Yes it's stock room. I just rooted it and installed superuser. I'll try to get an earlier version of Odin-I hear version 4.44 is not out yet so the latest is the one I have 4.43 i believe. Also, I'm not able to boot into Clockwork, only stock recovery-I believe is the open box/arrow/droid guy screen. When I select "zip from external sd" there is nothing there. Another post mention that stock recovery doens't read external SD but only internal storage.

T-mobile Galaxy S 2

Again, thank you so much. Yes, I had to download from a couple of websites the Odin and the Driver files and most where corrupt. Also, I have a T-mobile Galaxy S 2. What's the easiest way to root it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
This thread is dedicated to the rooted Exhibit II kernel. Please post questions about the Galaxy S II elsewhere, thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] richardlibeau:
I use superoneclick 2.3.3 setting zergrush. You can use zergrushroot or unlock root too for the sg 2. Just enable usb debugging on phone, hook to computer, open up superoneclick and click root. It'll take a few minutes but when its done it will be rooted and you will have the superuser app on your phone. Make sure you run superoneclick as administrator. It's funny about that sometimes but it works everytime I have used it. If you want to root the EX II just use Jocala's T-679 Rooted kernel zip and it'll be rooted. Just flash it thruogh recovery and your done.

Accessory Development Kit (ADK) support

Fantastic work Jocala! I installed the kernel and it works great but unfortunately it doesn't seem to support the Accessory Development Kit (ADK). Apparently, it is just a matter of adding the CONFIG_USB_ANDROID_ACCESSORY config option.

I noticed some kernel sources posted on Jocala's github. Is this kernel based on those sources? I am willing and able (with some trial and error perhaps) to rebuild the kernel - I just want to make sure I'm on the right track.

Thanks in advance for any pointers that will help me get this up and running.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
That's for connecting an arduino controller, right? AFAIK, neither of my kernels (both based on Samsung source) are patched for that. It's not selectable in any of the config files with Samsung's source.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] seangust:
Yes, it is for the arduino.

Hmmm, I think you are very right. There is no mention of CONFIG_USB_ANDROID_ACCESSORY anywhere in the kernel. The Google ADK documentation says it is supported in Android 2.3.4 and up, but I guess it never made it into the Samsung code stream.

Thanks for your time, I will investigate other ways to connect my phone to arduino (bluetooth maybe).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dwolfman:
Does this also allow for some other frequencies when underclocking? I've got a already rooted Exhibit II (used ZergRush method), so would have to use the "for rooted" option anyway. Just want to make sure the kernel is the same between the two, and what frequencies it can do.

Right now in SetCPU, I only have the following MHz frequencies for the CPU:

122

245

368

768

806

1024

I would like to be able to set it to something between 368 and 768, like about 500 MHz or so. I'm thinking that will be my sweet spot to run this at and keep battery usage down. At 368 I can do most everything I want to with the phone when not in a phone call, but a couple things are a little sluggish. I'd like a little more speed than that.

If this kernel has more frequency options, I'll load it. :-)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Nope, sorry. The freqs are static. I haven't investigated adding extras or a having it be a user-specified freq.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] richardlibeau:
Try switching set cpu to nvidia integra settings they are different and have one for 450 something i think

Just figured out how to root phone without computer using zergrush script with script manager .Its amazing even have a widget for it too. So no more need for zergrush on the computer or usb cable. Just take the zergrush file and run it as root using script manager and you are rooted. Cool as hell. Also can do it with unroot to unroot phone too.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dwolfman:
Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't work.

While it changed the frequencies in SetCPU, it didn't change what was actually used. The actual frequencies used stayed the same.

Guess I'll have to wait for an update before I try it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] send5pam:
Does anyone know an easy way to unroot this?

Or at the least, factory reset this?

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Do you have clockworkmod installed as recovery?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] send5pam:
I used your kernel mod, so I guess I should have clockworkmod installed. I have never used it before though. Do you have a link to instructions I can follow to do the unrooting?

Thank you for the great root by the way. Works perfectly on my SE II 4G.

