[Help] Unroot and factory reset - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I need to send my S2 to warranty and i need help with reset/unroot please.
CSC I1900NEELP6 and im on 4.0.4
if you need anymore info please tell me
thanks

Yeah...you can't factory reset while in 4.0.4 because of the brick bug.
You should flash your carrier ROM and that's it.
Let me ask you something, why are you claiming warranty? What happened?

Thanks for the help, can you tell me where to find a stock rom please
My problem is the phone keeps charging after i unplugged it from the wall/usb, you think flashing a new rom might solve that?

That's called fuel gauge (it adjusts itself) and you can find ROMs here.

Just flash a stock rom that your phone previously had when it came through odin... easy as pie...

Nah, it's the device setting a battery baseline, or something like that.
If you want it gone drain it till it goes off, charge it full while off and when it hits 100 % remove the battery for 90 sec aprox, insert it, power it up and there you go.

model is i9100 now its in the state total off no screen on nor working recovery or download mode i put off battery two hours
Your inability to answer simple questions leads me to suggest that you should contact Samsung. We cannot help you.

Good luck getting any more help.
You can try to get into Download mode using USB Dongle Jig.
If not, JTAG is the only way to unbrick. Unbrivk with JTAG costs about 50$ in my country. It will totaly reflashe the rom (bootloader, kernel, etc.).
Also check this topick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615058

Hey guys. This SGSII cost me all my savings i've been making, and such I can't risk it to go to Samsung Service Center cause bad explanatons given.
So i ask you, how to 100% apply Root and CWM?
Here's my Model:

It's a Portuguese stock SGSII with ICS 4.0.4.

since you are on 4.0.4 your phone probably have the brick bug. The easiest and safest way to root is to flash siyah kernel 5.01 or earlier version via ODIN. I believe you know how to use Odin.

Nope, I don't. I come from Galaxy Ace. Never used Odin on it..and rooting was simple as aplying a .zip from recovery

Well, if you want to be entirely save, just stay on the stock rom.
However, if you're willing to take the risk, because it's never 100% safe, check if you're having an insane chip and eventually root your device with Odin. Several guides and explanations here on xda (and Google also).

Install 'eMMC Brickbug Check' from the Play Store, and look for threads about the Brickbug. It's important you do this before rooting, because you're on 4.0.4.

Check the link below for the 'eMMC brick bug check' app from stores, install the same and see if u have got a Sane or Insane chip on ur phone
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.vinagre.android.emmc_check&hl=en
even if its a Insane chip, there is no need to worry as long as u wont do anything silly (like Wiping Data on the stock kernel recovery of android v4.0.4).
Just flash Siyah kernel v4.1.5 or v5.0.1 (tar file for ODIN) on ur phone, as custom kernel's like Siyah and Dorimanx are BrickBug free kernels and will not effect ur phone when u perform 'Wipe Data/Factory Reset' from there Recovery
U can google for some Youtube Guides on 'How to flash Custom Kernel on galaxy S2 using Odin'
Good Luck!

How that program works? Is it 100% secure?
I runed that app and nothing happens. Just says:
eMMC Chip:
Type: V3U00M
Data 10/2012
CID: many numbers

Brick Bug?
NO: Sane chip.

Lol,The app has done its wrk already ma8
u have a sane chip on ur phone, that means ur phone is not affected by the 'eMMC BrickBug'.
Still to be on the safer side u can install a custom Kernel of ur Choice Like Siyah v4.1.5 or v5.0.1 for example.
As the Cwm recovery that comes with it will aid in installing Custom Rom/Kernel of ur choice

Take my Advice and Stay on Stock Rom for now and dont toss all ur Savings investd on ur phone into thin air
try things listed below to see the diff on batt life
1)If not in use Turn off ur Data/wifi.
2)Turn Off all autosync on ur phone (E-mail, gmail, Location etc)
3) Use more of WIFI (when its availble) over DATA as much as possible.
4)if ur using Facebook/Skype/Googlechrome etc then SEEK alternative apps like Freindcaster/Stock Browser as they r more friendly on ur batt compared to the former one's.
5) turn off ur Data when ur on a low netwrk signal area.
this way u can get more Juice out of ur battery for sure

No offense, but I think you should try your phone for a few weeks first. Then you can start thinking about rooting, but first learn more about how to use it.
If you want to root it, read a lot first, because now you're asking things that are discussed a million times already.

