Did you get a new SGS II? And you want it rooted, but without loosing your factory warranty, or even getting the yellow triangle? Then you're lucky if you are reading this post. All you need, is a few things.
First you need a computer(which is pretty obvious, isn't it?)
Preferably a windows computer, but I can help you, if you've got a mac, aswell.
So, now you've made sure, that you've got these things, let's carry on with the tutorial...
You need Kies (which you use to transfer files, and contacts, to/from your computer and back...) and the android SDK*. If you haven't got these programs, then click on the links below...
Go to: developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (<-Download the SDK.zip)
Just extract the ZIP to your desktop, what you'll need will come in a second...
Now, for all you windows users;
Once you have extracted the SDK_zip to the desktop(or where ever you want to) click on sdk manager.exe, and download everything from google, and download the sdk-tools for your Android version (eg. 2.2, 2.3.x or 4.0.x) once you have downloaded all these tools, close the SDK* manager, and open the folder "Platform-Tools" in here, you wil find some files called "ADB", and two other files, called WinApi. Take these, and copy these into C:\Windows\System32\
Once you have done this, we can carry on...
(On your keyboard) press (and hold) Windows + R. Once the Run dialog has opened, you can release the keys.
Type in the Textbox cmd.exe and hit enter. In the command prompt (cmd) type in this command. "Adb" if some text appears, you have correctly installed ADB* on to your computer. You can now plug your SGS II in, and wait fir windows to determine the device and start installing additional drivers. Make sure you have set your device to allow USB debugging! (Now you can drink a cuppa coffee, and wait for about 5 minutes.)
Once this has been done, type in (in cmd) this command: adb devices And hit enter. If a set of numbers and letters appear(in hexadecimal order) and the word "Device" is written behind the hexadecimal* code, then you are ready to root!
Now for the rooting, itself. (If you want permanent root, skip this part, if you just want temporary root-permissions, then read this.)
First( to make sure that, if you break something in the OS*-Partition, you can repair your device(without flashing) type in the backup command: adb backup C:\MyAndroidBackup.ab -apk -system -shared -all
Check your phone, this is needed,incase you are prompted for permission. Once the backup is done, type in the following command, to gain root access.
Type in the command prompt-window " adb root"
Now, for permanent root access;
Type in the command prompt-window: adb backup -apk -system -shared -all
Check your phone, to see if you are prompted for permission... Wait for the backup to finish. Once it is done, type in the following command, to set your phone, into a type of "Download mode": adb remount
Now, you need to download the files beneath... (Superuser and BusyBox)
Download these files to your C Drive. Now, type in this command,: adb push C:\Superuser-1.apk /system/app
And again: adb push C:\stericson.busybox.apk system/app
Once you have done this, you should be able to use them, after one reboot. So, we will do a quick reboot. This installs the applications, and gets you one step further to being a "legal" root user! To do a reboot, type in: adb reboot
After your device has rebooted, and is ready-to-use, go to your app-drawer, and look for the apps: "Super User" and "BusyBox installer". If you have found these, then you have done the first steps correctly!
Now, type in the Command-Prompt Window: adb devices. And it should say the same hexadecimal code, with the caption "Device" next to it. If it says this, then type in the final command, to gain root access.: adb root
Once you have typed in the command above, you are an official root user!
I do not take responsibility if you break your device! I would gladly help you, but don't make me responsible. And just because I'm new here doesn't mean I'm completely new to android development/ rooting etc. .
If you found, that my tutorial was good, then please thanks me. If you have any ~questions, then please ask! If you have concerns, please let me know! Screenshots and video tutorial are following. I'm still looking for a way to do this on a mac, and I have yet only found one way. But we'll get to that in another thread, once I've proven it's effectiveness. Have a nice day, and have fun rooting!
P.S This works on nearly every android device!
Edit: P.S I forgot to mention =, what the stared words mean. SDK: Software Development Kit
ADB: Android Debugging Bridge
Hexadecimal: A string of combined letters and numbers.

