root lost

Hi guys, could anyone shed some light on my previous post about loosing root after flashing this rom? I don't know what happened...

Also, I'm getting error trying to flash the latest root package (Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip) from androidsu.

I have Superuser and busybox apps installed but neither can get root access.

Without root I cant switch to tabletUI, and I'm not able to fix the framework issue.

That's frustrating! :(

EDIT: Nevermind, got it working with a specific Superuser version.

Qual a mensagem de erro que aparece ai para vc e em qual momento aparece?

what error appears for you?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rafaelbrandao:
When I tried to install Superuser zip from sdcard it was something like: "Error in su.zip".

But as I said, a specific Superuser version from androidsu fixed my problem. The actual problem with this ROM was somehow loosing root after flashing it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rafaelbrandao:
Thanks ATRIXXIRTA, that fixed battery drain...

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Jiangyi:
This is a compilation thread of the various root methods for the new ICS firmware on the I9100G. Special thanks to Codeworkx for his LP7 kernel, happysmith on the Chinese Gfan forum, and various other users in the Facebook I9100G group.

Method 1:

Advantages: Easy to do, permanent ClockworkMod recovery achieved.

Disadvantages: Increases flash counter. (No yellow triangle though.) Not 100% compatible with Stock 4.0.4 ROMs! You'll be able to root and use the system, but Bluetooth will stop functioning!

Prerequisites: Codeworkx's LP7 or ICS Kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631934

root.zip here: http://www.mediafire.com/?w3zzodjc1b8kqdh

Step 1:

Download Codeworkx's LP7/ICS kernel and flash it using Odin.

Step 2:

Put root.zip on either the internal or external SD card.

Step 3:

Boot into ClockworkMod recovery by pressing Home Button + Volume Up key + Power key while your phone is turned off.

Step 4:

Select install zip from sdcard.

Step 5:

Select choose zip from sdcard/internal sdcard, depending on where you put root.zip.

Step 6:

Flash root.zip and reboot.

Congratulations, you should now have root access.

Method 2:

Advantages: No flash counter increase or yellow triangle.

Disadvantages: Temporary ClockworkMod Recovery.

You must have an External SD Card!

Prerequisites: The CWM.zip and root.zip from this file: http://d-h.st/R8y

Step 1:

Put the CWM.zip onto your EXTERNAL SD Card and root.zip on external OR internal SD.

Step 2:

Get into the stock recovery mode by pressing Home Button + Volume Up key + Power key while your phone is turned off.

Step 3:

From there, select apply update from external storage, and select the CWM.zip.

Step 4:

You should now be taken to CWM Touch Recovery, where you should select install zip from sdcard.

Step 5:

Select choose zip from sdcard/internal sdcard, depending on where you put root.zip. (Your internal and external sdcard might have their locations switched with the other, so double-check!)

Step 6:

Flash root.zip and reboot.

Congratulations, you should now have root access without binary increase or a yellow triangle.

ADVANCED Method 2:

Advantages: No flash counter increase or yellow triangle. Permanent ClockworkMod Recovery.

Disadvantages: More difficult than the other methods, but this will give you the best result once achieved. Not 100% compatible with Stock 4.0.4 ROMs! You'll be able to root and use the system, but Bluetooth will stop Functioning!

Prerequisites: Properly executed all steps from Method 2 and obtained root.

Codeworkx's LP7 or ICS Kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631934

Step 1: Download and install ktool from Google play.

Step 2: Extract the contents of Codeworkx's LP7 or ICS kernel.

Step 3: Find the file "zimage" and copy it onto your phone's storage.

Step 4: Use ktool to flash the "zimage" file. Reboot.

Congratulations, you now have achieved root with permanent ClockworkMod Recovery AND no flash counter increase.

I hope this helps all those who wants Root access on their newly-upgraded ICS system. Enjoy!

My recovery does not recognize my sd card. What can I do?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Jiangyi:
Are you using the first or the second method?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Cryten:
Method 2 worked for me!
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tba77:
Thanks a lot I'll try it right now ^^

A question, LP7 work or do I must take the experimental ICS version ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] dvpereira:
the second method...but still does'nt work...

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 PM ----------

the first method will surely put the triangle counter?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Jiangyi:
Which part are you stuck at? The stock recovery or CWM? You MUST use an external SD card to use the Stock recovery.

