recovery mode

hi guys, i please you to help me find a way to get my phone back, i tried to root it, but i think i have done something wrong. my phone is only in recovery mode.

i tried to do first step it was rooted, but restarts only in recovery mode. the second step couldn't be done because CWM.zip is intalled but it couldn't go sd.

now i'm trying to find 9100g firmware to get it back. sp please tell me what to do.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tba77:
Are you still able to go to download mode ? if so just go to http://www.sammobile.com register there and download firmware for I900G and flash it with Odin you'll restore your stock ROM. After that you can try to root your phone again, Be sure that your phone is a I9100G and not I9100 to not have a software brick

Try to reflash the kernel, or reflash a stock ICS and then flash the kernel again

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tba77:
It means that there is a problem with the flashed kernel, are you using gingerbread or ICS ? when you flashed LP7 Kernel ?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] GoZoU1:
Could you plz tell us your phone's specs and which ROM or kernel you tried to flash. I'm sorry if I missed this information in previous posts.

Hi.

If I use method 3 to root stock ICS, can I use that CWM to flash Cyanogenmod 9?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] toppits:
I assume u mean Advanced Method 2? Yes it is possible.

But you can even save time and just use Method 2 to get into CWM and flash CM9 there.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Kleyon:

I flashed with official I9100GXXLPQ ics firmware and then i get root access and everythings fine but one thing :( the wifi has a problem.Often I can't connect internet at the first time but i have to repeat the operation 2or3 times to succeed.What should i do?Is a problem of the firmware?do you think i have to put another firmware?thank you

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Mariacci:
Why do you all like to complicate everything ? Just flash the codeworkx's LP7 kernel and root it via SuperOneClick.:highfive:
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Jiangyi:
Are you certain that SuperOneClick works with ICS?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Mariacci:
Exactly.

1. Connect the phone to your computer (you don't need to go into a download mode, just make sure debugging mode is on).

2. Run SuperOneClick (as administrator - to avoid errors).

3. Click on the big ROOT button and wait until the process is completed.

4. If the rooting was successfully, you should see now the "Superuser" app in your programs list.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] toppits:
@Mariacci

Flashing codeworkx's LP7 kernel via Odin would increase the Counter. If i don't want that i need to go with Method 2, right?

Though it's good to know SuperOneClick works, i think the described Method (flash root.zip via CWM) isn't that much more complicated, isn't it?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Mariacci:
No, the flashing method is the same. I mean you can root that LP7 kernel via SuperOneClick. No, that will not increase the binary counter.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] :
which kernel you flashed

LP7 or ICS because i previously heard ICS kernel had WiFi issue

meanwhile i use ICS and WiFi works properly for me

and have you flash the latest kernel 5.5.0.4
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] quintosh:
After a whole-ton of problems and reading through 18 pages I couldn't solve my final issue.

After installing root.zip, it said the device is mounted, SU granted and stuff, yet Terminal Emulator tells me I do not have root access. No clue what I'm doing wrong.

Using LPQ/LP7 Kernel, I guess. Any help?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Jiangyi:
Is it only Terminal Emulator or other apps too?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] MrUsta:
I've used the basic steps in Method 2 and I have root (temp CWM).

Now I need to give the phone away unrooted. Can someone explain me how to remove the root? (I wish it was as simple as factory reset or uninstall Superuser app...).

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] yinhaoliew:
I have rooted my S2 using method 2. It's a success.

Today i got an update notification from play store that an update version of superuser app is available. Should i install it?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] spatjoe:
Go ahead & update it there is no harm.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] MrUsta:
Got it. Flash an official firmware with Odin.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] yinhaoliew:
Is it normal to have all zero serial number (show in setting -> about phone -> status) after root using method 2?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] liamidroj:
Method 2 loop

I'm trying method 2.

My ICS version is 4.0.4 KERNEL 3.0.8, base I9100GZCLPE.

No problem until STEP 4 but when I am in CWM it's looping once and another into menu and I can't select any of the options. Any clue?

Thanks in advange.

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] liamidroj:
I reply to myself, sorry for the inconveniences.

It was that I tried to use CWM with vol+, vol- etc. When I noticed that I can work on it using the screen it worked perfectly.

