Hi, I just received my replacement i777 it is running stock 4.0.4 UCLK3 I was wondering if anyone found any problems with rooting with the ExynosAbuse APK? If so I will look in to other ways to root it.
Thanks
As far as I know, that is the only way to root 4.0.4 without changing base. 4.0.4 is known to have the sleep of death bug, so you may want to change base anyway.
Do you want to stay on 4.0.4 or are you looking to root so you can flash something else?

I'm looking into reflashing the prior ROM that I was running which was Super Nexus. So nope I am not staying with 4.0.4
I used it, and it worked flawlessly for me. As others have mentioned in other threads just make sure you read carefully when you launch the app and use it to root your phone and not patch it. I guess that read carefully statement goes for anything you do to your phone. Read once, read twice, and read again before doing anything here.

This is what I did when I had stock 4.0.4. This is what you wants to do:
1. Download and Root with ExynosAbuse 1.40 DO ROOT ONLY!.
2. Download Mobile Odin Lite and download your favorite kernel (Recommended Siyah) that is compatible to stock 4.0.4. Extract it to the root of your internal or external SD. Run Mobile Odin Lite and flash the kernel.
3. Download SuperNexus ROM (your favorite) and flash it using CWM Recovery.
You are done!

Hey guys,
I am interesting in rooting my Galaxy S2, as I want to use an app that requires root access. It is completely untouched in that it is not running any custom ROMs, kernels, recoveries, etc. It is in the exact same state it came out of the box, except for the official 4.0.3 update that was distributed via Kies earlier in the year.
What I would like to do is root the phone without ruining OTA/Kies updates, especially since official Jelly Bean has been confirmed. As far as I am aware that means I can't using a custom recovery method such as clockwork mod. I do not want to flash a new ROM as I am 100% not confident with doing this.
What I want to know then is if there is a way to root the phone whilst maintaining the ability to update via Kies/OTA. I remember using an app called Universal Androot to root my old Moto Flipout, perhaps there is something similar for me now?
Cheers in advance!!

I'm looking at that first method in the first link (the one that relies on busybox and superoneclick). It appeals to me because it leaves my kernel and recovery untouched. That should allow me to update to official Jelly Bean via Kies/OTA, right? Sorry for all the questions, I'm afraid I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to these sorts of things.

The methods in both links will not change your Kernel. So you can just the easiest method.
They will allow you to update when update is available

The easiest way
Because you have stock firmware the easiest way is two use philz kernel its stock based kernel that has more futures than the stock kernel and it automatticly roots your phone. Follow this steps.
1. Download the zip from this link http://www.mediafire.com/?rsfvtscivibt49n
2. After downloading transfer the zip to your "SD card"(not the internal memory) of the phone
3. power off the phone
4. go to recovery by holding the power button, the volume up button, and the home button until the kernel menu comes out
5. Wipe chache
6.choose install from sd card or apply from sd card
7. choose the zip you transfered
8. after installing wipe the chache one more time and reboot the device
now you will se superuser app in the menu. Try going to the recovery and see your new kernel
Does this work with 4.1.2 stock jellybean? (XWLSD)
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
1. go to and download http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1534485&d=1354579840
2. place zip on externalSD
3. boot into stock recovery
4. Flash zip from externalSd
5. select Root_SuperSU.0.98.Only-signed.zip and you should be rooted,
this works on both ics roms and jellybean.
this just flashed the supersu app and the superuser binaries
so this shouldnt mess up the ota or kies.
hope it helps mate
Hi I want to root my GT-I9100 without flashing any kernel. I found some thread here to do this on ICS, but I don't know if it is for 4.0.3, 4.0.4, or both?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28178105
stick it in mud for few days probably it might get rooted ...
That's just humour don't take it seriously.. flashing a kernel is one of the way to root and is the easiest way if ur not comfortable with it watch the video on YouTube by galaxys2root because that's the only way u get the super user access...

I've done it such that a CWM.zip file and SuperSU.zip are uploaded to the phone (don't know their original names as I changed them), then reboot into recovery using the 3 button approach which brings up the normal android recovery and select to install from the sdcard (internal or external or whatever applies) then install CWM.zip which will temporarily, for that session, replace the android recovery screen with a CWM one. In my case its a touch screen selection. Then from that CWM install SuperSu. After rebooting you may need to open the superSU app and update the binary (mine may just be outdated though).
The above has worked for 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 but be sure to do research on the hard brick bug involved with flashing on 4.0.4 and if it applies here.
Mobile Odin needs root permission so it wouldn't work while you are not rooted. I haven't tried other methods.
I'd upload the files I have but I'm not sure its appropriate as they aren't really mine to upload... it seems that the files you'd need are among those in the thread you linked to.

Even simpler would be to root using Exynos Abuse then use Mobile Odin to flash Siyah 4.3.3 zImage so you have CWM and then you can use it to flash stuff. Once you have siyah you can factory reset.

