Hello everybody!
I've been messing around, customizing my new SG S II using launchers, icons etc. But I kinda want to take it to the next level and rooting, going for the MiUi rom (http://en.miui.com/).
I have never rooted any android devices before, only playing with jailbroken iPhones. So I know some people on this forum is going to cut me into pieces now, but I really hope someone out there can help me.
I've searching around, unable to find a "simple" guide that can help me. Anyone got a guide out there? Or can help me out, starting from scratch?
Cheers!
First thing I would say is that you have a much better chance of getting a constructive answer if you've shown you've made an effort by providing as much useful information as possible and show you've done the basic research.
If you want to get root for your phone, the first obvious question is what OS are you currently running ?

Well, considering the guy hardly knows how to root his phone, I would hazard a guess that he would still be on Gingerbread. And your being pretty harsh on him, still trying to follow the video we all are forced to watch before we join XDA?
Now Westerhoff, could you please provide your Phone, PDA and CSC by going to your phone dialler and typing in *#1234#. These are needed for Chainfire's CF-Root, which keeps the phone as close to stock as possible, whilst rooting the phone, and adding busybox and ClockworkMod Recovery, which is a life saver for making back ups of your current ROM incase something goes wrong, and to flash a new ROM to your phone, for example, the new Ice Cream Sandwich leaks.
Chris.
#sdunne Sorry for that, but I didn't knew if any information was needed and which ones.
#themadba Thanks, Chris! The Chainfire sounds good, keeping it as close to stock as possible.
Phone: I9100XXLPQ
PDA: I9100XXLPQ
CSC: I9100XXLPD
Just to point out... I am running ICS on my phone.

get this file : http://download.chainfire.eu/152/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.zip
unzip to get .TAR file, put it in PDA section of the ODIN and flash,
Hope you have already installed drivers, if you have installed KIES then its enough, but make sure not running while using ODIN, check it in your PC system tray...
if you are new using ODIN you can get hints here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13712988&postcount=1
only to select TAR file on PDA
Yes, Zaheedahmed is correct. I'm just curious, how does your phone have ICS on it if you don't really know how to root your phone?
Anyway, you need Odin, which is a flashing tool specifically designed for the SGS2: Just type in "Odin 1.85" without quotations into google and the first result should display "Odin - xdadevelopers - XDA Developers." Click on the link and Odin will download.
Now before going ahead with Odin, download Kies: http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/, which is like iTunes for Samsung Devices, the drivers are needed for Odin, but when the drivers have been installed, right click on your toolbar at the bottom of your desktop, I'll assume your running Windows 7, and going to Task Manager. Now find anything with Kies running in the Task Manager, right click on them and kill them.
Kies gets jealous of Odin for being better so it messes up Odin during the flashing process. So make sure you have the drivers installed from Kies and then killed off the Kies Processes.
Finally, lets get the flashing package required to root your phone. Here is the link to Chainfire's LPQ CF-Root: http://download.chainfire.eu/152/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.zip Also make sure you unzip the file to get your .tar file, Odin won't work with .zip files.
Now go ahead and put your phone into download mode. To do this, turn off your phone normally, wait till it is fully off, then hold down the power, home and down volume button until a warning screen is displayed. Then press the up volume button. If the screen says "In download mode. Do not turn off target" then you have got it!
Now fire up Odin when you have installed it, the Kies Air drivers and killed Kies processes off in Task Manager. Now connect your phone to your computer via your micro usb cable. The ID:COM box should go yellow and say ADDED!! in the box at the left hand side. Now make sure that the only options ticked in Option is Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time AND NOT RE-PARTITION. Now click on the PDA button on the right, and this will open your Explorer window up. Find your XXLPQ CF-Root file, and click ok. Then just click Start. In the top left hand corner, one of the boxes will flash blue (I think so) and then Green. The bottom left hand box will say PASSED!! Your phone will automatically reboot.
When it has, go to your app drawer, and check you have something called either "SuperUser" or "SuperSU." If you do, congratulations your rooted. Another way to check it has been successful is to shut down your phone, and hold the home, power and volume up button. If you get into ClockworkMod Recovery, your great!
Post back with any problems (hopefully not), or your success
Chris.
Thanks both. I'm on a business trip right now and I'm back again friday, I will be posting back with the result there.
To the ICS question, I'm from Denmark (EU), we already got the ICS update here ;-)

