Sprint doesn't seem to care most of the techs are rooted. If it was bricked then yes they would be looking at you funny and you might have to pay a fee or your warranty is no good.
[General Questions and Answers] abag:
I've recently bought a galaxy s2 with BVKJ4 kernel version and i want to root it. I found this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113928), but i'm not sure if those files are insecure kernels.

Can somebody tell me if I am right?

And something else, to unroot my phone without voiding my warranty should I use a jig?

I know it sounds stupid, but i want to be sure. :D
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
Have a look at the xda bookmarks in my signature. There's something in there called Easy Rooting Toolkit. You just make sure you've got the drivers installed by Kies, plug your phone into your PC and run a file. That's it - you're rooted.

The jig is for removing the custom ROM counter, and has nothing to do with rooting. It's highly unlikely that your carrier would consider your phone out of warranty just for rooting, but it's likely in some clause somewhere that they can if they want to.

There are "unroot" methods available, but I've never been vaguely interested in them so that's where my help stops.

Good luck mate - enjoy your S2 :)
[General Questions and Answers] abag:
Just one more question:

After I root my s2 with Easy Rooting Toolkit, can I backup the stock kernel (beacause I want to delete a few apps). If yes, how? And what's an adb?
[General Questions and Answers] Makrilli:
After rooting you can install app called rom manager, it can install custom recovery which you can use for many things such as taking backups of your rom and restoring them

is there a way to update the CWM only? currently i have v.4.0.x.x. but it lacks functionality compared to v.5. is it possible?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ludeguy:
guess it can't be done? :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
No-one replied in the 19 minutes you gave them so you decided to bump?

To update your CWM recovery, you'd have to flash a different kernel which comes with a newer version.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
No, flash a kernel with an updated version, also dont expect answers the moment you post.

I use to have sometimes 3 in a day on Gingerbread with root only but since I've put GingerVolt on I haven't had any so far I could try and see if I could get my phone to do what it did before.

I was having it 3-4 times a day, more with Blitz 2.0, so I went back to stock GV1.3 today. It hasn't happened since I went back to the stock kernel.

This is a project trying to get CyanogenMod 9 working on the HTC Wildfire S.

If you are a developer and you're working on a device with msm7x27 hardware, contact me, we have a dev only IRC channel to work together.

People who helped during development, with their input, knowledge and patches:

alquez (CM7 port and kernel fixes)

Droste (Input, help and patches)

PabloPL (Thanks for the input)

WinSuk We worked together on fixes for Marvel and Liberty

There will be an official marvel (unofficial CM9) release next week (week 18). I need to prepare for that.

TODO:

* Get camera fully working.

The HTC Aria (Liberty) uses the my kernel tree now. Thanks WinSuk for the trust :)

NOTE: Don't send me private messages asking for a HOWTO. Everything is documented in the CyanogenMod Wiki. You can't help if you're not able to set it up on your own.

How can i help??
[HTC Wildfire S] benjamingwynn:
Awesome
[HTC Wildfire S] modpunk:
Some posts above I wrote that the problem is SurfaceFlinger not starting. The reason is it can't open KGSL device. The only thing you can do is to tell me what's the problem. I have to dig into the code check check what it doing on the device and then try to figure out what's missing from the kernel side.

If you know don't know how Linux on the system level works, understand C/C++ and know how to debug these things there is nothing you can do.

If you know these things I can send you the rom or the instructions how to build it.

Sorry if I'm rude.

We needed gralloc.msm7x27 and copybit.msm7x27. Now it looks like mass storage support isn't working and kills us.

So what works and what doesn't any ideas yet?
[HTC Wildfire S] modpunk:
It boots, you can access the shell, follow logcat, then it reboots ...

The problem is the time is short to get on the device and figure out what's going on. I need to attach strace to some daemons to see what they are doing. Maybe tomorrow...
[HTC Wildfire S] eoghan2t7:
No problem I hope to get my faster laptop this week so I can sync the cm9 repo etc and hopefully get something booted ;)

Yeah getting a faster laptop tomorrow so ill not be online as mush tomorrow while I get the ics repo synchronized and download the cm7 kernel source to see what happens after the first complied version ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] ONeill123:
Yea hope it will be good!

[HTC Sensation] Longhair:
I followed the instructions to root the phone here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

I installed Titanium Backup (free version) and made sure it has root permissions. So far, so good...

In TB, I go to Backup/Restore, select "Force remove app (by recovery exploit)", YES and the phone reboots. However, I end up with a "triangle & android robot" and the only way to reboot the phone is to remove the battery.

Could someone give me a link to a working solution?

I have an HTC Sensation XE - just got today and I want to remove Facebook, Flicker, and Twitter.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ThaPirato:
don't do that step, that's old and for temp method when you dont have s-off,

best way to do it is, go to titanuim backup and select the facebook app, and it should have uninstall option click on that and it will remove the app or you can remove it via adb, make sure you are rooted
[HTC Sensation] Longhair:
HUH?

