usb port broken
send to official samsung repair service
they wanted 48 € for flashing original rom and setting binary counter to zero
i said no
wanted to reset the binary counter but they still flashed the original rom -.-
so i couldnt root the device, reset the binary counter, refrlash original rom to send it to them
so i bought for 2,50 € at ebay a new usb port
went today to my univerity laboratory and tried to repair it by myself
i didnt heated the pads good enough so two pads teared out
the "new" port was overheated so i need a new one
i cant charge my battery now (i use a dock station by mumbi to charge one battery and i have two batteries)
i dont want to waste more time to repair those pads to buy a second new usb port and apply it too
life's pain

Why do you want to root ??
Any work done on the phone like fix USB port voids warranty anyway .
jje

exynos exploit apk will do, if you're on a pre-XELLA firmware

you have cwm recovery? more details will from you will help you.

please let me know if i'm wrong and CLICK thanks if i help

no i cant have CWM recovery because the repair service of samsung flashed how i said before the original samsung rom on my device. and my firmware is: JZO54K.I9300XXEMC2, Android 4.1.2, baseband I9300XXEMC2, Kernel 3.0.31-1042335.
is this a pre-XELLA firmware? :/

Use an app called framaroot. Is uses an exploit named aragorn that wont increase counter or change your phone status

^^^^^^^ this, by far the easiest, quickest root method

thank you! this solution would work too because of the same exploit but ashraf's solution was posted earlier. but thanks!
*EDIT*
so... i want to flash cyanogenmod now. i think, i have to flash CWM recovery with mobile odin now. im sure, there are enough threads for this issue. thanks all! (thread can be closed)
and a last thing: warranty is void because of the pads are teared out.
on that pic the pads are behind that micro usb port: http://www.jann.cc/_images_big/rpi/Raspberry_Pi_side.jpeg
the port wasnt heated enough, so there was a mechanic stress, that the SMD Pads teared out. to repair that, it is very hard and our university laboratory dont have fine enough tools for that and we can build printed boards until 150 micrometers. im studying microsystems (or in english it is called maybe MEMS (micro electro-mechanic systems) engineer!?) i really can live with the method to use more than one batteries and to charge the one which is empty while the full one is in the smartphone.

All on phone modding? (Root/roms/etc.)

Is there a way to currently root your sgs2 all from your phone? (Without a PC)
For example; Rooting +CWM>install kernel+ new rom/baseband
phone for starting base kk6/2.3.6
Just wondering. I wanted to make a powerpoint about how to root android phones, but I think each phone is so specific that a general method may not be applicable?
Also that most phones need to be flashed via PC for starters? (yes/no?)
I figured generally speaking:
1: Look for your phones model number, android version and baseband,
2: download and flash correct rom (renaming the file if necesary)
3: with phone rooted install ??? (rom/kernel/new bb/cwm or whatever)
I don't know if I can do this as a "general" powerpoint for android, but I can do it specifically for SGS2; however, not everyone has an SGS2
ideas?

Please read the OP. How is rom manager working with ICS relevant to this if he's starting from KK6 GB?
Maybe mobile Odin can work but idk if you can use that without root already on the phone. I had to root mind from download mode using a pc with Odin.
Seems like a cool idea to explore.

When I use rom manager to nandroid it has always frozen upon turning off. Many other serious fails too. I only use it to rename my backups done from recovery mode. Otherwise it's just wasting space on my phone

Mobile Odin requires root.
AFAIK there's no current way to root an SGS2 without a PC. I found SuperOneClick to work just fine, doesn't require you to flash using Odin, but it does take some patience and a few tries, and a PC of course.
I could be wrong of course, please correct me if I am.
I read you can run android sdk/adb from usb stick. Just need the "final" folders installed. Any tips?
There's a method to root + install new kernel from adb cmds

