Hello there guys, I just rooted my Galaxy S2, after downloading Odin3, insecure kernel JPKJ2, as I also used Samsung quick root, everything seems ok, I didnt brick my phone, but the only prob is that I couldnt find CWM after the phone rebooted, the only app I found was SuperSU, did I skip something while rooting ? can you guys please suggest how I can fix this issue ?
Thank You.

Probably yes!
Please post your Rom details.
I used a similar method to root my sgs2 for the first time a long time ago...anyway i had the same problem, what happened was that it only rooted the phone for me and for cwm i had to flash cwm 4(latest at the time) as a .tar file so maybe that will fix it...try it!

Hey bud, If you want to check if you are properly rooted or not try updating script in su or download a root only app like titanium backup & run it. If it comes up with a permission request then all good you're rooted. As for the cwm app, many people including myself avoid it like the plague as it can have incompatibility problems with "cwm recovery" which is different to the "cwm app". If you must have it you can download from the playstore, but make sure you flash zips through recovery not the app.
CWM is part of the kernel, so if you want it you must flash such one like CF-Root or Siyah.

Thank you for the link.
I found "I9100XWLPI_I9100DBTLP6_DBT.zip" and hope this is the right one for my smartphone. I am not sure what the difference between "Germany-MBC" and "Germany-DBT" is...
Can anyone confirm me that i have the right one ?

The DBT one is for the carrier Deutsche Bundespost Telekom. I don't know the other one, but yes, that is the correct one!
Thank you.
And where can i a "original stock kernel" for a german Galaxy SII (IML74K.XWLPI) ?
Thanks for ur helpful replies, I was able to download CWM and reflash it using Odin, however when I tried installing new ROMs using CWM recovery mode, the phone wouldnt start, although that when I finish installing the .zip file everything seems to be done correctly, but my phone just wouldnt launch, when I turn it on I get the Samsung GT-i9100 and the yellow ( ! ) mark cause I didnt flash a secure kernel yet, then its gets stuck on the resurrection remix loading phase
Any inputs guys ? regarding I was able to restore the stock rom and launch the phone regularly, but now I can not :crying:
Can you get to recovery or download mode?
You can find at http://androidfirmwares.net/
U can check root by root checker app at play store.

I've done a bunch of searching but I can NEVER find a solid answer for my question.
First of all, I have a Samsung Galaxy ace S5830D, as the title says.
My provider is Koodo and I got the phone through 'em.
Basically, all the roms I find are for the Samsung Galaxy ace S5830 (no D). Whenever I search to see if this matters, it seems to with people screwing up their phone trying to use roms for the S5830.
I also can't seem to find any roms specifically for the S5830D.
I have the phone rooted, that was simple enough.
So my question is, will a rom for the S5830 work with my S5830D?
If not, could someone point me to where I COULD find roms for it? because I can't seem to find any.
This is my first phone so I know next to nothing about all this aside from what i've picked up doing searches.
Look into your phone build.prop, if its stated codename as cooper u can flash any custom rom for generic ace. only different is maybe modem, as u need to flash modem only for your region.
If its listed codename as cooperve, u are out of luck because it got different hardware than generic ace.
Hmm, thanks.
I'm looking at my build.prop but i'm not seeing either codename that you said...I think.
ro.build.version.codename=REL
is the only line I see mentioning a codename.
Though I saw "cooper" in this line
ro.build.buildtag=jenkins-
HUDSON_USA_GSM_GB_COOPER-TLS-111
dunno if the first line was relevant, or if that means anything...
Sorry, complete noob at this.
if u see cooper, its the same with generic galaxy ace then. if u see cooperve then its another ace with different hardware than the generic ace.
and i'm sure the s5830d that u got is the same with generic s5830 thus u can flash any custom rom from the generic ace.
read this thread for more info

Yeeeah apparently not the same as a generic S5830.
After flashing a S5830 rom, my phone would boot, show the samsung logo, then quickly fade to a white screen.
I restored using a backup, and now my phone simply hangs on the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830D logo screen, and does nothing else.
Well then. I guess my question becomes...
how do I fix my phone? lol
Restoring the backup doesn't do much.
EDIT:
Used Odin with Cooper_v1.0.ops and a .tar.md5 to flash it back to stock/base/whatever.
Works now...neeever trying to flash to a rom again. I'll stick to keeping it rooted and that's it...
Anyone know how to flash it using Ubuntu and download mode?

