Greetings guys...
Firstly... Am no new to this thing... The reason am posting this question is that with so many ways to ROOT the SGS-2, am really hardbricked in my head
Please pardon me if this is something i shouldn't be asking here... :angel:
Alright now...
A month ago... I helped one of my friends to ROOT his SGS-2 with the Samsung_Quick_Root method...
But now... Am not able to do that with my SGS-2 running the Stock Firmware XWLP7 (4.0.3) i bought lately using the same method... :crying:
So... If anybody could just be kind enough to help me root my device... I actually want the CWM installed root...!!!
Plzzzzzzzzz guyssssssssss........... Help Me...!!! :angel:
Thanks in advance...

Relax pal, its damn simple:
As you said, you also want CWM, so your best bet is to flash an already rooted with permanent cwm kernel,a very good contestant of this is Siyah kernel.
Just download it (www.gokhanmoral.com), flash it through odin and you will instantly gain cwm+root.
Let me know if you encounter any further issues

The easy way is to flash a custom ROM via Odin.
Try Litenin ROM it'll get rid of all the Orange crap they have put in to your phone
Thats some nice original development you got going on there
Reported.
Q&A is this way

as i told you in the other thread. just flash hardcore's kernel via Odin and you should be good to go.
maybe its noob ,, but if i want to install ICS on my galaxy s2 .. do i have to flash a new kernel ??
+
before installing the ICS i want to backup the current ROM thats is Stock rom "company rom"
so i think i need to flash a kernel with cwm first then do a backup .. then flash ICS kernel then installing the ICS rom ??
Look at my guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625184

Root is not needed kernel is part of the firmware .
Flash a stock Samsung rom from Stock rom thread or from posted ICS roms in General via Odin .
Alternative wait for your phones upgrade via KIES or use Checkfus to download firmware .
Root is only required if you are flashing a custom firmware that requires CWM and Root and most do .
jje
After installing kies ,,, a frimware update show up ,,
now i think its better to update the frimeware throw kies right ??
and is it possible to install ics with kies ??? or i need to flash costume kernel with CWM recovery !!
thanks in advance
ok
personally I would look at Chainfire topic on easy rooting etc, or you could use SuperOneClickRoot & then install any number of custom roms from the I9100 android development section here at XDA

Ask your "mum" or your "little sister" to do it for you.
But they must remember how to unlock "your" phone.
You, sir, are full of it.

A factory reset that could have been avoided by doing the account recovery procedure provided in the other thread.... But whatever. Enjoy your new phone.

Here's another self-important precious who also thinks only nice things should be posted because it's his thread.
At least he hasn't posted a pack of lies all day.
You should learn how to concoct slightly more plausible lies - think of all the time you could have saved instead of frantically editing your other posts.
And when you're done, spelling lessons would be useful.
Then I'll behav. Shud I?

I have read about an OTA for our 10.1v with ICS 4.04?
http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?p=5152857
Does anyone knows anything about this?
Enviado desde mi GT-P7100 usando Tapatalk 2
no idea but i would love to hear future confirmations on this!
I sent an email in Spanish to the guy to know if his camera is working...if so, we got a winner. Does someone know how to extract a rom ?
Also, did you notice the 3.xx kernel ?
yeah the 3.xx kernel is what caught my eye in the first place....although this could be just a huge fake and someone just wanting to have some attention.
It should be possible to make a tutorial for the guy to make a flashable .zip file so that we could at least get this rom via CWM if it is indeed what he claims it is.
If this really is an OTA update everything should be working including the camera.
What I am really finding weird though is that he was the only one reporting this OTA update, there are no websites reporting it and there seems to be a big lack of information. I feel like contacting Samsung and asking directly.

I spoke to this one several months ago. When we were all waiting for 3.2.1 update, he already got it, and he was the first one I know to report he got the update via OTA. Many people didn't believe him, because all of us got it a long time after, but, there it was, finally the upgrade came... so, what I hope is that the same will happen this time, let's be faithfull. I have already asked him about the camera, which happens to be the great topic!!
Hi friends. I'm Raindog- from Htcmania.
I will be happy to help. But I'm not root (nor want)
Do you know any way to extract what you need without root?
Tnx for joining us!!

Heyy um do you have fastboot access ?? then maybe you could fastboot recovery.img and backup through CWM.
So Raka answered me over at htcmania and is willing to extract if I told him how to...so...how to ? :laugh:
I'm going to read the board instructions again and try to guide him in my best Spanish !

So Raindog, do you know how to start ? I'm willing to go step by step with you...I think we all are...as what you got in your hands is like the holy grail for us ! :angel:
Few questions :
- Do you confirmed your bootloader is unlocked (when booting the tablet do you see an unlock icon on the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v" logo ?)
- Do you have root access ?
- Is fastboot working ?
If someone is already working with you on this, tell me, I'll let you guys work it out. If not, and if you don't how to respond to the last two questions, we'll start working on that...
Thanks !

Camera working
Right now, it doesn't matter if it's final, o beta, or anything else. Raka/Raindog has already shown me on htcmania that the camera is working, so, ladies and gentleman..., the holy grail has been found!! And who could have ever thought that 7100 owners were going to have ICS working before even 7500 ones...
I can't wait to seeing ICS fully working on my old, forgotten and understimated tab...:fingers-crossed:
Hi guys,
I have a samsung galaxy s2 and i need to root this phone. It is running ics 4.0.4. I read in the threads that rooting 4.0.4 will cause trouble.
Is there any other way to root other than downgrading to 4.0.3
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys

Flash Odin version of Siyah kernel (search for how to/which kernel you need to use). Done. Rooted phone + CWM, you can flash whatever you like/wipe till your bum gets red.

What thread/reply have you been reading because their talking crap or you have mis-read/misunderstood.
To root your device, install cwm all you need to do is flash Siyah kernel via ODIN or one of other various ways. This has already been discussed over and over again so we dont need yet another topic just to repeat everything again.
#1 rule by XDA is to search and read topics before creating them.
This has already been discussed over and over again

By flashing a kernel like siyah v6 b5+ via odin.
Thanks for the answers!
Now first of all, ExynosAbuse would be perfect but does that support 4.1.2?
Also what comes to sidyah, does that support phones that are sim-locked? If so, how can i get rid of the operator sim-lock and is this risky?
And for the last: if i root my phone, can i get official updates in the future from samsung? Cause i don't wanna mess with the style that i got in my jelly bean quite like it, just want to get superuser-access.
So the app that i'm searching for is one click root that supports updates in future for 4.1.2. Is it impossible?
Thanks!
I'm with theunderling here.
I've always flashed via Odin woithout any problems and it very quick too. If you do everything right, it shouldn't take more than a minute, dead serious. 1 minute. Okay maybe more, but maximum 2 according to me
Just download tar or md5 file. Open Odin. Put the file in PDA. Then start. (and make sure Re-Partition is NOT checked)
(Im not going to give you step by step instructions cause that is for you to find out But i've actually helped you out alot
Good luck, and post for further question. Just dont forget to search before.
*EDIT* Yea, siyah is one of the best kernels, and dont worry everythin should be the same. You can get siyah kernel from gokhanmoral.com
