Hi..
Which is the best option to root SGS2...? cfroot...or super one click...?.. What is the difference between these two...?...please help...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Cfroot. There's not much difference, other than Cfroot is a Kernel that's being flashed, not a program to exploit your phone. Cfroot is a much simpler process.

agreed cfroot has done me very well

Just use cfroot. As of now it's the best option out there.

Agreed with all above, always use CF Kernel all the way, no mess, no fuss! Job done in seconds. Plus you also get a free pretty warning triangle at boot up!
CFRoot was as simple as 30 second, literally 3 clicks. You keep your settings and that lovely little triangle is just beautiful to behold

if you are planning on using ics you can get rid of the triangle with "triangle away" works like a charm ^_^

Do you just turn off, remove battery for a few seconds, reinsert, insert jig and boot into download mode and it's gone as if by magic?

This worked for me using my SainSmart Jig from Amazon:-
1) Power Off Using menu option.
2) Wait 10-15 seconds, inserted Jig.
3) Phone auto powered on and went into Download mode, displaying "Erasing Download Information Succeeded"
4) Power Off.
5) Remove Jig
Phone Powered On without any Yellow Triangle.
.... just like magic
There's lots of reports that the jig won't work (I'm one of them)on ICS with the new bootloader. But others have success with it. Triangle Away at present is the only way to remove it efficiently and quickly. You can get it free here on XDA. Just make sure you still thank Chainfire for his hard work in some way.

If the jig won't work with ICS, simply flash the old bootloader. Easy fixed.

Hi guys,
I am new to the forums, and want to root my galaxy s II so i can get pure ics running on my mobile. I noticed that everyone has said cf-root is the best to go with, after looking online I believe i found a good tutorial:
jayceooi.com/2011/08/04/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s2-with-cf-root-video
If a senior member could confirm this, that would be great.
Thanks
Confirmed, that's a nice and clear tutorial. Can't go wrong with that one.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 You can find the ICS roms just above the post titled ++++++ [Frankenstein Firmwares] +++++++
Get you ROM from here and just use the same method but all your doing different is using another file in place of the kernel one.

I received my jig from mobiletechvideos.com today. It worked as advertised. It reset the triangle, as well reset the custom binary download count to No, and reset current binary to "Samsung Official" even though I am running entropy512's 10092011 kernel.
Here is a link to a video, mine works just like the video

Has anyone tested a usb jig with the att gs2 yet?
It should work the same as with the i9100 version, but I was just wondering if anyone who has the phone that might have a jig and tested it yet.
I just tested my jig (I am rooted and had the triangle on my att version) and my count now says NO and the yellow triangle is gone.
Thanks, I wanted to just make sure before I bought our made one.

If I recall correctly, there are a few different possible resistor values for jigs? Which one is yours?
Now that I have a device with the bootloader counter, I need to get some resistors and finally open that package of MicroUSB breakouts from Sparkfun.
I'm considering buying the SGS II in the next week, what exactly does the Jig do? I didn't see much in terms of why you would need this for rooting so I figured I would inquire.
It will put your phone into download mode as long a your bootloaders are not corrupted (which can be done by other methods also), but more importantly it resets the binary flash counter to zero and removes the yellow triangle from the boot splash screen if you have a custom modified kernel or ROM flashed to your sgs2 phone.
All in all not a necessary device, but very useful to those who flash and modify their phone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
So if I am not mistaken it's just a way to prevent AT&T Support from visually seeing you have at somepoint flashed a different kernel and theoretically voided the warranty.

Oh that wouldn't bother me in the least considering how rarely I reboot my device. Thanks, I appreciate the help. I anticipate that the community will have roms churned out left and right for this device based off the ease of hacking and the number of ROMs that were available for the Captivate.

my captivate jig worked on the S II
I think we will see a few people with old jigs that do work and old jigs that don't and it will be because slightly off the mark resistance. I bet those whose old jig that does not work will just need to tweak their jig by an ohm or two.
By the way I ordered a jig from mobiletechvideos.com yesterday and I will report back on if it works when I get it here.

Do you recall how many ohms your jig is and what wattage? I built mine with 301 ohms @1/4 Watts. Would unbrick Captivate to DL mode, but not soft-bricked Infuse. It would put working Infuse into DL mode though?????

On the boot up screen it now shows Samsung Galaxy SII

Everything is running and working fine however the fact that its not a GT I9100 and its showing that really bothers me.

Minor glitch with the ! warning screen. The ! warning screen uses logo.jpg from param.lfs and not logo_att.jpg
To get rid of the ! warning you need to either use a jig or flash a stock kernel.
Once your system image is rooted, you can Odin/Heimdall a stock kernel, then flash a CWM-enabled kernel from the device. I've posted multiple times on other threads how to do this.
New to this Community just Converted from iPhone 4 and have to say I love this phone so far. Have a look around to find how to remove that from the boot screen. Thanks

How do I get Navigator app to accept speech input like it did with original ?
Almost all the driver mode on options seem to be whacked...
Maybe I did something (else) dumb??

and i have the SGSII i9100 but when i plug it in it goes to download mode.
And nothing changes all my things are still the same count and others.
I dont get the green line text like everyone else nor do i get the removal of
yellow triangle.
Does this mean my USB Jig is faulty? It goes into download mode and thats about it.
Using ICS boot loader? If so I don't think you can reset counter with the jig. There's an app on here called Triangle away if that's what you need...

Quick question file comes in .7z do i change that to .tar?
Lol because i can't open file in Odin. unless it's a .tar
You'll need to unzip it. .7z is like a zip file androzip from the market will extract it.

wana pay a lot for it but i guess it's lose lose either way lol.
Haha that's true! I wonder how they work
When I press the power button I am given a screen of black background with orange/red font with these words:
RST_STAT =0x1
PWIC_IRQ1=0x3c
PWIC_IRQ2=0x0
PWIC_IRQ3=0x0
PWIC_IRQ4=0x0
PWIC_STATUS1=0xc0
PWIC_STATUS2=0x2c
Okay what happened was, that I was in download mode, I had Odin3, with re-partition checked (all three were checked), and a pit with eclair 2.1 target. But I forgot to set PDA target and clicked start. After it said PASS and blue in first box. The status bar at the lower left box said REMOVED. So I thought it meant to remove my phone. So I removed phone and closed ODIN. Now it won't boot...
Any advice?
Did you try and start over with odin??

I have been making several attempts to get to downloader mode so I may ODIN it back up again, but all have been unsuccessful.
Also read other threads on JIG and boot-up opitions, but those seem to require to be stuck in the carrier icon part of the bootup.

A jig could fix your problem potentially, you don't have to be at a certain screen for it to work. I can plug my jig into my phone with the phone completely off and it will boot into download mode....

yea, a jig may work for you...I myself have never encountered the specific problem you are describing but a jig should take you into dl mode from a currently off device. They are pretty inexpensive too so it's worth the chance I'd say

It's not really a problem. The triangle doesn't affect you really. It's just an indicator that you the kernel you last flashed while the phone was in download mode was not signed by Samsung.
If it bothers you that much, you can either:
a) flash your stock kernel back while your phone is in download mode (via Odin/Heimdall/whatever)
b) use a USB jib, assuming your bootloader is old enough that a jig works.
Otherwise, you can just ignore the triangle. It doesn't affect your usage or performance of the phone whatsoever.
Agreed, I can confirm that the triangle and binary count does not affect the operation of your phone in anyway. I still have mine and see no reason to remove it at present.
