As far as I know, there is no way to root without using a computer connected via USB.

If the USB port is faulty, and you on stock, which it sounds like you are, get Samsung to repair it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
Has anyone tried to create an update.zip able to be used via the stock 3e recovery??

I don't know if it's possible to root this way but if it is it would be very handy.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palingboerJoop:
Thanks for all the quick replies!

Yes, I have. Multiple times. Also uninstalled and reinstalled them often through the KIES repair option

Yes, I have. In all possible sequence possibilities (first phone, then start ODIN, other way around, from without battery, etc.). No any connection however to ODIN.

Even tried that, I always get a "signature error"

Guess my USB is dead then and no options to upgrade my firmware exist? :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If your phone is playing up/USB appears cactus and you're still running stock firmware/haven't rooted it/messed around with it in any way, why tempt fate ? Return it for warranty service/replacement, and when you get it back & know everything's working, then you can flash whatever rom/kernel you want or root the phone.

Last thing you want to do is root it or flash non-stock firmware & then have the phone die on you & be unable to go back to stock. Goodbye warranty.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ITRC:
You mean ODIN does not recognize your device? If so, make sure KIES is not running at the back. Did you updated KIES? Maybe you can go to previous version...

SGS II - XDA
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Maybe this can help - certainly looks like the real deal.

Seems to work for the ICS ROM mentioned in the thread, you should be able to download all required files via the phone, you have root, and then flash whichever ROM you like.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palingboerJoop:
Thanks all for the comments!

I flashed it with this non-stock firmware. I don't have any warrenty, since I'll just have to pay for the repairs. Probably, they'll use a "water damage" argument for my faulty usb-port, as I read in many other forums.

Indeed, ODIN does not recognize my device. I killed all of the KIES application(s) with task manager. I indeed updated KIES, but also tried previous versions.

Thanks, I'll take a look at it!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ITRC:
I mean KIES from your desktop/portable... not the mobile version.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palingboerJoop:
Yes, I know. I did that. But thanks anyway
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palingboerJoop:
This would really be the best solution! Unfortunately, this is only for ICS.. If one of you see an option like this for GB, please let me know!!

Root S2 I9100GDDKL1 (India)

Hi,

I would like to root my S2 to install Titanium Backup and setCPU to have better control over my phone (remove bloatware, control battery and performance and such). Not looking to install a custom ROM at the moment.

My handset specs are:

Baseband version: I9100GDDKL1

Running: Android version 2.3.6

Build number: Gingerbread.XWLA1

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 root@DELL128#2

I have been searching for an insecure and original PDA that matches the above to flash my device but have not been successful so far.

I initially started off attempting to Root using DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su but was unsuccessful as my PC was not recognizing my phone.

I hope someone can help. BTW I am a Noob.

Just make sure you only flash items for the I9100G and not the I9100 international version.

Have fun.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Odraci:
Thanks a bunch

Thanks yall,

The root worked like a charm. I was able to install all the root tools that I required and good to go now.

I used Odin ver 1.85 and flashed superatmos v.3.0 kernel. I then rooted the device using superoneclick (I could not get the S2 Root to work for some reason - It kept saying that the device was not connected)

Next steps:

Plannning to flash the original kernel back to remove the warning sign on startup - Any advice?

I am sold on the merits of rooting. The flexibility is amazing.

P.S. Could someone help me with re-flashing the original kernel? I tried searching for it over the net but could not locate anything similar.

And you can also get a galaxy note (opened box) for around $630 in the mobilecityonline.com

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justen7723:
I would say ditch 1.2 its old there is no further development for it as of right now. You should at least b running gingerbread (hell a lot of us are on ice cream sandwich now, which also has BLUE in the rom) and if you want blue in a gingerbread touchwiz rom just pick a blue theme to put on top of whatever rom u pick I'm sure there is a few blue themes. Getting off froyo has other benefits as well like no ciq at all and other bug fixes, I'm assuming your modem is also ec05 which is also old and u should probably b on ei22 or el30.

Jesus christ, i get it already, I need to update the rom. Apparently you guys don't get it. All seven of your responses are identical, nothing like beating a dead horse.

i get it already apparently you don't

I need to update the rom. then why haven't you?

Apparently you guys don't get it. apparently you don't, we told you what you needed to do, what was it, 7 times?

All seven of your responses are identical, nothing like beating a dead horse. and all of them correct, yet you still want to run an out dated ROM that has NO support. Nobody is going to flash back to Froyo to diagnose and fix a problem for someone demanding it like we owe you something

I have an Evo and find flashing between roms much easier and the guys on the Q and A sections of those boards are actually helpful. and? 7 people promptly answered your question correctly on how to permanently fix your problem. If your evo buddies are so helpful (they're not http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1393443 ) ask them to fix your download issue for you for free. So you know how to flash a ROM easily on your evo, apply your expertise to the epic.

So, one last time, can anyone address the issue or not?

yeah I have the solution. It's not my fault if anything happens because of you not reading these instructions before you even touch your epic. Go find a qbking video.

