Sorry for noob question, What is Framework 4.0?

I'm new to Android And new to phones sorry.

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

I have a vista laptop.

So do I need it still? And what is it?

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

Can't I root using beginnger without the framework?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
S2 Root is a Windows application and in order for it to run on an XP, Vista or 7 Laptop you need to have the Microsoft .Net Framework installed. Do a search on google and you will be able to download it free from Microsofts web site. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Its standard root for people who just want root on stock roms but if you want Clockworkmod Recovery to be able to use all of Rom Managers features then I suggest you root using Chainfires CF-Root Kernel. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] code3h:
I have rooted it, it works for me

Can some one let me know how to UN-ROOT it ? Please give me the instructions
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] miahegypt:
Sry if my question have been asked before but my phone have the following information

Baseband : I9100XXKF1

kERNAL VERSION : 2.6.35.7.JPKG2-CL342890

Very Sry about that but i have no idea which kernel to use when un root

and which original kernel to remove yellow triangle

Very sry againe but i need ur help
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Hi you would need an insecure IPKG2 kernel to root or unroot then flash a secure kernel of the same version afterwards.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] MrEdLancelot:
it is not working for me

Removed, I found the answer!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BULL3TPR00F:
omg this is seriously pissing me off now. ever since updating to the new KI8 (2.3.5) i CAN NOT get root access, NO MATTER WHAT i try to do.

CF-Root does NOT work, insecure kernel and root app does NOT work, pre rooted kernels do NOT work. I dont understand what im doing wrong.

The S2 Root App tells me i have temp root everytime i click root even after it says perm root sucessfull. But even if i try to access a root app on the phone, i get NO root permissions! Superuser doesnt even get installed on the phone! (yes i have usb debugging and unknown sources on, and even manually install superuser from the market does not work)

someone please help :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
What model number is your Galaxy S II?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BULL3TPR00F:
it came stock as a GT-I9100M but after flashing KI8 it now just says GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Ahh that could be your problem. Think you may have the wrong firmware as some models have slight hardware differences.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BULL3TPR00F:
so what would you recommend? Bell is yet to have any updates other than the standard 2.3.3. Should i revert back to stock rom, try to root again, and then try to upgrade? or am i forced to stick with the crap Bell software?

should i just keep trying various KI* firmwares until i find one that works? I would prefer to keep a stock rom (and personally remove any bloatware) with a nice custom kernel (preferably Siyah 2.0)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Yes feel free to experiment with different roms and let me know your findings. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BULL3TPR00F:
I did some more research and came across a thread on androidforums where someone was able to upgrade and root their Bell SGS2 from stock 2.3.3 to the newer 2.3.5 using KI3 from Poland (and its respective CF-Root kernel).

I am going to test out the newer KI4 from Poland and post my results. Wish me luck!

Update 1: Well considering there is no CF-Root kernel (or unsecure kernel) for the XXKI4, I thought id try the XXKI3 CF-Root kernel, but it doesnt seem to have worked. Will now try what has been proven to work by someone else on another forum and stick with XXKI3 no mix and matching lol (until there is a kernel for XXKI4). Will post back soon.

Update 2: Seems like Chainfire MIGHT be working on a kernel for XXKI4.

Update 3: Ok so i seriously dont know what im doing wrong, XXKI3 was confirmed to work on a bell SGS2 but yet it still isnt working for me :S everything flashes fine without errors but i still do not end up with root :S
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BULL3TPR00F:
any suggestions?

UPDATE: OMG HOLY EFFING CRAP AFTER 12 HOURS OF TRYING TO ROOT THE NEW FIRMWARE IT FINALLY WORKS! I DONT EVEN KNOW WTF I DID DIFFERENTLY :S
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] miahegypt:
Thx

Now the problem is i cant find JPKG2 kernel insecure or secure any where ??

can some one help with one ??

and can i use any alternative ??
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] webvan:
Trying to unroot and for some reason s2root complains and says it can't find a Samsung S2, rebooted both XP laptop and S2, checked that USB Debugging was enabled and I'm still running the Insecure kernel. Thanks for any pointers!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Go into Terminal Emulator and type in:

ro.product.manufacturer

This should return the word samsung. If its blank let me know. Otherwise should work.

No Service

I have just my hands on SG2S (EPICS 4G) from SPRINT, I follow the instruction to root, using Odin, everything went fine, then I rooted the phone using S2root, smoothness... No problem!

However, now I have "no service", I can not connect to SPRINT network.

I try to install original kernel, and also "Factory Reset".

any help?

