[Q] Root SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 GT-I9100 with Version 4.0.3 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I am from Greece.
I have just upgraded my SAMSUNG GT-I9100 from KIES with the latest Firmware
PDA:LPC / PHONE:LP6 / CSC:LP6 (VGR)
In my phone (About Phone)
Android Version
4.0.3
Baseband version
I9100BULP6
Kernel version
3.0.15-I9100XWLP3-CL287862
[email protected] 168#3
Build number
IML74K.BULPC
Does anybody knows what is the proper root package?
I have already rooted with
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_O2U_LP3-v5.4-CWM5
but it seems that it is not working properly.
Although rooted some programas do not work
e.g. Absolute System Pro

If CWM is working, you can try to install supersu.zip. Maybe that will help.

just reset super user app, you would have probably denied rott permissions for those apps when asked for the first time.

Just do a full wipe and reinstall your firmware with Odin. Then follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719

Will SuperSU be able to manage the su binary included on a userdebug build of AOSP?

[ROOT] Galaxy Mega 6.3 - GT-I9205 and GT-I9200

This is the second version of the Galaxy Mega 6.3 root solution.
It replaces the original rootable kernel.
This version comes with SuperSU 1.41 preinstalled and the su and busybox pathes have been changed to achieve better compatibility with some root applications.
The vcoreroot-v2.tar file can be flashed with Odin as PDA.
Keep Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time selected.

Will this improve the root of devices rooted using the previous method? Or will this do the same thing? Can we redo the process?

It basically does the same thing. It's just more compatible with some apps like the Multi Window Manager and SuperSU is preinstalled.

After I install this root kernel, if I install the original rom for my mega (Brazil ZTO) wil there remain any signe that the phone where rooted? Sory for the noob question.

To completely unroot the device you have to uninstall SuperSU before re-flashing the device with the original ROM.
SuperSU can be uninstalled via the SuperSU settings menu.
Hi VCore
The Odin v3.07 works well for kernel's. To flash a new Stock Rom is all compatible and safe on i9205?
For example, the LTE modem have a size about 48 MB and is on 3 partitions like this:
rwxrwxrwx root root 2013-01-01 02:26 modem -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2013-01-01 02:26 modemst1 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p11
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2013-01-01 02:26 modemst2 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
It will be good on Odin?
What do You think?
Valente
You can flash the vcoreroot-v2.tar boot image with Odin v3.07.
It is confirmed to work on GT-I9205 and GT-I9200 devices and includes the LTE driver.
LTE will of course be ignored on the GT-I9200.

Just flash the official kernel back afterwards, presto...red lines gone. Status shows official/official, and you still keep root. :good:

With this new rooted kernel version is it possible to move apps from internal storage to the external sd? 8 gb aren't that much space...

Problem rooting after JB update

Well I went full stock on ICS so I can update to JB and after updating and installing custom recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.0) I tried to install Superuser or SuperSU
but both say "Can't update binary,contact the dev" or something,and other times "No binary installed and the app can't install it".
I actually can't remember how I rooted my phone the 1st time on ICS and can't remember what I should do now -_-

You have to flash SuperSu in recovery, installing via Google Play won't work.
