Hello everybody,
First I'd like to thank to community for the hard work. I v read a countless amount of pages of this forum and I can't even imagine the time people spent helping on issues or writing tutorials.
So thank you if you re up to spend few minutes on my specific case (and sorry for the bad english).
Here is my device and the different version of kernel ...
1/ Rooting my device (tutorial in french translated from xda)
http://www.cnetfrance.fr/produits/guide-rooter-son-galaxy-s2-39763841.htm
S-Root version used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Everything went pretty well when I rooted the GS2. I got the Superuser app so i figure it's ok.
I just used a modified kernel found on xda who was corresponding the my base band version (just the PDA in Odin).
2/ Installing a new ROM (Cyanogenmod by Rom Manager)
I followed : http://www.redmondpie.com/install-cm7-on-galaxy-s2-using-rom-manager-how-to-tutorial/ and http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide (official guide) using Rom Manager premium.
When i tried to reboot in Recovery (manually or with Rom Manager), i can't find the "Install the zip" option, I have 4 available: "Update from the zip", the 2 wiping/delete options and the reboot.
So obviously if i try to wipe files, wipe the cache then to update with the zip I have the following Error:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
Do you have any idea what went wrong in the process ?
Should i flash the phone withOdin and change my base band version to another one ?
For info, I did the Permission Fix option in Rom Manager too. Didnt help.
Thanks a lot.
U need clockworkmod instaled first..

You didn't install ClockworkMod Recovery.
Thanks for theses answers but I think I installed it with Rom Manager and i flashed it to the last version.
(joined file 1 : cwm rom manager.jpg)
When i reboot in recovery mode here is the only options available (and it's the problem i pointed out) :

Maybe a problem with my SD card ?

As we've already said, you haven't installed CWM Recovery. You see at the top of your second photo where it says "Android system recovery (3e)"? That's stock recovery.
you can't install CWM recovery thru ROM manager.
just flash the CF Root Kernel for KI4 thru ODIN , you will have CWM recovery.
Hmm I understand about the CWM version I'm booting with, but as you can see on the first capture, my kernel version is a modified one i got after using Odin (puting this Kernel : GT-I9100_XXKI4_insecure.tar from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671).
I got the root access by S2 Root.
Ok I think I installed only the Kernel and not CF Root available here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I ll try to redo Odin and stuff and let you know if I'm still alive.
So it's not great right now. I have installed CF Root with Odin, so I had CWM on my phone (I could see the application). Then after reboot with CWM Recovery and installing Cyanogenmod, the phone doesnt want to start anymore.....
I tried to apply the insecure kernel again with Odin but still impossible to download. I'm stuck on the screen with the yellow sign and written Galaxy S2.
HALP !!
I just tried to put back the official firware version : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and put it in my phone with Odin.
Ok, I dont have the yellow sign anywore but the phone is still stuck on the boot screen (where it's written Samsung GALAXY s II)...
What should I try ?
I'm still able to boot with CWM recovery but I didn't make any backup and nothing work.
Do you think the phone is dead ?
5 posts in a row?
So, just to clarify, you've tried to install CM7, which amongst other things tells you to do a nandroid backup, and also to flash twice in succession. Did you do either of these things? The instructions are there to be followed, don't just ignore them.
Ok my bad I didn't backup anything because I had no data to backup. This was maybe a bad move...
Anyway, I tried to flash it twice yes. Right now, i'm working with a modified Kernel (with CF Root), and booting in CWM Recovery. When I want to flash again by installing from the .zip I get a Satus 7 Error.
In CWM, every advanced options are apparently available but I dont know anything about them.
And just so you know, on my SD Card i have 1 update.zip and the update-cm-7.1.0-Galaxys2.... .zip from Cyanogen.

Flash a stock rom with Odin and then root your phone again. Start reading and follow procedures when you want to flash custom roms again .See Intratechs`s thread for a stock rom
Thanks for your reply.
I did it, it didn't work, I mean i could flash with Odin but the reboot doesn't work : the start screen appeared without the yellow sign, but it's stuck on it.
--- update
FYI, I installed Rom Manager yesterday, it way interact in a bad way with CWM Recovery.
For now i can mount USB by CWM Recovery but cannot do anything else.
If you have a method to clean completely the phone ? Maybe the bootloader is broken...

Well....LOL
Total how many time have you used ODIN, for completing your task (Root & CWM)? in how many lines you can explain your steps?
How many PANIC situations have you passed through?
All this headache could have been avoided if you had searched XDA before rooting your Phone with such a prolonged methed. so please dont recomend the same to others...
Esiest and most followed method for rooting and CWM, is CF-Root, only single line instruction:
Pick the appropreat kernel and flash through ODIN....you have Root + CWM now
Yeah, ROM manager isn't exactly compatible for the S2, so it's not advised to use it. Better off with CF-ROOT and CWM kernel.

Unable to root Samsung Galaxy Star Pro Duos GT-S7262
Hey There,
I have tried almost all possible ways to root my Samsung Galaxy Star Pro Duos GT-S7262 , nothing seems to be working. I have stock ROM 4.1.2, Baseband s7262xxuanf1 with stock recovery. Plz refer attached pic for detailed info like kernel and baseband version etc. And i have proper drivers, I am very sure its not about the drivers.
1) Tried around 8 - 10 one click root software, like Unlock root, Kingo, Vroot, SRS root, One click root, rescue root, etc. But all failed.
2)Tried flashing custom recovery CWM for S6272 from various sources using Odin, dint work. Because when ever the phone reboots after the flash it reloads stock recovery. And if i try going to recovery without letting reboot it gives a white screen. And my stock recovery doesn't have the option of updating .zip from SD card.
3) Tried rooting using SU update with ADB from stock recovery by ADB updated. And in this case Signature varification fails.
4) Tried Towel method this doesn't work too.
PS- I dont care which recovery i end up with, i just want it to be rooted..

hey pal I've found a solution for this
just download this firmware and flash it through Odin...its pre rooted...you just need to extract and flash this firmware....just search the web "S7262 Root Firmware" but make sure to turn on the usb debugging mode and to install the latest Samsung usb driver which is Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones 1.5.45.0 (July 2014) before flashing !
After flashing the firmware just search for the supersu app in app drawer
and finally extract and flash cwm recovery....works like a charm !

Hello everyone,
I'm new to Note Edge (n915F) I'm not satisfied with my Note Edge battery so i decided to root my Note Edge but I failed in all the tutorials found on google or over all internet somehow i came to know how to root Note Edge F model. So I decided to share it those who also stuck with CF Auto Root. It's also doesn't work for me.
Here is easy steps for root.
1. Install CWM.(through latest Odin in AP tab)
2. Then copy SuperSU to your phone memory
3. Then reboot to recovery
4. Flash SuperSU through CWM (download from here)
5.Wipe Cache partition.
6. Then flash anMicky387_kernel_511.zip

Thank you for this guide. It helped me figure out what to do.
Have a question. Is the Micky387_kernel_511.zip only for android 5.11?
I currently have 5.01. If I want to upgrade my N915F to Stock 5.11 so I need to install this kernel before or after I install the OEM ROM?
Thank you.
Thats all basic:
Download Stock FW
Download latest ODIN 3.10.7
Download latest TWRP Recovery
Download Mickis 5.1.1 Kernel (if you need Root)
use ODIN to Install the Stock 5.1.1 FW
use Odin to instal TWRP
Flash Kernel with TWRP

Now you don't need to flash a 'permissive' firmware in step 6 (you can flash flash the zip of the new SuperSU 2.6x after reboot into TWRP/CWM recovery to get root).
You can also try to remove/de-active KNOX software flashing the file KNOX-FREE_TEKHD.zip By @TEKHD (at the same time than SuperSU 2.6x if you want) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347792751
I hope this help you with this and other security warning messages

It does not work on sm- n915fy with stock 5.1.1 . The flash recovery with odin is successful but when I turn on mode ' recovery comes out the message (in update system) and I still have the stock recovery
When using odin to flash recovery, untick the AUTOREBOOT option. When done, after pass appear, just remove the phone from cable and remove battery. Put it back to phone and reboot recovery. It worked for me...

Yes, when you flash a costum kernel you will lost Root. After flashing Micky's Kernel just flash the root again, and you have root again. It's not possible to reset ur Knox when you flash costum stuffs.. Simply just flash this attachment.