Now shall we begin?

Download Odin, get any .tar from anywhere in XDA and place the .tar in the PDA section. Select repartition and reset f.time or whatever, and uncheck auto reboot.

Now plug your epic into the computer while the epic is in download mode.

Now click start in Odin and when the green progress bar gets half way, unplug the epic and bingo, you have a brick. Have a nice night.

Nothing to see here folks keep it moving.

Try booting a stock rom and going to settings>about phone> update prl, and your profile. 3g should work aftrwords.

Seriously though update the rom as well as clockworkmod its not hard, we even have an official update to gingerbread from sprint so cut us some slack if were telling you to update when people who aren't rooted are light years ahead of you.

I think the real lesson here is -don't root or flash the wife's phone.

Chances are that she really doesn't give a **** about all this "cool" android stuff, and when something does go wrong she's not going to try to fix it herself, rather she will just blame you for screwing it up in the first place and then send you on a quest to fix it.

Why isn't she the one in here asking how to fix her problem?

My suggestion to fix "your" msg problem: I would just Odin her phone back to stock, let her epic take the ota updates, and then never touch the thing again.

Maybe I left out one key line. I have no interest in flashing another rom. If there is not a known fix for this, I will just move on and leave it as is. The entire process of flashing, odin, etc. beyond just simple zip flashes in CWM is more than I am willing to figure out right now and more complicated than the Evo recovery process. Plus in my brief experience, seems less reliable and consistent (only certain cords work, with certain phones on certain computers, etc. I don't want to take the time to learn more about it and fiddle with it because it's my wife's phone and I never have more than an hour or so to work on it. Thanks to those who responded with ideas that didn't involve flashing a new rom, I appreciate it. If anyone else has another work around for this, I would appreciate it.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legasus233:
This is very true. She doesn't care about most of the "cool" stuff, however, she was on the stock gingerbread release and said the camera was really slow and so I saw the video from qb king on flashing SRF 1.2 and gave it a whirl. Aside from this messaging issue (it also won't send mms), the rom is fast and smooth, plus the battery life is terrific.

Evodeck is easy. The root I used was just one step. Just update to cwm5 and install evo deck. You can't really screw it up flashing a rom.

Install fastboot drivers and make sure debugging and fastboot are on
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legasus233:
The Evo is infinitely easier. Go to http://www.revolutionary.io, follow the directions to a T and you will be good to go. I agree, Decks 1.3 stable (use either Savaged zen 2.2 w/sbc or tiamat 4.1 sbc kernel) is a kick ass, fast, battery saving rom. For a sense experience, I switch between both Fresh 4.33 and the new NoLimit rom (based on the latest 4.67 update from Sprint). It is super simple, no file systems to mess with and all the roms you find come with a kernel that is compatible from first flash.

[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Sprint has always from day one planned to stick with Clearwire for LTE on the 2.5GHz. the Lightsquared deal was just icing on the cake for Sprint really. It would of helped some but it wasn't an deal maker at all...

They are not leaving Clearwire anytime. Clear has too much Spectrum there to toss them away. Sprint is short on spectrum without Clearwire.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bear gri11z:
Wow I didnt know they would use Clearwire AND lightsqaured spectrum.... Now im sad that the FCC is closing the book on lightsqaured (so to speak)
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Yeah plan WAS to use Sprints 1900MHz for LTE at first start, and then add in 800MHz for LTE/CDMA1x advanced, and at same time have lightsquared's Spectrum for LTE, and also have Clearwire's on the 1.5GHz freq. when they get that rolled out.

The issue is that Sprint alone by themselves cant compete with the spectrum that Verizon/ATT have for their LTE rollouts, so Sprint is kinda forced to need to use Clearwire even more so, which isn't a bad thing really as Clearwire has a GIGANTIC chunk of spectrum. The only issue is the high freq causes problems right now with building penetration and such. Something that hopefully as technology advances over time we will be able to overcome some in phones.

That second link is a GREAT site btw. LOTS of info on Sprints network stuff there. way more detailed than anywhere else typically too.

LightSquared was more about income generation for Sprint than it was for a LTE network. Sprint was being paid $15 Billion dollars over the life of the contract to host LightSquared's LTE network. One of the perks in the deal was that LS had to reserve up to 50% of its capacity for Sprint, should Sprint desire to use it for extra capacity.

So now that it appears LS is going away, the effects on Sprint's LTE plans in the short term are zero. Sprint is still moving forward with deploying its own LTE network, and developing a new LTE network with Clearwire on top of their own. In the long term, it only effects Sprint once Clearwire's spectrum is all used up. Which at this point, appears to be more than 7 years out.

However, I am fairly certain that Sprint is very sad about losing the $15 Billion in revenues over the next 10 years. LS was going to be the saving grace to their balance sheet.

Nat 3 refers to Wireless with a bad connection.

I'd recommend getting Wireless tether and not using the sprint hotspot hack. I believe wireless tether is in the market, but if it's not you can easily find an APK.
