Hey SF, I've been trying to grab the latest auto root tool all day today and it keeps getting interrupted, any idea why? Going to PC, not phone.

I was using chrome though if that would make a difference

I will try on IE, have you or anyone else noticed any problems with chrome on windows lately?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrish03:
I have a couple of questions. I have done lots of reading and video watching but I still have a little confusion. I rooted the phone and had the EL29 CWM+Rogue on the phone. Then I flashed E4GT 3.0 and it completed succesfully but I notice I have a completely different kernel now.

If I want to flash any GB roms am I able to continue using the recovery that is there? If I want to flash ICS roms can I use this recovery or do I have to switch to the EL26? If I do have to switch to the EL26 can I use the Autoroot file made to do this or do I have to download a .tar file and use ODIN, or can I flash an EL26 zip in recovery and have what I need.

Thanks in advance for the help, I've done a lot of reading and watched a bunch of videos but I came from an OG Evo and Samsung's are a lot different, until you get to recovery!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
For now, you should go back to EL26 *kernel/recovery* only. You should be able to use Auto Root to do that, but keep in mind a GB kernel will not boot an ICS ROM, so only go back to EL26 kernel/recovery if you are ready to flash your next ICS ROM. You can also use ODIN to do the kernel/recovery flash. It will increase your ODIN flash count and trigger the yellow triangle, but some people don't care. You can also use Mobile ODIN to flash the EL29 kernel/recovery

Hey guys... Just got a E4GT-i'm coming from a Motorola Atrix 2-with a LOCKED bootloader, grr. Anywho, my intent is to root, install cwm, then throw a GB kernel & test drive this beast, with my end result eventually being ICS. My issue is I've started downloading the stock+root package from another thread via torrent, was planning on dl-ing the automated rooting package to gain cwm but unfortunately it looks like both the lite and full links are down... (i'm running the stock EL29 right now, so I'm just aiming for the lite version) I hate to be one of those guys asking about a mirror site, but does anyone have a torrent, mirror link, or dropbox I could mooch from for the automated root package, lite version? (btw you people are effing spoiling me with all this one-click jazz, but irregardless thank you.... !!) Thanks again for all your hard work! :D

Been running calkulins ICS rom for a while now and it is great.

I just tried to add Google Now following these steps:

and when I reboot, it just hangs at the "Samsung Galaxy SII" boot logo.

I used adb to pull/edit/push back the build.prop file back to SDK=15 and renamed the google search apk back to the correct name.. but still freezing at the boot logo.

How do I get back? I was trying E4GT Auto script to flash me back to EL26 but my phone shows under ADB Devices as in recovery mode and the E4GT Auto script doesn't appear to like that.

I'm afraid to brick the phone since I am on ICS so I am trying to figure out how to flash EL26+cwm to my phone manually but not sure where to start.

OK this is going to sound stupid but I'm still a noob with the SGS2 and need some help understanding the original post ( i know i know im sorry)

"Samsung [USB/Android drivers] are INSTALLED"

So basically do i just click the link to download the driver then run the .exe file to install them?

Is it too much to ask to have this re-worded for dummies like myself?

Do i just do this step to gain root?

How do i know if i need lite or full? All I want to do is install an ICS ROM.

Thanks for your help guys!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Is it a stock ics rom, if so just use a the one click odin for that version.

If you are on EL29 you can not root with this. You can however flash the nodata EL29 one click which is prerooted.

Once on a rooted EL29 you can use the autorooter to install a cwm kernel to flash roms from. Or you can just flash the EL26 CWM kernel using desktop odin, flash the ics rom from cwm and then use triangle away to get rid of the triangle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
On a very related note to this - for upgrading to ICS, there's one heck of a list following the words "If you want a..." in the original post:

Since the stock phone kernel only goes to EL29, that decision was easy - and currently all I'm running is the EL29 rooted kernel, using the "nodata" version to get root and CWM, since my phone had EL29.

However, if I want to go to ICS, it appears I need to pick one of the above kernels - how is that decision made [since not based on my phone's current kernel]?

