ok
then is it possible to unlock for free without root?
I just got a new SGSII and I don't want to have a big yellow exclamation mark my current one has
Then buy a £2 MicroUSB "jig" from eBay - that will clear it.
what do you mean "unlock without root?"
also there is a solution to exclamation mark if you flash custom kernels.

No you need root.
Flash CF root, then flash back your stock kernel, you will still have root but without the yellow warning triangle.

how to I backup my stock kernel?
No need to, just make a note of what kernel you're using, then download it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
1. It is not possible to root without flashing kernal
But you can update firmware to newest one via ODIN
2. You can unlock without rooting... Its called paying for the unlock code
Free is only through rooting
3. And why have you got another one if you already have a SGS2 ??????
Is that you are hooked on to rooting and bricking

ok so I flashed XKWDD_insecure through Odin
that went fine
but now when I'm trying to root with super 1 click it keeps locking up at step #5
anyone know what's going wrong?
Just flash CF-Root kernel and you're done.

If you gotten a new SGS2, should that not have come with the latest firmware version of that phone, in such a case, would rooting with CF-root not be better?

go to applications > settings > phone information
and note down the kernel version. (look at the KE, KF1/2/3 etc)
and compare that to the ones in that topic. Pick the one that is like it, or almost like it.

but since I've already changed the kernel thru odin wont that information already be skewed?
Well if you didn't note down your stock kernel and flashed a completely different one into it, then you have a problem. Im still very much new to android systems and XDA. (i registed today, but I lurked and read and researched for several days)
But, I think you can just grab one of the latest ones but I think some more experienced users here can give you a better answer on that matter.

Hi there.
I have rooted my Galaxy S2 and have decided I want to unroot it and remove Superuser and ClockworkMod and everything that I gained when I rooted it. I have tried superoneclick, flashing the default kernel onto the phone and I dont know how to remove superuser.
I would like to restore the phone to factory settings, and I'm scared and dont know what to do.
Please help me I will be eternally greatful.
Benjamin.
flashing stock kernel should have done it download the corresponding stock rom from samfirmware (follow instructions closely) and then should have to correct stock, unrooted software on your s2 just make sure 100% its for the correct region, why do you want to flash back can i ask? cant see any benefit other than you warrenty
Flash one stock rom or flash only a kernel the stock rom
please make it simple for me.
Isn't Superuser just an application you can uninstall if you just don't want it anymore? And SuperOneClick has an option to unroot the phone again (although I have never done that because I never needed it but I suppose it works if you just click on the big button for it).

As far as I'm aware you have to flash a stock rom. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.
Also flashing stock kernel will not remove root.
Stock roms:

Flashing stock kernel won't remove susperuser.. Flashing whole ROM does.. One way of removinf the triangle in boot up is Flash CF-Root then flash stock kernel then through CWM manager flash the zimage of CF-Root.. As you can see when CF-Root was flashed over with stock kernel superuser and cwm manager still remains.. So better off flashing whole firmware rather than just stock kernel..

I'm mean I don't know what you are scared of, may be you are new to rooting and feel something is going to happen to the phone.
Just make sure you know what you are flashing, read change logs, flash from trusted sites like xda, verify md5 sum, don't simply flash anything you find on the net.
If you are still not comfortable, download what ever stock firmware version you want, flash thru Odin and you will be good.

Harden up.
Search the forums & find an original complete ROM/firmware for your provider & download it.
Use Odin to flash it.
Intratechs thread has the links, and the instructions.

Hi Benjamin. Don't be scared. It's quite easy really. Follow the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278.
Download the firmware nearest to your original firmware. Read the thread in the link above carefully and you'll be able to restore it to a factory state.

It depends on your kernel version. If you read chainfires tutorial it will tell you how to check. Go to settings-About Phone- then scroll down to kernel. It should say N7000XX then what your kernel is. So mine is N7000XXKKA

If you got 7k in Quadrant you probably had a super lite ROM flashed on your SGS2 or used titanium to freeze every app. Otherwise I'm calling bull**** on your claim because I also had an SGS2 and it was nowhere near as nimble as you make it out. The Note is every bit as fast as the SGS2 with 2.3.6 and a few tweaks. In fact my girlfriend has a white SGS2 arriving on Tuesday so I'll be more than happy to throw up a side-by-side video to disprove what you said.

