If u have installed a siyah kernel, then u already have a cwm recovery to check: vol.up+home button+lock button
Hope this helps, cheers

Rooting S2

Hi! I attempted to root my S2 via a method I found here whereby I flash an insecure kernel then root using S2 root. I followed the guide to the T and still my phone is only ''partially rooted'' according to rootchecker and no root apps could be granted su access.
I am running ICS 4.0.3, Baseband Version XXLPS.
What should I do next or should I accept defeat and leave this phone unrooted? What could I have done wrong?
Thanks in advance for reading.

flash the latest siyah kernel v3.4.1 either from ur recovery (use siyah .zip file) or thro Odin ( use siyah .tar file) and then see
Thanks Sun!
I have downloaded the Tar file. I assume what I do now is flash it onto my phone and retry S2 Root again?

If you flash Siyah you will be already rooted.
Ah, then perfect. Thank you!

Either I am an uber noob or there is something wrong!
I downloaded the Siyah 3.4.1.tar kernel from gokhanmoral and flashed via odin and the phone sat at the boot screen with the little yellow triangle on it. I left the phone on and running like that for 10minutes.
I flashed my insecure kernel back on from last time (the one I used when trying to root using s2root) and it is fine again.
Anywho I am back to square one! -.-

ok buddy follow this steps to reroot ur phone in a proper manner.
1) Dwnld the official ICS firmware(4.0.3) and flash thro odin
link Here
2) after that please dwnld the Matching Cf- root kernel and flash thro' ODIN
link Here
ur phone will be rooted properly and should wrk fine
ps- read the OP of both the threads carefully and follow the instructions over there to root ur phone successfully
If you only need proper root, no custom or insecure kernels and no yellow triangle, look at the guide in my signature. Worth the try

Hey i had a similar problem. There is a superuser n buybox zip file that you will find on one forum here,that is about basic how to root. Copy those files to your phone then go to recovery and apply zip. I had a hard time with my phone partially rooted but thay solved it

after changing rom cwm doesnt work on recovery mode

i have installed the ResurrectionV1.0 remix ics exclusive 4.0.3 rom and now i want to change it,
i have the cwm app but when i run the phone on recovery mode cwm does not go up.
i'll appreciate your help
I believe that was when there was no custom recovery included. Why version 1 anyway? Try find the CWM.zip file on the RR thread. If you can't, flash a stock ROM, then root your phone with CF-Root and you will have your CWMR back to flash to your hearts content.
EDIT: Before you do what I said, can you flash files using the CWM app? Also, are you using the correct button combination for recovery? Its home button + power button + volume up button.

i'm looking at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
and i don't understand should i burn a new karnel and if soo which one ?
and could it be that the CWM does not work because the karnel virsion and the ROM virsion does not fit ?
because when i go into the CWM app it says "This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-ROOT v5.0 or newer. it appears you are running a diffrent kernel. various features have been disabled"
sorry for veing soo slow i'm just new at this stuff...
Dial *#1234# in your phone dialer and post the results.

[Q] Installing CM 10.1 Installation Aborted Status 7

Hi, im trying to install the CM10.1 on my phone, i already flashed the ClockWorkMod-Recovery 5.5.0.4 on the phone. I tried with Cloclworkmod recovery 6.0.0.1 too and i got struck on status 7. I also tried downloading another ROMs from cyaongenmod's page, but i get the same error. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi przemcio510, where can i find it, I just found 6.0.1.1. Thank you for replying
Status 7 generally means you are attempting to install a ROM that does not match the model number for your device.
Where did you download the ROM, and what is your exact model number? (the model number will be printed on a label underneath the battery)
While going from xxslj to cm10.1 I faced the same problem. I restored my previous backup which was rootbox and then I installed CM10.1 and it worked without any problem.
Of course this will work only if you have backup..
Else you download siyah kernel for s2 from gokhanmoral.com flash it via Odin and then try to install whatever you want to

JB 4.1.2 Official Spain

Hello guyz!
Ive installed official jb rom and philz kernel....
How i can do this phone rooted???
Because i go to titaniumbackup and it shows me that i need busybox etc...
Thanks for all!
Do you have PhilZ kernel installed? If yes then you are rooted.
See if you have root by searching "root checker/validator" etc in Google play. Download the app and it'll tell you if you hav root or not.

By using a rooted kernel?

Ye. If you installed custom kernel then you have root. Just look for superuser or supersu app. If you dont have it flash Siyah latest in CWM or Odin and you will have root

Check with "Root check" from play store just to be sure.
The other day a guy flashed philz and couldn't use any root function/app, crazy.
i check my phone and i says that it has not root.... :/ but i ve installed philz kernel and i working with it... whats the problem?
good question....download philz again.
If it doesn't work, flash siyah via odin.

My S2 is running well with this root method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794 and the stock kernel.