Hello !
There are others of us in that same situation, would be great if you'd post that S5830D "ODIN" file (...tar.md5) !
I'd like some input on whether this is confirmed a different hardware model or if the OP just had a bad flash, missed step, etc.
I've got a S5830D model successfully rooted, carrier unlocked, with CWM installed but leery of going any further after seeing this.
Any input is appreciated

To root this is working perfectly :

First, you need to know what is your objective, what you want.
The best thing will probably be to limit yourself to root only. SuperOneClick will do the job, I use that exact same version to root my sgs and the sga of my girlfriend so it should work fine for you to. There a lot of website that explain step by step how to use it. Not that "one click" is hard. But you need all driver on your pc.
CWM is a custom recovery. It's good to have if you want to be able to flash custom rom or kernel because the stock recovery 3E will always give error and no results. It's why you need Odin to replace it. I used the cwm I link for the sga and it was pretty straight forward. But use it on a gt-S5830 ONLY. I see that you also have a GT-S5360, don't use that recovery on this. Usually the recovery is include in kernel, on sgs each kernel have its own custom recovery and most of them are provided in zip(to flash from recovery) or tar(to flash from odin), which make everything very simple. But I didn't see equivalent on sga yet (but I am new to the ace so that doesn't mean that it's not the same)
I will suggest you to start by only root your device, that gives you the opportunity to use many really cool applications. Get yourself familiar with a good backup software. Then after few weeks /months if you feel comfortable you can go further.
Replacing recovery, kernel and rom can be dangerous. You better be sure to know in which boat you go into.

ok, I think you dont need to flash cwm, just find a pc where you can run superoneclick and your phone should be root. Its all you need for link2sd to work.
You cannot root directly from the recovery 3E, that recovery have a weird signature check that give error on any signed zip I tried (at least its what I have experiment with it). Its why you actually need to do at least 1 step from a pc. But you dont actually need to replace the recovery for what you want, just root it with superoneclick or another method.
I dont have a lot of experience myself with the Ace, so maybe there some other method out there but I dont know them. And my i9000 had the same recovery when I had it and it give my a lot of trouble. superoneclick and a woking odin open all the door without trouble...

I don’t remember for sure. But I can tell you that the rom I currently using have Spanish in the language list:
[Rom][Official CM7 based]Nitrogen [Android UnChained][PSN FireKernel MemMod V3]
This rom have many requirement regarding sd-card partitioning and I would not necessarily recommend it if you not willing to be in a try/fail situation. But I have to say that it’s my favorite over all rom I tried on the Ace.
Also, my opinion had change a little bit since the moment I write this post.
I write what it is bellow this red portion before and it does not fit with my previous statement.
The impression I have that my phone is a lemon is maybe a sign that there some small incompatibility between S5830 and S5830D.
Also the comment about data backup is probably not relevant if it is a “friend” phone and not yours.
The Ace is the phone of my girlfriend and even after all those month it’s still me that using it because I did not find a satisfactory solution.
So this being said, feel free to build your own opinion, experiment some rom or keep your phone like it his stock
I did not find a single rom (not even stock or stock based) that don’t bug completely after some time on the Ace. My Ace is a lemon, it needs factory reset or re-installation once in a while... The Nitrogen rom is the one that work the best on MY phone.
One thing I would add to my previous post is: Don’t rely on CWM as a backup solution. Especially if you are changing of rom. Use a software to backup your app, data, sms, call, etc… Titanium Backup Pro is legendary and it’s working perfectly but there are many other alternative.
Hi,
I just got my Android and happened to Root it with a firmware containing CWM because I really had no clue as to what it was. Now I would want to be able to remove this icon CWM from my phone. I have tried flashing the kernel to no avail. Please help me with a step by step procedure to remove it since I'm absolutely new to Androids. My S2 runs gingerbread 2.3.6. I did check the web but am so confused with all the options provided.

