SCH-R760
[Galaxy S II General] v3po:
Just a quick question, my S II is running on SCH-R760, but I'm not seeing FF18 or 24, the closest thing i see is K.FI24 So is there a difference? Sorry kind of a noob when it comes to androids I've always been more of an apple kind of guy. :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
What are you looking for,stock kernel or rom? A little more info plz,and I'll help as much as i can... also welcome to the world of Andriod, glad your here.
[Galaxy S II General] xzzy1bocko:
I also have the gs2 for us cellular (SCH-R760).

I recently updated to ice cream sandwich 4.0.4.

My build number and baseband seem to be saying something about "FK19"

My current kernel is "se.infra@SEP-63 #3".

I noticed the title to the thread says "NON US CELLULAR" but my carrier is us cellular and I'm trying to figure out a root.

I am also a noob and am new to this but any help for getting this thing rooted would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
I honestly dont have a clue as to rooting ICS. We're still onGB:(

Try searching XDA then TeamUsCelluar,I've seen a good bit of support over there.

Good Luck.
[Galaxy S II General] xzzy1bocko:
Alright thanks

If you're looking for the ICS update, it's available for download on uscellular.com

I'm looking for the stock FI24 kernel, any help is appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] Josiah_Genesis:
Non US Cellular?

I have been searching high and low and I cannot find a step by step toutorial on this FOR thebUS Cellular version of the phone. Also upgraded to new software version of android btw. A prompt response appreciated. If any can help Please and Thank you in advance!
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
If you havent found anything here. Try teamuscellular. They are pretty much dedicated to your specific device.

[Galaxy S II General] markmandoo:
yes they are, still haven't seen any info on an FI24 kernel though
[Galaxy S II General] Shortyred:
Where did you get that?
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
Somewhere in xda but just Google it
[Galaxy S II General] michaelnm:
If you're talking about the odin program, it was step 2 at the beginning of the thread for rooting the phone. Here's the link to it

@daddyodizzel - Did you flash the update tar file the same way we flashed the stock and custom kernels?
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
Yup I just put it in pda section then put my phone in download mode and flashed away...
[Galaxy S II General] michaelnm:
Alright, i'm gonna restore to stock just to be safe and then i'll flash this thing. Really excited and scared as **** at the same time! Don't want to screw up my basically new phone :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
You can do it! Let us know how it goes
[Galaxy S II General] michaelnm:
IT BOOTED UP. so far so good. Don't have root, but none of my apps from my stock backup were deleted after the flash, not complaining just means it worked just like an OTA update would.
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
Congrats sir make sure to enable power saver mode
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
So no ideas how to get back to stock without CWM?
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
Not really except flashing the generic stock file... but that could break data... But it also might work since we flashed a generic tar to jelly bean... but don't hold my word for it. Its just a guess.
[Galaxy S II General] Stricken66:
Even with the bad battery you recommend the upgrade?
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
I do actually. The power saver mode will help it a good bit. I've used it after I charged my phone for a while and it greatly increased... I pass on this info to a person that I know in RootzWiki... He flashed same as I did, and kept root access don't know how, but it did... So good for him! Lucky! But yes I recommend it at the end of the day. :good: :victory:

NEVERMIND ON THE ROOT ACCESS... He jumped the gun, so remember you will LOOSE root
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
Anyone got a good link for the stock file? I downloaded one but the md5 value is invaled and removing md5 from the end of the file causes odin to crash

---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------

Well I flashed the generic jellybean tar (GB28) I beleive and it booted. Not sure why the other wouldnt. Im on 4.1.2 and everything works. Official jellybean is pretty darn cool.
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
It totally is. Don't forget you don't have root unless you find a way.. And let us know :D also Remember to set power saver mode on. This jelly bean is power hungry and it'll eat your battery up. And update your apps
[Galaxy S II General] Stricken66:
I will try this out later. Should I use Clockwork to flash back to the backup I have of stock first, or should flashing through Odin work anyway?
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
I went to stock first then Odin tar... I don't know if to do it from cm9
[Galaxy S II General] Stricken66:
I guess in theory Odin should work, but better safe than sorry.
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
Flashing from cm9 did not work for me. Im not sure why, but it didnt. I however did flash a different generic jelly bean rom and it worked. The one in this thread though will not work coming from CM9, from my experience.

