Root your ICS/JB phone S2 + Samsung + not Samsung phones - No more waiting for custom kernels
This topic provides universal root methods to bypass the use of custom kernels. I took the time to write it as I was tired from waiting for a Dev to publish a custom kernel for the last firmware released.
I will try here to reference most threads and ways to root your phone. Some methods will let you root as soon as you get the new ROM, no more waiting for some dev to release a kernel for you.
I will not list here custom kernels that come with root, you can find them in other threads.
As a general rule, do not forget to take extra precautions when you flash anything: ALWAYS DO A NANDROID BACKUP IN CWM
Method 1 - Recommended
Push superuser + Busybox (Now v1.20.2 from Linus Yang) in recovery
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
Now, on the i9100 and some other phones (N7000...), you can flash the attached signed zip files in stock recovery, no more need to CWM.
A BIG BIG THANK YOU TO Chainfire for his support that made it possible and to Entropy512 who pushed me to look for a fix
Attached is the CWM Recovery 4.x non touch version, confirmed safe for wiping. It will not superbrick your phone
>>>>>> Now it is even getting greater with attached Clockworkmod v6.0.1.2 !!!! <<<<<<
>>>>>> Also probably safe from brickbug <<<<<<
Pros
Universal and will probably work on any ICS phone, if you have a CWM image. No longer wait for a modded kernel
On the i9100 and some other phones (N7000...), you can now even root from the stock recovery, no need to the cwm image
No PC needed, only an android device and the zip files that you download to your sd card
Fully reversible unroot without PC needed
No Yellow Triangle (Only for phones with a zip CWM image)
No custom counter increased (Only for phones with a zip CWM image)
Only copies superuser +/- busybox, nothing else is touched, neither /data nor the kernel
No brick risk while flashing cwm even if things go wrong as it will be always overwritten by stock recovery after a reboot

Cons
None since I switched to the CWM4 and CWM6 recoveries (no more superbrick risks under 4.0.4 ICS kernels, only CWM5.x was affected)

Special notes about busybox
The zip files attached in this post install busybox only in /system/xbin. I do not put any symlink in /system/bin
If you previously installed other versions of busybox, I advise to run Busybox Uninstaller v1.0 zip in the thread dedicated to it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853419
It will clean any orphan symlink that could be left from a previous install. After that, install busybox from any of the attached files in this post
The uninstaller in this post, only removes busybox package from /system/xbin. I do not delete any package put in bin, as it is assumed it was put there by another program, not my script. It will not remove any symlink either. So, run the Busybox Uninstaller v1.0 for that

This method was first inspired from Rachmat3 thread here and Chainfire script here (do not forget to thank them). I modified it to work in stock recovery, enhanced script, include Chainfire superSU last version + BusyBox last binary. I also keep a ChainsDD superuser version.
Instructions
For phones affected by the superbrick bug (i9100, N7000) and that has a stock recovery accepting update.zip files (most phones with a temporary cwm.zip file at Clockworkmod site:
You can flash the attached files directly in stock recovery 3e, no need to cwm:
Download the root file:
- Root_SuperSU.0.96.Only-signed.zip for Chainfire SuperSU (the one that comes with CF_Root) without busybox.- Root_SuperSU.0.96-FreeSpace.zip for Chainfire SuperSU without busybox (use only if you have issues with previous one, usually for phones having a /system partition with 0 free space).- Root_SuperSU.0.96-Busybox.1.20.2-S2-signed.zip to install superSU + busybox v1.20.2 from Linus Yang.- Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip if you prefer the classic ChainsDD superuser + Busybox from Linus Yang.- Root_Busybox_1.20.2_Only_XXX.zip to install only Busybox from Linus Yang.
I advise Chainfire SuperSU for 2 reasons: it lets you unroot from within superSU application and it lets you migrate to ChainsDD superuser if you like later
.
Copy the Root_XXX.zip file you downloaded to externalsd card
Boot into stock recovery (volume up+home+power), and select "apply update from external storage". Now select the Root_XXX.zip file downloaded above and you are rooted
To unroot, do the above steps and replace the file Root_XXX.zip by the attached Unroot_SuperUser-Busybox-Uninstaller-Update2-signed.zip. It will delete superuser, su and busybox packages.
For a complete removal of busybox, look here at my Busybox Uninstaller which will remove ALL busybox symlinks (over 600 files depending on installers used before):

To get temporary cwm (to make nandroid backups...) or if stock recovery gives you a signature error, follow the next more universal steps.

