Root NFC 9100 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi just to explain how I have ended up here just a little history.
I rooted and installed Cyanomod on my OLD zte blade and the best part of this was clockwork mod backup that got me out of a mess a couple of times when I changed phones.
I bought a new S2 and didnt want to root it as the old zte used to be a bit buggy sometimes. but then my phone was able to be updated to Ice Cream Sandwich and after some reading there are people who arent happy with it so I thought, I know I will root my phone install clockwork mod and backup the rom and if I dont like the new system or it is buggy I can restore it easily.
I did some reading up on here and couldnt find my kernel so I googled it I found a program called unlockroot and it listed my phone unlockroot android
this seemed to unlock it and all was well, but when I used clockwork mod it came up with errors and after reading I think this is because the recovery is e3? anyway I thought never mind I will use odin and do it the other way. but I have not found a kernel for my phone and I dont think there is one. I am not keen on just having a go with a similar one as it is allready rooted and I just need to get clockworkmod going.
the error I get with clockwork mod is
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
baseband no.

Please dont ask me to read any more faq's as they are now confusing me more than before! I think the solution is to somehow change the e3 to e2 or to re flash it. but I am lost
help please
thank you

If you want root and use CWM, just flash already rooted kernel like CF-Root or Siyah.

Super looks good, but don't I still have a problem finding the right one for my build?

Oh jeez. I noticed that you have P version
Then I don't know.

Lol Thank you for trying to help anyway it is appeechiated (even if I can't spell it!)

1. For signature error try this:
- boot to cwm recovery
- install update from zip / install zip
- toggle signature verification
problem should be solved now
2. About custom stuffs for i9100p
knowledge:
-Galaxy S2 GT I9100P = GT I9100 + NFC
Therefore:
- You can flash GT I9100 Roms, firmwares and custom kernels but you will lose NFC function

Jokesy said it

Just to help anyone who finds themselves oin a simmilar position.
As the e3 bootloader didn't have a swith to turn off file signature verification it meant the only option would be to put a non nfc kernel in removing this feature and possibly never being able to get a nfc kernel I decided to use kies and update the phone to Ice Cream Sandwich. This has restored the phone and removed the root so I can use some fussy software. I will wait and see if a nfc version comes out. Till then I will just stay stock.
Thank you for trying to help

P500 Craziness...

So I'm sorry if I shouldn't be creating a new thread for this. It's a pretty unique situation and I couldn't find it anywhere.
I had upgraded my P500 to official 2.3.3. I then decided "hey, I should try out some custom roms because this sucks...". I rooted with SuperOneClick, managed to install Clockworkmod recovery and the set out to find a nice new rom. I soon discovered that there weren't really any exciting ones that piqued my interest because of the new baseband. The baseband thing is also confusing the heck out of me. Anyways, I managed to KDZ Updater back to my stock firmware because I figured I might as well do something good out of this. So now I'm on 2.2.1, specifically LG v10v. This is a Koodo phone if that helps at all. Also, I'm pretty sure CWM is now wiped and super user access is gone too. Spent a good amount of time putting everything back on the silly thing yesterday lol.
First question: Am I now on new baseband or old baseband (having flashed with
KDZ)?
2nd: I keep seeing references to baseband 10 or 20 followed by a letter. Am I on baseband 10v? If I want to use a custom rom, do I need to change it to 10 a,b or c or something like that.
3rd: Seems like mixed reviews on this one all over the place. Can Rom Manager be successfully used on the P500 to install CWM or does it brick it?
Any other info you can think of would be terribly helpful. Please go easy on me! I'm not sure if I made a mistake by creating this post or not...
You can use RomManager to flash cwm, in the past you could softbrick your phone, but this issue is already solved.
With froyo you are on old baseband, so you can use almost any custom rom for old baseband. No need to flash any baseband for these roms.

