[Q] ] Android 4.1.2 root - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can you get root and have everything stock(firmware, kernel)?
If I install siyah kernel or any other kernel you don't get OTA. I want to have root and still get OTA.

I don't think you will get OTA after installing CMW. If someone tested post here.

It's a temp recovery, don't think it would matter.

Isn't there a method to get root through ADB? So I can keep everything stock.

Don't think so.

Cf-root is probably the closest to stock kernel with root. And as far as I know, you do get ota updates, but you'll obviously lose root once you update via ota, kies, etc.

As above and monitor XDA/Samfirmware for updates and flash latest stock roms through mobile odin.

First use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter and then use Check Fus to get the latest firmware for your phone. Afterwards flash the same using Odin.
I reseted it first time flashing rom so its already 0
Invalid HIDSWVER with Check fus

Oops, I missed that, sorry. No it will not come back as long as you flash stock firmware only.

[Q] Today update ?

hello , today i receive ota update in my galaxy s2; i download files 13mb
but after restart a message appears : can not install update try with Kies , any information about this update ?
Your actual ROM version? Your country? Try to use Kies and tell us the before and after version so we can understand it much better.

Thank Julian
my actual ROM : android 4.0.4 I9100XXLQ6 - My country Algeria ; i try with KIES but no update
Are you using a custom kernel? That can be the cause of a failed update.

Hello, flash back to an unmodified rom. Flash the whole rom and do not root it or flash a custom kernel over it.

thank you ; can i unrooted it without flash ?
I wouldn't recommend flashing a stock 4.0.4 kernel though unless you're sure you're not going to need to do a wipe.

Is there any way to root device without using pc?

Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Of course there is. And using the phone app is no excuse for not searching.

Getting this message everytime I open clockworkmod app

I have just successfully rooted my device, but every time I open clockworkmod I get this message, what does it mean and how can I fix it.

Here the image that didn't get uploaded for some reason
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Still no image.
The Clockworkmod app hasn't worked since 4.0.4 I believe.
Regardless should not use apps like:
Clockwork Mod app
Recovery executer
ROM manager
Its always best to use recovery manually, so when Android doesnt work, youre familiar with the recovery menus
It didnt upload it once again, here is it

Can anyone help me with this. my i605 just suddenly went into roaming. it was rooted and unlocked running slimkat rom at the time. figuring settings problems i restored to the stock rom and still the same problem. so i odined back to the stock 4.1.2 firmware and still in roaming mode.
Hi,
Hopefully your IMEI is still there.... I found these threads through a Google search. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453679

Looks like doing a factory reset after an Odin back to stock has fixed this issue for some people. Another thread said to do the factory reset within the ROM settings (not in recovery). Maybe you could try reset it both ways to see if either works. Good luck.
