Thank you this is awesome...
FYI Step 1 describes the download method for the i9100. The method on the SGH-I777 is: With the phone powered off, plug in the usb cable while holding the vol up + vol down buttons (but not the power button). At the warning screen, press Volume up to continue into download mode.
BTW, why did you post this in development? Doesn't a guide belong in the general forum?

I agree - it's a guide, no development here in this thread.
Just because the mods let it slide in the Epic 4G Touch forums doesn't mean it's OK here - the E4GT dev forum is a total and complete mess.
But if I am not mistaken the OP did compile a kernel and has posted it in the thread? I thought the video/walkthrough was a bonus?

He did not post a kernel in the OP. There IS a link to a "DownloadAndroidROM.com" page that has a kernel download of his.

Actually, I believe the dude has 2 kernels. The one in referenced in this thread is a stock with CWM and Rooted (GalaxyS2ATTRootZedomax.zip), and his other kernel thread is the 1.6 OC one (GalaxyS2ATT-ZedomaxOCv1.zip).

I'm not trying to start a flame war with anyone, just saying the guy is entitled to share his stuff like everyone else and like always, flash everything and pick the one you like best!
To the OP -- just a suggestion, but maybe to avoid confusion you may want to take the tag [GUIDE] out of the title so that folks know what this is.
Maybe call it something like:
[KERNEL] Zedomax Stock Kernel with Root - Video Instructions Included
Just my $0.02
Thanks to Zedo *tips hat*
Z - thanks to you i picked up root with like .. 2 clicks what. Great work! Super happy to have folk like yourself apart of the community!
Cheers!
as an aside - CM7 v1.0 Rules! =)
which slot do we drop the .tar file to in ODIN? sorry been a while since ive used it since ive been on an HTC device.
EDIT: NVM. just watched the video.
Just ran through the steps as described and while I did get Superuser and the custom kernel, I still have the stock recovery with Odin download mode when I hold both volume keys and power.
[EDIT] Just realized that I probably didn't pull my USB cable out when trying to get to CWM the first time after rooting. I installed ROM Manager from the Market and flashed from the app and I can now get to CWM from the button combo no problem.
Don't don't don't use CWM through rom manager.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but last I knew it is still known to cause problems.
ROM Manager=NOT YET!

Oh really, no Rom Manager? Don't mean to muck up the thread, but is it safe to use the CWM flash that I did from the app as long as I get to it from the button combo? Also, if you have a link as to what kind of issues this causes I'd appreciate it.

from the sticky in the general section. i'm no dev and i'm sure there is a bunch more out there, but this seems to be a common one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288112
Getting "E: Signature Verification Failed" in CWM?
One of two things happened:
1) You used ROM Manager even though it is listed in BIG RED LETTERS above. In which case flash codeworkx kernel and this time DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER.
2) Go into CWM click Install Zip from SDCARD>Toggle Signature Verification. Should see "Signature Check: Disabled". If it says "Enabled" then try reflashing kernel in Odin again.
Seems to have worked for me. How do I add the custom roms with this? Thanks again btw, this was super easy.

I see that by flashing the stock firmware that Entrophy posted in the dev section will put the phone back to stock removing the triangle. (Phone is being returned soon)
What if I flash the pre rooted stock firmware also offered by entrophy? Will the flash counter detect the root and throw the yellow triangle as well?
Also am I even accurate with my first paragraph? If I flash the totally stock firmware with Odin will my triangle go away?

Buy a jig. It's $8.
Use it every time you use download mode, and you'll never get a triangle ever.

Yes seriously.
No need to be rude. You contribute a lot to this forum but that doesn't mean you need to be rude and annoyed with other members.
If you look at your 'highlighted' posts from the main general section you can see that you have highlighted my own thread first of all, second of all the FAQ which isn't visibly from the xda app, which is what I use.
Third you can see that I at least read the thread of how to circumvent the flash counter as I mentioned it in the OP. After reading said thread I couldn't come up with an answer myself which is why I reposted.
Do you think I enjoy posting for no reason? I would much rather find the info myself.
Either way thank you for taking the time to set me straight.

