OK my mistake,

Hi
Can anyone do a simple rooted version please or let me know how
by simple i mean with added su and Superuser.apk only
I see the attachment but prefer to install with odin a prerooted version to save my binary counter
Basically previously
a)I installed a pre rooted stock rom
b)then in phone used terminal to install the CWM recovery
- no effect on counter - great - and that is how my device is now
but now I am unsure the best possible way to keep the binary counter zero
To keep binary counter unchanged/clean can I?
1) install stock with odin then install zip with CWM recovery a
or
2)install stock recovery in terminal / then install pre-rooted rom / then install CWM via terminal

ok so option 1) would increase counter because it recognising non stock recovery? ok
but option 2) means I need a prerooted ROM so I don't see the point of installing supersu via CWM after installing a prerooted stock rom, and if you mean normal stock rom I fail to see how terminal will perform this function without root. - I'm slightly confused -
Oh wait is your link a pre-rooted rom? will it show in binary counter?
Anyway I suppose people are waiting for a BTU region to come out

dont worry about the binary counter increasing, just do whatever you like and after you're done rooting, just install triangle away and reset the counter, free from the xda thread

Thanks man!

It's a limitation created by Samsung in the new leak that disables secure storage whenever a kernel not Signed by Samsung is used.

You could flash stock kernel after rooting.

Are you on LP6 firmware?
This is how I rooted ics:
1 Flashed latest ics XXLPH via Odin.
2 Rooted with cf-root.
3 Installed mobile odin.
4 Copy the Code part of XXLPH to phone sd.
5 Open mobile Odin and select kernel, navigate to Code file.
6 Select Flash Firmware.
Might be an easier way but that's what I did.

I have the same issue with the official firmware ICS LPQ 4.0.3 + CF Root.
Why do you need the Mobile Odine ?
Isn't possible to use the classic odin which runs on the PC ?
Hi all,
I've just fixed this issue.
Solution is this: You need to install new CF kernel version 5.4 recently updated. With this update you could download your apps from Google Play.
ChainFire said:
"ro.secure is also set to 1 again, because some apps check for this and refuse to run otherwise. I have patched ADB to run as if ro.secure was set to 0, though, so you still have root from ADB shell, and ADB remount also still works."
Mirror to CF Kernel 5.4:

CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.tar (it includes root, busybox, CWM Manager and new SuperSU 0.80)

Agreed the new Kernel version is working, I only had one app that was refusing to install, It works now. I installed the new one post installing the new Omega 5.0 ICS Rom.

[Q] After reading a few guides, I'm still a little confused (CWM & rom related q's)

[Q] After reading a few guides, I'm still a little confused (CWM & rom related q's)
Guys I apologize for the long, and n00b post, I have no experience with this whatsoever, and this is an expensive device, i want to make the process as safe as possible, so I would really appreciate if you can help me clear my confusion.
I own S3 GT-I9300, which I want to change it's rom to one of the stock roms of my country, device purchased in Australia, and I'm having some issues.
Now, I understand I need CWM to be able to back up my phone, and Odin to install, but here is what I'm confused about:
1. There is a pack by ChainFire which installs CWM and roots your device, this is nice, however I now learned that the CF pack contains a relatively old version of CWM, and if I want to install the latest one 6.0.1 if I understand correctly, then I need to install it by myself.
- what's the difference between the new CWM version and the one in CF's pack?
- The CF pack installs root to your device, do I need to do this myself if I install only the CWM recovery?
- Can I install an 'official' (i.e. not a mod) rom without rooting my device?
- Is rooting reversible?
- Is the latest version of CWM the one which supports touch?
2. I found many links, but I'm not sure which one is considered a safe ones here so I would appreciate trusted links to:
- CWM 6.0.1 (or later?) which supports touch for GT-I9300
- Odin - the version I need
And finally, if I understood correctly the way to do the procedure itself is (roughly):
-get Odin, CWM, and rom
-put device in recovery mod, open Odin -> PDA, flash CWM, reboot
-Back up device with CWM
-put device in download mod, open Odin -> PDA, flash ROM, reboot
Is that right?

