I suggest if you want to root or unroot you use Super One Click, it's easy and efficient.. Btw, I followed this video and to me its the best one out there, easy to follow with clear demonstrations ... He also shows you how to flash CWM recovery.. Hope it helps.. Root and unroot S2

Ok. When you want to unroot, flash back your ori kernel and delete superuser.apk in /system/apps. Why not just leave it rooted? This post has been edited by antt00: Feb 15 2012, 12:17 PM

Technically, once rooted you already void your warranty.  even if you unroot it. What virus? Dun go installing weird unknown apps or pirated apps and it will reduce the risk of this.

Online game? If local game, once you unroot (reflash stock rom), you'll lose your save data right? And you can't use titanium backup to restore it if you're unrooted

And you can't use titanium backup to restore it if you're unrooted Technically you dun need to reflash stock rom to unroot. Just flashing stock kernel and removing superuser should do. So you data will remain.