Unsure about Triangle, but definitely flash counter I think.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tba77:
Would you please tell me which link to use for the custom kernel ?

LP7 - 5.5.0.4: Download (hacked LP7 kernel)

ICS - 5.5.0.4: Download (EXPERIMENTAL, built from sources, breaks wifi)

ICS breaks wifi does LP7 works on ICS ?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] dvpereira:
I'm stuck before applying the CWM. When I enter the recovery and select the option to apply, it does not recognize my sdcard ...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] calvenyow:
thanks, tested working.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tribalfusionaxe:
if flash counter increase, can i reset it back using usb jig?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Jiangyi:
The ICS Kernel is built from Galaxy Tab 2 sources, which is not fully compatible. Use the LP7 one.

No one knows if the USB Jig works with the new bootloader. Most likely not.

That's incredibly strange. Only thing I can suggest is try another SD Card, or format it in FAT32 and try again.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Metallico:
It will work on European version or only Chinese version?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Jiangyi:
All versions. :)

Edit :I got my answer thanks ;)
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] rascal123:
sorry for the noob question...neway what do u mean by temporary cwm in the second method...?? is it going to gone?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Jiangyi:
It means that you will be back to the stock recovery the next time you try to get in, and you'll have to flash CWM.zip everytime you need CWM. But you will have root.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tba77:
I flashed LP7 - 5.5.0.4 I can access to clockworkmod but when I try to install zip file it said unable to mount /sdcard but strangely I didn't have the used yellow triangle.

EDIT : I am sorry I was stupid, I choose the wrong card, I had to choose external, but even after flashing LP7 I hadn't the yellow triangle, now I have root access, I can access to CMW 5.0.4 when rebooting my phone holding home+volume up+power. So I think that it worked :)

Thank you very much
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] syamsoul:
Thanks JiangYi

Just got my root access for the first ICS for GTi9100G = XXLPQ using method 2.

Copy two files to external card.

Flash CWM.zip

Flash root.zip
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tba77:
I did it with the first method, but I didn't got the yellow triangle now I'm wondring if installing CMW from google play would permit to have choice when rebooting phone to go to recovery, reboot or go to download.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Jiangyi:
The LP7 kernel from Codeworkx is the same thing as the stock kernel except with CWM added in, so most likely you won't notice a difference if you flash back. My suggestion to you is to wipe data/factory reset, that seems to fix most of the problems.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] johnconnor92:
I need a green light before I root

My phone has the following specs:

Baseband Version: I9100GDXLP6

CSC: I9100GOLBLP6

Kernel Version: 3.0.8 dpi@DELL150 #2 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 23 19:18:19 KST 2012

Build Number: IML74K.DXLP6

No external microSD. My internal storage, however, I called "sdcard" (weird indeed).

My current dilemma:

1. Which version of Odin should I exactly use? 1.83? 1.85? or 3.x?

2. Should I backup my phone before rooting? If yes, should I use NAndroid? Or something else?

3. I have had my S2 driver manually installed by plugging in my phone BEFORE I had Kies installed in my laptop. However, the Kies I installed doesn't work - it can't connect to my phone. I'm afraid that it might mean something went wrong with the drivers installed. Is it?

4. My "baseband version" is I9100GDXLP6 but the people in XDA says to "flash" the LP7 kernel. Does this mean that my phone is of an older version? Should I be looking for an LP6 instead? Is it okay if I just proceed?

5. Is the "yellow triangle" only present on startup? Will it have any effect on the phone during usage?

6. What other questions should I ask myself?

Really appreciate your help here. Thank you!
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] dante10:
1- you can use any version of odin you mention.

