Alright so I found a thread that can let me dump SU/Root on my stock Galaxy S2
Kernel + cache + rooted UCKK6 system package: http://www.multiupload.com/NYL3XT51Y0 or http://dev-host.org/8LA if MultiUpload never comes back
Posted by entropy.
I downloaded Heimdall ran the front end.
I downloaded the files above from the ROOTED UCKK6 System package since I only want root/su on my stock rom.
I've also entered into Download mode making sure the drivers are there in USB on PC.
Now I'm stuck..
I'm not sure what to flash or how using this new GUI.

I hope someone can tell me what file to put in what area and how to use this front-end GUI, I've read alot but when it comes to ROOTING which might BRICK my phone I'd rather be 100% sure then risk it
Entropy recommends using Heimdall command line. Extract the separate parts, put them in the same directory with Heimdall, and run the command as follows:
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel zImage --factoryfs factoryfs.img --cache cache.img --hidden hidden.img
To use the Heimdall front end, you would put each part in the Partition details section of the second screen. In the code above, partition names are preceeded by -- and followed by a space and the file name.
what goes in PIT?
DO NOT FLASH PITS ON THIS DEVICE UNLESS YOU ARE SPECIFICALLY TOLD TO DO SO BY A TRUSTED SOURCE.
Right now, there is NO reason to EVER flash a PIT on the I777. This might change in the future, but right now:
DO NOT DO IT!!! Great way to screw up your device.
Can you show me screenshot of what goes where on the stock root rom using the screens above my post thread please I'm not sure if you can spare it a simple dumb down step by step instructions would be deeply appriciate I'm on win 7 64

I can do almost everything else the initial root I have issues with,
Rom flashing, Kernel flashing ect all easy..
The Initial root flash is always difficult please..
I know asking for help isn't common or welcome here,
I'm asking for a step by step guide with IMAGES so i can root it after that I can do the rest myself, the only thing that is confusing is the front-gui for this system I've never used.. last thing I rooted was a Mytouch 3g slide

I'd be very surprised if anyone would go to that kind of trouble for you.
If you don't understand the Heimdall front end, use the Heimdall commandline tool. It is very straight forward, and I already gave you the code you need. If you need more detailed instructions, you will find some instructions in my guide How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter in section 2d.

The problem with showing you how to do something like what your asking requires you to have at least the most basic knowledge of a cmd line and how to bring it up. It's really not that difficult but doing it depends on if your on Windows XP or Windows 7. For XP just go to start/run and type 'cmd'. For 7 you go to the little windows ball and just type 'cmd'. Now from there it requires you to know what dir the files are in and how to get there. So you see its really NOT that easy if you don't know what your doing. So he's not an asshole for telling you to leave your phone alone. He's actually trying to save you and everyone else in here a lot of headaches.

Odin formats everything, it's UCKK6 no g and you shouldn't update when you're rooted. I suggest doing more homework and coming back.

I dont know the total answer to the problem, but had a thought. Why dont you take the sd card out, put it in your computer, download commrom or evil fascination and flash that through CWM 3.0. If th gets you up and running, it may help with all your other issues and allow you to odin what you want.
There's no need to use aggressive language there, and you might have been better off posting I'm the Questions and Answers to avoid flaming. Have you installed the drivers for the Fascinate correctly?

To the OP, did you install the Samsung drivers? Check the stickies for a link. Our phones don't play well with computers until they are installed. And use the 32 bit drivers. I have had way better luck with those.

I would say it might be you need the fascinate drivers. You said you reinstalled windows, but never mentioned reinstalling the drivers for the phone
Yeah i would try and reinstall the drivers, or try on a linux comp (where you dont need drivers and heimdall works). But you should be able to flash UKB (com rom) or EF using cwm3, with no problems, cuz i use cwm3 and i've flashed both. But your first move should be reinstall drivers and try again on win7.

There's the drivers that work on my win7 comp.
Hope this helps.
I think OP has a broken usb port on his phone. Just from what he says in this thread and his other threads pertaining to this very issue. Example. So sounds like it is off to repair.

