I did the Superoneclick as well and when I had the yellow triangle, you need a usb jig to get rid of it, but when I had the symbol my phone said SGS2 i9100 above the yellow triangle. The Yellow Triangle is just a counter on the phone from flashing a non stock kernel, the jig resets and it will say Samsung Galaxy S2 i777 again once it counter is reset. Just make sure when you buy one that it states for at least an sgs 2 i9100 *the one I bought from ebay said* and it will work.
HTH,

Well thanks ... but I am a little worried about my Tom's and kernels..... I have no idea what they are but in the thread above he followed some steps to get his roms and kernels straightened out if I got of right.... but I have no idea what he is talking abt so how do I know if my rom and kernel are how they are supposed to be? And how do I fix them....? I feel like going back to factory firmware ( compleetely stock and then rooting again the right way...) please help me.....

It's possible to get rid of the !/I9100 screen without a jig... Workarounds are linked from the first post of the FAQ.
Even if you have a kernel designed for our device, it will put up the I9100 screen if the last kernel flashed with Odin/Heimdall was something other than stock.
well i got that .... please verify what i am going to do before i sctually begin and mess up
1. Download The kernel + rooted system package from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 (Does this also install busybox)
2. use Odin to flash it from download mode.
3.now this is the part i dont get in ur post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18238883&postcount=106

You may need to add "su" between "adb shell" and "dd" when on a stock kernel with rooted system.
Then always flash using CWM or the method above from then on.
Since i am a newbie, can u briefly tell me the steps i would do this... please? I really appreciate ur help.

After you complete items 1 & 2 above, you will have returned the phone to stock, just like it was after it came out of the box, except it will also be rooted. If that is all you wanted to do, you can stop there. At this point, the yellow triangle will be gone, and the i9100 boot screen will be gone.
If you want to modify the phone further, you will need to add a kernel with clockwork mod recovery. However, if you flash a non-stock kernel with odin, the yellow triangle and i9100 boot screen will return. (I guess that's essentially what you did in the first place.) The method in item 3 above describes how to add a kernel without flashing in odin. You can actually do this one of two ways. 1) Using your pc, install the Android SDK, which will install adb.exe on you pc. (adb = android debug bridge). Then you can use adb from your pc to add the kernel to you phone over a usb connection. 2) From you phone, using Android Terminal Emulator. You can transfer the kernel image to your phone with usb, then use the terminal to add the kernel to your phone.
The advantage of adding a custom kernel is to make the phone run better, and to gain clockwork mod recovery. To educate yourself, you should read through Entropy512's Daily Driver kernel thread.
If you want to customize your phone further with a custom rom, you can flash anything from clockwork mod recovery without causing the yellow triangle or incrementing the flash counter.
Hope this makes things a little clearer. If you want to use adb or a terminal, you should be able to find lots of instructions in this forum, as well as elsewhere.

Wow thank you soo much thats exactly what i was looking for....that makes things a lot clear u have no idea...lol. What if i want to add themes and new boot screens in my phone would i still need to put clockworkmod ? what is the difference between the clockworkmod kernel and the entropy kernel? and finally wouldn't i just be able to flash the clockworkmod recovery from ROM manager? i also read on the faq not to use ROM Manager but that is how i boot into recovery so idk what to do. And would i be able to do this and still retain my apps, settings, my data and my unlock that i currently have?

Do NOT use rom manager on this phone. Clockwork Mod Recovery is built into the kernel. It is built into Entropy's Daily Driver kernels, and probably every custom kernel.
To enter clockwork mod recovery when you have a cwm kernel installed, just boot into recovery with the three button method.
Themes are usually added with cwm. Custom boot screen is done with a bootanimation.zip that is copied into the boot directory. Entropy's kernels also have boot animation support.
thanks i am going to do step 1 , 2 and then put entropy's kernel via adb.... but i didnt find any instructions on how to use adb to flash a kernel...
Download the kernel package and extract the zImage from it. After you install the SDK, put the zImage in the same directory as adb. Then run the commands in Entropy's post.
I suggest you read up on ADB first, so you have an understanding of the complete process.

codeworkx's goal with his CWM kernel was basically a "reference" kernel, as close to stock as possible but with CWM as far as I can tell.
Mine includes his CWM, but includes other features, look at my thread for details.
BTW, for some people, Droid Explorer happens to be an easy way to get adb working on Windows. I can't really provide any help beyond this as I'm a Linux user.

it gave me permission denied
I searched for this but i found differenct phones not galaxy s 2 i777...Please help
anyone have a solution for permission denied.... i did go into terminal emulator and put in:
su
dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block.mmcblk0p5

Reboot and run CPU Spy. If the [email protected] for the build machine was [email protected], it's mine.
Access denied means you need root access. In adb shell you enter su and the prompt will change from $ to #. Then enter the dd command.
If you used terminal emulator you have to have the zImage on the root of the sd card or it won't work.

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.

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!

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....

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.

The command should be

Hi!
This kernel enables custom boot animations (/system/media/sanim.zip), adb root, init.d support, runs a script to auto-root your /system partition, and then you're on your merry way
You may need the USB Drivers available here. (Support & Downloads for SGH-I717)
Once the USB Drivers are installed, power off the phone, then hold volume down and power it on, you'll get a screen asking you to hit vol up to continue, do so. This puts the phone in download mode.
Stick the provided pda.tar in the PDA box of Odin3 1.85, flash away!
Install Superuser from the market after booting.
Note that this will increase your flash counter, which is presumably used by Samsung as a reason to decline warranty service (not aware of any reports of this occuring yet...?)

