finally, i did it, but there is one mistake - When i try to start the phone, i shows only yellow triagle with the name of the phone. I already wiped data and cache but no response...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] deweini:
don't worry, that is normal. most of the people just ignore it. or use it as some kind of ensurance when they reboot that it is still rooted (like me).

there is a thread here somewhere tho called "triangle away". you might want to check it out, when it bugs you. ;)

EDIT: oh, you mean you are stuck with the triangle? or does it boot after some time?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Sounds like you flashed wrong insecure kernel. However you can still root if you are quick enough before phone reboots. Just listen for the usb connected sound and press root. It should root before the phone reboots then just flash original kernel back and phone will boot up normally again and you will stay rooted.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DragonQ:
I have the same problem. Need to root my phone to unlock it so I followed the instructions from this thread using XWLA4 (closest to what I had - I9100XWLSW) and now the phone freezes on the boot up screen with the yellow triangle. :crying:

EDIT: OK so I re-flashed the official firmware and now my phone works normally but I still don't have root access. What am I doing wrong? Do I need a different insecure kernel?

Which Kernel should i use?

I've rooted another phone ok, but when going to do this on my sisters I noticed that her kernel version is not in the format I expected (ie 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKG1-CL349526), so i'm not sure which insecure kernel I should be using. I know this is an old thread, but hopefully someone can help!

clockwork mod recovry

Samsung Quick Root - For SAMSUNG Devices (Formerly known as S2 Root)

By this post I rooted my Samsung galaxy s2 I9100G, it was very very nice and help full.

But now I have one question.

Where I can have clockwork mod recovery?

I tried ROM manager. As expected it told to install clockwork mod recovery.

There are two options it selected first, intasll recovery, then it recognized my phone.

Then it says that I9100G does not have official CWM recovry. Have you installed it mannualy?(picture 1)

Pressing 'no' it say can not work with your device.(picture 2)

Pressing 'yes' it asks to confirm version(picture 3)

Finally ROM manager looks like this(picture 4)

While selecting 'reboot into recovery '(second option) it just crash down and ask to 'wait' 'exit' 'report'.

Even I can not take backup of current ROM , it says same as above listed.

Please help..

GT-i9100P rooting

Hi all, Just leaning a few things on this site about Android.

I was hoping to root this GT-i9100P phone and run EFS Pro afterwards but I only got as far as loading the Kernel_I9100PXXLPS_INSECURE and the phone would not boot up again so I ran Odin again and flashed a stock Kernel_I9100XILA2 that got the phone back to as it was.

Maybe I did some thing wrong as the phone did boot up with Yellow Triangle with an exclamation and then I started Samsung Quick Boot and it couldn't detect the phone, even tried removing the battery and restarting the phone which boot to the Yellow triangle every time, the PC recognized the phone but Quick root did not?

Any suggestions appreciated, by the way the phone is branded with Orange but uses and Voda SIM in Italy with no problem. I installed a root check App which identified as not rooted, Busy box is present.

Ultimately I would like to remove the Orange junk and upgrade to later rom if possible!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BigMikes13:
I'm not very sure about this try buying a jig it will remove knox count numbers and yellow triangle but will boot into odin mode and start downloading
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
A Jig will not reset knox. Also knox is not a counter its a binary bit switch meaning it's either 0x0 or 0x1.

use ur tool, i downloaded rom manager, but when i tried doing a nandroid backup with cwm it says signature verification error

any ideas?

or do i have to flash another kernel with cwm?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Try disabling signature checking in CWM. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Hi mate, with the phone switched off, just plug in the jig and it will power on straight to download mode. It will also reset the counter at the same time.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] klyzon:
dont think its possible.

theres only 4 options

reboot system

apply update from sd card

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

My android system recovery is 3e which i assume is wrong?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Ahhh thats why! You have standard android recovery on your device. You need to flash CWM to your device if you want custom ROMs etc.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] A380:
Step 10: So Android is running and USB connection enabled?

I've got an insecure kernel installed, usb connected and I can see the drives, but S2 Root keeps on saying that the device is NOT connected.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
If you can see drives, you are connected in mass storage mode! Just make sure USB Debugging is enabled and just connect the cable, you dont need to set anything else! :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] A380:
I had tried that too. I can hear Win7 make 'USB connection' sound. Android also reports 'USB connected'. USB debugging is on. I did not select 'Connect USB storage' within Android, I only plugged it in.

