WAIT.
Are you CERTAIN she has an i9100?
If she is a T-Mobile USA customer, then that is unlikely. Check the model number under the battery. If it says GT-I9100, then you are in the right place. If it says SGH-T989, then you are in the wrong forum for that device, and want to be here instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1329
Hardware between the two phones are completely different, so firmwares, kernels, and ROMs are NOT compatible between the two. Flashing stuff meant for the other model will lead you to a potentially bricked phone.
Edit to add: luckily the root method linked above doesn't involve flashing anything, so you should be safe, and it might even work for you.

z4root works only on Android 2.1.

I would have thought devs would have come up with a way by now to get it working on a rooted dog and bone when you consider the amazing stuff that happens on XDA every day of the week.

I'm pretty surprised no-ones got this to work yet too! Shame really as I used to use skygo at work to watch crap when bored.
you can unroot it temporarily
I've tried many times and it only ever works if I completely reset/format the phone back to stock. Just surprised no-ones patched the apk accordingly!
use superSU's full unroot. if that doesn't work - uninstall superSU
Tried and tried ... Still fails to work, I can only get it to work by doing a full factory wipe and restore which tbh I can live without it, it's more of a case that I would of thought people would of patched the apk by now!
Cheers for the help though.
maybe you're doing something wrong, because the full unroot should work

Ics root problem/error please help

Hey a little help here. I have this issue right now (stuck on samsung logo) after trying to root with Odin. I am following the directions on another post to go back to the official firmware but i'm having a problem locating the S/N. This is a replacement phone i got out of warranty last week. I was able to root/unroot my old phone but that was still in GB b/c I didn't update it due to the bugs in ICS. Well this one already had ICS and now I'm having a ****load of problems.
The only numbers I see on the phone behind battery is the
IMEI
SKU
FCC ID
Where do I find the S/N to put into keis so I can go back to the official firmware?
Is it not under the IMEI bar code on the sticker under the battery?
Should see S/N then a number.

No it's not there
All it has is

No because it was an exchange from the warranty device center b/c the last one stopped charging. All I received was a new handset and battery.

if i do so by pressing the vol up + on button and releasing the power button when the screen comes on then No i can't. It just stays on samsung logo again.
I can still enter into download mode though
Try holding power, and vol up and vol down until it vibrates. Then release power but still hold up and down. See what happens then.

If you can download to your computer then flash via Odin in D/L mode then yes, I believe you will start fresh. Just follow all instructions and hopefully, you'll be all fixed.

ERM...you MIGHT just get better results in a forum actually dedicated to Ubuntu. Usually, those issues occur with older broadcomm WiFi chips, which may be what you have, you should check (Google is your friend). It shouldn't be too hard to fix it, but I silent a week a few years ago trying tofix it just bbecause I wasn't patient enough for it to scan for networks.

You should post your wi-fi card model if you want us to be able to help. Without this info we can't do much except recommand you to check in computer setting > software source > additional driver.

Liquid-JB-v2.0-RC8-d2att Is a Killer

I just got my Note back from Samsung 3 days ago from installing this ROM & copying another kernel on top of it. I thought that was my fault. So today I try it again without adding the other kernel and I'll be damned if it didn't brick again. I installed it and December's latest Gapps. Last time it took 10 days turnaround time. This time 2 holidays are in the mix.
I advise anyone to be careful with this one. I've used Liquid in the past with good results. I don't know why all of a sudden that now this is happening. The only thing that makes me wonder if this ROM is 4.1 and the Gapps could be 4.2 and could that cause this. I'm going to leave this one alone from now on.
No d2att is NOT our phone. Quincy att is. Your phone is again a brick. You must jtag if you want it fixed. D2 is the s3 I think.

Thanks guys. I see now. I knew quincy was on the nightly's we use.

Do not install this on a Galaxy Note i717!!!!!
from the moderator
Please do not create a thread that can be answered by a little research. Additionally, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT ROM FOR THE RIGHT PHONE....
I know it is frustrating sometimes flashing devices, but the best recommendation is to REALLY do the research PRIOR to flashing a rom..... not after
Good luck on getting it fixed.......

[Q] Casio Commando G'zOne 4G LTE C811

So, the first Casio Commando G'zOne was a very tough phone. Came stock with Gingerbread 2.3 and no recovery, only a hard reset option. Surprisingly it was quite popular.
Now, the new Casio Commando G'zOne 4G LTE is available stock with ICS 4.0 and will be attracting many consumers. Unfortunately, I don't know if it has it's own recovery or not.
Wanted to know if anyone has got one and if it has it's own recovery or not (aside from the stock hard reset option).
Also, any devs looking into creating a custom ROM for this device? I'd be highly interested in any information on a custom ROM for this device! Thanks!!

Just saw this phone on the VZW site and droooooooled. I'm in construction, so the rugged phone appeals to me far more than all the high end hardware phones do.
Is stock ICS on it functional, or buggy? I'm thinking about picking it up on the EDGE pay as you go plan, but I was curious about usability during the time when I'm trying to root/recovery/flash the thing. It's been a while since I've done much custom ROM building, but if I can get a working recovery, it would be worth trying to build CM10.2 for this

Easy to root I have seen but need recovery. Hopefully CASIO comes out with a OTA.
Koush used to have a generic recovery cooker on his website. Plug in the mount points for system, data, cache, and boot along with some other stuff (I can't remember what offhand) and it spits out a recovery for your device. Might be worth looking into

I'm a noob to the world of all things root I have the original commando the is the m140 root impossible. I'm considering the C811 Commando2 is it root capable All I really want is to be able to remove the bloatware Verizon is likely to put on there. Would that be possible?
http://builder.clockworkmod.com/
This is the one I was thinking of. If any of you are rooted and have the information required here, make a backup up the recovery partition and give it a shot. What's the worst that could happen, you restore the backup? This is assuming you CAN read and write to the recovery with adb/fastboot.
I bought c811 as a second phone to use it in a gsm network, everything works perfectly out of the box but phone is rejecting all incoming calls, I've read exactly the same is happening to people using phone in Canada gsm networks and with at&t sim cards. I've rooted the phone and I've disabled all Verizon bloatware but no luck.
Any clue about this will be highly appreciated.