Hello Crispus222 !
If you are on stock 2.2.1 V10v flashed by KDZ, you have the old baseband.
So if you wanna try custom ROMs you should search those who support the old BB.
But don't forget that you can change baseband without flash stock ROM via KDZ.
ROM Manager flash cwm recovery without problems on rooted phone, I have done this many times
1) Old baseband. If you've used a full stock 2.2.1 or lower rom, than you're on the old baeband now.
2) I'm on the old baseband and mine is 10v. So I'm assuming you're now on the old baseband! Congratulations!
3) Yes. ROM Manager CAN be used on the LG Optimus one whether you have the old or new basebands. Just install ROM manager, choose flash ClockworkMOD and then scroll down to "LGE Optimus One" and hit flash. After that, boot into recovery and you're done!
enjoy all goodies .
u r on old baseband after kdz flash.
now root using z4root . (file sharing sites remember!)
install rom manager from market and install cwm recovery n yeah it works without a glitch but its ur luck too.
reboot into recovery n there u go !

You are and have always been on OLD baseband as you have to flash the new one in a seprate step.roms don't come with any baseband included.10v\or\10s don't matter as that is OLD baseband.20g\or\20a is new baseband.Rom manager can Install CWM recovery on any p-500 sccuessfully.I would ROOT 1st before installing.The brick comes from flashing a corrupt (over the air) downloaded rom & flashing that.TWRP 1.1.1.1.XL is my choice for recovery but CWM is fine.The LGDMP tool is also my choice for flashing baseband & rescue my phone when things go wrong.ROMs run on either old baseband or new but the newer ones run both (but download the link you are going to run)choice.Hope this helps !
Thanks so much everyone! I appreciate the help a lot.

If you know how to flash kernels via odin its simple. Just download siyah kernel for i9100 , install the drivers required fr odin , flash the kernel in download mode. It will give you rot access and CWM recovery. Then yo can boot into recovery,wipe data/cache and install any rom you want. But do not wipe anything n stock recovery since you are on 4.0.4 (which has the brick bug)
you can also root by stock recovery just by flashing a single .zip file. But if you know the way to do it by odin i suggest the odin mehtod.
and to flash JB....MobileOdin Pro.......so you'll forget about rooting with the EverRoot option........................beware of the wipes with 4.0.4 tho, that crap is nasty.

[Q] sgs2 - can't get root with cwm - newbie

Hello people
It's my first post here
I'm trying to get my sgs2 rooted.
I've been searching around forums quite a bit, but quickly got confused since I don't know what ROM I have, nor what brand is my phone (canadian, at&t, south african or whatever).
After looking around a bit I found out that I have an insane chip using the "eMMC Brickbug Check' app, which led me to find that the safest way to get root which is using the CWM from recovery mode without flashing kernel.
I tried it but when I get to clockwork mod everything gets stuck and the message "cant open /cache/recovery/log" pops all the time.
So I'm kind of stuck here, any help would be kindly appreciated.

A good starting point for this S2 variant is HERE(Australian S2 help guide). A lot of your questions will be answered there, just have a good read. The "T" version has the same basic hardware and can run the same roms as the international version. Also there is a cwm that is touch: Philz. Unfortunately both philz and cwm are no longer being updated, although at the moment the latest versions are still good.
hey bro can u help me

Which root method works for SGP 4.0 YP-G1 with 2.3.6???

Guys, I've been reading and reading through thread after thread and can't seem to find a definite and safe method for rooting my Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 (U.S.) with 2.3.6. -I read about superoneclick and framaroot and it sounds like these methods work on devices running 2.3.5 but not the one I have. I want to use voodoo sound - that is really the primary and only reason I am trying to go through the trouble of rooting. I'm just tired of reading and searching now - could someone tell me what method works to root my device described above? thanks.
I used iroot worked first time out of the box
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
I just used Kingo Root - worked fine on 2.3.6. Now I am trying to figure out the next step - creating a nandroid before I go any further. It's proving to be a bit confusing. CWM seems popular but the app page for ROM Manager (I assume I need this to use it?) says I need a kernel that is compatible - where do I get that? I don't want to install a special kernel yet because I want to back up my current system which is working fine right now so I can go back to it. Does the kernel even matter in the back up process? I just don't understand it all quite yet. Should I use TWRP instead? Maybe with that one I don't need a compatible kernel? Help....