For most (if not all?) ICS phones having a CWM image at Clockworkmod site:
Download attached cwm-touch-6.0.x.x-i9100.zip for the i9100 Galaxy S2. This is the touch version but it also works with volume up/down keys and power button to select menu.
CWM6 is now thought to be probably safe for wipe, no superbrick risks under ICS 4.0.4: read more here
I also attached the cwm6 non touch version and the recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxys2.zip. CWM4 is also confirmed to be safe for wipe by Entropy512 Recognized Developer
For other phones, download the cwm image from here http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
.
Put the previously downloaded cwm-touch-6.0.x.x-i9100.zip file on your external sd card
Download the attached root file you want as per instructions above
I advise Chainfire SuperSU for 2 reasons: it lets you unroot from within superSU application and it lets you migrate to ChainsDD superuser if you like later
Copy the Root_XXX.zip file you downloaded to internal or external sd card
Boot into stock recovery (volume up+home+power), and select "apply update from external storage". Now select the cwm-touch-6.x.x.x-i9100.zip file you copied in previous step (this step gives a temporary flash that will disappear after reboot)
You get CWM recovery interface (this custom recovery is temporary, not permanent)
Inside CWM, select "install zip from sdcard". Then, select "choose zip from sdcard". Now, scroll down to the "Root_XXX.zip" file and hit power button to install it.
It will add SuperSU or Superuser last version apk to system/app, last superuser binary (su) to system/xbin and busybox last version to system/xbin, all with correct file permissions.
Reboot and you get permanent root + busybox installed on your stock kernel.
To unroot, do the above steps and replace the file Root_XXX.zip by the attached Unroot_SuperUser-Busybox-Uninstaller-Update2-signed.zip. It will delete superuser, su and busybox packages.
For a complete removal of busybox, look here at my Busybox Uninstaller which will remove ALL busybox symlinks (over 600 files depending on installers used before):

Fix common issues: You end with both ChainsDD and Chainfire superuser and SuperSU
Also another symptom is having constantly superuser asking for updates from market.
Some people are getting duplicates from previous root methods using ChainsDD superuser instead of Chainfire superSU or vice versa when they come from SuperSU and switch to superuser.
Also, this can happen when you updated let's say to a future Chainfire SuperSU v1.0 and later you use one of my outdated scripts (with version 0.94 for example).
The cause is that I do not delete anything from /data/app. I can add it, it is not an issue, but till these brick things are fixed, I chose not to do it.
The solution is very easy:
Just uninstall from stock application manager all superuser applications. The /system/app application will stay as system applications cannot be removed normally in application manager
After that, just update your superuser application from market. Updates are put in /data/app and original copy will stay in /system/app.

Method 2
CF_Root + stock kernel + [optional] Mobile Odin Free version
Here, you use an older CF_Root kernel, and flash your newer stock kernel
First, get a CF_Root kernel from CF_Root thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399. Just get the nearest one to your ROM. You can download any ICS kernel, it will do the job for the root only purpose
Flash the CF_Root kernel with odin
Now, flash again your stock kernel with odin. You can get a stock kernel from lyriquidperfection thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619525
Do not forget to thank / donate to him
No stock kernels for you? use Mobile Odin free version (see below)
After flashing the stock kernel, root will usually stay and you will be reverted back to your stock recovery instead of CWM recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Method 3
Insecure Kernels + SuperOneClick + [optional] Mobile Odin Free
Not tested by me. You get superuser instead of Chainfire superSU + an older busybox
First, get an insecure kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619525
Do not forget to thank/donate lyriquidperfection
No insecure kernel for your ROM? Just try a kernel from same ICS version, it usually works fine for rooting
Flash the insecure kernel with odin
Download SuperOneClick v2.3.3 from here http://shortfuse.org/?p=193 and look at this thread for an overview: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Put your phone on USB debugging mode (System Settings / Developer Options)
Launch SuperOneClick and root using auto or psneuter method. Do not use the ZergRush Exploit as it is meant for older exploited GB versions
Now, flash again your stock kernel with odin. You can get a stock kernel from lyriquidperfection thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619525
Do not forget to thank / donate to him
No stock kernel for your ROM? Use Mobile Odin Free version (see below)