If you are not sure you better wait for the official JB update from samsung which will be released next month hopefully..Normally stock ICS roms have good battery life. When i was using stock ICS i was able to get through a day without much problem. With siyah kernel you can underclock and undervolt cpu to save battery.
If you dont know how to use Odin search google and youtube. There are so many videos regarding the matter. Just follow the instructions.

If you learn how to use odin correctly brickbug is not a problem. Anyway stay on stock until you learn things. Screen normally uses most of the battery. It is normal enjoy your phone. Official JB will be released next month. At least thats what samsung says. Please be patient and hit the thanks button

Hited my friend, and thanks for the patient. All of you thanks too!
Can you provide me a link for that of samsung? I tried to find but I only see "in Ocotber-November" they will release:s
Root it without using odin. Then you can play with titanium to freeze and stcpu to governate.
You already got a bunch of carrier bloatware in your device. Same happened to me.
I started reading this forum, double checkin' all the time on "what is the safest method for me?", and came across a cmw & busybox zip files, rooted. Then I discovered Mobile Odin and, as I had enough with ICS, went up to JB leak with it.
It was so cool to flash my device in half-a-smoke time, no carrier boot animation, no carrier bloat whatsoever, I'm looking at 1-2 days battery, smoothness with butter project, and a really good loking device compared with my friends GB & ICS (they go like "what tha....".
But the guys are right too, you really gotta start enjoying your device, It truly is...an amazong phone.

[Q] Just ordered GS3 (i9300) I heard something about them randomly dying?

Someone mentioned something about the i9300 version having an issue that randomly kills the phone? Is there a way to prevent this from happening? I'm assuming just rooting it and changing the kernel would do it but I don't know to much about what causes it.

Okay. Thank you and this 100% fixes it? I'm just trying to find out because I can still cancel the order if I need to.
No one knows for certain as Samsung have not released an official statement but this is as certain as you can get, no need to worry though as sds is covered by Samsung and they just replace motherboard.
To be absolutely certain use the thanks button, and your days will be blessed!

You wanna flash the stock ROM option.
Now....looking at this closely I'm concerned about that "changes the time by itself" thing. Ask her if the device has been in touch with any kind of liquid (coffee, water, drink, etc).

I bought the S2 used.
Came with ICS 4.0.3.
Recently I flashed Omega Rom, why I need to follow the installation of Stock Rom? Because Omega is Sammy based?
So, in your opinion, I need to follow this:
"If you are installing a new STOCK ROM and want to do a Nuke/Wipe then:
1. Reboot into CWM Recovery
2. Install zip from SD card>Run GS2ROMWipe or GS2ROMNuke
3. Reboot into Download mode
4. Install your stock ROM via Odin
5. Re-root your device"
???
You're gonna flash a stock ROM after you wipe. Stock ROMs are great to see if an issue persists because, if it does, you need to start thinking about a hardware issue.
Did you ask her about the water/whatever?

Yes, and she told me that never came into contact with water or liquids.
So, summarizing and concluding, after doing the "[CWM UTIL] GS2ROMNuke/Wipe/Reset/Clean Scripts," I have flashing for example the official 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and then root?
Lastly, view what happens with the phone, right?
Exactly.

The only kernel that I have to root is the Siyah-v3.2b8.
You advise another or this is ideal?
In a few days i´m gonna try your solution... 4 days have passed and the phone has not given problems... weird...
If it's not giving you crap don't flash anything.
You could also flash stock and see how it goes.
Give it 2 weeks.

i did this to my device almost 2 week ago and upgraded my HDD so unfortunately i don't have the back up and can't remember the kernel version or which file i used to root it
maybe luck is not on my side after all ... .
Ok....to recap......
Can you enter recovery mode?
Can you enter download mode?
Do you get the battery icon on the screen when you plug the charger in?
Does the area below the main camera get warm when you attempt to charge?
If your answers are 'no', 'no', 'no' and yes.....then more than likely it IS brickbug.......
Which brings me to my next question.......
Ignoring the fact that you rooted (this is now undetectable) are you under warranty?
Samsung are aware that *some* of their phones will fail if a wipe or kies update is performed on them. So as long as you tell them........
'I tried to update with kies and then the phone switched off and wouldn't switch on again'
then they *should* repair the phone under warranty.
Just DON'T mention XDA or rooting or odin or brickbug......or anything else like that and you should be ok.....

Stay well away from 4.0.4 firmware and factory reset. Even with a custom kernel I think is a bad move to stay on it.
