Your best bet is to start over by flashing the stock MF3 files using ODIN. From there, re-root your phone, reinstall SafeStrap, and try again. You most likely flashed a non-TW based ROM... remember only TW roms work with SS right now.
If you have any other questions, I'll try to explain it in more detail.

Can you take me through the steps to flash the files in ODIN?

First off, download ODIN 1.85 it seems to be the one that most people have the best luck with.
Grab the MF3 TAR files
Extract the MF3 files to a folder, say on your desktop. ie. MF3
Open ODIN and refer to this picture...

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.

Use Odin to flash it.

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.
android is definitely not suited for everyone...
I had another thread for this, but I figured it would be good to repost it since I didn't know what I had stumbled upon at first.

It's known issue with MEGA, it works best if your using Firefox or Chrome. If the download keeps freezing keep reloading it will eventually work...
Once somebody can grab the files I suggest they be uploaded to several locations, and perhaps a torrent file.
---Edit---
Maybe a mod can edit the title to include something like [Release]? As is stands now people might miss the thread by thinking it's a question being asked.

The files are pretty self explanatory. Platform in PDA, modem in Phone, csc in csc, bootloader in bootloader. Only have auto-reboot checked. Ignore the dll file.

No, if you on MF3 and attempt to load any firmware below it such as MDL you'll end up with a brick (which this will fix, grant it). This has more use for people brick their MF3 devices using MF3-based firmwares.

worked perfectly. trading this phone for an lg. I'm on windows 8.1 pro 64bit and used odin v1.85
This worked great for me as well. The only issue I have is when I first boot up my phone, it hangs in the middle of the AT&T logo until I pull the battery then it boots fine. That only happened in the first boot after odin and first boot after doing a factory restore.

Hate to burst your bubble, but this doesn't seem like the case. Although we have access to the TAR files now the fact is the MF3 bootloader remains locked. Unless we can convince AT&T or Samsung to hand over the keys it's going to be a long wait (if ever) before we find a means to circumvent it's encryption.
What about us Mac users. Will Heimdall work with this?

@DevilDog512 I stand corrected. What did you have to do to get that working?
Safestrap 3.70 in the android development section. Have only flashed this rom so far but have 0 issues. There's a kernelmodules.zip in that thread too that you flash just like you've been doing on 3.65. Can't adjust the system partition size but I don't use more than rom slot 1 anyway so no big deal to me. I'm sure it'll be fixed when it becomes official. Maybe today or tomorrow, but it's damn close to being ready.

You flash a kernel through recovery (not stock recovery) either cwm or safestrap.

Read up on the forums or you'll be using Odin all right. I would not flash any 4.3 roms if you don't know what you're doing. Use Xposed with wanam till safe strap can be perfected.

I just used Odin today. I'm on mk2 but I installed safestrap 3.70 and had darthstalker but decided I didn't really like it much.. Installed the modules and went back to stock ROM but it felt like my 4g download speeds were slow less than 1mb. So I odin the mf3 recovery files than side loaded back to mk2 because I tried factory resetting and 4g wasn't working that good.

I used the update.zip in Stock recovery to go from mf3 to mk2. Not sure how that'll work out if i screw something up. I have the mf3 stock tar files and hash has said he has mk2 tars. I figure there's enough out there to get me back up. I tried flashing every ge rom i could find to no avail. Apparently it's pretty hit or miss right now. I read that they may have found a way to flash some custom kernels on mf3. The same day i upgrade. Hopefully they can get that sorted out and we can pretend like we own our $500 phones.

Do you have I337 or I337M? With i337, you can replace recovery; safestrap is the working recovery for you. With i337m, you don't need safestrap; you can use custom recovery directly.

You do have a ROM that has the look and feel of S5 ROM. Search for "Samy Deluxe ROM S5" in the All things AT&T thread.
Alright, so my AT&T S4 is on 5.0.1 lollipop and I need to root it. I don't have root access and muniz_ri's thread says that I need to flash back to NB1. Before I flash, I went to download mode and saw words that were in blue: Secure Download enabled. I'm not sure what it means, so I don't do anything yet, in case I mess something up. My point is that I need help on what that means and if it is safe to flash back.

If anything goes wrong you need to flash the nb1 tar file in Odin. Any update .zip is only flashable in the stock recovery. If something goes wrong you won't be able to boot into recovery, only download mode.

If anything goes wrong you need to flash the nb1 tar file in Odin. Any update .zip is only flashable in the stock recovery. If something goes wrong you won't be able to boot into recovery, only download mode.
Edit, you don't need to search Google. Everything you need is in gutt13's Index, All things AT&T....

Man, you're worrying too much. You can always get back. Worst case is you ota back. It might take awhile as ota's come sequential. Just flash the nb1 tar in Odin. Boot up and it'll most likely want to ota right away to nc1. Let it do it. Then root with towelroot. Then use the keep root method to go up to oc3. Don't bother setting up the rest of your device, ie apps etc. Until you're back too lollipop.

Okay, sorry for annoying you but last question(hopefully), you sure the secure download enabled won't do anything right?

It does nothing, I've had that on and flashed ODIN files numerous times with no issues.

It do a lot!!! You can't load TWRP to phone via heimdall for example... You can flash it via Odin... if You have windows
Why not just use the KingRoot app or the PC program wondershare Go Pro to root?
