[Q] Root a contract SGSII? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there.
I'm sort of itching to root my Galaxy S II, but I am reluctant in doing so because for the first time, I have this phone on contract from o2. Not to mention the rooting process looks more complicated than other phones I have rooted in the past (T-Mobile Pulse and ZTE Blade). I'm not too sure on installing a custom rom as the stock rom is fine, at least until CM and/or MIUI is availble for stable use.
Can anyone suggest a safe and easy way of doing this please? Much appreciated!

I bought it on friday, by saturday mornning it was rooted w/o problems, I just installed Chainfire rooted Kernel via Odin, took me like 3 mins, after that installed Cognition

Alright then. I reckon if I sit down and read it through properly, I can root it easy enough. Though the thing I am worried about is the fact I'm on contract with my phone, with no insurance. So could this void my warranty? And is there any way of ****ing it up and bricking the phone?
Just checking

Yes its very very very slightly possible to brick a phone but recoverable .
Warranty Root or Stock Rom = no warranty. You would need to resore a stock firmware and clear the rom counter .

Is that easy? Because with any luck, I wouldn't need to do that at least for another 20 months when I return the phone.

You don't need to return your phone when your contract ends - it's yours as soon as the contract starts!

No worries mate. Obviously you still need to return it to stock state if you need to send it back to your provider for repair, but it's your phone now

The way it works with a contract is the phone is a gift as an inducement to take out the contract . Saves the network responsibility for two year warranty on phone .

UnRoot Samsung Galaxy s2? Can this be done please?

Moved to General. Please don't open threads to ask questions in development.
You can unroot. Stock ROMs exist here which can be flashed via ODIN, and which will remove root. If you are on O2 UK branded ROM, it is also available.
To reset the number of "unsigned" ROMs flashed though, you need to use a USB Jig (which is a resistor and a USB plug).
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064894 for re-branding and unrooting an O2 model, and another thread is somewhere for restoring the stock firmware for a non branded one.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068522 to reset the counter in download mode.

Current problem with rooting is that there is a counter for number of flashed custom kernels inside the phone. When you root, that number goes up. No info yet on how to reset the counter, so it's possible that it could affect your warranty. (Unlikely, but possible) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068522 - Kind of difficult though, hopefully an easier way comes along!
Unrooting would be done by flashing back a stock Samsung kernel/rom.
Advantages to rooting are currently:
1) Removing system apps that you can't remove normally.
2) Run certain apps that require root. (Not many of these, really)
3) Modify the framework.apk which let's you do things like skin some of the UI, such as changing battery meters and that.

Eh? You can reset the counter now mate
Shove a USB Jig from an SGS 1 into the USB port and it should reset and remove the yellow warning, even telling you that a custom kernel is an original binary... See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068522

You can buy a jig online or make one. It's a single resistor and a usb connector. Solder them together correctly and done
Difficulty to someone with the slightest electronics experience is zero. I'm going to pop one together tomorrow and it will likely take about 4 minutes, most of which waiting on soldering equipment to heat up.

Unroot - just flash one of the stock ROMs.
Stop samsung knowing of the flash? It's the "reset counter" thread.
Just a Question...
If i just Root the Stock ROM without flashing any other Custom roms as I can live with stock.. will that have any effect on Flash Counters?.. I dont want to void warranty ...So i can flash stock rom again..
If I flash stock roms.. counters will run or will not be effected?
will not be affected.
I have a question,
I rooted my device and now i have to send it in for service.
I have flashed in a stock rom and reseted the counter but when i check my info in settings it says
[email protected]#2
I have tried with super one click but i only get
Getting model...

Any ideas how to get rid of the [email protected] in the end of the info?

That has nothing to do with root on your phone
I'm not sure but I think it is related to the build machine used to build the kernel.
You unroot by downloading the latest official firmware for you region/carrier. If that is done then you're fine.
Ok, since i downloaded the KF3 rom from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 thread it should be fine to turn the phone in for service, without they come back to me and say my root ruined my menubutton which have stopped working

well, there is a counter counting how many insecure kernels have been downloaded, you need the USB-jig to reset that, but in many cases the service centers doesn't check this at service.
I have already reseted the counter with a usb-jig and i have no yellow triangle or anything like that so it looks like everything is stock exept the kernel version.
hopefully they won´t even check it and repair it under warranty.
Sorry to bump thread. I flashed to stock firmware with odin3 but I think it is still rooted because the unlock tool, which requires phone to be rooted, still works. How do I unroot?
Flash full stock firmware = unroot if used the Chainfire CWM and Root method .

What is "flash one of the stock roms"?
I already rooted my Galaxy S2 now I would like to unroot it (I add certain programs for superuser, so that I would be able to run them as root while unrooted).
What rom should I get? Considering my kernel is XWKDD-CL16 ...

Un-Root Samsung Galaxy S2? Can this be done please?

