[Q] Root for KitKat - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello folks,
After I installed CM11 on my S2, I lost my root. What is the way to get back root on KikKat ROM?
Thank you for your answers.

Yes. Look in phone settings.

Thanks, I've found it but Root Checker still say to me that I don't have proper root access. Any idea how to fix this?

Try different build of cm. And make sure to do full format of data and system before flashing.

dont go by results of root checker and if u still feel then flash the updates build

if you want try a dorimax test kernel (latest are almost stable) or latest slimkat from fusionjack or resurrection remix (many features from all roms)

optimize app every boot

hi my s3 optimize every boot some application (34) why ? as after wipe Dalvik cache. i use stock 4.2.2 stock root. thanks for help sorry for my english
Problem with rom (leak) or data.
Take titanium backup and nandroid backup.
Wipe via recovery
Manually install some of those 34 apps
Still happens? Change rom
Not happening, restore as little as possible

Looking to root my SGS3 again

I would use CF-Auto-Root or CF-Root 6.4 but I can't find any working link anywhere and it seems this site has some issues http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
I once used Framaroot, worked like a charm. Went to use it again... It doesn't want to know
I'd greatly appreciate it if a suitable link was provided.
Thanks in advance. :good:
Framaroot works. There should be links in "understanding the basics" in general > sticky roll-up thread

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately all the links say "Database error". And attempt after attempt on all 3 options, Framaroot is still being stubborn.
if you are using a stock rom you can re flash it by using Mobile Odin Pro. it is in the play store for about $6 . make sure to tick the option for Everoot. this will install the rom pre-rooted. you may want to back up efs folder before flashing anything . Best of luck.
nevermind I forgot you need root to use it. sorry
Framaroot should work if you flash an older unpatched build but that could be risky.

Do you really need root? Can't you just flash a rom as suggested in my thread you just read?

I think I read somewhere that flashing a custom kernel such as siyah can get you rooted. may want to try that?
IMHO and as per my thread > flash recovery via odin.
Then you can flash a rooted rom and its all done

Thanks. Now, I guess I'll flash CWM again tomorrow, but I am unsure of where to find rooted roms as I have never used this method of rooting before, I'm lost.

You've never flashed a rom via recovery?
They're all in android development. Hundreds of them. IMHO, stay away from mg4 unless you've had it before...the whole imei thing

I learned staying away from mg4 the hard way. I flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly to a stock rom only to find that I dug my own grave as I previously had an mg4, so I had to flash back to it. And I'm not sure what I've flashed via recovery, I may have but I just don't remember.
Edit: and on a side note, a rom is different from firmware right? Since I got into the whole imei problem I forgot what goes where and what flashes what, it shook me up.

You would have flashed cm via recovery. Do the same but with something like wanam lite or omega...
Or wait for chainfires website to be fixed. Doubt it will be down long

I think I'll wait for chainfire's website to be fixed as even though it may or may not be the easiest, it made the most sense to me when I done my phone the other day, I knew that method with my eyes closed.
Thanks for all of your help. Although I may not use your methods now, they will certainly come in handy in the future.
As for cm... although it was one of the best things that happened to my phone... I will not touch it again or anything like until 10.1 is stable because it gave me hell xD I'll be running with my rooted phone and root apps until that time comes.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
if you are on MG4 firmware or rom. you will most likely lose imei if you flash any previous modem. I would back up efs folder going forward. probably best to stick to MG4 based builds for now .there are some custom roms with the MG4 base in the android development threads .since that is a newer build than most. that explains why it has been patched. why framaroot and cf root are not working. There is a prerooted stock firmware for MG4 if I find it p will share the link

Is this rom rooted?cant get root access

Of course it's rooted. Name one non-stock based rom which is not rooted.
Go to developer options using the method above. Then change root access to apps + adb. Some users say just simply changing it to apps works, try it.

Then maybe post up in the Slim (unofficial) thread. Make sure to say that you've also switched to apps+adb, as that's what will be thrown at you otherwise.

is it possible to root the M819N on 4.4.4? NUVUBNI5

Hi guys is it possible to root the Samsung M819N on 4.4.4? I dont see any root for it, I did see a root keeper from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 but not the other way around, some people have said you can ODIN 4.4.4 down to 4.4.2 but there was no confirmation on it, and i didn't want to brick the phone. Can anyone tell me if theres a root available for the M819NUVUBNI5?
thanks

If you install Phil's it gives you option to root... Then install SU. Can you install phil's without root to begin with? Not sure... All the info is in that link. BTW. I HIGHLY& SUGGEST that rom. It is stock!!

Thanks for the answer, I installed all "addonsu" from linage website but do not work. I also installed on the mobile SuperSU, but does not want to work. Where am I wrong?
Oh it is my mistake
You are on the unofficial build so you need to enable developer options by going to about device and press 7 times on build number,after that you will find a root option set it to apps and adb
