You are on the right adress.
If you follow these steps you can root your phone in 5-10 minutes.
1. Turn on your phone, connect it to your pc and install the drivers of your phone (so your phone can connect to your pc)
2. Turn of your phone and remove the usb cable
3. Hold the volume down button, power button and home button for like 10 seconds so your phone go to download mode, press volume up so your phone go further
4. Put the usb cable in your phone and connect it to your pc.
5. Open Odin (download link after tutorial)
If your phone is connected correctly you get a yellow bar with COM: (then a random number)
6. Press ''PDA'' and select the .TAR file (download link after tutorial)
Be sure its a .TAR file, otherwise your phone will brick
7. Press ''START'' your phone will root now, after the root it will reboot automaticly, check if you have this apps: CWM and SuperSU.
Download link Odin:
http://db.tt/fqvwktih (unzip it and copy ALL the files to one folder)
Download link root file:
http://db.tt/kbEY1fEZ (this is the .TAR file)
If you need further help just DM me.

Which JB ROM you want?
Im running RainBox ROM v8.1, i recommend this one, its very stable and very fast.
Sent From My Rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 JB 4.1.2 (GT-I9100)
or.....look for the cmw.zip and su-busybox-installer.zip. root via sd card; painless.
they are here somewhere, along with tutorials & stuff.
and i think he's looking for JB leak, not custom ROM.
from sii xda-ded
If he follow my tutorial i can help him flashing leaked ROM, i rooted 4 S2's on this way dude, i know what im doing.

i know you know. the thing is that for some people the words "odin", "plug to pc", "may brick", "download mode" are creepy as hell.
u gotta try to lay out all options available for him.
wouldn't you agree?
from sii xda-ded
Before I discovered this great forum I logged onto this guys site which gives/ links to youtube videos on how to do root your phone, literally follow him step by step
galaxys2root . com
obviously this site will be your best resource for getting the roms after you root although your in the UK not sure if the roms work over there?
always youtube what you wanna do with your phone. you always have xda to back em up ....or not.
from sii xda-ded
Thats a great site, but what i said, i rooted 4 S2's on this way so it work!

I am personally still using clockworkmod + Darksidewipe as its what I started with and appears hard to brick your phone with this method although I have personally not tried other methods
lol i first rooted with DoomLord oneclick in GB (which was crazy-to-experience), updated to ICS and went with CMW.zip & SU-Busybox-Installer.zip thru recovery. Then i bought mobile odin pro and i dont have to worry about rooting anymore in my sii life.

If the picture attached to his original post #1 is his phone, then this will break it for sure.
OP, is that an actual picture of your phone? Or did you grab that off the internet somewhere? Because as I said above, that picture is of a GT-I9000, or Galaxy S.
If you are ABSOLUTELY SURE you have a GT-I9100, or Galaxy S II, then by all means, ivenoev's post may help you. You can be sure of this by checking the model number on the label under the battery.
Either the OP is trolling or should never be allowed to own a smartphone ever again :-|

Yeah, I'm not sure.
first you should install
"samsung kies"
in your computer and the computer will install the driver for your phone
after you done that, boot your phone into download mode, please follow the step below:
1. turn your phone off
2. press volume down, menu button and power button at the same time
3. release all the button immediately when you see yhe boot screen as picture attached to you post above
4. plug the phone to you computer
and then you can flash your rom via odin
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
after you done the step above, please download and flash rom as stated by ivenoev
please comment if you have successfully install the rom via odin
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
please check your phone carefully, or the box that came with it. i am pretty sure you got to the wrong section. that's why you got your phone brick.
return to galaxy S forum to look for any ROM you like.

Hello guys.
I recently bought the Galaxy Note i717 locked to Rogers (Canada).
The seller told me that he has installed custom rom on the device. I thought it would not be problem but it seems like my phone is kind of laggy compared to others'.
I tried to connect KIES to install the original ICS firmware but my mac does not recognize my note.
The message on KIES when I connect USB cable is that ' device not responding '.
I tried turning on/off the phone and USB debugging mode.
I haven't back up my phone as I could not get it connected with computer.
My phone is samsung sgh i717
Android Version is 4.0.4
Broadband version is i717UCLE2
Kernel Version is
3.0.9-perf-I717UCLE2-CL526350
[email protected]#1
Build number is IMM76D.UCLE2
Please let me know how I can upgrade to normal ICS without losing data..
I am really stuck and new to Android System. (therefore I am a noob)
HELP ME!!!!

Install CWM Recovery and you can install any of the custom roms. All you have to do is install CWM and put the downloaded rom on your SD Card and install it with CWM. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526431 and download the one that says ODIN in the first post then read the instructions to flash CWM Recovery with ODIN in post two on the page link above. Now you can flash roms without needing your computer. Now you can head over to to the development area for the I717 Note and pick a rom to flash with CWM. make sure you read the instructions for each rom cause it will tell you to do a full wipe on most and you do that inside CWM. Another tip is that you will never ever need KIES and the only use for it is having the Samsung driver that get installed with it so your PC will sync with your device. KIES is kinda useless.
EDIT: you probably already have CWM installed. Before going and tryin to install it hold down the power and volume up volume down at the same time and the device will shut off but keep holding down those three buttons. Now the device will vibrate and the Samsung logo will appear, let go of the power button but keep the volume buttons pressed in and CWM should pop up after a few seconds. If you have CWM already installed do not flash it again just find a rom and flash it through CWM like I stated above. In CWM the volume buttons move you up and down the list and the power selects.

