Is there a way to currently root your sgs2 all from your phone? (Without a PC)
For example; Rooting +CWM>install kernel+ new rom/baseband
phone for starting base kk6/2.3.6
Just wondering. I wanted to make a powerpoint about how to root android phones, but I think each phone is so specific that a general method may not be applicable?
Also that most phones need to be flashed via PC for starters? (yes/no?)
I figured generally speaking:
1: Look for your phones model number, android version and baseband,
2: download and flash correct rom (renaming the file if necesary)
3: with phone rooted install ??? (rom/kernel/new bb/cwm or whatever)
I don't know if I can do this as a "general" powerpoint for android, but I can do it specifically for SGS2; however, not everyone has an SGS2
ideas?
uh download rom manager to install cmw and just flash a rooted rom ?
all downloaded from your phone ....
I'm 99% sure that cmw needs a rooted phone to even install from rom manager but then again it actually might not ..

Please read the OP. How is rom manager working with ICS relevant to this if he's starting from KK6 GB?
Maybe mobile Odin can work but idk if you can use that without root already on the phone. I had to root mind from download mode using a pc with Odin.
Seems like a cool idea to explore.

When I use rom manager to nandroid it has always frozen upon turning off. Many other serious fails too. I only use it to rename my backups done from recovery mode. Otherwise it's just wasting space on my phone

Mobile Odin requires root.
AFAIK there's no current way to root an SGS2 without a PC. I found SuperOneClick to work just fine, doesn't require you to flash using Odin, but it does take some patience and a few tries, and a PC of course.
I could be wrong of course, please correct me if I am.
I read you can run android sdk/adb from usb stick. Just need the "final" folders installed. Any tips?
There's a method to root + install new kernel from adb cmds

I never do backups unless fresh power off then booting recovery , no rom manager ..
i just was suggesting possibly with it installed cwm can install without a pc.
the only caveat was if root access required to install it as I don't remember and can't think of any way rooting is possible without a pc EXCEPT installing a pre-rooted rom
*which is not possible on sgs2 with standard sammy recovery correct

rom manager does not work to install recovery on the GS2 i777 like it does on your skyrocket

uhhhh....
COMPLETELY different phones, COMPLETELY different hardware. NO....you cannot use rom manager for the i777 unless you are working solely with AOSP builds....in which case you would ALREADY have a CWM kernel
this has been the case on all samsung galaxy s line except the skyrocket/t989. there is no doubt that it simply DOESNT work from stock. its not speculation, its fact.
things are different over here dude. the i777 is pretty much nothing like the i727 aside from sharing a name and touchwiz....

greetings all,
i have a new phone and unfortunately the phone came with a rom of our service provider t-mobile who but some custom apps witch can be only removed if the phone has been rooted.
of course i did some research on how to root my device but i get stuck and have no idea anymore how to root my device. i made luckily a screen capture.
could please someone help me how to root my device and send me links of file that i need during the root proces.
many thanks in advance.
Those pre-installed apps are part of your firmware, which is branded. If you want to get rid of them, flash one that isn't branded. And if you want your phone rooted too, just go with a custom-ROM.
If you need help with it, tell me what country you live in and what language you want your UI in.

you mean just instal a custom rom using odin?
This depends on your desired outcome.

i want to use cyanogenmod or miui, i have no idea what the difference is between them but it seems to nice.
CyanogenMod is as close as you can get to the "naked" Android. It's like the nexus-series.
MIUI is like a mix of Android and iOS. Very simple, yet powerful and allows a lot of customization.

many thanks for explanation, so in my case i should probably choose for miui, so how do i get it on my phone?
First backup your data. You will have to factory reset your phone. What language is the UI in? I assume Dutch, but I'm not sure.
You can already download Odin and the Siyah-kernel (the tar version).
Edit:
Just checked your profile. ;-)
You can find ether latest MIUI on
www.miui.nl/
Tell me once you have all the files.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
i downloaded the Siyah-kernel and also download the miui rom from miui.nl.
so what do i need to do next?
You need either Odin or Heimdall. In your case I'd go with Odin, as it's simpler to use and you won't need it much. So, download Odin and get the drivers working. Close KIES competely, put your phone into download-mode (turn off, hold volume-down & home, then turn it on) and connect it while Odin is running. It should detect your device.
I'll post the further instructions once you got everything working so far.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
i am ready
When you are ready with Odin, make sure that Repartition and flash lock are NOT checked.
Auto reboot and f. reset time shall be.
Tick the "PDA" box and select the Siyah tarball. Then hit start.
When the phone reboots immediately hold volume-up and home until you are in ClockWorkMod.
Go to mounts & storage and mount the USB-storage. Put the MIUI-zip-file on your device, then unmount the USB-storage.
After that proceed like this:
Wipe data
Install zip from sd-card and choose your MIUI zip.
Wait till the installation is finished and reboot.
If your phone does not boot, go into ClockWorkMod and install again.