Why would I choose one over the other? Is this simply a matter of picking the highest Kernel version, assuming it to be the most current?

...or does it effectively not matter, since Option D I presume replaces the kernel at any rate (although if so, I wouldn't believe all the choices would remain)?

Thanks for the help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Sorry I was traveling so couldn't respond right away.

Those are not kernels, they are full releases (modem, kernel, ROMs) which are pre-rooted. You just choose which version you want to run and flash. When you are done flashing, you will have modem, kernel and ROM matching the version you chose. It will already be rooted. Nothing else would have been changed (ie everything else is stock, including recovery). If you want a custom recovery, there are many ways to obtain. Auto Root has packaged in various stock kernel and stock kernel+recovery which you can flash. You do not need to do this step unless you want custom recovery.

I could have just packaged the custom recovery with the pre-rooted ROM flash, but for various reasons (some people don't need/want custom recovery, flashing custom recovery in ODIN will trigger yellow triangle and increment the flash count, etc) it is a separate step.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Lite versions have been updated to include FF18. Full versions are currently uploading.

FF18-CWM-agat-src - this kernel is recompiled from FF18 source to be safe from the EMMC superbrick bug under all conditions (as long as you don't overwrite this kernel with a ROM install)

FF18-CWM-agat - this is stock FF18 kernel, repacked with safe Recovery. It is basically 95% safe. It is 99% safe unless you are flashing AOKP/AOSP ROMs (possibly just the older ones. If folks really want the stock kernel with just the addition of relative safety from the most common EMMC superbrick situations, they can use this

FF18 - this kernel is the pure stock FF18 kernel, nothing was changed

Also under Option E, I added an OTA Compliance Check for EL29 to FF18. This is in preparation for a rooted FF18 OTA patch install that will be coming this evening.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
This is for the FAQ section:

What is the EMMC superbrick/lockup issue and which FF18 CWM should I choose?

EMMC superbrick is explained in this thread. In short, with unsafe ICS kernels, wipe data/factory reset, nandroid restore, and ROM installs which do format() can potentially cause your phone's EMMC to lockup/superbrick where there is no current way to completely recover other than replacing your motherboard (or lose a few GBs of space if you want to work around the problem) GB-based kernels and utilities are all safe.

As to which FF18 CWM to choose:

The chain of "EMMC superbrick safety" looks like this:

Wipe Data Nandroid ROM Installs which
Factory Reset Restore perform format
| | (mostly older AOSP/AOKP)
+--------|---------+ |
recovery update-binary (packaged in update.zip)
| |
+--------- kernel ----------+

Whichever item you look at, if you have a safe version, every operation above is safe.

Nandroid backups are always safe, regardless.

ROM Installs which do NOT do format() in the install script are always safe.

update-binary is included in the ROMs update.zip. In general it isn't provided by the kernel or recovery.

CWM touch implements a hybrid solution where the recovery ignores the update-binary in the ROM's update.zip and substitutes a known safe update-binary instead. While this does avoid the format() issue, it could cause some scripts to not install properly.

FF18+CWM-agat-src has a safe "recompiled" kernel, so all operations above it are safe - wipe data, nandroid restore, ROM installs which do format(). It happens to have safe recovery also, but that is redundant with the safe kernel.

FF18+CWM-agat has safe recovery repacked with stock unsafe kernel, so all operations above recovery are safe, like wipe data/factory reset and nandroid restore. As long as your custom ROM doesn't do format() in the install script, then this will be safe for your ROM install (that means most ROM installs are safe, except older AOSP/AOKP). Your ROM can still do format(), but it needs to include a "safe" update-binary.

Be careful of being overconfident if you use FF18+CWM-agat-src. Which the "safe" kernel assures you that everything is safe *while you are using that kernel*, often ROMs include their own kernel/recovery, so you might unwittingly install an "unsafe" kernel when you thought you were still using a safe one.

So, I used this to root and install Clockwork recovery on my phone. Now I want to get the ICS update through Sprint. How do I get rid of Clockwork recovery without losing my data? Is that possible?

