[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:
You forgot to mention my root methods! Lol I have S2 Root application and Full stock pre rooted odin flashable firmwares. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] The-Hulk:
I will add them both to the guide, the more the better. I will also add the pre rooted stock firmwares to my other guide, will the pre rooted firmware work with any root method used. Also i will add your EFS pro toolo to my other guide, with so many efs problems the tool to use the better.

[Galaxy S II General] sannik:
guys I bought an s2... there a so many roms for

this device.. so please help me decide which one

to flash...I also have a doubt

can I flash cm9 directly from gingerbread???

or

should I flash ICS and then flash cm9??

and

which is stable version of cm7??? And

cyanogenmod comes with a custom kernel or

we should flash it separately??
[Galaxy S II General] The-Hulk:
Their is no best rom, as each rom suites diffrent people in diffrent ways, i would recommend you start with CM7 and move on to CM9 as this is your first time flashing a rom. You can go from GB straight to CM9 if you wanted, just make sure you read this instructions on the thread, also Cyanogenmod comes with it's own custom kernel, but that can be changed if you wanted.
[Galaxy S II General] anubis1126:

[Galaxy S II General] The-Hulk:
Yes just use cf-root make sure you match up your kernel

Can someone please help? I am trying to root, and I don't know if I did it right but I have odin and am trying to get a firmware(kg2) and all the downloads I get just have a zimage file and when I put that into pda, nothing happens. Not sure what to do, i kinda had it all screwed up last night because I was trying to return to stock from resurrection remix 3.0.4. Any help is awesome thanks I will check this after work tonight
[Galaxy S II General] The-Hulk:
you need to unzip the file using software called 7zip, once you have downloaded this software, right click on the zimage and click extract here you will then get the content you need to flash zia odin. Look HERE for more help
[Galaxy S II General] joeym11:
I just installed 7-zip, and I tried to extract the zImage, but 7zip doesn't seem to want to see it and extract it. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Is there something I am missing? I downloaded one of the kg2 ones but nothing happens?

It seems either it's my 7zip because I don't see it anywhere, or the file itself doesn't have anything for you to take as an archive if you know what I mean
[Galaxy S II General] The-Hulk:
You should already be rooted if you are running Resurrection Remix 3.0.4 as your rom, and sorry about the post before i miss read what you had put, can you confirm that your are rooted or not for me, to check see if you have the app Superuser.
[Galaxy S II General] joeym11:
No that was my rom before and now I am unrooted stock and trying to root... sorry for misunderstanding
[Galaxy S II General] The-Hulk:
Ok so are you trying to use the CR-Root method, if so then when you download the correct file, it should download as a .zip file, if you are not sure which file to download then give me your kernel number and i will point you in the correct direction.
[Galaxy S II General] joeym11:
My kernel version says:

3.0.15-19100MUGLD3-CL377577

se.infra@SEP-74#3

I think though I am on kg2 or something
[Galaxy S II General] The-Hulk:
Can you confirm that you have the i9100 model and not the i9100g model please, you can do this by removing your battery and it shouod tell you which model you have. If you have the i9100g version then you can not use the guide in this thread, as it is only for i1900 versions.
[Galaxy S II General] rajasiman:
Hi,

have had this nagging question all day long. I have a Galaxy S II(GT-I9100) running GB 2.3.6. I had rooted this using a non CF-Root kernel, so did not have CWM that comes along with the CF-Root kernel. Now can i flash the CF-Root kernel on top of what i have right now? I already have SU and busybox(since the phone is already rooted). Or are there any steps to do before i flash the CF-Root kernel? I want to do a nandroid backup of the current ROM before i start flashing stuff. Just in case i'm not comfortable using the new ROM, i would have the option of coming back to my previous setup. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! :)
[Galaxy S II General] The-Hulk:
yes you are quite safe to flash CF-Root using odin.
[Galaxy S II General] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
No additional steps required before flashing cf root.

- download the corresponding cf root kernel. Zip file from chainfires thread

- extract the. Tar file from the. Zip that you have downloaded

- open odin, put the. Tar file inthe pda section and flash.. Do not touch any other option in odin..

