[Q] CF-Root on SGS2 4.0.3 INU Official Fails? Help - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Frnds,
I was trying to root my ICS 4.0.3 through CF Root "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5" but i was getting result Fails?
ICS 4.0.3 INU (Official): I9100XWLP7
Baseband :I9100DDLPA
I also need a suggestion, can i also upgrade my FW with ICS 4.0.4 and then root it again?
Please suggest i m doing it first time.
Thanks in adv.

Hi,
which method did you try?
CWM Recovery or via ODIN (you need to go in Download Mode for Odin)?
You can update any FW - if you flash stock you have to root again, if you flash custom you got root (bcz of the implemented kernel)
The leaked 4.0.4 is not recommended to flash bcz of the hardbrick probs, and in your case i wouldnt try it bcz you already fail at flashing a kernel

Could you be little bit more specific please? What do you mean by 'still its failing', does ODIN report an error? If so what is the error, can you provide a screen shot of the error message?

hey man tou have to extract the downloaded filebecause it is in zip format..
after extracting the downloaded file you will get another file which is in .tar format...you have to put this .tar file in PDA section of odin and disable antivirus,firewall etc.. and then start flashing...

Hi Frnds,
I have attached screenshot of Odin with fail message. I think now now can understand it properly and help me out to root my SGS2.

Maybe I missed a new version of ODIN as I do not know the one you use. For the SGS2 I use ODIN 3 V1.85, see the title bar of the attached screen shot.
I suggest you try with ODIN 3 version 1.85.

I have both Odin version that is Odin3_v3.04 and Odin3-v1.85 but reason i m using latest one because in old one 1.85 odin doest reply any result though latest 3.04 atleast show me result fail.
I really don't know what is happening and how can i root my SGS2 4.0.3?
Please help me...

Nevertheless, please try with V1.85 and post resulting screen shot. At least we should see how ODIN gets stuck. Perhaps it is easier to debug even the information reported by V1.85 is not accurate.
PS: Please use the 'Manage Attachments' button to upload a screen shot.

I am here attached Odin Fail Report
Hi Frnds,
First thanks for all to helping out.. I have attached Odin Latest version screenshot and with old version 1.85 nothing is happening no result i mean. its just stuck after connecting device.
I have also attached my Mobile setting screenshot.
I hope that attached picture will help you to understand my problem

What makes you think that things will work better with ODIN V3.04 then with ODIN V1.85? The fact that you see more 'information'? Maybe this information is just misleading...
Anyway: from what you say ODIN V1.85 is doing (nothing!) I suggest you do:
1. make sure Kies is not running
2. reinstall the latest USB drivers
3. use another USB cable
4. try another computer

Ctrl+Alt+Delete. Task Manager>Processes. Kill anything that start with "Kies".
Odin and Kies are like sworn brothers. They hate each other. Run Odin in Windows XP compatibility mode & also run it as Administrator. This works for me and hope it will work for you too....good luck.

Thanks @fxrb and other frnd too,
Finaly i am able to successfull root my SGS2. Now please let me know what can i do next like i have remove few inbuild software and how i allow root permission to recording apps.Do i need to install superoneclick?

NO, you don't need SuperOneClick since you have already rooted your phone. For removing/freezing/delete bloatware you can use Titanium Backup...

Problem w/ ODIN, pls help!

Hi all... I downloaded the link provided here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799105) because I have rooted my phone and am in the process of upgrading it to the 2.2 froyo. However, when following s15274n's post and watching his video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMSF-SumO3k) it seems like when you boot up your phone into download mode, it should show up in ODIN in the id:com section. I was following his video to a T but my phone is not showing up there whatsoever.... so what do I do and how do I fix this?
Install drivers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
i just did that but it downloads "DriverBoost" and you have to pay and register it so it will update all your driver's for you.... is this what I have to do?

just install kies, and it will include the drivers.
kies is free.
I think there is a vibrant kies mini version, but I use the following european full kies.

you can get kies mini here

kies should have all the drivers.
ok, i rebooted my computer... now it does appear that Odin is recognizing my phone! but just to make sure, in Odin one of the "id:com" ports is highlighted yellow and says "0:[COM3]", is this correct?

yes that is fine, the number doesn't matter.
watch this video

btw, not sure what you are trying to do, but if you are trying to update to 2.2, why don't you just use rom manager and clockwork recovery to flash a rom.
Axura 2.0.5 and the Stock Froyo JK6 that sombionix uploaded is fantastic.
Not sure what you are really trying to do.
Its always better to Odin black top stock so you don't keep ghost from other rom

thanks guys! the kies mini fixed the problem... it was a driver problem btw. you guys were great!