Method 4
Insecure Kernels + S2 Root - For SAMSUNG Devices
The tool and all instructions are on lyriquidperfection thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
It will do the same as in method 3, but using a newer and better supported tool than SuperOneClick
You have to flash an insecure kernel, root with S2Root and flash again your stock kernel
It roots using Chainfire SuperSU and busybox 1.20.1 at time of posting
Author is a recognized developer and offers great support
You are still depending on author to release a custom kernel for all your new ROMs

Mobile Odin Free version
Flash your stock kernel from complete ROM file
Now that Intratech stopped releasing stock kernels in his thread, rooting using methods 2 and 3 can be a problem. In fact, you will not be able to flash your newer original stock kernel after rooting with insecure or cf_root older kernel. You can look in above lyriquidperfection thread for a stock kernel to flash in odin. But, if you do not like to wait for him to release a kernel, you can get Mobile Odin Free version
Download Mobile Odin Free version from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
Do not forget to thank donate to Chainfire
From your stock tar.md5 ROM file, extract the zimage file (your stock kernel)
Put zimage file on external sd card
Run Mobile Odin and specify the zimage file in kernel box like in this image:
Flash, you get your stock kernel and root is normally left

Mobile Odin Pro (Payed) version
Root + Flash - You should consider buying it.
With this method, you will have SuperSU from chainfire (that can be updated from market) but no Busybox.
You can install busybox from market or from attached CWM_Root_Busybox_1.20.2_Only_(No_SuperSU)-S2-Update2-signed.zip file in this thread
Buy Mobile Odin Pro from market here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro
If you want to flash a full new rom, put the tar file on the external_sd. Point all boxes to the ROM tar file. Enable EverRoot option like in image below. Flash
If you flashed your ROM using odin and only want to root, proceed like in Example 4 above to flash only the kernel (zimage file from your actual ROM). Enable EverRoot option and flash
Now, install BusyBox from market or flash my CWM_Root_Busybox_1.20.2_Only_(No_SuperSU)-S2-Update2-signed.zip file with cwm to get last busybox.

Chainfire - adbd Insecure app
Getting switchable insecure kernel WITH stock kernel
One of the advantages for some people in CF_Root kernel is the insecure mode. Now, you can have insecure kernel like behavior without flashing a custom kernel. There is a magic app for that, signed Chainfire.
Thread + free download link here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687590
And you can buy it from market to support author:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.adbd
Instructions, quoted from chainfire
If you are running a stock (made by the phone manufacturer) kernel on your device, chances are adbd is running in "secure" mode, even if you are rooted. This app lets you run adbd in "insecure" mode, which gives you root access in "adb shell", allows access to system files and directories through "adb push/pull", and lets you run the "adb remount" command to make your /system partition writable.
Of course, your device must already be rooted for this to work. It may not work with "S-ON" devices and locked bootloaders.
This app does not make any permanent changes to your device - a reboot will undo any modification. That's why there is also the option to enable this feature at boot.
Note that if you have USB connected when the app activates or deactivates adbd root mode, you may need to unplug/replug the cable or run "adb kill-server" on your computer before adb will work again.

