Hi guys sorry if this has already been explained but I am the epitomization of a noob.
Anyways I have an S2 which I updated to ICS 4.0.3 via KIES and I would like to root it.
Could you direct me to a thread or explain how?
root you rom with siyah kernel (see my sign for siyah kernel link )
then download Extweaks for kernel modifications
CF Root
Google CF Root and follow the instructions to the letter.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
That's what I used after a few failed attempts with other options. The advantage of this method is that other than root it doesn't change anything else on the system. No new kernels with potential to brick etc.
Just the other day I tried that method, it worked. Anyway, download Siyah Kernel and use Odin to flash it.
Steps:
1. Download http://www.gokhanmoral.com/public/files/siyahkernel/v3.0/Siyah-v3.4.tar
2. Put your phone into download mode (press volume down + home button + power) at the same time.
3. Open Odin (Google Odin 1.85 and download it).
4. Connect the usb cable to the device and computer while Odin is open and it will show in the white box as added.
5. Click select next to PDA in Odin and select the kernel (the tar file) and start.
You will now have root access and Clockworkmod Recovery.

My phone is stock UK ICS 4.0.3 (Base firmware I9100XWLP7)
Would it be the correct assumption that I need to download this file:
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
Load it into Odin (PDA) and with my phone in download mode and click start?
Also does USB debugging have to be enabled?

no you won't have to enalble USB debuging (not require via download mode )

yes go for it
(but still you better flash siyah kernel due to it is always latest not like CF which is way more old and no touch recovery and huge batter hog due to old busybox )
Hi guys
I'm having a strange problem rooting Samsung GALAXY SIII, please consitrate with me and help me if you can:
1- I've downloaded Odin
2- I've downloaded CF-ROOT V6.1 and 6.4
3 - I've enabled USB Debugging
4 - I've checked if the device is recognized on my PC, It's really recogbized and Kies can connect it
5 - I tried flashing the 2 CF-ROOT versions, Odin says "Pass" with green background, the device reboots, but not in recovery mode as it should start flashing SU and CWM, so in consequence, there is no SU or CWM apps on the device, and even no yellow triangle on bootscreen ( which appeared on my Galaxy SII Rooted with CF-ROOT and by same steps, but didn't appeared as I said, on my dad's SIII )
I tried it twice again, nothing happens
what is the prob??
Note : the model is GT-I9300 and I verified it and downloaded the right versions of CF-ROOT
Try this:
-open odin
-untick "auto reboot"
-choose CF-root 6.4 as PDA
-connect your phone (in download mode)
-flash CF-root (your phone will not reboot)
-disconnect your phone
-VolUp+Home+Power to restart in recovery
Now your phone should start in recovery and should start the installation process for SuperSU and CWMmanager
Thank you so much, but I tried this, I'm really shocked because I got the full CWM recovery, not the stock recovery, but it didn't do anything, I tried to do it manually by pressing "Install zip from sdcard" but, I couldn't find any zip to flash SuperSU
Try using odin 1.85
There won't be any yellow triangle for S3.

CF-root 6.4 includes recovery that is why you have custom recovery instead of stock..
After flashing CF-root your device will bot normally and not in recovery..install Supersu from playstore to check whether you have root or not..
Presence of CWM recovery generally suggest that CF root has worked..
Also while flashing thro 'ODIN' do ensure that no 'KIES' process are running on ur PC by checking with 'Windows Task Manager' if so kill them.
since 'Kies" sometimes interfere with Odin
Unfortunately nothing different
can anybody give me a CF-ROOT version with SuperSU and CWM ( maybe older than v6.1 )
If you are using any antivirus software uninstall it before rooting.

