Rooting XXKG3 (2.3.4) - SuperOneClick won't work - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello people!
As I'm fairly new to the whole android scene I'm having trouble understanding how I'm supposed to re-root my Galaxy S 2 after updating it to the most recent firmware. I do not want to replace the ROM at all as I'm quite content with the stock ROM and want to avoid random force closes/missing features, which is what I got in the last couple of custom ROMs.
I just want it rooted so that I can remove the bloatware Samsung bundle with the phone, and also to customise the usability of the phone (bootscreen, CRT effect, improved/silent camera etc).
However when using SuperOneClick 2.0 Beta 1 to try and root it, I get as far as:
SuperOneClick v2.0.0.0

I have tried search other topics and they mention having to reflash with an unofficial ROM, but not really linking to which one, and I'm not sure if it's retaining the stock ROM in the way I want it to (aka, untouched, just rooted so I can customise it myself).
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

You have to flash at least an insecure kernel for SuperOneClick to work on the SGS2.
You can also flash a kernel that takes care of all the rooting, like CF-Root or maybe even mine
Don't confuse this with flashing a complete custom ROM, it's only the kernel, but that one needs to be flashed in order to root.

Removed my post here as I found a kernal to use when I get home.
Thank you very much for the clarifications given.

lg optimus pro (c660) guide to root

hy
how root the lg optimus pro ?
need a guide thanks
1 º Download this suite of applications that I use (I added the zip original drivers from LG, which, with no specific model for this, worked like a charm):
www.megaupload.com/?d=U3L199Z3
2 Reset the phone manufactures (who have data to backup, use the File maneger Astro, for example), to obtain a clean file system Settings \ Privacy \ Reset factory data;
3 Extract the zip to a folder on your desktop and install the USB drivers, which are in the zip, the folder "USB driver";
4 Connect the phone to pc cable and expect drivers to be installed;
5 º Go to the pc start \ programs \ accessories \ command line;
6 After you open the command line type:
cd \
cd Users
cd (user name in question)
cd Desktop
cd (name of which are powered uncompressed zip files)
cd ADB
and the result is something like: C: \ Users \ (user name) \ Desktop \ Root Maximo LG Pro \ ADB
then enter the following commands:
adb devices (pressenter)
adb shell (press enter, and then the letter of the command line will pass to $)
echo 1> / data / local / lge_adb.conf (press enter)
7 After these commands inserted, turn off and then turn on the phone (very important this step), always with the phone connected by USB;
8 After restarting the phone, go to the folder where the files are downloaded and run the SuperOneClick.exe;
9 Select the method GingerBreak and click "ROOT"
10 When the process finishes (VERY IMPORTANT) make sure you turn off and turn it on again and update the application through the superuser Market.
That's it. Phone with root access.

Hi,
I've tried as you say, and i jammed on the driver installation. Why? On the pack you've posted, there's only a shortcut to the driver file: LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN32AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.2 - Atalho
and when clicking it its giving me a link to something that doesn't exist:
C:\Users\"username"\Desktop\LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN32AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.2.exe
Even so, i'd already had installed the LG software suite and so i've got the driver so i moved to the next steps.
when going to perform the adb shell command (error: device not found), i tried with mass storage mode on and off and msg is always the same.
can you please help me?
thanks for any answer
That guide is so complicated for n00b like me who has never before used Android. The stock rom is awfull anyway, any hope for costum roms on this one?
Hi!!
After running the adb command line and restart the mobile, i've started the super one click, it started rooting and in the end in step 7 he says "Remounting /system with read-write access .... FAILED", what went wrong?
I have the latest drivers for this smart and the latest super one click v.2.1.1
My LG has the 2.3.4 version of android and it's from TMN
Regards
is it possible to unlock it? (for free preferably)

[Q] LG Optimus V Rooting?

I'm new to Android and Rooting, but i've done some research online and it all seems to lead to rooting my phone for best overall android experience.
I've tried watching a few youtube videos and tried doing it following a few tutorials and such but i've just about gotten no where.
I tried using super oneclick and this is what i got.

optimusprimeuy,
You need USB debbuging & Unknown Sources checked
and just follow Moon Shadow's tut.

I'm running into these same issues. I've tried three different rooting method. DoomLord, Petes and the one-click. Nothing seems to working. I've installed the ADB drivers, rebooted, repaired the drivers. debugging and unknown sources is checked. I've tried on my desktop and laptop computer. Nothing seems to work.
This is a DX2
System version = 1.3.418.MB870

several ways to root 2.3.4
the problem with zergrush is it removes apps like maps, so you cannot update to 2.3.5
magic md5 root was made for 2.3.5, but it will work for 2.3.4, just not the fastest option

I am sorry, this method can only work on Android 4.x devices, because it uses a small security gap only available at 4.x android devices...
I was my fault, not to have read that you have 2.3.6
In this case, I will look, if I find something different for you
Kind regards Uwe
I used gingerbreak for my android 2.3 phone. But it wasn't a mtk6575 phone.
Thanks mate
Yes they are bit different stupid phones
none of the method specified could work i thought to do Manual rooting but that requires the TWRP to be ported .that is also failing .
I am keen to know how to root all Android Chinese phones too... I have a Hero H4300 MTK6573 device which I use for learning purposes.

Tablet Z SGP311 - 10.7.A.0.222 Trouble trying to install CyanogenMod and TWRP

Hi, I have a stock Tablet Z on 10.7.A.0.222
I have successfully unlocked the bootloader via instructions on xperia firmware. However I have been unable to root it or install twrp.
I am a complete noob at this but the tablet is running incredibly laggy as stock so want to refresh it. I was using this guide:
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/xperia-tablet-z-cm14-cyanogenmod-14-nougat-7-0-rom/
In that guide I got to 1b which led me to this guide for installing recovery:
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/install-twrp-recovery-android-using-fastboot/
When i try to do step 6 the tablet shuts off and does not go into bootloader mode where I can flash twrp.
Can someone provide direction on what I need to do differently? I have done various searches on this site and I believe there is not a recovery installed in this firmware version or something and that is preventing me from being able to do this step but I am not sure how I get around that.

Below is what I get in the command prompt when doing the steps. When I tried option 4 for new xperia root it did not work...it just hangs here:

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong or what I need to do differently?
I have rooted my phones before and installed different ROMs but something seems to be off here.

forget about root. To install TWRP to FOTA or custom ROM, you don't need it.
Proceed with step 7.

thanks a lot, I did that, got lineage installed, worked fine, then when I followed the directions to install gapps and rebooted it just keeps loading twrp and not to lineage. I tried wiping and starting over and getting the same thing. Is there something I need to do differently? I used gapps arm 7.1 neon 20181118
thanks again

wiping and installing 14.1 did not work, but when i did 15.1 it did. I think I should be set now.
Thanks