this is the fix!
I've had this problem, my usb charges my phone but doesn't recognize it on my pc.
Try to get a hold of someone elses charger and see if that works
i used an att captivate usb and I was able to connect to odin
Ok First things first:
ATT SGSII, 2.3.6, I777UCKK6, 2.6.35.7, Build UnNamed 2.2.1
Purchased: Rom Manager, TiBu, Rom Toolbox, SetCPU, root Mobile ODIN Pro and many apps not relevant (except one) to this inquiry.
I loaded my question up here, it was lower in the body of this text but I figured I'd give a layout first of what I'm trying to figure out and then the details of what's going on.
Is the Triangle, !, android an issue with something I did or an issue with Clockwork as previously mentioned in many other threads? Basically will it show up any time I try to boot to CWR from Rom Manager? I haven't used it in so long so I don't know anymore.
**I do see where it indicates that you shouldn't use Rom Manager with this phone in threads. I am not asking whether you should use it at this point. I am asking if it is generating the error with the Triangle, ! and Android. In these steps below I also did try flashing entrophy's kernel amongst other things.
Also if anyone reading this can provide an idea of how to fix the amazon downloads showing purchased in google I'll try it but I don't want to start customizing my phone till I know it doesnt have some lingering issues.
I have flashed roms starting back with my captivate since october 2010. I have had a membership off and on on xda since at least 2003. I have read forums and studied and don't know where to look to answer this question although it's probably simple and I probably already know. Here it is...
I use amazon.. (why I dont know I've almost converted to only google market). I was lured in by their free app of the day deals. The one app I love the most is TuneIn. I have tried repeatedly to uninstall the app, remove amazon, clear cache, dalvik cache, market cache, data and everything else including deleting folders with old tunein and amazon info, all backups from any of above said tools. Yesterday TuneIn was .49 on Google (although I've tried buying it for its normal price too). After reading a post on here and using Rom Toolbox to clear all my data (yeah I screwed that up and I mean ALL data) my menu button and power button menu were disabled or gone (no boot into recovery, dl mode etc). I tried fixing it by doing a stock restore to existing rom.. didnt fix it. Thought I'd try to install a new rom, didn't fix it. Spent 6 hours last night just trying to get my phone to store stock, eventually did but couldnt get CWR (not CWM) installed. Even CWM wouldn't install CWR. If I used CWM to reboot to recovery (power button option to boot to recovery was still disabled and 3 button would take me to stock 3e) it would show me a triangle with exclamation point and the android.
As of now running my above said options, I can boot to CWR using the power button & recovery. I have also gone into CWM (which I read in the past, adamantly not to use with the SGSII - ATT) and flashed CW and when I try to boot from there I am still getting the Triangle with ! and the green android. So it appears I have CWR from power, I can flash roms again, My phone is working well again (although I still can't get tune in from google!!!!!!).
I do want to mention I formatted the sd, not external and not the inserted micro sd. Should have been a totally clean install.
Thanks for reading my lengthy info, I'm sorry if i missed this but I did work on this 6 hours last night and have been working on it 2 hours this morning.
Didn't read all of it, but here ya go.
[GUIDE] How to remove warning triangle w/ Mobile Odin
You need to read more before flashing your phone.
The triangle appears if you flash a new ROM/kernel. Another simple way to get rid of the triangle is to get a cheap usb jig off ebay.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081
The Samsung Galaxy S II contains an internal flash counter which is incremented each time a non-stock binary (kernel/rom) is flashed from a computer using Odin or Heimdall. (Using the new Mobile Odin on your phone does not increment the flash counter.) The purpose of the flash counter is believed to be to allow Samsung and or AT&T technicians to detect if the phone has a voided warranty through flashing non-stock firmware. The first time the flash counter is activated, the phone also displays a warning screen on boot up with a yellow warning triangle containing an exclamation point. The warning screen also contains the i9100 logo. (Evidently, Samsung did not change the warning screen from the International version of the Galaxy S II for the AT&T version.) Some rooting methods require that a non-stock kernel be flashed before rooting can be accomplished. So rooting and flashing custom software can both cause the dreaded yellow triangle, and increment the flash counter.
It is possible to remove the warning screen by two methods. One is by using a Jig to place the phone into download mode. The other is by flashing a stock kernel using either Odin or Heimdall. However, there is only one way to reset the flash counter, and that is with a micro usb Jig. This was true for the International version of the Galaxy S II as confirmed by Chainfire on the i9100 forums. This has also been confirmed for the AT&T Galaxy S II by dayv. Please see his post here, and then go to this post and read it and the following five posts for a complete description with screen shots.

Not sure what your problem is with Amazon and Google Market. Are you trying to get rid of Amazon and just use TuneIn from the market?
Not the triangle you guys think.. read the full thread please
Hey guys, I'm not talking about the GT I9000 triangle. I already know how to get rid of that one..this is a triangle with an ! inside of it and an android next to it. The i9000 one is a triangle with a black ! in it..

