odin flassh = unrooted = warranty back
If you flashed stock via odin you lost root. Remember that you still have CWM if you flashed it. You need to flash stock recovery as well. To check if you have root you can download for example: android terminal emulator. type the command: su.
Another way is to check if you have the application called: superuser. If thats not the case you lost root.

lol i always thought it , because there was a topic about reflashing stock recovery to get warranty back.. So only thing you have to do is reflash stock using odin? nice. Sorry for the bad advise

nope, u need to reflash the whole stock rom to get the warranty. i'm pretty sure service centre will consider your warranty is voided if it sees other rom installed other than the stock one, even with stock recovery

This is true. You'll need stock everything and unrooted.

yes.. including stock box, stock warranty card, and stock buying receipt.
(read stock = original)
Update with Kies (The worst process ever). You'll get Stock and Warranty back. Including the Stock Recovery.

Hi Guys, first time flashing and just successfully done so with SpeedMod kernel. Checked the kernel version and yup it's there.
One problem though, I tried installing Titanium Back up but it says my phone is not properly rooted. So I downloaded Root Checker and it says that my phone is indeed not properly rooted. What happened? I thought SpeedMod automatically installs root?
Hope (and Im sure) you guys can help me. Thanks in advance!

Installing speedmod kernal won't give you root access.. 1st you have to root your phone.. Search for it.. I will tell one method.. Flash an insecure kernel.. Then use 's2 root ' to root your phone.. There are many other methods..
Thank me if I helped

I see. I thought it was gonna give me root straight away. I posted a topic here about that and the one who replied told me to just flash SpeedMod straight away.
So what I have to do is flash an insecure kernel, then flash SpeedMod again?

Quoted from the speedmod changelog:

- Automatically installs root (su)
- CWM recovery

perhaps you need to update superuser or download SU Update Fixer
What are you guys on about, speedomod and most if not all custom kernels do indeed root you phone. Try to flash it again and plz use odin, not recovery as some assume.

Speedmod automatically roots your phone....
I expect superuser wasn't updated to the latest version,
Did titanium give an option such as 'yes, do it'?
If so, it's because your superuser app was not updated to latest version, check it on the android market.
I've flashed SpeedMod hundreds of times, it's never once failed to root.

I flashed it using Odin. Titanium didn;t give me that option either. I guess Ill just check the market for the latest Superuser then. Ill get back to you guys once I get back home, still here at work.
Thanks for the replies!
Ok so I downloaded the latest SU. Tried updating from within the app. So i got to the black screen with the green fonts, it says i run the legacy version. Then when it gets to the gaining root access.... Part, it always says fail. I tried dling the Su updater but all its says is ok.
Any help anyone?

My suggestion as you are going around in baffling circles .
....................................
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Start over with your custom rom root whatever .
Thanks for the tip Jjegan but I can't afford to lose all my apps in the process as I still can't use Titanium Backup. I've already updated to Superuser v3.0.7 but Root Checker still says I do not have proper root access.
I was browsing the OneClick Root thread and I saw someone there with the same problem (Superuser installed but can't use apps that require root access) but was not answered (I went from page 1-39). Spekaing of OneClick Root, would it work? It says it installs Superuser, su and Busybox.
I hope someone can help me with this.
**Also, would reflashing the stock kernel then flashing SpeedMod again solve the problem?
Might sound obvious but anyway: go into su, scroll over to the log and check that su hasn't been inadvertently blocked.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
No use. My log is empty plus I set the automatic response to Allow. Still nothing.
Should I just reflash the original kernel, clear all data then reflash Speedmod?
I'm running stock firmware btw.
I ran S2 Root and it says my device already has PERM ROOT. I'm getting confused...
Try fixing permissions, if that doesn't work try flashing a CF kernel or the original one. If all else fails you might have to bite the bullet and follow the advice above and start with a clean slate.

Ok I got it. XXKL1 can't get root access (I bought the phone from someone so I didn't know this before). I went ahead and flashed CheckRom v6 and everything worked! Superuser, root, etc.. everything! Good thing I kept on reading. Anyways, thanks for the replies guys!
Speedmod will make you lose root. Root again and flash a kernel like redpill or siyah.

i flashed rooted my phone come to find out the root was bad it turned my wifi off after everytime i turn it on well i reflashed it useing the stock with root and it still willl not boot into the recovery it just goes into the android e3 recovery any help would be awesome
What did you use to root your phone?
ODIN?
Have you ever used the program ODIN? If you already have the driver installed into your computer ODIN should be able to bring it back. Install Odin and find the your Operating system files for your phone. Im sure theres a video or forum for it. Google it.

Of course you don't have CWM Recovery; you flashed a stock kernel. Having root and having CWM are not the same thing.
Relax, you didn't do anything wrong; you're just not finished yet. What you need to do now is download Mobile Odin from the market, and use it to flash either Entropy's Daily Driver or Siyah. Either one includes CWM Recovery.