Good job, thank you for the post! :good:
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] mina besali:
Sorry i am totaly new to custom roms.. i am currently on stock 4.0.3 build number IML7UK.JPLP6, kernel 3.0.8dpi dell 142#2, baseband I9100GXXLPR and i want to install CM 10...can u please tell me which cwm "ics or lp7" to flash to install CM 10

Can i use method 2 temporary cwm to install CM 10...since it is named temporary

Also do i have to flash the root.zip while using CWM..or just go directly flash CM10.

Thank u in advance.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tba77:
Be careful CM10 is still experimental, try the CM9 which is stable and a good ROM, you have to flash lp7 to have CMW this allows you to install CM9 or CM10 from SD card.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] mina besali:
So which method u recommend to flash lp7.!?

You are right i have to wait for a final release...but i wanted the long battery feature imbeded in the CM10 since i stay out doors for a long time.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tba77:
The last release of CM9 has already increased battery life, and even release improves that feature, you can backup your current ROM and try CM9 if you don't like it just restore your backup.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] mina besali:
It is said that lp7 have backup problem, if there a thread showing how to backup rom and install custom mods, sorry because i ask too many questions because i had my phone hard bricked last month and i am so cautious now

Is there a change that flashing CWM might cause a hard brick !?

Do i need to root my device inorder to flash it with CM 9 or just flash my device by CMW then CM9.

Also how to revert to original recovery!?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tba77:
I don't know, I'll try to backup my system and let you know I am still with Stock ICS but with LP7 Kernel and CWM, LP7 make you able to have root access and to flash CMW after that, there is a the first page shows how to do on I9100G I'll try to backup my system and let you know if there is backup problem or not.

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] basantk:
hello, i am new here.after reading thru all the pages, i just wanted to confirm few things.

1. If i just want root access (to try few apps) ,and no LP7/ICS kernel or CW9/CW10......then i should use method 2...right? And do i need to do data/cache wipe for this?

2. Later , if i want CW9/CW10 on my sgs2, do i need to flash LP7 kernel first OR i directly flash CW9 using method 2. (Use CW9.zip instead of root.zip)

Thanks .
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Jiangyi:
1. Yeah, you don't need to wipe.

2. Both works.

CWM with AOSP ROMs

First up ... Thank you for taking the time to build/document an easy and from the looks of it, safe method of rooting I9100G phones.

Sorry for the noob question and if it's been answered somewhere but I have read most of this thread and couldn't seem to see someone addressing it. Have completed step 2 and advanced step 2, with superuser access successfully.

Question : When going to the CWM link at the start of the thread, it has a note that says:

Quote:

CLOCKWORKMOD-RECOVERY FOR GALAXY S II (GT-I9100G)

This is a kernel including ClockworkMod Recovery for use on Samsung roms.

Don't use this kernel on aosp based roms like CyanogenMod!!!

How do I get to a point where I can install AOSP ROM's?

If I have posted in the wrong section, sorry ...

thanks for any assistance.

When ics rom come for pakistan official rom ?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] dante10:
if you have completed until advance step 2 it means that you already have clockworkmod recovery,CWM...if you want to install AOSP rom such as CM9, download the rom files + Gapps and flash it through CWM..factory reset is a must after flashing the AOSP rom for the first time..refer the AOSP rom thread for further installation steps
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] 3clectic:
Thanks Dante

Thanks Dante for the information. Was worried that it would brick the phone. Will be trying a few more ROM's to get the one that best fits needs. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tstee3:
Using ADVANCE method 2 have achieved root with permanent ClockworkMod Recovery AND no flash counter increase. Thanks a lot dude :)
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] yrakun:
Question.

When I root with advanced method 2 will i loose current counter or i must again flash with stock Gingerbread, Kernel and Bootloader(which erase counter) and update to ICS over crappy KIES in order to set counter on 0??

Sry for bad English
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] kirankm:
I don't think it will set your counter to 0. If you use the advanced method your counter will not increase further. You will need a usb jig to set your counter to 0.

Chainfire's traingle away app can be used to set the flash counter to 0. But right now it is not compatible with i9100g. He might work on it once he returns.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] vincent47me:
can i use super ics kernel instead of codeworkx kernel then flash the root.zip via cwm? thanks
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Jiangyi:
Yeah you can, as long as it has CWM.

Sent from my GT-I9100G using the XDA-Developers app
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] sambosat:
Hi guys. Thanks for the excellent tutorials. I have a question before I brik my phone. I have updated my I9100G to ICS and now I see the base band is I9100G XXLPR. would those methods work or I will brik my phone. Your advice is very much appreciated

Edit.

