[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rvenes:
I did that, no root...

Btw, first the orginal then the insecure i think, it's what i did.

Superuser complaining that su binary is outdated, and it will not download any new!

Use S2 root 1.4.3 to root ki8, quick and easy. you will have SU & BB.

SGH-T989

Hello once more anyone could shed some light at my inquiries please? I see Odia mentions ...

"If you only want to root your device and then will flash back to the stock kernel then there is no need to request your specific version (use any version which is close to your current version)"

I do not know what version is closer to my device "SGH-T989 USA T-Mobile SGSII" Could someone please tell me if it is possible to root it with the kernels listed or do I need a specific one?

If I need a specific version could I please request it, I know that there is quite a few users here in the States that would love to root their phones since USA T-Mobile SGSII was just released a few days back. Thank you very much in advance.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Odia:
I could be wrong but I am sure this is the GT-I910x section?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] recoil:
I do not know if this a specific device section, however lyriquidperfection have this posting listed as the place to get the "insecure kernels" he confirmed "S2 Root v1.4.3 - One Click Root" will work with the SGH-T989 as long as we can get an insecure kernel. Is it possible to get an insecure kernel for this device that will root it? If I am in the wrong place and is not feasible my apologies.

ive been readin thru the forums and google for literally 12 hours straight. 1am-1pm and no one can help me find out why i cant root this damn phone.... im running a Bell SGS2 GT-I9100M upgraded to XXKI3 which was reported by another bell user to work.... ive run my flash counter up to 25 in the past 12 hours since i got the phone.... and im getting extremely frustrated....

ive never seen a phone this complicated to root....

Added back UGKG2 insecure and its been tested by a BMC user.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] KnightCrusader:
May I ask a stupid question?

I am one of the few users (more like fanatic fan) of the new Verizon Samsung Stratosphere phone - which is an Epic 4G with LTE and Gingerbread, and the same bootloader/download mode seen on the the Galaxy S II tutorials. There is no forum for it on xda (yet), so I guess I should ask this here.

I got the kernel source from here for this phone. I assume if I compile this, and take the zImage, I can use Heimdall to flash it to the phone like nothing changed... is that correct?

The big question is - what do I need to do to the configuration or the kernel source for it to compile the kernel as insecure like you did with these SG2 kernels? I know if I can get ro.secure = 0 in default.prop of the initramfs image, I'll be set to go to root from adb. (Like mentioned here for the SG2 and how we do it for the ASUS Transformer.)

Any information would be helpful. I'd really like to get development rolling on this phone.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Odia:
My kernels are not compiled since the kernel config released by Samsung is not the one they use to build kernels :p, I make direct injects into the initramfs, in that way my kernels use the exact same config as the original.

Your comments about making a kernel insecure are correct.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] KnightCrusader:
Thanks for the quick reply. At least I got one part correct. :p

So, if I build the kernel from the source and flash it, would it brick my device? I can't even figure out how to get the stock kernel off without root and I can't figure out how to root without flashing the (modified) stock kernel. Its like the chicken or the egg. Maybe I should wait for the official firmware to come out as a backup before mucking around with this phone.

One thing I can't figure out is, how was the SG2 first rooted? With an insecure kernel? Or some other tool or exploit? I was hoping whatever method you guys used the first time would also work here, but I can't get a clear answer from searching the forums/googling.

I know this isn't the SG2 I'm talking about here, and I appreciate replying so quick with this info. I'd love to be a dev on this device but the information is scattered everywhere.

If you'd rather PM this info, that is fine too, so this thread stays on topic with the SG2. Thanks!

Hi

I've been trying to download BVKH2 insecure and secure from filesonic, but I keep getting the "you can only download one file at a time" error.

I've done a bit of research, and there's a suggestion that IWF is at work and due to the proxy configuration it looks like multiple users are trying to access the file from the same IP address so it's never going to work :(

Is there any chance these can be mirrored somewhere other than Filesonic, otherwise most of us UK dwellers will just have to sit and cry over our keyboards.

How long should the "insecure mode" last because on first boot I have rw access to /system but after 2nd boot only read access and I need to reflash the kernel again to get rw access (to be honest I didn't bother remounting /system rw because I make so many typos reflashing is faster)
