HELP: settings icon gone after root

[emosion215]

Hi, my name is ivan and i have a galaxy s2 from canada. im gonna be completley honest here. After rooting my phone, the settings icon was gone. i didnt care for awhile but after i few days, i recently came across lag and was forced to unroot and reset my phone. thinking that would do the job and bring my settings back, sadly it didnt. I factory reseted my phone but the settings icon was still not there. pls help.

Sounds like a bad flash or conflict after rooting.
I would flash firmware again and then root using this method.

Are you able to add the settings shortcut from the widgets menu? If you have a settings widget.

From the home screen press "Menu" key then you should have "Settings" as an option pop up......

hi, thx for the response. I factory reseted my phone again and rooted my device with the method you kindly gave me. The settings icon is still nowhere to be found. Any more suggestions?

As suggested by greenman above, you will have to manually flash your fw with Odin.
