Rooting the Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo with a Macintosh
Thanks for this walkthrough.
I was very excited to rid my phone of all the pre-loaded bloatware and prepared to root it.
However, I couldn't get past the "load up Odin" stage in the above instructions. This is because Odin is PC only.
Does anyone know how I can root my phone using Macintosh? Ideally, I would prefer not to run bootcamp or parallels.
I downloaded Heimdall, but wasn't able to find instructions.
Can someone helpful please give me a walkthrough on how to root my Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo with a Macintosh?
KINGO ROOT worked for me, install kingo on you pc , connect you phone and click root

I screwed up my S2 when testing different ROM:s

Wipe it and then install rom from odin and after install wipe again
Thanks ... now the sun is starting to shine again.
Just some questions.
1) How do I wipe it out ... there is no option in Odin
2) Which ROM should I take:
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5.tar
Kernel_I9100XWLPG.tar.md5
My S2 was I9100XWLPG befor it died.
It never died!
Learn how to use Odin
Get stock rom from www.sammobile.com
Or use checkfus down loader.

this is not a rom its a kernel thats why you cant boot up after flashing
Thanks guys ... here is what I did:
1) Booted S2 into recovery mode.
2) Chose wipe data / factory reset
3) Auto rebooted
4) Booted into download mode
5) started Odin 1.85 (tried also 3.04, same result)
6) for PDA I took CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5.tar which worked fine before I messed up
7) Odin went OK telling me kernel loaded & passed
8) now when I power on I only get Samsung logo and it powers off
So where did I go wrong ?
Should I use Heimdall instead of Odin ?
If i am not wrong you are flashing kernel not the whole rom.Remember till the time download mode is accessible your s2 is alive.Dont panic and mess up more.Just download a stock rom from sammobile and flash using odin.

If you were able to get into recovery just flash a rom. You don't have to go as far as a stock Rom if you don't want to. In download mode flash a recovery with Odin and then boot up into the recovery and flash the rom you want. That's it

Good to hear that the proper solution to your problem is being done. I had mine in an boot loop, while testing various roms. It wouldn't go pass the boot animation, just kept loading it over and over again. Then I did an "wipe data" and reinstalled rom and voila, my problem was solved as well
Yup all is not lost until download mode is lost.
Once got scared on kernel panic mode but reflashed and BAM

Hi all.....I have the Gal W and my wife has an S2. I recently rooted my phone and flashed CM9 to it. Everything I've done to my phone, I've done without Odin (just couldn't get it to work).
My wife has seen how my phone operates (nova launcher, lack of bloatware etc) and has decided she wants the same for her phone....I'd like to do this for her but I WILL NOT use Odin. Is there any other option to allow me to accomplish this.....btw if it's important, her S2 is locked to 3UK and originally came with gingerbread (has had OTA upgrade to ICS).
So to surmise...
I need a rooting zip that I can flash with stock recovery
And info about CWM for S2 for possible custom rom flashing......all WITHOUT Odin......many thanks...Keith

Simple way to root and unroot stock kernel without flashing insecure kernel.
Don't worry about custom counter and yellow triangle, with this method they never appear, because we only rooting, it's a rooting script not a custom kernel.
This rooting script included Busybox installer.
Rooting
Download this File first and put in your SDCARD
- CWM via stock recovery or download zip from http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
- SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
Reboot to recovery.
Choose apply update from external storage.
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
Choose install zip from sdcard or external SD
Choose and Install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
Reboot
You are done and now your device is Rooted
Unroot
Download this File first and put in your SDCARD
- CWM via stock recovery or download zip from http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
- SU-Uninstaller-Signed.zip
Reboot to recovery.
Choose apply update from external storage.
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
Choose install zip from sdcard
Choose and Install SU-Uninstaller-Signed.zip
Reboot
You are done and now your device is Unrooted
Tested on latest stock Galaxy S II ICS rom.
Tested on latest Galaxy Note by some user (thanks for report)
Note: This method should work for other device with ICS rom, check CWM that compatible for your device here http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager

I rebooted the phone into recovery and the CWM screen had been replaced with the stock recovery screen.

