Rooting i9105P

Hi there. I tried to root my phone using your instructions.

I did everything in the instructions but im stuck with android system recovery and i still couldnt get into cwm.. it says in odin already pass. what do i do?

Help me please..

This is my SGS2 plus details

Help me please..
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] gastonw:
You're gonna have to flash another FW in order to root it by this method.

Stick to the successful rooted FW in the first 3 pages.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] kunchita:
what version and country should i use? is it safe? im using the latest FW of Hongkong.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] gastonw:
You should get this FW.

I assume there'll be no harm in flashing that.

Maybe some guy here can confirm.

Odin does not detect my my phone on Download Mode

Hi guys, I just bought this phone yesterday, problem is, when I enter download mode, Odin does not detect my phone, weird thing is, when my phone is powered on, Odin was able to detect my phone(COM Port was showing, and Odin shows added.). I tried plugging my phone on three different computers with five different USB cables(three new and two spares from my old samsung phones), one is a Mac with windows 7 on vmware, the other two are just plain old PCs. Any of you guys experiencing that problem? Is there any way to root the phone with out flashing thru odin?

Model: GT-I9105P

FW: I9105PZSAMC1

All stock no root :(

EDIT: I was able to flash CWM, no idea but it seems USB 3.0 was not compatible with Odin so I used a old computer with USB 2.0. thank you guys for the root :)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] OurJerry:

Which rom should i flash now for root ??

Is it with I9105PXXAMA2_I9105POXAAMA2_DBT working ?

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] danyal241:
Just uncheck auto reboot. And once it says pass go directly to recovery holding volume up + home plus power....
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] AmoledIsBetter:
To all the poeple still having problem with a disappearing custom recovery, here's what I did to get it to stick, it might also work for you. I used CWM recovery.

- Follow the recovery install guide until the point where the flashing is complete. Do not restart your phone, but instead go directly to recovery by pressing volume up + home + power, all three at the same time (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41692376&postcount=90). CWM should start.

- From CWM recovery, Install SUpdate.zip. Now your phone is rooted.

- Reboot (via CWM menu). CWM on exit will ask about overwriting flash, just select no.

- Boot into Android.

- With a root file explorer, rename the /system/recovery-from-boot.p to /system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak (http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/18932/why-isnt-clockworkmod-recovery-sticking). This prevents the custom recovery being overwritten on each boot of the system.

- You might have to re-install CWM recovery once more, but it should be permanent now.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] zoreli:
Its work , thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] lousou76:
I have flashed DBT image on my I9105.

I can see it is prerooted, it does not need supersu flashing.

I can also see that it has cwm installed. I start cwm by keeping power-vol up-home pressed.

Now how can I see if the counter is raised and how can I restore default recovery if I want?

I also want to ask why this version of CWM does not have backup/restore.

I mean what is the meaning of having cwm if basically it cannot backup.

Thank you.

[EDIT]

- I want to point to all those wanting to reset their phone to stock samsung.

You can put the phone in download mode with home Vol-down and power button (press vol-up at the warning screen)

After that you can go to Kies and Choose Tools->upgrade firmware, enter your model (ex GT-I9105P) and serial number (it is under the battery)

And connect your phone will return to stock.

- After flashing the prerooted firmware the bin counter is 0 and the phone is rooted but the cwm is outdated with too fiew options.

You can flash the file given in First post CWMtouch-i9105_chotu.tar.md5.zip to have a nice full featured CWM but it will raise the bin counter again to 1.

[EDIT2]

You can use papp triangle-away to reset the bin counter.

triangle-away xda link

I have tested.

Or you can edit the stock prerouted firmware and replace the recovery.img and reflash it with odin...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpgorbosjr:
Ok, so I got stuck with an 8gb model. (I got an extremely good condition one used with box/unused accessories for $285 so I won't complain too much.

The 8gb never appealed to me. Not because I need so much space, but I hate the idea of using the cloud *when* carriers are charging so much just to get 2gb-4gb of bandwith.

