Apn manager app works its a paid app, thats what I have Im sure there are probably others out there. You have to use an app it cant be modified in the setting menu.

so would a step by step way to root this phone look like this?

make sure you have your phone drivers installed before proceeding (i suppose).

1. download entropys DD_01232012.tar file

2. download and install odin or heimdall (does the version matter?)

3. put phone in download mode (hold volume down key and plug in usb cable til warning appears then press volume up key?)

4. install .tar file using either odin or heimdall (which one is better?)

5. after reboot follow the instructions and run the latest version of superoneclick (2.3.3)

and you should have root access, correct? is this all thats needed or am i missing something (busybox perhaps)? is the phone working properly without problems?

I'm trying to follow this process on a ST GSII and am stuck. Basically I've completed the whole process up until accessing CWM. I'm getting the yellow triangle with exclamation point when trying to boot into CWM to backup my existing rom. I did the zedomax process via odin and had to apply the entropy kernel due to loss of wifi. Can anyone help?

I also tried installing Rom Manager and flashing CWM recovery through that process, but there are multiple options to choose from regarding SII and didn't want to proceed. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

I kind of wish we had our own subforum, just so that we could have a sticky that said basically everything Entropy said earlier: that nobody should be doing anything to this phone until we have working custom recovery, working custom ROMs and working root. Which we don't have. Right now, people keep asking because finding any information on this phone is such a pain in the ass.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] HoosierDaddy2442:
I'm aware of that. I didn't flash the recovery to bootloader using Rom Manager. zedomax claims in his tutorial that just installing his kernel via odin gives us CWM. I'm not getting it. Just curious as to why.

OK I installed mobile Odin and tried to flash either the cmw or the twrp file from the OP but when I select open file then select either of the files it says "partition could not be found in file". Any idea what how to fix that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Never used mobile Odin with this phone so I couldn't tell you. If I had to guess, there's something missing in the file to tell Odin which partition to flash to. It should be mmcblk0p6.

Try this. Since you're rooted, download flashify then download this

https://mega.nz/#!soQUiRoT!iYNcFpK-d16zHYfgxQMfdxqSL-4ajERYzaAPZvgDUho

It's twrp 2.7.1.0 recovery image. Use flashify to flash the image to recovery. It should recognize your recovery partition but it will ask to be sure. Be sure it's mmcblk0p6. I never used flashify on this phone, only with my m8 but it works great. I'd be interested to see if it works on the s2. Not sure about it working on gingerbread though... You really should try to get the official jb firmware up and running on there. Gingerbread is ancient.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] godsey123:
its so ancient that flashify isnt compatible. so, i wasnt able to use that but i used adb in terminal emulator to flash the file and that did the trick. thanks. sim card wasnt working because my mom thought i had my own line because i have been using text plus app for texting so she didnt renew my contract last week. So, got everything ready to go to use this phone and another friend of my gave me an s 4. So, if nothing else i should be a little more prepared for setting up that phone. Thanks again

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Have you tried volume down + power, then letting go once the blue letters "booting in recovery mode" show up? If you can get into recovery you're fine. Perhaps try asking here in the forum for your device, hopefully you can find more specific help.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fennectech:
I am learning the device having fun with it and thanks for that .pit man you may want to add however that users may need to format the partitions manualy using TWRP's change partition details button as twrp just moans about being unable to mount the partitions even when you select to format them with wipe (i guess it doesnt know what filesystem to use for each (ext4 for everything but internal storage and fat for internal storage )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AnotherFreakinNoob:
help. After flashing a new rom and gapps I tried to install a google camera zip in twrp 2.7.1.0. It failed to install due to lack of space. From there I wiped Davik & cache then rebooted. The android updated apps upon reboot (112/112) and from there my SD card is not being recognized. Unable download due to SD not being found. No camera and after getting different camera app from the play store, it says SD card must be inserted. Since then I've tried full wipe with twrp and reinstalled the rom and gapps. Still the same issue. Any help would be HUGE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
What ROM and Gapps? What kernel? Have you tried a different SD card and why in the world would you need to flash Google camera in recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AnotherFreakinNoob:
The Rom and Gapps was from here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2774405 (rogerb11's Kitkat 4.4.4. CM11 w/ SaberMod and the gapps linked to it.) Google camera is in the link as well

ETA: Its the internal SD that not showing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Something probably got corrupted on your SD card. Happened to me once and I put it in an SD reader and popped it into the computer and let windows scan and fix it. If that don't work you could try formatting it but I'd see if it reads a different (known to be good) SD card first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AnotherFreakinNoob:
Just to be perfectly clear. I''ve run the rom for weeks now with nothing wrong. I'm 99% sure my problem stems from the update that was performed on the apps after reboot following the dalvik & cache wipe performed in twrp.

ETA: Its my phone's internal storage. When I hook up to my computer it just shows no folders at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Does twrp see your internal/external SD?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AnotherFreakinNoob:
Yes but it was the only the thing that did. Downloaded a SD file manager and it showed nothing. No DCMI/data/cache. It showed nothing just like when I hooked to my PC. Turns out however you were dead on all along. Seems I had a corrupt 1GB external SD card that I'd forgotten was in there and after the android updated it was somehow blocking my internal storage. When I pulled the thing out everything instantly showed up, the camera started working, all data was there.

Again thanks a million man. Wish I'd asked before I factory wiped lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Glad you got it fixed. Amazes me that this phone is still kicking
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AnotherFreakinNoob:
She still powering right along lol. Actually was about to but a new one and decided to give installing a new ROM a shot. Love the Kitkat 4.4.4 from rogersb11 . The thing works flawlessly and I've decided to just keep what I got.

I actually bought another one of these off ebay w/ a broke charging port for $15. Bought the part to fix for $3 and got it running the same ROM now. I'm kinda using it to test other ROMS and such. Gonna try increase my space to see if I can get 6.0

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AnotherFreakinNoob:
Worked like a charm. Couple more questions if you please. Anyone take this thing up to the 6.0 Marshmallow? If so what version of TWRP did you use to flash it and did you just flash it back using ODIN or go with the CM recovery that came with it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AnotherFreakinNoob:
Upon further review...lol. Looks like when I flashed the pit all my files went to my external SD and my sdcard0 wasn't formatted. Therefore I can't see my phones internal storage on my PC (it shows no files) and I can't take store pictures and such because it says no SD card inserted. File manager shows everything on sdcard1. Everything else seems to function fine. Even flashed a new ROM and gapps. uploaded a few apps just to see. It all functions great. I imagine the problem came from when I repartitioned the external sd a while back to use links2sd for extra storage (maybe I should've took the external sd out before I flashed the pit?).

Anyway. I bought a new external sd and moved my TWRP backup to it and plan on flashing the pit and going through the steps again to see if I get it right this time. Also noticed the repartition box in ODIN is unchecked (should it be?). Appreciate any thoughts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:

Hi, guys!

I'm trying to download factory firmware for my soft-briked s959g but unfortunately all factory firmware links are dead (from first page under factory firmware spoiler).

I looked for this firmware everywhere, but found nothing.

Thank you so much in any case.

If you can connect with Odin, You could flash the .pit file in this thread for repartitioning. Its found on page 383 and was posted by david72262. From there you should be able to install custom recovery with Odin and flash any ROM you like. *Note After flashing the recommended recovery (TWRP 2.7.1.0) be sure to change internal storage, data, cache, and dalvik cache to EXT4 and repair all file systems.
