Just saw the news on Skyrocket and will be returning my GS2 before the 30 days. I can always buy it again if Skyrocket isn't all that.
I'm rooted and running UnNamed ROM so how can I go back to stock?
Thanks for the help. I'm sure theres a couple other people on the same boat

Go to the development forum and look under the stickies. It's one of the first posts on kernals, etc. I would recommend you find this information out before you root your device.

LOL, that does not include root. IF they choose to look and find it rooted, your warranty is void. That also means so is the return policy.

OK, so you trust the guy at your AT&T store. However, read the agreement you have with the company. Then, when the phone goes to the service center, and they determine that you voided the warranty, you will receive a charge on your bill for the full retail value of the phone. This is my understanding of the risk.
Return to stock
Another post is here for a description using Odin, and how to check/change your firmware flash count. (You need a jig to reset this; if you don't want to build one they were available on amazon prime as of last week. I tend to trust Amazon to fulfill purchases from unknown sellers.)
I found the above guide to be better personally as it spelled things out better and offered more than one method -- as well on showing how to view the flash counter if you run into someone really tech-savvy at AT&T.

I don't know how this rumor started but it's completely false. Once they've accepted the return, anything they determine after the fact is on them. Ethical or not is besides the point.

I was actually thinking of wireless warranty return, and I see that the OP is returning the device to cancel the contract, but in AT&T Returns Policy & Early Termination Fee you will find the following:
Equipment may not be refunded and the equipment may not be returned to you if one of the following applies:
•Equipment was returned more than 30 days from the purchase or ship date.
•Equipment was determined to be ineligible (e.g., opened software, liquid or physical damage, not in substantially the same condition as when received by you).
Emphasis added.
question
If it's within 30 days, can I return my phone to store that has been rooted and unlocked but still on stock ROM?
A tually that's not true. If AT&T knowingly accepts receipt of a rooted phone, they can not charge you if Samsung rejects the device. It's like saying that Best Buy can recharge your credit card for a return they already refunded to you.

It's spelt warranty.
And I believe the manufacturer's warranty is one year. If it were for the life of the contract, everyone would be claiming the warranty after 2 years and get a brand-spanking new phone after 2 years, contract-free.
If I'm wrong i'll be flamed.

The phone was released last fall....
It depends on whether you bought a "new" device or a "refurb." They had that sale for a while for $10 refurbs, etc. If you bought as new you get one year. If you bought as refurb you get 90 days. When replaced you always get a refurb, with at least 90 days. So if you replaced new device the first month of having it you get until the one year mark. If you get another at the 11 month mark you get 90 days from the replacement, so it can extend past the year.

I agree that there is a lot of spoonfeeding going on which iirc is against xda rules. Technically this forum is for developers hence the name but they let us post and that posting gives us the responsibility of searching for questions first and to not just make our phone cool but learn how to make our phone cool.

Intentionally brick your device? You do know that's insurance fraud, right?

Im not doing it for fraud or to get a new phone or anything, and I dont have insurance or a contract.
XDA does not condone fraud in any shape, form, fashion or code. If you wanted to legitimately brick your device for reason that would benefit the community, first you would have to be an extremely experienced and well known user, not have a registration date of Today and finally not post the same thing in 3 different boards that I am a MOD in.
April 1 or not, I have something for you and it isn't a Joke.

not to sound like a total douche, but what do you think the petition will accomplish? I mean we already gave them money, most of us are still locked into a contract. Neither Sammy or AT&T have any reason to accommodate us.
Dunno, just my thoughts.

Well, before the fervor over the JB release, the reason we didn't have multiview was our video hardware limitation.
But I have used ICS apps with floating windows, so at least that's possible.
Thanks - signed the petition. I cant believe they could ding us like this. Our device is not even that old to begin with cmon Samsung dont shortchange your customers.

This is all besides the point, but this feature was promised to us so we should get what was promised and as far as i know misguiding people or misleading them to believe something is for sure just to make a sale is against the law, anyways that is what happened to me. Hopefully they are forced into this.
In the first place the international device was updated with the enact same thing (Jellybean 4.1.2 Update) only they did in fact receive multiwindow on their device. What is the problem? why is this such a complicated thing for them to do? if they did it for one device they should be able to do it with our American Version device. I think they get Customers hopes up, show them how the multitasking/multiwindow would perform on their device, and most importantly what exactly is multitasking and the benefit of the feature. Then you have numerous customers that are very interested and eager on having this feature, but personally i think they do it on purpose so they can force customers to buy a more expensive device that is mufti-window compatible. Just to get them into another phone that's more expensive and to get as much money out of them as quickly as they can, that's how i see it, why else would they have such a big issue putting it on our device? i'm sure it's not nearly as impossible as they are making it seem.

Show me where on Samsung's website, their official press release of the update or the product page that says we were to get multi-window.
Just because sites reported it but were wrong does not make it a promise from Samsung. SamMobile is not Samsing and doesn't report on their behalf.
So no false advertising is present. Samsung did not mis-represent nothing. It was 3rd party websites that made the error. So the claim against them would be thrown out on that alone.

Yes invite them here. Help with unlocking sources or Block custom roms. Lock the boot tougher.

When will XDA members understand the fact that we as a community are just a small percentage of their sales and they have no need to listen to our demands.
As a matter of fact I'm willing to bet, us as a community have cost manufactures more money than any other groups or the casual consumer.
Bricking phone, OCD exchange after exchanges cause of minor imperfections.
I'm willing to bet manufactures actually hate us

Sony's developer used to come to XDA and help the XDA developers with Kernels and helping them in building CM by providing them with necessary drivers for EXMOR sensor etc. They used to come to XDA and post the alpha version of the firmware and help them identify the problems. It would be great if other company follow the same.

I have been part of close, collaborative, manufacturer/consumer teamwork facilitated thru forums and online organizations before. The benefit to both parties is immense. Any company that would willingly forsake the opportunity to engage one-on-one with their most passionate and informed customers is fundamentally flawed.
That said, I can virtually guarantee a tech-centric company like LG has an entire department dedicated to data mining on the 'net.