.o0O ..Sigh I figured out where the attachment button was.. thanks..
This is what I'm talking about folks.. when using the *reboot into recovery* option in rom manager this is what I get, not recovery. I can get to recovery just fine using 3 button or using the power button..
Also anyone ever figure out how to get an app you got for free from amazon to stop showing purchased with google even after say.. flashing to stock and starting fresh and not even downloading it?
That's all because you SHOULD NOT USE ROM Manager

What part of
Wow.. what part of *I said in my first post I know it says not to use rom manager and that's what the whole freakin thread was partly asking about along with the issue that generated this whole inquiry!*
Do people know how to read? Do people know how to respond with out being rude? If you ever read my comments I stated I know it says not to use rom manager yet you get sucked in assuming I'm talking about the GT I9100 statement.. I said in other threads it says not to use it but then again it says TO use it. I said I can get into recovery fine using the other methods and wanted to ENSURE that the droid with ! and triangle was specifically an issue related to rom manager which I had stated was UNINSTALLED!! Wow...
Secondly the question primarily was .. I downloaded tunein from amazon app store. It was free. Amazon updates don't seem to be timely as googles. Uninstalling the app, clearing caches and market info does NOT fix the issue. It will still show *purchased* and decline the download on Google. All of the above said issues were results of me trying to be able to download and install the app from google instead of Amazon. I had to reformat, stock etc my phone and reroot try to find cwr to flash to my phone. I used an old copy I had sitting around on my HD. I tried using entrophy's kernel, I tried using a few other of the new roms.. I tried using my old rom. NONE of them would allow me to flash in stock recovery or would flash over stock recovery.
I apologize if my explanations aren't clear enough. I was hoping they made enough sense but either I'm not being clear enough or people are just plain being rude. Try being useful if you respond and stating something that leads to a solution rather than an insult...
I said in other threads it says not to use it but then again it says TO use it.

You can not flash in stock recovery, so if you are rooted then use Mobile Odin or any other method then flash Entropy/Siyah.
From there you can start flashing roms and see if your problems still persist.

I ask cause maybe its needs to be changed...
You can not flash in stock recovery, so if you are rooted then use Mobile Odin or any other method then flash Entropy/Siyah.
From there you can start flashing roms and see if your problems still persist.

Okey dokey - First, thanks for actually trying to respond with helpful information instead of sarcasm. I actually really do appreciate that. Second I see people all over the forums stating they use rom manager. At this point when I have more time if this thread is still open I will cite those but at the moment I don't honestly have time. I wanted to thank you first to show you I appreciate your positive feedback. I cannot install it from the android market website either, it also shows purchased. Thank you for that suggestion. Lastly I tried mobile odin before I ended up using odin on my win7 pc. I had an old stock rom from oct last year I used to flash back to stock and then gain root and cwr. Then I flashed unnamed back on. I only installed rom manager because I probably followed some other sheep who were using it stating it in multiple forums q&a and general.
Again, thanks for the suggestions, in my first post it does show I have mobile odin pro along with many other tools.

So being rude to people posting and then them sending a pm asking them not to be rude in post, when they don't clearly read all the details makes them a saint? I'm the one providing well more than enough details to support my inquiry and on a message board and thread where people are supposed to help each other ends up being a bashing section by people stating I didnt search or read enough when I clearly stated I already did all that.. that makes him a saint?
Perhaps you need reevaluation on what saints are and do.. This was easy to google and didnt require hours of searching a forum for an answer:
"any of certain persons of exceptional holiness of life, formally recognized as such by the Christian Church, especially by canonization.
2.
a person of great holiness, virtue, or benevolence.
3.
a founder, sponsor, or patron, as of a movement or organization.
4.
(in certain religious groups) a designation applied by the members to themselves.
verb (used with object)
5.
to enroll formally among the saints recognized by the Church.
6.
to give the name of saint to; reckon as a saint."
Im all for people using their brains but people have become pathetically disrespectful here. I'd love to get a moderator involved here and file a complaint. I've had 2 useful posts out of all of this. Peopel have more time to be disrespectful than to actually provide useful information. This wastes ALL of our time...
Oh boy... closed.
I tried to install a custom rom on my phone and something went wrong. I was in cwm recovery and installing it from the zip file, but it said the installation failed (after it said someting like system is already unmounted). The phone is stuck on the green HTC letters. I can get into the bootloader screen, but I cannot get back into recovery. I click it, and the recovery screen flashes, but that is it. I think I need to flash a rom, but I am unsure how to do that. Can someone please help me? I did a little searching, but honestly I am scared that I wont be able to fix it and I just need a little help.
Thanks
sit tight...GG will be by to help
U wanna give some info?
S on or off?

I've been in a good mood today and I got into enuff flame yesterday.

