Hi there,
I have read quite a few forums/threads/blogs but still haven't found a simple answer.
Basically, I am still using stock rom (Samsung Galaxy S2) and have install many apps. If I do choose to root my device, do I need to reinstall all the applications?
I know I should do a backup before I start anything but if my device hasn't been rooted yet. How can I do a backup?
Appreciate if someone can give some pointers on how I can root without completely removing the existing rom and wiping out all apps that are installed.
Thank you.

Yes.
Besides, rooting will NOT delete anything from the device and it has nothing to do with ROM change, you will keep your current ROM.

It it depends on what version of ROM you have. You will need to use Odin and flash as PDA , xwdd insecure kernel. Then you can run oneclickroot. This will keep your apps.

Two ways. Both keep your apps, settings and data:
1) Flash CF-Root kernel using Odin. (search for the CF-Root thread in the original Android Development section)
2) Flash an insecure kernel using Odin (search for insecure kernel in the Galaxy S 2 section) and then run Superoneclick from your PC while hooked up to the SGS2.
Personally, I went for the CF-Root method as it is easier. You just end up getting the yellow exclamation triangle at boot, which you can remove by either using Odin to flash the stock kernel in again, then running the ClockworkMod app (it is installed by CF-Root) and flash the unzipped CF-Root zImage file back in, OR, you can use a USB jig that you can buy off ebay for a few dollars to remove the exclamation mark.
hey guys,
I have managed to read up quite a bit on rooting my Samsung Galaxy S2.
From what I understand, I would need to install kies(already done) for the usb driver, then install Odin(done) and download the insecure kernel xwkdd(also done) to flash it
It was also mentioned that in order to remove the yellow triangle on boot, I would need to flash the stock kernel and here's where my confusion is.
I am using the Indian version of Galaxy S2 and would really appreciate if I get help on exactly WHICH kernel to choose as a stock kernel for my device. I did see the kernel list, but not too sure whether it is meant for other nations.
My phones specifications are:
Baseband Version: I9100DDKE4
Kernel Version: [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
PDA: I9100XWKF3
PHONE: I9100DDKE4
CSC: I9100ODDKF3
So before I go ahead with rooting, please help me with selecting the correct kernel so that I can join the root world... :-D
Thanks in advance,
Vibes

thx for the info
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
thank you very much. i will browse and see if i can find it in the thread which has the kernel list.
CF-Root is simple and quick. Well, after reading how to get it done.
I'm pretty much in the same boat but I don't know which cf-root to use.. how do I tell?
I'm on kernel version DUKH1
I am new to the android .and bought my first galaxy s2. I will follow the s2 one click root to root my phone. I need to know if I need the same kernal as my device? My original kernal is JPKG5. do I need jpkg5 insecure kernal and then a jpkg5 secure kernal to root my phone? Or can I change my kernal to some other kernal of my choice?
my galaxy s2 gets pretty hot if I play intense games like asphalt or star legends, it even gets hot if I use mobile internet like EDGE (i guess its 2g internet nott sure) and browse the internet. The battery life sucks. I keep wifi, gps off and it last like 7 hours if I use mobile internet. Heard a different kernal might help.
One last question, what is the purpose of titanium backup? Do I get to restore my phones original self back again easily? Like will it unroot itself and return to the original gingerbread rom if I decide to change to cynogenmod? If titanium backup does not do that, then how can I unroot my phone and then get back to my original gingerbread rom?
Thanks alot for your help...

Welcome to Android I am not sure about the kernel. The purpose of TB is that you can backup all your apps and data and if you flash a new custom rom you can use TB to restore all the apps and data. Its a very powerful application. You can always flash the original stock rom downloaded from Intratechs thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278. Then you will have an unrooted phone. Beware of the custom counter!!

