[Galaxy S II General] BenjyTec:
When I tried ROM Manager last time, it was quite useless. I recommend to flash the tar file via Odin. Or search for a recovery that can be flashed via stock recovery. Hope this helps.

how to root gt 19100 runing firm 4.4.4 bec i did it but on boating yellow triangle with exclamation point
[Galaxy S II General] iistoryahi:
You can easly flash cwm recovery through stock recovery , just download the cwm.zip then flash in recovery or you can flash through odin by flashing the cwm.tar file
[Galaxy S II General] iistoryahi:
You successfully did it , but with boating yellow triangle with exclamation mark ? The yellow triangle exclamation mark is a sign that your GT-I9100 is running a custom firmware or after you flash via odin. You can remove it by using triangle away to reset the flash counter , download it on playstore or my attachment :)

Didn't root

Hi,

I flashed siyah kernel on odin, as recommended, on my Samsung S2 i9100 4.1.2, and the kernel version afterward reads "Siyah-S2-V6.065", but when I check for root status, I get a negative response and Titanium app won't work.

Any ideas? It flashed but doesn't appear rooted.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] BenjyTec:
Perhaps you have to enable root access in the developer options, first.

Or try it again or use another rooting method (for example the first one in the OP). Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II General] elref:
Thanks for your reply.

I used your 2nd method again with success this time. Much appreciated!

My collegue has got an i9100 running the original 2.3.x version of Android.

What is the recommended way to root/upgrade the phone? Is it possible to follow the steps in #1, or we need to do some official upgrade first?

[Galaxy S II General] andoxj:
Hi,

I have installed Marshmallow ROM -- ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.6.4-20160224-i9100

As I have repartitioned the storage, and installed "cm12.1-kernel-22-06-for-ODIN" kernel, I lost CWM recovery.

I enabled the root access but the recovery is Cyanogenmod.

How can I get CWM recovery? Should I install Siyah-s2-v6.0b5 ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Galaxy S II General] iistoryahi:
No don't flash siyah kernel because it is for stock firmware or jelly bean rom , Follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/guide-want-to-update-to-cm13-read-t3313978 to replaced cyanogenmod recovery.

[Galaxy S II General] iistoryahi:
Read carefully this guide is only for 4.1.2 version , I know you're trying to root your phone with this tutorial but sadly this root method works only on 4.1.2 version

Flash the 4.1.2 firmware , download it on sammobile or search it on google then you can root now with this method.

Hello

I have an S2 with stock 4.1.2 FW with new partition ( using pit file and stock ROM with ODIN)

I flashed your .zip file from stock recovery

now I have root permissions.

I thought to have CWM recovery too !

Do you know how to change stock recovery in CvWvM or TWRP ?
[Galaxy S II General] iistoryahi:
if you want a CWM Recovery , flash the siyah kernel using odin. Take note siyah kernel is replaced the stock kernel and if i wrong siyah is the best kernel for our s2. I've been using this about a year
[Galaxy S II General] ms07.guf:
Hallo

I installed Siyah as you suggested to get custom recovery .

I lost external SD card.

System say "you can remove SD card" .

micro SD is a 64GB and my S2 red it very well before Siyah kernel.

How can I resolve or how can return to stock recovery conditions ?

thanks

PS

I try a 4GB micro SD and S2 read it. Why it do not read the SD 64GB anymore ?

please let me know if can solve problem, if not ,how can I return on stock recovery ?

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] iistoryahi:
Siyah kernel replace stock kernel and siyah kernel only read 16GB Micro sd card. If you want to return the stock recovery flash the stock firmware and everything will be back.

[Galaxy S II General] chrismiscms:
Hi there, just wondering if anyone has any advice for me please?

I'm hoping to root my (very) old SGS2 and upgrade it to KitKat so I can install the BB-8 Sphero app for my daughter - I'm not "THAT" precious about the phone, just would be a nice idea for her.

Anyway, I started off runnning "CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip" and it seemed to all go OK, but once I got back into JellyBean, Root Checker confirmed the device was not rooted.

I tried a few other options and eventually went for Siyah Root Kernel; Odin reported the "PASS" as expected, but now in JellyBean, Root Checker reports that the device is not properly rooted.

So, should I try Siyah Root Kernel again, or maybe "CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip"? Both options seem to be available as I can still get into Download mode - and all the way to JellyBean, so the phone still works!

NOTE - The phone is still network-locked; some opinions seemed to be Unlock and then root, others seemed to be root then Unlock.

ALSO NOTE - Sorry, yes I am a noob, although reasonably computer-literate; as I said, just a little project to get Sphero running on it and give my kid a handset all her own to play with BB-8.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I own a rooted Huawei Ascend Mate 2 on 4.2. stock ROM. The Huawei ROM is aggressive at killing apps, and I decided perhaps moving Kik into the system would help prevent it from being killed so much (I miss messages more often than I get notified). Guess that was stupid, as now my screen will not come on after the booting animation. ... It just goes black. Clicking the power/unlock button will make it vibrate quickly, but that is all. I can reboot by pressing and holding, and the boot animation comes back up, but goes black again. The phone appears to be on even though the screen keeps sleeping, my computer detects it. I cannot confirm if it registers charging, as I have my LED disabled. I do not have a nandroid backup (that IS, indeed, stupid of me), so I know a factory reset would bootloop the device due to the modifications I have made. Please, any suggestions on how to wake this thing?

