Guys. Works like a charm on the new xwlp2 rom.

Enviado desde mi GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II General] tez1:
Just used this method on lp2 firmware.

How can I get the cwm app on the phone or is this method just to root?

I've previously used chainfires method.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] sunnylovesalman:
Unclear Till Now....

This method: Doesn't affect custom rom counter or triangle, but CWM is not permanent. (but once you flash a custom ROM that has a different kernel with CWM included then your rom counter will still be unaffected and whatever CWM is included in the custom ROM will become your new permanent recovery)

Once I flash a Custom ROM , does that Include a Kernel? I never knew that.

I think it contains CSC, PDA and Phone. So its the Stock Kernel that would exist irrespective of the ROM i have flashed.

(Not too sure though). Correct Me if I am wrong.

But I am about to Flash Stock LP7 ICS through ODIN now over my 2.3.6 to try this method.

I guess It would work for me to get into CWM then and flash any ROM ?

And if that would have chances to give me a raised Binary Counter , then I wont flash a custom ROM .

Please suggest someone who have dealt this .

Thanks in advance.

Hey,

one more thing, is it possible to lose IMEI with this option? Just asking because I don't have any backup of it and I would really like to know.
[Galaxy S II General] tomeks:
no, it is not touching /efs partition.

do the backup just after rooting!

Hello...:)

I tried doing this but without success. :(

After this --->

Choose and Wait Until CWM.zip CWM recovery appear.

(It crashes, and is always to restart).

And I can not take the step --->

Choose install zip from sdcard or external SD

Choose and Install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip

I have the ROM XWLP2 + CSC XXLPD.

Please help me if I'm doing something wrong.
[Galaxy S II General] tez1:
Does CWM even install and come up with the cwm menu?
[Galaxy S II General] stefan.pilsu:
Note that CWM Recovery v.5.8.1.5 is the "touch version" so you must TOUCH your choices instead of using hardware buttons for "in app navigation".
[Galaxy S II General] Sergeant Droid:
Ok thanks. What method do you prefer to backup /efs?
[Galaxy S II General] TheStigx:
So will i keep stock recovery after this or not :P?
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
Yes you'll keep your stock recovery...
[Galaxy S II General] TheStigx:
Awesome thanks :D

Last question: Can I then after doing this, flash a custom recovery?
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
that i cant tell. check the previous pages. i remember (not sure) you can.

although when i was in my previous android, installing CWM app, open it and you'll see an option to flash cwm. not sure if this feature exist on this unit..
[Galaxy S II General] TheStigx:
Oh yeah! I totally forgot that method :D Thanks again :D
[Galaxy S II General] MaFiBoSS:
OK...did not know that smallest detail "touch version"...thanks...:D

But it is not permanently installed? Version recovery is this?
[Galaxy S II General] nik_boom:
Hey can Any 1 explain in brief as to how this rooting is working in comparison to cf-root (exploit used)??
[Galaxy S II General] cga_ie:
Will this method work on official Galaxy s2 I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_XEO rom?

If it does, can you point me to the right latest download file?

I can't wait to root my Galaxy but I don't like the yellow triangle

[Galaxy S II General] Sergeant Droid:
Can someone tell me how do I backup my /efs folder on ICS? I need some help here because I don't know how to back it up on ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] lublin:
I can't see CWM in my app list? But I have Titanium Backup and Root Browser (I can see all the hidden folders, etc.) installed and they are listed in Superuser as being apps with super user permissions. :confused:

Do I need to redo the CWS bit then reboot without doing the second part or is it OK not to have CWS? Or can I DL an app of the store?
[Galaxy S II General] Rachmat3:
CWM is not an app and not permanent in your phone, so you will not see CWM in your app list.

If you already see Superuser app, that mean your phone already rooted.

Thanks for donation. :D
[Galaxy S II General] tomeks:
look for the ktool in the market. it will do it for you.

