Before i start using SGS2 what have other users used to backup the firmware .
So far bare phone no apps and not rooted .
jje
from what i understand chainfire said that you don't need to necessary backup your original firmware as you can always download the full original firmware and flash your phone with it.
Where can you get the original firmware? Mine won't get past the bootloader.

Install the stock kernel and you will unroot. Custom binary count will still be displayed in download mode and you need to use a USB jig to remove it you need to.

Can you explain this procedure please? I have to return a rooted device, too.
But root was necessary for me (firewall, titanium backup) -Thanks

I have a question here. Which one is stock kernel? The Samsung signed one which is included in the stock/default firmware, right? Now it's also been said that to remove the Yellow triangle from boot up it's also needed to flash the stock kernel or a Samsung signed one. So what am I getting wrong here? What's the difference between a Stock kernel and the kernel which is needed to remove the Yellow triangle?
Regards.
Flash full Stock Samsung firmware removes root .
Flash Samsung stock kernel or use recovery jig to remove yellow warning triangle.

Alright. So Post No. 2 makes no sense.
Regards.
Either or both flash a kernel if you still have root flash full firmware .
My method is to simply flash full original branded provider firmware if contemplating a return for any reason.

Hi everyone, i encounter a problem earlier. Basically i rooted my phone days ago and i m still using stock rom without flashing custom roms. So i eager to try out the mod from Omega thread and install the Omega file from google play. After downloaded the mod (for omega rom) of scrolling wallpaper for TW and i flashed it. Booting up my phone with TW not responding, force close. Try again and again still cant boot into menu. I know i m stupid that didn't do a NAND backup before flashing it, and now i m stuck at this force close thing. So i found out out there there is a stock official rom XXUBMEA, i was previously from XXUAME2, can i flash this rom with odin?What is the complete process i need to do to flash this stock rom? Appreciate that you can help me so i can get back my phone!!

Thousand thanks bro. Last question, will the flashing of this stock rom reset all my setting including the message, contact number and etc and finally roll back to unroot?

It will not delete the setting apps data etc since u are flashing with odin
However after flashing u make whatever data backup u need and reset the device completely so that the csc will match the new firmware and will work with kies

My stock rom suppose is I9505XXUAMEA2 if not mistaken and i rooted it last time, while i was flashing some mod just find out my TW launcher force stop and i need to use easy home mode. i mess up with it. saw the post said latest firmwares release which my country will not get it soon and i decided to flash GERMANY I9505XXUBMEA firmwares. surprisingly i din face with any problem like wifi not working, 4g lte non working and etc. everything just fine. i guess is my luck not to gone through factory reset to make CSC work?

Singapore I9505XXUBMEA firmware is out today. I'm also using the Germany version currently.
Does anyone know how to remove the custom recovery on the N900 version? I am able to unroot the phone and put on the stock firmware, but the CWM recovery stays put. How do I remove it?

you can always just flash the stock rom again with odin as long as you can get into download mode but you loose your data.
are you on 4.4.2 kitkat ? because if so, you need a new version of twrp (or use cwm). there is an unoffical version that supports kk and also the original twrp will get an update soon. theres currently a test build, look at the official thread.
dont use it if you are still on 4.3 !
I really really wish people would search and read before messing with their devices... this is the 800th thread on this again.
Take your battery out, and wait for 60seconds, put back in and try to boot into recovery mode, wipe cache and boot up - OR reflash Stock again.
PS: If you have a Hong Kong Note, you need to go off and read... cause you've made a massive mistake playing.