- after phone boots up, turn off phone and restart phone using the 3 button combo into recovery.. U would enter cwm.. Do a nandroid backup from the backup option(backup to internal sd card)

- now go ahead and flash whatever new rom u want
[Galaxy S II General] rajasiman:
Thank you! A small question arising from the previous reply. Now that i already have root, when I flash a CF-Root kernel, what actually happens? The kernel gets replaced, yes. Apart from that? Kindly shed some light on it as i want to understand what actually happens. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II General] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
Lol apart from the change in kernel nothing happens.. Supersu would still be there.. I dunno if u have a yellow triangle on ur boot logo.. In case u do not have.. U will see one now... U can remove it using a jig or through ways described in chainfires thread,
[Galaxy S II General] rajasiman:
Yes i do have the Yellow triangle on the boot screen. It doesn't bother me anyway! :laugh: So the SU that comes along with this is not going to replace the one that already exists?

PS: Yes i know, i'm full of questions :cowboy:
[Galaxy S II General] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
No sir.. Ur su should be there... Now when chainfire released those gb kernels.. Supersu was not there... Dunno if the binaries get replaced.. In case they do.. When u upen the supersu app after flashing cf root u should get a prompt to update binaries to recent ones
[Galaxy S II General] rajasiman:
Okay! Will update the kernel tonight and post my observation here.. Thank you!

Noob in Rooting

Hi ,

I want to root my phone Indian Samsung Galaxy S II with a custom Rom.

Model Number : GT-I9100

Android version : 4.0.3

Baseband version I9100DDLPA

Kernel Version : 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7 blah blah

Build Number : IML74K.XWLP7

So basically my question is , if i follow the steps mentioned on the first page will i be able to root successfully? :)
[Galaxy S II General] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:


Yes, please download cf root xwlp7 kernel from chainfire's thread and flash using odin. Post that you can flash a custom rom of your choice from cwm. Good luck :)
[Galaxy S II General] vzuwOw:
Operation Successful

Hi ,

I have successfully rooted my phone.Took me like 10 mins to root the phone which includes downloading kernel and odin.

I'm right now figuring out how to remove the yellow triangle by going through Chainfire's thread.Task will be completed today :) [Edit 1:Task Completed 12.01 AM IST] :)

And for tomorrow i will be flashing a decent ROM which is fast and doesn;t drains battery fast.

Can you please advice me which Custom Rom should i go for as there is a lot of confusion going on in my mind regarding the same. :p [Edit 2:I'm considering CM JB Rom as a option]

Regards,

V
[Galaxy S II General] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
there is nothing much to figure out to remove the yellow triangle.

go to this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22462960&postcount=1, download the traingle away 1.95 apk, install it. open app and reset flash counter, thats it.

make sure that in settings-security, you enable the option "unknown sources" under device administration, else the app will not install. good luck

well as for the choice for rom, for a first time user, i would say safely use samsung roms, cm jb might sound fun but then its will take u some time to figure ur way out through stuff as it still is work in progress, so head to the android dev section and download wanam's roms, they are stock with bloatware removed and have the usual mods attached, also most themers make their mods based on his roms as base, so you should be good with that too. beyond this, its your choice
[Galaxy S II General] vzuwOw:
Point taken Sir ,

Will be flashing a samsung rom at first and as i become familiar with all the stuff here, will move on to other custom roms.

And i have removed the yellow triangle already by installing yellowaway.apk.Thanks to chainfire :D

EDIT : Flashed "[ROM][19 Sept][UHLPY][4.0.4][V12.6] WanamLite Stable Pure Stock Themed" successfully.

Thank You for supporting :)

Hi,

I developed my first app and have no device to test. Here is the description:

Fast Enough is a simple photo taking application. Aim is not only to minimize the delay while you take a picture, but capture the past. Application starts to capture photos as soon as it fires up, and when you press the shutter button takes the last picture and shows you all the pictures it take. Only "last 7 photo" is saved to keep the resource use low.

You may not miss the moment again ever :)