Sorry for Being Noob in android, but any reason why the recovery can't detect my external SD card? I have try reformat it in Fat32 format.

i can read the external sd card with no problem in android, but just in the recovery it say fail to mount sd card / file didn't exist.

on XWLP2 rom

Edit: Okay after erase external storage with android build in function.
[Galaxy S II General] TheStigx:
This went kinda wrong, before I even started lol.

Ehm, I've tried searching, but with no result.

I am on stock everything, And I have no idea on how to boot into recovery. I tried Volume down+power+home, and then volume up. But then I put me in download mode. How do I go into recovery?

Thanks

(total noob)
[Galaxy S II General] Rachmat3:
Press and hold volume up + home + power button.
[Galaxy S II General] TheStigx:
Thanks! It worked out great :D!
[Galaxy S II General] shaq1907:
I tried this way and it worked on Intratech's LP3. Thanks.

Superuser installed but there something wrong with app which you need root. They don't work (at least SystemApp Remover didn't uninstalled any app after this root).
[Galaxy S II General] Silverwolf2:
Thanks for your work.
[Galaxy S II General] tomeks:
intratech cooked rom is already rooted and if I'm not wrong he is using cf root with it, thats mean different superuser app from chainfire which is not compatible with this one.

[Galaxy S II General] Corwin9S:
hi. great method.

didn't function for me first shot on my just new XWLP4.

- downloaded recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2.zip from website

- putted the recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2.zip file in a folder named "1_RachMat3" in the external SD

- putted the SU-Busybox-Installer.zip in a folder named "2_RachMat3" in the sdcard folder

then everything was ok... phone rooted, yellow triangle not present.

just a simple FC with Titanium Backup, had to reinstall it. then ok.

Some other applications have to be reinstalled too, but it seems all ok now.

Thanks !

by the way... how to have the CWM application ?
[Galaxy S II General] treva23:
i have done this as well to no avail.

is it because i have no physical SD card?

Is it possbile to do this if i dont have an SD card.

When i go into root explorer it shows the folders are in a SD but not external.

please help.
[Galaxy S II General] iNeri:
External sd card is necessary if you want this to work:D

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cinnabarcorp:
I have the Official HP TouchPad Wireless Keyboard and I'm running cm9 0.6

Some keys on the Keyboard are non functional with ICS. For example

Brightness Control

Back and Forward Music

Notification Key

Card View Key (Could be used as home button)

Virtual Keyboard Toggle Key

and some others I cant think of

My point is, how can I make these keys functional to actually work

and

Is there any way someone could probably develop a driver that can be flashed via Clockwork Mod Recovery as a ZIP?

It would be a great help to us TouchPad Users running CM9 ICS :)
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Musik847:
BUMP!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ratix0:
I'm actually very curious about this as well, I own the HP touchpad keyboard too and I really like it, it works really well on WebOS but when it came to android, many of the buttons don't work and it would be really great if these buttons could be remapped in some form or another.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DashingGentleman:
Yeah, I would be interested in this too.

Some of the keys are easily fixable by editing /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl - such as the media back/forward buttons. There's a keytest app out there which will capture keystrokes and spit out the numerical codes. You can then edit these codes in together with the desired commands into the kl file.

Other keys (keyboard toggle, brightness toggle etc...), however, do not trigger numerical keycodes at all when pressed; they seem to be using some WebOS specific command, or the Android driver simply is not written to recognise these codes. It looks like the driver would need to be modified for those keys to work - but I am no expert.

I'll try and post an edited kl file with all the keys which are recognised working later.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Main Target:
I have no idea on Android inputs work, but in Linux/X server there was a command line command that allowed you to directly capture keystrokes/events from a keyboard. Does android use X?

Try using this app:

External Keyboard Helper

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...id.hwkeyboardhelperdemo&feature=search_result

You can use it to remap keys into android. Please report back if it works, as I want to buy a keyboard for my tablet, but dont want to deal with useless keys :)

I did find this review in the UK that mentions this app does help remap and get those uesless keys working:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B0058CZX70?pageNumber=2

Quote:

This high quality Bluetooth keyboard measures 28.5cm by 13cm and weighs about 360g, including the two AA batteries that are supplied with it: slightly longer than my tablet is wide, but still small and light enough to carry round.