Well anyway, for that reasons I am using an Unlimited T-Mobile plan, and am wondering....what tips does everyone have for using the cloud to keep using all the features you want (games, music, pictures, etc.) while keeping storage available on the device?

I never used a lot of space, but I at least would always put a lot of music on my SD card and let things clutter up because I had a 32gb SD card.

So what are you guys doing?

I'm going to use Pandora/Play Music streaming for my music fix....

anybody have a good way of uploading pictures you take/deleting them automatically?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0091:
Not using this method myself, but you could get these apps:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.box.android

From what I've heard Box gives you 50GB of free storage when logging into the app on an LG device!

I hope this is the solution you're looking for.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpgorbosjr:
So do you think I can use Foldersync to sync with Box?

I have always had Dropbox, but I use that primarily for work and don't want to put personal stuff on it.

I have a Box account (already with 50gb from signing up way long ago) but they make you pay for syncing...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0091:
You definitly can, I tested it just to be sure. Maybe they used to charge you for syncing, I dont know, but they don't anymore. You can see what features you can use on the free plan right here: https://www.box.com/pricing/

If you want to use an alternative cloud service you can also use Google Drive or any of the other Cloudsync supported services. You can see what other cloud based storage services are supported in the Cloudsync description: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite

Hope this helped you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davwman:
Box is good, use two gmail accounts with your nexus and get 100gb;). Drop box is good also. I generally have around 2gbs available. I keep all things that I use most often on internal storage. Everything else on cloud/s. The 8gbs isn't that big of a deal, just makes you a little more aware of what space you have.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pandalero:
To keep your photo and video storage to a minimum, you can use Google+ Instant Upload. Once your photos and videos are uploaded, you can delete them from your device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpgorbosjr:
Foldersync and Box did the trick. I have 50gb on box, so I set up my picture/video folders to sync with Box then delete the content off the device after sync.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] versd:
if you are keeping a stock backup, use twrp as you can compress a backup file.

leave google+ instant upload or similar on.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pandalero:
By default, yes. But with one of the recent updates, you now have the option of uploading at full resolution.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Beam5:
Good shout, didn't know about the upgraded space! Just logged in on Android app and got myself some free space, nice one!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisMBP:
I'd still consider drop-box if i were you. If you have camera upload enabled, even if you delete a photo after you've taken it, when you get home or connect to WiFi, the deleted photos still get uploaded. It's kinda of strange, but its always done it on my Gnex, and same thing happens on my N4, so it cant be just me.

But if you really want to keep your drop-box account for work that's fine.

To get more drop-box storage, ask any of your friends that have a fairly new HTC or Samsung device if you can log in with your drop-box account, it will give you bonus storage.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicky_:
Hi Guys,

I am planning to upgrade my defy from stock ROM to JB.

Is there any SBF available that is fixed than full.

Fixed ROM does not burn the e bridge inside the phone so that I can downgrade the phone to stock.

But with FULL ROM , it burns the bridge and thus I Would not be able to downgrade the phone.

Any info or suggestion would be helpful.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intemptesta:
You got the right idea about flashing higher SBF will get you stuck and can't downgrade.

But you have a bit misconception about SBF, those SBF files are "Stock" roms from Moto. Defy has 2.2.2 froyo stock rom as the newest (they abandon it) Defy+ has 2.3.6 gingerbread the most (got abandoned too).

So, there're 2.2.2 SBFs for Defy mb525, and 2.3.6 SBFs for Defy+ mb526, but no "ICS or JellyBean SBF for Defys".

We use SBF only for reverting back to Stock.

Fixed SBF are usually a patch to get a custom rom work without breaking it, not a custom rom itself.

You should read more about SBF and Custom roms. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216982

If you want Jellybean roms, you must use custom roms. Custom roms didn't use SBF to install (as you know, it burn the bridge).

