well, i have an GS2 rooted (android 2.3.4) and sim unlocked with Galaxy S Unlocker.
if i upgrade to ICS when its released, do i loose root?
if I loose root, SuperOneClick will still work if my GS2 is ICS or do i need to wait to an update of SUperOneClick (to supor GS2 with ICS) to root my device again?
well, those are my questions.
thanks in advance.

1) Of course you'll lose root if you go back to stock.
2) Ask whomever developed SuperOneClick if it will work with ICS.

Or you can wait for an ICS custom ROM ...
Hi,
I've rooted my S2 with CF-Root 4.1 and I'm using a 2.3.5 SamFirmware ROM.
Can I just update over KIES when ICS comes out? Will the Kernel be replaced and what Files will be erased?

If you have a rooted rom, if I remember well, Kies won't update your firmware... You have to use ODIN...
ok so just to make this 100% clear (i am a complete noob and i always make stupid questions, so flaming is accepted )
I have a Galaxy S2 with just rooted firmware (XWKJ1). I used an insecure version of this firmware to root the phone following the Odin/CF Root guide. Also I am not using any custom made rom like CM for example... If I upgrade my phone through Kies when the ICS update rolls out will I be able to complete the process succesfully?
Also from what I understand if the update procedure is completed succesfully I will lose root and will have to do the whole process all over again... Is there an insecure firmware matching the ICS firmware that will replace my old one?
Thanks in advance for your help...

Unless the ICS firmware you upgrade to is already rooted, then yes. You will lose root.
Just try Resurrectio Remix v9.6 by westcrip. Its the best ics rom right now.

It was never guaranteed to be released worldwide on a single day anyways. Can you imagine the millions of I9100 users all trying to download the official ICS update via Kies at the same time? Their servers would have an aneurysm.
It would surely have been reposted for download though. Also, it was posted in various languages including English speaking Samsung sites.
I know that it is what it is and there's little point now, but I haven't had my ***** about it yet, except to my wife who is fairly confused about why this is such a disappointment for me.
Now I've had my little ***** attack about it not happening and will maintain it to this.
I dont understand why its such a big deal to get the update. Why not just flash a custom rom?

I've been squeamish after many GB ones had serious issues, for example we'd forgotten our camera when my second kid was born by cesarian and I had a sleep of death on the phone - was doing a Nandroid restore of stock 10 minutes prior to entering the operating room. It saved the day.
That said, I flashed a custom ROM right after that last post and it's been really impressive. I haven't yet found an issue with it. Everything seems to be working really well and the battery life might even be a little better than the GB ROM I was using though it's still to early to say.
I get annoyed with all the banners and the immediate back patting when there's a new RoM that hasn't even been tested, but just to answer the question some people might be asking about which one I was impressed with, it was Resurection Remix. It also happens, thogh, to be the first one I flashed that was a Samsung based ROM opposed to AOSP.
It is still annoying though. I suspect Samsung is merely manufacturing their own hype about this, intentionally, and that is irritating.
hi everyone.i am new on this rooting and all of this stuff.i am currently owning samsung gt-i9100.it came with 2.3.3 android version.then i did this exactly 1) updated my firmware via odin.now it has android version 4.0.3,kernel version [email protected]#3,build number iml74k.xxplq. 2) then i rooted my phone.now i have cwm manager installed on my phone.it says current kernel: cf-root5.4. earlier it says that it is only compatible to version 5.5 or above and some features might get blocked.as i dnt have much knowledge in this field.so i ignored this message and carried on with my urge to install custom rom(toget rid of touchwiz).i tried to install cynogenmod7 rom(stable).everything worked right but on reboot it get stuck on that samsung galaxy logo.and i have to again restore my backup.please help me out with this.thanx in advance
Try from recovery mode using cwm.zip and put the new rom in the sd card. Delete first data, cache, dalvik cache and such luke guides say.

dude!!
you tried to install CM7 on ICS!! Don't think this is possible... (e.g. your current predicament)
you should try CM9, custom ICS -=or=- MIUI v4 etc.
I'm currently using CM7 ^^ just installed today - forgot how smooth it is... still it's not MIUI - but it's good for a holiday
same was the case with Resurrection ICS ROM v2.0.it didnt work either.will do anything to make it work.let me try this .will tell u then.thanx a lot sir

I don't know if that is the problem, because cm7 should work with ics, at least there are videos on youtube.
even i think so that the problem is something else...most probably mismatching...still i am gng to try it

bravo...i was able to do it finally.first via triangle away i was able to reset counter and then installed cm9.thanx a lot frnds

when i checked for updates it didnt ask me for samsung account , so there is no updates

For me it worked for the first time and without need of samsung account.try without it...

Me too with rooted tab, however, it does check for and download updates and asks for a samsung acc. However, installing the update got a message error. Btw, I'm looking for a fast stable ROM with HC 3.2 and a pre-installed launcher. Anyone got any ideas?
Hi.
to all: go to this address and follow the instructions:
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-p7500-honeycomb-xwkl1-firmware-72067/
then install samsung apps or a launcher or everything else...
I've flashed it myself several times till now(I've bought my tab nearly a week ago and have almost boomed it)
if you have the same prob again tell me to upload some videos...

If ur loking for stable HC3.2 try Overcome 10.1 Series. Most stable for 3G GTab but removes too much from TouchWiz.
I would personally recommend GALAXY TASK 14 or Clean ROM 2.0 but only if u have WiFi only GTab.

but why there is no updates?
If you mean updates for android os,Ice cream sandwich and jelly bean have already been released(ICS without camera and JB without anything right now...).
I recommend only ICS CM nightly if you ever want to flash...
I rely on the tab to take pics a lot, so I cant afford to lose the camera. Clean ROM's developer seems to have moved on to another device, so I think I'm gonna go with Task. Thanks!
Ps: This may sound dumb, but how do you update CWM, and how to install the b00sted's themes here ? I downloaded it but have no idea how. Does it run on stock launcher?

Yeah, I figured out how. But dont know how to install the CWM touch, it's a *.img file. And about b00sted's themes, I meant do they run with stock ROM, sorry!

In order to install cwm touch, you have to put it in a .tar file and use odin. Or make a cwm flashable zip.
you can find non-touch recovery in here:

Hi, i have an S3 and i want to install Jelly Bean.
At the moment i have my device rooted using: Odin3-v3.04_Galaxys3ii.com with CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4
Now to the question: How do i proceed correctly to update to jelly bean? And if possible, get root-access as well? But if that is too complicated i would happily settle with stock JB.
I tried to update OTA but got this error (roughly translated from Swedish): "Access to the software update service is provided to the user in the order they request it. try again later."
Then i tried through Samsung KIES. It finds an update but the program just freezes when i try to install it, not affecting the phone.
Thanks for all answers!

they flash in recovery, all you need is root and custom recovery, if you have those you are good to go, I recommend a wipe, but you could try without, if you find that you have problems with f/c 's then go back to recovery and do a factory reset

Just flash it with CWM, it is a "stock Rom".You should really check out flashing guides in "Stickies", it'll tell u everything u need to know about flashing roms, kernels, mods & so on.

You don't really need a good computer to flash back to stock, just a USB cable. The easiest way is to flash back to stock JFD 2.1 with Odin and then root your phone with update.zip B, reboot to recovery and reinstall packages twice then flash the ROM (twice also if going to JB 4.2). Here is a link for both flashing to stock and rooting with update.zip B http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028 . If you decide to stay on 2.2 you will have to use the modified 3e recovery zip, I have never done this so can't really explain how to do it, here is the link though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423.

Try update.zip A from the first link I provided, it should root your phone. Then you can use the 3e method. I've never had to do this myself so sorry I don't have a straight answer for you.

Yes I rooted my phone with Update.zip B, it doesn't actually root but it gives you CWM and you can flash a custom ROM, they all come pre rooted. You should really flash back to stock if possible, it's very easy from stock 2.1. I'll do some research and see what I can come up with but stock 2.2 has a bunch of issues with rooting and installing CWM, this is why everyone recommends flashing to stock 2.1 (JFD)
Edit - it appears superoneclick 2.3.1 works for some people on stock Froyo (2.2). Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146645 If you get it rooted on stock 2.2 you will still have to do the 3e recovery step FYI

Thanks for the reply. Sad news. I used Kies Mini to update and everything went fine until the reboot. well it didnt reboot, my phone is officially bricked. I bought a JIG to see if it would help wake it in Download but it does not. I have read that you can open the phone and do some soldering to get the phone back but it seems like too much for this phone. If you have any suggestions that would be fantastic.. Thanks again for your reply.
