Hi guys,
I have a rooted i9000 galaxy S and I'm thinking of getting an S2. This may sound thick, but will my apps work with the S2 or will I have to start fresh? I have some I bought from the market pre-root. will I have to buy again or is it all worked out by my google account? Also is there an easy root for S2 like the one click one I used on the i9000 as I hate bloatware. Hope someone can help.
All apps should transfer all mine did .
Root couple of posts in the dev section i prefer Chainfires Root and CWM .
Major difference on SGS 2 is the new custom rom counter on download screen but can be set to zero via USB jig .

That's great to know. It answers all my questions thanks for that

Good Day!
I just picked up a shiney new Galaxy S II from ATT (from my iPhone 4). I've had various Android tablets, and rooted many droid phones (including the Vibrant I had a week).
However I'm unsure which CF-root to use with this baby, and I don't want to brick it.
Under Settings, About Phone this is what is listed.
Android Version
2.3.4
Baseband
I777UCKH7
Kernel Version
2.6.35.7
My understanding is the CF-Root I need would use KH7, but I haven't found one (at least in the CF-Root thread, but its 200+ pages long!)
Any information would rock my world and save quite a bit of time for me!
Thank you!
Hey there
XDA created a new forum for AT&T SGS2 located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1301 I just did a quick check and see a few rooting threads under development you might want to check out. This forum is for the international galaxy s ii so you most likely won't find the kernel you're looking for to root here since its technically a different model with the soft key buttons and all. I believe Codeworkx created a rooting solution over there
Hope this helps
Thank you, not 5 minutes after I posted this did I find the link to the other forums! rock on xda!
I just got it... can u send me the link?
I have the same problem, do you think you can send me the link to download it?? thanks!

Dude, this is a 6 month old thread, and the ATT Galaxy s2 forum is linked in post 2 above.
Hey guys, this is my first post, so correct me if im in the wrong place!
So i've had my Samsung galaxy SII (GT-I9100) for about 3 months now, and i only found out about root probably 1 week ago! haha
So i have rooted my Galaxy with CF-Root, off xwkk2 kernal (link below), on Gingerbread 2.3.6 and i was wondering what i should do with it? I have tried a few custom roms, none of which seem to want to stay working, so do you guys have any good ones i should check out?
Also, i was wondering if anyone can point me towards a list of all root apps, as i am interested in more than just Titanium Backup (AMAZING) and the like.
Oh, and if you guys could tell me both how to "Thank" someone on the forums, and even how to install anything you have suggested, i will love you forever
Thanks a lot guys,

Ps Thank you everyone on this site who has helped me with boot problems, and special thanks to Chainfire!

A google of "android root apps" gives numerous lists.
Without knowing which custom ROMs you've tried, why they didn't work for you and how you use your phone, it's very difficult to recommend you anything.
You rooted thanks to doing your research and reading here, the same method will help you with installation queries etc. Check the links in my sig.
This thread is a good one if you're wanting to freeze/remove 'bloat' from your phone (I recommend freezing rather than uninstalling outright) using Titanium.
thanks a lot guys! deleted loads of bloatware
Oh and i tried the resurrectionv1.0_remix, it was good, but it didnt come with CWM, so i have to unroot then re-root to get everything fixed, as all recovery i tried went mad
So is there any other roms? I've heard DARKYROM is good, but i cant seem to find the best place to dl, and i cant really be bothered if there are some you can recommend
thanks again, sorry but how do i thank you /give your post karma?
No. Many people don't do recommendations for roms/kernels (I don't anyways).
Because everyone's phone is setup differently, everyone uses their phone differently & phones come out of the factory slightly different component-wise. Chances are you wouldn't have the same experience of a rom or kernel than me for those reasons.
Given how easy it is to backup/restore with CWM, I recommend having a look at the threads devoted to different roms in the development forum, usually reading the first page & the last 10/20 will give you a fair guide to the features/pluses/minuses & other users experience with the rom/kernel.
Then try out as many roms as you need to until you find one you like.
Edit to add - Also, this thread is a great source of info for Aus SGS2 users.

