As I told my previous post I followed your procedure to grab the latest firmware while upgrading my devide but the zip file disappeared so quickly that I could not succeed to copy it.
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] tanclo:
rooting procedure ICS

I followed this ultra simple procedure described by a26196030

simply install the stock rom ICS and then allow to boot up

Then enter download mode and odin flash the recovery of your choice and then boot up

Then enter recovery and tegrak recovery flash the SU.Busybox.zip

Then update your binary from superuser app .. do it a few times to be cool

I also installed the Busybox installer to update busybox though I'm not sure it's necessary

I used Tegrak's build 36 recovery for the E120K FC02 firmware

and used the SU.Busybox.zip posted in the thread here AT bbs.gfan.com

You should use chrome and register there and then comment/thank the poster

in order to get the su.busybox.zip

(Sorry, I don't want to breach the posting rules at bbs.gfan but I guess if you pm me I might help you to register nudge nudge)

You can find build 36 or 32 or whatever for your Variants here AT pspmaster.tistory

In the thread, a26196030 suggested you use E120L build 32 recovery but i suppose you can try the more recent build as well if you like

I didn't flash tegrak's kernel (flashing tegrak's kernel isn't suggested in the rooting guide)

I am using the official kernel from the stock and no problems so far

Good luck!

I understand - I actually live on the edge and pull the cable out as it enters download mode

that way Kies Hangs and I get to copy it over at leisure :-)

I was asking someone to grab it as I dreamed of rooting the roms using ext4_utils loop mounting and then rooting the firmware but I didn't succeed. There is now a much easier way to root. I posted it here somewhere.

Good luck and enjoy yourself
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] Silver_Seagull:
You posted about the ext4_utils, but nothing about an ICS root... don't leave us hanging! What method roots the 4.0 update?!

Everything splendid. SetCPU updated well and my galaxy isnt a brick. I wiped data, wiped cache a few times and still no sign of the super brick bug.
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] Silver_Seagull:
Thanks for the reply! I got my ICS rooted!

I am going to one-up you though, I'm going to post my own guide for the E120S that skips the Chinese forum :D

Begin

Go to Tegrak Maker's Page and download the "Tegrak-Kernel-Build-38-for-SHV-E120S-FD24.recovery.tar"

only

.

If you don't have it, get Odin3(v1.85) from somewhere.

Go to the Official Home of SuperUser and download Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip.

Connect USB storage and move the Superuser .zip file to /tegrak/update/ (if it doesn't exist, create it.)

Put your phone into download mode (power it off, then hold

Volume Down

+

Home

+

Power

until you get a screen in green and black. Release the keys and press

Volume Up

to enter Download mode).

You should have the phone connected via USB, obviously.

Fire up Odin. You should see a box light up with "COM#" inside of it.

Click "PDA" and find the Tegrak-Kernel-Build-38-for-SHV-E120S-FD24.recovery.tar you downloaded earlier. (The box next to 'PDA' will check itself. This is OK.)

Do not check or un-check anything else.

Click 'Start'. Do not unplug your phone, do not remove the battery from the phone. This should be quick, but may take a minute or two.

Your phone should restart. Allow it to boot fully.

Shut down your phone.

Boot your phone into recovery by holding

Volume Up

+

Volume Down

and

Power

.

Choose to install a zip. You should see the Superuser zip in the list.

Exit/Reboot when it is done.

Your App Drawer should have a 'Superuser' app in it now. Run it and make sure you get the all-clear/busybox.

Congrats, you're now rooted!

ICS 4.0.3 Rooting

I rooted the ICS 4.0.3 that I got from Samsung kies for SHV-E120L. It was successful and phone is working normally.. But I can't fix the messaging problem with any sms applications and not even with the Stock sms app. It has the same problem as in the earlier Korean ROMs the video call button exists and the messaging problem remains unsolved can you help me with this?
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] tanclo:
That's nice and more detailed than the chinese forum 5 lines of instructions.

Except one note... The superuser.zip

I tried it as my first approach but it didn't do the trick for the E120K

I needed su.busybox.zip which installs su binary busybox and does the symlinks in xbin

I can't attach it here but I have it in my minus if anyone finds it is needed.

Congratulations you did it too! :-)
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] Silver_Seagull:
Thanks for the compliment :)

Regarding superuser, the "trick" to using the straight superuser zip is you have to run the apk (called, unsurprisingly, 'Superuser' in your app drawer) - this will download and install busybox for you, without having to find a particular zip file (which we all know is maddening to do).

Other users doing it with either su.busybox.zip or just the superuser.zip please let us know what works and what doesn't! :)

:EDIT:

What I am saying is that your custom su.busybox.zip does the last step I mentioned (run the app/update) itself while you're in Recovery Mode. I don't think it's wrong, I just don't think it's worth the hassle of maintaining a whole new .zip release to skip a few clicks :)

Bro/sister I did that... Tried update from superuser.apk and also installed the newer supersu and tried that.. EVEN the Superuser update fixer... Each time it failed to find binary su.