Blindly flashing bootloaders willy-nilly is a great way to hardbrick!
As to your latest post - I know I highlighted it. I was pointing out the fact that it was within easy view of not one but TWO locations with your answer.
Your question was answered easily in two existing threads, easily visible. Yet you decided you were so special and important that you had to create an entire new thread for your question (which already averages 3-4 new threads per day when it should average ZERO due to being answered in multiple places, pushing the guide lower down from the first page, making it harder for people to find the answers.
Stickies not being visible from apps is not an excuse.
It IS visible from forum reader apps. Hell, stickies are MORE visible as they get their own tab in the app instead of just an icon next to the thread. I just checked on my phone
Just because you're using a deficient method of accessing these forums because you're too lazy to wait, sit down at a PC, and do some reading doesn't give you the right to clutter them up for people who actually try to do some research

A ROM is not the same as bootloaders.
Screw boot.bin and sbl.bin up and your phone is done, unless you're willing to open it up and flash directly into the motherboard.

Yes but many roms come with bootloaders so flashing a euro rom will flash a euro bootloader.

CWM is outdated for you, maybe because you are using an old firmware.
flash CF-ROOT with your corresponding firmware version, then flash a custom rom. all new roms, often comes with CWM and is updated.

I checked all the CF root forum, but problem was still as it was on the beginning. I found one helpful thing Clock Recovery is not going well with installed ROM manager.
I just installed original ROM from Samsung, russian region. And root device again. That's it.

and it happens on most of the roms i use every once in a while​
I'll be honest, i'm not clued up on kernel panic & upload mode. i read that it is a fatal error on the operating system just wondered if when you were changing roms, you flashed a different kernel too, or if it just that kernel you've been having trouble with (you can see where i'm going here) have you tried using a different kernel?
Had a read around and it seems that flashing a stock firmware and factory reset should sort this out for you and stop it happening again

Yeah, to be honest a clean start is the best solution to many problems, might seem drastic, but if you are well backed up and sorted then it really doesn't take long. You can spend ages trying to work out what causes a problem, or just be a competent flasher and just accept that when problems do accumulate a clean start is usually the quickest....but that's just my opinion

I completely agree, cant go wrong with a clean stock rom every now and then! Odin scared me at first (SGS2) but after that, i only ever panic if it takes over a minute or so!
Good advice as usual Slaphead20 :good:
[EDIT] Me saying good advice and a thumbs up looks silly when you have nearly 10,000 posts to my 200! LOL

So do u mean a clean Stock rom installation is to install a rom with 3 files including a .pit file ???
or the typical Rom installation???

Just a plain old Odin flashable stock Rom, no reason to use a pit at all...last resort that is! Just get latest for your region and flash, you might need to do a factory reset after, so if you can, back up first including internal sd as a factory reset from stock recovery will wipe that also

Just in case you wasn't aware, i had to post
Ok so i had my phone rooted like 2 years ago (when everythign was striaght forward and i used my model number and odin and jsut did it) now there are all these super root one click herdmial wtf is going on programs. I just want to root my phone because i soft bricked it. I want ot be back on CM nightlies, and most of all i want to sim unlock.
Yes I know I am a noob but I have put in a solid 6 hours of searching, which is ****ing stupid because one forum member here is going to be able to link me the eact rom and kernal i need in 3 seconds.
My model number when i go to information is
4.1.2
I9100MUGMA5
JZO54K.I9100MUGMA5
when i take the battry out of the phone the FFC is like Alg3? I think if you need that I will reply asap.
TLR I am to stupid to use google, its been 6 hours and google is making me rage.
PPS I can upload a screen shot of my desktop right now with about 500 ****ing winzip files just to find the right one.

Ok so I flashed seriyah kernal. I failed to write "Complete(Write) operation failed." in odin and then it said to reccont to kies and because of osmehting blah blah but i just relfahsed and now it is working fine again (4.1.2). but the problem still persists of me not being able ot flash seriyah.
Killed kies applications before you flashed?
Sent from the little guy
I just can't understand why people ask for the exact file to flash, instead of trying to find out for themselves.
From what I see, its not that hard to find what ur looking for, unless ur too lazy to go through all the search results! And you can always double check with other members on whether ur doing stuff right or not.
If someone suggests you flash something, and you do it without knowing why or how, ur back to where u were before asking.
Believe me, the fun is all about learning what ur doing and why ur doing it. So after u have solved ur issue, u have not just helped ur device, u have helped urself too..
Just my 2 cents..

This link should help, it gives a step by step guide: http://galaxys2root.com/category/galaxy-s2-root/
Using search button "root sgs2 4.1.2" . U should watch for a kernel
Send from my SGS2 I9100 with HassanROM and latest DorimanX 8.xx kernel
Word of advice....don't go offsite for rooting methods....other sites get their info here, and if not, it probably shouldn't be trusted anyway.
And for rooting....visit the PhilZ thread....search the thread for the kernel that matches your firmware and download the ZIP version. This can be flashed in the stock recovery....without Odin. ....
Not sure how? Search function will help......