Hi mate, I asked her about that and she said that it took her long enough to 'like' ICS after the update from GB. What she wants, is for me to get rid of the bloatware (Gemini app manager) Install a root only launcher (nova), apply a root only theme on top of that (crimson cobalt) and stop the popup ads (adaway)....while keeping it all ICS based. So all I need is root access that doesn't disappear in normal boot mode.......
CM9...I don't HAVE to.....I just.....can..
If so then d/l & flash dorimanx kernel

Hello Gentlemen,
Last time I managed to root my device Samsun galaxy S III (GT-I9300) via CF-Root 6.4 and it was successfully rooted,
This was the last time it has been rooted, afterwards, I upgraded and flashed a Jelly Bean 4.1.1 via Odin and found out that Root has GONE !!!
That's okay, but the most amazing problem is, the device does never get rooted no matter how many times I try to root it via the same method mentioned above (CF-Root 6.4),
I though afterwards that this is because CF-Root needs to be updated or something, so I reverted back to ICS 4.0.4 by flashing a stock md5 ROM over.
I tried the CF-Root 6.4 and found out it does not work anymore, please help me gentlemen as I spent the last night trial & error, never succeeded.
I am doing all of this just because I want to flash the HD 14 Android Revolution ROM made by Mike here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334
I hope there was an md5 or tar file (Odin flashable) so that it could be much easier to flash for people who are stuck with this situation.

Can you see the su app? If not try installing it
similar problem
Hi, Im having a similar problem, I was rooted, upgraded to 4.1.1 through kies and it was rooted no more. I rooted it again and no problem. I tried a custom rom and it had an issue with wifi so I went back to stock. Now Ive loaded the stock back on and after wiping/factory reset and clear cache it still says Im running a custom binary, system status is custom also, so trying to root it again so I can reset the flash counter and load my backup but it keeps getting stuck on set up connection on odin and eventually fails.
Ive been at this all afternooon with out much luck, can anyone provide me with some guidance on this?

After flashing CF-Root with Odin, your phone should restart in custom recovery to install SuperSU and CWM app
If it's not, try that:
-Flash CF-Root with "auto-reboot" disabled in Odin
-once flash is done, unplug your phone from the computer
-restart in recovery with VolUp+Power+Home
It should trigger the apps installation process

I finally got it to flash the .tar file in odin, in odin I unpluged the phone after hitting start ( it was just in SetUpConnection doing nothing ) and when I plugged in straight away it started doing its thing. However it didnt go through and load the SU etc. So I did it over again using the above method and it worked:good:. So thanks to you Mopral!!:laugh:

But this guide after rooting process will be same to flash the Custom ROM on other devices as well.
Rooting of GB devices
I'm not responsible for any harm to your device in this process, you are doing it on your own risk. By doing this you're voiding warranty of your product.
2.3.3/2.3.6 User should have to take a look on Chainfire's CFRoot method. However 2.3.3 can be rooted through recovery but 2.3.6 can't be without CFRoot method.
Needed tool for rooting GB
PC
Samsung USB drivers
Odin3
CFRooted stock kernel
Instructions-
Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
(USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
Start ODIN
Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
Put your phone in download mode
(USB) Connect the phone to your computer
Make sure repartition is NOT checked
Click the START button
Wait for the phone to reboot
Done
Now you have rooted phone with custom recovery. Thanks to @Chainfire for his awesome work.
Rooting of ICS
So for rooting the SGS2 we have a lots of guides but there is the much safe way to root it flashing the script via Stock recovery. So Philz has overcome to this problem with his awesome Kernel and with this thread named [ICS/JB]Universal Rooting for most phones, Any ROM, now with CWM6.
Instructions-
Copy the Root_XXX.zip file you downloaded to externalsd card
Boot into stock recovery (volume up+home+power), and select "apply update from external storage". Now select the Root_XXX.zip file downloaded above and you are rooted
To unroot, do the above steps and replace the file Root_XXX.zip by the attached Unroot_SuperUser-Busybox-Uninstaller-Update2-signed.zip. It will delete superuser, su and busybox packages.
Download links-
Root_SuperSU.0.98-Busybox.1.20.2-signed.zip
Unroot_SuperUser-Busybox-Uninstaller-Update2-signed.zip
Thanks to @Phil3759 for his awesome thread. Now you need custom kernels which should have the custom recovery, for that you can use DorimanX or Siyah kernel which are brickbug free.
Or you can just download the PhilzKernelCWM.zip with your matched code or at least similar kernel code and put it on your external SD card and then reboot into recovery by Holding the three combo key (Volumeup + Home + Power) and then choose option “Install Update zip” and choose the PhilzCWM.zip and flash it. After flashing done, you have rooted your Phone successfully with SuperSU installed. Now reboot to the recovery again and backup your ROM.
For JB release rootingJust flash the philz kernel from the stock recovery and you are rooted.
Now time to Backup your current ROM before flashing the new Custom ROM on your device, it is recommended in case when something happen bad. If you are running 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 then the backup process is very simple just reboot into recovery and then touch the Backup option and that’s all, your all apps, contacts, sms and data will be backed up by default, and this backup will be placed on external sd card in Clockworkmod/Backup path by default.
But if you are running JB 4.1.2 then the backup job is not easy on all recovery’s. There is an extra folder called Preload is very important one where your all system apps have been placed, which is not included in simple backup process. So the drill starts here…..Reboot into recovery select option “Backup and Restore”
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now select the option “Advance Backup and Restore”
Now select the “Custom Backup Job”. There you have tick the “Preload” folder and then scroll down and “Start custom Backup job” And then it will ask where you want to store the backup on you “Intenal/External Stroage”. After selecting the storage path it will start the backup process. When it finished you are ready to install the new ROM.
Note: If you don’t want to do this manually then I recommend the Apolo kernel which can backup the Preload by default no need of custom backup
NOTE: Before doing the below steps, backup your all apps and data using “Helium” or “Go backup” from play store to restore them on your newly flashed ROM. As after wipe data/reset you will lost all your contacts, Sms’s, and app and their data.
Now select the option “Wipe Data/ Factory reset” and then choose the second option “Clean to Install a New ROM”.
Note: I’ve seen this option in Philz only which is for Samsung only, non Samsung users have to select the first option and then follow these steps:
Wipe cache
Advanced/Wipe Dalvik cache
Now Select the option “Install Zip” and choose your zip from either Internal SD card or External SD Card wherever you have put the downloaded ROM zip file and flash it. Let’s finish the process and now reboot your system, it will take about 5-10 Min on first boot so don’t panic.
My credit and thanks
A big thanks to my NeatROM family.