Hi guy,

I recently updated my E120S to ICS using KIES.

The "com.android.phone" error message keep coming up everytime i touch the screen or every 5seconds.

I tried to update from TL 1.1 and a stock E120S ROM but both have the same result.

Am I doing something wrong? Will the new kernel fix my problem?

Thank you
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] xenitu:
You must do a factory reset from recovery. İf you cannot göre intihar recovery with 3 button combo, use adb reboot recovery
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] wyruZ:
Thanks for your answer.

I fkashed the new kernel (build 39) and whenever i try the 3 button combo or the reboot recovery by adb I acces the "home page" of the kernel where I only have 3 different type of wipe to do (wich I did but didnt worked).

I'm going to try to flash on an official ROM with the new kernel or another and do the factory reset, i'll let you know if it works
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] tanclo:
Make sure you used

Tegrak-Kernel-Build-39-SHV-E120S-UE11.recovery.tar

and

Tegrak-Kernel-Build-39-for-SHV-E120S-UE11.zip

Open Tegrak Kernel application and check

You should have on Top .. Tegrak Build 39 and your model code SHV-E120S

Then choose "Reboot Recovery Mode"

On Top of Recovery screen, Tegrak Kernel Build 39 twitter.com/tegrak SHV-E120S UE11

Choose Exit (stock recovery)

You might see some error lines in red (a minor issue concerning an icon, which is an issue with our roms and the galaxy note when updating via Kies). Just proceed to

Hit the Volume Down key once

wait .. choose wipe cache

wait a while then hit the volume key again

Now you should be able to choose Wipe/data/factory reset

If you need an official ROM I suggest going all the way back EL27 firmware.. Check my signature for rooting procedure and in that thread are some older firmwares

Good luck

Unfortunately SMS problem still there. The device is great now except SMS. I want to go deeper to to solve this issue but I do not know where to start.
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] youngpic48:
Third party SMS apps don't work? I was thinking of upgrading but I need the SMS for work.
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] xenitu:
Hey guys I have an idea.

I think the SMS problem is due to the fact that our operator is not KT (For K version), SKT(For S version) and LG (For L version)

And as I can guess the customers of this operators can send and receive SMS with no problems.

In the past years while we cannot reach paid applications in Market (Now play store), we were using a program called Market Enabler to fake market. So we could buy paid applications.

I think we can also fake messaging application like we did it before with market.

So i found market enabler and installed to my phone. But I need the numeric code of KT operator to enter to the market enabler application.

I searched internet but could not succeed to find the code for KT or the other korean network providers.

Can we find the numeric code for KT? I want to give a try.

[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] Heat79:
Important!!!

Guys,

I just wanted to share with all of you my experience after using both phones the E120L and E120S.

Many claim the E120L is the better option simply because more people own it...and that there are more available roms for it...unfortunately that is not true unless your country is using the same mobile network configuration as the Korean LG U+. LG U+ apparently has decided to lock its' E120L model to its network configuration. I have tried all the roms out there but there are still issues with this model specially sending out SMS and MMS messages. There is still no solid rom or solution out there for those two issues yet.

Apparently the main issue with the E120L is the baseband. To my knowledge this information is stored in two files mdm.bin and amss.bin which both can be found in most official and custom roms. To verify this information I have done a stupid experiment which I do not recommend ...and I repeat "do not recommend" you might simply brick your phone. I have flashed an official "E120S" rom to the E120L phone using Odin. It took a while to boot up and had many FC's but eventually worked. Once flashed I tried sending out SMS and MMS and both worked "flawlessly" with not a single hickup. Unfortunately the rom is not stable on the E120L so I had to remove it and flash back to a 120L rom. If someone has a way to flash the amss and mdm to an E120L rom then there might be hope. There are ways to do it with CWM but there is no working version of CWM for both phones as of yet.

The E120S had no issues at all when it came to SMS and MMS. It connected to my network flawlessly right out of the box. It's only disadvantage is the lack of custom roms and support from community unlike its brother the E120L.

So if you live outside Korea and looking for a better network coverage and compatability then S would be your choice. If you don't care about SMS or MMS and interested in more custom roms and community support then go for L.

TC.
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] marco5:

I'm acutally using 3HK on my e120s. And yes, it's an S so my SMS and MMS works perfectly.

That said, when ever I switch from WiFi to 3G data, a stupid msg will pop up for a few secs telling me to choosing a proper telecom provider. I'm guessing the stock rom only wants you to use S.Korea carrier.

But everything works on my phone in HK. 3G, SMS, MMS all good.