Hi guys.
I need help ergently.
First i´m sorry if i post in wrong section of the forum.
Now to my problem.
I am trying to root this mobile using odin to flash twrp and then in recovery flash supersu.
I have used google to find guides and even checked here, but no luck, that i have found i follow every step.
So what have i done?
i downloaded twrp (all of them just to be sure, and for xcover 3).
I downloaded odin, the last version.
I downloaded the last version of supersu.
I installed odin and followed a guide where i should put twrp in AP slot in odin i turned my phone in download mode and hit start, it passed and i removed usb cabel and pulled out the battery and tryed to enter recovery mode, but i got a message that says "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" and then nothing.
I saw a post that says that is because i have the wrong twrp file, ex. if i use twrp for android 4.4 but my system is 5.1 this will happen, so therefore i tryed all twrp.
I have tryed everything i can find, can anyone please help me?

That worked, it installed and so on.
But when i install twrp i still get "recovery is seandroid enforcing" when i try to get in to recovery.
But after a second i jump in to andrdoid's own recovery but i cant install supersu from that.
I should ad that after i flashed with odin from your link i flashed the latest twrp, that was correct or did i mess up somewhere?
Hi , flash this trwp recovery with Odin .
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/xcover3ltexx/twrp-3.1.1-0-xcover3ltexx.img.tar.html
After that pull out your battery and do this step:
Press and hold Volume UP key + Home Key
then put battery back on and press and hold Power key also
Release all key when you see Android TWRP Recovery.
Make BackUp if something goes wrong !
Hope it will work for you .

Hi.
Thanks for the reply.
I have already tryed twrp 3.1.10, but i tryed with your instructions as well.
But no it did not work, i tryed with auto restart option ticked in odin and without, but with no luck.
Im starting to wonder if it is possible to even root this phone?
I don't have that device to make a test , but probably twrp will not work on Android 5 , try to flash him back to KitKat and then flash the latest twrp recovery.
So if i flash kitkat and everything works well with twrp can i flash lollipop back and still have root?
Or do i need to keep kitkat?
And do you know where to find kitkat for my phone?
Here you can download kitkat , registar for free and click join 0, if you flash to lolipop back you lose Root Rights and also twrp because it will probably overwrite stock recovery from android 5 (Lolipop) .

Someone already posted pre-rooted firmware for your device , but do at your own risk because maybe that firmware will cause problem on your device !

Hi.
I followed your advice, but it didnt work.
When i flashed 4.4 then it got stuck on samsung logo, so i flashed back to 5.1 and i am now at point 1 again
Any other suggestions?
Hi , once again , try first to enable Enable USB Debugging you have on the internet about that , and try with other Kitkit version. Once you flash go to recovery mode and wipe cache partition .
Hi.
I have had USB debugging checked from start.
But nothing work, not even trying different types of firmware.
I'm on the brink to give up now, nothing I have tryed have worked, can it be unroot able?
My kid will be dissapointed, thanks for all the great advices you have given me.
And if anyone have other thougts of what to do i'm open to try it.
Hi.
Here is the hacked together twrp that works on sm-g388f lollipop 5.1. This is the only version that works, so don't update it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69813173&postcount=135
Rooting can be done by using the method that is provided on Samsung Xcover3 Development thread, by Matt07211 on the first post.
I recommend to read, especially those 3 first post very thoroughly and all the links that are in those posts.
You will find files for rooting, custom kernel and a version of xposed that works on g388f.
There is no custom roms for this device but if you do modifications that can be done with information provided in the developing thread, you'll have a device that has enough of free space, better batterylife, fairly good performance and holds up even in a more rough way of using a phone.
Hi , i have one question , i bought a galaxy xcover 3 from a guy , i was checking up the phone ect , magisk was installed exposed seems also ( i will tell you why ) but both of them have no user interface , ( i can see magisk as com.topjohnwu.magisk) , but there is no magisk app nor manager ( i checked all apps if its repacked ) also the mock app works ( guy used to work as delivery ) so fake gps works but also there is nothing shows xposed is installed ? how can that be possible ? or .. can you delete the app ( magisk and xposed ) after rooting and everything ?