Be careful...ShoStock 1.x is Gingerbread(Android 2.3), but ShoStock 2.x is Ice Cream Sandwich(Android 4.0). Choose which one you want based on that.
Also, when posting on a forum like this, please use proper grammar. If you expect people to help you, you have to do what you can to help them understand what you're saying.
A very simple question. I wanna root my S2 (UK Sim Free ICS). I don't wanna use CF-Root Kernel. I wanna root it the way I rooted it last time, i.e. using an insecure kernel by Odia. Odia has not published any working insecure kernel for ICS (I have tried using various some kernels for 4.0.3 and some for gingerbread, none of them worked... obviously). So, all I want is an insecure kernel so that I can root it using ADB. I don't mind making an insecure kernel myself, if someone can teach me how to. Hoping for a quick reply.
Cheers

I had the same version and couldnt find an insecure kernel. I went ahead with CF-Root and I had no problems. Why dont you want to use it?
Download Mode + Odin > PDA - CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5 > Ready to go!!!
Can I ask why?
Cf root adds root and it's own manager to the stock kernel. Nothing more.
I haven't tried it but I rooted one aosp non rooted ROM by using cwm and su zip. You can try it I'll post it when I get home
Sent from my GT-I9100
Nevermind.
I did try CF-Root. I wanna keep my phone close to stock.. as much as possible. Plus I don't want CWM, so is there any way of rooting via CF-Root and then uninstalling CWM? I tried the ADB commands, but they don't work.
Easy fixed. Someone thinks they know what they're talking about (and is unable to use the search function or Google), yet they're expecting their hand held. Just another day on XDA.

This is not what I started the thread for. I know how to flash, flash using CF-Root and how to flash an original kernel afterwards.. This thread is about finding a solution to my problem, rather than suggesting me alternatives, which I already know. I believe in asking questions, when I don't know something and exploring all the possible options. All I am trying to say is: I have tried what's been done and I didn't like it, so I am looking for a better solution.

Lol those were cursing words....
Let me tell you one last time, if you know this than you are wasting your time....
When you flash cfroot you get root and the cwm manager. When you flash stock kernel back you are now 100% stock.
Cwm manager app left is like any other app you use, you want to get rid of it use root uninstaller or root explorer and remove/delete the cwm manager apk.

I did it myself today and it works just fine - no kernel flash needed, and root is now accessible. The only issue I have is that AdAway didn't seem to be able to write to the hosts file. No matter, I've gone back to AdFree which works okay.

Flashing just the stock kernel will remove the yellow triangle (the one u see when u boot after installing an insecure kernel, like CF's) whilst keeping ur root.

Like i said initially, I want to root my phone without having to force install CWM.
ROOT = Yes...
CWM = NO NO!
I have tried removing it via many options, including ADB commands.. but nothing works. Have u personally tried removing CWM, if so then please share how you did that and that's all I want.
Thanks..

Finally, a proper answer.
Ya, I checked out the option this morning. But haven't tried it yet. I rooted my phone using CF-Root and I have an issue with ad away as well. Anyhow, I was suspecting that this option would give u a temp root, as in after a restart it would go away.. is that true? Also, did it increase your custom binary counter? and what about the yellow triangle?
No yellow triangle because the kernel is unchanged. I doubt the counter has altered either but I don't know how to check it (or what it said before ).
The root is permanent and survives restarts.

Oh.. thank God for u are gonna stop posting, as it is you have been of NO help.. Also, there is a difference between a stock kernel and a stock ROM. Flashing back with a stock aka original aka secure 'kernel' will just remove the yellow triangle, where as flashing with a stock ROM aka firmware, will remove everything.

All the information you need is in this thread, but basically you need to flash a stock 4.0.3 samsung firmware via odin (not mobile odin), do not wipe anything, even factory reset, until you have flashed a new safe firmware via odin.

I'm trying to root and put CM10.1 on my device, but the methods I see involve having ICS or Kies. Kies is not working on my computer, it doesnt launch for some reason. How can I either update to ICS or root 2.3.6 which is on the device now with out it? What's the best way to get CM10.1, please help! All the methods are kind of old...
The methods are old much like the version you are on.
Why would installing a custom ROM need kies? It doesn't. You need Odin or heimdall to flash custom kernel with recovery and then you can flash whatever ROM you want.

What Pirateghost said. Just flash CWM (clockworkmod recovery) through Odin (google or xda search it). From there the rest will be piece of cake.
Or you could just download "drama root". It's an apk file that you install on your phone, run it, and it riots it within a few seconds and installs Super User. It's quick and easy. Next all you need to do is install a custom recovery via Mobile Odin. You didn't even need to touch a PC to root your phone.
