Re: [NEW][GUIDE][ICS] How to Root/Unroot Your I9100G Via Stock Recovery

No...still up...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] mhairy:
Problem solve..:victory:

Method 2:

Advantages: No flash counter increase or yellow triangle.

Disadvantages: Temporary ClockworkMod Recovery. You must have an External SD Card!

Prerequisites: The CWM.zip and root.zip from this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?yh2ii6mbozz9243

Step 1: Put the CWM.zip onto your EXTERNAL SD Card and root.zip on external OR internal SD.

Step 2: Get into the stock recovery mode by pressing Home Button + Volume Up key + Power key while your phone is turned off.

Step 3: From there, select apply update from external storage, and select the CWM.zip.

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. (Your internal and external sdcard might have their locations switched with the other, so double-check!)

Step 6: Flash root.zip and reboot.

I have followed the guide posted on the first page but somehow i'm not able to enter into recovery mode.

I have flashed into ICS stock ROM and followed the procedure.

Re: [NEW][GUIDE][ICS] How to Root/Unroot Your I9100G Via Stock Recovery

You must shut off the phone completely, then press volume up+home+power together until the phone lights up...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] allenultra:
Tried that....

The Samsung logo did appear but it didn't boot into the recovery mode. As I continue pressing the 3 buttons together, the screen just show nothing....

I have even taken out the battery and put it back on certain attempts to confirm the phone is being shut off completely.

Is there anything I miss out?

As on my HTC Desire HD, I need to disable fast boot to boot into recovery mode. This is the first phone I had issues booting into recovery mode.

Re: [NEW][GUIDE][ICS] How to Root/Unroot Your I9100G Via Stock Recovery

No idea then...that is the only thing you need to do for this phone...no fastboot or whatsoever...the only way to enter recovery if you are not rooted is to press the volume up first, home, then power button together...don't press the power button first...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] iXanza:

Three's a simple solution for you:

2) Select Import/Export option and copy all contacts to SD by selecting Export to SD.

3) That's it. You'll have all your contacts in SD.

Restoring:

1) Contacts > Menu> Import/Export> Import from SD.

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] iXanza:
You may try flashing http://bit.ly/12SfdWY through the stock recovery then flashing the su-bb root zip in the temporary cwm. I'm not sure if it'll work tho.

"You may try flashing http://bit.ly/12SfdWY through the stock recovery then flashing the su-bb root zip in the temporary cwm. I'm not sure if it'll work tho."

so the temp cwm6 is clock work?, and whats su-bb?, and if i did cwm6 only will it get rooted or i will have to flash both files throw stock menu ?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] iXanza:
You need both. Su-bb I'm referring to the zip for root
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Crommy:
i don't get it, should i put Temp_CWM6.zip in sd and flash it throw stock menu then the SU-BB-Installer.zip ? or els lplz tell me the steps :)

Both file put on ext sd..Flash Temp_CWM6 then SU-BB-Installer..

PS: Most people has been update to Firmware JB/ICS..U still used GB..

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Crommy:
i still use GB because it doesn't waste the ram thus better battery and more work time, GB uses 300MB out of 900MB on the other hand JB and ICS uses 600-700 out of 800MB , so no thanks i like GB :)

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tripranav:
Hey Guys,

I am getting my Dad`s S2 (i9100G) next week as he bought S3. So my question is:

The S2 which I will be getting is currently on ICS, so do I; {1} update it to JB and then root it or {2} root it on ICS and then update to official JB (if I select the second option, will I have to again root it after updating it to JB)?

Also I would like to mention I will be just rooting the device to use Titanium Backup and nothing beyond that. Custom firmware is not my cup of tea, I am happy with just the root.

So, to root I should be following the below steps; is that correct? And also what is the use of Busybox?

And Oh! One last question, do I have to unlock the bootloader of S2 as well to root? As I remember last year when I had HTC Chacha I had to first unlock the bootloader in order to root it.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Ryuinferno:
Have no idea...would advise you to reflash a different firmware...

See above...

There is no locked bootloader here...root after you upgrade...you will lose root if you root it first...Busybox enables you to use root functionality properly...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tripranav:
Thank`s Bro for the info.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tripranav:
[MENTION=4576707]Ryuinferno[/MENTION]

I just got my dad`s S2 today. It has been updated to JB via OTA. Now the first thing I need to do (before the rooting) is a factory reset via recovery menu because my dad`s stuff is in there but before that I want to know if I perform a factory/data wipe using the recovery menu (which is Boot into recovery mode by pressing Volume up + Home + Power buttons simultaneously) will that also roll back the Android os? I mean will that remove JB and get back to ICS or GB?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] iXanza:
It wont rollback OS'es.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tripranav:
Thanks iXanza

BTW, which format option is better? Through the recovery menu or under settings? Or both are the same?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Ryuinferno:
They do the same stuff...but if you want a super through wipe, it should be done in recovery...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tripranav:
I did the wipe through the recovery. It did the factory reset on settings and apps but the files on my internal memory (i.e the inbuilt 11gb space on the phone not the SD card) were still there :(

I had to manually format that under the settings after my first boot. Any idea why the inbuilt space didn`t get formatted when I did the wipe through recovery? :(

Anyways now everything is working perfect and I also rooted my device using your mentioned steps and it got rooted.

Now one question: I have installed some games and apps on my S2 but they are getting installed on device memory (i.e 1.97gb) and not on the usb storage (i.e the internal 11gb). Why is this happening?

Will I have to use apps2sd or link2sd app to move them to the usb storage location? (Also by this I dont mean the SD card)
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Ryuinferno:
1. This thread is about rooting, I have my rights to not answer non-root related questions...please ask at Q&A next time...

2. Factory reset wipes the /data partition...only CWM has the option to wipe internal storage...

3. You have almost 2 GB of device storage, except if you wanna stuff the phone with 30++ HD games, you will hardly reach the limit...some apps are installed in internal by default, and can be moved manually, but some can't...the best way? Let the phone decide itself...btw, using Link2SD on a S2 is ermm...making people speechless...

4. You asked more than 1 question in the end...lol... which is why I had to answer in this format...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] tripranav:
Thanks a lot for your response and sorry for asking those non-root related questions here in the first place. Will make sure to ask those in Q&A next time.

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] aman bansal:
To enter into recovery first just turn off your phone..

Then take out your battery and then reinsert it..

Then press power +home +volume up key..

when the galaxy s2 screen comes up leave the power button while holding volume up and home..

1)The method in the thread is the best if you want only root..

But if you want to flash any custom ROM then flash blazing kernel v12 and then any rom without rooting as all custom roms come pre-rooted.

2)the rom depends on your choice. just try and chose the one you like the most.

Look, certain newer Samsung firmware does not allow test signed packages to be flashed in recovery, so what to do now (assuming you are on 4.1.2):

1. Flash the XXLSR (4.1.2) kernel only via ODIN, then boot into recovery and flash the root package again

2. If system is acting weird after you did as above, flash the whole XXLSR (4.1.2) firmware and flash the root package