You need to flash the kernel from inside the ROM zip file.
Then, once u get booted up, download and install 4ext recovery to prevent this from happening again
And if u ask me how to flash a kernel, I PROMISE, u will NOT like my response :-D
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Is it the kernal from the stock rom that I was on or the one I was trying to install? Also, can you describe how to flash it? Sorry for all the questions, but I really do apreciate the help.
Considering you are flashing my Rom you need to use 4ext to make it flash right

Just some friendly advice: It's always better to search for your answer before asking for help. People will be more willing to help, if you have first demonstraded that you have exhausted all efforts to help yourself. XDA is not a help/support site. It has always been about and for development.

I am sorry glacierguy I didn't see that part of your post. I did do a search and the information I found said that you must go into recovery. I cannot get into recovery. When I select recovery from the boot menu the phone restarts and something that looks like the recovery screen quickly flashes and then the phone goes back to the HTC screen.

Download a stock ruu, place it on your sd card rename it PH85IMG, boot into bootloader, it'll ask if you want to update, volume up as yes, when it finishes and reboots, root via hasoon's tool, install 4EXT recovery via the app, note that you have to install busy box first, this can be found on the market, once you have 4EXT recovery, start your rom flashing to the new rom all over again, this time it should be fine.
The problem is that I cant place the information onto the sdcard since it is not visible on the computer because the phone will not start all the way. Is there an alternative way to do this? When the phone did start I was transferring the information to the sdcard by using the phone in disk drive mode when connected to the computer. My computer has an sdcard slot, but it is the larger size and I can't find the adapter. Is that the only way to do this?

Find the adapter or learn fastboot commands... Adapter would be easier... I could see fastboot commands not going well witb you. If u can't find it, they're dirt cheap at Wal-Mart or Target (wherever u shop)

Here is an example of where a google search would serve you well. There are sd card adapters for this purpose.

Please take some time to research before asking questions. Modding phones requires a lot of research and understanding. The answers are there, if you take the time to read. Developers invest a lot of their personal time into development, and they do so, absolutely free. They also share all the necessary info.

Can't tell him about fastboot commands because I'm pretty sure he's not on a modded or the ENG hboot, therefore he'd be wasting time, grab the adapter, that's your best chance.
Thank you everybody for the help. Dark Nightmare you were especially helpful and I really apreciate it. I got the new rom on my phone and everything is working now. Originally I did follow the instructions for putting the new rom on, but the problem was they were old instructions and they did not involve 4ext recovery so the flash didn't work. After that the problem was that I didn't have the sd adapter, but I went and got one and everything worked perfectly.
I find this forum really useful and I am sorry if I angered glacier guy or anybody else, but I did do some searches and sometimes it is just better to ask a question. After all, thats one of the reasons a forum exist in the first place, right?
Hello everyone. This is my first tutorial with Gear S so I hope it will help someone.
First of all
I am not responsible for any damage done to you deviceI saw in this Tutorial thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s/development/definitive-guide-to-rooting-gear-s-t2973455, that some people have unsupported firmware versions and they can't root they'r device. It is not true. You can root your device, if you will follow this simple guide.
What do you need:
1) Gear S
2) Charging cradle with USB cable
3) PC running Windows (because windows is only OS I know XD)
4) Odin 3.09: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4xXHWEm81OleU0wckt0S2pjSU0
5) supported firmware downloaded from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-R750/ (it is just on you which one do you pick, but it must be supported in the root thread)
6) Drivers: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4xXHWEm81OlT1ZBeXdHYXZqQTA
If you have everything downloaded you can proceed to the tutorial it selfStep by step firmware changing guide:
1) Unzip downloaded software and install drivers
- you should end with one .MD5 file and one .dll file (I am not sure, if the .dll is needed)
2) Open Odin 3.09

}
- Here you have to Tick AP, click on AP and select your .MD5 file
-you should start to see something like this (wait until it says leave CS..)
- you can continue if you see this
3)Untick Auto reboot
4) Enable USB-Debugging on Gear S
- Settings -> Gear Info -> USB Debugging
5) Put your gear S into download mode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qwcf79m9ycw
- credits go to cipherswitch
6) Connect your gear S to PC
- you should see this
7) Click start and wait till it is done
- when it is done you will see this
8)Wait till Gear S reboot
- Now just look at the firmware page and there should be new software version
If you have an error
-repeat everything but with different firmware version
P.S.: Sorry if you can't see pictures, so if you have problem just look into attachment they are listed here

I downloaded the exact same one from sammobile then I flashed the AOA7 root file from the root thread and it works fine. The software version will still be AOA7 but I think the baseband will be APC1 but mine is working flawlessly. Also you could still flash stock AOA7 first then root but theres no need as I've tested it.

as long as i know, changing stock rom does not affect carrier, but if u are scared, dont try it (i would try it for sure), because u can go totally back by flashing your stock rom.