Thanks for your reply but I'm still a little confused.
You said not to use CWM because it doesn't work. Can you please elaborate and suggest some alternative?
Then you said to use CWM for backup... Am I missing something? you said not to use CWM... Are there different uses for CWM?
Also you said I don't need to root my device, but then in the procedure I described you said that I need to first root my device.
Like I said I might be missing something because to me it seems like things are contradicting. I would appreciate if you can clear that up.
Thanks again.

[Q] [HELP] Triangle Away on PAC ROM

Hello, i recently customized my Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 STOCK rom to PAC ROM with 4.4.2 Kitkat and CWM recovery running on it.
What I am trying to do is to remove the triangle and run on the PAC ROM at the same time.
Things I tried:
1. Install triangleaway.apk from Chainfire
(Did not work because the file won't open. I assume it's because i'm on custom rom)
2. Copied that method from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583978
but i can't seem to find any reset binary counts in the new CWM recovery as I am running on the KitKat compatible version.
*NOTE*: THE TRIANGLEAWAY.APK FILE WOULD NOT EVEN LET ME OPEN UP. I HAVE ALREADY TAP ON UNKNOWN SOURCES ETC. And phone is properly rooted with busybox installed. Thank you!
Things I want to know:
1. Is it possible to reset binary counts on a custom rom? If yes, how?
(I think there's a param.tar file in the Chainfire thread but does that work with my custom rom when i flash it in my Odin? If yes can someone provide me with exact procedures on doing it?)
2. Why can't the triangleaway.apk app work on the custom rom?

Hi guys, so i found out the real reason was because i could not open .apk files from the BROWSER DOWNLOADS. I needed to open the .apk file via FILE BROWSER. Really weird why .apk files could not open up using the browser downloads. Thanks again.
These might be useful to you..

[ICS/JB][ROOT]SuperSU from Stock Recovery

Rooting Guide
Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100*​

This is SuperSU port meant to be used as a root. I converted it from sh script to edify script for flashing it from Stock Recovery No increase in binary counter. I signed this by the powerful tool by Ryuinferno (Sign-em) so you can flash without E: signature verification failed
From old SuperSU versions to new easy
No increase in binary counter
No yellow traingle
How To Use:
Download attached zip and move it into your external microsd card
Reboot into recovery
choice "apply update from sdcard"
Select the zip and click install
For Unrooting Flash UnRoot.zip which is attachment
Thanks For Reading :good:
PS : You can use it for I9100/G/T/P/i777 and all other s2 variants

Arent you still going to have to flash a custom kernel, without the emmc bug, which will (usually) come with su anyways?
I guess what im saying is, while this can give you root without increasing the binary counter, it will still leave you with a buggy stock kernel....
For me, from stock, i do the following:
1) Flash Philz kernel and recovery from stock recovery. (wont increase binary counter, and includes CWM recovery)
2) Reboot
3) Back up efs (important)
Then either stay on stock, reboot into recovery and flash Dorimanx 8.43 branch (with su included)
Or
reboot into recovery and flash custom ROM (usually with root)
And then update su (superuser or SuperSU (better))
Thats not exactly hard to do.

I created this thread for who wants only root (without flashing kernel, using odin and flashing custom rom)
I think it will not leave any bug (It's only copy files) and will not do anything to kernel
and your way is good but it's still replacing kernel ( duh )