Okay, so I'm back from my little trip, and I've just rooted my phone. Succesfully!
I must say it was great guide that helped me out all the way and I didn't find my self "scared" or in doubt of how it would all turn out, through out the process. Thanks a lot!
Now, I got some more questions..
I want to go the the MiUi rom? How do I do that?
Also, if i ever want to return my mobile back to normale, without Root, what to do?
Thanks again you two ;-)

There are a few MIUI roms. There is the original, some other ones in the development section. Which every rom you decide to get, download it, put it into your sd card, boot into cwm, backup everything (nandroid backup), wipe everything and flash the rom. Usually every thread has some instructions in it, so just make sure to read it.
You can just use Odin to flash the stock rom to get it back to normal.
Now thats easy.
You go to this site and you shoul download this file miuiandroid_SGS2-2.4.6.zip
Then you put this file in you internal SD card of your phone.
Then you go to Recovery, you make a Backup of your old rom.
Then you go to wipe data and you pick yes.
Then do to instal from SD card and you choose install from internal sd card, then you chose the file you just transfered to you sd card ando choose it. Let to process finish, choose reboot and wait a little longer for phone to start and there you go.
Any questions just put in here!

Okay, so I've done it all and my SG SII is now running MiUi. Thanks alot.
However, most of the apps keeps "crashing" - They stopped working.. Is the ROM really that unstable?
Did you restore apps and/or data rather than clean install them ?
Yea. I have no other apps, than the ones coming with the MiUi rom.

And you did wipe data, dalvik and cache when you flashed the rom?
Just restored from my back-up before flashing, and wiped everything, data, dalvik and cache... Stil ain't working...
Could anyone tell me how to remove rooting from my phone, if I don't find a solution.
Flash a stock rom in Odin.

Flashing a stock rom removes root .

Cheers thanks!
I was thinking that the rom tcunha87 posted, might be damaged... On the official MiUi community i can't seem to find the ROM for SG SII..
NEVERMIND!!! Just found out they are currently only running GB for the SG SII.

I gained root access through superoneclick gingerbreak. It gave me the superuser app and i downloaded rom manager but whenever i try to get to clockwork recovery mode it keeps going to samsung recovery. No matter how many times I hit re-install packages it goes back to the samsung recovery. What did I do wrong? Should I have gained root another way? Should I try to flash back to 2.1? Please help I'm so frustrated.
first off dont use gingerbreak. Just odin back to stock and then root by installing the update package twice and after twice ur recovery should turn blue to green.
here follow this, use the eclair root guide:

no modded 3e recovery..so it will keep going to Stock recovery. You need to do what movie said or flash a voodoo kernel or flash a modded 3e recovery.
Interestingly enough I have the same problem, 100% rooted, super user access no issue, busy box installed, root manager installed.
I upgraded the 2.1 to 2.2 from the kies mini software.
I have been doing a ton of reading and would like to start flashing roms, etc etc.
Through titanium backup, I have un-installed a large mount of apps and have not suffered any problems as of yet, but would like to try some custom roms.
My question is, since I uninstalled alot of things, only apps that are bloatware, and since I can't get my clockwork recovery console to take affect, do I have to follow post #2?
Is this link the right one taken out of the link from post #2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087
Is this the final and correct link, since I do not store data on my phone, and all contacts are on my sim card, and really haven't done any customizations to anything really, can I just odin back and not back anything up? All I use my phone for is calls, txt's and internet, I don't bookmark anything, I don't save txts and call logs mean nothing to me?
I assume I will have to re-root my phone again and do the same procedures, etc etc.
Also as a side note, I am a minimalist type of person, that's why I use linux at home, no windows of any kind (I'll do this procedure at work). Any roms out there that can handle my needs of simply calls, txt'ing and internet without all the other stuff? I don't use GPS, I don't facebook or social network, I don't play games on my phone. I do need however, the use of the camera and video recorder.
Thanks.
I would just follow my advice and odin back to stock its really easy and safe to do. Well if the only apps u have left are bloatware and u dont save anything else i guess u wont need to back anything up before odin. Well the thing its alot easier to root 2.1 then 2.2.
Once ur at 2.1 just do the root process of installing update package twice and after twice ur recovery will turn from blue to green.
follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9375927
the eclair guide
heres the steps for download mode just in case:
power off phone
pull out battery
turn on odin
attach phone to pc with usb cable
now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.
now you should be in download mode and go back to stock with odin from here!
make sure u put the proper .pit and .pda file in there proper places on odin and ur set to go.
Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers
So, is this the right link from the guide you posted, it's amazing, I read so many things today that It's easy to get a little well, brain farty, ya know.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087
Also, I have the kies mini drivers installed, that's how I updated from 2.1 to 2.2 so I assume those will work fine?
BTW, this is the coolest community, props to all involved!!!
Now, I edited my post I think while you were replying, any rom suggestions for a simple user who likes minimal applications but just a well running phone that's not clogged to the gills with stuff?
good noob friendly rom is bionix 1.3.1!