Inside the .tar is an image file, might need to be unpacked, sorry just don't remember the steps.

I have a pair of the FPV Drone Edition. Have side loaded a few apps. Haven't rooted since Galaxy S3 ( back on iPhone now) am interested to get this going
Hi !
It seems the rooting of intel devices follow the scheme:
-get bootimg
-patch it
-allow oem bootloader (voiding warranty and endangering future updates)
-flash the patched bootimg and pray
Is this correct or did i oversimplify or generalize too much or am i plain wrong, anyone ?
Greetings,
Ender
P.S. Greetings dvegaman
Bump.
Well, BUMP, goddamn
Just came across 2 pairs of these (BT-300s).
If the lack of interest in rooting is due to lack of hardware, reach out to me privately here on XDA; would happily donate one to kickstart some development efforts.

This may seem easy to others but I figured out how to do a factory data reset using ADB... something that would've helped when my BT-300 went into a boot loop last weekend...
***DO AT YOUR OWN RISK! NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKING, ETC..... (but it worked fine for me).
1. Install "minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.2_setup.exe" (google it and grab at your own risk) on your Windows PC.
2. Go to the BT-300 and:
a. Under Security allow unknown sources
b. Under Developer Options allow USB debugging and unlock bootloader.
3. Connect same powered up BT-300 to PC via USB cable.
4. Start up that minimal ADB program. It will open in command prompt.
5. Check connection by typing "adb devices"
Should see "EMBT3C device" on PC
6. Now type, "adb reboot recovery" and wait for android with triangle/exclamation point to appear after device reboots. You will notice the physical buttons flash purple too.
7. Press and hold power button. Also press Vol Up, then release Vol Up and finally release Power button.
You should now see the recovery menu including "wipe data/factory reset", cache clear, and so on...
NOW... if I could get recovery.zip image to restore if I "kill" it to reload with ADB... THEN I'd try root. There must be a way. I just want GApps 5.1.1 on the thing for starters.
Still struggling with rooting... No dice so far. I've never rooted any Android... Once rooted can we then save the original factory ROM someplace safe, or do I need that first from another source? Newbie questions . I know just enough to be dangerous! LOL.
I got the factory image
Played around with the "SoftwareUpdate" apk and found the strings it uses to download the 1.4
Ugh just signed up but because I don't have enough posts I had to put a bunch of spaces in the links for them to

You download a file called "SecureUpdateInfo" open it in a text editor and it will give you a link to the direct download for the zip. Its about 300megs.

PS - It might com back without a link but "BUSY" on it. I have been testing it a bunch so thats what happened right now. The fille will look like below

Ok sending now.
I also managed to root my epson! I discovered the twrp.img here:

If you get into bootloader mode and fastboot flash it into the recovery partition, you can adb root it and then install supersu from there. I just trashed my device though so be sure to do a full image backup first haha.

Tried to load up opengapps, then every time I rebooted it would be "optimizing apps" I tried to side-load the OTA again and poof, it killed the system partition.
The ota apparently doesn't have the full image. Right now I am trying to hack together something from another cherry rom and side load it, but I need a DD of someones system Glad twrp still works or I wouldn't have shell root access to fix.

You tell me how to share a pure factory image of mine (I'll gladly do an FDR for the cause)... and I'll share with ya!

Ok I am retarded. I didn't configure twp correctly so all the folders it had were wrong. So when I went to use the install tool it screwed up majorly.
Just glad I didn't overwrite the bootloader
PS - Ok, I figured out how to restore the original recovery loader and it recovered fine. It must be something in this hacked version of twip that isn't applying the ota correctly. Going to try to build a version of twip just for this

You are not. I am the noob trying to figure out the whole root process and I don't even know how to backup the existing bootloader and ROM so I can restore it with ADB if I screw it all up in root..... I feel clueless and know just enough to be dangerous... yet for some reason, I'm not afraid, just need to learn.

Whew! I did it. First I took the instructions from here as a start:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/root-tutorial-intel-atom-cherry-trail-t3468330
In fact, if you can "almost" follow the instructions verbatim. The problem is that the data drive is encrypted and the default android password didn't work so I had to modify the boot.img to not encrypt the data partition then do a wipe. supersu installed fine then.
As for gapps, that was tricky. You have to manually install google webview apk as the built in one is garbage.
Still working on the vr settings. Camera has issues with scaling as I think good believes it to be a widescreen when its a 4.3.
Once I get it down, I will make a boot.img and recovery.img that should just work.