Hey avirk, nice job. :thumbup:
3 things to mention:
1. There's no Philz kernel for GB ROMs.
2. They will end up with Superuser, not SuperSu
3. I think after ticking preload in Custom backup job, it is a good idea to Save Philz settings because it needs to stay ticked for restoring backup with preload included as well.
Cheers.
Nice Avirk, good luck :thumbup:

Hmm, For GB link edited with CFroot, and there is any .ini file is missing on my phone so I'm not able to save the settings for Philz so couldn't take any SS for that. If anyone can provide me SS I'll edit the guide again. :good:

Do i need to install custom recovery like other phones or unlock boot loader to install custom roms?
So ur guide means,
1- install kernel via phone's current stock recovery
2- back up current stock rom "apparently ics for me"
3- place new custom rom zip i got from forum on sd card
4- go to restore factory and format
5- open phone's based recovery mode and choose install zip from sd? And flash rom
That's it? If yes, do i need to reinstall zip kernel to get root again?
Thx dude a lot u r a life saver

If you are on ICS then download the philz kernel and flash it under stock recovery, if possible see if there is the philz available for your firmware. Read the Philz thread carefully.
Place the zip of rom on your sd you got from forum.
After flashing the philz your phone is rooted and you have custom recovery.
Just reboot to recovery again and you will see it.
When you will backup it will backup your current kernel and recovery automatically which would be philz.
If your phone is not locked by any carrier then you don't need to unlock its bootloader its already unlocked.
Do a factory reset from the recovery not from the phone.
Wipe cache and then under Advanced wipe dalvik cache, strongly recommended to not get the bootloop.
Now flash the ROM zip and reboot the phone after completing the flash of zip.
Note: Please read the OP carefully how can you get back your apps and data.
If still have any doubt just ask me without any hesitation. Good luck.

If you will install a custom ROM like CM, JellyBam, SlimBean(aosp/aokp based), Or my favourite NeatRom(Sammy based custom rom) you don't need to root them again they are all rooted.
After flashing any of these ROM your current kernel will be overwrite by these ROM's default kernel which comes with CWM 6.+. So no need to install the custom recovery again.
And you can't install a ROM with stock recovery you need a custom recovery. If I'm not clear you can ask any time.
It's much much better, I was going to send you a PM about GB root but now it's done, great job mate, really great

Dear all mega 5.8 member, since shabbypenguin (thank you so much) had make CWM for our device, i think maybe we should ask XDA to give us a different thread instead of mix with mega 6.3 thread.... sorry for the poor English

Many thanks for this. I recall some exchanges in this forum when someone said their would "never" be a Recovery for the I9152. I told him never to say "never". You proved me right. Many thanks once again (I have clicked the "Thanks" button).
There is nothing called "never" in the android world. Just needs the correct knowledge

stop extracting the image file.
i submitted my device tree to have CWM made officially, dees_troy has made a test build of twrp and should have that done official in a few days. that means you can flash CWM via rom manager, twrp via goo manager. and enjoy all 3 kinds of recovery
