Could someone help me out, i have looked everywhere for a 100% working root for Samsung Galaxy s2 i777 4.0.4 ICS, i have tried a few diffrent roots like galaxys2root and the camera wont work or the video wont work or bluetooth, thats why i am looking for a root that is 100% working, If anybody has any information on this topic please let me know because ive been searching for over a week now. I'll be watching the forum to see if anybody replys to my post, Thank in advance.
You need to learn how to search better if after a week you didn't come across exynosabuse

I never said I didn't find any, I said I haven't found any that work 100 percent, there's always something that doesn't work, you don't have to sound like a smartass when I was only asking a simple question, and I know how to search and research perfectly fine thank you..

I have a SGH-i777 and Affected Exynos 4210 devices:
- Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000
- Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100
- AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I777
so no im guessing exynosabuse wont work
Guess again. I used it, and used my phone for nearly a week before I flashed a custom kernel and rom. I never noticed anything not working. Though if you are running 4.0.4 I would suggest doing some more research here. Read, read, and read some more. Then flash a custom kernel and rom. Your phone will thank you for it.

It DOES work. But if you don't read everything about the app and use it correctly, it won't. But yeah lots of people are using it here to get root on 4.0.4
If you're afraid of exynosabuse, do this.

That is exactly what I said. Just read everything carefully and make sure you understand what you are doing.
Do you honestly think that we would all be rooted and put up with **** not working?
all the proper methods you find on XDA ARE 100% working.
what is irritating is the number of threads that have come up within the last 2 weeks asking this same damn thing, and the same damn answer has been given each time. it is obvious you didnt read those threads.
Sorry for bad English. When I get phone, it had Android 2.3.6 To get root and CWM I just flashed Siyah kernel for GB with Odin. I think there is must be Siyah for ICS. Try it. And yes, it will end warranty servise. Good luck!

Hi all,
I tried rooting my ATT S2 using the instructions here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414) and everything went perfectly fine, except at the last step where I launched S2 Root, it launched but couldn't see the phone.
Despite all that, now the back button doesn't work and more importantly I cannot send or receive phone calls. I can make and receive the call, but there is no audio.
I guess for now I just want to go back to the stock kernel.
Any help is greatly needed, this is my work phone so I need to get it working again ASAP.
Thanks
Flash a stock rom..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Flash a Stock ROM and use CF-Root if that method fails.
Thanks guys!
I'm new to this, if that wasn't apparent.
So where do I go to get the stock ROM?
Okay, so I found the original ROM and flashed using ODIN, the yellow exclamation mark has gone away, which I assume is a good thing, but the back button is still not working and there is no audio for phone made or received.
Any ideas?
I think the stock rom should be a wipe one...

Sorry oinky, only other choice I saw was the 4G S2, which I don't have, so this forum seemed closest.
But as far as the recommendation, what would you suggest?
In desperate need to get this back online, can't send or receive calls!

easiest way
i rooted by using zedomax's method with zerglings.. you press like two buttons.
i have the i9100m, so not sure if it will work on "g"
he does say it will work on all varients
just search galaxys2root on google and he should be the first link
hope this helped! im a noob to the forum, but have been rooted for a month or so now

First, that's NOT zedomax's method. He regurgitated zergRush, which was the work of DoomLord and some other contributors - of which he was NOT one of. And I don't think he gave credit, either.
Second, I believe it doesn't work with newer releases of 2.3.6, which the OP is on.
Third, the OP already said he tried this method. (well, actually, he said "zerg". Pretty safe bet he meant this)

I figured you did, you asked a question in another thread I answered, where I told you explicitly to use G kernels.
However, I don't see any attempt on your part to "unbrick" your phone. Have you tried at all? Sometimes "bricked" phones are recoverable... How is it "bricked"? Does it boot? Can you get it into download mode if it can power on?

sorry, i knew that wasn't his method, i just meant he used it to root his phone. I wasnt meaning to give him ANY of the credit for it, although he does advertise it pretty well for noobs.
And i wasn't aware that it didn't work for the newer versions, i rooted not too long ago and it worked fine, but i don't think my carrier updates firmware often..
i was just letting him know my experiences

That is absolutely ridiculous.
Look children, this is what happens when you cant be bothered to search, you go and pay some idiot to do what you should have done in first place, ie search, read, learn and do.
If you had search you would have found many topics that recommend various unlocking apps from play store or on xda and unlocked you device in seconds.

Okay so my questions are -
I am Running 2.3.6 Gingerbread Stock on my i777
I bought this phone second hand so i dont know about the past of this phone.Also i bought this phone is US and then came to India.
My Phone -
Stock Kernel - i777UCKK6
Stock Rom - 2.3.6 - Gingerbread
I've read that many people are having problems on galaxys2root.com and have even bricked their phone by Installing wrong kernels.
So can you please tell me which Kernel i should flash ?
And which rom should i flash ?
Also will Flashing a new rooted ROM on my phone Lock my phone with At&t ?
Search and read.

It's best to stay away from that site entirely. The site developer has multiple similar sites for many different phones, and apparently does it for the money, and is not really very good at helping people. Also, while he is a developer, his products sometimes, as you mentioned, cause severe problems.

It's best to make your own choice. The best roms are available on these xda forums. If you don't like the first one you try, you can always switch.

Some of the JellyBean based roms will. SHOstock3 will. Most of the others won't. If that happens, you can unlock it again for free with GalaxSim Unlock, as long as you download it from the developers thread and not purchase it on the market.

On a side note, ShoStock 3 will not cause loosing the unlock status for every devices. I haven't lost my unlock status after flashing ShoStock 3.