Go to this thread for a quick tutorial on flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586223
There is no "original" ICS firmware for i717. As of yet no i717 ICS firmware have been released by carriers, save for the unofficial leaks, which you seem to have.
If you want to go back to stock firmware of Rogers, make sure to do a factory reset in CWM and then flash a stock GB ROM. The other choice is to wait for the official ICS release from Rogers (which I hear is coming this month) and then flash that when it comes out.
Otherwise, search for stock i717R GB firmware on the forums, put it in SD card and then flash it using CWM.
If you don't want to lose your data you could try using Titanium Backup from the play store to backup your apps and data, flash your firmware, and then download titanium backup from the play store again on your new firmware and use the restore function (if you are flashing a stock rom, you need to root first before using the restore function). Don't know how well that would work though, never tried it myself.
Hey I have a SGS2 but its a generic handset from ACG. Its similar to USCC device but my kernel is completely different than any others on the web. If I use ODIN to flash a custom Kernel in my device will it result in data loss or any other harm? I am still kind of lost as to what using ODIN to flash a custom kernel will do to my device other than put CWM and SuperUser on my device.
I would also like to know this. I also have a SCH-R760.
I actually ran through the rooting method, and the Kernel didn't touch the Radio. I didn't have LOS, and I am running Jelly Bean on my device now. You can follow the links in my signature below =]
nice, if you need the stock ever shoot me a pm, and I can get it uploaded.
If anyone is just wanting stock root, it can be found HERE.
could someone please help me asap, im an amateur tech geek and well i tried rooting my phone and i downloaded the wrong kernel and now my phones stuck in airplane mode, no hardware info or baseband info please help me ! DD:

If you can get it in download mode, do a one click Odin back to stock and start over. For my phone I use EL29. Usually if you can get it to Samsung screen, it is only soft bricked and fixable. Good luck!
Install the Galaxy S 2 Drivers
Driver Download
On your phone, select USB Debugging and Unknown Sources from the Settings menu.
(unknown sources located in the application tab in settings at the very top and usb debugging located in the application tab in settings in under development).
Plug your phone into your computer with the USB Cable that came with it.
Download this easy rooter tool
Epic 4G Touch Auto Fixer
Run the e4auto-sfx.exe (aka Root and download mode placer)
Press E then Enter.
Then press H then Enter on your keyboard then press any button to continue.
Your phone will now reboot into download mode. (green android guy that with a downloading bar)
Download Odin if you don't already have it
Odin Download
Download this Stock SCH-R760 File
Stock Download
Select the PDA Option on your Odin and flash it.
This will restore your device to factory default settings. From there you might need to flash your carrier files into the phone since this will restore it 100% back to factory settings.
If you have more questions I am here to help.

Hey, I have a generic sch-r760. I already managed to root but I am wanting to install a custom kernel with cwm attached. Need to get a recovery on the thing and I'm looking for ROMs as well but if I can at least get a kernel with cwm I'll be on the right path
I am sorry to be 'That guy'... But this is not the right place at all for this question.
If there is a forum for the device in question, you need to go there and ask the question. If not you need to go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=456 and ask the question there.
If a noob comes in here and does anything on there E4GT from this post, they will be very unhappy.
I have asked a MOD to move the post to avoid confusion.

Thanks, I had been trying to locate the correct spot so I keep doing searches on the model number commenting and hoping someone can help out and tell me where km suppose to be:good:
Thread moved to Android Q&A since it didn't belong in the Epic 4G Touch but doesn't seem to have its own forum.
Thanks for your understanding on this matter.

This guide works great for the SCH-R760x even though this is a US cellular site
Root Guide with CWM and no Triangle.
Team US Cellular posted some good stuff for this phone on their website. Haven't seen any mirrors on XDA yet

hello guys I bought my first android fone, S3,
it was preinstalled with 4.1.1 version I updated to 4.1.2 using kies but it only changed the version, I was hoping it would format everything and would start my s3 from brand new stage but it didn't, I want to know how can I install 4.1.2 thru pc and it installs the rom from scratch and s3 should boot like its out of box.
kindly tell me step by step which files I need and how to do it.
and like I said im new to android so I have no idea what to search in this forum.
thanks.
***NOTICE***
Before doing this do a back up in the recovery menu, search Xda if you aren't sure how. I'm not liable for any bricked, whether soft or hard, devices. Only use your DEVICE SPECIFIC ROMs and/or Kernels.
***NOTICE***
First off, Google Odin, download and install it and download and install your phones drivers to your computer, search on the forum for the KERNEL SPECIFIC Stock ROM for your S3, there are TUTs on Xda here on how to find out which one is for you, now, once you have the ROM downloaded normally its in .zip format, run Odin as administrator, right click it and select run as administrator, now, plug your phone into your computer and put it into download mode, Volume +/- and power at the same time until you see a yellow triangle, now press the Volume + button to continue, after that look in Odin to make sure you have the yellow COM number, you'll know if you have it, its highlighted yellow and says "COM:4" the number doesn't matter and may be different, if you don't have the COM number then re-install your phone drivers, now, open the Stock ROM .zip file and extract it to your desktop, open Odin and click PDA,now select the .tar file for the Stock ROM and press start and Wa-La, your phone should re-boot in approximately 10 seconds if all goes well.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
You must download stock ROM (multifiles), and .pit file.
You must select the .pit file, the stock ROM files, and flash it. (Everything via Odin)
Are you sure you have the latest samsung drivers for your phone? if not download it from the internet.
And then follow the below steps:
Go to download mode(vol up & down + power buttons)
wait for sometime ,you will come to a warning screen on your phone,press the vol up button,wait again
now check on odin on your computer,odin should have communication with your phone.
And you should have necessary files to unbrick ,if not do the following:
Download the latest firmware>use splitfus to obtain the PDA,CSC and MODEM/PHONE files
you will also need bootloader file and .pit file
Use odin to unbrick.
Easy when done right