Yep, that seems to be the consensus, thank you
Guys,
A huge thanks, odin'd back to 2.1, rooted, removed the bloatware I didn't want, gonna make a nandroid back, then proceed on to bionix.
I can understand how first time users can get nervous but once done, the process really is not that hard, just takes patience and making sure everything is prep'd before doing so.
I hope I can now help others if you guys don't beat me to it first
My only question is this: when I create my nandroid backup, where does it go and do I need to save it somewhere just in case like a usb key or something along those lines or does it reside on the phone. Only asking cause I have not yet done this step
U can always make a extra backup and store them on ur ext sd
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Okay, so I assume the backup, made from rom manager "backup current rom" gets stored to the internal memory on the phone?
Any special settings or it just does it's thing, should be smaller than normal as I removed quite a bit of junk and stuff.
i did what you said and i still cant get into clockwork recovery screen! i went back to stock rom, reinstalled packages twice and i still have samsung recovery. i know i have root because i get the super user asking me to give clockwork root access!
So I assume you odin'd back to 2.1, rooted have installed titanimum backup and busy box, rom manager, tapped the flash clockworkmod recovery, then "reboot in recovery" choose update. I rebooted via the rom manager menu, not via the phone itself. I had to update twice immediately, didn't reboot and do it again. I saw it installing and it kinda hung, then used the volume down to update again, and was completed.
Also after installing titanium there was an update for super user, which I also installed as well. Did you do this? Not sure if it has any bearing but thought it was worth mentioning.
It worked seamlessly for me, I had to update twice, then purple turned to green and all is well.
Can you post your steps you took to get back to 2.1, how you rooted, etc etc?
It's kinda fresh in my mind as I only did it about 2 hours ago.
my screw up after i flashed clockwork and rebooted i didnt apply package. all is good now. thx for all the info!
Anytime, I found the process to be quite interesting and taught me alot and also removed my fear of installing new roms and such.
Make sure to create your backup through rom manager. When you do, it will reboot into clockwordrecovery and show you the progress, didn't take that long for mine but I removed alot of nonesense from 2.1. This will be your emergency fall back, you might know this already but just making sure, as I am quite a noob at this point ROFL!
Enjoy
ps - I still can't decide on a new rom, I'm so fussy about stuff, ugh.
When I first got my S2 I rooted it to remove some bloatware like orange backup and maps. I was looking to also remove the orange startup and shutdown logos but never found how to do this. Now I want to undo all I've done (not much really) and put it all back the way it was.
Having searched the webs I find all the results about flashing using Odin to a new custom ROM, but I'm sure this is not what I want to do.
I am sure I made a backup of the original files but I can't find them anywhere on my computer. However, I have managed to find some files I must have originally used to root/flash.
Odin
S2Root 1.4.3
GT-I9100_XXKG3_insecure
GT-I9100_XXKG3_original
I have rebuilt my computer since I originally rooted my handset, so when I needed the drivers and installed Samsung Kies it told me I had an update to ICS. I've completed this but Sky Go is still saying my device is rooted and will not work. I've downloaded and tried superoneclick (latest version) but this crashes every time. Opening S2Root, which I'm assuming I used originally, and trying to Unroot it tells me my device is not rooted and aborts the operation.
How can I fix this now?
Thanks in advance

