Hi,
I've been going through the following rooting guide for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wi-Fi only.
[ACS] [How to] Root, Clockworkmod, Flash Roms, Unroot, Tips (11 videos) 3/14/12
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1462961
I've successfully proceeded through the guide up until I need to utilise the CWM-based Recovery tool v5.5.0.4.
When the CWM-based Recovery tool loads my screen continually scrolls down so the menu is blurred out.
From my research & querying the forum I found a related comment. This can be found from the rooting guide thread linked above - page 3 from a member called bugs9477. He states that he also had a scrolling screen & believes there is a compatibility problem for some versions of the tab.
As I've a novice to Android tweaking on this tab I'm not willing to continue until preferably qbking77 responds or an experienced forum member advises me on how to proceed forward from my problem.
I currently have a model number GT-P7510. If you require further information regarding my specific tab please ask.
Thanks in advance.
Just follow bugs9477 guide
Thanks MapleSyrup.
I followed the guide from bugs9477 & downloaded ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4_P75xx.tar.

I'm not sure how to uterlise this file when using qbking77 guide [ACS] [How to] Root, Clockworkmod, Flash Roms, Unroot, Tips (11 videos) 3/14/12.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462961
The file used with qbking77's guide is called recovery.tar.md5 & bugs9477's is called ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4_P75xx when untared.
Can I use the untared file with Odin?
You don't need to untar the file.
I'm not sure if you're following the guide step by step.
Don't mix bugs9477's guide with S0ckM0nk3y's guide. First do what bugs9477 says and be sure that you are in stock again, then follow S0ckM0nk3y's instructions and check that cwm is working fine.
Thanks MapleSyrup. I wasn't sure if I had to go through the step of unrooting the device first. But once I did that & then went through the rooting process it worked.
Thanks for taking your time to assist me. Cheers.
Sorry to be a pain - one last question.
Do I need to keep the Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root archive file on the SD Card after successfully completing the rooting process?

Hi there
Having spent most of yesterday evening trying to work out why my attempt to root my S2 failed whilst getting confused with rooting, roms, kernels etc, I spent the rest of the evening trying to find an idiot's guide to it all, I did not find one.
When I rooted my HTC Hero I find a very helpful idiot's guide that both guided me through the process of rooting, and explained, in layman's terms, how the different bits worked together; I would love to find such a guide for the S2.
I have found some semi-helpful guides to how to root, but these were still written in rather technical language. i.e."install the unsecure kernel then the CWM will update from the download screen; however if you update the ROM an unsecure is not needed because they include a kernel" add to this things like wiping the partition etc it seemed rather confusing, which I am sure it is not, I just need it explaining in layman terms so i can see how the jigsaw fits together.
Having probably been too screened out last night I could well have missed the idiot's guide, so apologies if I did; would you be able to point me in the right direction please?
Thanks
Andy

Follow the "Instructions - ODIN (long)"
That is helpful, thanks.
Unfortunately it still does not make much sense
"This rooted kernel is for the "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root takes the kernel from an original Samsung firmware, and just adds root, busybox, and ClockWorkMod (CWM4/5) recovery
THIS IS NOT A ROM - it is only a modified kernel. You need to have the relevant firmware already on your device. You do NOT need to wipe anything for this patch. You DO need to read the instructions. PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST!"
I have no idea what this means. What is a kernel, firmware, CWM etc. What is the difference between this and a ROM (which it is not for some reason)?
I know these might be as simple as asking the difference between a letter and a number, but I have yet to come across a clear explanation.

1) what is a kernel?
A)The central module of an operating system. It is the part of the operating system that loads first, and it remains in main memory. Because it stays in memory, it is important for the kernel to be as small as possible while still providing all the essential services required by other parts of the operating system and applications. Typically, the kernel is responsible for memory management, process and task management, and disk management.
The definition of kernel is "the portion of an OS (Operating System) that is responsible for interacting with the hardware. It is the operating system software that runs in kernel mode on the computer's processor and which provides low-level intelligence for the operating system. In other words, the kernel is the "heart" of an operating system.
2) What is a Rom?
A) its a mobile operating system for ur phone, just like windows xp or windows 7 for ur computer.
3) what is CWM?
A) CWM- Clock Work Mod , its a custom recovery where u can choose to install custom roms,kernels,themes etc and also u can wipe data,format system etc
hope the above Info will be of some help 2 u
OK. Best bit of advice I can give you is to read the Stickies. Thoroughly. There are no shortcuts. Taking shortcuts leads to borked phones.
The answers to all your questions are in those threads. Yes, you have to do some reading/learning, but that's the way it is (refer to/read my comment above again re: borked phones).
How to install Xenon ROM - I am new
I am new in installing ROMs and rooting the phone.
I have a lot of info about different ROMs and methods how to install it.
I am interested in installing
[ROM][ICS 4.0.3] Xenon ROM v1.1 [18/6/12][Themed + Touchwiz][CF-Root][XWLPD]
I have rooted my phone using the following method:
[GUIDE] ROOT/UNROOT Stock ICS Firmware without flashing unsecure kernel
As per installation instruction of Xenon ROM, I have to Choose "install zip from sdcard", but instead of it, I have only "install zip from sdcard or external SD"- is it the same?
Please advise, if possible with links what should I do.
Thank you very much for your support and patience.