Your phone won't reboot into recovery mode when you root with CF-Root.
Open your app drawer and see if you see CWM and SuperUser icons. If so, you are already rooted.
U have to tick "unknow sources" in settings to instal su and cwm manager

You have been quite......Did you manage to root your phone?
If not solved, try using the Samsung Galaxy S3 toolkit. Had exactly the same issue, rooting with the toolkit solved it. One tip for using it, after the Odin flash the phone reboots, just wait a bit and the toolkit will do it's magic.
Thanks all dear friends, I solved the prob by rebooting into recovery mode manually after the flashing operation ends
Ive just decided to root my device, i realized that i had forgot to enable usb debugging mode (if that is the issue), i managed to get to the lockscreen, but could not use the touchscreen ATALL, but the menu/back/settings buttons on the bottom still worked. So i flashed back to the original rom (using odin) then it failed....now when i try turn it on it says..."firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again",ive tried installing different updates but always a fail, even tried different versions of odin...but nothing.... can someone please please help me im so happy with this phone, and cant believe this has happened Thanks a lot, really hope someone out there can help me i would be so appreciative. Thanks again. Kes

Did you root by CF-Root? Did you happen to flash the wrong one? Erica one of the XDA tv killed her touchscreen by flashing the note2 cf root.
Anyways, use Kies for the firmware initialization or Odin a stock rom, whichever works for you. Be sure to have it in download mode for Odin tho

Thanks for the quick reply! yes. I think I might have flashed the wrong rom I have tried both Kies and Odin. Kies can't seem to find the device (I had already installed all Usb drives/updates prior to the root), and Odin fails every time

Hi mate, i have a galaxy S3 19300 with O2 (UK)
so what can you get into at the moment? Recovery? Download mode?
Firstly when you run Odin on the computer, make sure that all the Kies related processes are not running (open Task Manager and kill anything with Kies in the name). Then assuming you can put the phone into Download mode (Hold vol-down, power and home together until you see the Samsung logo), do that, open Odin on the computer and then connect the phone. It should show up ok in Odin. Then you can flash whichever ROM you wish, make sure you choose the correct ROM for your device.

Yes ive been putting the device into download mode, then using Odin to flash the rom. Problem im having is everytime ive tried to flash the rom, it fails right at the end, and i have tried different roms/different versions of Odin. The only Odin version i have found work was an older version, it is the only one that turns yellow in the 'com' box when i plug the device in. All other versions (like 3.07) turn blue not yellow
Blue in the com box in ODIN 3.07 is ok:
you should have something like '<ID:0/006> Added!!' in the message panel.
Try flashing a recent JB rom with ODIN 3.07. If that doesnt work, try an ICS rom.
If its failing again, post the output messages here.
Also, when you boot into download mode, what does it say in the top left - device id, custom binary etc....

ok, I'd try :
Uninstall Kies if you have it installed. (leave the drivers).
Try turning off any antivirus/firewall....
Try running ODIN as Admin.
See what happens...

Just uninstalled Kies, turned off antivirus/firewalls, didnt know how to run Odin as Admin. I downloaded a different JB version, and it worked, but now the phone is stuck on the 'samsung galaxy s3 - GT-19300' screen, this is definitely a step forward, but still not quite there
Cool
ok, now boot into recovery vol up + home + power
when in recovery, choose factory reset or wipe data & cache, not sure what the wording is....
to navigate in recovery, use vol up & vol down and power button to choose.
Hello, as you guys have already figured out, I am new to rooting. In trying to use Odin to flash CWM into the S II, the phone will not boot after logo. Even when attempting to boot into recovery mode the phone just loops back to the logo. I think I messed up big time. Thanks for reading.
Your post tells us that you're trying to get a different recovery onto the device; it would be very helpful to know what you flashed.
Recovery on the i777 is packaged with the kernel, so you will gain a custom recovery by flashing an appropriate kernel. I don't think that the recovery can be installed separately on this device.
using desktop Odin to flash anything other than stock firmware will result in tripping the flash counter, and the phone will display the yellow triangle as the initial boot screen. Flashing custom firmware via desktop ODIN does NOT necessarily mean that the device won't boot, which leaves me wondering what you flashed.
What is your goal? It will be easier to direct you once we are properly aware of where you were, and what you are aiming to achieve.