If you are international S2 (i9100) user use CF-Root instead SOC:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Dont use CF-Root or SOC if you are AT&T user, there is specific threads on how to root AT&T devices.
CF-Root is 1 step only, this means for a non experienced user like you (as it's your first android device) less chance to screw up something.
Follow carefully the instructions.
Be sure Kies installed but NOT running (kill kies process) because kies block odin = semi bricked phone.
Takes about 30 seconds

im a bit confused, all those stock kernals in that link u gave are kernels and rom? Like if I have cynogenmod rom installed in my fone and then flash my phone again using one of those stock kernels/roms, I would be flashing back from cynogenmod to gingerbread 2.3.3 (JPKG5)?
Also what is the custom counter?

sorry for the multi reply post, dont know how to quote 2 messages in one reply...
Cf-root seems like it will limit me to only one kernel, is it a fact? Is it possible for a gs2 user to use any kernel he desires? because I would like to use a better kernel than jpkg5 but stick to the original gingerbread rom 2.3.3. Then mod it to stop loading the so called bloat somehow using an app. Plus I found cf-root to be a little confusing, can u help me understand this? Cf-root will use the kernel inside the phone and leave it intact plus give me root? Or will cf-root change my kernel permanently?
Thanks for all the trouble everyone, if its ok ill ask more questions if I get stuck, but will try my best to figure it out myself first...thanks again...

If you flash one of those ROMs you will flash from cyanogen to your original. The custom counter counts how many times you flash a custom rom / kernel - it can be a problem if you have to send your phone in for repair. Read more about it.

cf-root is an original kernel with root+cwm inserted. No it dosnt lock you to a single kernel, its just the most easy way to root your phone while keeping your stock rom. When you are rooted you then can flash any kernel or custom rom you want.
You only need to pickup the same (ex: kh3, ki4, kf1 etc..) for the root process, this to have full compatibility during root with the stock rom on your phone, but after successfull root you can flash any kernel/rom for the s2

I will be really thankfull for you responce,and please if i made some mistakes above i am sorry again i am new here
1-root with cf-root for you firmware using Odin.
2-boot into recovery and do a cwm backup or use the cwm app that installs with cf root to do the same.
3-if you want to go back to stock flash the original kernal using Odin and use a download mode jig to reset counter to hide flashing.
4-if you use a custom rom restore backup then do the above step.
You can find plenty of how-to's on any if the above points on this forum or by Googling it.

Ok. To flash the original kernal you will need to get it from the intratech thread. He had them all I think. This will remove the custom kernal and, assuming you are still on stock firmware everything is stock again.
As for the jig, when you flash a non stock kernal, there is a counter which shows when you go into download mode. Samsung put this in to see if you had flashed anything if you return it for warranty. The jig plugs into the phones USB/charging port and clears it so Samsung knows ****. I bought one off eBay for $2 delivered.

I've done a bunch of searching but I can NEVER find a solid answer for my question.
First of all, I have a Samsung Galaxy ace S5830D, as the title says.
My provider is Koodo and I got the phone through 'em.
Basically, all the roms I find are for the Samsung Galaxy ace S5830 (no D). Whenever I search to see if this matters, it seems to with people screwing up their phone trying to use roms for the S5830.
I also can't seem to find any roms specifically for the S5830D.
I have the phone rooted, that was simple enough.
So my question is, will a rom for the S5830 work with my S5830D?
If not, could someone point me to where I COULD find roms for it? because I can't seem to find any.
This is my first phone so I know next to nothing about all this aside from what i've picked up doing searches.
Look into your phone build.prop, if its stated codename as cooper u can flash any custom rom for generic ace. only different is maybe modem, as u need to flash modem only for your region.
If its listed codename as cooperve, u are out of luck because it got different hardware than generic ace.
Hmm, thanks.
I'm looking at my build.prop but i'm not seeing either codename that you said...I think.
ro.build.version.codename=REL
is the only line I see mentioning a codename.
Though I saw "cooper" in this line
ro.build.buildtag=jenkins-
HUDSON_USA_GSM_GB_COOPER-TLS-111
dunno if the first line was relevant, or if that means anything...
Sorry, complete noob at this.
if u see cooper, its the same with generic galaxy ace then. if u see cooperve then its another ace with different hardware than the generic ace.
and i'm sure the s5830d that u got is the same with generic s5830 thus u can flash any custom rom from the generic ace.

Yeeeah apparently not the same as a generic S5830.
After flashing a S5830 rom, my phone would boot, show the samsung logo, then quickly fade to a white screen.
I restored using a backup, and now my phone simply hangs on the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830D logo screen, and does nothing else.
Well then. I guess my question becomes...
how do I fix my phone? lol
Restoring the backup doesn't do much.
EDIT:
Used Odin with Cooper_v1.0.ops and a .tar.md5 to flash it back to stock/base/whatever.
Works now...neeever trying to flash to a rom again. I'll stick to keeping it rooted and that's it...
Anyone know how to flash it using Ubuntu and download mode?

