Hi,
A friend got a Galaxy S ii form China and i just saw it has NO GOOGLE APP, not even google market.
I want to root the phone but it has CZKG4 Gingerbread i am updating to CZKH2
1 how to root it? where can i find the kernel?
2 is there a way to install google apps without rooting it?
thank u guyz.
1. use chaindire method to root. Just send him the kernal from kh2 and ask him if he will make a cf root for it and then find it and follow instructions in this thread.

2. you should be able to download the apk on your pc and use kies to push it to your phone to install.

Hello.
I need access to a file, but on several sites on google - all say that i need to root...
So i want to root my phone, but still keep the "official" android (dont want CyanogenMod etc.)
But im really insecure on how to root my phone - and how risky is it?
Can you please provide me with a guide (with pictures please) on how to root it.
PS: Can i still update my android, if i root the phone?
Will all the data on the phone be deleted? like reinstalling windows....

You should have posted in galaxy s2 section but:
You can keep stock android, just follow this link to root your S2 and it will be fine. There is also video tutorial in the link
You won't be able to update your phone with Software Update but you can always find the latest firmware for S2 from SamFirmware
The sam firmware website is where you can find all the stock firmware for the S2
Your files will be fine such as music pictures etc they will not be wiped and it's not risky to root your phone with the link above
If you have any other questions just ask

Kernel?
Hey.
What is the kernel doing? is that another rom or so? :S
Also heard alot of rumors about the Odin - that is was unstable and such, can you confirm that?

Hi, two questions please ,
Do you try this method ?
How you root after update ?
Thank you
You need to install four APKs in order
•Google Services Framework
•Google Play Services
•Google Account Manager
•Google Play Store
The problem is knowing which versions of each file you need for your device. Root would not be required but you would have to allow unknown sources.
HI XDA,
I used to read your threads whenever I need any help regarding root or jailbreak phones. Now I got a tablet from Indonesia, which seems to be Samsung but I think it's Chinese because it don't have Google services such as playstore etc, now I want to install GAPPS in it(i have tried to install apk of gapps but it didn't worked), as it is so much difficult to install apks for my nephew who use this tablet. I would like to have complete procedure to unlock it, root it , install recovery and custom rom if it is needed. I'm going to share some pictures of this tablet which might help to identify it.
Device named as Samsung T950S
Anyone??? Please help me

I know this phone must be rootable. I have tried some one-click root tools, no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction: do I need to root this phone to install GApps? I think I must install TWRP and SuperSU. Does any one know if root access is blocked? Its a nice compact phone, but I need Google and Chrome to make it all tick. Thanks!

I've been online searching endlessly! The company hasn't even given us a firmware for it.....
Everything is possible to root. Just have to wait for the right guys to get their hands on one. I've found 1 link in here that lets you install a Google alternative to play, but it's still hard to use the phone normally with a Google account. I love the phone, but the company maybe one that is not good with support...
Here's the link to the play store alternative.
