I tried using insecure firmware (KF1 and KF3) and both superoneclick and s2root don't recognize my device even with debugging mode on.
Anyone manage to make it work?
I have tried to start rooting, but supposedly you need kies to work.
My kies constantly tells me "devicemanager.exe has stopped working" when I try to connect it. So until its fixed I can't root it (and no one will help me )
That said, I'veheard rooting is successful, but getting an unlock key has been not so successful.
i used cf-root and now have villianrom 2.1 installed and working. yeah i don't think unlock works yet
rooted and unlocked here...
the conventional rooting methods do not work on the s2, as the poster before me mentioned you have to use CFroot to flash the custom kernel, that will automatically root it, once you have done that you can search for the galaxy s unlock by helroz on the market, and it works... thats how i did mine.

Galaxy S Vibrant had it rooted with 2.1 but now that i have updated to 2.2 wont work. Tried uninstalling Z4mod(RyanZa) installed Astro and reinstalled z4mod (had to use astro to install non store app) Z4mod installed and will open but it gets stuck each time i try to run the perm root. I'm a total noob only rooted originally with the help of my little brother. Problem is the phone is sooooo slow now i can hardly stand it. It needs to be faster liked it better before.
If there is no fix for this how to I go back to the 2.1 so i can re root.
Debugger is checked
error message i get says
"the appllication z4root ( process com.z4mod.z4root) has stopped unexpectedly"
Plug in your USB cable . If you read the debug option it says "Debug mode when USB is connected" . So plug in the USB then run z4root .
If you get stuck, Odin back to stock, then root> then flash any rom you want. In the future use Superoneclick to root, it has less problems.

Previously rooted with out using a computer, was hopping that I could do it the same way.
I have never used odin and i have never flashed my rom....just a noob with a phone that used to be faster...
Please elaborate on flashing a rom i want to learn more i have seen some stuff but really am just a bit scared to try it myself
should i uninstall z4root and try superoneclick instead... as of now phone is just stock with z4root installed but not working.
Try superoneclick

Hello everyone!
I have a rooted galaxy s2 (I see the superuser app on my phone) running android 2.3.4. This is a Bell phone. What I would like to do is unroot the phone, then update it to 2.3.6 or wtv update is available through kies (normal update) and then root it again and unlock it using Galaxy_S unlock so I can use it with Fido.
I have a few questions:
Is it even possible to do this?
Can anyone tell me if this is a good method? how to do it properly? or any better alternative methods?
also, if I use this unlock, is it permanent? or do I have to re-unlock the phone every time I loose root/update firmware
ANY help is appreciated, i'm trying to put all of this together and it's not very easy. I bought the phone rooted...but it's not unlocked (as it doesn't work with fido), needeless to say I have no clue how it was rooted and what was used (or if it even matters).
EXTRA infro: (when I press *#1234#, I get:
PDA: I9100XXKG6
Phone:...XXKG2
CSC:...OXAKG
Tell me 2 things, why do you need 2.3.6 and do you have an app called CWM on your phone? The icon looks like a gear
1. first unlock your phone, it is permanent you do not need to unlock if you flash again.
2. you may not be able to use kies to update as the kernal which kies uses to update was changed when it was rooted.
Do you perfer stock or custom firmware ?
you can get the latest stock firmware and installation guide from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
if you want custom search in Android development forum.
3. you will lose your rooting when you update firmware. All you need to do is reroot your phone it is easy. follow instructions in this thread.

Hi, i have used the process on this website to try to root as well as SuperOneRoot and Vibrant one click root and none of them seem to work!
When i have to go into recovery mode it says E:\ signature verification failed
According to superoneroot my phone is rooted even though it has no superuser. Also, i downloaded a terminal emulator and typed in su and it says permission denied. Furthermore, i downloaded a root checker and tried that and it doesn't seem to work...
After looking on the internets for this problem it seems to have something to do with the update tmobile sent out after there froyo update. But i didn't really understand how to solve the problem...
so, can someone explain to me how to root the phone as of now?
Well... you could flash CWR and then flash a ROM (damn near all of them) that already comes rooted
YouTube a tutorial.

Get vibrant tool box make sure you go on your vibrant and turn on usb debugging, hit root in the program and BAM! (also install drivers if you need to)
The vibrant is the easiest phone to root YouTube it like randomfied said
SuperOneClick
Hey make sure you get the latest version of SuperOneClick, make sure USB Debugging is enabled, and make sure you computer recognizes your vibrant (The best way is to get the drivers from samsung/t-mobile and install them anyway). I have rooted from 2.1 and 2.2 both with SuperOneClick.
Hi,
I have tried rooting my SGS3 after updating to 4.1.2.
I am flashing CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 via ODIN. It says everything has completing successfully and the square turns green....no errors etc.
When i got to the menu, SuperSU is not present. Apps are not able to get root permissions. CWM is installed however.
Has anyone experience this before? Any suggestions?
Thanks.
try cf-autoroot cos i believe the cf-root is not supported anymore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273
It can take multiple attempts for the root to kick in. If you don't see the CF-Root script kick in after using ODIN you need to try again.
The other option is to use the Exynos 4 root exploit APK.
It works for me ive done it 3 times. on 4.1.2 xxelkc
dont try exynos exploit or whatever may break your camera
CF Root 6.4 works .

Hello everyone,
I have the Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 / I9300XXUGMK6 (international version) with Android 4.3 installed (Original Samsung stock ROM). I've decided to root it and flash it with a new ROM. However, since I haven't decided which ROM yet I just want to root it for now, but I just can't manage to do it!
Here's what I did:
I have backed it up, installed all drivers, enabled dev mode and followed this thread, but it seems like I can't root the phone. I tried using Odin 3.07 and 1.85. I tried disabling "auto reboot" and pull the battery, and tried CF-Auto-Root as well.
Looks like the whole process happens exactly as described in those threads, no errors or extra steps happens, however at the end of each process, even when Odin says it's successful, I run Titanium Backup which says the phone is not rooted.
The phone works normally now, so my question is what can be the issue and how can I still root it? I've tried searching for the answer in the forum but to no avail.
Many thanks!
Try installing manually installing superSU from the play store, but cf auto root should have installed a super user app.

SuperSU was indeed installed during rooting, but I have re-installed it (or rather upgraded it) from the Play Store and voila, I now have root access!
Thanks a bunch! Is it something I did? Can i trust installing a new ROM to be safe?
Rooting stock rom is irrelevant to flashing a custom rom, most important is you backup your efs now and follow the instructions exactly.