Hi there,
The best way to get your phone back to stock is to wipe cache and dalvik cache and do a factory reset.
This will bring everything back to how it was and you will lose root you can use Astro to back up all your apps and take screenshots of home screens so you can get it back to how it was.
I see you have the Original Kernel file still XXKG3, you can simply flash this through odin back to your phone and you will lose root access and be back to how it was before root. Just open Odin and flash this file in the PDA section of Odin and hit start
Or you can flash an official stock Samsung ROM using Odin..
If you let me know where abouts you are I can send you a link for the appropriate firmware ie Orange carrier branded official firmware, as released by Orange
Also is it Gingerbread or ICS you were wanting to revert to?

Factory reset and wipe cache will never remove root
There are many ways, but for a complete reset to stock, only way is format /system, wipe data and cache, then flash a stock rom in odin. Before, use triangle away to reset counter if needed

I have flashed using kies with the latest orange update so this is what I would like to keep. I want to go back to keeping it original as possible (couple more months and I'm due an upgrade and will be selling this)
Ok so going by Phil's process I need to format system? How do I do this?
Wipe data and Cache I think these two are options in Odin right?
Flash a stock ROM? I have that GT-I9100_XXKG3_original that I must have downloaded when I rooted it, will this do or do I need a different ROM?
If you can fully explain this in a step by step guide with using the ROM I already have, then I can simply connect kies and let it update to latest firmware?
Also, what is triangle away and will I need that? I thought if I flashed to original ROM in the steps said above I shouldn't get that yellow triangle?
Why would I need to reset counter?
I am a complete noob at this and appreciate all the help you are giving me.
Thank you
PS. Obagleyfreer can you post a link to the latest Orange ICS firmware just in case I need that too? Thanks
Having done some more googling I found the clear data and cache is when you put the phone in download mode (volume down+home+power buttons). This is also where I can factory reset the phone. I found this on youtube and the video didn't clearly show what options and folders to select if any. So, can you tell me exactly what options and folders to select please?
I'm assuming the above is my first step, then flashing a new stock ROM. Can you post a link to this please?
The video on youtube showed the yellow triangle went away after doing the flash, but he also had a little usb stick which reset the counter. Is there a way I can do this without that usb thing-ma-jig?
What's the best way to backup all my contacts?
Just do what Phil says.Triangle away is an app to remove traces that the phone has been tampered with,as that can invalidate warranty.You need to learn about cwm and Odin.
Sent from my GT-I9100
I don't know all the steps and exactly what to do, otherwise I would give it a ago. If there is a step by step guide to this, then I'd be more than happy to try it on my own without any questions.
Telling me to format system and flash I don't fully understand some points about this process, hence why I asked for more details, like what options do I chose and what folders do I select? You're asking me to go do something without giving me all the variables, would be like you giving a kid your bank card with pin and asking him/her to take some money out. If you don't tell the person the amount, then what's to stop the kid from completely emptying your account? Same principle applies to my situation, you have told me what to do but not given me all the details I need, so I could simply go and format the entire phone and go through every option and selection without knowing what's its doing and if it's the correct thing to do.
Before you telling me the triangle away is an app, I thought Phil was just telling me to get rid of the Triangle I never knew it is an app, so you see, you provided a final bit of information and now I know what this is, I can go and look for it (google ofcourse), once found I will try it, but post back if I have any questions. Such as, do I use this app first or is it the last thing I do.
I am a complete noob at this and details matter loads to me. Being a computer enthusiast building my own computers, I know every little detail counts when it comes to software/firmware settings. So, try to understand all your help is really appreciated and much needed information before I can start off on my own.
Thanks for the read.
Wipe data and cache is done in stock recovery options as you found, not in download mode
Format /system needs cwm. You can get it flashing a cf root kernel in odin. Another way is to get a temporary cwm like in the link in method 1 from my signature. Once in cwm, go to advanced or partition settings and you find the format /system.
Triangle Away is an app that needs root to run

If anyone has the time i would like some help on how to flash my Note without bricking the phone. Reason i ask, is because i have already bricked it!! Sent it off to mobiletechvideos.com who unbricked it so now i'm back! I love the phone alot just hate stock rom and how slow it is. I would like to use a rom that is able to overclock? I've read about the sauron rom but i can't tell if it's out dated or if there is something better now?
I'm not a noob when it comes to rom's, Htc aria, samsung captivate, inspire, then the htc one x - i've all rom'd them but now i'm stump'd. The first go around, i flashed the rom and everything went thru fine. When i booted up the phone - Nothing changed!? so i find another rom, flashed it and the phone bricked. Tried jig everything else and to no avail. So 65$ later i'm back with the stock rom and it's rooted. Anyhow, here is the info i'm sure you guys are wanting to give me a hand!

Cliff Notes -- Hard bricked trying to flash rom, Main goal want to overclock, battery life not issue. Please help flashing :angel:
do you have a custom recovery ? like cwm or the other one ( ive only had my note a week)
i would start with that..
If I were you (and I fully understand that I am not nor anyone else on here...) I would:
1. Install Samsung Kies and drivers to my laptop.
2. Start Samsung Kies and plug in the phone via USB cable.
3. Update the phone's OS via Kies to ICS. You won't brick it that way.
4. Give stock ICS a chance and if you still feel it's too slow for you (rolling eyes), flash a custom ROM/kernel.

Sounds good sir i will give it a try - Meanwhile Anyone want to take a stab at walking me thru a rom that would work on my phone?
not that i have any idea what i am doing...
0 MAKE VERY SURE THE ROM YOU ARE FLASHING IS FOR YOUR PHONE... FORGET THE WORDS "note" or "galaxy" or anything else..
its the i717d or i 7100 or i 7000 that matters.. if in doubt dont do it..
1 download your cwm compatible rom (like blackstar or others) ( try to pick a recent rom no older than 2 months unless all the developers have jumped ship for the new phone)
( usually ends with a .zip) to your sd card)
2 use "android file verifier " ( from the market) to make sure your md5 hash of the download is prefect
( there SHOULD be a md5 someplace to verify the file download)
then by following info like whats found here.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584250 ( and that i copied and pasted)
boot into recovery by pressing volume up down,and power button at same time ( when your phone is turned off)
Select wipe data/factory reset and confirm
Select wipe cache partition and confirm
Select advanced - wipe dalvik cache and confirm
Select install zip from SD card
Select from internal SD card or wherever you placed it.
Select the ROM file and confirm.
rom will install
then AGAIN
Select wipe data/factory reset and confirm
Select wipe cache partition and confirm
Select advanced - wipe dalvik cache and confirm
boot up wait 5mins for it to boot.. dont touch it for 10 minutes after it boots
then
have fun..
dont forget to wonder if you bricked it during the first boot... that one takes the longest..
i have followed these directions drunk and sober when flashing over 20 times my new note i717d i got last week and im not bricked yet.
its the same system i used with my sgs2 i9100 for over a year and it still works..
but then dont think anything i have said here is right.
i could just be stupid and very lucky that i dont brick everything i touch but will not admit it.
READ A LOT, then READ more.. then ONE MORE TIME READ.. then flash.

Samsung kies
Your device is not supported to update via samsung kies. Walked thru a few xda threads and they are saying update thru odin. Hell if i'm jumping ship to odin again, mine as well do a rom. I'm giving this 1 more shot, if it bricks i'll sell it lol!!
Mobiletechvideos most have had to do something extreme to repair your device, or they gave you one that.... never mind. Well, looks like you need to flash CWM and find a zip aligned ROM on here.

LOL, no they did exactly what was promised. Even people who haven't bricked their device have ran into this issue!
Okay - After reading up and then watching a video on how to flash roms. Which looked exactly like what i had done before time and time again. I'm proud to say i'm ROM'D! I'm now running the blackstar rom and it's very zippy love it to death. Would like to have tried ICS 4.0.4 but took the plunge and happy with the turn out.
I've always came to this site for help but never made an account and you guys are too nice! Hopefully i can/could help someone else out down the road. Until then i'm going to enjoy not being so slow! Thanks!:good:
Its because you have a LF6 modem. Its not the modem that GB had. The Kies upgrade only works if your phone is stock.
You can use the kies emergancy firmware upgrade option.

