I had a SGS2 several months ago and was able to root it just fine. I am now having issues w/ my computer identifying the device (A different SGS2), while connected and using either SOC or GalaxyS2RootNew. I removed the usb drivers I had installed (for Captivare) and while I can mount the phone and read internal and external drives on the phone, when I plug phone in and run either SOC or GS2Root it just says "waiting for device"
Wait, so are you obtaining root through Odin? And are you on 2.3.6?

Well I could do that (Odin) however I have read quite a bit that SOC and GalaxyS2RootNew are much safer. No, phone is on 2.3.4
Oh, I got you. Well, I just used the one click Odin flasher for 2.3.6, and it worked for me like a charm. If you can't get the one click root to work, read up on Odin. If you know what your doing it isn't dangerous at all. Look on entropy's guide or creepyncrawly's to flash for root in Odin

Been flashing for a couple years and I was here when Entropy started. I have a mega post on sgs2 but got away from it a month ago. I am familiar with ways to do it< just wanted to make the newer, safer ways a try.
Could simply be the USB ports. That happened to me. If all fails try using another computer/operating system (hint: linux). Did you get root?
I am having bad issues as well i have flashed back to 2.3.4 using odin, rerooted and now i can't seem to do anything evertime i try and install a Rom like phonebricker i get stuck on the boot screen......please help i realize im a total noob! Im also apply root before trying to do anything but i must be missing some step im sure.

I am running on EA28 firmware. all the threads tell about DL09. any difference?
Not to be an ass or anything, but if you can't figure out how to root the phone, find a stickied thread, or what needs done to flash ROMs, than you should stay away from 2.2 until you can. Odds are, you'll end up flashing something you shouldn't and it will be harder to get back to a working phone. Read through the threads and stickies first and gain an understanding of how to accomplish whatever it is you want to do.

If you are new to rooting or new to rooting this phone, you really need to read the instructions carefully (no skimming!) a few times before starting. It took me about three hours to root and install DL30 the night I got my phone (including time I goofed things up).
Good luck!

You're in the right place, but you really should heed the advice you've already been given and read what's available before you make a costly mistake...
I started with the same stock configuration as you. Thanks to several hard-working devs (adrynalyne; jt1134 and others willing to document steps for us noobs), I'm now running Froyo with all the functionality I've been after since I bought this thing... Honestly, it's like a new phone.
EVERY question and glitch along the way had already been addressed on these forums - it's all there for the searching.
Also, I gather that folks will more patiently assist you if you *do* get into a fix if it appears you're willing to first RTPFM (read the proverbial f#$%^&* manual .
best of luck with it.

Dear all,
I'm having a connectivity problem with my Samsung Galaxy SII and I think I tried everything in all combinations possible that I could find in many many forums (it charges, but is not recognized. I tried: 3 different cables, 2 computers xp/w7, modem/pda code, 100x uninstalling kies and still no connection, no connection with ODIN, updating drivers, removing sd-card, debug mode on/off, mass storage, cleaning USBport with alcohol). Do you know any other options that I might try, or can I just assume my USB port is dead?
Anyway, my real question is the next. Is it possible to root the device in a way without using the USB cable? My from booting from SD-Card or so? I would like this in order to be able to update the firmware in the future with on-device apps, considering the USB-port is dead. For all the options I found in other forums, like ABD Wifi, Mobile ODIN and CWM, you need root on forehand.
It would be great if you could give me some suggestions! Thanks
Btw, I'm nowhere near a service point, and at this point would like to keep the phone with me, since it's working fine besides this problem
Have you installed the Samsung USB driver?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I don't want to jump to the wrong conclusion here.. but have you actually put your phone into download mode for this? ie starting from off.. hold vol down + home button, power on whilst still holding the buttons.
Maybe SuperOneClick ? Don't ask me the how/why/in's & out's of it as I've never used it. Search for it on here.
As far as I know, there is no way to root without using a computer connected via USB.
If the USB port is faulty, and you on stock, which it sounds like you are, get Samsung to repair it.