It is strongly recommended to back up stock ROM before u give try to Custom ROM.

Since you are rooted, use any file explorer with root access and delete the cwm manager.apk.
Second option is use root un-installer and uninstall the cwm manager

in some Firmwares CWM is included in system applications, so cant simply uninstall it, you can use Titanium backup application to uninstall system apps,
But before uninstalling better you learn more about Rooting and the functions of this app and other root apps. This is a very usefull app in the rooted and Clockwork mod installed devices, for rebooting into recovery easily, kernel flashing, backing up of the Rom ect..
you can have informations from below sticky thread as well as from my signature links.

Yes you will need to remove root so flash Sam firmware with mobile Odin and don't root. Now back to stock. :thumbup:
Or send it in and report bk

It would be very helpful if you can provide a link for reference

Thanks for replying andrewwright!! (you too "theunderling"!!:angel
I haven't actually installed CWM yet and came here to clear my this doubt.
Why Sam Firmware (if Sam = Samsung) while my device is XOLO q800? Can I take a backup of my my stock firmware in some way because XOLO is not a popular brand and I won't get much support(stock firmware) over internet.
Also, I read somewhere that particular firmware corrosponds to a particular chipset(mine is MT6589), is it true??
I would really appreciate if you can provide a link for reference where I can read further or otherwise some people will keep yelling here "noob......noob"

Hello,
I just got my new Galaxy S2 and want to install the Resurrection Remix Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854)
Since there are soo many topics and threads here, I can't even find the answer I'm looking for with the search bar, so I'm sorry to ask.
I want to know how to install CWM and this ROM, is there a guide somewhere? What's the best way to root it and install CWM?
It would be really nice if someone could post it.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Greezes,

just get odin and then flash a rooted and cmw kernel.

Well, first thing to do is to get Odin like our friend already said, u can look here in forum for links, u will need the Odin 1.85
After that go to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Its Chainfire kernel, it Root and install CWM and Superuser basically.. he keeps it the most original as possible...
Attention ! Download the version that is compatible to ur ROM Version !
now go to odin, in PDA u add the .tar file from chainfire and select start. (If u dont know how to use Odin completelly, i suggest u to read something about first!)
After its complete the SGSII will restart and it will be rooted, now u can download the rom u want and flash it through CWM...
Remember to read FAQ first...
Thank you button if u like it ! =D
Acutally, the first thing you should do is confirm what model of the Galaxy SII you have, since there are over a dozen variants, some of which are specific to the US. I say this because this is your first post in the Galaxy SII forum, and a brief perusal of your posting history doesn't really give any clues as to your geographical location.
Look on the label under the battery.
Does it say "GT-i9100"?
If so, you're in the right place.
If not, you're in the wrong place, and flashing ANYthing for an i9100 will potentially brick your device.
I got a Galaxy S2 i9100.
Thanks a lot for your great replys,you guys are awesome!!
I know what to do now.

Welcome pal ! This Forum helped me for one year till now, its great to share some experience ! =D
Just have another question because I don't want to brick my new S2:
In this guide which Danpamio posted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I have to look for the right ROM to flash via odin to my S2.
Mine got the "LP7" in the system settings info.
Now, which of there roms do I have to install? What's the difference?
CF-Root-SGS2_DX_XTC_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
Thanks in advance!
This is the safe way, just notice recovery is only there until you reboot, but root stays, still there are instructions how to unroot

If you read the entire thread you are referencing it clearly states:
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG1-v4.1-CWM4.zip
The XX and OXA identifiers are not that important. Usually a "KG1" kernel is a "KG1" kernel, and that is that. Sometimes (pretty rare) it happens there will be multiple different kernels with the same name in different firmwares, that are actually different. If this happens, they are usually only very minor changes and you should expect them to still be fully compatible. I include the "XX" and "OXA" identifiers so the very advanced users can deduce from which full firmware I have taken the kernel file.

