Hello,
I recently rooted my phone using the tutorial here:
www[dot]youtube[dot]com/watch?v=P2KhSKpt4hs
after rooting and upgrading I've noticed that when I click my Email icon it brings up my emails like normal but when I select an email it just opens it and sits at
Loading messages...
and never really opens the message.
The odd thing is, when I open my email icon it shows I have new emails and updates the email list but when I select a message is just sits there.
Anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Check out the stickies there are multiple return to stock roms and a number of custom roms for this device including ported ones from the i9100
mkay so I looked through some stickies and it brought me to the rom section. I'm pretty new so all I was looking for I guess is a rooted Gingerbread stock rom?
Not sure if that is correct or if I may have misunderstood.

Well the question is, what are you looking to achieve? Custom stock TW, custom stock aosp, straight stock with no added features. ...might as well just start flashing and stop when you hit something you like

sorry again, I have no clue, basically I am not sure what the options or features are but right now all i was looking for was a rom that was rooted and all the basic features work e.g. messaging, email, web. other than that I am unaware of any other features. I'm not sure what TW or AOSP is but I'll keep researching.
I'd return to stock if I were you, and start reading the stickies at the top of the General subforum, the the ones in the Android Development subforum. Don't worry, you're in the right place
so I was looking at
[ROM][PORT][4.2.1][AOKP/CM] Dirty RootBOX 3.3.1 v2 [12/31][AC!D][ThunderBolt]
what do you guys thing, I currently just rooted from ginger bread and thought Id prolly update it. Knowing im on Gingerbread is there any specail instruction or tasks that i need to be awear of? I have clockwork mod on my phone already.
Thanks

well I was guessing that I'd just keep posting in my own thread. I've given up on the email issue and was recommended installing a new OS on my phone. So instead of posting a new thread I just switch gears on this one and kept moving forward. Is it better just to start a new thread on every question I have?

Alright, I'm a noob...(loved the intro video!) and I've spent an hour or so searching for rooting info for my device. Did find a good thread that was over a year old about rooting SGH-i777 with older android versions, but was afraid to follow THOSE directions since mine has newer version (Android 4.0.4). And I find other threads about rooting other versions of GS2...not the AT&T.
So far I've learned NOT to use ROM Manager, and not to look to Galaxy2Root for help...so I guess there's that. I don't want to be stupid here, but can someone direct me to a thread with Rooting instructions for my phone with ICS already on it, and recommended ROMs. I'd like to have more control over my phone and take advantage of JB releases that seem to be out with good reliability. I'm used to doing this sort of thing on computers, but not with Android. Had my phone for about 15 mos....my first Android.
Suggestions?
TIA...

This is so far easiest thing to do, however be careful, DO NOT, DO NOT,
choose the "one click" patch option which come first, as that will patch
the system and you will NOT be able to root again. and there is NO way
to un-patch. I was not being careful and now trapped.

Appreciate the suggesting. Been researching ExynosAbuse, and looks like it could cause camera not to work, and in the compatibility list, though the Galaxy Sii 9100 is listed, the SGH-i777 is not...seems like a concern to me.

I am also a noob when it comes to anything mobile. I got my GS2 last year (first android as well), and I've since updated to 4.0.4. I have also done some research on rooting(after my fiance keeps bugging me about "fixing" our gs2s due to them always turning off) but I was uncertain on what rom to use. I have no experience with phones, and I don't want to do something stupid and break our phones. I know that I am supposed to " use exynos abuse", but that's pretty much all I know/can find without reading every page on the 80 page threads. Are there any suggestions on a stable(ish) rom for us both to use/how easy is it to "use exynos abuse"? (without doing what tyhust did) We are fine with our ICS and I wont venture into the world of Jellybean yet... (maybe once I acquire some more experience)
Thanks in advance, and for the site in general, there is a TON of information on here...

I'm also a noob... so if I want to down grade to 4.0.3 rooted from 4.0.4 stock, should I use ucle5_stock_rooted.tar with Odin?
Is is necessary to wipe since both are ICS?

Yes, that should be the tar you use. Make sure it's from this thread. You should be okay without wiping, but if you have problems, I'd suggest flashing 2.3.4 and wiping from recovery once on 2.3.4; reason being, stock ICS kernel may brick your phone if you wipe with it (see linked thread for details on this eMMC superbrick bug).
OP, if you're uncertain about ExynosAbuse, try this method instead. I know it works, I used it myself very recently, albeit I was already on 4.0.3 and had not upgraded.

This is a good thread.
I had the same issues with 4.0.4 and i found it was a live wallpaper app (water drops) causing my random "power off". Since switching to a different live wall paper, i have had NO random "shut downs".
I still want to root my S2 and this is the best thread i have found that addresses the stock 4.0.4
good luck.
Well, after a week of no shut downs, my phone just shut off. So i guess the live wallpaper was not the issue.
Back to the drawing board
Not to hijack the thread or anything but I'm new to this phone too. I understand the rooting process on ICS what I don't understand is installing a custom recovery and kernel. Why do you have to use a gingerbread kernel and why can you not just use stock? I've always just rooted, installed custom recovery and flashed roms on Verizon phones so installing a custom kernel to achieve custom recovery is foreign to me. I've been reading the stickies but I don't understand this....is it only to avoid the flash counter being tripped? Is there a easier way to install the recovery or am I making this harder than it needs to be? Thanks for any help!

