Firmware Version
2.3.5

I am wanting to completely root my phone and install a clean slate of Gingerbread on it.
I've tried Z4Root, (I was able to root my phone with it back in 2.1), and have also tried Super One Click.
Nothing works now that I have Gingerbread and I can't find anything TO work.
I am praying to the xda gods for their wisdom and knowledge to help me with this problem! I have been at this since 9AM, it is 2PM. What can I do??
i dont use sgs, but i do know cfroot kernel or any other kernel based on cfroot can help u out.

JollyRogersOne I have the same problem If you find a way please let me know.
Same Problem
If anyone comes up wit a good link or video that will be very helpful
I have this same phone and took a look at the links in the second post. However the kernel numbers don't seem to be following the same format as the links in the thread.
Has anyone had any luck rooting this kernel on the c spire galaxy s showcase?
I tried Odin3 and it messed up my phone and I had to go get a new one.
I'm also looking for help on this as well.
SuperOneClick
I'm having the same issues. I have tried SuperOneClick and it stops on step 6.
I'm having the same problem too after updating to 2.3.5. Super one click freezes on step 6.
Same issue with my CSpire SGS running 2.3.5. I do think that speed and battery life are improved over 2.2, but I miss my root.

If you used Odin, I doubt that it messed up your phone. What did you try to flash with Odin?

Did you guys do the official update with Kies? Send me a PM for a way to get a rooted ROM on your Showcase.
I did so the official update from C Spire. I'm not interested in a custom rom I just want to root my phone so I can use wifi tether with my galaxy tab again.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've ran several custom roms on my phone, but would like the option to just run stock with root so I can remove all of the bloatware from CSpire.
I've also had various issues with some other roms, ranging from no auto-rotate to glitchy in-call audio.

(Same method but with consolidated attachment and directions)
Cannot figure out adb.
I've tried all things to reroot after gingerbread update. Now I'm here to try this method. I cannot however figure out the command process. Can someone please be a bit, or a lot, more explanatory. I'm probably the most noobish person here.
Thanks!
I want stable gingerbread with root.
I'm on gingerbread 2.3.5 c spire.

I have odin and do not know how to use it.

This worked great. I did have to reboot (as you always should...I just get impatient sometimes...) to get everything flowing smoothly. It scared me on reboot because I thought it was getting hung up, but right before I pulled the battery it went to the screen lock. Phew.
Thanks guys!
Im not able to get Odin to recognize my phone. Is there another way?
I suck at this. I want to root my phone but can never do it right. I have the C spire Samsung Galaxy S with 2.3.5. Can you please help... email me please, [email protected]
Hey guys,
Anyone of u knows how to remove the exclamation mark on the screen after booting (galaxy s2). I rooted my phone and flashed the rom. Each and everytime i boot my phone, the logo comes out. I need a very simple but home made solution to solve this problem. Its annoying to see that logo. I read somewhere about this but i couldn't find it anymore and what is the technical word for the device to get rid of this logo. Please enlighten me guys. Thanks.
You are thinking of a usb jig to remove that and reset the counter.
You can also remove it using without any devices by following the instructions in the cf-root thread, but that leaves the counter untouched.
Or if you are on a ICS based rom you can get rid of both with the Triangle away app with the click of a button.
you need a usb jig (hardware service mode starter)
if it doesn't work, you need to flash older firmware with odin
and then use the jig again. finally flash the prefered rom with cwm
EDIT
didn't see shadowofdarkness had already answer
Thanks

Thanks. What is the exact name for the "triangle away app"? i couldn't find it in the market. I am using XXLPHXX 4.0.3 wanamlite 8.9 Rom. So i guess its a ICS based. hehe.. sorry i am quite a noob... but yeah..

Hey thanks man. well... i just started this rooting **** actually 2 weeks ago. I bought my galaxy s2 for about 9 months.... and it was really annoying because it takes ages for samsung kies to released an new official update. Can u believe i was still using gingerbread 2.3.3 before this. Man.. i got even more fed up when i saw my brother's new phone galaxy nexus which uses ICS 4.0 Rom. So i said to myself... thats it. i am going to root this stupid S2. hahaha.
Then i started to root and change to 2.3.6 which is great but still the same interface as 2.3.3. Just performance wise better. I need a new nice interface like the ICS 4.0. so i flashed my rom with wanamlite 8.9 which is a damn good rom. i love it. u guys should try his rom. If u guys know a even better rom, let me know. Thanks

No you wont have to do anything else, it will just root your phone for you, your apps, settings, data and ICS will all be the same.
ur phone wont be resetted. it will be the exactly the same but u would hv got SUPERUSER access

thank you for the quick replies
one more question though, once i have rooted, if orange release another fw, say 4.0.4 and i update, i know i loose root access and would have to root again.
once i installed a new version though what happens to the installed apps that are 'root only' once i put the updated os on, would it mess them up until i rooted again?
i hope i have explained that how i mean it to sound
if u update ur firmware, u would loose root and without root access. those root only apps wont work

Welcome to the world of being rooted, it's a good world. Enjoy
Hi,
A couple of months back I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 using Odin 1.85. My phone is a UK I19100, on Three. Today, I wanted to unroot it, so being a fool, I followed the guide at galaxys2root. com
I have downloaded firmware for a different carrier, and when starting my phone, I have error messages such as 'android.process.acore has stopped working' and I find that the 3 store has disappeared. Also, the phone no longer works, being extremely slow and unresponsive.
Please could someone guide me on how to get back to the latest official Three UK stock kernel and firmware for the SGS2.
Thanks guys, much appreciated, really stuck here.

You don't have to flash stock firmware to unroot your phone...
You can flash any country's firmware you want, as long as it's for your device. So I suggest flashing the latest I9100XWLPX firmware.

Be careful in the future, I don't trust any site other than XDA

Thanks for the link and your quick reply. Will this work for a UK Three SGS2? I don't want to install something that will mess it up
I installed this firmware: I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5 before, and it ruined the phone, the three store had gone, the phone unresponsive, whenever touching an icon it crashes and needs reboot etc.
Also, will this firmware put it back to original factory software, ie. stock everything ICS and unroot?
Sorry, kinda a newbie at this.
Thanks,
