We've tried the stock kernel in Odin but nothing happens when you try to flash in Odin at least not for me.

It has to be zipped with md5checksums, to my understanding. Ive tried in linux (Ubuntu) And I can't get it to zip. Always says cowardly refused to make a directory. Ive not found an app/program for Windows that will zip it with md5checksums. And yes you are correct, zimage is the kernel. And yes properly zipping the file ahould allow it to be flashed with Odin and remove triangle.

[Galaxy S II General] Stricken66:
So zipped with md5 does it have to be the same md5 as it's zipped now or can it be different? Reason I ask is I think winRAR will zip with md5 in it.

7-zip will zip a tar with a md5 I don't know if it will work though. I haven't yet installed the update on my phone cause I been waiting to see how this pans out. However, the md5 is differnet than the original zImage md5. I don't know if that will effect anything or not. I am going to check around with some more verifiers and make sure it's ok. I'll be out of commission for a bit though bad weather coming through, and may lose power witch means no internet. Tune in later...same bat time same bat channel.

No more triangle!!!!

Alright, so i got some good news and some semi-bad. The good news is that i played around with the GB28 tar from samsung and managed to flash it, getting rid of the yellow triangle. I KEPT ROOT!! The bad news is that i no longer have a custom recovery, went back to the crappy stock "Android system recovery <3e>", and it also took away busybox. BUT if you have the Busybox Installer, it seems you can install the latest one and you'll be good to go. Ran su and busybox command in terminal emulator and they seem to work. If anyone knows a way to test them out more extensively let me know, just so i can make sure it's all actually fully there.

All I did to the GB28 tar was make a copy of the original and then deleted everything in the copy except the zimage using a program called Peazip, it was the only one that seemed to let me delete stuff out of the tar without extracting it. The md5sum was different but i managed to flash it. The only difference in the names of the stock gb28 and the copy is a "-1" before the .tar, i didn't want to make the filename shorter after i flashed it, since it worked, and end up changing the md5, they still confuse me.

Here's the file http://db.tt/lWR2KALV

Correction, it wasn't Peazip, it was 7-zip that let me delete files directly out of the tar. I downloaded 4 different rar,zip,tar,etc.. programs just to get this done. Haven't been to sleep yet.
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
Sweet!!! Odd though, md5 is a verification process that checks the md5 inside the file to the outside checksums to make sure it wasn't a corrupt file.You physically corrupted it and iy still worked. And im still learning about it also

[Galaxy S II General] michaelnm:
That's what i thought it was for, I got a bit of an understanding for it from my time with md5 mismatches on my HTC Desires backup and restores. But when you were talking about it earlier and how it wasn't working, it just got me confused. It seems to have worked for me.

Fine, after I run this

1. http://db.tt/EJNO8dWY not trying to step on toes, but it took me 400 forevers to upload. Its the stock JB

Then run this to root.

2. To get the SuperUser app root thing download the file in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/show...3#post34180283

The file is that CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip... Put it in your SD card

After you flash the GB27 in PDA in Odin. boot into recovery.. (hold volume up + power button) Should boot into Agats recovery.

Then simply install the zip file of CWM-SuperSU and should be golden after reboot.

Then run this.

Confuseddddd!!!

ok so I am new to xda im on various other forums and have used this one extensively in the past for my virgin mobile optimus v and my alltel showcase that I could never get working on cm10 or aokp jb m1 always had LOS issues... then came the issue of charge port going out on the showcase :bangingheadagainstwall: anyways onto the new issue at hand.. So (I bought an s2 thinking it would be as easy to do things on as the showcase.... boy was I wrong!! :eek:) I went to the store to get a case the other day and one of the people said there was an update available and I asked what it was and they said 4.1.2 and I was extremely happy to see Alltel following other carriers finally (also sick of buddies with s3 on Verizon shoving Google Now in my face).. so they asked if I wanted to have it flashed while I was in. I got it flashed and got it home tried to hook up to Xbox Live and notice FoxFi was not working... :crying: ISSUE... This is the only internet I HAD, now I have none for Live, Netflix and whatever else I use it for. Long story short I need a way to Root Jelly Bean or an Alltel:good: GB28 ROM/Kernel that supports WIFI hotspot without phoning home to check for tethering plan. ANY help would be appreciated. Im in Southern Illinois. :good: :good:
[Galaxy S II General] Stricken66:
Someone posted a guide earlier. Also find the stock kernel posted here, and flash that through Odin. That'll get you root and no triangle. The reason it's hard is cause no one develops for this version. However some of the US Cellular stuff will work. I'm on CM 9 that is for US Cellular.
[Galaxy S II General] jparnold09:
Ya seems like everyone that has one of these from alltel are just stupid little teen girls and boys that just want a cool phone to play games on or business people needing a phone to have email on and its just a mobile office.. not too many people take the time to learn how to do the things we do to ours.
[Galaxy S II General] Stricken66:
Most people don't care to do this stuff. Not that they don't have the know how it's they don't know about it or just don't want too.
[Galaxy S II General] jparnold09:
So I just need the stock kernel from agat? Gb28
[Galaxy S II General] Stricken66:
Yeah and that will clear the triangle, but follow the root process first. Always remember that rooting may brick if not followed correctly. I know we all know this, but to me that point can't be stressed enough.