Yes, select that option. It will take u to the next screen where you have to select the zip file you have copied. Navigate to the path where the zip file is and install.

Because of the way you've rooted, you still have stock recovery. To achieve what you want, follow the first four steps of your link first.

If I understand correctly I have to flash Cf-Root or Clockworkmod- what is better and less risky?
I am using the following original ROM - see below.
Model: GT-I9100T
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband version: I9100TJILP9
Kernel version: [email protected]#3
Please advise,
To [Q] of AR2000.
Go through STICKY THREAD in the starting to clear most of your ideas.(you will find sticky thread as soon as you open Galaxy S2 General Forum in xda)
Also i found this thread pretty helpful during my root it has step by step explanation in simple language.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1126522
Also you are still in the root phase but when once you done with rooting BEFORE you move on to FLASHING check this tread out for sure

Finally, I did it using:
1. [GUIDE] ROOT/UNROOT Stock ICS Firmware without flashing unsecure kernel
2. I installed ROM Manager from a marked, and CWM using this program.
3. Rebooted in to recovery mode.
4. Done
After it I changed at least 5 ROMs!!! now yellow triangle!
Stayed with ☆☆☆☆☆[ROM-ICS]-[--VK--™]-[-XWLPG-V5.1.2]-[Fast-Stable]-[Jkay Support]-[MultiLanguage]
So I've spent a few hours looking around for how I can upgrade my Transformer Prime to JellyBean and I'm beyond frustrated.
It seems there are so many different guides, and almost all of them for older versions of the prime (< .28). I read through all the rooting guides on the "rolled-up sticky guides" page
It's almost as if you come late to the rooting scene with your device you're out of luck.
Then I decided the best method to approach this is skip rooting my device and simply unlock my bootloader, then use fastboot to load CWM onto my device.
Only problem is I'm reading tons of sketchy looking sites with broken image links on how to do this, and the user comment complaints on those sites don't really raise my confidence.
I found this link:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Asus_Transformer_Prime:_Full_Update_Guide
but then read this:
"NOTE: In order to flash CyanogenMod via ROM Manager, root access is required. Attaining root access is outside the scope of this wiki page."
WTF!??!
So can someone here verify if I need root access to flash a ROM if I've already installed CWM?
EDIT:
I was confusing ROM Manager with Clockwork Recovery (in my head they are the same). So the guide is correct, I do need root for ROM Manager, but not for Clockwork Recovery.
So the steps I needed to take were:
1) Unlock the bootloader using the official Asus bootloader unlocker
2) Follow this guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Asus_Transformer_Prime:_Full_Update_Guide, but use the Clockwork Recovery way instead of the ROM Manager way.
3) Enjoy Jelly Bean
ÄIf you want to flash cwm instead of twrp then just head to cwm home site. If you want to flash twrp then head to the twrp thread. Also fastboot shouldn't be too hard to find. Then just follow any guide to flash recovery. Also that guide seems to be messed up obviesly you don't have to be rooted to flash with cwm. http://www.androidauthority.com/install-cwm-5-8-2-0-on-transformer-prime-60909/
Also if you need. That guide should work just fine.

Hello, n00b post.
I'm attempting to root my phone using the following method. I've flashed my phone in recovery using odin and philz xwlsy md5 file. What do I need to do next? I'm attempting the following method..