After 6 our of putting all the information across the web together so i could try to root the S2 GT-9100 i got it working. So i want to give you the credits, there your post was my main lead of info to get started. I have the MIUI: Miuinl SGS2-1.12.30 Signed version installed, after i routed the phone through ODIN with: Siyah-v2.6.7. My Baseband version is still the I9100BOKJ1 (no idea what is means), but got it working now. It is a blessing, will thanks on the Miui site as well for this great piece of work. Thanks, and for the other new visitors: it works, just read from the beginning and have patient.

GingerMOD is also very close to pure AOSP. I'm actually considering going to it because it supports TV-Out via MHL, whereas CyanogenMod does not, as far as I know. Could be worth checking out for you.
use another kernel
hi it have worked for me too, but i have a question, could i use another kernel with a stock rom is this possible, im not that smart and have for the first time a smartphone the same as karamanoglu, i just got lucky to got my phone rooted, first i did a hard reset and it got in a loop by rebooting and going to the tmobile logo back and forth, so i got frustrated and decided to root it, but i dont like the custom rom and want it back to the stock rom, but am affraid it will get a brick with my luck. can i use the kernel bokg2 and with the original stock rom from samsung but still rooted and can delete the apps from samsung if i want, sory for the bad english.
I am a complete noob when it comes to Android devices and I would like to root my SGS2 but I'm scared that I will mess up and 'Brick' my phone. Also what are the Pros and Cons of rooting a device?
Basic info of the phone...
Android build : Gingerbread.XWKI8
Version : 2.3.5
Kernel Version : 2.6.35.9-1900XWKI8-CL616395
[email protected] #2
Use the latest version of SuperOneClick. You'll need some drivers, install KIES to get them.
The best way would be for you to go to the forum section dedicated to your device instead of asking in the wrong forum.

So, I see someone already helped you.To prevent this question being asked again, cuz its probably going to, the easiest way is flashing a CF root kernel with Odin [ the only thing you have to do is find the suitable version, turn the phone into download mode Volume Down + Menu + Lock button, then press volume up I think.
Connect the phone to the pc via usb, double click on odin, wait till it recognizes ur phone, load the CF root in the pda tab and click flash. You wait a minute and you are done.

Gtg...good to go......cf root will install clockwork mod on your phone....meaning u wont need to use odin on your pc to flash another rom(unless its a tar: file......with cwm you flash using your phone by going in to the cwm app and selecting cwm recovery.....its much quicker than odin flashing.just make sure u make a backup before u flash

There are some good custom roms on android original development forum.
I personally use italian custom rom, gives you good battery life and looks. for more info please see this post "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162715"
you can always change the rom if you don't like it as long you have rooted your fone and you have CWM (Clock work mod) installed..
Happy flashing..
don't forget to press thanks button,,
You can use the CF-ROOT method. For me it has been the easiest, safest & quickest I have found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
If you dont find the exact version of your firmware, dont worry, try to use the most similar. It should work. As they say in the post, if you use more than 30 seconds in getting root, you need some practice.
Hi Guys,
I know this is completely against your religion, and i deserve a good hazing, but honestly I just want to be pointed into the right direction. Yes I have searched for terms and read some guides but I am a five year old with this phone/forum. Can someone tell me where to start with getting my att g note running better than the crappy firmware att dumps on it?
Do you root it first? then load a rom? im on a mac, is this possible? Is there a way i can make a "save state" of my current setup and be able to revert back to it if all hell breaks loose?
Please, please be gentle. Im too lazy/busy/retarded to try and start from scratch and learn this whole process, just want someone to hold my hand and tell me what to do.
re
First root,
then install CWM (clock work mod). With this, you can basically create a screenshot of every single file and how it was place. so if you do a backup and brick the phone you can do a restore and it will be as if nothing ever happened.
Next I would go for a Custom Rom / OC Kernel. This is where you use odin. If you reach this point search the forum a bit more and you will find your answers.
good luck!

Ok Got the terminology down. New problem. Im on a mac, no access to a pc. Is there not a mac version of odin? What do mac users do? I see this other software called heimdall, but the general consensus im seeing is "f*** heimdall".
heimdall does not work as of now on this phone; I used it constantly on my previous phone, but, its a no go on this one
I am too an all mac house, and, the only way to root this phone as of now is via Odin, and, there is no mac version of Odin
you have to either get hold of a windows pc, or, install windows on your mac via boot camp, or, run Parallels or VMWare on your mac, install windows on it that way, then install and run Odin to root your phone.
If you don't understand what I just said, then you shouldn't even be attempting this; maybe you live near someone who is more phone adept than yourself, and can do it for you?
After you get setup.
You might want to get this...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&hl=en
Basically the mobile version of Odin, not that you will need it after you get CWM, but it might come in handy.
mobile odin is not compatible with our phone....as of a week or so ago when I tried it..
And, you need root to use Mobile Odin

Have you purchased an external sd card yet? That definitely makings things easier. I didn't have one initially and every time I flashed a ROM I kept erasing all the backup data I had. Now I keep it on the external sd card so that doesn't happen.
I love Saurom Rom, but now I just moved over to Team Perfection ICS Rom and for me it works flawlessly.
Both Saurom and ICS produce roughly the same Quadrant Benchmark scores, and with Saurom you can over clock. My goal was to eliminate any lagg, and both will do that for you.
I've been at this for a month now and have learned quite a bit on this forum. Definitely spend some time on the Noob section .
Saurom apparently is a Canadian based ROM, and because of that, certain apps were not available to me in the app store because of that. The ICS ones didn't produce that issue.