But, when I run S2 Root. It keeps on throwing 'Device is NOT connected! Please connect the USB cable and try again!' at me.

I have tried it again and again. Anyone any further suggestions as to what I can try?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nap05:
Hello there.

I used this tool with an original insecure kernel, and it worked perfectly fine for me.

Then I unrooted, went back to a secure original kernel and flashed the CF-Kernel in order to install custom battery icons. After that, I installed the insecure original kernel again, pressed unroot and installed the original secure kernel after that (with the required reboots in between of course).

Now, whe I am what the tool suggests me unrooted and I flash the original insecure kernel and try to press "root" again, the tool suddenly says I am already rooted, but before I installed the original secure kernel it told me the unrooting was successfull.

It says my device already has perm root permissions and its aborting. When I did it first it said after flashing an insecure kernel I only have temp root permissions.

The outcome of this is that the tool is aborting the rooting process and it is not installing superuser/su or busybox. Even if I press unroot and after that I press root, it again says I am already rooted.

Whats the problem here? I dont really get it :(

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] safeelhd2:
Im more interested in the Unroot feature.

I rooted using chainfire's method. Can i unroot using this app?

the reason i ask is because earlier in one of the posts you mentioned that chainefire's rooting method installs CWM but yours doesnt, so will your unrooting method remove CWM also?

Just a quick side step aswell, if i want to go back to stock, do i just flash the standard carrier branded firmware after doing this unroot?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Hi mate, ive never tried to unroot after using chainfires cf root but you could give it a try and let me know. Also if you want to flash a stock rom or carrier branded rom, theres no need to unroot as you will lose root anyway. :)

oh Crap, I started the process and have it to the point where i hit `start`on odin with flashing the insecure rom.

I then got an error message saying odin had an error and stopped working. My phone is in download mode still. How do i discontinue safely without bricking the phone...

edit: nm - hold power button down phone shut off.

now to figure out why odin stopped working...I`m using .net framework 3.5.1 on windows 7 64bit.

edit: doesn't matter now. as per previous post, .net framework 4 installed.

As a tip for the noobs such as myself double check to make sure your usb drivers are up todate - plug the phone in and make sure you don't get an update and requisite "you need to reboot for changes to take effect" message. That may be why it failed. But i suspect that it was because I "saved" the link on the OP's post as opposed to clicking on it for the external link. DOH!

Crap i think i just bricked my phone. I followed the guide until step 8. How long does it suppose to take? When i pressed start, it says Failed on the top left corner. gave it a few more tries but still fail. I think this due to my internet connection fail at the time. I took out the battery, connect to internet, do everything again. Now instead of saying Fail, in the message box in says <ID:0/016> Added!!

<ID:0/016> Odin v.3 engine (ID:16)..

<ID:0/016> File analysis..

<ID:0/016> SetupConnection..

it has been like this.

Oh i've tried to take the battery out and abandon the this root procedure all together but i can't get to android. There is a phone and pc icon in the middle of the screen. Now i don't to root anymore i just want to boot to android like normal helps. thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
I have noticed similar occurances. You need to exit Download Mode on your device and Re-enter Download Mode between flashes, otherwise Odin just hangs. :)

Edit: As for the Phone and PC icon on your screen, that will go once you have flashed the kernel correctly.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Hi, you will not lose data flashing kernels. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nurra:
I exited Download mode by taking the battery out. Is that okay? So i need to keep retrying until it works? Also if all else fail, is there anyway to get my phone to at least works? thanks for the quick reply.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
If you cant get it working then you have to recover through Samsung Kies to reflash your device.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nurra:
OMG It Worked now. All i need to do was to try a different kernal.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:

Now I am pretty sure I have got this down, I just want to make sure I am about to do it correctly. My phone is currently on XWKF3 firmware, which I had done through Keis. I should download the XWKF3 insecure firmware to root it, and then reflash the secure XWKF3, correct?

I have read all the pages in this topic, and I am pretty sure that is what I must do, I just want to be sure.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Devowa:
@yugotprblmsave

Correct.

Well, at least I did it.

And Yesterday, I flash XXKG2 and then flash insecure kernel(kwe7),took root, and then flash XXKG2(kernel only). It works.

Kernel, baseband, apps are all updated to XXKG2 :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yugotprblms:
