I wanted to know the best way to root....
The only thing I care about is tether to my moto Xoom. I really don't want to Boise warranty and have counter go up unless it is te BEST WAY
System flash
Overclock kernel
Root kernel
Wow 65 views and no opinion....
Well, I tried to copy the thread URL from the AT&T Note development forums but kept getting a force close so I just went to the browser to copy the link. I haven't rooted myself yet, but this seems to be the easiest way I've seen.
I imagine that it won't be to long before this is improved further. Anyway, here's the link to that thread:

Yea that's the kernel version, I just wanted to get opinions on what they used and why they think it's the best

That's the root that I used, and then I did his overclock kernel from another thread. The Note is my fourth Android phone and that's by far the easiest and fastest root that I've ever done. Literally, within minutes I was rooted and overlclocked.
I just want to be easy and safe... Not like I err break a phone and get warranty work... Knock on wood
system root only because it won't increase your flash counter so ATT/Sammy can't deny warranty on it if they choose.
I did system root for now until there is a way to reset the flash counter.

Hi all, I have a question regarding the topic above.
I had google and browser through every sub-forum of samsung sII and others, but I still couldn't get my answer
As we know if you want to root your SII, you will need to flash the insure kernel file. Previously there is also a method using the zergRush, but unfortunately the new stock kernel is no longer working with it.
Back to the topic Like other samsung phone, for example galaxy Young, we can just copy an update.zip to the SD card and update through the phone (vol up+center+power).
My question is, why galaxy S2 unable to do this trick?

Because the .ZIPs need to be properly signed when using stock recovery.
Just flash a kernel with CWM recovery via Odin, problem solved. It's really easy.

The apk-signer using the "testkey.x509.pem" and "testkey.pk8" will not works either? but why?
Yes it is easy with Odin, but it increase the binary count and I dun have the Jig =/

Then just get one.
Either make yourself or grab one off eBay for 3 bucks.
Besides, a custom count > 0 doesn't harm or effect the phone in any way.

He meant for you to make your own jig. All you need is a USB plug and ~301 ohms worth of resistors. Apparently 300 ohms works.

I understand that, but that was not my question thanks anyway~
Actually you can root the phone and use CWM without increasing the counter.
I did it like this:
- Install any rom below 2.3.6 (I used 2.3.5)
- Root using Zerg rush method
- Install a custom kernel via mobile Odin (I installed Siyah kernel)
- Go to CWM and install a rom of your choice
My counter is at 0 and I am running a custom rom and kernel. Odin won't trigger any counters unless you flash an insecure kernel. Why mobile Odin doesn't increase any counters is beyond me but it works.

Because it doesn't flash through the bootloader in download mode.
Technically it's not Odin increasing the counter, it the bootloader's downloadmode when it checks the signature of the kernel and it fails the check.
Mobile Odin is running as "normal executable code" on the phone and writes directely to the affected partitions, hence no counters or triangles.
nice information bpivk and HellCatDroid! this is a new idea for me =D
by the way, and idea on why the update.ini will not works for s2?
Is there a good one click root available for the stock ICS Note?
Odin cwm through download mode. Flash superuser. More like 3-4 clicks. Tons of information in dev section, check the posts for flashing recovery. Its an unlocked boot loader so you don't need the programs like HTC or Motorola phones need, ie zergrush etc.

No. This method gives a recovery that could allow the phone to get bricked. It is no longer supported
OP, please read "[ref] read before rooting" in my signature first.

really? do you believe that you're the first person to ask for a rooting guide? you're not, which means you shouldn't have posted, but instead followed one of the guides on xda, which are easily found. hell, there's a link on the section list page.

Depends when you rooted. The bug was only identified in November and fixes only released in January
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Really you should follow an xda guide, no point in linking to another site....if you have a query about their method you should address them, I can guarantee their method is copy/paste or rewrite of an xda post anyway.

Hi there,
You might want to check out samsung galaxy III toolkit here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488.
It is a fairly easy to understand command tool which will root your phone and also install custom recovery (which is essential IMO if you want to try different ROMs later on).

is this a ruu flashable image or just the ota in zip form?

From the size of the file you can tell it's just the OTA package and not the whole RUU.

No you need stock recovery.
Just to be clear
If I put in stock recovery then I can flash this in fastboot mode? DO I need to extract it. I'd really like to get the radio from the update--I'm S on and have a custom ROM. DO I need to go back to stock? Feel free to use snark when you respond, but a legit answer plus snark is perfectly karmicly acceptable given my question. THanks.

You are S-On it means you cannot flash radio in it's own.
What you need to do is go back to stock ROM and stock recovery and wait for ota or if you cannot wait force stock recovery to flash ota from phone.
Anybody have or know where I can find the standalone radio/firmware/hboot? Thanks.
I'm looking for just the firmware update as well. No one seems to have it yet.