Additional information... I can not turn WiFi On either

Sorry People... SPRINT is different phone, I found the right kernel, and I am back to business. The post can be delete!

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ray1:
hi, newbie in rooting.

i used my phone for 3 months and decided to root it.

looking for a safest (non wipe, i wana keep all my apps), and easiest (since i'm no expert) rooting method.

this method came first in google,

are you sure the whole step 4-11 takes only 30 seconds?

or are you exaggerating?

step 5-9 seems to be flashing some kind of thing in it, will it wipe or reset my phone?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
If you want to root. It does not wipe anything from your device. Follow all steps in the guide and you will have root access! :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ray1:
Wow, thanks for the amazingly quick reply! :-D

Its really reassuring for me since you confirmed that it will not wipe anything.

can you please do me a favour if its not too much trouble?

i wont have any one to guide me when i try the rooting, i'm really afraid.

can you please let me know whats the estimated time for each step? so i know whether its normal to wait that amount of time, or if my laptop or phone hangs.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Just go with it you will be fine. If the app hangs for some strange reason it wont damage the phone.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ray1:
Hi, i've done it. It was amazingly quick and easy.

Its....unbelievable, thank you so much. (total time spent, less than 10 minutes)

:-D :-D :-D this is even easier and faster than jailbreaking an ipad.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kevin3688:

step 11

i understand what to do in all the steps except step 11 reinstalling the origional kernal. can i get a better discription on how to install the origional kernal.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] timberwolf60:
Used odin put origional kernel in PDA and go. After reboot the triangle will be gone.

Or you can used DarkyROM2 from market to flash kernel in tar format.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mdrizal:
ok now we just rooted our phone using this method.. is ok that this s2 root not include cwm recovery.. but how can we flash clockworkmods recovery .zip?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] timberwolf60:
Downloaded siyah kernel 2.1.1.tar. Used DarkyROM2 to flash kernel. It have CWM 5.0.27.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zenchowdah:

It was easier and just tested on SGS2 XWKJ3 ROM. No warning triangle. S2 root wss good as well.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DJ 1:
Hi, i`m on an insecure cf-root kernal, the reason i wanted to use this was because it broke my cwm recovery, so i`ve manually flashed clockworkmod recovery 4 via ODIN.

and i now need to root with s2 Root

first i say i allready have PERM ROOT, but if i select UNROOT, it goes as far as "remounting system as read only...." i have let it sit there for 15mins, doesnt actually unroot the phone ??

ideas?

thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] timberwolf60:
My suggestion to you:

1) try flashed insecure kernel if success then used S2 Root 1.5.1 to unroot and used S2 root to root it again. Flashed siyah kernel 2.2 beta 15.

2) If failed on above. Used titanium backup to backup your data and installed program. Start a flash ROM intallation. Then you can fellow to root your phone then siyah kernel.

Two ways to root your phone:

A) S2 root

B) Easy rooting by dooMLoRD

Finally installed DarkyROM2 to flash siyah kernel 2.2b15.tar. So you will have a system like CF root and you will enjoy it.

I always have backup set of titanium backup and launcher pro in hand. So after new room as 2 above. Just restore by titanium backup and restore back launcher pro and I am back every thing.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mpaulonic:
Hello fellows,

I followed each step and everything seemed to work fine until the "yellow triangle". My screen got stucked on that. Never got out. So I did a reboot in download mode and got my stock kernel back. And I did all the process again but got stucked on same screen. Now I am running stock kernel and NO root. Can any one help?

P.S.: If the only way to get rid of this yellow triangle is with a jig, I will give up
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nathsgames:

s2 root 1.5.1 is not opening in my pc :(

hey

i downloaded all u said files to root. but the exe in a rar file 1.5.1 s2root exe is not working

i mean when i double click or open it it just blinks in a milli seconds and then goes away. its not opening and showing as how its there in SS.

i tried many ways downloaded, and compatibility mode but no help

can u plz give me one here or the other lower version s2root link or upload here?

appreciate your work bro.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] timberwolf60:
I downloaded and the link still worked. Used 7zip to unzip to a folder and it will contain 2 folder(ADB, Tools) and S2 root.exe.

Gosh I hate Microsoft and their 50 million variants of incompatible .Net frameworks.

Another thought, I've successfully loaded the insecure kernel. Is there an alternative to S2Root I can use? Thanks guys,
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dedalmapeti:
Yes, there is another way too root your device. Try SuperOneClick. The new version works almost on any device.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davdavo:
Hi,

That program requires .net too :( and it doesn't even download. It seems my antivirus blocks the *.rar.