Our phone has recovery baked into the kernel. For what reason I don't know but I'm sure its a good one as just flashing recovery is IMO easier.
Thanks. Last question. After installing a gingerbread kernel and the baked in recovery do I need to install a new kernel to flash a jb or ics rom. Sorry for the noob questions. Thanks for your help.

Well since every ROM comes with a kernel in it (obviously or it couldn't run) then you just answered your own question bro. Flash away.

If you're just trying to get into recovery to flash something then any kernel will do. Since the system won't need to boot up with that kernel installed you're just flashing one to enter recovery.

So I want to install a gb kernel and recovery only so I can flash a custom rom that comes with kernel and recovery, correct? So before flashing the gb kernel in mobile Odin I should have a rom already downloaded on the sd card so I can immediately flash that? I'm sorry for all the questions this is drastically different from what I'm used to.

Android_lil,
I had great success using the ExynosAbuse. Follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35512626
It is pretty much as simple as installing the APK. I think I stayed on the stock 4.1.2 for about a day before I started flashing other ROMs, but I didn't notice any problems...
Have fun!

Check out the thread that was made for the new stock release. Apparently you can root with something called Framaroot. I've never used it but someone in that thread confirmed that it worked for them.

I am pretty sure they patched this exploit with the 4.0.4 udate. I don't think you will have any luck with ExynosAbuse. You will have to use more traditional methods. Start with the stickies in the q&a section of this forum.

I used Framaroot. Just download the .apk file, install it, run the app, and choose the "Aragorn" exploit. It will run, then tell you that you need to restart. Very easy.

Now that you mention it, I was at 4.04, not 4.1.2. According to my notes XynosAbuse was successful for me. Regardless, it still means my experience doesn't help the OP, since it was the wrong version anyway.
Thanks!
---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------
I read through more of the XynosAbuse thread and confirmed. Yes it works on 4.04, the patch was in 4.1.2. So, to the OP: XynosAbuse will not work for you. Sorry to mis-lead. Glad I could at least clarify what _won't_ work...
Framaroot worked for me using Aragorn exploit on newest stock 4.1.2 release via kies.

I have spent the last 3 hours trying to educate myself on all this stuff. I have an AT&T I777 running the 4.1.2 that AT&T released recently. It runs fine but I've read so much of the advantages of rooting and custom roms that I figured I'd give it a try. This couldn't have been easier! I understand that the way to understand if the root was successful, I should have the "Superuser" app which I do! The whole process took maybe 5 minutes! Thank you for posting this!
Well yes super user will be installed but that's just an app used to allow apps superuser access. That isn't what roots the phone or anything. You could have root access without having that app installed, it just would be far less secure because you need some way to regulate what apps can do what.

I haven't heard of any other way of rooting. Framaroot has worked for almost everyone though. AJ Newkirk has recently posted a kernel with no swap that will work with stock 4.1.2. See the OP of the AJK kernel and use the third one.

I'm back around after trying out the dark side for the last few months. I got my real estate license, and had been using....an iphone....lol. I had to try it. And ya know, its not all THAT terrible. But there are NO customization options, and it gets really boring. So after denying my inner nerd for the last few months, I decided to just be myself again and come back to what I love. I missed it around here. =D
Okay so I have a Samsung galaxy s2 gt-i9100. I have rooted the phone and I thought to have installed cwm (which came with the root)
but I still boot into stock recovery (even though Rom manager tell me I have cwm 5.x.x installed or something along those lines).
I know now that the kernel resets to stock recovery. So i am running 4.1.2 and my build number (found in 'about phone') is JZO54K.I9100XWLSW.
I have downloaded 'philZ-cwm6-XWLSW-XEU-5.06.1.zip' from his XDA thread, and was wondering is this the right one for me. And since I am already rooted and all that I was also wondering if installing this will clash with my root and mess up everything- thanks in advance, I really appreciate the help.
You got the right one and are good to go.It won't "mess" anything,you'll basically get a stock kernel+cwm+root in a single flash.Good for starters if I may.
This is the exact method I used to root, and now I'm happily running my (probably) 30th different custom rom.......

Don't use ROM Manager on S2. Ever. It's a sure way to screw things up. For some reason it seems to end up corrupting recovery on S2.
Why are n00bs so attracted to Rom Manager ? It's **** on any device. Only lazy people use it on the devices it actually works properly on.

The process will be the same to flash a rom, it's going to be done in safe strap. In the general section there is a thread of SS compatible roms.

You'll have to now find the SafeStrap thread and install that. Hopefully your attempt at flashing a recovery through Goo hasn't borked your recovery. IMG
If it has you'll have to just start over with Odin. Hard to say really as some have had no problems after doing that and others have had to use Odin.
On a side note I'll be posting my mint condition MDK S4 on Swappa fairly soon if you want an S4 that can have a true custom recovery and flash aosp Roms [emoji6]

Correct. Your only option is Safestrap recovery. You can only flash TouchWiz based roms. You will need Safestrap version 3.72 (it's the AT&T version), and you will only be able to use the stock side. No rom slots.
Take your time and research....... A lot! You don't want to brick your phone.
