Correct. I have the odined stock kernel and I still have su and root. Until someone leaks or releases a full stock recovery image, I don't know a way to un root.

It's posted in at least one of the kernel threads, probably the stock one.

Basically to unroot you need to rid your phone of all the su files. I don't remember exactly where the files are located but I am sure I saw it posted. Alternatively you could try installing the su.apk from the market or the dev's site and then uninstall it which might remove the files.

adb shell

then type:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

to enable write to system

then do:

rm /system/xbin/su
rm /system/bin/su

to remove su binaries then do:

rm /system/app/Superuser.apk

that will unroot ur phone fully.

Hmm - let's look at this.... you're trying to mount the system partition as yaffs2.... but yet you say the EpicTouch is all about ext4 (which you're actually correct about)..... so why would you mount it as yaffs2? That's the first thing causing some angst with people who know

The second thing - is the SGS2 does not utilize MTD memory blocks. The device doesn't magically utilize MTD blocks when USB debugging is off and another technology when USB debugging is on - not to mention how are you going to run those adb commands when USB debugging is off............?

Where are you getting this stuff?

You might want to familiarize yourself with the partition structure and type of your E4GT by performing this ADB shell command (make sure you have USB debugging ON for the best results):

Code:
adb shell cat /proc/partitions
Might shed some light on things for you.....
