Been flashing roms everyday since ive been rooted.
Finally found one i want to stay on.
Koud AOSP 4.
This rom is does not have root.
Tried rooting it the way i rooted in the first place with odin
Flashing cf root kernel.
The kernel on this rom is LP6.
So i flashed cf root lp6 with odin.
When it booted up after i got the galaxy s2 startup screen with yellow triangle as normal then the boot animation is supposed to come up.
Well it didnt it just switches back off. So i went into recovery and restored my nandroid backup.
I know how to install the rom i just wanna know how to root this rom as my usual odin method didnt work.

you can use dsixda kitchen to add root, but its seems too much work for just root.
as im sure your not familiar to kitchen.
True, I don't know much about kitchens.

Just wondering if anyone has tried rooting their Canadian Notes. I'd try it on one of the Notes at my store if I could.
Methods that might work:
S2 Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414&highlight=unroot
This is supposed to work with all Samsung devices
Super One Click 2.3.3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
There are a couple other Skyrocket methods that could be attempted too. But I don't see why these 2 methods wouldn't work. If someone could try them out and report back, I'm sure we'd all appreciate it.
Can't comment on the first method since I don't feel like patching in sketchy kernels, but Super One Click is a big pile of fail on this one, as is the zergrush exploit in general. Both just crash out and fail to get permissions.

Hmm... It probably won't be any different for the AT&T version. I'll give every method a shot though.
I'm going to wait to see if someone will release a kernel that already has root more than likely.

I am using a Korean note which is the exact version as the AT&T version
The way to do it would be to flash a kernel which would enable root
I wonder if it would apply to the devices in Canada Nd the Us eversions
Well when it gets here I'm going to use SuperOneClick 2.3.3 and do temp root and see if it works so I don't break it lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Using the Canadian Telus version - SGH-I717D - the latest Super One Click 2.3.3 fails when attempting the zergrush exploit.
Using the S2 Root mentioned above (without flashing anything extra, mind you), it says:
Device Manufacturer: SAMSUNG
Device Model: SGH-I717D
ROM Build: SGH-I717D-user 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD 207 release-keys
...click "Root Device"...
Checking Device Connection...
Device Connected!
Restarting ADB Server...
Checking ROOT Access...
Superuser Request Has Been DENIED! Aborting...
if I remember correctly, many users of the galaxy s series had trouble rooting at one point because of the signature verification in the 3e recovery. So if the note has the same recovery you won't be able to root using super one click until you remove this verification process. Can anyone try rebooting into recovery to check what recovery they are using.

Personally, I wouldn't risk it until you know for sure you can return it. If you have your AT&T version in hand pull the full rom dump so we can root this bad boy.

Hi guys,
I have my note in hand, just gotta run a few errands and I will get root going shortly.
Easiest method will probably be building a kernel with root already included, anyone know of a stock ROM floating about, that would make it a bit easier Reply @ my post in ROM dev forum, thanks

I want to root my Galaxy S2 and have ICS or Jelly Bean or the best possible. I have been reading guides and tutorials on how to do this. I don't want anything to go wrong or brick my phone. One guide said I should get a new kernal, custom rom and a new OS to maximise the performance possible. All of this is getting very confusing for me and I don't know which direction to go. There are also two popular methods of rooting a Galaxy S2 which is using super one click or flashing an insecure kernal and then rooting the s2 using odin. I don't know which method is better but I would like to keep all the data in my apps which can be done using titanium backup. I would also like to have clockwork mod just incase anything goes wrong. The guides also said the best custom rom is by cyanagenmod. Could someone push me in the right direction and tell me what I should do and what I shouldn't.

What ROM are you on right now. Could you please attach a screenshot of the about section of your phone so that its easier to hand you the links to correct kernel? Briefly, what you need to do is to search the cf root thread by chainfire, get the cf root closest to your kernel version, and flash it to gain root access. What exactly would you like? Stock or custom rom? ICS or JB?

Update your ROM, via ROM Manager (If available) and scanning through the forums, every now and again..
I use AnTuTu CPU Master free - Simple, good looking and does the job - Also I'd recommend the SiyahKernel, bei GokHanmoral (See his website: here
Download the latest kernel for your ROM, based on if it's Stock, AOSP or AOKP..

The kernel is the "boss" of the OS, which contains all the drivers and commands.
Imagine an OS (Operating System) as a company,
you have following in the OS (company):
the kernel - Boss
the shell - the office/s
the utilities - the outpost/s
The kernel is, like I said, the boss and tells which part of thecompany has to do what, at which point in time.
The shell is the office and calls everyine, making sure everything is going to plan, and delivering commands, from the kernel (boss), to the utilities and externel sources.
The utilities are your main working area, where you can interact actively with the OS and make changes to it, including changes to the UI, settings and apps (programs).
And that's how an operating system works, I hope I broke it down enough, for everyone to understand

Well, the main difference is, that they are practicly ll the same.
What most people understand as "stock" firmware, is AOSP code, released by Google, and then modified by the different manufacturers, to give their devices that typical (i.e.) Samsung look.
AOSP is the stock (unmodified and pure) Android code, that is periodicly released by Google, to maintain Android and the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).
AOKP means Android Open Kang(ed) Project, kanged code is code, taken from source, and modified, to then be made open source again.
If you take what I write/say seriously (Which you should), then "stock" which, by the way, is branded software, is only a kang, of the AOSP code, so each and every one of you, who has left their device stock, with what they got delivered with, is using a kanged Android ROM.
Hope I could help!

