[Q] Unrooting - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hey Guys
Just rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE on the Rogers network. Just wondering when the Rogers ICS update comes out tin the new year will this re root my phone?

No one knows. Yet. The oneclicks i have a feeling will not work on 4.0 they dont on 2.3.6 so you may have to wait until 4.0 hits and is posted into a rooted rom. Which im sure will happen within hours of the ota happening

as Silver says, no one can say today if you'll lose current root when ICS rolls out... however, I was rooted on 2.3.5 (with stock 3e recovery) and after I took the ATT OTA 2.3.6 update, I didn't lose root.

Historically however, you would lose the root correct?
Also, if my phone remains rooted after the Rogers update to ICS. Will it function ok on a rooted phone?
Thanks

"Historically" I didnt lose root when I took the ATT OTA 2.3.6 update (when I was on 2.3.5). All my rooted apps worked perfectly after OTA update as I still had superuser permission. Rooting just gives you more permission.

[Q] Reverting Back to MR1

I have a TB I need to return that has the MR2 update on it and I'm not rooted, how do I revert back to the 1st update or can that be done. I do not wont to lose my warranty on my phone.

How do you have MR2 (not an official SIGNED update) on you non-rooted phone?
If you didn't root and get s-off then the phone shouldn't let you flash any unofficial updates?
Did you just get the OTA update, or has your phone been rooted and s+off'd but you flashed one of the RUU's that's not rooted?
If you never rooted or gained s-off then your phone is still in its original form and you don't need to undo any updates. Only need to return to stock if you're rooted with s-off which it sounds like you did not do?

You can install the MR2 full update without being rooted. I had it on my phone also before i rooted it.

Nope. The original MR2 leak was for unrooted phones and it was signed.
Thanks, Robertus
Leaked MR2 was signed.

I thought it wasn't signed for some reason... My bad...

Do u think Verizon will even notice that it is on there because some of these instructions look way to complicated to get it back to the 1st update. The other phone I had shipped wont be here till July 6th, do anyone think the new update will be out then so I can put it on the old phone then ship it back?
There may be an update on the sixth since that is when the Hotspot promo ends. It usually required a software push to disable it. Don't bet on it though.

[Q] Should I upgrade to 1.84.502.11?

My wife has a stock Inspire, not rooted yet. She keeps getting a notification that there is an update available, 1.84.502.11. She currently has 1.80.502.3 (CL318736 whatever that means). If we do the update, will we lose future root capabilities? What does the update expect to improve?

1.84 is rootable. Also, the stock rom is available here abouts, try the dev section. Really, though, just root it now and save yourself some headaches.

I agree, root the phone now and just head to dev thread and find attn1's stock rooted update with updated radio.

You can try, depending on your ROM, but I seriously doubt anything you want to happen will come out of that. You might be stuck in a boot loop, it could brick it, it could just screw up all kinds of stuff. VERY bad idea in general. My advice:
Be patient.
im still running HTC Mecha.. I just used Revolutionary to root.. and still have everything running good on my stock ROM.

Mecha is the HTC codename for the device, much like the EVO 4G is known as the Supersonic and the Incredible S/Incredible2 as the Vivo/Vivow, respectively.
just be patient. Usually a workable, root version will be released shortly before or after the OTA goes live. I would not except an OTA on a rooted phone. just keep an eye out on XDA.
Since you're rooted and stock the best thing to do is to wait until they release a version of it so you can install it via recovery like already mentioned. If you accept an OTA update while rooted bad things will most likely occur.
You will not he able to install an ota if your rooted. This is due to the custom recovery. When the update checks the recovery, it will fail.

I'm not sure but I assume if it's stock then you should be able to get GB. It's not OTA, though, you have to use Kies Mini to get it. If you want to do it yourself, though, Raver posted an ODIN version of stock KJ6 in the Dev section.
Even if it was unlocked, it can receive OTA updates. i had KB5 and my phone was unlocked and it wanted to upgrade to kd1 over the air. as stephen said, 2.3.6 is only through kies, though.
Gingerbread is not OTA. You will have to use kies or have clockwork recovery installed and do it that way.
If you are staying stock use kies. How tos for both options are in the development section.

... and I lost root too. I assumed (I know I shouldn't have) that there would be an xda write up for rooting it already. Hopefully, someone will answer this or a similar thread soon. Good thing it's a weekend! :fingers-crossed:
Just use cf auto root. It worked fine for me. Took like 4mins. As long as you have odin.
