[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
The methods specifically state, you should use your External SD.

Open "My files"

- What you see is your internal SD

- there is a folder called "external SD", that is your external SD card.

-Copy the root files there (external SD) and follow the instructions

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Copy the zip files to the root of your external SD, make sure it's not in any folder, it has to be in .zip too

Then select external SD in recovery

If I may ask, do you have any intention of flashing any custom ROM after rooting?

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sazar123:
im back sorry for the late reply was busy with schooling.btw i tried to flash siyah but i got stuck at the yellow triangle.it wipe my whole kernel so i have to flash ics 4.0.3 again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Ok. No problem.

Why do you want ROOT?

Is it just to enjoy benefit of rooting like, or you want flash custom ROMs?

I know you will need root to reset binary counter, but i just want to know other reasons too.

This will determine the rooting option, we are going to use.

For now, don't flash Siyah kernel again.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Undivided:
I'm using a Verizon SIII rooted with the bootloader unlocked. This problem just showed up today. I put the phone on the charger at 13% then, more than 2 hours later still on the charger my phone drops to 8%. I want to restore to from a Nandroid but I'm afraid the phone will die out before it can finish. What should I do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Sounds like either your phone was not charging at all, your battery has gone completely bad, or your phone is not reporting the battery stats correctly. Try a different outlet? Use an external charger? Different cable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nopi45:
What all have you tried? I.E. changing wall plugs, doing a battery pull that kind of stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Undivided:
I got this phone quite recently. I hope the battery isn't bad. But the battery is charging, or at least the phone thinks it is because my red LED is on indicating the phone is charging. It may be data related as I turned airplane mode and power saving on and its now charging. I'll be able to restore to a Nandroid soon and hopefully whatever is causing my problem will go away. Anyway have any other idea what could have happened?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Well it really depends what your charging it with. If its not getting enough power from a certain outlet or power source then it might burn juice faster than its taking in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Undivided:
I used the same outlet I always have. I'll try another one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Undivided:
I took this for you guys if it helps. Normally my screen is what takes the most of my battery. Now however, its the android system. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fr8cture:
I got my GS3 Tuesday and i had to replace mine Friday because it was dead and wouldn't take a charge so it might be your battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mysterysauce:
Why don't you shut the phone off and then charge it. Then restore your back up.
[HTC Rezound] dstu12:
I flashed the leaked global ruu with out s-off. When I try to unlock using htc unlock all it gives me is waiting for device and obviously i can down grade at this point. Does anyone have any ideas. Drivers are fine I have tried both ubunu and windows 7. both just say waiting for device but the device is recognized
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
Are you 100% sure drivers are fine?

Also, make sure you enabled USB debugging.

Also, you don't even need ADB to unlock the bootloader, just fastboot.

Reboot to to fastboot manually by:

1. Battery pull

2. Hold Vol Down+Power

3. Select fastboot

If fastboot can't recognize the device, then you either have a driver issue or broken USB port.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Most likely driver issue
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
Keep in mind that on ubuntu adb/fastboot dont work OOTB.

You need to whitelist your device in udev rules.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shark-:
To get a privileged shell you need to modify the following lines to the given values in the default.prop file

I have the extracted the recovery image of my phone model : So is it possible to modify the following values in the default.prop file, repack the image and flash it using fastboot(bootloader is unlocked) to get a privileged shell, and then copy the su binary after remounting system as read/write?

Do I need to change any other values in any of the files? And will it work, theoretically at least?

What are the chances of it messing up anything?

[I posted this on android.stackexchange but not much activity there]
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varun.chitre15:
No chances of bricking at all

Going further I would suggest you to tag in a shell script within init.rc so that it copies superuser apk and binary automatically as you boot :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shark-:
That's great :D

And is there any way to confirm that the recovery (downloaded) that I have is indeed from my device? Is the data within the prop files such as build and model no. etc enough?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shark-:
It didn't work. Either it wasn't the stock recovery in the first place, or the process isn't that easy. This can be closed now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HEXcube:
Modify boot.img

I think it is only the boot.img which is to be flashed. You don't need to flash recovery as whole.