Thanks for replying to my post. The first thing I flashed via Odin was the CWM KitKatcompatible tar file and that was when the problem started. Right now I'm trying to get the S II to boot past the logo.

Do you know what version of Android was running on the device before you flashed cwm?
My recommendation is to return to stock.
First, download the stock 4.1.2 Jellybean Full distribution, I777UCMD8 from the Download Repository. It's the next to last item near the bottom. The downloaded file is in seven-zip (.7z) format and you need to extract the contents using an archiving program. The resulting file, which will have a ...tar.md5 extension, is the file you will use in step 7 below. Also download Odin3 v1.85. There is a link near the top of the page in the Repository.
How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:
Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.
1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.
2.) Have the USB cable plugged into USB port on the computer, but *Not* plugged in to the phone.
3.) Shut the phone off.
4.) While holding down the vol+ & vol- keys, plug micro-usb plug into phone.
5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.
6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.
7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.
8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.
9.) Click the Start button.
10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.
11.) When complete, you will get a PASS (or FAIL if unsuccessful).
[...]
Once you have the phone up and running, Framaroot with the Aragorn exploit is the easiest way to root.

So it turns out that CWM worked for me. So I proceeded to install the 4.4 ROM haha silly me. Thanks for your help though!.
Hi community,
I recently got a samsung galaxy s2 i777 at&t , everything was working just fine until i installed oneplus mod!
I dunno that a rom could turn my i777 in a i9100 when I tried to flash any other i777 rom I get the magic message, this it's not a i777 complatible rom use a i9100 one or something like that.
model number
gt i9100
baseband
i777ucmd8
Is that a reason I can't answer phone calls?
BTW my intention is to turn it back to be a i777 model how it is supposed to be
I strongly recommend that you avoid that site. We have had many, many reports of serious issues, and some even catastrophic, on the I777 from flashing things from that site.
The latest stock distribution for this phone is I777UCMD8 (the same as your baseband / modem). I would suggest that you flash the full version of that stock firmware, which you can get from the Download Repository.
After returning the phone to stock, if you want to customize it, I recommend that you stick with firmware that you can obtain on this forum in the development section. If you are interested in customizing the phone, you can root with framaroot using the Aragorn exploit. You can use Mobile Odin free or Mobile Odin Pro to install a custom kernel with custom recovery, and then flash the custom firmware of your choice from your recovery. You should be able to find plenty of information in the forums here.

Never flashed firmware before. Should I go with the "I777UCMD8 Stock Binaries (Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean):" firmware cuz I have that modem already?
You should use the I777UCMD8 firmware because it is the latest version of the operating system available for this phone.
Since you don't have experience flashing, here are detailed instructions.
Download the 7zip file archive and extract the contents. You will have a file ending in .tar.md5. That is the file you will select in the pda slot in Odin.

Nice walkthrough, Now when it PASS and it says REMOVED, what is next?
- unplug the phone?
- Flash a new rom? or will it have new one ready to use?
- will it be rooted already?

Will be stock, just like it came out of the box, only Jelly Bean operating system instead of Ice Cream Sandwich. Not rooted, fully stock.
You can use the phone without further customization, the same way you would if you picked it up new.
If you want to flash custom firmware onto the phone, you will need to root using Framaroot with the Aragorn exploit, which you can find on XDA Developers forums, and then use Mobile Odin free or Mobile Odin Pro to install a custom kernel with Clockwork Mod recovery. Then you can flash the custom firmware of your choice.
If you want to customize and need detailed instructions, I'll be happy to help. However, I am going out of town for a few days. The next time I will be checking the forums is next Monday.
For what it's worth I'll be around and can help if need be.