The original Tom I started with was 2.3.6 since lies wouldn't let me update to ice 4.0.4 I jumped the gun and flashed blackstar. While it is a great rom. I'm thinking of trying more while I got my feet wet.

I've been flashing two roms a day looking for something that supports total recall and underclocking, with a network mode menu that has lte on it.
I think I am out of luck.and I have forgotten some roms so I may flash everything again and keep notes...
It's research not an addiction.

Hello first time rooting this phone. Its a SGH-I777. I used the guide from galaxys2root.com/. At first it didnt work because my computer didnt recongnize my phone. I tried a different computer and it seemed successful until it rebooted. When the phone rebooted it did nothing but stay on the first screen. I still have the ability to get into Odin mode(download mode), but that is it. When i put the phone in download mode and use Odin it allows me to download the "zimage" but after rebooting it is the same exact thing. I have tried the one click root, one click factory restore. Tried restoring it on Kies. and nothing work took it to a store and the guy said he tried but it would stop in the middle of the download the only option i had with him was purchasing a new mother board for $80. Does anyone have a solution that can help me fix my phone.
Before i attempted to root it, it had OS 2.3.6 with kernal 2.6.35.7.
Go to the development section and read the stickies. There you will find stock rooted packages you can flash with Odin.

@jmula,
Enter recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset. That may clear the failure to boot. If not you'll need to flash back to stock and start over.
The yellow trangle is a result of flashing a custom kernel using Odin or Heimdall, and is expected. You are not the first person having problems with the tools provided by GalaxyS2Root. In the future, I would recommend you avoid his site.
And... as suggested, read and study till you understand the basics. Then if you have questions, feel free to ask.

You should be able to enter recovery. Hold down all three buttons, vol+ vol- and pwr, continuously until the phone boots into recovery. It could take 10 or 15 seconds or more. If that is unsuccessful, then since you can enter download mode, you will need to flash back to stock, or stock plus root. That is not just a kernel, but the entire package. Please see the links in my sig for instructions.
The dropbox links in the download repository are temporarily suspended until probably Monday night or Tuesday as someone abused and over-downloaded. But the hotfile links still work.

The next thing I would suggest is to try and flash the UCKH7 full stock package with bootloaders. However, as the dropbox links in the download repository are currently suspended, you will have to download it from SamFirmware. To be able to download, you will need to register for free if you havn't already. Search sgh-i777 in the upper right hand corner of the page, then download the I777UCKH7 version. Let us know if that will flash.
Ok it finally wokred after countless times of changing usb ports. I used the one click recovery. It restroed my phone to 2.3.4 i had 2.3.6. I tried to update by kies to 4.01 and it didnt work. Kies froze. The queestion is how do i safltey root the phone?

Flash a .tar version of a custom kernel with Odin. I always use an old siyah.tar, but that's just me. There are other methods floating around but that's the quickest and easiest for me. I think there's an old entropy dd.tar around somewhere too. But just flash it through Odin and you're good to go, assuming you flashed one for your version of android. If you just want to get into recovery to flash something this works as well.
There may be links to tar versions of the kernels in creepy's sig I don't remember offhand.
Ok since i do not want to brick my phone again where it is just stuck at the boot loop. I tried looking for ways to root and when i tried some of them my phone went back to the problem it had it the beginning. Should i just call it quits or do you guys have a guide?

Give up???
I personally don't think flashing a kernel with odin is the best way to root. It increments the flash counter, for one thing, though I'm not sure how many people care about that anymore. I would suggest that you use the stock plus root package to root the phone with odin. See the links in my sig.
Guide... did someone say guide?

First, to Creepy....you've been a great resource here and I read a lot of what you post and you got me out of the very jam being discussed here. I made the mistake of trying to root via the galaxys2root.com site (actually, I thought it was a different site...was redirected), got the i9100 screen and a boot loop...couldn't go anywhere. I came back here and found resources eventually unrooting my phone all the way back to 2.3.4, then moved to 2.3.6, then the stock android 4.0.3 which updated to 4.0.4.
But I still want to root (4.0.4 shuts itself down A LOT...more than 4.0.3) and I have a Galaxy note 10.1 with JB 4.1.2 and I LOVE IT! I feel on a mission to get rooted and try out some of the JB roms I see talked about here, but can't seem to find the best way to root. I've heard exynosabuse referenced here (no links to it though) and I don't want to use the wrong one and mess up my phone. I've been reading for weeks here and there's obviously a lot of great material, but I'm not sure which material is critical to understand, and which is "nice to know" but might not even apply, and which material isn't even right. Very frustrating.