Happy it helped
Hi, I always install new ics Sammy roms using Mobile Odin pro, but didn't know that busybox wasn't installed, so I need to know what is the point of installing it? What is the real use of busybox? I've been using my s2 rooted just with mobile Odin pro without any issue... Every root app that I need like titanium backup, root explorer, etc. Are working great, so I don't know what busybox is for...
Sorry for the dumb question and thanks in advance for the help!
Enviado desde mi GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk 2
Maybe you once installed a CF_Root or other kernel that comes with busybox
If you do not format /system, most system apps are kept, include busybox
Titanium backup uses its internal busybox version, not the /system one
Root explorer does not use busybox I think, but not sure
To know if it is installed or not, look for busybox file in /system/xbin or /system/bin
thanks ,hey can you also post way to change cf root's recovery (non touchable) to tuch recovery that would be really awesome :highfive:

Unless you frequently use cwm, there is really no need to use cf_root. Only really missing thing is insecure kernel to have adb access as root. I will edit post 1 for adding insecure behavior without flashing
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Done,
I added a paragraph at the end with instructions to have adb shell root access like in insecure kernels
Updated first post with new SuperSU 0.93
If you already used this method, no need to flash again, just open superSU and update through market. After that, open app and it will update the su binary
i think guides belong in the general section
nice guide though

Mobile Odin
Thanks for the great guide Phil. A couple of questions..
I have Mobile Odin Pro and I want CWM as well so i have to do this?
Flash new rom with superuser injected, cwm manager and everoot ticked.
Flash CWM with instructions from 1st method
Flash with CWM CWM_Busybox_Only_1.20.1.zip
thats it? I guess this emulates a CF-ROOT kernel right?
thanks again.
No, Chainfire CWM manager app will detect a CF_Root kernel and refuse to launch if another kernel is there
Only CF_Root has Chainfire CWM, a custom written CWM
Other kernels include custom CWM too, look for them
The CWM image here will give you all functions from the original CWM project, but you need to launch it from stock recovery. Just keep the zip on your external sd card, that's it, only more 2 clicks. At the end, you get all CWM functions

In any case, you need CWM image for the method in post 1

I already tried that on my own. Didn't work. SU still tells me that I need to update the SU binary. Manual re root. And I AM rooted! I even wiped EVERYTHING and started over. no go. So, I'm guessing that I need to manual re root. I'll search for that binary where ever that is Oh, I went to the latest SlimBean build #2 for 4.3.1 after CM 10.1.3 and CM 10.2 refused to install on my d2usc. Now CM's Rom Manager won't work, SU doesn't work, anything that needs root access no work mahn! On the good side, everything else works fantastic, except PIE control. But I bet that has something to do with root access, so no great surprise there. I am enjoying every minute of these problems!

I had similar problem. Here is what I did -
1. Download CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747 from autoroot.chainfire.eu.
2. Unzip
3. Use ODIN in the package to root.
4. Install ROM Manager.
5. Install SuperSU(Chainfire) from Play Store.
6. Open SuperSU and update SU binary. I saw a message to disable KNOX. I did it:highfive:
7. Install CWM Touch.
Then I installed other apps that need SU - Triangle Away, Titanium Backup. These apps worked fine for me. I went ahead and froze bloatware.

if you have supersu or super user already than just download update-supersu from http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip and flash it through the recovery mode( custom recovery preferred).
xprivacy / reboot to recovery
In my case I was getting false alerts as xprivacy has blocked system access. (eg was with AdAway) Cleared those apps in XPrivacy and all worked find then.
Also you can try to go into recovery and the try to reboot. You may get message to reinstate/fix SU.

