Hi i just installed the latest I9300XXDLH9 jb update and have read that it can be rooted. So i tried via odin using cf-root 6.4 and all seemed to go well apart from superuser never installed so i installed manually but when i check root checker it still says i am not rooted. Any ideas? if not can i go back to stock? Thanks
You can ALWAYS go back to stock - reflash in ODIN....
Personally I'd try root explorer and try to copy a file in system directory (after making system writable).
If I didn't have root I'd then rerun ODIN and cf-root. Can't hurt....
If root still evades me the I'd go back to the thread and see what they suggest. Also leave post as others may have had the same problem...

I had no problem rooting I9300XXDLH9 with cf-root 6.4 retry flashing.
tried re running cf 6.4 but superuser still wont work and i tried going back to stock but my phone gets stuck at the samsung logo. I had to put jb back on to get it working again. I think the reason i cant get back to stock is because i cant reset the counter using triangle away because superuser wont work.

Stock has nothing to do with the above .

Thanks for your reply. Ok i was rooting two phones one with succes and the other Iam stuck in a bootloop. I used Z4root 1.30 to root . Installed rom manager etc. Made a copy of the system. But the second phone cant restore my nandroid it says its there and does the whole process, But when i turn on the phone it doesnt present the factory bootloop its just get stuck with the rom it flashed. The phone thats working I flashed the axura rom the other was simply amazing 2.5 that got stuck. I can access the clock -recovery menu I have tried to install the rom and restore my nandroid, but none work. What can I do thanks?
Ps Is there a way that i can access the internal phone memory to put a new rom to flash to?

odin back to stock re root and flash again. Have you tried using the toolbox?

So you CAN enter Recovery Mode? If Yes, you can try to flash another rom, or factory reset it, which usually works. If that doesn't work theres 1 more thing to try and this will work.
Download mode.
Odin.
Stock JFD
Off you go to flashing 600 more roms daily

Agree With Factory Reset, i have donde that before and it works
Hi all,
I've been having a few issues with my S2 (Randomly resetting, freezing, etc) - so I decided to do a factory reset - but it hasn't worked.
When I turn my phone on, it wont go past the galaxy logo. I've tried holding down VOLUME UP, POWER, and HOME - but it doesn't boot it into recovery mode.
I've downloaded odin (the phone is rooted) and was told to download a new ROM and then use the PDA button on odin. But the only file type it expects is MD5, tar and SMD. Whenever I download a ROM, I just get a ZIP?
I'm probably being stupid. Could someone point me in the right direction? I don't care if I lose data, I just want the phone working.

What ROM do you want to flash?
If it's a stock ROM, then extract the zip file and flash the contained tar/md5 file with Odin.
If it is a custom ROM and only provided as CWM-flashable zip file, then use a stock ROM to flash first and flash the custom ROM afterwards, when everything works again.
Here you can get the latest stock ROMs => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487, or pre-rooted stock ROMs from here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608071, or use Check Fus Downloader from here => http://fus.nanzen.se/ to check for the latest officiallly released firmware versions for your phone in your region and download it directly from Samsung servers.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I don't care which ROM I use - As long as I get the phone working again. I did download 7comp ROM but I couldn't find any .tar files?
I also converted the ZIP to a TAR but odin isn't picking it up ?!
OK - I've downloaded and installed the latest stock ROM you posted.
It seems to have installed, but doesn't go past the splash screen which says samsung galaxy Sii
Any ideas?
[EDIT] - Phone fixed. I was able to load it into recovery mode and cleared cache. woo
Well done ...now try to go on recovery mode ...if should be able to go....do full wipe...then clear delvik cache...then advance- fix permission ..
Then reboot system ....you are done...
Don't forget to say thanks..

Attempted to root the phone but it didn't work.
I followed a set of instructions, and was asked to wait for the phone to reboot. It now has the "!" rooted icon but won't go past the rooted screen.
System restore and clearing cache doesn't set it back to factory default. Any ideas?

Sorry for late reply. I followed a video on youtube showing you how to root the phone. It looked succesfull as the "!" did appear, but it wouldn't go past that.
So I rolled it back using the original ROM and have given up on rooting it. It's a shame as I really liked Jelly Bean

What means bricked?
Can you get into CWM (I assume you can from above statement)?
Can you get into Download mode?
What happens if you try to flash a stock rom?

After the Jelly Bean update, the device kept in reboot loop and everytime it runs, it shows the screen, hangs, then reboots. I did full factory recovery, restored to the stock 4.0.4 and still the problem persists. It sounds to me like hardware failure. However, I am still able to install ROMs, root and reach both recovery and download screens. Installing stock ROMs did not change the custom firmware counter into "0".
All what I need now is Flash Counter Reset so that the "Custom Binary" is set to "No" and counter is set to "0".
I cannot use TriangleAway app, as I cannot reach apps, even I cannot activate!!
So I need a CWM-flashable one if you can help me on this.

did you try to do a mega wipe to have a 100% clean slate (it is different from factory reset) and try to flash a stock 4.0.4 rom afterwards?
I am not aware of any way to reset flash counter from CWM, maybe there is one from Odin/Download Mode?
TA is the only method .

here you go, just flash in CWM, but again be careful as it erases anything (not efs folder though), hence prepare a flashable rom on your ext sd card.

Thank you. But when I choose to apply zip from sdcard, an error appears showing "Can't Mount /sdcard"
It is NOT hardware failure.
An unsuccessful ROM installation attempt does not damage the hardware. Your chances of having Samsung replace your phone are near zero.
It will help you if you tell us EXACTLY how you tried to install the JB ROM: what tools you used, what options you set, and so on.

1- Downloaded stock JB Rom from SamMobile.com. Unzipped to get the .tar file (XSG).
2- Using Odin3 v3.07, I chose it as PDA. Ticked ONLY "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time".
3- After auto-rebooting, I could work for like 5 minutes on the device using internet, apps, etc. Suddenly, the device rebooted and went into endless boot loop.
I think it is hardware failure, because when I attempted to install CWM Touch 6.0, everytime I enter to recovery menu the phone enters the same boot loop!! Hangs, unresponsive screen, then reboots from the recovery menu!
hi i got a 16GB I9300 rooted with CF-Auto Root.
How can i unroot it completely so that kies updates work again?
i got the stock rom i want.
i think if i flash it over the rooted rom, the cfroot files wont be deleted and so the status will still be modified nd kies wont work, what are the correct steps so is factory state?

Reset the flash counter with Triangle Away, flash the stock rom with Odin and perform a data/factory reset after reboot in settings/backup and restore. Now you can update with Kies/OTA and status will say NORMAL.