I wish there was a way to make the homescreen hold 4x5 icons. I want 5 icons across like the dock. Samsungs icons are always huge and take up too much room.

SCH-R760X Thats the generic model number? I don't remember mine having a x but it is a alltel phone.

Root....

Gah... I've been looking all over all kinds of forums... Experimenting and risking my phone trying from i9000 or whatever is called rooting methods... I simply cant find anything... I'm starting to think this is as far as well get with our SII SCH-R760
[Galaxy S II General] Shortyred:
Welcome to the nightmare! :eek::banghead:

I have a galaxy tab2 thats running jellybean and the phone looks just like it,
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
Yeah that's what I'm afraid... I wonder if I flash the stock generic (since we flashed a generic for our phone) will it break data? Then I could root that, then through Mobile Odin, I could inject SU to the 4.1.2 tar... That's the only way I see of rooting.. but breaking data is a big risk... :crying: :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:

Use that link to flash the GB27...

I asked someone first to make sure it worked... So its safe Just in case of those doubtful

http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/topic/4061-jellybean-alltel-root-412/#entry59053

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

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34180283#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.

But you'll have Yellow Triangle when you boot up.... Haven't found a way to get it off but hey you got ROOT!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
Sweet what about CWM? Also there is an app triangle away that removes triangle and also resets flash counter.. last I looked it was a cpl bucks...

I'm not sure about cwm but agats recovery is very similar to it... I don't know if it has the backup part of it...

nTelos update next week

My phone is finally fixed! The guy at the nTelos store finally give up and replace my refurb with a new phone. He also said there would be an nTelos Jelly Bean update next week. Not sure if its OTA or an update from the web site, but I will have JB and data. I would like to thank everyone for the information provided and the general concern of all.
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
Ahhh. Ok
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
That's good congrats on that.... Mine works too hehe just teasing... Now back to business... Agats does have backup option and restore... I tried to flash cwm and didn't work so imma stick with Agats since I probably won't flash anything in a while

SCH-R760X JB
[Galaxy S II General] Stricken66:
With root on the new ROM you should be able too install the apps mentioned at the beginning of this thread and gain that permanent root. Then flash the stock kernel back. That should get rid of the triangle.

Guess I'll have to root when I install and try going back to the stock kernel. Have to get the kernel first. I would imagine it would be in the tar somewhere. Which would be easier to extract with Linux. Since all .tar is a Linux zip file. Though I doubt it's that simple never is...

Also if memory serves me correctly, after extracting the the files rezip the Zimage in its on file by itself as a tar file Odin don't like compressed files with zip at the end...
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
dude im confused.. you gotta dumb it down a bit more
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
Humm' OK when you extract/decompress the stock tar,there should be around 9 items in it. Boot.bin cache.img,data.img blah blah at the very bottom is the zimage which is the kernel. Right click on it select add to archive/compress which ever you may use the you'll have an option to compress it as a .tar/.rar Idk why them are the same.. or a zip.

An update for those waiting on the stock kernel. I was able to get into the tar, and after some digging have found that the zImage inside the ROM should be the kernel. Usually it is found inside boot.img, but since that doesn't seem to exist inside this ROM I think I can conclude that this zImage is the kernel. Now all of this is assuming I read the information right. I have done about an hour of reading on this. I'm more educated when I started, but nowhere near as educated as some on these forums or around the net. So, the next question is where do we go from here? I do believe that if this zImage is packed properly into a .tar, and flashed with odin it should bring it back to stock kernel. Now if you put busybox, and the other apps mentioned in the top of this thread you'll have persistent root. So, flashing over the zImage should leave you root, and a stock kernel with no triangle. This is all theory. I could be wrong about every step here. Though I think I'm heading in the right direction. What are your thoughts on this?
