something else, but it should be 4.1.2 'at best'.
Last official (thus OTA available) update for S2 will be 4.1.2. Sad as it is, for today's standards it is still acceptable.
what do you guys think about the 4.3 like sentinel rom?

The OTA will probably fail.....the OTA package looks for a stock setup, and if you've modified that setup in any way (custom kernel) the OTA won't install.....even if it *didn't* fail, the kernel would be overwritten and you'd lose root.
If it were me, I'd make use of chainfires mobile odin, download a jb firmware from sammobile and update that way......

Did you enable the 'ever root' option in mobile Odin?
If not, you'll have to root the phone afterwards (if you want to)

Yeah....I guess that's 'project butter' or whatever it's called....it's supposed to give an overall smoother performance........
If you are going to stay with stock, my advice would be to 'de bloat' it.....I used Titanium Backup to freeze the bloat first, then delete it after I'd found out that it wasn't needed/critical for the phone to run.......