The guide I followed is called: [Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on.

The app I tried to use is Titanium Backup (free version).
[HTC Sensation] Phantogenic:
As far as I'm aware, Facebook is not a system requirement so can be uninstalled via the applications menu or via the market. Same with twitter. Titanium backup pro gives the option to freeze also. Thepirato is right - you should use titanium to first make a back up of all your applications and then uninstall by long pressing on the app.
[HTC Sensation] Longhair:
It does not allow me to uninstall facebook - only Force Stop.

Titanium Backup (free version) does not uninstall it either because on the first reboot, this shows up:

and the only way to reboot is to remove the battery.
[HTC Sensation] ilostchild:
Go to titanium app go to Facebook don't press and hold. Just tap on Facebook app in titanium backup and it should give you a small menu gives you.option to backup, freeze or uninstall use that uninstall option I can't post s picture cause I'm on my phone
[HTC Sensation] Longhair:
Thanks :)

I was holding on it waiting for the menu to pop up instead of tapping on it. Makes a word of difference :o
[HTC Sensation] y2p:
Thank you for this thread. I was able to remove useless apps for me like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr etc. with the help of Titanium Backup.
[HTC Sensation] Phantogenic:
Be very careful removing apps like twitter - as sense can often FC as a result.
[HTC Sensation] whysebastian:
you could use any root explorer app and go into system/app/ and delete but im pretty sure facebook isnt a system app
[HTC Sensation] Scaari:
Thanks for the tip ;)

I deleted facebook & facebook-chat with " Root Unistaller ", works perfekt for me.
[HTC Sensation] whynot66:
Fyi in tb press menu and then batch scroll to uninstall deselect all and then scroll the list ticking any bloatware you don't want, i delete locations (laputa) fb watch dock mode twitter etc then it removes the all at once very quickly, always reboot after to clear cache
[HTC Sensation] y2p:
Can you please explain why?

After removing those useless apps, my Sense is running smooth as earlier though.
[HTC Sensation] jkolner:
I always removed a lot of apps with Titanium Backup after i flashed a new ROM.

I remove Facebook, Flicker, HTC Like, HTC Hub, Mail (i use Enhanced Email) Music live wallpaper, Car Home, Internet/Bookmarks (i Use DolphinBrowser), Bookshelf, Stock and News, Twitter, Friends Stream and many widgets.

I never had any problems becaus of that.

But remember to take a Nandroid backup befor you remove any apps.
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Yep.

Oftentimes we see advice to "go to a corporate store" or only deal with them for serious matters, but in fact, non-corporate stores can be a big help. Here in my area, the local corpstore got sold, and bought by a 'premium reseller'. With that, I found out yesterday, came a repair center. Awesome - I needed one. My headphone jack had become quite useless.

I went in, and within 20 minutes, one of the employees had replaced my headphone jack. No damage, no defects - 100% perfect. And much quicker than I expected. Thanks to TEP, I walked out without paying one red cent.

Why post this? Primarily to counterbalance the feedback on noncorp stores and Sprint repair centers that has come about here. Another user had his Epic all but destroyed by a sloppy solder job - quite unfortunate. But it's worth recognizing that such cases are a minority.

Fun fact: the employee who worked on my device built his Epic from a bunch of spare parts. Cool.

Andrew at the Auburn AL location: if you're reading this, thanks again. Got anything custom on your device? And did you notice I actually had both of Yelawolf's major releases ready in the music player? ;)

I'm the guy who had his phone destroyed by a faulty solder job.

Despite that, I was forced to go back to the very same store with the replacement epic a week after when it's screen crapped out. I ended up getting a good chuckle with the repair tech (different guy) as he put the guts from my new phone into the case of my old phone I since it was still in their inventory. Now I have a frankenphone of my own lol.

Overall it was a good experience at the end of the day.

AMERICANS! Lol..I'm in Georgia, and I suffer the Epic as well..well, did suffer it, on my fourth one now (first two I thought had faulty compasses because the SkyMap app would not show anything but UP even when pointing down- did you know when you calibrate your devices' accelerometer in the settings you tap the button and then place the phone SCREEN DOWN on a level surface to get it calibrated? Neither did the guys at the store...or I for that matter, until phone number 3, hmmm).

Any of you guys have a riffbox?
[Epic 4G General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Sounds like your Epic is suffering you, and not the other way around. ;-)
[Epic 4G General] wispoffates:
I've been to 3 corporate stores and 2 non corporate in the last few days. Sadly none of them were able to help me out but all were courteous and helpful. I usually go to the non corporate store down the street when my Sprint phone (various) have needed service and they've done a wonderful job.

Back story on the current problem in case anyone has any advice. A few days ago my epic had a sad accident where the LCD has developed a crack causing it not display anything. ADB tells me the guts are fine and the gorilla glass doesn't have a mark on it. Sprint told me with TEP that screen replacement is free (IF they have a replacement screen around). Short of it no one has a replacement screen in Central Ohio it appears and no one will just order a screen. So it appears I'm stuck with the $100 deductible on the TEP... sucks
[Epic 4G General] luna_c666:
Asurion (I believe that is right) sent me a brand new phone with activation instructions and a return mailing envelope for my DOA phone. Just call the folks at customer service and explain to them your problem- no need to go anywhere, they should send it right to you..and you won't be without a phone for the RMA/repairs! I am sprint with TEP too, if that is what you are on they should do the same for you.
[Epic 4G General] wispoffates:
Thanks for idea I'm looking into them. The online portion bounced me saying for this kind of issue talk to a Sprint Maintaince location... I'll try giving Asurion a call tomorrow and see if I can get a better answer.
[Epic 4G General] luna_c666:
I just called Sprint Customer service..I dropped my phone and the screen wouldn't even come on, though touch was still active (could tell by haptic feedback). The Sprint CS will arrange it, not sure if calling Asurion direct would accomplish anything, I never did. As far as I can tell, they handle the warranty for the sprint TEP plans.

[Epic 4G General] Fire n mage:
I'm not sure if this has ever happened to anyone else, but, my charge port on my Epic is kinda wobbly, and it still charges, but I feel as if eventually, it won't charge anymore because it moves around so much. Could I just go to "corporate or non-corp." And have them look at this issue? And should I flash to stock before i take it in?
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
The non corporate store near me (columbia,MO) Changed out my charging port and they knew I was rooted... YMMV of course... better to be safe than sorry because if they see you are rooted and want to be asses they can flag your account and they will never work on your phone again... I would flash back to stock and have them fix it... if you have insurance it will be free... if not its $35...
[Epic 4G General] BubZX:
I had a corp store call me yesterday and ask me to call them back. I think I won a free nexus =-O

Finally found a place on the other side of Columbus that could do the repair. They were a non corporate shop but they had me in and out in 30 minutes. They also didn't care that I had the phone rooted (Ans that it didn't fully boot as I was debugging a CM9 build when the screen cracked) Had a nice chat with the technician about Cyanogen as she tore my phone down.
[Epic 4G General] Fire n mage:
Thanks a bunch flast! Yep I got the insurance so I'm go get that asap. Getting the epic 4g touch battery would lessen the amount I charge too.. :P

My Experience with corp vs. non corp stores.

I have lived in a city with a corporate store for the past year, two actually and one is a service center. My wife and have both had a couple little things go wrong on our epics this year. No matter where you go here they tell you to go to the service center and they work on your phone. Its done within two hours always. For me it has always been a repair, even with the screen was bad on mine they replaced the AMOLED not the phone.

The place I lived before this was a smaller town with no corporate owned stores, one of them was an authorized repair center and you always had to go there. I had several problems with my palm pre and every time I went there, I walked in and they gave me a refurb replacement and walked out.

I had insurance always, and any time I've had a problem my phones have been under warranty (first year). But I have go great service from both situations. I always assumed that the corp stores did the fixing and the non-corp stores just doled out refurbs as that has been my experience. But both have been very quick helpful and never cared about root or hacks, even though I have always returned to stock when I go there for service I chat up the guys about rooting or the old palm pre hacks. The old non-corp store turned me on to the pre hacking because I had some complaints about the phone that the hacks fixed.

Sprint may not have the best cell service, but their customer service has always been great from my standpoint, no matter where you go.
[Epic 4G General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
There is no way for this situation to actually happen. Once its on the DNR list, there is no way to replace your phone for free or get it removed from the list. The only option is an upgrade or Asurion.

Both corporate and 3rd party use the same system for repairs. If it was flagged, you could not get around it.

[Epic 4G General] quick99si:
I'm trying to think here but I'm almost convinced that the biggest corporate store + repair center in Chicago never actually fixed my phone. In fact, it's always the same story it seems...

Corporate store: 45 minute wait in line, 10 minutes to explain problem to customer care rep who relays vague information to tech, instructed to come back in about 1hr, then either get A) couldn't replicate problem so we did a hard reset for ya or B) we ordered you a new (-ly refurbished) phone so come back in 2-3 business days kthxbye

Non-corportate store: oh I see, we're going to order a new phone so come back in 2-3 business days.

It's hard to complain because I beat my phones silly and have yet to pay for a repair.

*corp did pull a brand new Epic 4G out of the box when I had to come back twice with signal issues (dBm was -94 in their store standing next to a Nexus showing -65!)
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Depends on what it was for. I went to a repair store for PRL/Profile error. The guy asked if I had 15 minutes to wait. I went and got a coffee and when I got back it updated perfectly. Sure I could have figure out how to do it, but really didn't have to time to have my phone down that long while I was at work. On physical repair I'd think of it more like a car accident repair. God knows what's going on until you get in there, sometimes and sometimes something totals your car that you'd never expect (ie. your computer and engine block get wrecked but everything else is fine besides body damage.)