Hi, supernoob question

Where exactly can I find the internal sd? I see two drives, and in one of the drives there's a file called external_sd, but I don't see anything that says internal sd anywhere. Do I just drop it in the drive that doesn't contain the external_sd file? Thank you!

also, do i need to factory reset or anything before starting?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
The internal sd is called sdcard. No wipe is needed to install the kernel.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] swongy:
there isn't a file called sdcard, but there's one called usbStorage? i was going to post a screenshot of the folders but noobs can't lol
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
usbStorage is a folder on the internal sdcard :) If you see that folder, you're looking at /mnt/sdcard.

With the stock Exhibit II you have two locations for storage: /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/sdcard/external_sd. When you are running the stock rom you copy your zip file to /mnt/sdcard (it's also symlinked to /sdcard).

So, both /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard point to the same thing: the built-in 1Gb of storage provided by Samsung. Within that folder, you'll find the usbStorage folder, as well as other folders. Drag and drop your zip file to the top level of /mnt/sdcard (not into usbStorage or other folders that live on /mnt/sdcard).

The folder /mnt/sdcard/external_sd points to whatever removable sdcard you have installed in your phone. When you boot into Samsung's stock recovery, it does not see your removable sdcard.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] swongy:
thank you so much Jocala! the kernel root thingy worked great =)

i don't see them on the safe-to-remove list on the wiki for this phone, but has anyone had problems removing Blio, Social Hub, Books, Highlight, T-Mobile Mall or T-Mobile Name ID?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alvinspeaks:
add bln mod to kernel

is it possible if you add the bln mod to the jocala kernel. this way it'll be easy to know if there is a notification.

Root Samsung Exhibit 2 4g

- Would like to know if it is a must to install custom ROM or I can just remove the bloatware using Titatnium backup.

In general, no a custom rom is not required. You can root your device and make your own modifications. Titanium Backup may be the only tool you need, although I would say ClockworkMod is a must-have.

Samsung Exhibit 2 4g

Hi

I tried to root my phone with Zergrush. It ran the script and said 'DONE' at the end. But I could not access the root. Downloaded rootcheck app and it confirmed that I do not have root access.

I wanted to try Jacola's method. Downloaded t679root to external SD card. Tried to go to recovery mode by pressing volume down and power buttons. But I am getting the following message:

==============

Warning!!

A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications.

If you want to download a custom OS, press volume up key. Otherwise, press the volume down key to cancel.

Volume up: Continue

Volume down: cancel (restart phone)

=========

When I press volume up key I am getting the message "Downloading, do not turn off the target". Nothing happens next. When I press volume down it just reboots.

Can anybody help please?? :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
You are putting your phone into Download mode. You need to put your phone into recovery mode.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] new2it:

No When I boot into recovery it takes me to the stock recovery not the CWM.

This is because the Kernel Only zip does not include CWM. If you are getting stock recovery, CWM is not installed. Here's the link for CWM only flash.

rooted and now "battery disconnected"

NOOB here.

Jocala- Thank you so much for you work here, rooting with your t679-root zip file was a cinch.

What I can't figure out is why my battery is suddenly no longer working. Right after rooting I got a little pop-up message that said "battery disconnected" which I ignored because the battery icon still displayed and it was plugged in. I figured if the battery was disconnected the phone would turn off. However, the batter also won't charge and has slowly lost all charge and now won't turn on.

I have tried removing and replacing the battery, tried charging with a wall charger and through my computer.

Would really appreciate your help figuring out what to do.

