Thanks a lot for your nice work. :)

Is this possible to keep device rooted but roll back Insecure kernel to Default Original kernel of Device that make that yellow triangle hidden ?

Thanks again, but i just don't understand step 7, when i want to bring it to original state. What should i select as .tar file ?

did i suppose to make backup of original Kernel before using Insecure Kernel or it is some where ... :confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
It tells you what you need to select! You select the insecure kernel file you should have downloaded! Please read the guide all the way through. Original kernels are in the same place as insecure kernels.

Hi guys,

I was hoping somebody might be able to help? I'm trying to unroot my phone as I need to return it for warranty (it keeps thinking the charger is plugged in).

Here's the Kernel Info from S2 Root:

Checking Device Connection...

---------------------------------------

but if I click unroot, S2 hangs at Remounting '/system' as Read Only.... the only way to get it to run again is to disconnect the USB cable (I left it for like 10min). and then it says:

Hi, I'm new in android universe (from iphone) and I wana root.

But, I don't wana loose my 2 years warranty.

Im happy with default 2.3.4 samsung stock rom (Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468 root@Dell143#2), but I need ad_hoc pach!? (on iphone ad_hoc works out of box), and volume patch. I do not need custom cooked roms, bootloaders, themes, etc, just this 2 patches and root.

If I use your metod, can I have rooted phone and:

Still update official roms via Kies? (upcoming 2.3.5 resolve ad_hoc problem)?

Still have my 2 years warranty?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] crypticc:
Just apply intratech ki3 (frankenstein for your region, e.g. xeu for most of europe) and chainfire rooted ki3. It is 2.3.5 and as close to stock you can get and still be rooted

Question!

Sorry to bother you

the thing that i got is :

after i flashed,

there is no way to bring it back to original kernel version that it was before but i can use one of your original kernel.

my original kernel was JPKG2.

where can i find it ?

what is exact difference between these kernel versions ?

has Samsung warranty any issue with this new kernel version or it is not important for them ? and the important thing is that device should have original kernel and unrooted.

or ... ? :(

thanx again man

Help! No TEMP root access

I'm pretty stuck, when I run v1.41 and v1.4 and try to root it keeps telling me I have no TEMP root access, but I have installed an insecure kernel. I check the kernel version on my firm and it's confirmed as the insecure one. I also get the yellow triangle with exclamation symbol on boot up.

I've run through this process several times now, using different insecure kernels. I have the following build: Phone BOKG1 PDA BOGK2 Kernel but have replaced the kernel with an insecure one currently XWKG1

I want to be able to just root and be able to unroot so I can return my phone to Tmobile if need be for warranty purposes.

Anyone got any ideas? This is very frustrating...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Ahh sorry mate, been looking at the source code and spotted a bug. Ill fix and upload the update soon. :)

S2 Root v1.4.2 has been released. This bug should now be fixed! :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] iqbalbaskara:
First of all, thank you lyriquidperfection for this great tool! I've searched around the forum and I find this one the easiest to understand and follow.

I have a question though, how do I install CWM recovery after rooting with your method? I tried installing ROM manager, and it flashed CWM recovery just fine but it wont boot into it, it says 'wrong whole-file signature' or something ( I saw another member post similar case in one of the previous posts ). Would you be kind enough to point us to the right direction if we want to install CWM recovery after using your fantastic tool? Much thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] timberwolf60:
I also waited for it. But I temporaly method:

1) used CF-Root 4.1. you will have CWM.

2) Used Odin3 to flash insecure kernel. Used S2 root 1.4.1 to un root it.

3) Flashed insecure kernel, root by using S2 Root 1.4.1.

4) Flashed back secure kernel, then flash ninphetamin 2.1.3 by CWM flash kernel.

Now your system will have CWM, SU V3 and BB 1.9.2.

I have it on ki3 system and working fine for me. No more triangle for me. Enjoy!

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

I was happy with 1.4.1, but now come 1.4.2. I like the SU v3 and BB 1.19.2.

Here is my second beer for you: confirmation number:3BJ92688ST356615A. Cheer!

Again, still waiting for your CWM.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nurra:
Op or anyone please answer me this. I'm rooted using this method but I want update to the latest firmware version. Can I do a factory reset then update like non rooted phone? Because I didn't flash a secure kendal back in. also can I use this method to root the latest firmware? Many many thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] iqbalbaskara:
thanks timberwolf60! seems a bit convoluted though? I can't quite understand what you meant by step 1, are you suggesting we should just do the CF Root method after we do the S2 Root method?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
No!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
This root method is for those who want root but retain a stock rom. This method does not include CWM.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] timberwolf60:
Because I need CWM so I rooted by cf-root. Then I unrooted by S2 root and rooted again because I need new clean version of SU and BB.

If I only need rooted the phone like a stock ROM. S2 root was the most simple method.

I have problem with 1.4.2 for un root my system which was rooted by CF-Root and 1.4.1 was no problem to me.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Ahh right. What is the problem with S2 Root 1.4.2? I did change the code in the UnRoot method as it was buggy before.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] timberwolf60:
After flashed with insecure kernel to unroot. it wad aborted and prompted me to flash secure kernel. I tried 2 time with the same result. So I used 1.4.1 was no problem. I was admired was it removed away SU and bb during the un root process and made the system clean.