What does increasing a flash counter do? Forgive a noob.
@SPtheALIEN: Replied in first post.
CF-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root.
Donate
CF-Root has been available for many devices and has clocked over 16 million downloads. This is not even counting custom ROMs that already include it. Don't be a leech, buy me a beer (and use the "Thanks" button!). Imagine if every CF-Root user has donated me $1...
What's installed
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Nothing else, that's it.
Installation and usage
- Download the ZIP file (see post below for link)
- Extract the ZIP file
- Boot your device in bootloader/fastboot mode. Usually this can be done by turning your device off, then holding VolDown+Power to turn it on.
- Connect your device to your computer using USB
- Windows:
--- Run root-windows.bat
- Linux
--- chmod +x root-linux.sh
--- Run root-linux.sh
- Mac OS X
--- chmod +x root-mac.sh
--- Run root-mac.sh
- Follow the on-screen instructions - watch both the computer and the device !
Note that if your device had not been unlocked before, this procedure will wipe all your data !
Are you having fastboot driver issues? You can find fastboot drivers in many places, but the easiest way is probably just installing the Android SDK.
Did you see the red Android logo during rooting, but SuperSU does not appear? This may sometimes occur due to left-over files and settings, however, you can usually install SuperSU from Google Play at this stage and it'll just work.
Not included - adbd Insecure
As this CF-Root does not include a custom kernel, adb shell does not have root access by default (you can still get it by typing su inside the shell), nor is adb remount supported, nor will adb push and adb pull work on system files. adbd Insecure can be used to remedy this situation. (No idea what this is about ? Don't worry about it !)

Yes, you will get OTA
BTW, you will get OTA's also with custom recovery like CWM, but you cannot install it via custom recovery. For that you need Stock recovery

Thats not true... I got the 4.3.1 update for my deb and had root+twrp. After hit install it boot to twrp and installs the ota after boot up root is still there. No Problems here
Great that it works fine for you!
But that will work not for all customers. Some reported that after they recived and downloaded the OTA they got an error while installation in custom recovery.
I rooted my Nexus 7c LTE..
now i can see an unlock logo in startup... anywhere i can remove it?

No, that's normal for unlocked bootloader. Only not shown when you close the bootloader again.
Thank you!
any idea how to close the bootloader?

I have an Samsung galaxy trend plus GT-7580, Europian version. (sorry my english) and I want it to be rooted. Is there any guide to how to root this phone?
I have an GT-7580 galaxy trend plus, european too.
I confirm root with Kingo root: easy, functional and secure!
Search kingo root, download the windows program, active the "USB Debugging" on the developpers mode (activate this menu in Setting -> More -> About Device -> 5 or 6 clicks at BUILD NUMBER), install and run the program with the phone connected....et voilà!

But wasn't that program banned from xda, because it install some nasty malware?
I used VRoot to root mine. Found out about it randomly (someone said they managed to root a phone with it) and, luckily, it was compatible with the S7580 as well.
I'm waiting for some custom roms now.

I used the vroot. It seem legit. And I strip off alot of bloatware. plus I removed the vroot own su with the normal su.
Same here. I'm not sure how much of the rumors were true (about vRoot being malware and all that), but it helped me a bunch when there were no other alternatives. The support for S7580 is very limited at the moment and it was difficult to find even a way to root it.
All in all, I'm happy with it. Same as you HenryStar, I removed a bunch of stock crap I wasn't using and replaced the chinese SU app with SuperSU. So far so good; can't wait for people to start taking an interest in this phone so we can have some alternatives to the stock rom.
By the way, did you manage to install any recovery on it?
i have that phone to...lets hope that they will make a treath for trend plus..lets see...so we rooted the phone..wath did u make overclock?? or something to him?
I don't usually overclock my phones. Besides, the S7580 is rather snappy and I'm not sure the minimal improvement is worth the extra stress on the CPU.
Still waiting and hoping for a separate section for it.
Sorry if I was late with my answer and no, I tried to install custom recovery. I gonna test this so I can get an custom recovery on this phone in the futher.

I was inside the root system folder to find recovery.img, I dont find it, because I wont to flash with an custom android 3e recovery, so I can get clockwork mod recovery on this phone. If any have rooted this phone, let me know where did u find the original recovery.img
pfff...that is a awsome news...lets hope more people will be interested to do more for this phone..

Extract recovery img:
For ADB:
connect phone via usb(make sure usb debugging is connected).
Start ADB
from windows:
Click Start
Run -> Cmd.exe
type "adb shell"(without quotations)
from ubuntu:
Press Ctrl+alt+t(or open the terminal)
type "./adb shell"(without quotations)
when in the shell type "su"(without quotations)
On your phone a dialogue window will appear asking for permission to grant superuser. Click yes!!
now type "cat /proc/mtd"(without quotations)
A list of partitions(or w/e they are) should appear, you're looking for the one called "recovery". Mine is labeled mt8, I assume this is the same for you, but I could be wrong. For your phone's sake let's just make sure we're certain!!!
now in the shell type:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd8 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
your recovery.img should now be on the root of your sdcard
CWM RECOVERY soon...
