I have just used S2 Root, I pressed the "Root Device" Button
and the log tells me:
Checking Device Connection...
Device Connected!
Restarting ADB Server...
Checking ROOT Access...
Device Already Has PERM ROOT Permissions! Aborting...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What should I do? It is stuck like that for about half an hour already...
It says that it is already rooted
But it is not...
I used Odin to put an insecure kernel
and once i try to use S2 Root I have this error.
I try to use Titanium Backup for example and it says I dont have root permissions.
Hmmm.. Did you had the phone on? I mean, like not in download mode. Just turn on like normal?
step 1. Go to a proper root guide
step 2. flash cf kernel
step 3. profit?

The insecure cf-root kernel already rooted the device, no need to use s2 root or anything else.

Yes, I had the phone turned on
And even if I don't use S2 Root It says I don't have root privileges in Titanium Backup
Do you have an app called "superuser"? If not you have to download it from Market and download Busybox from Market too.
Hope it works.

I tried to root my new Samsung Galaxy S II today using the instructions in the CF-Root thread and in the videos provided by this guy on youtube.
I was nearly across the finish line, but when I click the big "Root" button on SuperOneClick, it freezes at "Running psneuter" and won't go any further or shut down (without Task Manager intervention).
I've tried leaving it for > 10 mins, turning off all antivirus and I've tried 2 different superoneclick versions (1.9.1 and 1.7) to no avail. Edit Tried GingerBreak via SuperOneClick also and that freezes at "Running GingerBreak".
Because of this, I'm pretty sure my root isn't going through properly. Mainly because when I check if my phone is rooted properly I can't get su access in shell.
Any ideas/thoughts about what to do?

You're telling me it already is rooted?
5. After the phone reboots go to:
Code:
settings > Applications > Developmentand put a tick in USB debugging if it's not already ticked.
Do I need to do this step: I didn't see it on the video guide at this topic:

Hi mate, I have the same problem as the other guy. So is my already auto-rooted or something? What do I do now if yeah?
Hi
My Samsung Galaxy SII cannot be accessed via its USB slot. I am able to recharge the phone over USB but that is all. Basically it got wet (very wet) and after much salvaging I managed to get USB recharging functionality back but lost USB data access.
My question. Is there anyway that I can root my phone without using USB.
Details:
Android version: 2.3.3
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE2
Baseband version: I9100XXKDJ
I have tried using Gingerbreak (which I got onto the phone via AirDroid) but this isnt working for me.
I cannot use Odin or ADB because of my USB problem.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Many thanks!
John
Use wireless adb to install the zergrush root
or I saw something on the front page of xda about a mobile odin version that you could use right on the phone
edit I just actually read more on the movile odin and you need a CWM5 kernel so you will have to use the wireless adb for zergrush first then dd a rooted kernel in place manually then you will have CWM installed fine.

Many many many thanks!!
I have re-read the wireless ADB description. When I first looked at this I thought that I first needed to be root to install it! But now I see that that is not the case.
So with wireless ADB I should be able to manually root my phone.
Brilliant. Thanks!

Currently there is no way you could achieve root without having a working USB port.

If you use the EverRoot option (Market/Pro version only), Mobile ODIN will root the firmware while you flash it.
Yes i am misreading above as to will root and or will root on the fly >>as it roots an unrooted phone .

I have downloaded mobile Odin Pro and tried running it.
"Mobile ODIN - Error
SuperUser access is needed, but could not be acquired.
Are you rooted and did you give permission?"
To which I can only press OK.
So I dont have access to "EverRoot".
It was worth a shot though! And I will be using it at some point once I gain root....
Cheers

Have you tried the Zergrush root method via wireless adb yet?
Note it will only give root without any custom kernel or recovery. But you can then use adb again to dd the cf-root kernel into place manually and after a reboot recovery will be installed and available.

I have installed adbWireless and am reading up on zergrush and cf-root kernel at the moment. Havent got wifi access here so will need to wait until later to try this out.
Looking for the exact dd command at the moment.

The command should be
dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
Just place the uncompressed zImage file in the base of the sdcard

Forgot to mention just in case that before that you have to do a "su" and authorize it on the phone screen to have permission to do that command.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Oh. My. God.
Well that just saved me a whole heap of pain.
I hadnt realised usb debugging knocked out MTP. Or that I had it turned on.
Thank you sir!

It could be possible that the binary of SU is not updated. try downloading superSU in google store to see what happens.
If that will not work, yes you can root gain your phone using CF root kernel then try flashing another kernel like siyah, speedmod etc.
HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPS YOU IN ANYWAY!!!
once i had the same problem.. try the latest version of cf-root ..hope that solves ur problem...

Hello guys
First of all, I'm sorry to bump an old thread. But I guess it would be better than making a new one
I got my SGS2 from my sister few days ago and I tried to root it. After I did everything instructed by all tutorials I've read, I still can't use CWM Manager. It said just like above posts.
What I did:
1. Root the phone (already tried with 2 different kernels, the LP7s)
2. Open the SuperUser app. The app didn't give any options when I first opened it (like some tutorials do), it only gave 'Okay' to click.
3. Open CWM Manager and you all know the rest
4. Tried to install SU Updater fixer, but the app told me that there are no problems detected.
Then, I found out that I also had a problem connecting to wifi after I root (stuck in obtaining IP address). I didn't have the problem when first I use the device from my sister.
Waiting for your kindly replies. Thank you in advance

Is my phone already being rooted? Why I can't open CWM manager app? How do I fix the wifi problem?

Just to confirm, you have the i9100? Not the i9100G or US TMobile or AT&T SGS2?

try changing the kernel and see, u can try Siyah latest 3.3.2 and check
ps- please make a nandroid bkp of ur exsisting rom in, case u face any issues u can rewert back
Did you root using CF-root?
If not, install the stock firmware if you arent on it, and use odin to install CF-root.

Wifi problem solved when I use Siyah kernel, but the CWM app still showing the same. Everything went well from CWM Recovery mode though. Thx for your replies
This is my first post here and i'll admit i'm a noob so forgive my ignorance
i am having a problem with my rooted galaxy S2 I9100 i have root and it's been working fine for a long time on lightening rom but now titanium backup says i don't have root and no longer works.
Superuser is up to the latest version but also clockwork mod recovery is saying my kernel is unknown and will no longer boot into recovery. Have i lost root somehow?
Superuser says i have root but titanium and CWM say otherwise.
Any advice on how to solve this would be great thanks

If you still have root, use Root Browser, go into system/app, remove Superuser.apk, then /system/bin and remove su. Reboot and you should be unrooted.

well you could use superoneclick.... you just turn on USB debugging connect it to the computer/laptop open up superoneclick and press unroot... just make sure to disable samsung kies if you have it and antivirus it could interfere with the procces and it will take like 5 min to finish
I believe it is because the stock rom you used to flash back was already rooted. Most of the time they are. But do what the others have said if you want to unroot the device. I prefer the superoneclick method. But why would you want to unroot? It's a lot better rooted just saying.