The ExynosAbuse application is the only practical way to root 4.0.4 without changing base. You can download it as an attachment in the OP of the developer's thread, but read through the thread first to understand its limitations and risks.
Alternatively, you could flash 4.0.3 plus root from the development forum. If you choose that route, please read the thread to understand how to install a custom kernel, which is recommended whether you plan to install a custom firmware or not. The custom kernel will contain ClockworkMod Recovery so you can flash the firmware of your choice if you wish.
There are really several routes you could choose. All of them work. Another would be to flash back to stock Gingerbread plus root. For that see my guide How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash counter!! (link in sig)
Hmmmmm..
Well, I see that their are many, more experienced than me following this thread and my following comment is not meant to jump on the knowledge train here, but............... I had the same event happen as the orig poster earlier today. I had installed an app,I then rebooted and it got a bit stuck on the Galaxy SII, What I did was go into recovery ,cleared the Dalvik cache and that is all I cleared. Then I re-installed the RR Rom .rar, which I keep on my SD, over everything and rebooted, it came back as it was 4 mins before . All I did after, was do a system restore(only) using Titanium BU. So when I see all the "clear and restore this and that" I started to doubt some of the more experienced than I. My 2 cents is, that, if one does not know EXACTLY ,how to correct an issue,leave it for our more knowledgeable brothers and sisters.
If I am wrong ,please except my appology.

I don't know what you're trying to get across here. Yes, restoring a backup nandroid works. Yes, you can try wiping cache and dalvik to see if it fixes an issue. Yes you can restore apps via titanium backup. All these things are indeed true.

And yet you say, "All I did after, was do a system restore(only) using Titanium BU." This may have worked for you, but this is an absolute recipe for disaster, and should not be given as a recommendation.
And further, from what you say, you did not have the "same event happen as the orig poster." Instead you "had installed an app,I then rebooted and it got a bit stuck on the Galaxy SII." This is by far not the same as trying to root with a tool from GalaxyS2Root.

Not at all. I want people to help others here. I want you to help other here as well. But it is important to post only accurate information. Inaccurate information can cause someone to do the wrong action. So I always correct misinformation.
I'm a casual enthusiast who has always rooted his Android phones without an issue but have run into problems with an i717 I recently bought. I've gone through quite a bit of troubleshooting over the past few days and am beaten and must ask for help. When I first bought the phone, it was woefully out of date so using Kies, I updated the phone. All was good and phone was up to 4.0.4 (or whatever the most current version is) and working perfectly unrooted. At that point, I rooted it using qbking77 instructions on YouTube. Per RootChecker I was rooted but noticed I couldn't connect to the internet without WiFi. At this point, the trains went off the track as I tried to install a stock 4.0.4 modem which didn't work, panicked and used Da_G's [Stock ODIN] ROM trying to get back to stock. At this point, I started getting error messages like "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly", something similar about calendar, phone won't work, etc. Also, when I go into recovery mode, I can navigate up and down with the volumes keys but can't select anything with the power key and after about 10 seconds, it goes to an ominous screen with a red triangle and exclamation point. Phone stats currently are:
Android 2.3.6
Baseband: I717UCLF6
Kernel: 2.6.35.11
Gingerbread.UCLA1
In any case I'm really bummed as I just bought this phone on Monday and have already borked it. Any help appreciated and unfortunately I am not familiar with all of the acronyms and nomenclature around here so direct links to helpful post would be useful. At this point, I just want to get to the most current stock AT&T ROM possible. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the response and as I indicated above, I have tried Da_G's methods in the 2nd link multiple times with no success. I'll go through the steps in the first link and see what happens. I am looking for something to wipe the phone completely clean as there is not a thing on it I need. Hopefully these will do the business. One thing that I am not able to sort out is how to tell if a ROM comes with a modem, how to tell from the settings on my phone if a proper modem is installed and if I need to install a modem, how to tell which is the correct modem for the ROM installed. I have read quite a bit on modems but there is just so much information I'm honestly a little confused. Thanks again for your input and I'll post up results later tonight when I have time to troubleshoot.
Looks like you are on a GB rom (2.3.6) with ICS (4.0.4) modem. You can flash a GB modem or use KIES firmware upgrade and initialization to put you back to completely stock ICS (UCLF6)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27869730&postcount=1
Title says GB because that was the latest supported ROM at the time of posting. This will put you back to stock UCLF6.

I had a feeling it had something to do with the modem. I did a search for GB modems and am overwhelmed by the amount of options! I found this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764210 but am unsure what the numerical designators are; EL 26, EL29, etc. Do these make a difference for what I am trying to do? Thanks for posting up and helping out. Can't wait to get home and get this damn phone sorted out.
Forget the modem -- there's no such thing as a GB or ICS modem -- they are independent of the android version.
What you have is the LATEST modem, so that part is OK.
The crazy error messages you're getting are from multiple flashes without cache wipes and system wipes.
The LF6 is year and month of release in samsungese.
Did you install a custom recovery, like CWR or TWRP?
That's your first move toward a good phone.

I didn't knowingly install a custom recovery unless it was built into a ROM I installed as the phone was new to me and I didn't have any data on it I felt I needed to be recovered. I now have the feeling that this isn't the type of recovery "custom recovery" is used for. I can get into "Android system recovery" through vol+/- and power if that is what you are talking about but like my original post mentioned, I can thumb up and down through the options with the volume keys but can't select anything with the power key. I was able to select with the power button upon originally installing the first 2 ROMs so I don't believe it is a hardware issue with the button. How do I tell if I have a custom recovery installed and what are the steps to take if I don't. Pardon my ignorance but I always assumed there was a way to completely wipe these devices and start over as long as you could access the device through Windows. I have nothing on this phone to save and just want to get it back to stock. I wish I could get Kies to allow me to factory reset but I keep getting the "Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update through Kies". I know we are encouraged to read and learn on our own but as in any forum this size, there is quite a bit of ambiguous information available and I am frankly lost and it also doesn't help that I seem to be having multiple issues at once. If the modem is okay, and I don't have a custom recovery installed, what is the next step? Again, thanks to all of you taking the time to help out! I know what it's like to have a passion for something and the ability to help others work their way out of issues, mine just happens to be carbureted Japanese motorcycles, not phones!
Ignore the "your device current firmware" message in KIES. Open KIES, Put your phone in download mode, connect to PC , in KIES, select tools, firmware upgrade and initialization, enter your model (SGH-I717), it will ask for the serial number so have it handy, and continue through the prompts as outlined in the aforementioned post. KIES will completely reset your device to UCLF6. (Recovery, modem, system, etc.) You will be stock un-rooted when complete.

Well thanks to rsfinsrq's advice, the phone appears to be restored! No more error messages and everything seems to be running smoothly but I still can't get internet connectivity without WiFi. I can send/receive texts and calls but no internet browsing, Google Play, etc. Under Settings-->About Phone-->Status-->Mobile Network State is listed as "Disconnected". What could be causing this? I am leery to go poking around with it this soon but would like to get the full use of the phone. Thoughts?

Reading a little more on this, it seems this might be an issue with my AT&T plan and this particular device. I'll run by the AT&T store tomorrow to see if I can get it sorted. If anyone does have any additional suggestions, post them up!

Same spot, go to access point names, hit the menu button and reset to default.
Mystery solved! A trip to the AT&T store and I was told the lack of connectivity was due to my SIM card not being provisioned for an LTE enabled phone and it was "confusing" the network. 5 minutes spent getting a new SIM card and I was out the door, no muss no fuss and my very first positive experience with AT&T customer service. I guess there is a first for everything! Thanks again to everyone who helped out and I will definitely make sure I am a little more educated the next time I root and flash a ROM. Any suggestions for a stable ROM for me to start with?
Glad to hear you got it sorted out!
