Hello.

I tried to root my girlfriend's phone using this method. Everything went fine - install successful etc. etc. Then I reboot the phone; Upon opening lockscreen it freezes..notification bar says: "Preparing SD-card" and once it starts doing that, the phone completely freezes. Have to just hold powerbutton to turn it off/reboot.

If I hurry and open lockscreen before it says "Preparing SD-card" I can navigate the widgetscreens etc. but there is NO content there. At first I am suspecting that the SD-card is ruined, but when I reboot back into CWM - I can navigate the SD-card just fine and see all content there and it seems fine..just as if when booting, the phone can't detect the SD-card or something...please help if anyone have a clue what this is or how I can solve it..

Thanks!

P.S. I forgot to say this: When using the Stock Recovery to install/run "CWM.zip" - I find it inside of ext-sdcard. When I enter CWM and try to run SU-Busybox-Installer.zip - I do not find it when selecgint "Install zip from SDCARD" but I find it when I select "Install zip from internal storage". It's as if the phone has mixed up the internal SD card with the exterior SD card..but I really have no idea, I am a noob with this :/

Hope someone can make sense of it, thanks!

EDIT: Another piece of information, after it says succesful installation blahblah (after installing SU-package) CWM also displays the following message:

E:unkown volume for path [/sd-ext]

That's all I got :)

jus wanna ask 1 thing..

m on stock ics 4.0.3..n if i this method of cwm n root will it increase my flash counter..?

n is cwm n root permanent..! do cwm appear for only 1st time..?
[Galaxy S II General] Christiancs1969:
I have no triangle:Di used just cwm zip then reboot into recovery and then flash the rooted ROM from external SD that you put on external SD. What ROM u gunna use

The cwm root is temp that's why it must be a ROM with root.then it will be permanent.as the kernel with rom you will flash will have the permanent root .

Hi Rachmat

I follow your guide and succesfuly root my BVLPH ICS stock rom.

I have only a small questions:

Your methode is to write CWM through a signed zip file .

This may interffere with the GSM signal?

I mean, before the root it was allways signal in my phone and now from time to time there is a signal loss and also sometime it say that there is no network.

Do you have any ideea what it coud be?

Thank you!

Dont try this with 4.0.4 version!!! If you use stock Recovery you'll sometime in near future be bricked, since 4.0.4 has the infamous eMMc_Brick_bug!!
[Galaxy S II General] Osyx:
Don't try to scare people of... It will work perfectly, just as long as they don't do a factory reset with the stock kernel. They can flash another (custom) kernel instead of the su package and the kernel will root the phone and you won't be affected. The brick bug will only "activate" if you factory reset with the stock kernel.

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

I don't think so, just flash another kernel to be sure.
[Galaxy S II General] Rila:
There must be 3 conditions to brick throught eMMC bug .

1) Must have a defective eMMC chip. (you could check this with Chainfire apk or with the app in the Play store)

2) Must have a kernel that do the wrong operation (apparently stock is dangerous :) Thank you Sammy!:banghead: )

3) Must have wrong CWM in recovery. (everybody work hard in XDA to remove CWM which contains bad commands or use a CWM whithout the command that lead to brick)

The third point is the reason I asked about this problem.

[Galaxy S II General] Rila:
I read the OP but there are no specification about CWM. I understand that CWM come from the official site but in there the only compatible CWM with SGS2 are 4.0.1.5 and 5.8.1.5 and I don't know if thease version are ok.

Thamk you for your replay.

PS: I already rooted my phone with this methode 2 months ago but I still want to know if ot is ok :)
[Galaxy S II General] Christiancs1969:
OK sorry. ;)

s2 rootbox
[Galaxy S II General] Rila:
No problem!

If the CWM is safe then we will know that nothing could hapen. :):p

If it isn't then we could propose to be changed with a safe one.

The ideea was that i don't want to flash a custom kernel but to keep stock and at the point I rooted my phone the CF kernel for my firmware version apeared to have a problem.

The solution proposed by Rachmat is brilliant and easy to use.

PS: after first reboot i have no longer the CWM recovery but stock 3e one and I am still rooted :D
[Galaxy S II General] shoey63:
Definately NOT safe for wiping!

I ran a strings check on it with the following results:-

knoppix@Microknoppix:~/Desktop/safety_check$ strings recovery |grep discard

warning: %s: Wipe via secure discard failed, used discard instead

This means it tries to do a secure erase when wiping. On stock ICS kernel with brickbug affected chip, a superbrick will result.

OK for flashing rooting file, but many people see "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and execute the function with disastrous results!

It has caused countless bricks and should be removed from OP.

You have been warned!
[Galaxy S II General] Jonny:
Links are now removed from the OP :)
[Galaxy S II General] Rila:

Unfortunately now I know that I have 2 of 3. :(

The root method has a good ideea! The CWM was wrong but you could allways use another temporary CWM which is safe.

You could atempt to use CWM from Philz thread and after that push Su and Busybox. Here