I have taken my chance after reading that someone with the same base band was successful. I'm doing method 2 so after that I can apply method 2 advanced but I got stuck between step 4 and 5.

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.

The thing is when I select install zip from sdcard it does nothing but comes back to the 1st page where you have the options again

I'm not sure what am I doing wrong or how to fix it. I want to root my phone please help
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Ryuinferno:
Nothing is wrong...there's another option below after you choose install zip from sdcard at the main menu...which is install from external/internal storage (sorry i forgotten, should be something like that)...try that option and see...:)
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] sambosat:
There is no such option. I select instal zip from sdcard (second option) but nothing happens
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] kirankm:
You have to select the fourth option, "select zip from internal sdcard ".
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Jiangyi:
Is there anything near the bottom of the screen as to indicating what's wrong? I'd suggest you try selecting by touching the options if you used the volume keys to select them before and vice versa and see if that helps.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] sambosat:
Thank you very much this worked fine

EDIT

I have a problem now and not sure if it is because of the root. The compass does not work anymore
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Ryuinferno:
Could you share how you checked for compass?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] sambosat:
I have a compass app that used to work with Gingerbread 2.3.6
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] sajipv:
For me also, the Compass was not working immediately after update. After doing calibration two times, now it is working fine.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] sambosat:
what calibration you are reffering to. even proximity sensor is not working. It seems a general problem is that correct?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] sajipv:
Calibrating by moving the phone in a "figure of 8" pattern, in horizontal position.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] sambosat:
it does not work
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Ryuinferno:
You must key in *#0*# in the dialer, select sensors and wave the phone with huge and strong movements in a shape of 8 until it does not show "calibration needed"...tried and it works...but be careful not to fling it away...:p...You can also test other sensors there...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] sambosat:
Hi guys. Now I have noticed Another problem. I'm not able to connect via samsung kies on my lap top. Is this happening because of the root access or what could the reason be.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Ryuinferno:
Personally I don't use kies as its very buggy...But my rooted phone still works with kies...maybe you will have to reinstall the drivers manually...google about it...or maybe kies does not accept the custom kernel you are using if you flashed one...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] sambosat:
I think it is the kernal. my problem is that the compass is not working and want to check if there is any official update from samsung

this is purely kernel related. as u are flashing custom kernel 4.0.3 into a rom 4.0.4.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] toppits:

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] toppits:
I think the following steps should do it:

1. extract the Stock-Rom archive that u flashed via Odin. Should be a *.tar.md5 file.

2. find the file "zImage" and copy it to your sdcard (directly, no subfolder)

3. download the app "HC-kTool", start it and hit "Flash kernel from /sdcard/zImage"

It sounds good but there is no zImage file in the Stock-Rom *.tar.md5 file.

ADT
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] toppits:
I just download the file to make sure. I only got the XXLPQ and there is an zImage, I'm pretty sure there's one in XXLPVY too.

Did you open the '.tar.md5 file with 7zip?

Actually there's no Kernel for Stock 4.0.4, so you have to wait till some1 makes one, or you flash a Custom Rom, therefor you can already find Kernel.

Edit:

Then i can stop the download :) No Problem, have fun :)
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] AmDuongTu:
Thanks so much.

Exactly I used WinRAR to open & extract.

And here it is.

Many Thanks.

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Ryuinferno:
Actually to flash the stock kernel, you don't need to use hc ktool cause it's not stable...you can just extract the zImage and make it into a .tar file with 7zip and flash it via ODIN by selecting the .tar you made in PDA...the binary counter won't increase and no yellow triangle at boot...;)
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] AmDuongTu:

Hello guys,

I'm on 4.0.4 stock (LPV). I rooted my phone with method 2, so I didn't make advanced methode 2 and I've got temporary CWM. Can I flash CM9 without problem ?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Jiangyi:
Yes, you can flash CM9 through the temporary CWM. Just follow method 2, and swap out root.zip with the CM9 file.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] abba94220:
Okay thank you, I'll do it tomorrow :)

What about if I want to flash stock firmware ? I do it with Odin, but will the flash counter increase ?

Or can I do it through Kies ? If yes, how to ?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] toppits:
You can flash any stock firmware with Odin. The counter increases only if you flash custom firmware/kernel via Odin.