If you have root access, you could manually edit default.prop. But, the modifications exist only till reboot. Once you reboot, boot.img will reload all the necessary system files to original. So, edit boot.img.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcfunk:
default.prop is on ramdisk or initrd which is part of the boot.img.

I use abootimg to edit boot, some use mkbootimg. Google editing initrd will give you info you need
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btiu:
Sorry to call on such an old post, but wouldnt this mean that on each boot (if modified on boot.img. On each fireup of recovery if on recovery.img) the superuser apk and binaries are reinstalled? Because this /is/ init.rc we're referring to. Please correct me if I am wrong, and also tell me if this is the best way to go about it :) I'm trying to come up with a way to root my device without using dirtycow haha

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArcticWolf91:
I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus I bought used (so no warranty), and somehow the USB port got pushed in. This makes it hard to charge since the cables don't really make contact anymore. I can still charge it but I have to plug the cable in like 6 times until it finally makes contact to charge. So my question is, what can I do? Since its used I don't think it has any kind of warranty so I guess that's out of the question. If I opened up the phone to expose the motherboard, could I re-position the USB port to its correct position? What would you do if you were in my situation?

I would just get a spare battery and external charger and swap the batteries every morning. Im not too much of a soldering kind of guy so if you are, then best of luck opening it up and seeing what the problem is. You can also take it to a local repair shop or mail it into an online repair store and dont think the cost will be more than 40-50 dollars. But good luck and hope it doesnt get anymore damaged.

it just doesnt charge it connect. even with many different chargers.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
Have your tried flashing any custom ROMS on it? If I recall, I could be totally wrong, when I put my custom recovery on the phone, it had to be rooted.

Download root checker from the market. That should tell you if you are definitely rooted or not.

If you are you can put your micro sd card in the computer with an adapter, put the custom ROM on that way, put the sd card back in the phone and flash the ROM like that. Post back when you tried root checker.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegogetter-:
ive tried root checker it says no. it connects via fastboot. i used fastboot to unlock and i fastbooted a recovery. but for the rooting process, it requires the phone to connect via usb and since the charge port/usb doesnt work idk what to do.

I'm switching ROMs and want to do a factory reset to be safe however my recovery doesn't read the external SD card. If I factory reset, could I get back into android to transfer my file over? I know you can probably adb while at recovery and do it that way but adb always gives me headaches.

EDIT: I was thinking it wipes user data on the internal SD. But I'm pretty sure it doesn't right?

EDIT2: Found the answer. Factory reset via CWM doesn't wipe user data but factory reset via settings does.
[Samsung Focus S] TaylorofCanada:
Hey, everyone.

I just bought an ATT Samsung Focus S i937 off of eBay. It was locked when I received it, so I plunked down 25 bucks and unlocked it. I'm using it on Telus and so far all is well, except for WiFi connection sharing/tethering.

When I try to enable internet sharing, I get a message saying "Connection not shared. To enable tethering on this device go to (ATT's website) or dial 611."

Basically, it sounds like I need to have an ATT tethering plan to enable this on my phone, but since I'm not an ATT customer, there's not mch I can do.

I was wondering if there is a workaround for this. Please let me know!

Thanks,

Taylor
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
firstly DO NOT INSTALL THE SAMSUNG UPDATE!! and if updating the OSan have it unlocked already read This Website and use the relock prevent + edit your hosts file

Absolutely back up your device at every stage using This Guide

So follow these steps

unlock the device Here follow the instructions which includes installing the diagnostic tool and install XAP deployer or XAP handler Here or Here With the XAP file deployer in the WP7 SDK

Then install WP7 Root Tools Here

Then install WP Bazaar market Here

Open Root Tools, and give Bazaar higher level privileges

Find WinTT on the Bazaar market and install it

Open Root Tools, and give WinTT higher level privileges

you may need to restart to get WinTT working

go through WinTT and turn on ICS

Done
[Samsung Focus S] TaylorofCanada:
Wow thanks.

That's very complete. One questions though... I didn't mention this, but I am a registered WP7 dev and can unlock this device using my dev access. Can I load any of the XAPs directly instead of having to crack my phone?

Thanks,

Taylor
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
Yeah, you have limited access to installing xaps, but you will still need to interop unlock and use root tools to give higher level access to WinTT, so your best starting from scratch,