2- you cannot use nandroid if you dont have CWM ..not really needed in my opinion because root doesnt do any wipe to your system...it will remain unchanged except you will get superuser app in app drawer

3-you need to have driver installed and properly working if you want to use odin

4-I9100GDXLP6 means your firmware is from malaysia and it is pretty much the same as others ..its not outdated..LP7 kernel is modified kernel from CHina based firmware..i suggest you use the 2nd method which is safer and easier in my opinion and no yellow triangle/binary counter increase as well

5- yellow triangle means you have flash non official firmware/kernel..yes its only present at startup and doesnt do other harm to usability of the phone..you need to know that yellow triangle also means your binary counter has increased...you need to clear that counter if you want to claim warranty using methods available from this forum...flashing stock ROM to unroot your phone doesnt clear those binary..thats why i suggest you to use the 2nd method follow by the advance method if you want to have permanent CWM

6- i dunno..haha

HAPPY ROOTING...:)
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Nazz Mid:
Need Help With Advance Method 2.

i already root my hp using method 2. but i have problems. i already do the 2nd advance method but nothing happen.

the KTOOL already say " Kernal have been written. please reboot ur phone."

but still the kernal still show

Kernel Version: 3.0.8 se.infra@SEP-77 #2 SMP PREEMPT Sat May 5 14:32:09 KST 2012
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] dante10:
if you want to use ktool to flash kernel make sure the zImage is in the root of internal sd ..not in any folder
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tba77:
the kernel version won't change juste check if you have CWM 5.0.2 and if you can install the root access application, if so, it means that you have LP7 Kernel, for example, I flashed LP7 with first method and my kernel version is se.infra@SEP-77#2
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Nazz Mid:
i already put it on internal root sd, sd card, external sd card still same 0_0

owh so it will still the same :confused:

owh. btw that weird. 0_0 thanks for make it clear man.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] johnconnor92:
Well the file transfers work fine, and I can access the usb mode using my phone without any problems. Does that mean I have all the proper driver installed?

How different is the LP7 kernel from the LP6?

Thank you so much!
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Jiangyi:
According to Codeworkx, it's the same thing across all versions of stock ICS.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] DeoXCodeX:
Been using ktool since gingerbread, love the second method :P
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] PeterFdeVries:
Can somebody help me please. I used method 1 exactly as written but i DO get the yellow triangle. Now my doesn't boot anymore. At the end of the flashing ODIN says the flashingprocedure has been completed correctly.

Instructions

Power your device off

Boot into Download-Mode using Volume Down + Home + Power

Hit Volume Up to accept the warning

Start Odin

Choose "GT-I9100G_XX_ClockworkMod-Recovery_X.X.X.X.tar" as PDA (no repartition)

Connect your Phone

Start flashing

After reboot you can easily root your device using SuperOneClick My device doesn't boot so I can't use Superoneclick...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Jiangyi:
Are you able to get into recovery mode? (Home + Volume Up + Power) If not, then I'd suggest flashing a stock ROM again and start over. You may also want to redownload the CWM kernel because you might have a corrupted one. Did you download LP7 or ICS?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] PeterFdeVries:
I've tried both kernels (LP7 and the ICS) from this topic (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631934) but neither of them work. The only screen I get is the one I added.

I can't get to recoverymode, when I try the combination you suggested I get in the same screen.

Using Odin the phone is recognized and the kernels from thelink above are installed, but after that I get nothing else than the added photo. I also tried to install a stock ROM using Odin... Don't know what to do anymore :crying:

Be carful you have a GT-I9100 and not GT-I9100G the roms available on these threads are for G version, just reflash a I9100 Kernel and your phone will work again, for stock ROM make sur you take an I9100 ROM and not G one or you'll brick your phone

EDIT : Argh, you installed a G ROM on a non G phone version, I hope you didn't brick you phone, do you have a picture of a PC a yellow triangle and an phone ? does Odin recognize your phone when you plug your usb and connect to you PC ?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] PeterFdeVries:
Damnit!!! Now I see it!! But yes, odin still recognizes my phone. Will search for a ROM or kernel that support the GT-I9100 exynos! Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tba77:
I9100 is the international version of the it's better than the I9100G one it have a better processor, anyway, you can find a lot of kernel and a lot of ROM for this, just try to flash a stock ROM you can find it on www.sammobile.com and there is a topic related to bricked phones, do you still have the same screen you joined above or do you have another screnn now like this one

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tba77:
If you can return to the download mode, you'll be able to recover your phone easily so use Odin, go to download mod and flash a stock I9100 ROM corresponding to your country (or any other country it doesn't matter) when it succeed and you are able to run it again you can install CMW and root your phone for I9100 there a lot of good ICS and GB custom ROMs
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Jiangyi:
Yes, I do believe that Method 2 here also works on the I9100. If you to do Method 1 or the Advanced Method 2, you'll have to replace the kernel written here with a CWM kernel for the I9100.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tba77:
Yeah it would work, just don't mismatch kernel version and all will work fine

Just found this very helpful thread for rooting my ICS upgraded Galaxy S II I9100G ...