I dont need to hear "Well sounds like it's baked lolz" because im already afraid that's what im looking at.

I've been trying to push TWRP in, and struggling.

In Command, it seems everything is ok up until a certain point. I go through all the code, then try to 'reboot-bootloader' but it comes back with 'error: device offline'

Im using Win7 if it helps.

TWRP is installed now after a lot of fuss. Can't get the stock Rom to install now. It keeps saying 'error flashing zip '/sdcard/TWRP_BACKUPS_stock-system-with-root.zip'

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TechGuruGJ:
I rooted my AT&T Galaxy S4 running Android 5.0.1 using kingroot and it worked great. I proceeded to try to install a custom ROM, which failed and I never even overwrote the stock ROM. So I am currently using the stock ROM. I recently got an update from AT&T for the stagefright patch, but every time I try to install the update, it puts the device into a secure boot download screen. I have to reboot the device to get back to Android. I also tried factory reset but it also causes the secure download screen to show up. I want to trade in to upgrade soon and I need to know how to fix this. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] buggerritt:
Ok, if you want to get the stagefright patch and still be rooted, follow directions here with the stock rooted rom. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/how-to-update-to-i337oc3-5-0-1-keeproot-t3075814

After the flash, don't install or flash anything else, update with the OTA from AT&T. If you want to remove the custom padlock nag, use triangle away from play store.

If you just want to get it completely stock, Odin to stock NB1 by following directions in this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2616221

You can take the OTA updates after that but only one every 24 hours. It'll update from NB1 to NJ4 first. Not sure how many updates get you to OC4 4.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMantasas:
Hello guys, yesterday at night I noticed that a small spot on my screen wasn't working. It had J and N soft keys included, I got kind of mad, but just tried to reboot the phone, after rebooting it was fine again for some time, then it just stopped working again. I made a factory reset for the phone and just put it to charge while all the apps that I had were downloading. I wake up in the morning and bam, the vertical line, which used to be like a square on the lower side of screen is all throughout the screen now, rebooting doesn't help... I know that it's most likely a hardware problem, but this nexus is like 2-3 years old so no warranty for me so I'm looking for different solutions... Has anyone encountered this and knows how to solve it?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n64_ali:
Hello all,

Recently moved back to Android after a pretty unsuccessful stint with Windows Phone. Anyway, got the G3 (D852) for a steal but was disappointed to find some of the features of stock Android missing (multiple users, expandable notifications) from the stock ROM so wanted to go the AOSP/CM route, but I had some questions I was hoping someone could answer before I go ahead and do that.

1.) As I bought the phone new, it still has a warranty. Would flashing a custom recovery trip a counter like on some Samsung phones or can the phone be restored to full stock without the shop knowing in case I need to take it in?

2.) Are there any major bugs with CM roms? I read that there are some issues with audio recordings and camera quality. Anything else I should be aware of?

3.) Do features such as double tap to wake, the Quick Circle case, and knock code work with CM?

I think that's all for now. Thank you in advance for your help!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsbighead:
1) Theres a root flag checker in the service menu that detects if you have the su or busybox binary present on your device along with superuser.apk but if you download the firmware for the device and you do a full wipe using the flash tool it resets the check

3) Double tap to wake and knock code work properly with CM, Quick Circle can only be used to unlock the device unless you install a xposed module

Whats the feasibility of exchanging your D852 for a D855?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n64_ali:
Hey, thanks for the super quick reply. Not likely I can change without paying quite the penalty so I'd prefer to just stick it out. I imagine there's not a whole lot of support for our Canadian model then? Seems strange to have a whole other version of the device just for us. :/
[Sony Xperia M2] taxtropel:
Recently I rooted my M2 LTE. (KingRoot, took like 30 sec)

One of the first things I did was to find and change the awful answering machine audio file.

I found the audio located in

/data/data/com.android.phone/am/greeting_msg/

In other Xperia forums the audio file had to be the same size as the previous file, but I found with my M2 it didn't seem to matter.

What mattered was the filename and audio encoding.

The data for the M2 answering machine seems to be stored in a mysql database located in:

/data/data/com.android.phone/databases/MySql_AM_Db

But I am lazy and didn't want to mess with that bit.

So here's what I did, as ROOT w/ R/W access to /data on device...

Used

Ubuntu Linux

command line BTW

1st pulled the file from my android device w/ adb to my current directory (Home)

adb pull /data/data/com.android.phone/am/greeting_msg/cci2015817202821.amr ./

Next I used sox to identify the specific encoding, in this case Adaptive Multi Rate - Narrow Band

soxi cci2015817202821.amr

Here's what I got:

Then I took my custom greeting and converted it into the correct format w/ sox and renamed the file to match the old greeting.

sox greeting.wav greeting.amr-nb
mv greeting.amr-nb cci2015817202821.amr

Finally I pushed the new greeting to the device (as root).

adb push ./cci2015817202821.amr /data/data/com.android.phone/am/greeting_msg/

Then I went to my Answering Machine on the device (Phone->Menu->Disable Answering Machine for some weird Sony reason) and played my message and :D wham-o! New audio!

Called myself just to be sure and all was good. :cool:
