Heimdall frontend doesn't seem to understand Odin .tar packages. If Ben Dobell comes back to this thread - Ben, that's why my instructions are for commandline heimdall. It's easier to tell people to extract the tar and flash from the commandline than to provide two separate download packages.

Reread the CWM instructions in codeworkx's thread- on our devices, power is not used in CWM. Home to select, back to go back. Sounds like you've at least got CWM working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pinoymutt:
I believe if you grab the older version of Heimdall Suite (1.1.1) it doesn't require the .xml packages, and you can flash individual components via the GUI (at least on Windows).

I keep both a copy of the latest (1.3.1) and the older one (1.1.1) in case I need to flash individual components and I don't have an Odin tar.

That's a real bummer, because it was such a handy utility on the SGS.

I tried to do a little research and can't seem to find anything on an SGSII alternative, but maybe in due time...

After I rooted I seem to have signal issues.

The 3 days I had my phone before I rooted it worked perfectly, now twice I have had to reset my phone because it says it is not registered under AT&T network, sometimes I loose the ability to text so I have to reset, sometimes I loose connection all together. Also, places I would get 5 bars I now get 2-3.

new modem ?

This new I777UCKJ1 update that's out looks like it has new radio /modem? Anyway /anyone have the Odin file for just this stock modem? I777UCKJ1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I think designgears was working on a "safe" Odin package. The leak currently available flashes bootloaders...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qwer43:
hi. i had a problem with the latest firmware and was so glad to find this link.

Thanks a lot.

I am able to goback to 2.3.4.

Regarding the modem, i also run it in Odin under Phone.

My question is : what is this modem for? what is its advantage?

How to I post my thank you.

Pete
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
It is only useful if you accidentally flashed an I9100 modem file.

If your baseband info in Settings->About Phone says something other than UCKH7, then you'll need to flash the modem file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qwer43:
got it. flashed it and now all is UCKH7. thanks a lot.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jermyer:
Ok. One question. Does the file system image doing the rooting, or is it the custom kernel? Do you have to flash the custom kernel if you don't want

CWM, but just want root ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
The kernels in the packages included here are not custom - they're bone stock. Even the bootloader agrees!

If you flash the rooted system image, you'll get root without CWM - the file system itself (factoryfs.img) is what has root in the case of the packages in this thread.

Call problems after root

After I rooted I've been getting poor Call Quality. Its cutting in and out. It was not doing it before root. plz help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No clue, try reflashing and do a wipe data/factory reset. Rooting won't cause a problem like what you are describing.

Or try enabling/disabling that stupid Samsung Noise Reduction feature during a call.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] starryeyez:
okay, I didnt do the root my friend did and he can't come out to try and fix till next week. I know he used Odin but I'm not exactly sure what he did to get root. So I have no idea what you mean when you say try reflashing, sry. I'm coming from the iphone, so I'm so clueless right now. :-(

btw, thanks for the quick reply :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
There are multiple root methods. Some are more invasive than others. He could have installed a custom ROM which goes a bit beyond rooting.

In Settings->About Phone, what does it say for "build number"?

If you install CPUSpy, what does it say about the kernel information and version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] starryeyez:
build number GINGERBREAD.UCKH7

Kernel Info

Linux Version 2.6.35.7-I777UCKH7-CL503881 (se.infra@SEP-50)(gcc version 4.4.0(GCC) #2 SMP PREEMPT

heres the site he went to I had him email it to me

thanks again for your help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Weird... Looks like bone stock to me, especially if the Baseband field in About Phone also says UCKH7. Only things I can think of are to try toggling noise reduction (it's some weird wavy icon you should see during a call), or to enter recovery and do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SysAdmNj:
I'm stuck in a boot loop after flashing: Kernel + non-rooted system package.

from what i gather, i need an odin flashable in order to attain root. I will be more than happy to donate to your feeling better. :) j/p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
The prerooted system image is a tar that should be Odin-flashable - jivy26 tested it.

If the .tar fails, Heimdall is available for Windows, and I know of a few devs (like MikeyMike01) who swear by it even on Windows machines where Odin is available.

Stock Kernel Flashable .tar

Here is the stock kernel, extracted from the stock unrooted package in the OP, in an Odin flashable .tar, (see Download Repository, link in sig)

Created the tar file in Android Terminal Emulator on my phone. Flashed it twice successfully on my phone. Verified with CPU Spy:

Linux version 2.6.35.7-I777UCKH7-CL503881 (se.infra@SEP-50) (gcc version 4.4.0 (GCC) ) #2 SMP PREEMPT Sat Aug 27 04:53:41 KST 2011

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rbtconsultants:
So, I rooted my s2 by flashing with Odin. Works very nice. Thanks very much for this.

Then I used the DD method to put codeworx CWM kernel on, so I could get CWM and wouldn't have the exclamation point or increment my flash counter. Then I did a CWM backup. All is well at this point.

Then market told me there was an update to SuperUser app. I did the update and it told me SU binary was out of date, so I updated that.

At that point, it appeared Root broke. Root Explorer and TIBU could no longer get root access.

So, I restored my CWM backup and all is well again, except obviously market tells me again there is a new version of superuser.

So, should I care? Should I be able to update superuser from market? Should I just ignore that and never update superuser?

Thanks all for everything. Please forgive any noobness on my part.

Thanks,

Bob
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I havn't used codeworkx kernel and havn't studied it, but I believe it is pretty much the stock kernel with just ClockworkMod Recovery added. Entropy512's Daily Driver kernel, since the 10/9 version, has a root injection script that is set to prevent that market update problem. You may want to consider putting that on your phone. The other benefits of his kernel will also make it worth it, better battery life, etc. Check out the Daily Driver kernel thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
Try opening the su app and see if TIBU and Root Explorer are listed, if they are toggle there permission to off them back on. If they are not listed or that did not work go to settings > applications and find the su app and force stop, clear data, and cache. Then reopen the su app, then retry TIBU and Root Explorer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
My root injection script won't change anything in this case - previously it tried to update su/Superuser.apk if they were older, but it kept falsely detecting updates as "old". Now it will just do nothing if su and Superuser.apk are already present, regardless of what version they are. Even the old behavior would only affect:

1) Those who updated the su binary using the Superuser app - but later versions of the script (prior to the finally "dont clobber anything" fix) included an su binary that is still the latest.

2) ROM developers who wanted to include a newer Superuser APK in the ROM. Did not affect users who updated from the market.

Most likely after updating Superuser in the market, all that was needed was to re-run the app or possibly clear its data - the behavior described is the exact same behavior many people encounter after the initial installation of su/Superuser until the app is run once.

sry it took so long to update this OP......to save you some time Yay4Jugg's abandoned the project after he stated he knew how to fix the bootloader but his computers software was not up to par.....someone donated a windows key to him...and last i heard he went on to another phone...

any who!!!

Joker has done alot of work for the PHOTON and continues to do some amazing things for us in the Dev area...we are super lucky to have him and all the other devs puttin in their time and skill

joker has stated he believes he knows what the issue is..and it's not actually the bootloader causing the problem..it's the keys being passed or received in the os/kernel "i dunno i'm not a dev" in the cm9 thread he said it may be able to get it worked out but bein cm9 is still alpha it's on the backburner......and to be honest i'm just glad all those devs have gotten ICS to where it is already....let those guys get whatever their wanting to do done....quit asking for ETAs or status updates

If someone has done some work to figure out the best way to make things work why not start from that work.