I never do backups unless fresh power off then booting recovery , no rom manager ..
i just was suggesting possibly with it installed cwm can install without a pc.
the only caveat was if root access required to install it as I don't remember and can't think of any way rooting is possible without a pc EXCEPT installing a pre-rooted rom
*which is not possible on sgs2 with standard sammy recovery correct

rom manager does not work to install recovery on the GS2 i777 like it does on your skyrocket

uhhhh....
COMPLETELY different phones, COMPLETELY different hardware. NO....you cannot use rom manager for the i777 unless you are working solely with AOSP builds....in which case you would ALREADY have a CWM kernel
this has been the case on all samsung galaxy s line except the skyrocket/t989. there is no doubt that it simply DOESNT work from stock. its not speculation, its fact.
things are different over here dude. the i777 is pretty much nothing like the i727 aside from sharing a name and touchwiz....

you don't tell people 'where they go' , assumptionally . I'm not any of your lames child and also that post I made had nothing in it disrespectful *not that any respect is owed , OBVIOUSLY I SEE THAT BY EXAMPLE*
mods don't show favoritism they do their job and moderate the forum who were only speaking what they hoped would help another member to have possible options . delete my whole post but due to post count or self acclaimed forum worth f offs are okay right ....
all I suggested was he might want to try to odin lite because of it's root kernel feature and simply asked pirate did he actually try it instead of just telling it how it is oh so known , but apparently not by personal experience ....

[Q] Back to stock for the Galaxy 10.1?

Hi, I was hoping someone could direct me to the back to stock file so I can unroot this galaxy tab 10.1 I had a friend root it for me, but I honestly, at least for this tablet have had nothing but problems. I cannot stand the inconsistancies, and lack of camera use. I did a restore to what I thought was stock, but the tab is still rooted and while I have functionality of the camera's back, the pictures are terrible and grainy.
If someone has a link, or anything helpful to get this tablet back to stock/factory settings for I'd love it. I have been currently trying to fix this. I loved this tablet until it got rooted. Please help.

I've flashed from rooted ICS to HC 3.2, and then updated back to ICS via OTA with no problems.
Unsure if this thread will even be seen anymore, but I just saw an article for the program triangle away. Since I have flashed this tab several times, I am about to send it into the mfg for repair for the cable charge problem it was having. I'm wondering. Will I need to unroot this tab again, use triangle away and reflahs again? Or is this model exempt from the flash counter?

Is it possible to root a Galaxy SIII without triggering the binary counter? And also what is the best way to root and what are the advantages of rooting etc?

I don't think it's exactly possibly, but you can reset the counter as far as I know. For the last part, just use the search. button.

It was just a query like if there was a way to root without triggering the counter I'm sure everyone would go for that option, and it was also a case of if anything happened to my phone like I dropped it or it got water damage and I had to send it away for repairs
No the warranty is not a problem, because if you drop it, it's either still functional and you can un root it, or its impossible to check the counter.

Wrong version of the phone. He has the AT&T model.
OP - Do you know which update you were / are on? If you have 4.3, then you CAN NOT downgrade without risk of really getting into trouble and possibly hard bricking it. If you have not taken the 4.3, and you want to continue to modify your phone, don't install 4.3.
If you have taken the 4.3 update, you'll have to follow this:

Okay so its 4.1.2 now i followed the tutorial and just awaiting on the download! Wish me luck :highfive:
I am not sure how I could be more clear when I asked which version of the software is on your phone. It doesn't matter what the guide said it was for, it matters what is ON your phone before you start. If you were on 4.3 before and you did anything 4.1.2 related, this would be why you are in this situation in the first place. Knowing this would and should have been the first step to any attempt to modify your phone. If, for some reason you don't know (argh!), then the easiest way I can think of would be by the Settings app. Was it tabbed with 4 different options across the top or just one long list that you have to scroll all the way to the bottom to see everything?
The tabbed Settings didn't come by till 4.3 for your phone.
Yes it had 4 tabs
I put the 1.4.2 update on the sd card and tried to install in and it showed a android guy with a red triangle... Did i brick my phone? :crying:

I've been watching this thread since you opened it. Why would you use Chainfire 3D to root your phone?
CF Auto Root would of been the better method for attaining root. The previous mentioned program isn't for what you attempted to use it for. Can you get into download mode?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Ace Style(Straight Talk) sm-s765c

I have just achieved root with a tool called Towelroot.exe, now I would like to install a custom recovery but my device isn't listed in Rom Manager.
Is it safe to flash recovery from a device that is similar to mine?
How do I go about finding the right recovery so I can do a nandroid backup for my phone. I would also like to flash Cyanogenmod so that I may customize my device.
Any help would be very appreciated.
I'm rooted also!
Same lol I hope soon we have a custom recovery...JB 4.3 is awesome but wanna try KitKat.....since rooted with towelroot I got Xposed framework on mine ?

I have tried all day to grab the rom and default recovery using rom dump or some other cmd that never worked.
It's not like my Asus Nexus 7 4.4 Slim Rom that was absolutely easy.
no luck!!!
No luck man I hope someone or developer could come up wit one since we have root access now huh ?
No it didn't.

I tried that one before I tried Towelroot.
I am rooted though I just need a custom recovery
like cwm so I can back up my stock rom.
I think it's going to be awhile.
How did you get TowelRoot to work? I tried but got "phone not supported" This phone desperetly needs to be rooted!

Galaxy Ace Style sm-s765c Stock recovery sucks
Anyone know what my Galaxy Ace Style sm-s765c compares to, I think it's close to the s3 mini except that it has 512MB ram and the s3 mini has a gig I think.
This stock recovery doesn't even have an option to make a backup, what the hell were they thinking. What in the heck would you do if something happpend with your stock os and you needed to restore it or something like that.
I would sure like some help with this, to understand why I just can't throw a recovery that was close to my system onto mine, How bad could it be would it really screw up the booting process? They all boot the same don't they? I would think it would be safe just as long as it's the same os version right?

Is what I did when Towelroot opens you click the Welcome to Towelroot v3 three times then a textbox will appear with some random numbers and the second to the last one is a 4 delete the 4 and put in a 2 and that worked for me.
Hope this helps:cyclops:
That seems to work great. Thanks for your help

I was playing with an app called flashify it let me boot into bootloader mode and this is what it says.
odin mode
product name: sm-s765c
Current binary: Samsung Official
ap swrev s1, t1, r1, a1, p1
write protection enable
would this mean anything? how would you go about disabling write protection?
Something else I was wondering the file system on my Galaxy Ace Style has an extsdcard and an sdcard, they have different contents in both,
Which one is my actuall sdcard? I think it's the extsdcard but I'm not sure.
Edit: Never mind I got it now.
I was able to download the stock recovery 7.5mb and stock kernal 6.1 mb with flashify, I don't know if a programmer could take these files and do something with them or not or if they are even the files I need..
anything yet???
Any success as of yet....
To busy working

No sorry man I need a day off before I can really get anything accomplished
Mon and Tues are days off this week.
Keep in mind though I'm not a programmer so don't get to excited lol.
Have you ever tried the automated cwm recovery builder,
it sucks I don't know how it works but it just ques my files.
The hardest thing about this is trying to figure whats the difference from our phone to others.

Thanks to Ameer Dawood the create of online nandroid availible at google play added our phone to his database, We can now do a full nandroid backup, I don't know how this works without a custom recovery but it does somehow, There should't be any reason Ameer can't help us with a custom recovery,(I will ask).

Hi use towelroot.apk from towelroot.com and tap welcome to towel root 3 times when the box at the bottom comes up change the 1 to a zero so it will look like 1337 0 0 0 4 0 tap make it rain and the device is rooted, reboot the phone first and it will hold root.
Howdy yall...lol. I would like to let you all know I have decompiled the hiddenmenu.apk within the system/app folder and guess what if we can get to these hidden menus it has options to turn off secure settings, however it does require a key.......I just send an email to the samsung dev responsible for handling the keys, will keep you posted also I will post the dialpad codes soon so keep your eyes peeled here.