Hello !
There are others of us in that same situation, would be great if you'd post that S5830D "ODIN" file (...tar.md5) !
I'd like some input on whether this is confirmed a different hardware model or if the OP just had a bad flash, missed step, etc.
I've got a S5830D model successfully rooted, carrier unlocked, with CWM installed but leery of going any further after seeing this.
Any input is appreciated

To root this is working perfectly :

First, you need to know what is your objective, what you want.
The best thing will probably be to limit yourself to root only. SuperOneClick will do the job, I use that exact same version to root my sgs and the sga of my girlfriend so it should work fine for you to. There a lot of website that explain step by step how to use it. Not that "one click" is hard. But you need all driver on your pc.
CWM is a custom recovery. It's good to have if you want to be able to flash custom rom or kernel because the stock recovery 3E will always give error and no results. It's why you need Odin to replace it. I used the cwm I link for the sga and it was pretty straight forward. But use it on a gt-S5830 ONLY. I see that you also have a GT-S5360, don't use that recovery on this. Usually the recovery is include in kernel, on sgs each kernel have its own custom recovery and most of them are provided in zip(to flash from recovery) or tar(to flash from odin), which make everything very simple. But I didn't see equivalent on sga yet (but I am new to the ace so that doesn't mean that it's not the same)
I will suggest you to start by only root your device, that gives you the opportunity to use many really cool applications. Get yourself familiar with a good backup software. Then after few weeks /months if you feel comfortable you can go further.
Replacing recovery, kernel and rom can be dangerous. You better be sure to know in which boat you go into.

ok, I think you dont need to flash cwm, just find a pc where you can run superoneclick and your phone should be root. Its all you need for link2sd to work.
You cannot root directly from the recovery 3E, that recovery have a weird signature check that give error on any signed zip I tried (at least its what I have experiment with it). Its why you actually need to do at least 1 step from a pc. But you dont actually need to replace the recovery for what you want, just root it with superoneclick or another method.
I dont have a lot of experience myself with the Ace, so maybe there some other method out there but I dont know them. And my i9000 had the same recovery when I had it and it give my a lot of trouble. superoneclick and a woking odin open all the door without trouble...

I have my moms ace, and was trying to flash the cwm through odin, and it never made any progress at all. I had to unplug it. It now wants me to do a emergency firmware upgrade, but kies wont find it in recovery. What now?

I pm you, do you have ADB setup ? It will probably help to put back your phone in download mode for Odin..

Just got your message, i just made a silly mistake though. Make sure the ops is called cooper_v1.0.ops otherwise Odin will not properly flash the device.
Hi
Thanks for your post...
Any of this rom you posted for the S5830D are Multi-Language?, because the owner need the phone in Spanish.
Silentbob999 said:
Basic guide for root/unlock, etc.
Most important. You need that specific version of Odin and this ops in case of problem:
cooper_v1.0.ops - direct link
Odin-Multi-Downloader-v4.38.exe - direct link
Those link wont be live forever. That phone is not very popular so keep a copy on you pc, dropbox, etc...
Reference only : Odin Multi Downloader with pit and ops files (List of compatible version / phone)
Keep a stock image for you phone somewhere just in case that you want or need to go back stock.
GT-S5830D_TLS_S5830DTLKI4_S5830DTLSKI4_S5830DTLKI4 - S5830D - Koodo / Telus Stock image (pwd is "sampro.pl" if I remember right, or "samfirmware.com")
To root this is working perfectly :
SuperOneClick 2.3.3 - direct link
Then you absolutly need to replace your recovery 3E. that recovery is the reason why everything you flash abort. use this :
Clock Work Mod Recovery v5.0.2.6 Flashable via Odin
Unlock guide (not needed except if you want to change carrier):
Read and fallow those instruction : [TUTORIAL] Unlock Samsung [GT-S5570 / i5500 / Galaxy Ace] , no fla fla, fast and easy.
About compatibility with S5830D and S5830 rom.
I tried those rom recently on a S5830D without any issue:
[ROM] CM7.2-DEMOCRACY FINAL EDITION [22.10.12] [FireKernel OC]
[ROM][DEV] CM9.1 Android 4.0.4 [Update: 26.09.2012]
[[ROM] AOKP-M6 ( Milestone 6 ) [15/9/12] [NimsKernel v.2.1]
I was not able to boot on [ROM] CM7-APOCALYPSE-FINAL [09.07.12] [FireKernel OC] , even if I fallow those instruction, but was not able to boot on stock DTLKI4 neither, so this was probably an issue with my phone (sdcard partionning, init.d.. idk), should normally work too like any other rom...
EDIT : I FORGET DROIDACE & S3 EVOLUTION, 2 rom that worked perfectly on s5830d