It is solidly made, matt black metal rather than plastic, with a stylish curving shape firmly supported on rubber feet - no wobble even on slightly uneven surfaces. The slope is perfect for fast typing. The keys are low profile and short-travel, full size, responsive and quiet. No sign that any of them is likey to come loose. There is no numeric keypad, but there is a row of function keys at the top to control the tablet - search, brightness, volume, on/off etc. Battery life is claimed to be about six months as the keyboard powers down when not in use and comes back to life as soon as you press a key.

The keyboard paired with my Sony S and with my Galaxy (both Android devices) without fuss and worked immediately, although three or four key mappings needed adjusting to match the GB layout. For this the External Keyboard Helper app is highly recommended - you just press "autodetect keyboard" and everything comes right.

As other reviewers have mentioned, there is no on/off indicator. The light next to the on/off switch on the underside of the keyboard seems to show that the device is visible for pairing, rather than that it is on. Again, the External Keyboard Helper is useful here because it flashes up a discreet message when a keyboard is not detected. I only found the lack of a light a problem on one occasion - the second time I used it. The batteries supplied were flat, so nothing worked. Fortunately, before hurling it at the wall, I remembered the old principle "check the simplest explanation first".

The lack of a caps lock light I did not find a problem - this probably depends on your style of typing.

Excellent value for money.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
I think he is referring to ICS development because ICS is in the topic title.

Simply before Xboarder (a skyrocket dev) all devs had been waiting for Samsung release. I think Xboarder is going to release source soon and I imagine this will mean others will fix up alot of things and we will begin to see a bunch of ICS roms. CM9 appears to be held up until a samsung release which they can use to get everything working 100%. The reality is without xboarder nobody would be working on ICS because Samsung has a bunch of ICS updates coming soon and this device is somewhere in line for that set of release. Nobody wanted to work on something that is going to be released officially in a few months and I respect that. However, I have the utmost respect for xboarder doing something that he might get beat to by Samsung just because he wants to do it and learn. Thats why he is the only dev ive donated to, aside from the fact that he had had progress on the Amaze ICS port which showed he had a track record at ICS ports.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jomeister15:
Actually this is incorrect. I actually had my working version of ICS out about 5 minutes before xboarder made his source publicly available using the msm8660_surf device tree provided by qualcomm here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
I remember, but this was after he posted the video of the booted version of ICS and you guys flamed him for not releasing source. Then posted source and I think only topprospect bother to thank for releasing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jomeister15:
There about a dozen incorrect statements in this quote, but I'm honestly too tired of all this xboarder crap to even care. Just next time get your facts straight before claiming something that isn't true and taking away from all the hard work I've put into my build.

I agree.

You people who bicker and fight over the internet should just change your names to Apple and Samsung...suing eachother because of stupid things like they both have the same default brightness setting on their devices...

Instead of getting all bent out of shape over other people, be proud of your own damn work and contribute to the community rather than degrade it with your unbelievable jealousy and immaturity.

And if I understand correctly xboarder is 16..if you guys are any older than that you should be ashamed of yourselves. Its people like you that hamper and retard development and destroy innovation. He doesn't want any part of your nonsense and is developing elsewhere. and I hope he develops the only working ICS build and gets all the credit for it.

They did the same crap to xboarder in the g2x fourm and chased him out and he wound up moving over to the sensation. Stupid because he was the first to root the g2x with the GB update. His stock roms were the most stable of all the stock roms for a 16 year old kid he is really smart and alot of people here could lear a thing or two from him.

I myself cant contribute in the development the way I would like right now because I simply dont have the time to leard so I donate when I can and that is how I make my contributions.

By the way the g2x actually has a ICS rom working really good it is eaglesblood based off cm9. I am using it and it kicks ass I hear that Eaglesblood is coming to the sgs2 I cant wait he is another really good dev. We just gotta be patient.