[Q] PhilZ-CWM installation

Hi,
I have some questions concerning the installation of PhilZ-CWM. My phone details are at the end of the message. Thanks in advance for your help !
1) Kernel overwrite
From what I understood of traditional CWM, when installing on an i9100, it overwrites the current kernel (which would mean my actual ROM, very old one, would become unusable). Does PhilZ-CWM behave the same ?
2) What to download ?
I looked at the PhilZ-CWM thread for Galaxy S2 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/philz-cwm6-stock-kernel-cwm6-root-exfat-t1877270 ) but I'm not sure what to download. I saw there are 2 installation methods : via zip on external sd or via odin. It seems the first method also roots the phone and I would like to avoid that (at least on the short term, as my phone OS is out of control).
What version do I need to download on Goo.im ? The latest one (6.48.4) ? Or are there any incompatibilities with my actual phone setup (particularly the fact that it's running gingerbread) and I need to download an old one ?
3) 2.3.3 support ?
After installation, will I be able to boot into my ROM and have a fully functional phone ? Or will I have to do a full backup and install a compatible ROM ?
PS : what I can do right now with my phone (apart from recovery menu actions) is very limited because of its current state ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/low-memory-uninstall-app-connect-adb-t2836974 )
Phone details :
Galaxy S2 (i9100)
Android 2.3.3 / official ROM (as always, customized by the cellular company, but only on apps I suppose)
Version : Gingerbread.XWKE2
Kernel : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE2-CL187606 [email protected] #2

Everytime you flash a Recovery, the kernel also gets overwritten. The Kernel and the Recovery are tied together.
However, the PhilZ-CWM you mentioned, is using a Stock-Kernel, which is very stable and safe.
The Kernel Version is sometimes important.
If you are planning to upgrade to ICS/JB, I would use (at least) an ICS Kernel.
If you are planning to keep Gingerbread, I would use a Gingerbread Kernel, to avoid instabilities.

Usually the method doesn't matter, but in this case the updater-script might be doing more, than the odin flash.
But as far as I know, the rooting behaviour can be changed using philz_installer.
I prefer the "zip on external sd" method, because this method is using an updater-script, which have some safety checks.
But you should also be safe, when using odin.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm afraid, that there is no gingerbread version, in this thread.
If you want a Stock Kernel and CWM you can try this thread. Don't be afraid of the rooting, you can always unroot your device at any time(*).
There is also a package which is using your Kernel (KE2). This package would therefore flash the same kernel, and you should have no problems with your ROM.
But any Gingerbread Kernel from this thread would be ok, I guess.
(*) When you root your device, a system binary called "su" is installed to /system/bin and a symbolic link at /system/xbin is created.
Nothing more, nothing less. If you remove these files, your phone is unrooted.

Flashing a GB Kernel and using a GB Rom should cause you no problems.
I'm not quite sure about ICS Kernels and GB Roms.
As far as I know, ICS is using a new file system (ext4), and it's very likely that you will not be able to boot your GB Rom.
Backup is always recommended.

PS : what I can do right now with my phone (apart from recovery menu actions) is very limited because of its current state ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/low-memory-uninstall-app-connect-adb-t2836974 )
Phone details :
Galaxy S2 (i9100)
Android 2.3.3 / official ROM (as always, customized by the cellular company, but only on apps I suppose)
Version : Gingerbread.XWKE2
Kernel : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE2-CL187606 [email protected] #2

You can root your device using a One-Click-Root for i9100 (this app is using the Exynos Exploit), and then delete the apps yourself with Root Explorer or ES Explorer.
You can delete the "su" binaries afterwards, and you have the same system as before.
Furthermore, flashing a Custom Recovery isn't necessary at all.
You could flash a Gingerbread Custom Recovery of your choice, make the changes you want in your system.
Then unroot the device and flash your Stock Kernel again. You can extract the Stock Kernel from the Official Firmware Updates.
Sidenote:
Flashing a custom kernel, can increase your custom binary counter (visible in Download Mode).
A stock kernel, shouldn't increase that counter. If your counter gets increased you can use the TriangleAway App.
However in my experience, flashing a Custom Recovery + Stock Kernel didn't increase my counter.
Hope this helps :victory:

It's always good practise to update your phone to the latest official release first then install a custom rom. I would recommend doing this to prevent any issues along the way of flashing a new rom.