Guess my USB is dead then and no options to upgrade my firmware exist?
If your phone is playing up/USB appears cactus and you're still running stock firmware/haven't rooted it/messed around with it in any way, why tempt fate ? Return it for warranty service/replacement, and when you get it back & know everything's working, then you can flash whatever rom/kernel you want or root the phone.
Last thing you want to do is root it or flash non-stock firmware & then have the phone die on you & be unable to go back to stock. Goodbye warranty.
You mean ODIN does not recognize your device? If so, make sure KIES is not running at the back. Did you updated KIES? Maybe you can go to previous version...

Maybe this can help - certainly looks like the real deal.
Seems to work for the ICS ROM mentioned in the thread, you should be able to download all required files via the phone, you have root, and then flash whichever ROM you like.

I flashed it with this non-stock firmware. I don't have any warrenty, since I'll just have to pay for the repairs. Probably, they'll use a "water damage" argument for my faulty usb-port, as I read in many other forums.

Root S2 I9100GDDKL1 (India)
Hi,
I would like to root my S2 to install Titanium Backup and setCPU to have better control over my phone (remove bloatware, control battery and performance and such). Not looking to install a custom ROM at the moment.
My handset specs are:
Baseband version: I9100GDDKL1
Running: Android version 2.3.6
Build number: Gingerbread.XWLA1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected]#2
I have been searching for an insecure and original PDA that matches the above to flash my device but have not been successful so far.
I initially started off attempting to Root using DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su but was unsuccessful as my PC was not recognizing my phone.
I hope someone can help. BTW I am a Noob.
This link is to a "G" model kernel flashable via Odin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506954
Just make sure you only flash items for the I9100G and not the I9100 international version.

Thanks a bunch
Thanks yall,
The root worked like a charm. I was able to install all the root tools that I required and good to go now.
I used Odin ver 1.85 and flashed superatmos v.3.0 kernel. I then rooted the device using superoneclick (I could not get the S2 Root to work for some reason - It kept saying that the device was not connected)
Next steps:
Plannning to flash the original kernel back to remove the warning sign on startup - Any advice?
I am sold on the merits of rooting. The flexibility is amazing.
P.S. Could someone help me with re-flashing the original kernel? I tried searching for it over the net but could not locate anything similar.
I was using Samsgung Galaxy SIII Toolkit v1.0 to root my (Sprint) device ( didn't realize v2.0 was out ) and at step 9 when the device was supposed to reboot on its own it just turned off and did not reboot. When I try to boot it I get a quick flash of SAMSUNG and then it turns off. I am able to boot into Download mode. USB Debugging is not enabled.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Update:
I tried downloading a few different versions of the toolkit, and they all seem to check for USB DEBUGGING before starting the rooting process. I'm not sure which version I had downloaded initially (just that it was v1.0) where it didn't... But that part of the process had a NOTE saying to turn it on, restart the phone and plug it back in to continue...
I also tried booting into recovery mode and factory resetting - no dice.
You're in the section of the international phone, not the US-version.
Most probably something went wrong with replacing the kernel, flash your RAM through Odin again and it should boot fine.
Just use CF-root (or whichever kernel applies to the US-version) through Odin instead of using these tools. People always recommend them and I'd had to revive my fair share of devices which were softbricked (that's what your device is) through their usage.

This. Don't trust toolkits. Do yourself a favour and take time to learn how to use adb and on this phone, Odin, properly. It's unfortunate you had to learn why many people are against toolkits the hard way but if you follow the above advice and use Odin to flash a factory Rom for your phone all shall be well.

Mm.. I'm trying an Odin approach now. Initially I tried a Heimdall approach, but it kept failing. :\
Thanks for the response.
Odin and Heimdall both do the same stuff; they use the Samsung firmware update mode to push the device's firmware.
Download your ROM off samfirmware.com if you can't revive it through a simple kernel flash.
You might have to factory-reset your phone tough, hopefully not.

