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?

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.

Has anyone tried to create an update.zip able to be used via the stock 3e recovery??
I don't know if it's possible to root this way but if it is it would be very handy.

Yes, I have. In all possible sequence possibilities (first phone, then start ODIN, other way around, from without battery, etc.). No any connection however to ODIN.

Even tried that, I always get a "signature error"
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...
SGS II - XDA
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.
Thanks all for the comments!

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.

Indeed, ODIN does not recognize my device. I killed all of the KIES application(s) with task manager. I indeed updated KIES, but also tried previous versions.

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.
Have fun.

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.
Hi,
I desperatly need your help yesterday i wanted to flash a new firmware on my samsung galaxy s2 and since i'm stuck on download mode after figuring out how to get it unbriked but i cant do more, it wont go in recovery mode at all and odin doesnt install any firmware at all it gets stuck on SetupConection and wont go any futher, the only thing that does work is when i flash a Kernel on its own, but that just takes me to SAMsung galaxy s2 boot up with yellow triangle and doesnt go any futher, have to keep taking battery out, pressing volume keys usb plugged in and battery back in to go into download mode, please help it's only 3 days old

looks too much mess up and you took wrong step in panic..
You should not have flashed a Kernel to get rid of bricked screen (phone!PC), you have to get download mod and falsh complete ROM that time...
you told your Running ROM was 2.3.6 but KI3 is an old version...

Try to use Heimdall. Maybe that works.
You say you dont have Kies. Download kies. Run it and it will install the drivers. Close Kies. Make sure its not running in the background. Install your original firmware that came with the phone using Odin. If your in download mode, your not bricked.

Now my computer does not recognize it either. ive tried re-downloading the drivers and downloading kies. and still nothing.
so my question is, can i finish rooting with out a computer and if not, what can i do?

I've assumed you followed direction got a rooted kernel using odin then install superuser, from that then use odin again to flash cwm.
Are you in download mode on your Note?
"1. Turn off your phone and uplug it. Take the battery out of your phone, put it back in, and hold the volume down button and power button at the same time. Keep them held down until the phone starts buzzing and you see the Samsung name.
2. At this point you are either in download mode or the phone will tell you to hit volume up, at which point you'll be ready."
IF not working, recommend starting from scratch
Use this first to get back to stock

Try using a different cable or different USB port our maybe even a different computer and see if you can have a different setup recognize your phone. In the man time, read the tutorials at the top of the general section to get up to speed if your friend is not there to help anymore.

I don't think he has super user so he might not be able to delete it. If he can't connect at all and odin doesn't recognise then he ia in a tight spot. If you can get into cwm by holding the power button and vol up and down, try wiping everything factory cache div. Cache then fix permissions. If that and the drivers being ddownloaded did not work i sure hope you have an att warranty or have only had the fone for 30 days. If you take it back to the retailer and act like its stock they will never know or care. Try to get a guy who is an iphone fanboy if you get and android wiz you could be out of luck

this is the rason why u dont let friends do this kind of thing for u!! it is something u must learn..u may have bugs here and there and if u have no clue how to fix it ur %[email protected] so i would say undo all that he did then start fresh...use odin 1.85exe go find the att recovery b4 file plug in to odin click pda find where u put the recovery file that u DL put it in the pda box then u should be good to go
Ok ill make this so simple. You need to start over from the top. I would suggest going on YouTube search for how to root the Att galaxy note. Just watch it. Its a good way to learn odin. Then search Att galexy not recovery. This way you have a visual step by step. That's how I did it I watched it then followed along. I read all the comments (if any) in the comment section. Trust me it so much easier that way cuz you can stop and compare screens and such or stop and replay parts that u need.