"Method 2:

Advantages: No flash counter increase or yellow triangle.

Disadvantages: Temporary ClockworkMod Recovery. You must have an External SD Card!

Prerequisites: The CWM.zip and root.zip from this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?yh2ii6mbozz9243

Step 1: Put the CWM.zip onto your EXTERNAL SD Card and root.zip on external OR internal SD.

Step 2: Get into the stock recovery mode by pressing Home Button + Volume Up key + Power key while your phone is turned off.

Step 3: From there, select apply update from external storage, and select the CWM.zip.

Step 4: You should now be taken to CWM Touch Recovery, where you should select install zip from sdcard.

Step 5: Select choose zip from sdcard/internal sdcard, depending on where you put root.zip. (Your internal and external sdcard might have their locations switched with the other, so double-check!)

Step 6: Flash root.zip and reboot.

Congratulations, you should now have root access without binary increase or a yellow triangle."

What does it mean when it says "Flash root.zip and reboot" ?? What is flashing ?? Sorry to ask such stupid questions but i am a complete nube for this "rooting procedure" !!

######################################################

I tried using the method 2 to root the device.

After entering the CWM Touch Recovery mode, I could see, reboot and Install from SD Card option, but that is not working for me.

It is getting struck at that screen, and Not able to proceed from there.

Can some one help me out, how to proceed???????

I tried Method 2 but i get stuck after step 3 !! When i select CWM.zip nothing happens !! After a flash the same page re-appears & after selecting CWM.zip & after nothing happened i just exit the process by long pressing power button & then rebooting my device !!

Any solution to this ??
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Kleyon:
Many thanks method 2 works great for me but maybe you can add we have to touch options on CWM and not to use Vol+/- buttons. Because that made bug my frist attempt, I tried selecting option with Vol+/- many times before understanding that touch screen was available. When you move using Vol+/- it seems to crash CWM and when I selected root.zip first time, my phone still unrooted when I restarted it. I done it another time without using Vol+/- on CWM and everything works fine.

Just one question please : how can I be sure that flash counter isn't increased ? Is my first missed attempt could have increase flash counter ?

Another question is : I think I'll use cyanogen when stable release will be here (soon it sems). So can I do Advanced Method 2 whenever I want by now then install cyanogen ? I mean in some days if needed. Or must I install complete CWM (including kernel) ?

Anyway thanks ! :)
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] toppits:
Just Boot into Download-Mode (Vol- + Home + Power) and u can see the counter. If the counter is zero it says "NO". Not sure about the text, sth like "Custom Binary Counter".

It's enough if u do Advanced Method 2 once, then u can flash whatever you want with CWM. No Counter increased but permanent CWM :)

If I understood the Advanced Method it's like flashing complete Kernel with CWM, though the ClockworkMod-Kernel by Codeworkx is the Stock-Kernel with CWM iirc.

Not 100% sure, but i think CM9 brings it's own CWM. So u can use either Method 2 or Advanced to flash CM9. Can some1 confirm this?

Edit:

I'm 100% sure u can get to CM9 if u do Method 2 and then Advanced. That's what I did :) I just think u can save the time for the Advanced Method and just flash CM9 from Method 2 :)
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Kleyon:
Thanks for your answer ! I'll check my flash counter to be sure :)

I'm waiting confirmation anyway concerning CM9 but thanks too !

EDIT : Flash counter says NO ! Great ! Thanks again.

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Jiangyi:
You can just follow the instructions in Method 2, but replace root.zip with the CM9 Nightly zip. It's how I got to CM9. ;-)
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Kleyon:
So that means using temporary CWM from method 2 once again to flash CM9 directly ! So no need to install a permanent CWM first ? That sound great ^^

So does it mean once again I will not have my flash counter increased when I will flash CM9 ? Because if I correctly understood the fact we use this temporary CWM is reason why counter isn't increased right ? :D

Edit : Thanks again Jiangyi and thanks Toppits too, I'm just looking for a stable CM9 now :)
