Didnt take note of this EFS thingy despite rooted and running on custom ROM for weeks.

I guess I will do that once I got my phone back.
Thanks for sharing this tip.

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of rooting my phone to get rid of some unwanted applications like, vlingo and some other applications. I do not want to flash any custom roms though, purely freezing or uninstalling applications.

Few questions in mind:
-> how easy to root the samsung s2?
-> how easy to unroot the s2?
-> if rooted, and there's an update, can I update the firmware straightaway, or do I need to unroot first?

Thanks in advance.

just to answer the previous poster
1) easy
2) easy
3) you can update without unrooting