If you don't get the yellow square, and "Added!!" in the message area, then Odin is not recognizing the phone. This may be because you do not have the Samsung USB driver for Mobile Phones installed on your computer, or it may be because you do not have a good connection between the phone and the PC.
Go to Control Panel | Uninstall or Change a Program (Windows 7 - or similar on other OS) and look to see if you have "SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones" in the list. If not, you need to install it. There is a link to an xdaDevelopers forum thread for the driver in the Download Repository, or you can download it directly from the Samsung site.
If the SAMSUNG USB Driver is already there, you should probably assume that you have a bad cable or bad connection. Try another cable, another port on the PC, especially one connected directly to the mother board if it is a desktop pc. Or even another PC.
In some extreme cases, you might have to uninstall the SAMSUNG USB Driver, reboot the PC, re-install the Driver, and reboot again.

I went through it, I flashed.
All completed (success 1 / failed 0 )
rebooting, I removed the usb cable.
And now it stays with the AT&T logo rolling over and over again, the screens turns off and the the logo again, the screen turns off AT&T logo, etc.
Any issue with that?

Boot into stock recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset.
To boot recovery: with the phone off, hold down all three buttons vol- vol+ pwr, until the logo screen appears the second time, then release.

But I don't know if I need another CW recovery, or root it again (if I need root I'll look for the info on the forum, I won't keep bothering with this noob questions anymore guys).
EDIT: I've check that my phone is not rooted, I checked downloading the TERMINAL and try it to use the $ su command and it didn't work, so I think it's not rooted.
Which will be the easiest way to root the phone?
from the ones listed on our forum, cuz there are a couple of links not working already.

Root the phone with Framaroot using the Aragorn exploit. You can find it on XDA. Link.
After rooting, use Mobile Odin (Pro from the play store, or the Lite version from the xda thread, Link) to install AJK v4.9 No Swap kernel. See post #5 in this thread for additional instructions.

Just read the post on the #5 of the thread that u sent me but I didn't understand it very well.
Then, after rooting and installing Mobile Odin, you should flash the AJK v4.9 No Swap kernel. Download the CWM flashable .zip file, open it in an archiving program such as 7zip, and extract the boot.img. You can not flash the zip file with mobile odin, so you will need to flash the boot.img, which Mobile Odin will recognize. However, since you are not flashing the support files for the kernel, if you boot into the stock jellybean system at this point, the buttons will not work. So, after flashing the kernel with Mobile Odin, you should boot directly into recovery, and flash the full AJK v4.9 zip file to get the buttons working with the stock firmware. Or you can flash the custom firmware of your choice at this point and skip the above step.

I installed mobile odin ready to flash, got the "AJK v4.9 NoSwap" cuz I have AT&T stock JB
but in the installations instructions they used the CWM to flash the kernel, I think, and I'll be using mobile odin, but reading ur post carefully I don't got what u mean from here "...Download the CWM flashable .zip file, open it in an archiving program such as 7zip, and extract the boot.img. You can not flash the zip file with mobile odin, so you will need to flash the boot.img, which Mobile Odin will recognize.

Should I just need to use mobile odin flash the "AJK v4.9 NoSwap" then reboot and boot into CWM recovery to start to install the CM 10.1.3 and then the GAPPs, etc? or am I skipping some important part of the process?
He's saying you need to physically extract the boot.img from the zip file and flash that via Mobile Odin, then immediately reboot recovery and flash the entire zip file. This convoluted method is only because Mobile Odin can't flash zip files, hence the need to flash the boot.img.
I'll be out of town for the coming week, and won't be on the forums much if any. If you have additional questions, Steve can probably help you.

Let me put it in my thoughts if I got the idea.
1- unzip the AJK v4.9 No Swap kernel and flash the boot.img
2- REBOOT the device into recovery mode (vol+ plus vol - plus power)
3- (no clean cache, no factory reset) select an unzip file and pick AGAIN the AJK v4.9 No Swap kernel.zip and flash it again.
4- then? should I reboot and start the clean CM installation? (clean cache, reset factory, select CM 10.1.3, clean cache, gapps, reboot?)

I appreciate every single minute that you took answering my noob questions.
The 4 steps you list are correct, but don't forget to wipe the /system partition before you flash CM. That's a big part of a "clean" flash.