Bad Odin

So i am triying to Odin the .tar file but Odin is not recognizing my GS2. I have used Odin to flash and gain root so I'm a little confused on why it is not recognizing it. When I put my phone in Odin mode it instantly says "downloading do not power down target" A little help???

So I've recently got my jellybean rooted and i'm a old fart with the first droid being the first phone i bought *my htc touch pro doesn't count* lol So this is my first phone since my droid and i rooted that phone and flashed it so much when it first came out.

Seeing how the following for alltel and others isn't that much i noticed that CM10 and CM9 has worked for alltel.

My question is if i go to there board and use that rom to flash on my phone do i have to change anything to get my messages and stuff to work? I'm kinda out of the ball game since 2009.

Alaska Communications S2/how to ?'s

Hi, I'm new to xda and rooting. I have a generic CDMA S2.

I just put CM9 on my touchpad which was a piece of cake, and I am a little worried about how to go about gaining root access and going to JB with my phone.

I have 2.3.6, FI24 build.

So I need to follow the OP's guide to gain root access, then I can use odin to flash the JB update from Samsung's site? Should I use the ones posted from dropbox?

Will I need to mess with my apn's?

Sorry if these have obvious answers, I just read this entire thread and have an idea of what I need to do. Just hoping for confirmation.
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
Not a problem. You can upgrade either way. Easy update tool/odin and dopbox tar. Then you root, the update gets flashed with odin so need for root flash JB.Also its stock firmware, no increase in flash counter. Also dont worry about much there may only be a few of us on here but we'll help ya as much as possible. I would suggest upgrade first then we'll root. :D
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
Upgrade/Root Guide

Ok I think this is needed now,seems a few more users are trickeling in.First step upgrade to JB

1:Make sure you have the drivers installed for your phone(see link below)

2:Using odin, Make sure "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" are the ONLY ones ticked.

3:Select PDA navigate to the location of the tar file.Make sure battery is fully charged.Do a battery pull(quickest way to completely power off) .

4:To get into download mode.Press volume down then press power and hold both.You will get a warning screen saying blah,blah...Just it volume up to proceed.

5:Now plug you phone into your pc using factory supplied usb cable.you should get a yellow/green ID:com. Hit start sit back and wait.......... bout 10min later your phone should reboot,discount while it boots up. Enjoy!!

Also before starting make sure IF you have KIES installed to close it down.Right click on task bar>task manager: KIES runs three processes. Right click on the processes and select End Processes Tree,for each one

Stock tar file>http://db.tt/EJNO8dWY

Or you can go here for the easy update toolhttp://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-R760IBAXAR?tabContent=content2

Now for root:

Go to this post>http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39339136&postcount=410

Get the GB27 Kernel and CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip.

You flash the GB27 kernel in the same matter as you just flashed the upgrade.

Then download and flash this through stock recovery. CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip from the third link,rename it update.zip,place it on your Extsdcard.

To get into recovery, power off phone make sure it is completly off.Press volume up then press and hold power at same time.Keep BOTH held your boot logo should flash twice then it should boot into Agat's recovery.

Select apply update zip from card.It'll ask for confrimation.Then you can get busybox from the market and install it.

Ok your pretty much done,if ya wanna get rid of the triangle git this and flash through odin like the last couple times.

Second, should I use the Samsung Upgrade Tool to get JB first? Sorry, still confused.

Also, the links for Droiddroidz kernel and Odin bring me to a minus.com page, but the downloads wont work for me. The FF24 kernel downloaded fine. Did I miss different links in the thread?
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
Which way you upgrade is entirely up to you. The easy update tool didn't work for me. Doesn't mean it wont for you.

Just search in XDA or Google for odin.

Also you don't use droidzdroidz kernel to root JB, that is a gingerbread based kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] mrgonzodad:

So I've got root! woot woot. Thank you for the moral support chicinwang! The upgrade tool worked fine for me, and I had a bit of a hard time picking out the right odin version. I wound up getting 1.85 from dev host. I only picked 1.85 because it had the most downloads.:p

[Galaxy S II General] mrgonzodad:
Little update:

I'm not really having the battery drain problems others have had, I turned on power savings mode right away.

Problems so far:

GPS not working

Some of my apps will not save. I don't remember who had this same issue. For me it is only paid apps. Unfortunately Tasker is one of them :(

I did a backup and tried to go back to stock JB, but my phone went into a boot loop. The install was successful (to a degree) because the yellow triangle was not there. So I flashed the GB27 repack and got another boot loop, this time WITH the triangle.

So I restored to the backup with the app issue and will probably play with this over the weekend to try and getall of my apps back.

I also have a question, has anyone updated their busybox to 1.21?
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
Interesting you said busybox, if you was having these issues with it installed. Uninstall it or revert back to an older version to see if it would help fix your issues. I've read somewhere of 1.2x causing problems, and reverted back to 1.8x and that fixed it. But in short nah I haven't installed it yet.
[Galaxy S II General] Shortyred:
Ok I followed this and had root with the triangle, then ran the last step to get rid of triangle and now lost root. I thought the last step kept root too? Did I do something wrong? I don't think I did.