Can I do the manual update to ICS (Sprint version, not custom ROM) using Clockwork Recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I think the easiest way for you to go to ICS is to use the pre-rooted FF18 ODIN OneClick:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721229

Backup your stuff and use the NoData version. If you don't have a lot of complex apps installed, there's a reasonable chance everything will just work. If not, you just use the Full version and restore your apps.

To answer your questions though, this package includes both the stock kernel/recovery and kernels repacked with CWM. Just choose Option C and then EL29 stock and you will get stock EL29 kernel and recovery without losing your data.

The Sprint OTA will not run on CWM. It will fail the integrity check when it trys to verify your existing kernel.

If you want to wait an hour I'll have a rooted OTA uploaded and you can try that instead. You CAN (actually must) run that on CWM.

sfhub... does this autoroot tool include chris41g's latest safe cwm? I'm currently using FF18 nodata release and have been using your one-click releases since EL29. I have some kind of recovery on it but its not clockworks and not sure if it's safe to use. I'd like to have CWM back on it and if possible, chris41g's latest in case I might want to try other custom ICS or AOKP/CM9 in the future...

once again, thx for all your hard work for the E4GT community...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
It includes

FF18+CWM-agat-src which is a recompiled kernel that is safe from EMMC along with agat's variation of CWM. chris worked with agat on this release, but it isn't the same as chris's CWM, however it is safe.

FF18+CWM-agat this is the same safe CWM as above, but repacked with the stock unsafe kernel. That means all operations handled by the recovery like wipe data/factory reset, and nandroid restore are safe. There is only slight exposure if a ROM install does a format() and include an unsafe update-binary in their installs. AFAIK no *current* ROMs do that anymore, but if you install older AOKP/CM9 ROMs you might run into that situation.

You can always just use Mobile ODIN to install whichever CWM you desire, or you can just stick the zImage from any ROM install package into the copy2sd\000root directory and choose the "generic" zImage option (there is a video on how to do that in the first post. Basically the generic zImage option will install any zImage you want to provide in the same fashion as the built-in zImage (kernel/recovery)

I used this autoroot to put FF18+CWM-agat-src and I flashed CM9 Alpha6. It actually overwrote that recovery and installed CWM v5.5.0.4.

I'm re-downloading the one-click FF18 and flash that, then flash the FF18+CWM-agat-src recovery again....because I'm not sure about this v5.5.0.4.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
CM9 includes its own kernel and recovery. Many ROMs include their own kernel/recovery so it is often the case when you flash a ROM it will overwrite what you have.

5.5.0.4 included with CM9A6 is safe to flash other ROMs.

I think the paths are slightly different in CM9 from what Auto Root expects and that is why the install doesn't work.

Battery not charging

I quickly perused the forum and could not find the following issue.

After doing this CWM install, my phone will not shut down and charge at the same time. Today I was in town and could not get to a charger in time. Well, my battery died and my phone shut down. Once I arrived at my abode, I put my phone on the charger. Once on the charger the phone tried to turn itself on and then quickly turned off because the battery was dead. I kept the charger on and it continued to loop this way until I pulled out my other battery and installed it. I put it on the charger and was charging just fine.

I went ahead and re-installed the Seidio 3200mAh battery and once again the loop. Is there a known issue with this ROM? Before doing installing this rom, I was able to charge my phone in the off position. After installation, I was never able to charge off because once I inserted the charger it would just turn on and go from there.

UPDATE: I did a factory reset and after getting a clean slate the S2 is working normal. However the battery drain is still more than I liked but I am sticking with this ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sam Sung:
I updated to FF18 using the Odin NoData file (preserving data). I then installed CWM-agat-src via the autoroot pkg. I noted a few issues, so I created a nandroid and then restored an EL29 nandroid I created yesterday. I then returned to Odin to install the full FF18. However, it stalls at 'setting connection' and refuses to go further. I assume this is because even though I restored back to EL29, the Baseband version from ff18 was retained.

Can you recommend a way to get the full FF18 install?

Thanks!

After using ICS for awhile, I flashed back to EL29 using the one click Odin at this link:
