Hello. I have seen a several different ways to go about un-rooting and ways to get the OTA. My question is, what is the best way to un-root and get 2.3.6? I am already rooted using bombaradier 3.5. I don't mean to make another thread about this again, but I am getting confused with all of the different postings and ways to go about this process. If someone could provide links to the most updated way to un-root and get 2.3.6, It would be a great birthday present for me. lol.
PS. I did get the OTA, but I froze it using Titanium. If that matters...
Thanks a Lot
Cleanest way is just to back up your apps with titanium backup, flash the stock rom, update, re-root, reinstall titanium and apps.
Or, just flash a new rom with update pre-installed and de-bloated.

I know of several users (including me) who just updated using Kies (and then rooted again via Odin). This is a no-wipe solution that requires re-root but old apps and data are preserved
My is rooted when i received the OTA update for 2.3.6. I did not unroot and let the update do their thing. After few minutes my SGS2 is 2.3.6 with working wifi calling. Note: Once you update you need to use the sim that came with the phone in order for wifi to work. Hope this helps.

Ummm, if you are using a custom ROM , trying to get the OTA could be very dangerous ... Better bet is just find an updated custom ROM and flash it ...
If you are going to go to stock, make sure you use Odin and not a "stock" rom. I was on Bombardier 3.5 and flashed Zedomax's stock rom with CWM, except the Synergy kernel stuck which caused a few problems. Then, I just flashed the 2.3.6 tar.md5 with Odin. Now everything is fine and I'm looking for a new ROM to flash.

Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Just a quick question. I am on the stock rooted EL29 rom. I used ODIN to do so. What I'm wondering is if there is a way to unroot without a computer. Mine crashed and I don't really have use of one. Any info would be appreciated.
one of the only ways I know is to have first used the auto root method. since you flashed an already rooted I would say mobile odin from the market would be the way to go and flash a stock tar. not rooted.
I'm running Stock EK02 rooted, but I keep getting the notification to update, and everybody knows you can't system update when rooted. So could somebody direct me to the right thread to update, but I won't lose any data? Thanks in advance!

If you want to do it without using CWM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
Use the NO DATA one. This will odin over a stock rooted EL29 which will not erase apps settings or contacts/messages as long as you use the second one no data.
However on a stock rooted system with no modifications you CAN OTA but you would lose root. I wouldnt risk it if your not sure. But i have and its normal to OTA from an EK02 rooted tar to non rooted EL29 but you lose root so thats not interesting anyways. Any removed apps, modified or missing files run a huge risk of bricking.
Ever since I flashed the Official T-mobile SGSii ICS, I have not be able to root or flash anything custom since then. When I use odin for anything other than official roms, it fails. I can't root it what so ever. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Are you using the correct files to flash with? Once your phone is updated to ICS you'll need some different stuff to get rolling from when you rooted GB. Try this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311194 and let me know if it works. I rooted the same night the update was rolled out so I no longer have anything. HTH
Sorry if this is a noob question, but...
I have the (professional) version of the Samsung Galaxy Note2 Toolkit and have used it to root my phone (stock ROM). The phone is currently build MA& and I figure it is about time I update to MC2. So, what is the easiest way? Do I first have to unroot (to stock), get the OTA update, then reroot? Or, is there an easier way?
Thanks.

Look around for the radios/firmware thread. There's an all-in-one flashable zip to get you to MC2 without unrooting.
TBH, there really isn't much benefit to MC2. Which is why many ROM devs haven't updated their ROMs since MA7-because not much meaningful changed. AMOF, some people like the MA7 modem firmware better than the MC2.