Looks like you have un-zipped the tar.

So am I not meant to unzip the winrar archive and just select it for pda, phone and CSC?
Just to point out that there are no .tar archives
Check the file extension on the zip, should be a .tar
Best to remove winrar and install 7-zip, it shows proper filename extensions.

I am having the same problem of my file clearly being located and visible in the location I want when viewing via Windows Explorer. Yet when I go into ODIN, the file doesn't show as an option. In the attached screenshot, ODIN shows me that there isn't ONE single file from this location that is usable via the PDA option?? Please help as this is really perplexing me.

[How To] Recover from a soft brick GS2

Hi, I was trying to root my device with insecure kernel, and then my device hangs on galaxy i9100 boot screen,
so, I've tried to restore my stock kernel, but it didn't help...
finally I've tried to flash the jpkg2 stock rom from intratec thread, also the same...
i tried this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and my phone stoped at this
and with fully falied odion tests...
now I can enter the download mode.
but recovery mode is not working
Note: there was no Kies when I did this, after that I tried all the things before with kies installed, and with samsung_usb_driver, and still got no success.
Note: Odion recognize my device, download mode is fine.
any help would be apprecciated.
Quite clearly not a "How To", and what was wrong with your other thread?
plz help i9100 dead.
im trying here to make it more clearly
I did't find any help in my last thread, so I tried to be more specific here.
Taken from Intratech's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
........................
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Anyone ask about .pit file is a moron
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First thing I notice when looking at your screenshot is that you have ticked re-partition.
Second thing I notice is that you have tried to flash a PIT file.
Maybe that's where you are going wrong??
I found this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18961761&postcount=9
this man was unable to flash his device " Odion Fail"
so one of the suggestions was to use another computer, and yeh!! it works for him.

What was wrong with the replies? You didn't find a magic fix to your problem, which in all honesty, was just you being stupid putting the wrong files into the Odin boxes. If you want a magic fix, send your phone to Samsung and pay for the fix they do.
If you want a normal fix, listen to the replies given in the other thread. Don't start spamming new topics everywhere with the same question just because you don't like the answer. Remember, you killed your phone and others are actually trying to help you fix it....

Phone won't boot after latest upgrade and root.

Hello, I performed the recommended upgrade from kies.
Then I rooted my phone for the third time (two previous were successful).
I followed the instructions from there: http://www.techjamaica.com/forums/s...ur-Galaxy-SII-by-a-2-day-old-Android-Newbie!& as per two previous times.
My phone now won't boot. It stays at the boot screen with the yellow exclamation point.
I tried to read relevant threads from here and the web. What I did is:
- removed the battery for 10 minutes, press the on-off button for some secs
- tried to connect it via Kies
- tried to connect it via Kies at download mode
- tried to re-root it via Odin (it said success but still cannot boot)
All above had no success. Now I am without mobile since early morning.
What else can I try to fix it?
Before rooting it, and immediately after the update, the phone was working.
Go to Recovery Mode and try Wipes...
Thanks. Will revert
ok I entered to recovery mode and wiped cache partition - nothing happened
should I wipe data/factory reset?
Ignore step 3 onwards and just flash a CF-root kernel matching your version. In other words, follow the instructions to root from this forum, not some random Jamaica tech forum.

I rooted the phone successfully and I know it because now the recovery mode is different than the recovery mode before used the latest root.
However I still cannot boot. Should I hardware reset the device? Is this my only option?
Well nothing worked. I booted to "ClockwoorkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2" and deleted/wiped everything, even hardware reset it.
I am still stuck with the yellow exclamation mark. How is even possible that hardware reset doesn't working?
Please help.