Instread we use 2ndinit/bootmenu to workaround and install custom roms without touching the bridge.

If you interested to try JB, read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1795647
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicky_:
Thank you.

I had mistakenly mentioned sbf for custom ROM. My bad.

So, is there any ROM that is fixed and not full for jb?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] unknown_owner:
Got that code to do the tradeup and I plugged in the info and it looks like the HTC Evo LTE is worth just $100 trade up for the HTC One, in case anyone was curious. Don't know how this can be of any benefit Would you be charged the full price of the phone or just $99 ($199- $100 trade up)? Would your contract with Sprint reset for 2 yrs when you got the phone? I'm still reading through the fine print.

Surprisingly the One X is $115 and the One S is $100. Shows you how much they don't value the Evo LTE. Even the old G1 is worth $100. Sad I tell you. :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
One is not a big upgrade over the LtE so wait for next year's phone if you need to trade in your lte
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
Actually it kinda is
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CrazyTechnoBoy:
I agree with you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Not enough to get ONLY $100 for an used LTE and have to buy the One off contract
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joshnor713:
Just sell it somewhere, you'll definitely get more than $100, probably double that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
I agree with the above, with all due respect to swaze, 100 dollars buy back, as in the context of the OP, it is not worth it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stankcheeze:
Get an old ****phone and trade that in, sell your LTE another way.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joshnor713:
Yes. However, I bought the LTE off-contract last year, which means I have an upgrade coming up. Really don't know if I should sell the LTE and get the One or wait to see what else comes out. Hate sitting with an upgrade though.

The chipset upgrade is looking less crucial for me than back in the day, the LTE is pretty fast the way it is. So what I would be really gaining is great speaker sound, better camera (questionable), slightly better screen (but how much better is slcd2 --> slcd 3?), and Sense 5.

However, I would be losing the kickstand, dedicated camera button, menu/recent apps button, slightly smaller phone (dimension-wise, the One has more bezel, which equates to bigger phone even though they're both 4.7")

Love the chassis on the One though! But the LTE is mostly aluminum, so it doesn't make it as bad.

Can't decide!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Get the one and keep the LTE as a backup so you can cancel your insurance :cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joshnor713:
What do you think I did with the phone I had when I bought the LTE off-contract? It's a 3D by the way, and it's sitting in my office for this very reason :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dre22era:
I for one am not impressed with the HTC One in regards to it really being worth an upgrade from the LTE

The 1st camera reviews that have come out so far have been beyond disappointing.

In due time a Dev will have the HTC One software running on the EVO LTE

After that, what would be a reason to upgrade if you are not eligible for a full upgrade?

I would also be highly disappointed if HTC no longer gives sprint an exclusive phone.

Thats one of the main reasons why I have chosen to remain with sprint (11 years) as I refuse to have a sprint phone that other carriers offer

because i know that phone performs better on their networks that have better LTE reception

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joshnor713:
It made sense to me. He said he needs a reason to be on Sprint. He said his reason was the awesome exclusive phone. So if there's no excusivity (i.e. same phone on every carrier), then it doesn't make sense to him to be on Sprint, sense the signals are worse than the other big name carriers.

One big reason I'm on Sprint though is the price. I'm willing to suck up the signal quality for a lower phone bill.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mulhiny:
Why do some think the One isn't an upgrade? It has a quad core and double the ram. Really, to me, it's a bigger upgrade from the LTE than the LTE was from the 3D (unless you actually have LTE). The 3D was a duo core just as our phone and with the same 1gb of ram. Hell, with the sense 4 ports it was a pretty spiffy handset. Coming to this phone from the Note 2, there is a definitive difference from a duo core processor to a quad core..I think sometimes (myself included) we don't see the next best thing as a justification for upgrade simply because we aren't eligible yet or can't afford it outright. Just my thoughts...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
I don't trade in nothing... I sale my old phones for cash locally. Sold OG for $150 when I got 3d, sold 3d for $225 when I bought LTEVO retail etc