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Your battery issue is unconnected to rooting. You may need a new battery or you may want to exchange your phone. If you do, don't mention the word root to the rep.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] richardlibeau:
That happened me last week. Just wipe dalvik/cache and reboot. Or flash clean rom. Worked for me after that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brzimmer:
Confirming the disconnected battery issue

It may be unrelated to rooting, but I don't think it's unrelated to the custom kernel. I have the same problem. I just bought a new Exhibit II 4G. Before installing anything on it I wanted to root it. I read this entire thread, the Exhibit II wiki, and Jocala's Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G thread. The phone is running Android 2.3.5 on the stock 2.6.35.7 kernel. I didn't want to update yet to 2.3.6, so I tried installing t679.root.1.5.zip. Everything seemed fine. (It's rooted, Superuser is installed, as is the the cwm-based recovery v5.5.0.4b. The splash screen shows Samsung GALAXY EXHIBIT 4G (NOT Exhibit II, like the unmodded splash screen). The Kernel Version reports 2.6.35.7-jocala jocala@ubuntu #4, the Build # GINGERBREAD.VKJ1, Baseband T679UVKJ1.) However, like DevinSM before me in this thread, and Djharkavy in this one, I get the "battery disconnected" message when I plug in the charger or connect via USB cable to my PC (and by all indications, it is NOT charging).

I cleared the cache and dalvik, did a ROMwipe, flashed back to stock using T679.flash2.stock.zip, and reinstalled multiple times, Googled and tried multiple battery tricks, but all with the same end result. Still got the "disconnected" message.

On a whim, I flashed kernel.update.exhibit2.zip over top and, lo and behold, the battery message was fixed! However, there was bad news: now Wifi was broken. Everything else looked the same--I still had the cwm-based recovery v5.5.0.4b, the Android version was still 2.3.5, there was the new Galaxy Exhibit spash screen--EXCEPT the Kernel Version now reported 2.6.35.7-custom jocala@ubuntu #7. So one problem solved, but another created. I haven't read enough to know if there is a fix for the wifi problem.

Finally, I flashed t679.uvle1.deodex.01.zip, and that fixes everything, but it brings me up to Android 2.3.6, which I didn't want to do. I want to play around with 2.3.5 for a while, so I can see if there's any noticeable difference once I go to 2.3.6, and from reading these threads, it appears that it's possible to use the custom kernel while still on stock Android 2.3.5. I'm just wondering if the people who were successful at it were using an older version of Jocala's custom rooted kernel to get there.

I do want to say that it was a breeze swiching between the custom kernel and custom and stock roms, thanks to Jocala's work and instructions. So thanks much for that! I hope someone can figure out this minor detail.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] richardlibeau:
Flash. T679 kernel beta 3zip
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Thanks for your comprehensive post. I'll be looking at this, but regarding kernel.update.exhibit2.zip it is specifically for people running an earlier kernel who want the new Galaxy Exhibit boot branding but otherwise don't want to upgrade:

The mismatch between the kernel contained in 679-root.1.2.zip and modules on your phone break wifi. Kernel and modules must match.

p.s. Returning your phone to stock 2.3.5 is easily done.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
DevinSM, what version of Android was your Galaxy Exhibit / Exhibit II running when you flashed the rooted kernel?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brzimmer:
Thanks, Jocala, and you're welcome for the info. I can see that you put a lot of work into this, and I'm happy to help any way I can. I'll provide any info you need. And yes, I know it was easy to get back to 2.3.5--in large part because of your files and comprehensive instructions! So thanks for that, too.

Ricardlibeau, are you saying I should flash t679.kernel.beta3.zip? Or just that is what you had used? Because that file is no longer available, as far as I can find. (At one time it was here, t679.kernel.beta3.zip, but no longer. I'm guessing from reading the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G thread here that it evolved into the current t679.root.1.5.zip and the old versions were taken offline.)

Thanks guys.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
The beta kernel isn't available.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DevinSM:
Thanks Jocala, I was worried it might be, took it into the store and swapped for a charged battery and it worked fine but wouldn't charge so it might be the port. My battery was able to charge fine in another phone as well. How important do you think restoring to stock is if I send it in?

Thanks! was excited to give this a try, didn't work but got to learn how to clear it on the way.