Your kernel version is listed in Settings -> About Device
You can download Odin from Sammobile.com/firmware, or buy Mobile Odin from the Play Store.
Mobile Odin has the abilty to auto-detect what sort of tar you want to flash, so you don't have to be an expert in those things to flash a simple kernel

Beware with overclocking, that's actually the only way a software can fry your hardware if something goes wrong.
In this case, the warranty will definitly not work.
Either you have modified your device and won't get OTA, you need to go through odin. I think only rooting allows you to get them through kies though.
OR
you have to (triangle away and) go back to a stock rom and you will have update through OTA

Wrong - Any modification to the device will "tur off" the ability to Update OTA..
You can update via CWM, TWRP, Odin, Mobile Odin, ADB and so.. And waranty will work in some cases, if you have bought your phone in a shop - it won't work, if you have a contract, just send it in and request a new one..

OK let's clarify something, someone here is giving bad advice.
1.) Don't use ROM manager to flash ROMs or anything else, it can cause issues.
Use it to download them but flash them via your recovery (cwm,twrp etc.) Or with mobile Odin.
2.) If you root your device then it will show as system modified and stop you getting OTAs, we don't care about OTAs on xda, we get it here to flash before 99% of people get OTAs.
3.) TL;DR about kernels: they give you control over your hardware, they allow you to overclock your CPU and GPU, undervolt them too. Also with the S3 we can alter the equaliser settings in our audio chip (Wolfson, great hardware)
Don't worry about the rest, research that in your own time, but DO research it.
4.) Triangle away is an app by chain fire that removes the binary flash count in the bootloader. To simplify, Samsung inserted a mechanism besides the system modified one, that registers if we change anything in our system so if we send it back they can know if we tampered with the system.
Triangle away sets it back to zero.

Come on dude, even if you HAVE modified your device, some ROMs still have FOTA enabled, like with Update Me, ROM Manager and kitchen apps, so what you were saying was wrong - I was not insulting anyone, nor am I "Mind limited". Retarded is the word, btw.
You can use Mobile Odin, to go back to stock, but you don't need to, I'm pretty sure, that as long as the counter states the device is running stock firmware, you can still receive FOTAs.. I'm not too sure, though..
P.S. The OP didn't say he's running stock (rooted/modified) firmware, did he?
Btw, wat is OP?? And is it gd for me to flash cm10 or should i just wait for JB 4.2?? if yes, when and where can I find the jb 4.2 file or package (idk wat its called)And wats the difference between using mobile odin and the original odin that i used before to flash jb 4.1.1??

OP is original post, as in first post in a thread.
As for cm10 well you can always flash it if you want to and when/if 4.2 official drops then you can just flash that, you are never stuck on one or the other.
You can download firmwares from samfirmware.com.
You need a PC/laptop to use Odin, mobile Odin is an app on your phone with the same functionality as Odin.
Its really convenient.

You can use Mobile Odin, to go back to stock, but you don't need to, I'm pretty sure, that as long as the counter states the device is running stock firmware, you can still receive FOTAs.. I'm not too sure, though..
P.S. The OP didn't say he's running stock (rooted/modified) firmware, did he?

Custom ROM != stock ROM when it comes to OTAs, stop trying to cover your tracks by twisting what was said.
On stock and rooted = no OTAs.
Custom ROMs with OTAs means you can get updates of that custom ROM only and they aren't even real OTAs, it just downloads the full firmware as opposed to the deltas.
The jury is still out on whether or not you are "mind limited" or "retarded" as you said yourself.

So TWRP over cwmr?? I haven't tried twrp yet cause I'm fairly new to all this still. I'm rooted but weary of using cwmr to flash roms and end up bootlooping or something and weary of twrp cause I haven't tried it yet.. apologies for the redundancy.

CwM was good but I've been using TWRP since one of my phones came with it already installed. Throw a theme on it and your good to go.

Same issue
I know this is a little late, but I also have this problem. Latest TWRP, and running Padawan v2. Can't change to ANY rom. Even the stock 4.1.2 touchwiz.
Rooted I717
I recently went through the process of trying to update my recovery rom (yes, all rooted up already!).
The problem I was running into was while the tools (TWRP manager, ROM Manager, Goo Manager) all said the recovery was flashed successfully it wasn't.
During the course of my many attempts (which included some hangs, removal of the battery, etc) all of a sudden the updated recovery ROM appeared!
I have no idea what sequence of events resulted in the right behavior, either the tools are not really flashing properly, or there is some black magic (more likely) process which is restoring the recovery ROM.
What's the proper process to change/update your recovery ROM?
Sure yo are rooted but what firmware are you on, unless you're on mdk you can't flash recovery. So if your firmware says me7, mi1, or mj7 you're sol (ull find it under baseband in the about phone setting)

Then you might wanna try flashing cwm manually... Goo manager hasn't worked for me for a while... And ROM manager hasn't ever worked for me...

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. Does one need to go through that process in general on S4 these days?
Also, what's the recommendation TWRP or CM?

Just tried this process to upgrade to newest CWM recovery 6.0.4.7 (currently on 6.0.4.4). COuldn't update via rom manager (again says it flashed successfully but still running old version).
When I run the install-cwm.cmd script in that loki package, I get a permission denied when it tried to run the loki.sh script on my phone.
Any more ideas??