I Rooted my Brazilian Galaxy SII ICS 4.0.3, following a video tutorial, from this guy on youtube (cant post links cause its my first thread):
/watch?v=6KFgwqE4yoE
Im having a yellow triangle at start screen (Cause its Rooted), but the problem is that I cant install anything on my phone now cause of errors in SDCARD, few games were uninstalled automatically (when i try to run them it appears "The application is not installed on the phone")
The firmware the guy used in the video is different from mine (saw that after rooting :crying: )
I found how to fix, but i cant find my firmware ANYWHERE! Here it is:
3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505

Is there anyway I can get it? I bought here in Brazil, in google I can only find foreign ones...
Appreciate any help,

Hi,
thats the Kernel not the Firmware
you should be able to flash any Firmware - maybe try it again or follow the xda Guides (try search)

I searched a bit but how do I flash it? I found few fix like unmounting sdcard, but always see that "flash" thing...
Sorry for stupid question :O
Thanks,
Vitor.
Just click the link - theres a guide
If you are not rooted you flash it via Odin , its quite simple just follow the instructions
Just reflash any stock rom (maybe one nearby your location - just for language issues xD) and look if the problem is still there
Remove the triange via Triangle Away from ChainFire (just apears if you flash a custom rom or kernel, stock s doesnt increase the flash counter)
Yay
Appreciate ur support, I followed the link and fixed!
Working perfectly now
Clicked on that thanks button for u.
Thanks,

Heya
I'm rooting my phone for the first time. Had a quick look around the web and couldn't find the exact instructions for rooting the stock XXLQ6. However I have read that using the instructions set for xxlq5 is safe and won't cause any major issues.
Should I root the XXLQ6 using XXLQ5 instructions?
If not, please recommend any(safest) instructions on how I should root the XXLQ6.
Flash siyah kernel from www.gokhanmoral.com. Download the odin flashable one and flash it.
I suggest you be extremely careful if you follow another guide, since the stock kernel you have is dangerous and can hardbrick your phone.

That kernel is rooted. When you flash it, you wont have to do anything else to root it. Simply flash it from the pda section in odin.

Hey Jokesy
I done the rooting few minutes ago through Spiralzz method. (odin and the siyah kernel from gokhan moral site)
Was that a bad solution?
What should I check in order to ensure that my phone was rooted successfully?
I notice during boot mode there is a yellow triangle that displays. Is there anyway to get rid of that?

Hi. I'm new to rooting and i would just like to make sure that I can use siyah kernel to safely backup/restore and wipe data/factory reset. I have the emmc brick bug (i checked using the app in the play store). It read that if i use stock kernel that i can hardbrick my deivce if i wipe data or restore a backup but is it the same situation with siyah kernel. Is is 100% safe to use this kernel. Sorry if this is a stupid question but i couldn't really find the answer anywhere else. I just want to make sure doing this will be safe.
My galaxy s2 is on 4.0.4 , i9100xxlq6 and pda is i9100xwlpt
Thanks

Please provide answers to these questions:
1. Do you know how to use Odin?
2. Do you have external SD card?

I have never used odin before but I have watched many YouTube videos about rooting so I have a little about how to use it but I'm not quite sure.
As for the sd card, I don't use one but I do have one lying around from my old phone.

Don't wipe anything, or make any backup after rooting your phone. Let me know when your phone is rooted, then I'll guide about flashing a custom kernel immediately. This way you are safe.
Or
If you are so, so scared, then i will advise you to flash a custom kernel via Odin at once. This is faster and safer in your case.
So which one do you prefer?

So can someone please help me how to root my phone or any other solution hot to avoid network lock control key.
Thanks in advance

Rooting
Hey there,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II, the info about the phone is in the attachment (Screenshot). I have been considering to root my phone lately due to the problems with my GPS. I have understood, that by rooting my phone, I can have access to such apps as FasterFix and GPS Aids which should solve the problem of changing my NTP server. I guess, that since the phone was bought abroad, it hasn't got the correct server in my country. So tell me, what is the best and the safest way to root my phone and is it even a good idea? Maybe you have other solutions? Anyways, I hope for your help, dear XDA-Developers
Cheers,
Olev.
EDIT:
Just checked the Got Brick bug? app. Found out that the kernel indeed is Known to have the bug. Really hoping for your help in solving this problem before I do something wrong with the phone.
Thank you in advance,
Olev.