Hi all,
Not sure whether to root or not, as I fear for my warranty :/ does it affect warranty ? and can it be reversed?
Thanks
James
Just want to know if it can be easily reversed please
Also what are the main advantages and disadvantages ? ...
I wanna remove some samsung apps, install droidwall and install LCD Density
Root can be reversed, and we can reset the flash count for unsigned kernels too
So yeah it should be undoable fine by flashing a stock rom and resetting download counter.
How do you go about removing a root? And is data lost?
You could re-flash back to the stock rom....but that will erase your data.
does the stock rom also update the kernel back to a secure one??
Sorry to bump this old thread but can Samsung or others detect if the phone has been rooted and then unrooted it it were for example to sent back for repair under warranty?

Would it be possible to unroot just using Superoneclick?
I tried once and it worked. However, does it completely remove all traces of root?

[Q] Why not use the official update procedure for modded kernels and OS versions?

Hi all!
I bought my GS2 about 3 weeks ago, it had 2.3.4 on it. I didn't root it, I didn't hack anything on it since then.
Two nights ago I installed the official 2.3.6 update from AT&T/Samsung. I was absolutely delighted by how easy and effortless the update was: it downloaded the 20 MB update package over WiFi, it automatically rebooted my phone, it applied the update, automatically rebooted it again, and voila, in about 4-5 minutes I had a new kernel version, a new Android version, and a new baseband version installed and ready to be used on my phone.
Note that I didn't have to root my phone for this and it also preserved all my apps and settings.
So, I have a likely naive question: why don't kernel and OS mods use the same procedure to install themselves? There's obviously a way to update the kernel easily, because it just happened to me 2 nights ago. Same for the OS update. So, why not just "hijack" AT&T's official update procedure for making kernel and OS mod installs as user-friendly as possible? If there are specific technical reasons preventing us from doing so, please, do explain them to me - I am a software engineer, I will understand, although I am an Android n00b.
I'm not 100% sure, but they probably use signed packages, and without the proper key, it won't let you update.
The update files from att are signed. If you can figure out or get your hands on the signature keys you could create any install (including kernels and roms) in an update file that could be installed simply with the stock recovery.

Not to mention making things too easy is a big reason for far more bricks then there should be.
Flashing a custom rom is not ment to be easy as the min you root it you voided your warranty and returning after the fact if you mess up is fraud.

Unless your root procedure or use thereof caused the phone or hardware to fail then this statement is not 100% true.
Read up on the Magnusson-Moss Act....of course, the burden is on the consumer to fight it.
To me, a phoned is really a cheap disposable piece of hardware. I prefer to take the risk of damage from use that may void my warranty. To me, having my phone (or car, motorcycle,etc...) work the way I want is more valuable than the peace of mind that a warranty provides.
Back on topic... Flashing a ROM is already pretty damn easy. I've done the entire procedure while sitting at red lights on the way home from work... I wouldn't expect a Dev to jump through the necessary hoops to mimic an OTA update

[Q] Is it worth unlocking my bootloader ?

I'd unlock my bootloader straight away but only if it doesn't void my warranty ..
i still have about 7 months in it .
I have a rooted xperia S , eager to install cyanogenmod 10 M2 cuz it gives me android 4.1.2 while being stuck now with 4.0.4 ...
So is it worth unlocking the booloader ? i just forget the whole warranty thing and go for it ? or the device might get damaged later on ?
Appreciate any Help and opinion
Thanks .
Well, once you unlock boot loader and root your beloved mobile, you will get such a pleasure which you don't get generally on a stock based unrooted ROM.
Although you'll have to sacrifice your warranty for it.
No, it won't cause any damage to your device unless your stupid enough to mess up the instructions and do it wrongly.
Benefits of ROOTING :
-Ability to install CUSTOM ROMS, kernels..etc
-Modify your phone the way you want
-Many apps needs root access, which don't usually run on a STOCK unrooted ROM.
-Get latest Android unofficial updates for your phone model......
...the list is endless

Does not answer your question but my own opinion, ignore this post if doesn't help you...
Do you have insurance? I prefer using Insurance rather than Warranty any day. You can do whatever you want and pay a small deposit and get a refurbished phone (or a new one if you get lucky) and it comes next day.
If you know how to root you should also know how to unroot for warranty purposes. I had to unroot my old g2 for that reason

Yeah lots of advantages by unlocking and rooting , and honestly i hate Sonys UI , its laggy , it would've been way better if they gave us stock experience ..
I'll be working again soon , so maybe i'll take the risk and unlock and even if the device broke , i'll pay a max of what 50 bucks ? or another max is i buy the new upcoming nexus phone so i would get the latest updates first .. hate to be left behind ..

I don't think warranty is void...you can always flash back the official ROM which will come for your country..
After the stock ROM is back, you shouldn't have any problems....Rooting/custom ROM usually voids warranty..
In India, many Samsung Customer care flash the updates via odin and not kies(mostly downloaded ROM from sammobile)...so you can claim the warranty for sure after you flash back the official stock ROM for your country via Odin...(Nor i think they'll know what firmware you had in your phone before putting that, they don't check every details and stuff, plus it was in the end stock)
Press Thanx if i helped..

Imagine you buy a Big Mac in germany, you save it for later.
You travel to the netherlands and you remember that you saved a BM for a snack. You're half way thru and you notice that there isn't any ketchup in it, so you go to Mc D's and ask them to give you another one. They check the ticket and they say "Sorry Sir, we're not responsable for hamburgers made in germany, go back to your country and ask them to deal with it".