If you can't access a computer.
I'm writing this because as I understand it, your friend was SUCCESSFUL at getting CWM on and just not root. If your phone is working otherwise, then try this.
With the phone turned OFF
Hold down BOTH volume buttons and turn the phone ON
When you see the Samsung logo appear LET GO of both volume buttons.
If you have CWM installed right you should be at the CWM menu, offering various options, just select REBOOT SYSTEM and post back here and let us know if CWM is in fact installed correctly.
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.
Thank you in advance for any help!

I read through that one too. Tried all of that. ODIN will not work. My phone is not being detected through USB. Again i've tried all the reinstalls of the drivers etc.... Tried different original cords. nothing.
I need a way to return to stock through my device. Maybe load to the external sd and flash. Can this be done?
Not sure what file to flash though.
If odin isn't seeing your phone then something isnt installed properly. Probably drivers. Im not too sure about it because the only time I used odin was when I first rooted and I haven't touched it since.
The only option I have heard of for doing it from the phone is mobile odin. I dont know much about it, never tried it. Here's the link for it

Tried all of this as well. I installed kies and tried that route as some were saying the drivers may work through that method. They didn't so I tried uninstalling. I was in DL "odin" mode when trying to run odin also.

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.

If odin isn't seeing your phone then something isnt installed properly. Probably drivers. Im not too sure about it because the only time I used odin was when I first rooted and I haven't touched it since.
The only option I have heard of for doing it from the phone is mobile odin. I dont know much about it, never tried it. Here's the link for it
This is the free lite version that requires more work on your part

This is the paid version from the play store and is supposed to be much simpler

Mobile Odin Pro did the trick. It incorporated root saver so I didn't loose root when I returned to stock. Great advice!! Now I can start fresh and not have to worry about the mess I had from the trade.
Thanks again!

Glad it worked. And as an added bonus now I know if I do ever have problems and dont feel like spending the time to figure it out, I can just use mobile odin.
Hi guys,
I'm very new here and also a noob when it comes to rooting and flashing custom ROMS. I was following the instructions of Archidroid in installing his CustomROm Archidroid. The instructions are easy to understand and very helpful. I was able to download his ROM and put it to my externalSDcard as recommended. I downloaded the lates Odin and Philztouchrecovery as instructed and put it on the PDA field. Then I was successful in putting my phone to download mode. Now here's the problem after I replugged my phone to my computer, nothing happened! "<ID:0/003> Added!!". >>This message did not appear on the message box of Odin. The last message from Odin is leave CS mode. What am I doing wrong?? My phone is the Galaxy S3-GT-I9300. And it hasn't been rooted yet. If there's already a thread about this please let me know so I can get to it, I tried searching but I can't find the answers that I need here. Please help!

Have tried all three USB ports in my laptop but still the same and yes, I am in download mode. One thing I can add and I don't know if it has anything to do with it is, on the top left the custom binary is a NO. I'm really new at this. One more question if my phone is being recognized by laptop when I plug it in like it appears as a portable device on My Computer it means that the USB drivers are installed and correct, right?

custom binary has nothing to do here buddy. first you need to root the phone using CF-ROOT method. and flash the philz recovery.zip from CWM recovery that comes after flashing with CF-ROOT. later you will be able to flash any custom rom through philz recovery.
step1: open odin
step2: put phone in download mode(volume down+home+power)
step3: connect phone via usb
step4: odin recognizes the phone
step5: cf-root and the following methods stated at the beginning

I think I know the problem now. Odin is not recognizing my phone when its on Odin mode. I tried 3 different USB cables already but just the same. I tried to what you said but Odin is simply not recognizing my phone.

do you have kies installed on your laptop? if yes, stop it running in the background from task manager. if this is not the problem, try another laptop or pc.

I checked the task manager and KIES is not running and its not even installed. I guess I need to try a different laptop or PC.

yes you need to. also try restarting your laptop.
Sounds more like no drivers installed. Try installing kies to get the drivers and then ensure it's not running in the background. That should solve your problem.

Do all of the above and if none of that works try older version of Odin....I have had problems before with newer version of Odin and found that some of the older versions work well.
