Hey guys,
I recently discovered CyanogenMod, and decided that I might like to install it on my Galaxy S II - However, I am very new to rooting and installing these things, and I don't even know if it's possible.
Can someone give me a step-by-step guide on how to do this?
Thanks in advance

Get your pc setup to use Odin.Then you can flash siyah-s2-v4.1.5.tar directly.....which gives you root/cwm and safe kernel.
Then backup efs folder and make nand backup.
Then visit the rom thread you like and follow instructions.
Or you can root using recovery method in my sig and flash the .zip version of siyah.
So I followed a guide found here on Xda for my 3G Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to root it after I upgraded it to 4.0.4. I had to root it due to some issues I kept having and since I have root explorer and want to be able to use it.
Apparently I can boot up fine into CWM but I can't get SuperUser to work. What can I do? I need a hand.
This is the guide I followed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239185
If you need any information feel free to ask. I followed the guide down to the letter. If anyone has a clue at what I should have done please tell me.
i have recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note I717m running android 4.1.2
i have looked everywhere trying to find a way to root it but i can't find a thread or site (via google) that would explain to me exactly what i need to do to root my Note specifically. I am a beginner at rooting but i have rooted my samsung galaxy s3 (only because the rooting sites were abundant and very easy to understand)
All i need is to know if there is a way to root such an old phone running the latest software, and if there is i need to know how.
thank you
Get latest twrp .tar from og dev section to use with Odin.
Uncheck auto reboot in Odin, flash recovery, and since you have the Canadian version there is an extra step as there is a script in place to overwrite a custom recovery if you boot directly into the os,
So, right after the Odin flash, button combo into recovery and factory reset, then boot into android.
Now reboot into recovery and when you go to boot again from there it should see that you're not rooted and ask if you'd like to do so.
Thank you for your quick reply!
I however dont know what you mean by twrp.tar and where i can find it
I would need links to sites and a guideline if possible because when i rooted my s3 it was one step after the other i didn't really understand all of it and it was a long time ago
Thanks again, hope I'm not asking for too much here I'm new to this forum
Its in the development section for the i717. Go to TRWP recovery. Click the link to the site and MAKE SURE ITS FOR THE I717. Download and do what stud said.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
it worked!
thanks alot!
Hi basically im a newbie trying to root my samsung s3 phone. I download a rooting program call the kingo root and i followed all the instruction given.

If you have Samsung Galaxy S3 I assume you have followed this guide:
How to root Samsung GALAXY S3 (i9300)?
If for some reason this tool doesn't work with your device or your current firmware you could use VRoot tool.
You can also check this guide too:
[One Click Root] How to Root Android Devices (VRoot) Method
You can always use Odin to flash a recovery and root your official rom with a SuperSU zip and after that you can reset your flash counter by using Triange Away app (for warranty purposes).
You can check those guides too:

Hello. I've recently OEM unlocked my phone, and want to install Magisk on it. I would like some advice on how to proceed from here. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy J600GT phone. Any help with this would be appreciated.
If your device is compatible, the installation instructions are right here:
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
Okay. I've downloaded the stock firmware from this website (I don't want to get into custom recoveries just yet): sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-j6/SM-J600GT/ZTO/download/J600GTVJU3ASA1/257858
Now, what do I need to do to get a usable boot.img from this file? Any tips?