familyguy59,
I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, but "adb backup" requires ICS so, that and the fact this thread is redundant, I'm closing it.
Thanks

in modaco it is already included, with normal rom it works (tested and using it)
that is just a proof that it is working in the new release, but how could it be installed without flashing to modaco?
maybe by reading this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4545215&postcount=7
yeah,...thanks... but as i said this method is not working with the new rom...
i figured out how to install it on the new rom!!!
as i said i have allready rooted it with this tutorial
Flashrec
so i had the cm-hero-recovery.img on my phone again
i restarted the phone holding POWER+HOME (not power+back)
then i typed in the following commands into the cmd (be sure that you have the Jbed.apk & libjbedvm.so in your android sdk tools folder)
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb push Jbed.apk /system/app
adb push libjbedvm.so /system/lib
adb shell reboot
and after the reboot there it should be, i hope i could help someone with the same problem
Worked perfectly ginchiller ty
Is there a way to fullscreen mode?
I have installed the new opera mini but it has bugs with landscape.
Without landscape its ok but I want it in fullscreen...
for those j2me apps i tried yet, fullscreen works perfectly
How to install applications? When i run jbed i see sdcard folder. What i have to do?
close jbed, open a file browser, goto the folder where you stored the java-program (*.jar) and open/execute it with jbed (just open it, normally after a successful installation of jbed, jbed will pop up)
ohh, i will try another file manager because when i tap on .jar file in SUBFS its try to extract files not execute)))
Keep in mind this is experimental and not exactly publicized as a feature of ICS, so don't count on this as your only method of backup!
This guide assumes you have already installed the Android SDK, and updated the Android SDK Platform Tools to the latest version (currently Rev 10) using the SDK Manager.
1. Connect your device via USB, and open a command prompt.
2. Optionally, type the command 'adb devices' to ensure that your device is properly recognized. If you're comfortable with ADB already, just skip this.
There is a command, 'adb backup' (to be detailed shortly), that will now allow you to create a full system backup.
The command parameters format is:
The most basic command you can use* is simply:
This will use the defaults to backup only app and device data (not the APKs themselves) to the current directory as 'backup.ab'
* This may not work for every setup. If you get an error such as "adb: cannot open file ./backup.ab", use:
Or substitute the path of your choice in place of C:\.
To explain the parameters:
Use this to choose where the backup file will be stored, e.g. '-f /backup/mybackup.ab', which will save it at the root of your drive (C:\ for Windows, etc.) in a folder called backup, as a file named 'mybackup.ab'. I recommend using this flag to set a location manually, as with my first backup test, it said that it completed successfully, but I was unable to locate the backup file. I have no idea where it was saved, but it wasn't where it should have been located.
This flags whether or not the APKs should be included in the backup or just the apps' respective data. I personally use -apk just in case the app isn't available in the Market, so that I don't have to go hunt it down again. The default is -noapk.
This flag is used to "enable/disable backup of the device's shared storage / SD card contents; the default is noshared.", which for the Nexus I would certainly flag to -shared, but from my test, it did not restore all of the contents of my internal storage, so I recommend backing up music, pictures, video, and other internal storage items manually, just to be on the safe side. The default is -noshared.
This flag is just an easy way to say to backup ALL apps. The packages flag (further on) can be used to choose individual packages, but unless you're just wanting to backup a specific application, use -all for a full system backup.
This flag sets whether or not the -all flag also includes system applications or not. I used -system, but this is probably unnecessary, and I would almost guess that it is safer to use -nosystem, but use your own judgment on this. The default is -system.
Here you can list the package names (e.g. com.google.android.apps.plus) specifically that you would like to backup. Use this only if you're looking to backup a specific application.
3. Once you've made your decision on how to perform the backup, simply type the command as you would like it; in my case, this is the command that I used:
4. You will see a screen like the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5. Enter a password (if desired) for encryption of the backup file. RETAIN THIS PASSWORD FOR RESTORING LATER.
6. This process will take several minutes to complete, depending on the settings you've chosen, but when completed, you will get a toast on-screen saying 'Backup Complete', or if you miss that, you'll know once your phone returns to the home screen.
7. Now go unlock your bootloader (not going to go into the process for this guide, but you probably know how already, and if not, there are several guides a search away).
8. Once you're booted back into Android, you can choose to add your account now, or skip that for later. I skipped it for later, but I think it might make the process more smooth to sign in before the restore. YMMV.
9. To restore, with your device connected open your command prompt again, and type:
replacing 'C:\backup20111230.ab' with the location of your backup file.
10. You will see a screen like the one below:
11. Simply type in your current encryption password (if you've set one), and the password with which the backup was encrypted (if you chose to set a password), and the restore will begin. It again will take several minutes depending on the size of the backup and the options chosen.
12. You're back to normal, short of possibly some widgets on the home screen. My wallpaper was even restored, my app folders remained just as I had them before, my alarms remained, and for most applications, I didn't even have to log back in; it kept everything.

NOTE: There seems to be a bug in which backup and restore operations will fail unless a desktop backup password is set under Developer Options. It will not work with a blank password.But no harm in trying

I found the original post, made a full backup using
adb backup -apk -shared -all -f filename
it made a backup of about 1.2gb which I tried restoring. It hung on restoring uk.co.7digital. Well I assume it hung, no movement in 30minutes and I could not see any file access to the backup on my pc. I killed it. It had restored my apps ok, but rosie was completely blank, just the apps button, I didnt investigate any further as to whether contacts, app data etc were there, I just did a factory reset thinking some things may be in an inconsistent state

Check my signature. Download the tool kit and choose any of the available devices, back up your data (Full backup), then when you want to restore your stuff, select Full Restore. It's as simple as that.
Galaxy S III is currently not fully available, but any of the device forms will do
Lg
Edit:
Oh, and you're doing it completely wrong. If you downloaded the SDK for Windows, all you need is the Windows shell (CMD, PowerShell).
And you only need to type in:
Code:
adb start-server
adb backup <-f<File location>.ab> <-apk><-system><-all><-shared>
and to restore:
Code:
adb start-server
adb restore <path-to-file>.ab

Follow this to backup your phone (make sure u have installed drivers on comp) :
1. enable USB debugging Settings > Developer, enable developer options, then enable USB debugging
2. open the sdk and plug your device in
3.navigate to where adb is. you’ll find the adb.exe file in the platform-tools folder. With the default installation settings, the location is: C:\Users\"NAME"\AppData\Local\Android\Android-sdk\platform-tools.
(replace name with your account name)
4. In that folder hold shift and right click and select Open command window here.
5. type
Code:
adb devices
to test if your device can comunicate with adb
You should see a device in the list – if you see no devices, adb can’t communicate with your device because its driver isn’t installed properly.
6. type
Code:
adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\Users\NAME\backup.ab
(again replace the word name)
After running this command, you’ll have to agree to the backup on your device. You can also encrypt the backup with a password here, if you like.

Thread only, please. That way other users have a chance to discuss the same problem and I really can treat it as a problem.
And you might want to have a look at this: http://sourceforge.net/p/universalat/discussion/general/thread/2e2a5c18/?limit=50#75bc <- That tells you how to write a bug report and that way I can really have a look at it and change stuff in necessary.

Second time Ive gotten stuck in this whole process, man I dont get why no one else seems to be having trouble but myself Worked on this part for at least 40 minutes before posting, will continue while I wait for response.
This part of the instruction:
14. Go to the directory where you downloaded your bootloader unlock key.
15. Enter "fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin" in DOS command window.
“unlock.bin” is the bootloader unlock key you received in the email.
I feel like I must be missing somthing here, because I dont understand why Im bothering to "go to the directory wherer the unlock key is" if Im just going to be entering a command in the dos window. It's not like im browsing to it then adding it, then opening it in a piece of software or whatever....
Either way, just copy pasting "fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin" (without quotations) I get an error "cannot load "unlock.bin"
Using Minimal adb as cmd, this is correct right?
"Edit" Update:
Should I be using adb.exe instead of minimal adb? No need in explaining every step that led to this, but I have this folder now in my c drive (https://gyazo.com/703ba598851878527d817c8ff68ae11b) I've tried running adb.exe as admin, even not as admin, and the command window just flashes up quickly and disappears. This makes more sense to me even though it's not working for some reason.
Thanks
Copy that unlock.bin file to the same folder where your fastboot files are. The same folder where you are right-clicking to create the command window.
Your TWRP file should also be in that same folder (for later).
It's going to look for files in that folder that you are telling it to "flash". If it can't find the file, it can't flash that file.
The instructions are written poorly. I knew what to do, based on past experience.

