Hi guys , im going to bring my device to warranty so i flashed the stock rom (movistar) and made zero (0 ) the flash counter.. but i need to restore my old titanium back up (until tomorrow) so if i root my phone do i am able to completely unroot it without flashing the hole rom again?
I think superuser SU has a full unroot option. Keep in mind though you will need to run TA again because rooting will trip tile flash counter.

Use framaroot to root. You can remove root via the SuperSU app.
Please post questions in q&a. Not here

Hi. Is it there a root and unroot apk for sgs ii? I.e. like gingerbreak but using psneuter as needed by our phones?
(would like an easy way to root and unroot without a pc so I can use some apps that don't like root, like "good for enterprise" email)
I did google and lots of questions but no answers.
Thank you.

I'm not sure but i don't think that there's an apk. But you could try to flash a custom-root-kernel like this:

I also think it's an very very easy way to root your device. Takes less then 5 minutes for me

Thanks. It's more switching back and forth I'm after. I am already rooted

The only way currently is to flash back to a stock ROM after root. The gingerbreak exploit was patched before release.

Hello i have no pc right now, is it possible like on the ace to root the s2 via zip file in recovery mode? Or is rooting only with pc possible?

I don`t think so. You can install/flash either with cwm (on your phone)or odin ( on your pc). To flash with cwm i guess you already need to be rooted.
so without pc i cant root and not install clockwork?

Ya same question.. Can we root without pc??? Please any solution...

Would be great to root with update.zip like on the ace. Makes a lot easier!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
You have to get a foot in the door by flashing cf-root Kernel or a rooted custom rom with Odin.
As soon as cwm is installed on your phone you can flash a lot without Odin.
Maybe you can ask a friend. Flashing a Kernel with Odin takes only seconds.

Wouldn't it be extremely dangerous being able to gain root access so easily via a simple app? Malware authors would rejoice I guess.

There is when superuser comes in

As Sammy devices can - unlike most other Android devices - just be flashed with anything (from a PC running Odin) due to nonlocked bootloaders, no one pulled the effort to look for exploits to gain root as it's simply not needed.
99.9784% chance that (as of yet) you really need a PC and Odin to root.
Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to install the AOSP SMS app without root? The touchwiz SMS app is annoying me and I'm not quite ready to start flashing new roms.

Don't believe so, since you'll need to access /system on the phone, and you need a root browser [with root permissions] to go there/ You can do the simple rooting process [literally takes less than 2 minutes] have root, stock rom with root access, then install the apk.

At the risk of being flamed, which process exactly allows root for under 2 minutes? Through Odin?
Is there a fix yet for the counter?

Don't really worried about the counter, if you rally so paranoid about it, ask how many people been refused for insurance or service from the counter, I rooted all my phones and by law they have to help you with the device, of course don't boot loop your phone by flashing something that doesn't belong to your s3(another carrier or model) I and you should be good, I have rooted over 10 devices (own devices) and had service in 4 and they never said anything, I even Sent my old evo rooted to asurion and I don't get charged for the new one they sent me

Hi,
I recently rooted my Galaxy S2 about a month ago but now want to unroot it as I have noticed it has been running a bit slower and occasionally crashing.
However I do not know how to unroot the phone, so please could someone help me. Thanks
Put it under the shower, apply some Dove strong roots shampoo, massage n rinse thoroughly. Dont forget to towel dry it in the end.

root a device can´t lead in crash, the problem may be the kernel that flashed.
try siyah ie and tell us
You can just flash a stock firmware.. also you can reset to factory settings so you can get hold of that "brand new" feel

I want to get rid of the root because the GPS has also stopped working since I rooted. Before I rooted, everything was fine.
But I don't know how to unroot the phone, so please can someone help me. Thanks
BTW, I think I did use Siyah when I rooted. I'm a noob at this so please can you explain how to do everything. Thanks

If you want to unroot your phone and go back to official rom you can go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and download the official rom for your phone and install it thru ODIN.. . after this if you want you can again unroot your phone by a safer method(odin method).

Go to www.sammobile.com download a stock firmware and flash through odin. But Im sure you can fix your problem without unrooting. What rom and kernel are you on
Ok, I've unrooted my S2 and flashed a new firmware on my device. However when I was rooted I uninstalled the voice talk. This is still uninstalled and my GPS problem is not sorted. I was thinking of installing the voice talk again and return it to Samsung to get the GPS sorted as its still under warranty.
So now I need to install the Voice talk, or is there any way of restoring the whole phone to like new so I can return to Samsung?

I don't mess with cf. Never have, it's too much work when compared to just using odin to install twrp and then flash supersu. Google twrp, get the latest one for our decide, then Google supersu-update.zip and install that with twrp.
This will break your knox warranty btw.