Is this something that I may have done wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

You can't install apps using Chrome browser from your PC ?
Why not use the Market (play store) app that's already on your phone? You have to have a Gmail account set up on your phone to access the market.

I've been using my browser to install apps on my phone since I got, it's just started having this issue since I flashed an ICS rom, so it's not that I don't know how to do it, because I do, this is an issue with the rom.
But I will take your advice instead of try to argue with you, can you link me to your rom?

The ROM you flashed is a very outdated leak that was known to be riddled with bugs and performance issues.

Hello all, I hope this is the right place to ask this, but I recently crossed over to Android devices from BB so I'm still trying to figure out my way around things. Today I flashed ICS Android version 4.0.3, kernel version 3.0.8-perf-i717uclc5-cl281649 and build number iml74k.144 onto my Note and the installation went fine, had no problems at all, but now I can't install apps from my web browser(Chrome) onto my Note like I could before the flash. USB debugging is on.
Is this something that I may have done wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

So I downloaded the Seraphim First Flight, but I have no idea how to flash it onto my device, I'm assuming you can't do it through Odin?
You better stop! There are so many instructions about rom flashing. Study up!
You can ruin your phone with the click of a button. You sound close to it.
It's really not that hard...
0. Download Rom of your choice to somewhere on your external SD card.
1. Use Odin to flash the latest version of i717 ClockWorkMod Recovery (aka "CWM" )
2. Boot into CWM (use 3-finger salute method to boot into recovery).
3. Clear cache/factory reset
4. Install Rom of your choice that you had saved to your external SD card.
5. Reboot and enjoy .
But yeah, if any/all of the above confuses you, then you REALLY need to spend many hours reading before you go any further.
As for roms, I recommend dman's (as already mentioned) or ICS Perfection -- both have lots of active support...
Good luck.
+1 listen to dman he is D-MAN. you cant go wrong with anything made by THE COLLECTIVE...... any Collective rom will set you straight, just read all instructables .

Him mentioning USB debugging immediately made me think he was speaking about side loading APKs.
If you're trying to install apps downloaded from sources other than the market, for future reference, you must check the "unknown sources" box under settings>security.

Are you having jellybean or higher Android? In that case you need to uninstall ChainFire 3D from ADB or Recovery. If JB+ OS, tell me and I help you. Do you have computer and USB cable?

Wrong version of the phone. He has the AT&T model.
OP - Do you know which update you were / are on? If you have 4.3, then you CAN NOT downgrade without risk of really getting into trouble and possibly hard bricking it. If you have not taken the 4.3, and you want to continue to modify your phone, don't install 4.3.
If you have taken the 4.3 update, you'll have to follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
If you have not, then follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387423
and stop at 4.1.2.
how do I check the version?

sorry I'm a noob I used this tutorial http://phonerebel.com/how-to-root-a...-4-1-1-verizonattsprintt-mobilei9300-version/
Well, ok, but you didn't answer my question about the update...
And it doesn't help to tell me what guide you used without telling me which file you downloaded.

Sorry i don't know what version it was but I downloaded the i747
I'm asking what software version is ON your phone?
And you probably have the file still on your computer, I'd imagine, to get the name...?
It said in the video 4.1.2 or something like that

Version
Okay so its 4.1.2 now i followed the tutorial and just awaiting on the download! Wish me luck :highfive:
I am not sure how I could be more clear when I asked which version of the software is on your phone. It doesn't matter what the guide said it was for, it matters what is ON your phone before you start. If you were on 4.3 before and you did anything 4.1.2 related, this would be why you are in this situation in the first place. Knowing this would and should have been the first step to any attempt to modify your phone. If, for some reason you don't know (argh!), then the easiest way I can think of would be by the Settings app. Was it tabbed with 4 different options across the top or just one long list that you have to scroll all the way to the bottom to see everything?
The tabbed Settings didn't come by till 4.3 for your phone.
Yes it had 4 tabs
I put the 1.4.2 update on the sd card and tried to install in and it showed a android guy with a red triangle... Did i brick my phone? :crying:
Nvm not bricked
I can still do everytjing as before just stuck at Galaxy s3 logo... I need to unistall chainfire 3d but cant get into my phone
I really need my phone fixed
So what do i do im starting to think it cant be fixed :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

I've been watching this thread since you opened it. Why would you use Chainfire 3D to root your phone?
CF Auto Root would of been the better method for attaining root. The previous mentioned program isn't for what you attempted to use it for. Can you get into download mode?

Assuming u are still able to boot into download mode, download the stock ROM of whatever version u were originally on (u can find them on SamMobile) and flash it via Odin