I am currently writing a stock ROM to my phona via Odin. Once I'm back to stock I'll start messing around with it again. I just like touching base after I screw things up, if that makes sense.
I only bought the phone a few days ago so there's not much going on to lose, and I did do a full backup, so I'm not concerned. I already did a reset anyway when I first broke it.
I appreciate your help, and do now see that I'm in the wrong forum. In the future I'll post in the correct forum. Sorry again. Very embarrassing.
Thanks.

It's more a problem for you than for us. If you were to flash a linked zip without really taking care you could hard-softbrick (only revivable through USB-Jig) or possibly hardbrick (only revivable through JTAG) your phone so it's best to stick in the correct section with the correct files =)
I'm trying to return to stock on my Verizon Note 2. I'm currently on AOKP 4.2.2 and have TWRP. I tried to use the Odin method shown by Adam but my phone is not being seen via USB. I've tried to uninstall all drivers and reinstall. Tried again by using Kies as suggested by many.
Can I return to stock just by using TWRP? Are there steps or a walk through on how to do this? Links? I'm thinking I could go into TWRP, wipe the cache, delvik cache, and then factory reset. Then install, "flash" a update.zip and return to stock. Would this work or get stuck?
Also, not sure where to get the update.zip I'd need. I have the OTA stock downloaded from Adam tutorial...not the "alternate" but it's only one file. Would I just zip that, rename to update.zip and try to flash?
Please help!! Again I'm unable to do this through usb plug in so I really need another route.

My phone was a trade off for a iPhone 5.. Best move ever but the last owner had somewhat messed up the phone modding it. I did a full wipe and the previous owner had never done any backups. I wanted to start fresh. All that being said I wanted to start back fresh at stock and then do any modding that I preferred from a new state.
I just flashed MeanBean after reading back through the posts to my question. I realized I had not tried using odin while on a TW based ROM.
I'll see if this helps.

I too am having issues with my Note II not being recognized by Odin on my PC. I know my drivers are installed and I have a good connection with my USB cable/port since when I plug in my phone when powered on, I can see the phone and card just fine. However, when going into Download mode and running Odin 3.07, Odin isn't seeing my phone.
I discovered this while looking into another situation from another thread. While I'm not currently attempting to return to stock and aren't overly concerned about returning to stock since I could probably do it with Mobile Odin if push comes to shove. I am concerned, however, that if I'm unable to use MO and my phone isn't being recognized by Odin from my PC then I might be up the proverbial creek with a paddle.

Yeah, had the phone in download mode and was using Odin 1.7. I have the latest Samsung drivers for WIndows installed, and when I mount the SD card the phone shows up properly. That guide you linked to was one I tried. I couldn't get the phone to show up with "adb devices" either, but that was working before I installed CM 10.1. This stuff is so finicky it's frustrating. I've wasted countless hours on three different phones over the past few years, but overall it's worth it to get a better OS.

I assume your running Odin with administrator privileges, if not try that. Maybe try flashing a different rom, a stable rom could fix the issue. Make sure USB debugging is checked, shouldn't affect Odin but worth a try.

Yeah, tried running as admin.
I just tried Heimdall One-Click, and got the error they mentioned:
Do not flash bootloaders if you see this message:
Code:
Local and device PIT files don't match and repartition wasn't specified!
This message means your partition tables do not match the firmware.
You will need to use Linux to repartition with this firmware package. Install Ubuntu. In Linux, you can copy-pasta this into the terminal to correct the repartitioning problem and then flash bootloaders. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17485056&postcount=23

Seriously? I don't want to install Linux to flash this phone back to stock! No way to do this from adb in Windows or from within a rooted phone? Maybe I'll just return with with CM installed; the phone is basically a wifi device only unless the seller decides to change the IMEI and resell.

Try re-installing the driver for the phone.
I'm not sure if they changed it in the newer versions of CM but after a certain version you actually need the drivers for the Nexus S rather than the Vibrant for ADB to work properly.
(Someone correct me if this is no longer true)
