[Q] Unroot my SGSII

Ok,
I'm trying to Unroot my phone and I've looked all around, including outside of XDA and I cannot find a fix. The K0nane method is a no go. Everytime I run it through ODIN it fails, giving me the DL screen of death on my phone. (phone----caution-----computer) I have to reflash the CWM .zip and it works again.
Can someone please PLEASE point me in the direction of a comprehensive unroot method? It would be greatly appreciated.
(yes I've looked, I've searched, I've combed, I cannot find anything that works for my Skyrocket.)

Any idea why Odin method doesn't work? Try the tar from sammy. Try a different version of Odin. Try a different computer or USB slot. Theres no reason it shouldn't work. Maybe reinstall drivers. Have you tried all that? :thumbup:

Have you Odin'ed the .tar from sammobile.com yet? It will take you back to original 2.3.5 unrooted and 3e recovery. Seems you are comfortable with Odin. Your phone will be unrooted. Make a backup of calls, schedules, messages and etc. With Kies then restore after you flash back to stock. You will have to redownload all of your apps. If you had a nandroid of 2.3.5 you could restore it then use the zergrush exploit to unroot.

Make sure your phone is connected via USB at moment you place the phone into firmware update (download mode) konane tar and Odin should work I hope that this is mistake you are making and that it works out for you mate.
---------- Edit---------
Make sure the phone is hooked up to the computer and then do the same step you would do to place the phone into recovery mode, without the USB cable connected your phone will not go into download mode. Make sure none of the boxes on the top are checked in.

Hey thanks guys, i'm looking into all of this asap. I appreciate all.the responses as soon as i'm back to a computer thanks to all.

Odds are if it doesn't work for your skyrocket means you are doing it wrong . Odin failing can happen for a variety of reasons. Bad usb cable, not using a Motherboard usb port on PC (if desktop use rear USB ports, don't use any adapters or external USB hubs), not using Download mode. Just to be sure run ODIN as admin. Plenty of references in general and Q&A.

If Odin's still a problem try triplexkush's Kies method.

Rooting was the easy step and from experience Samsung has the easiest to root phones. Mind you i'm saying this based on the blood, sweat and tears of the devs who paved the way. This is a great community and the tools available are awesome.
even for the absolute noob the"all in one" guide in the Dev forum is awesome. Hell even for someone not new to it the all in one rocks!
Again thanks so much guys, and for the record, after getting flamed enough times in the past for posting a question that I know damn well has been asked, yes I'll dump HOURS into combing the threads and googling and checking various other sources before I ask anymore. I never knew a community of people could be so hostile towards someone for asking, god forbid I was the pinnacle of noob and got some of the responses on a question that I've gotten in the past for various other phones and issues.

Not too recently. It just happens from time to time. You get people who instead of just shaking their heads and moving on they would rather let you know that your post insults them because they took the time to read a lot of similar posts...really its as easy as saying to one self "another one, really?" Then moving on.

where did i mess up to get this verizon unauthorized message?

i had a stock rom...rooted it, then went to install one of the roms from the website here and the custom kernel...now i keep getting this lame message...detected unauthorized software please take your phone to a verizon store. what am i doing wrong here??

Are you trying to use odin or have you flashed a custom recovery, cm or twrp?

I'm guessing you didn't use the right recovery to flash a kernel. What recovery did you use.

This really should be in the general discussions not in development. At the leased it should be in a post in the development for the ROM you were trying.

Probably just didn't use Kexec

You didn't read the OP of whatever it was you were doing.

Way too many d-bags on XDA. Yes, he posted in the wrong forum, now he knows and I'm sure a mod will move it. Saying it over and over again and being a d-bag while doing it, doesn't help anyone.
OP, as others have stated, you are probably best off going back to a stock rom from Odin and ensuring you have a proper recovery flashed. Then start over with whatever it was you were trying to do.

really, what a DB (probably doesn't know the answer anyway).
I hate it when posters can't just help someone out.

wow!!!
lol wow guys, i didnt check this for a few days and honestly i will probably never post here again. i downloaded ez-recovery as i was told to do in many posts. i installed a kexec recovery...cwm 6.0.1.0. i followed the instructions in the synergy rom page and installed it through cwm. i then downloaded the Imoseyons Lean Kernel and installed it in cwm, rebooted and received the error message.
i have flashed several roms and recoveries over the years with the droid inc, droid inc2. and now the samsung. sorry to start a flame war. i will not post here again. i was simply trying to help report issues to developers.
good day.

That's a very helpful reply Hank, thanks so much for your participation.
arkas,
it appears the adam kernel is specifically for the intl S3, as I cannot find any other reference for it.

You have to admit Bob, you said what at least once reading that.
Arkas, this should be in the q&a section, maybe themes and apps but definitely not the development section. Hope you find what you are looking for.
Give me some M.O.A.R. because its the ?!

Try changing superuser.apk to something different. I know with time warner app it wouldn't work because of root. So changed it to just user.apk rebooted and it worked.

It appears that it works on my end but I'm on Verizon so ultimately there is no way for me to try on an international phone. Sky go was obtained through an alternative source because Google play says it was not "available" for download through play store.
Also I'm not entirely sure we're even talking about the same sky go since there were a couple available and op didn't offer up anything other than ramblings.
That sufficient Bob?

Anyone else new here after the BMF1 update?

I had an EVO for a little over 2 years and I rooted that the first day I got it. Since I got my GS3, that swipe to call / text feature made me love the stock ROM so much I never thought I'd leave it. Now that they took that away with the latest update, I'm rooting to a stock Android ROM today. Am I the only one that's made this switch? Any chance there's a stock ROM with that feature? I kind of yearn for it now that it's gone.

I don't think it's gone on the new update.

Yes. I think the position where you start the swipe has changed. Not sure if it works on all other Roms, I run rooted-stock.

C'mon, 4.1.2 was the last official release. We're not getting 4.2 and we're certainly not getting 4.3 or 4.4. You should know a little about your device before posting questions here.