Changes :
1.The word "Swipe screen to unlock" appear on lockscreen
2. New Phone Icon
3. Torch widget
4. Wake up significant faster than prev firmware
5. One hand operation option under keyboard
6. Levels of brightness control for browser
Nice!!!Thanks for sharing!!!
Where it released???
For Germany Debitel.
Is this an OTA update which will hit WW? Is it english, not sure if that's a silly question just don't want to download and flash something that is useless!
Need more information really, is it any different? What has changed?

Have flashed it and it had no bloatware at all. Just a standard Samsung firmware. And it does not lock your phone. I am in Sweden and using it with Three without any problems. But it has the same market problems as KL3 that some local apps might not be available in the market.

Can you check if this ROM can purchase paid apps, KL3 cant.
I personally use HTC one and am rooted with a custom rom. I had purchased a verizon Galaxy Note 3 for my sister as a Christmas gift and she loves the thing but i guess after loading up junk to it and the bloat already on the phone its gotten slow and Samsung patched out the ability to tether. So she has commissioned me to root her phone for her and find a Debloated rom that's as close to stock as possible. Correct me if i'm wrong but based on my reading Samsung devices have a extra hurdle to jump called KNOX and it will cause you to void your warranty and its unrecoverable from that voided state ? Is what i'm asking possible to do without doing this to the phone if this even happens ? I know the new TowelRoot method is the in thing to rooting Samsung devices but that's all i know about it. Her Note3 is on the second OTA update does this matter ? should i update to the latest OTA ? then root ? Any input would be GREATLY appreciated especially cause you'd help me to get my sister to stop harassing me to do this for her lol

Once up and running most roms are good. Alliance is great but the settings are very involved and may a bit much for her. I have the last Baja rom before they became Alliance if you're interested. The s5 port is a work of art as well but more than she's looking for probably. I can't really say for what rom you should pick as that's user choice. Hope this helps.

Thanks for checking and sharing that pic. You're on MJE. Look for the kingo root app online. There's no link on xda. The app is pretty straight forward from what I remember. If she just wants bloatware gone she can download Titanium Backup once rooted and get rid of some bloat.

Not from a website, he must be a samsung ses or employee.
Any word on a potential release date for nougat? Extremely dissatisfied with Samsungs lack of support with the U variants. Makes me want to avoid Samsung products here on out.
It makes me think that they're waiting to synchronize the S8 and S7u software releases... So perhaps the S7u will get all the S8 features before the carrier versions?
I know the SM-G930VL got Nougat today. No Wi-Fi calling or video call but it did finally get it. It's the Straight Talk unlocked version.
That's pretty pitiful when prepaid carriers get it before unlocked owners...
It's pretty stupid that an UNLOCKED version doesn't have the latest software, so dumb of Samsung to do that.
Also None of the Verizon versions of S7 has the updated firmware too, so far only T-Mobile in the US has 7.0
May be AT&T does too

All the major carriers have it. Verizon just got it about a week ago.
I bought this thinking 7.0 was on it, and quite disappointed that it's not, and it's not even available.
You can Odin another carriers nougat on the U. I'm using Verizon's until it does cone out.
Do I need to root my phone to do that? or I can just ODIN it?

Where do I get the Verizon Rom? And how is your experience so far?
Is it pretty smooth? Any lag and what about the battery life?

someone wrote a guide for root/unroot/returning to stock rom

Hmm, this is going to root the phone, I don't want to root it, as it will decrease it's value. I will wait for another week or two if there is no update to 7.0 I will sell it

what? no, just scroll down (bottom of first post) to where it says "return to stock" and follow the instructions there. you don't have to be rooted to install another official samsung rom. and also fwiw even if you do end up rooting you can always reinstall stock rom without tripping knox (as implied in the tutorial).

Just like he said but when you download the Verizon firmware, make sure you use CSC and not the HOME CSC when you flash. Home will keep your data but I'm not sure how it'll react coming from a different carrier.