Yes it does. You just flash any JB rom using proper install instructions normally written in the OP. Try all the roms it's personal preference. They all have very few bugs

I installed the ExynosAbuse apk by chainfire with intention to root the device,
however, once installed, when go through the list of options, since the patch
option come first, then followed by root, so I thought - I know I am dumb on this - the
first is a super option which not only patch but also root, and the 2nd one only
root, so clicked "patch". Now I can not root my device. and there
is NO option to remove the patch in the app.
So am I doomed, or there is a way to remove the patch?
could I still use thisZergRush Exploit)

I did the EXACT same thing you did. I'd really like to get my camera working again, but I have no clue how to undo what I've done. Any help?
Well if nothing else, maybe you can look at this as a learning opportunity. Remember to always read thoroughly and know what you're flashing / installing prior to doing it. Good luck , happy flashing.
Hello to everyone, im new here, but i cant find a good kernel for my SGH-i777 with jelly bean 4.1.2, anyone can help me with a link of a good kernel for my device? but i cant put the kernel called "AJK" because this kernel urts my camera, and I can not open the camera when i put "AJK" kernel, and STi No power on the device when I put this kernel only appear the samsung logo, and my screen turns black and does nothing more, if anyone knows a kernel without, or with less bug, pls pot it here, thx for ur help. :good:
First off, please use a normal font size. You're not just shouting, you're screaming.
AJK v2.0.2s should be compatible.
You could also try one of Jebo's kernels from here. That is CWM flashable but I assume you already have a custom kernel on it.

Several people have stated that they successfully rooted 4.1.2 using Framaroot. You could root if you are not rooted already, then install Mobile Odin Lite or Mobile Odin Pro and use it to install any kernel you want. Both tools are used on the phone, so it doesn't even require a PC.
While they are a bit outdated (they're written for Gingerbread and ICS), the guides linked in my signature will explain the basics of the procedure.

At least three people have reported that Framaroot worked using the Aragorn exploit, after they updated their phone to 4.1.2 via Kies. So, I'm sorry it doesn't work for you.
You will probably not find a kernel in tar format. So, you will have to root and use Mobile Odin. (This is a completely different program than Odin.)
...or you could flash mr-cook's Cooked v1.1 rom from the development forum. The Cooked rom has a debloated stock system, with root, busybox, and the AJK 2.0.5ns kernel. This is probably your best bet for a working system, but you will need to install a kernel with ClockworkMod recovery. If you are unable to get root on 4.1.2, you could always flash stock plus root 4.0.4 I777ULCL6 and follow the guide in the OP of that thread to install a custom kernel. Then you could flash the Cooked rom.

Thx bro, I flash another custom kernel, then flash the AJK 2.0.5 kernel, and it worked apparently, anything, back to post here
Apologies for the desperate newbie question, but here goes--
I have followed the instructions in the stickied tutorials or tried to follow them so far. I rooted my SGH-i777 using framaroot. No problem there.
I got Mobile ODIN and the latest siyah CWM. I flashed the kernel.
When I try to power on I get stuck at "SAMSUNG" and then phone appears to power off.
I can get into recovery mode using vol up, vol down and power. I see the Siyah screen, etc. But that's as far as I can go.
HELP!

Thanks for your response. I flashed the latest Siyah kernel after reading the "How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter!!" thread. FWIW in recovery mode it says "CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2-Siyah"
I had actually factory reset my SGH-i777 before rooting and flashing so I was running the Touchwiz that comes stock with the SGH-i777.
Any steps I can take to get out from under this rock? :crying:

Yes. Not to worry.
It sounds like the system is incompatible with the kernel. You didn't say which version of the OS you were running before you installed the kernel. Do you remember what it was? Which stock comes with the phone would depend on how old the phone is.
How to proceed depends on what you want to do. If you want to install custom firmware, then I would suggest that you flash one of the stock plus root packages with Odin, and then use Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin pro to install the correct custom kernel, meaning one that is compatible with the system that you chose.

It was 4.1.2. The phone was from near launch but I've upgraded the OS as Samsung has released them.
Ultimately I'd like to end up with CM10.1, but obviously that's a secondary concern at this point to a working phone

Here it is (the stock + root rom): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322046
It doesn't hurt to do some looking.
Use Odin v1.85 for the flashing (google it).
Then find a kernel for your phone (don't try Siyah again :b), like for example, Entrophy's kernel, and flash the zimage file using mobile odin.

OK. The AJK v3.0 NoSwap kernel is the only kernel compatible with stock AT&T JB 4.1.2. However, unless you can get it onto your sd card, it won't do you any good at this point.
So I would suggest you flash UCLL6 stock plus root which is 4.0.4 from here. The OP has the complete guide, and links to working custom kernels. Once you get it up and going with a custom kernel, you can then flash CM 10.1, or anything else you want.
Edit: Cooked v1.6 as suggested by azeem40 is not Odin flashable. It is a CWM flashable zip, so you would have the same issue getting it onto your sd card. The above is your quickest route.
