On the boot up screen it now shows Samsung Galaxy SII
GT - I9100
Everything is running and working fine however the fact that its not a GT I9100 and its showing that really bothers me.

Minor glitch with the ! warning screen. The ! warning screen uses logo.jpg from param.lfs and not logo_att.jpg
To get rid of the ! warning you need to either use a jig or flash a stock kernel.
Once your system image is rooted, you can Odin/Heimdall a stock kernel, then flash a CWM-enabled kernel from the device. I've posted multiple times on other threads how to do this.
New to this Community just Converted from iPhone 4 and have to say I love this phone so far. Have a look around to find how to remove that from the boot screen. Thanks

Not as - ummm - refined
OK, I have the i777 AT&T GS2 or whatever else you wanna call it
Phone is awesome, however, I find that the rooted / CM7-Galaxys2ATT leaves a little to be desired...
Things like...
How do I get Navigator app to accept speech input like it did with original ?
Almost all the driver mode on options seem to be whacked...
Maybe I did something (else) dumb??
Thanks!

Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
I have and i don't see any dis advantages to it so you may as well as it makes your phone a lot faster and you can use different app that require root access. Hope this helps!
I use root for OC with setcpu! To backup my apps when i format my phone i use Titanium Backup so root is almost a must have! I recommend it to eveyone who wants to take the most of your phone.
And its less risky to root samsung devices cuz they can be brought back to factory condition by flashing stock firmware via ODIN.
Rooting isnt as risky as flashing (infact it isnt risky at all until you flash some wrong stuff).
Root your ace and Enjoy

I am 15. I have already flashed my phone with around 13 ROM's. Even bricked it sometimes. But, somehow managed to get it back to life. Chill, rooting is safe until you flash something. And do *NOT* overclock after rooting

when you root your phone, you can either still have the stock rom or you can flash a new rom like cm7 it doesn't necessarily mean when you root your phone you'll have to flash a new rom or kernel it depends on you, but people do flash a new rom/ kernel for a purpose, maybe to have their phone perform faster..

Rooting just installs an app called Superuser. The phone stays the same. But with that simple Superuser app, you can give your phone a complete makeover.
I highly recommend you root, but if you don't want to mess with it or don't know what you're doing, then don't. Or if you're going to, make sure to follow a guide step by step.
WHATEVER YOU DO STAY AWAY FROM ROM MANAGER. It will COMPLETELY break your phone to the point of no return.

Partly yes, but rooting install too the /system/xbin/su binary, he is required to have working root. That means Rooting installs an app called Superuser and /system/xbin/su.

It has to be written into the kernel. As far as I remember, Pershoot stopped adding it in last year. So the answer is probably "no." Search the forums. BTW- it's called "voodoo" not "vodoo" (that will help your search).

I'm telling you, it needs to be written into the kernel. The app (if you're talking about the one I think you are) is just to change the settings.

It clearly states that it will work on "custom kernels implementing voodoo patches". According slack04 our kernel is not patched. And probably this is the truth, since there is no such thing mentioned in pershoot's thread. Maybe ask him whether the kernel is voodoo enabled.!
EDIT: it says that tab 10.1 is not supported, but it will be, read all the way down! And yes, you were right. It appears that certain customkernels are supported, at least that is understood by what it says!

Honestly I would not attempt to flash without a pc handy...due to the saying
"ya never know"
Even though we have the same make/model devices....they are not the same... my GNote may not like a ROM as to yours might...like I trying explaining ... the computer being your safety net if something goes wrong....I would wait or find a friend that you can use a computer, but it is your call, it is your investment.
btw unless someone knows a way to put CWM on the device without a computer....I believe you will need a computer...
Since CWM is a custom kernel, you could flash it from the phone using the Mobile Odin app.
Edit: oops never mind -- you need to be rooted to use Mobile Odin. Sorry for the bad information.
I rooted one phone using the terminal emulator after downloading such and busy box to the SD card. But its harder than climbing Everest without oxygen typing those commands.

So I Bought a Galaxy note (i717) the charger port is messed up on the device. It will charge, but it wont allow any PC connectivity. I have searched google and xda for information how how to root this phone with out a PC (aka using an .apk like framaroot) and I can not find a viable solution. I have tried Z4Root and Framaroot and neither of them work. Do you know of any other ways to root my device with out a pc? If i dont need a Root to Flash Could you point me in the right direction to find that information I haven't put CWM on the device yet because I Cant Root so I cant MobileOdin ect.. you see the picture lol. Is it possible to use an Update.zip file? or use a formatted SDcard to flash it like I did to Flash NookColor1?

I have rooted my phone:
1. You can block adds in apps with AdAway
2. You can make nandroid backups in cwm and backup apps + data with Titanium backup
3. You can increase volume with Volume+
4. You can wipe or freeze apps and widgets that you do not use.
5. Yoy can flash mods and themes for odexed roms
6. You can flash custom rom`s or kernels.
I you want to unroot use Triangle Away to reset the flashcounter , flash a stock rom and do a data/factory reset and your back to stock
And 7. You can use the Six axis app to wirelessly connect your PS3 control and therefore utilizing the usb out to connect via hdmi to play games on your big screen

if u use triangle away and restore your stock rom,.. your warranty is intact,...
damaging your phone depends on how you follow the given tutorials,...

Google rooting and weigh the benefits. Decide for yourself if its something you want to do. Lots of average users will never need root. If you find yourself NOT being able to do tasks you want, then root.. if you don't have a need to or are questioning if you should, then don't.

I'm more of a little girl that doesn't want to void my warranty and afraid of bricking since I'm a klutz at modifying. Unless you want to potentially unlock your phone's capabilities then feel free to do so however if you aren't a North American user than your phone would most likely be void of warranty because I've read an article here somewhere made by xda that rooting doesn't void your warranty (North American users only) and I'm a south east asian user lol. For experts they feel free to do so since it's their expertise but average people like me money is hard to come by and I don't want to risk bricking it lol.
You can't really brick it rooting. Its flashing firmwares and ROMs/Kernels that can potentially brick you.. but nowadays it doesn't happen all too often. And there are methods to safeguard this. JTAG is available too for the S3.

I'm rooted ut here is my take on it.
The only 2 reasons I rooted was because I wanted control over my CPU settings/create screen off profiles and to change the android green off my notification bar.
Other than that, the phone was sweet **** sweet before rooting. you can already uninstall/freeze apps without being rooted and the battery life was VERY good before as well. I have flashed 4 Roms and non of them perfromed as well as the stock kernel IMO. I flashed back to BEAN R2 because it has the stock kernel and gave me the best battery life. no theme, running my setcpu, nova, all notifcations and toggles turned off that dont need to be on and I get about 17 hours with 30%+ when I plug back in when I go to bed.
There are a lot of things you can do when you root, but this phone is very good without. I have had other phones in the past that just weren't up to par unless they were rooted and I dont find that to be the case here.