Alright, so youre saying the unlock.bin folder goes into the folder in my screenshot, with the 4 files in it correct? If so, shift right click open cmd window is the only way to bring up the right cmd window in order to unlock the bootloader? If so, is that option default on your pc? I don't have the right click open command window option available. I read into that, it have the impression it was disabled at some point, the task of restoring the option seemed somewhat arduous, at least according to a couple of the walthrough's I read. Are you aware of a simpler method of making this option available?
thanks so much Chazz for youre reply, I was really looking forward to doing this today and this small step has roadblocked me for hours at this point, really appreciate it man

In that folder with your fastboot files, you hold the keyboard "shift" key down, while simultaneously right clicking (in an empty space) with your mouse. In that right click menu should be an option to open a command window. You would click on that option.

Powershell, it's powershell. I knew that was a command window, why was I missing it, I'm sure it was there the whole time. Thanks Chazz, looks like I'm gtg.

This makes more sense to me even though it's not working for some reason.
Thanks

For G6 but should be the same for LG V30.

DISCLAIMER: This guide works on any phone with Android 11 or newer. Previous versions do not have wireless debugging so this is not possible.
Hey all! In this short guide, I will be showing you how to give any app the permission "WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" without needing to connect to a computer.
For this guide, I will be using System UI Tuner by Zachary Wander as my example app.
First, download and install Shizuku. This is a wonderful app that allows system API access directly without needing to root your phone.
Once you've installed Shizuku, follow the steps to start it through the wireless debugging method. You will only need to pair once as long as you don't reinstall the app.
DISCLAIMER: Shizuku will need to be restarted if you restart your phone but it's just a matter of re-enabling wireless debugging and then clicking "Start" in the Shizuku app.
Next, we're going to install Termux by Fredrik Fornwall. Simply open the app once, wait for it to finish installing, then leave the app.
Now, re-enter Shizuku, and click the button that says "Use Shizuku in terminal apps".

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then click "Export files".
Afterwards, make a new folder, and call it "Shizuku".
Finally, click "Use this folder".
Almost there!
Head over to Termux, and type:
Code:
pkg install nano
This installs a text editor that we will use to edit our Shizuku config file.
While it's installing, go to Termux's app info, and change the permissions to allow it access to all files. This will allow it to see the folder we made earlier.
Go back to Termux, and after nano is done installing, type the following:
Code:
cd /sdcard/Shizuku
nano shizuku
Once inside the text editor, press the CTRL key on Termux's key bar, and press the "\" key on your keyboard.
Now, type "PKG", press Enter, then in the next field, type "com.termux".
Now, tap "a", tap Ctrl+X, tap "y", and you're done!
Whenever you want to authorize an app with "WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" simply open Termux, cd to "/sdcard/Shizuku", and type:
Code:
sh shizuku pm grant <package name here> android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
You will only have to do this once per app as long as you do not uninstall it.
Have fun!
So this broke my brain just a bit (it's been one of those days) however if I am reading it correctly this will give some apps a pseudo root.

Sort of, it's the highest permission you can give an app without rooting your phone.
Does it allow you to say debloat the phone or things like that?

I'm not sure I haven't tested it that far but you can access all app data folders with it so maybe?

Hmmm have to get some time to try this. Adulting sucks.
Hello, so I'm stuck on the /sdcard/
I dont have one is just on internal storage Shizuku folder... How do im supposed to type it
Does Shizuku still work with the N200 after the November update?
I was able to get everything setup to the last step where I grant packages write permissions, but every package I name returns 'pm: no such file or directory'.
If I use Termux to try to navigate to /SD card/Android/data i get 'cannot open directory: permission denied'. I'm wondering if Termux can even access the apps to give them elevated permissions?