However, I've successfully rooted using Chainfire's rooted Kernel. :)

Thanks

:) lyriquidperfection : Thanks, it was indeed simple. but is there a way to remove the counter ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Hi mate to reset the counter you need a USB Jig which you can easily acquire from ebay. If you have the latest firmware installed on your Galaxy S II, make sure you flash the old sbl.bin file using odin as this still allows you to use the jig for resetting the counter. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HunterNIU:
Hope this isn't too dumb of a question. When I checked for firmware version it is different than anything I've seen on this thread so far. This is a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 2 with the following info:

Model: SGH-T989

Baseband version: T989UVKID

Kernel version: 2.6.35.11

Build number: GINGERBREAD.UVKID

Will this root method still work since it isn't the I9100? Also, I don't see any Insecure Kernel to match? Please advise if/when you can. Thank you!

EDIT:

I found insecure, insecure-root and stock kernels for this phone and will let you know what happens.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HAFMaster:
Yes! I just used it in Windows 7 64bit on a SGH-T989 with the same Build and Kernel Version. Just follow the directions in the first post of this thread. BE PATIENT! It may take about 10 minutes to complete. Keep the phone alive and from locking. Worked like a charm. Checked it with "Root Checker Basic" from the market. Root was verified.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] piannetta:
Hi, great instructions, before I jump in, I downloaded the unsecure and original ROMs from the link in your post (I'm on XWKI4), but they are ZIP files. Step 7 in your instructions says they have to be in one of the formats you mentioned. If I try to open the zip files (suspecting the right files are inside) I get an error. Have I misinterpreted something here? I can open other ZIP files, just not these ones.

hi there

im planing 2 root my S2 but i have a question , do we need to unroot it when we want 2 install ics 4 when its officialy released ??? and unrooting the phone, is the same procedure as rooting it ????

thanks for ur help :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] themadba:
@piannetta

Try using 7zip to extract the .zip files into the .tar format that is required for flashing. Then you can put the insecure kernel into the PDA section and flash away. Make sure you do the same for the original kernel in order to remove the yellow triangle at the boot screen.

Chris.

Hi,

I want to unroot my Galaxy S2 so that I can re-root it with CF-root in order to get the CWM add-on. To do this, does my phone need an insecure kernel flashed to it and USB debugging activated in order to unroot?

If this is all done, can I then open s2root and click the unroot button?

Thanks,

Chris.

Hey people im thinking of getting a galaxy s2 from the catalogue the one i want is White and Sim Free, im currently a htc hd2 owner its flashed and rooted so im not a total noob to doing this kinda stuff, but im not clued up on the galaxy s2 at all, so i have a few questions. 1st 1 sounds really dumb but its better to be safe than sorry:)

1.Can i use this guide to Root a Sim free white s2 and can it be unrooted/unflashed just incase i have to return it.

2.Im torn between the galaxy s2 and the htc Sensation XL, If any s2 owners would like to share there user experience with me and there opinions or recommendations on the s2 i would really appreciate it. *By PM please to keep this thread from getting cluttered*

3.Anything i might have missed out feel free to holla at me :D

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lyriquidperfection:
Hi, try it and post your results here.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] FabMaurice:
Sorry for the typo ... should be SG2 on stock 2.3.6 and kernel DXKL3. Zergrush method didnt work anymore. Got impatient and took the jump.

IT WORKED !!! A very clean and elegant process. Thank you.

Would like to suggest if you could post the kernels in a few other file hosting sites. Hotfile didnt work too good for me.

Also, in your procedure, you could add an alternative to (With Device OFF, Hold Vol Down + Home + Power), eg. (With Device OFF, Hold Vol Down + Insert USB cable).

Thanks again for your great stuff!!!

hi and good evening all

I am rooted via cf root kernel XW NEE KI4. I like the idea of root being quickly on/off. Can any please advise how i can use this method of rooting instead of the cf method?

regards

fs1
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bubba949:
Actually CF-root is quicker because you only need to flash that ROM where as one click root you have to flash an insecure then original ROM.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] fs1023:
Thanks bubba949 for reply but a bit confused. Are we talking here about Kernels or Roms? When I went CF Root it was a kernel I flashed through Odin 1.85 then through CWM installed a custom Rom zip file so I am not sure what you mean.

Excuse for my ignorance but only had GS2 a week and bit of a noob with it though had a HTC desire before that which was rooted s-off etc so bit of a novice with this phone.

regards