best way to get to know your phone is break it few times lol
this is what i did in 1 - 2 months when i bought my SGS2
flash alot of things > play around with tweaks/mods > soft bricked it twice > settled down onto what i found to be best

Look under the sticky threads in Q&A and you should have posted there...
Rooting your phone means that you have full access and control to root of your phone..
You probably won't need it and probably if you are not aware of it can cause risk with no reasons. It's full of thread of bricked phone..
What I mean is that, Rooting process is easy, if you read post as suggested by other users in this thread, but if you are happy with your phone and do not feel any specific need to be solved with root do not do it.
One day you will find an app or a specific thing like "wow I love that modded Rom" which work only with rooting.. and so you will root your phone.
That's what happened to me 2 years ago and here in xda I found always all the answers to my issue!
Have fun with your android!

Rooting Samsung S111go allow easy UMS
Hi Guys
I understand the need to root, but have no idea where to begin.
Apparently i need to root my galaxy s3 in order to make use of the EASY UMS APP.
I cannot sync certain programmes that require mass storage.
This is now my 3rd post, but no one on XDA has replied. I am new to Android, having migrated from windows mobile.
I would really appreciate your feedback.

I had a similar problem.. Connected my Samsung S3 mobile to Samsung Kies installed on my Vista Laptop via the USB cable. On Kies Tools Menu, chose the Firmware upgrade and initialisation option.Took a backup of all data on the phone and proceeded with the upgrade process and it restored the phone back to its factory set options..problem resolved!

I wish I'd put it as he did. Having said that the stickys don't really get non programmers there (and maybe that's the idea). The above two links are not relevant to the sch I535. That was careless! NoobDroid is almost as bad with methods that don't work and Youtubes that frustrate.
I rooted a Droid no problem. The vzw are proving frustrating enough to make me change providers. I might go to SPRINT. I don't like vzw politics much anyway.

just flash latest cfroot with odin here's step by step guide for international galaxy s3 http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s3/
No option to "disable recovery flash"
I just got my brand new Galaxy S3 will Jelly bean and followed the instructions on this site.
Everything went fine and until Step 4
Using the custom recovery flash I installed the clockwork mod from my external SD card.
However the instructions say:
"•Upon exiting your custom recovery to reboot first time, you will be asked if you want to "Disable recovery flash", you MUST select Yes"
The problem is that when I exit to reboot I do not get the option to "Disable recovery flash", The phone just reboots.
I assume the phone recovery flashes when it reboots. How can I tell?
What are my options to continue?
Hi to everyone!
I am new here but I have been on the i9000 forums for the last year and more.
My actual i9000 is quite hacked and I am going to get a i9300 with my phone provider next week.
I would like to understand just a few things to know if I'll be in some quite similar situation of hacking or if the i9300 is in some how different from i9000.
My questions are:
What are the differences between the two forums Galaxy S III Android Development and Galaxy S III Original Android Development ???
How do I go into Download and Recovery mode?
About ROOTING the i9300... Is there some website or Windows app and does that or must I flash something like a new kernel or what?
Is there a way to get some sound improvement for better sound and more volume as it was for i9000 with the Voodoo hack?
Is it possible to flash only a new kernel that gives root privileges, sound improvements and some other cool things? I ask this because I really don't know if I'll go for a complete ROM flashbecause I am a little bit tired in complete hackings
As the phone not bought by my self but related to a phone contract I need to be able to revert back to stock rom/kernel if the phone needs to go back to shop for something, so please tell me where to get stock firmwares and if I need some particular Windows app or know some particular procedure on how to flash.
I hope to have answers from you becuase I really need to understand what is having a i9300 not hacked alot coming from a i9000 that was really hack alot.

Although I am new to Samsung Galaxy S3 I am prepared to work for it. I just don't want to start flashing unstable files. Which is why I thought I would ask here first.
Question
I have just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 and I have rooted it yesterday via Odin and in my apps I can now see CWM V3.60 and SuperSU Now I am looking for some advice please?
What is Cyanogen 10.1? I have been reading about it but don't fully understand? is it for installing Roms that supersedes Samsung software 4.1.2? and is there a safe tutorial you can point me to?
Also I want to get rid of the bloatware on this device can anyone please point me in the right direction of how I go about doing this?