Battery is dead again but excited to try this tomorrow! Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
DevinSM, I may have spoken too soon. Please let me know what version of Android you originally had. I suspect 2.3.5...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DevinSM:
Ashamed to say I don't remember. Had checked for software updates before out of curiosity and was told android was current and there were no updates. I'm unfamiliar with how Android/Tmobile send updates but I do know I was never requested to update or notified about an update if that's how it happens. So based on that I should have been on 2.3.5?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
I believe so, yes.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DevinSM:
Was reading through the recent conversation but unsure if i follow. Does having 2.3.5 bode well for me flashing the 2.3.6 kernal brzimmer settled on?

On another noob note, at 325.9mbs it's fairly large, can I flash this from with no problems?

thanks again jocala, brzimmer and richardlibeau for your interest/help
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Flashing from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 has worked for me and many others. 250~300 Mb is pretty standard for a stock ROM for this phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] richardlibeau:
Just wipe dalvik/cache or use rom wipe in cwm recovery. Yes you can flash rom no problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brzimmer:
Devin, I think if you turn OFF your phone and plug it in, the battery WILL charge.

When I had flashed the custom rom using t679.root.1.5.zip, if I had the phone plugged in when I first turned it on, it would start out charging, according to the lock screen. It wasn't until part way into the boot process, as it was doing the media scanning of the internal and external SD cards, that the charging indicator ("Charging xx %") would suddenly disappear from the lock screen. But when I had the phone powered down, all indications were that it was charging.

Also, I see that Jocala has reposted the t679.root.1.3.zip version of the custom rooted kernel (see the first post in this thread) that Richardlibeau said worked for him with Android 2.3.5. So Devin, you can try that too and let us know if that resolves everything.

Thanks again, one and all.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DevinSM:
awesome people on this Forum

Thanks folks!

My phone can charge again. I flashed t679.uvle1.deodex.01.zip and things are nice.

Guess I should have been a bit wizer about what that would entail as far as my settings and apps being reset as well, but what matters is phone working.

Would love to close this happy story by soliciting a bit more Noob advice. Exhibit ii is my first android, coming from an old jailbroken 3g iphone. I knew I wanted to root before I got it, now having successfully done so (THANKS) what now?

are there a few "musts" that a noob should do to bring the kind of 80% of benefits for 20% of possible effort?

One more time thanks again good people

Samsung Galaxy Exhibit II thread - thanks to Jocula

I have been following the forums for months; to this new section regarding "rooted kernels v1.3/1.5 for Galaxy Exhibit II 4g. I recently updated this phone just purchased not long ago and rooted it after the stock ROM was updated with Kies. I won't be the first one on the XDA forums that say the major security fix for v 2.3.6 seems to plug the zergrush root exploit; making it extremely difficult to do a simple root!:mad: Thanks to Jocula, I was able to do a root; flashing the kernel. With contributors like jocula even a NOOB should be able to walk through it. BTW, us old guys are not likely to root and modify phones... I do. It my 4th one either unlocking or rooting:laugh:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] richardlibeau:
Jocala is the man who gets it done you're right about that. I stuck with 2.3.5 xquizit rom because i didn't really see any major improvements with the update. My rom i tweaked out myself so its blazing fast,super loud, custom boot with music on start up and i get over 3400 on the quadrant scores with antutu. Thanks to jocala i was able to add the new galaxy exhibit logo from the update and that's all I was really missing from my rom. Now I am good to go for awile until I can figure out something else to tweak. Waiting for overclocking kernel that's about it.

xda forum posters as help to fix androids

Customizing smartphones is relatively new to me; I am usually at the low cost end of android market. 2.3.6 upgrade on the Galaxy Exhibit II IMHO was nothing more than security patch "to break rooting" Couldn't find anything out there until I found *jocula's* fix. Without rooting you're stuck with not only google's bloat but Tmobile's as well. And that really makes low to intermediate priced phones laggy. I use Gemini Application Manager to block programs from autoloading. Now that v2.3,6 Galaxy is finally rooted again; I will get Titanium Backup and remove apps that I have tested by blocking. TB actually allows me to back it up before I uninstall them and eventually delete. Without rooting, the phone sucks up the onboard RAM memory running useless bloat. Google's bloat is one thing; but the crap that Tmobile puts on.... grrrr:mad:
