Go to the thread [GUIDE] How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter!! Step 2 is rooting, which you have already done. In step 3 you install a custom kernel containing ClockworkMod Recovery. I suggest Entropy512's Daily Driver.

This is disappointing. We don't have root for 2.3.6 yet without breaking the wifi and have to do a rest.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dh4645:
yeah, that's why i made sure to read up on everything before i got it on tuesday. the first thing i would have done was look for a fw update.

I am on KK6 2.3.6, will number 3 root my phone or is there still not a working root for this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
There is a UCKK6 stock plus root available in Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock thread which is a sticky in the original development forum.

If you use the original number 3 method with the UCKH7 stock plus root, it will work fine, but your phone will be on UCKH7 2.3.4 afterwards, and you will have to do a wipe data/factory reset.

I have AT&T....and would like to root the phone...I was going to wait for ICS but seems like it will be a little longer for us to get it....anyways.....

Which is the best method to root the phone and ROM manager is the best to use without any issue?

Build: UCKK6

Version: 2.3.6

Kernel: 2.6.35.7

I know people have issues rooting 2.3.6 and wifi not working.

Thanks for your help.:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chvybeatsford:
So lets see if i have this rite,

No one click root for KK6.

Only way to Root is basically a full wipe using ODIN.

There are Root Issues of wifi jacked.

So best bet is to root with Odin and install a custom rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
1) You can odin back to stock UCKH7, and then wipe data/factory reset, and then follow my guide to install CWM and a custom ROM.

2) You can odin back to stock UCKH7 plus root, then wipe data/factory reset, then run the OTA back to UCKK6.

3) You can odin a custom kernel which injects root, so I understand. I havn't tried this myself. I would caution that I have seen several reports over the past several months of soft brick/problems from this method .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chvybeatsford:
Thanks.. What i didnt want to do is have to wipe at all. Have not made any backups and what not. My only reason for root was to remove att apps. Guess ill hold out for a min or try u method.

got the same problem no wifi

OK I've found what to do: You have to do a factory reset!

No problem for me since phone is new and empty.

he he finally got it rooted and wifi working.

/First do try to factory data reset the phone through the main menu settings.

/1. On the main home screen, just select MENU

/2. Select SETTINGS, then select PRIVACY

/3. Select FACTORY DATA RESET

The OP needs to update the 3&4 methods.

I downloaded it twice from hotfile but it isn't working.

Just wanted to confirm. I go to About Phone and Kernel Version is 2.6.35.7 I can chose any of the unlock methods (the one click ones first listed on the main post)? I'm running android version 2.3.6 though. Is that what eh KK6 2.3.6 refers to?

<e> I guess I should ahve read some more. I flashed it using Odin3 One-Click Downloader Stock I-777 UCKH7 with Root no BL and now wifi doesn't work.

<e2> After reading the guide this was taken from it recommended doing a OTA update. Did that and my wifi is back. I plan on running by the store to pick up a SD card sometime this week. Then I'll start running some different ROMS.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pthurmond:
So I am unclear on this one @mojoe_24. After doing the OTA did you lose root access?

Question for everyone on the forum.

I have a co-worker who wants me to root her phone. So far my experience has only been with my HTC Evo 4G and my B&N Nook Tablet.

My co-worker has a Samsung Galaxy S 2 that she has only had for about 2 weeks. It runs on AT&T. Below are the full details that I got from the phone. Is it possible to root her phone at this time? I am a bit unclear on that. Thanks!

Samsung Galaxy S II

Model number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I777

Android version: 2.3.6

Baseband version: I777UCKK6

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7

Build number: GINGERBREAD.UCKK6

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You can root by flashing the I777UCKH7 plus root package. This will take the phone back to 2.3.4. Wifi will not work. You can fix wifi by immediately doing the over the air update back to I777UCKK6 (2.3.6) which is currently on the phone.

Alternatively, you can leave the phone on I777UCKH7, 2.3.4. You will need to do a wipe data/factory reset to get wifi working. This will erase all personal settings, downloaded applications, etc. so the phone will have to be reconfigured.

SGS2 At&T i777

I rooted my SGS2 i777 that was running Gingerbread. After rooting I used Titanium Backup for complete backup. Then I flashed leaked ICS 4.0.3 Build # IML74K.117 thinking it was the full blown ICS operating system, which it wasn't. That process also un-rooted my SGS2 so now I'm unable to access my Titanium Backup. Tried rooting again using same process as first time but was unsuccessful. Got the dreaded "yellow triangle". Was able to flash same ICS firmware as before. So I currently have above mentiond OS & Build and am not rooted. Questions...is there a root for the 4.0.3? If so, if I were to root again is there a better "leaked" ICS or should I wait for the "anticipated" official release? Main concern is that my Titanium Backup is still intact and I will be able to access it when rooted again.

Please advise!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Not sure what exactly you flashed in that package. I don't recognize the build number you give, but I'm guessing it is not for the I777. I would suggest you flash I777UCKH7 stock plus root (Gingerbread) using Odin or the Odin one-click. Then install a ClockworkMod enabled kernel. Finally, use ClockworkMod Recovery to flash I777UCLD3 by Task650, which is the latest AT&T ICS leak, and also contains a modified kernel with CWM Recovery and root access.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] larz2012:
ClockworkMod enabled kernel

Is there a certain ClockworkMod enabled kernel that you would recommend using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Entropy512's Daily Driver, and Siyah will both work fine for this purpose. You need the Gingerbread version to work with UCKH7.

So I made the mistake of following this link http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-att-galaxy-s2-sgh-i777/ to root my ATT galaxy s2 phone. Now I have i9100 fimware installed and Wireless does not work. Everything else works fine.

My question is should I follow the steps un-root my phone (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1313659&highlight=unroot) then root it using (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1285894&highlight=unroot) or should I just install something else like CyanogenMod?

If I install CyanogenMod would it possibly fix my Wireless issues?

Thanks,

Louis
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You're fine, except that kernel is old and not currently supported, and by flashing it with Odin you have incremented the flash counter.

You can reset the flash counter by entering download mode using a usb jig, or by using Triangle Away application on ICS only. Or you can just leave it at 1.

You could probably fix the wifi by doing a wipe data/factory reset in recovery. For sure, after flashing another rom the wifi should work.

That kernel contains ClockworkMod Recovery, so you can use that to flash any Rom you want. If you want to remain on stock, I would at the minimum flash Entropy512's Daily Driver kernel using ClockworkMod Recovery.

So at this point, just decide what you want to run on the phone, and flash that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] systemgeek:
Since I do not want to repeat my mistake of not asking first here on XDA I will ask now. When you say "Triangle Away application on ICS only" are you refering to the link in your profile for "How to Clear the Warning Triangle without a Jig" or something else on XDA?.

Back when I had the old Galaxy 1 I found a link listing most of the ROMs out there for my phone with a brief description of them. Does such a thing still exist for the Galaxy 2?

What ROM(s) would you recommend for speed and good functionality?

Thanks,

Louis
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Triangle Away is an application for the Galaxy S II I9100 by developer codeworkx, which also works for our phones. It exploits a feature of the Android 4.0 OS so it can only be used when ICS is installed on the phone. You can download it for free from his thread in the I9100 forums, or pay a couple of dollars for it from the market.

List of Roms.

I don't have a recommendation. Try something. If you don't like it, try something else.

How to root by flashing Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + Rooted System Package with Modem using Odin3 One-Click Downloader (Windows)

Download the "Odin3 One-Click Downloader Stock I-777 UCKH7 with Root no BL" package from MultiUpload or MegaUpload. Extract the contents of the zip file to a directory on your hard disk drive. This is a One-Click version of Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + Rooted System Package plus stock modem from the development forum. (Contains stock zImage, factoryfs.img with root, and modem.bin.)

Start the Odin3 One-Click Downloader program by double clicking on "I777UCKH7 OCD Root No BL.exe".<LI sizcache="1" sizset="76">Now Enter Download Mode:

With the phone powered off, plug in the usb cable while holding the vol up + vol down buttons (but not the power button).

When the warning screen appears, press Volume up to continue into download mode.

In Odin, the small edit box in the upper left corner will turn yellow, and say something like [0:COM8].

Click Start. Watch the progress bar advance in green while the message box in the lower area describes the steps. When the flash is finished, the top left larger edit box will turn green and say PASS! and your phone will automatically reboot.

Unplug the usb cable from you phone after it boots up. Success. You're Rooted.

help unrooting UCKK6

Please help :confused:

My android version is 2.3.6 and baseband is I777UCKK6.

According to what I read, I should be able to unroot my never-unroot-phone using odin3 one-click downloader I-777 UCKH7 stock no bootloader.

I was able to run the program, the progress bar advanced and finally the edit box turn green and say PASS!

Since my wi-fi is not working (as mentioned by several others in this thread before), I proceed to do factory reset. After resetting, my wi-fi is working again and I see my android version and my baseband becomes 2.3.4 and I777UCKH7 respectively. So it seemed like I successfully rooted my phone. However, there is no superuser apps and I tried to run rom manager, it said no superuser is found. Tried to type "su" in the terminal, I only have dollar sign no pound.

I tried to re-do the Odin3 one-click and still have the same result. What did I do wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I think you must have used the package for stock without root, instead of the one with root. It's ok to just go ahead and flash the one with root now. You should not have to reset again.

Hello all. I got the update the other day through Kies and was unrooted when I got it. I'm wanting to root my phone and all the info I'm finding is for rooting gb. I've downloaded the I777_UCKH7_OCD_Root_No_BL.7z from method 3. Will this method work with UCLE5 which I'm running now? I guess my confusion lies in whether this method flashes a gb kernel onto ICS which I've gathered is not good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BROKKANIC:
You're going to have to flash back to stock or flash one of the already rooted official ICS ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] manigault:
I understand, but I'm still confused. does that make sense?:) From what I understand, rooting just flashes a kernel, is that right? So rooting with one of the above methods would flash a gb kernel onto my UCLE5. Is that right or am I completely screwed up? I've searched and searched and am not finding any info pertaining to rooting ICS only gb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You can not root stock ICS that way, and your lack of general understanding indicates that you should do some reading and gain a better general understanding before you do anything.

As far as I know, there is no way to root the ICS update without incrementing the flash counter. You can root it by flashing the ICS version of Siyah kernel using Odin. This will increment the flash counter.

Or, you can flash rooted gingerbread and then go to the development forum and flash one of the three rooted versions offered by AJ Newkirk. This will not increment the flash counter if you follow the guide linked in my signature, or the OP of this thread.

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

Again, you need to study more.

Root actually has nothing to do with the kernel, except that some kernels, such as Siyah, inject root into the system partition. Root consists of the superuser.apk, su, and usually busybox, all in the system partition.

Interesting. So here's what happened. I tried to flash I777_UCKH7_OCD_Root_No_BL.7z. I figured I would try to go back to gb and then go from there(following the guide in OP here). Process went fine and my phone booted back up, then got stuck on the setup screen(touch the green android to continue). I could push the power button to lock the screen, push it again to unlock and my widgetlocker screen (that I had set up before this process) would come up(because I didn't unmount the sd card?). I unlocked and still stuck on the setup screen. A long press on the green android initiated some error messages:

the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly please try again. push to force close

the application Google process (com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly

And here's where I sit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