So im guessing I use philZ md5 file then boot from the cwm into the root file? Via internal sd ? Is there an easy way without the sd? Thanks
Sorry everyone if my question looks noob,
I'm confused about what method is best suitable for my phone.
I want to root so to have full access and make a backup before upgrading to stock rom 4.1.2.
My phone: Samsung S2 GT-I9100 international, stock rom 4.0.4
What information do you need?
I think that I got all information about my phone but the whole bunch of numbers confuse and scare me a bit.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: even more confused now since my questions didn't appear into the related thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/04-12-2012-universal-rooting-phones-rom-t1746794/page64

rooted OneTouch918D
Hello,
I've rooted the mentioned phone with 'Kingo-Root', which said successfull and installed a 'Superuser'-App.
Then I've installed ROM-Manager sucessfully, but in the recovery mode there is no option 'install zip from SD-card'.
I also can't install custom ROMs, which I found with your website (for example 'deep ROM -zip'). It says 'signature failure...'.
Have I choosen th wrong rooting method, or have I to combine it which other steps afterwards?
I also don't find a cyanogenmod version to install for this phone.
I finally want to get full access and control over all permissions (aim is xprivacy or so), so to ocnfigure every app for my own.
What can you advice me?
Hi guys,
first of all I would like to wish all of you the best for the next year . I've been trying to follow the steps indicated in the next thread in order to install the twrp recovery and get root permision on my VK6735 VKWorld mobile.
Link to instructions:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/recovery-vk-world-vk6735-t3306714 (Sorry to post here but I don't have permisions or possibility to post in the other thread)
I do all the steps and I get the recovery flashed ok using the flash tool showing the ok button but when I acces to my mobile and go to the recovery I can see that it isn't installed I see the default recovery options of android, therefore I can't continue installing the SuperUser zip. I figure out that there's some step pending in the thread explaining how to install the recovery.img you have flashed.
For the moment I don't want to do anything more to my phone because I'm worried about the possibility to brick my phone, the aim to do all of this is only to root my mobile and improve the energy efficiency of battery through some apps that require root access and set some malware antivirus to avoid spam and ads in applications, though.
I have seen in another forums that some guys have tried to root this model and got bricked their phone and another ones have tried to use different rooting apps like kingo root without success. It would be possible for some expert using the forum to complete the link thread mentioned before adding some screen captures or more detailed information about the different steps?? For me the best would be someone doing a youtube video rooting vk6735 mobile from scratch. It would be the best Christmas present for me,
Thanks
Hey you!
I am a complete newbie in the world of root, flash, recovery and all the other things - shoot me. But I promise to change. Having only very few apps and the need to move every 5 pictures taken off my phone is something that keeps bugging me. I can't stand the stock Android's space limitations anymore.
Since two days, I keep trying to install Lineage Os but I can't make it beyond initial steps. Often, I feel like having very basic questions but no one I can turn to. And at other times, when I go back to step one, I feel like I've missed the steps that I've tried before.
Therefore, this thread serves as place to ask questions to you (the expert) and serves as installation guide for myself and other beginners. The documentation of my process - and where I am currently are - will be in this starting post, questions I'll be asking within the threads following posts.
My details
Phone: LG G2 mini (D620r)
Software plattform: Android 5.0.2
Software version: V20b-EUR-XX
The general installation guide I use for reference: XDA Forums - Everything g2m
The installation guide I use: Lineage Os Wiki - Install on g2m
31.01.2018 - Step 1: Basic requirements - setting up ADB
This was explained pretty well. However, I can't verify if my device is able to make use of fastboot. Shouldn't be a problem I hope.
31.01.2018 - Step 2: Rooting your device
The guide links to another guide ( XDA Forums - Root for G2 mini - All versions ). In it, the poster offers a King Root version but suggests at the same time to check their website (of king root) for updates). To install King Root, I opened the website on my phone's browser, downloaded, installed and run their .apk. This worked, my phone is now rooted.
Question
Question:
The linked root guide (see here ) gives optional steps to install SuperSu via a MRW folder and a script that uninstalles KingRoot again.
Reason could be that this will unlock my bootloader (no idea if thats true) and I might need that in the further installation process.
Are these optional steps required to move on with my Installation?
KingRoot is full of adware and it actively tries to stop you from changing it to a different root app.
That's why you should ( read as must ) change it.
Changing the root-handling app has nothing to do with unlocking the bootloader.
Look for the BL unlock method in the dev section.
Also, this should help you a lot:

Hey Vagelis, thanks for your reply and all the work you do (not only) around the g2m - I've read quiet some posts from you already . I'll switch to SuperSU before I proceed with the boot loader unlock method that I've found in the 'Everything' thread.
Will do so in a few hours, then update this thread accordingly. Thanks!

Well, since you change to another ROM afterwards, it is not that important to replace the app, I guess. But it is allways better to be on the safe side.