CWM was needed for me was I can instore sicopat ROM by ZIP in CWM recover also I used to backup my system. So I can testing on new rom easily and switched back to my favorite rom on the fly.

Totally new to the whole rooting thing. Trying to figure out which insecure kernel to use. Kernel version on my SGSII is 2.6.32.9. If this was already talked about previously in this thread, I apologize. Thanks for any help. :)

Thanks for your response. Which insecure kernel should I choose (there are sooo many on the list).

Thanx again!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Just use the closest one to your version. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] astrosplatt:
How for you figure out which kernel is the closest? I can't tell squat. Lol
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] :
I agree with what he said, mine is UCKH7. There are a couple that start with U in the OP, do we just use one of those?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Its the last 3 digits that must match or be close so you are looking for a KH7 kernel.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] astrosplatt:
Mine is froyo.vuvkd1. Does it matter it's a galaxy s 2 4g? Brand new and all that.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] iqbalbaskara:
erm.. could you be more specific please?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Look at the reply underneath where it first said no. Was in a hurry when replying.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] iqbalbaskara:
oh this one? Yeah I understand that much.. I was asking because what if someone (like me) thought he doesn't need a CWM recovery at first, but than changes his mind and decided he needed it anyway, so now he's looking for a way to flash CWM recovery to his phone which is rooted using your tool (which is great by the way). How should he do that? :)

Hi People,

I need to restore my s2 to unrooted as i have to take it get camera problem fixed i have litening 6.1

I have downloaded Optus original firmware & kernel but both unzip as .exe which Odin won't accept .

How do i get .tar files or can .exe be converted to .tar ?

I also tried S2root to unroot via insecure kernel but i can't flash it as it unzips to zImage file .

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] timberwolf60:
lyriquidperfection, this morning I had replied you about 1.4.2 problems. My PC was Window 7/32Home premium. Back home, I redo by flashing to KH3 full package wipe version, then flashed to CF-root 4.1 KH3. Used S2-root 1.4.2 to unroot it. I had the following results:

Checking Device Connection

Device Connected!

Checking Root access....

Device has Temp Root Permission!

Flash a Secure Stock Kernel to remove ROOT entirely. Aborting...

So by using 1.4.1 to unroot and root it again, used CWM flashed the KH3 kernel, then used CWM flashed ninphetanmine 2.1.3 kernel was successfully without any problem. boot to download mod to install sicopat KI3 ROM, Restored all my application into SGS2. voila.

From the above demonstration, CWM was a very good utilities for us. Hope you can do something as an optional package for people who need it. Then your S2-root was perfect for rooting.

---------- Post added at 11:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

The file from Optus original firmware & kernel in exe file ext. mostly it was zipped files. By double click in your PC and the files will be upzipped back to flashable ROM file.

S2 Root now updated to 1.4.3! New features and fixes and now supports ALL SAMSUNG Android devices! :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Technoboi:
Got my SGS2 today but having issue using the actual Root tool. I got through ODIN alright but not getting S2 to connect.

I disconnected, reconnected all while Kies is already installed (first thing I did) but getting NOT connected error still.

In Device Manager, these are not installed:

How can I remedy this to finally root and proceed to flashing back the original "secure" kernel? (This part I understand but S2 is the issue).

Edit

I uninstalled Kies and the Samsung USB Driver. Disconnected phone, unchecked and rechecked debugging. Connected device before I installed Kies, allowed what could be installed to be installed.

Disonnected phone...reinstalled Kies...after install and before loading Kies (with debugging mode on), I reconnected the phone and all the appropriate drivers installed. S2 now recognized and I was able to root successfully now onto flashing secure kernel.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tomascunill:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Hi cant help you with the kernel but if you use the option in S2 Root, that should put you in download mode. I think you can use international kernel for rooting purposes but it means your touch sensitive keys wont work. You dont need to touch them anyway and can always flash stock kernel back after rooting. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] unknown1205:
tried to run S2 but it says it can't detect the phone. also upon launching S2, it says to first flash a kernel. how do i flash a kernel if i can't get into download mode? i'm an HTC user and i'm just trying to help out a friend root his gs2 device.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Check kies is installed on pc and usb drivers are installed correctly. When S2 Root loads up you should be able to jump to download mode to flash insecure kernel before rooting.

BTW could you kindly to provide an ulility to clear the su and bb like the un root process. This is important when I changed to other ketnel for tesing the new ROM.

My system was KI8 with cf-root v3 which was an insecure kernel. But I already changed to Siyah ver 2 beta7 kernel. So I directly used 1.5.1 to un root, fellow flash KI8 kernel by Odin3. Used CWM flashed to siyah kernel was successfull with clean SU and BB. Thank!

It was good when I wanted to change to other rooted kernel, so I un root it first then I can flashed to any rooted kernel without any problem. Great improvement with 1.5.1.