So my device is rooted, but i don't have permission. Tried to copy .su file from xbin to bin, not possible.
Uninstalled reinstalled, unrooted rerooted, reinstalled SuperSu from playstore.
Made sure no double superuser programs running.
Got rid of Knox.
Tried to custom install Supersu update, says invalid certificate.
I believe if i can copy the .su file in \xbin to \bin the permissions wil be there. Bought Rootbrowser but error when copying. Or give permission on file SetUID.
Can't run Bootbox cause didn't install before root stopped working. Also Titanium backup stopped working now.
Any ideas how to fix? Don't want to factory reset. Can't be to difficult to fix.
PS. If this post is i wrong place please advise where itshould be.
Thanks
S :good:

I had similar problem. Here is what I did -
1. Download CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747 from autoroot.chainfire.eu.
2. Unzip
3. Use ODIN in the package to root.
4. Install ROM Manager.
5. Install SuperSU(Chainfire) from Play Store.
6. Open SuperSU and update SU binary. I saw a message to disable KNOX. I did it:highfive:
7. Install CWM Touch.
Then I installed other apps that need SU - Triangle Away, Titanium Backup. These apps worked fine for me. I went ahead and froze bloatware.

Instructions
For phones affected by the superbrick bug (i9100, N7000) and that has a stock recovery accepting update.zip files (most phones with a temporary cwm.zip file at Clockworkmod site:
Quote:
You can flash the attached files directly in stock recovery 3e, no need to cwm:
Download the root file:
- Root_SuperSU.0.96.Only-signed.zip for Chainfire SuperSU (the one that comes with CF_Root) without busybox.
- Root_SuperSU.0.96-FreeSpace.zip for Chainfire SuperSU without busybox (use only if you have issues with previous one, usually for phones having a /system partition with 0 free space).
- Root_SuperSU.0.96-Busybox.1.20.2-S2-signed.zip to install superSU + busybox v1.20.2 from Linus Yang.
- Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip if you prefer the classic ChainsDD superuser + Busybox from Linus Yang.
- Root_Busybox_1.20.2_Only_XXX.zip to install only Busybox from Linus Yang.
I advise Chainfire SuperSU for 2 reasons: it lets you unroot from within superSU application and it lets you migrate to ChainsDD superuser if you like later
.
Copy the Root_XXX.zip file you downloaded to externalsd card
Boot into stock recovery (volume up+home+power), and select "apply update from external storage". Now select the Root_XXX.zip file downloaded above and you are rooted
To unroot, do the above steps and replace the file Root_XXX.zip by the attached Unroot_SuperUser-Busybox-Uninstaller-Update2-signed.zip. It will delete superuser, su and busybox packages.
For a complete removal of busybox, look here at my Busybox Uninstaller which will remove ALL busybox symlinks (over 600 files depending on installers used before):

To get temporary cwm (to make nandroid backups...) or if stock recovery gives you a signature error, follow the next more universal steps.

the instruction is using 96
Root_SuperSU.0.96.Only-signed.zip
but i noticed there is a same zip with higher number
Root_SuperSU.0.98.Only-signed.zip
what's the different between the two ? for my SGS2 with jelly bean 4.1.2 which one should i use ?
also will the unroot method using
Unroot_SuperUser-Busybox-Uninstaller-Update2-signed.zip
will work for the Root_SuperSU.0.98.Only-signed.zip
Thank you
Just install a custom kernel like Philz which will give you cwm recovery and root.

The difference is in the versions of SuperSU app. You can use either one mate.

I was thinking of installing custom kernel, but they don't have the LSD version. at least yesterday i checked on the thread there wasn't
thanks for the help!
Use lsw. Or lss
There is LSD version mate. Check some more.

The only update is super user with philz kernel. Only reason I said lws/lss is because it's newer and updated. But you can go with lsd.

can u suggest me something easy???... like with terminal....
Revert to stock rom and try the manual rooting using SuperSU. You'll need a compatible custom recovery to install supersu.

Have you reverted to stock rom? You can just do a factory reset (root access should be removed too). Install the necessary drivers. Download a custom recovery for your device (TWRP maybe, search it here in the forum). Download the supersu flashable zip (this is an older version, just update after install). Also download the latest ADB drivers (awesome app). Then you root:
(1) Copy the supersu zip to your device storage. Copy/move the custom recovery to the root folder of your ADB.
(2) Open ADB:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
wait for the device to go into fastboot, then:
Code:
fastboot boot "recovery.img"
(3) Navigate the new custom recovery and select "Install" and select the supersu zip file, then reboot.
(4) Check root access.
Goodluck