I don’t remember for sure. But I can tell you that the rom I currently using have Spanish in the language list:
[Rom][Official CM7 based]Nitrogen [Android UnChained][PSN FireKernel MemMod V3]
This rom have many requirement regarding sd-card partitioning and I would not necessarily recommend it if you not willing to be in a try/fail situation. But I have to say that it’s my favorite over all rom I tried on the Ace.
Also, my opinion had change a little bit since the moment I write this post.
I write what it is bellow this red portion before and it does not fit with my previous statement.
The impression I have that my phone is a lemon is maybe a sign that there some small incompatibility between S5830 and S5830D.
Also the comment about data backup is probably not relevant if it is a “friend” phone and not yours.
The Ace is the phone of my girlfriend and even after all those month it’s still me that using it because I did not find a satisfactory solution.
So this being said, feel free to build your own opinion, experiment some rom or keep your phone like it his stock
I did not find a single rom (not even stock or stock based) that don’t bug completely after some time on the Ace. My Ace is a lemon, it needs factory reset or re-installation once in a while... The Nitrogen rom is the one that work the best on MY phone.
One thing I would add to my previous post is: Don’t rely on CWM as a backup solution. Especially if you are changing of rom. Use a software to backup your app, data, sms, call, etc… Titanium Backup Pro is legendary and it’s working perfectly but there are many other alternative.
Hi,
I just got my Android and happened to Root it with a firmware containing CWM because I really had no clue as to what it was. Now I would want to be able to remove this icon CWM from my phone. I have tried flashing the kernel to no avail. Please help me with a step by step procedure to remove it since I'm absolutely new to Androids. My S2 runs gingerbread 2.3.6. I did check the web but am so confused with all the options provided.
Thanks in advance.

It is strongly recommended to back up stock ROM before u give try to Custom ROM.
*#1234# - Check your Firmware version before u do Rooting and make a note some where
You can use those information to download your STOCK ROM from many website (google them)

Since you are rooted, use any file explorer with root access and delete the cwm manager.apk.
Second option is use root un-installer and uninstall the cwm manager

Simple yes, but you want him to flash whole ROM instead of removing one file.

in some Firmwares CWM is included in system applications, so cant simply uninstall it, you can use Titanium backup application to uninstall system apps,
But before uninstalling better you learn more about Rooting and the functions of this app and other root apps. This is a very usefull app in the rooted and Clockwork mod installed devices, for rebooting into recovery easily, kernel flashing, backing up of the Rom ect..
you can have informations from below sticky thread as well as from my signature links.

I installed CWM to test some custom ROMs on my device. What if for some i reason i have to take my mobile to service center.
Will they charge me (even if my device is under warranty) because i have installed CWM?
Do I really need to remove CWM? If yes, how??
Do you have a 3rd stupid question to ask?

Yes you will need to remove root so flash Sam firmware with mobile Odin and don't root. Now back to stock. :thumbup:
Or send it in and report bk

It would be very helpful if you can provide a link for reference

Thanks for replying andrewwright!! (you too "theunderling"!!:angel
I haven't actually installed CWM yet and came here to clear my this doubt.
Why Sam Firmware (if Sam = Samsung) while my device is XOLO q800? Can I take a backup of my my stock firmware in some way because XOLO is not a popular brand and I won't get much support(stock firmware) over internet.
Also, I read somewhere that particular firmware corrosponds to a particular chipset(mine is MT6589), is it true??
I would really appreciate if you can provide a link for reference where I can read further or otherwise some people will keep yelling here "noob......noob"
