So, I got KA6 via Kies, the good old one-click-root doesn't work now since the update.zip is not signed. What else can I use to root? I remember there was a set of commands that one could execute via adb but I couldn't find it.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello,
this F.A.Q should help, when you are confrontig the following situation: I want to root my sgs2, using the zergrush method. Probably because I don't want to change the kernels...
1.) Just to be sure, that I got it right: When I use the zergrush-exploit on my SGS2 (2.3.4) I get root access to the shell via ADB and nothing more. Then I push the app "superuser" on the phone using adb shell command. And then I can use the superuser-app to grant root only to the programs I want. All other programs are still not running in root. Is this right?
Answer from oinkylicious: If you use http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=18805560 you won't need to manually push anything.
2.) Is there anyone else (according to the previous posts) who can confirm, that the zergrush-exploit does work on a unbranded sgs2 which has been updatet to 2.3.4 via KIES?
Answer from oinkylicious: It works fine on < 2.3.6
Answer from E:V:A: It is likely that all stock firmwares distributed & compiled after 9 Nov 2011 may be patched for the "zergRush" explot due to the bugreport filed here: https://code.google.com/p/android/is...etail?id=21681
However, there are always other solutions...
3.) When I apply the zergrush-exploit, …
a) … do I still have the possibility to use KIES to update the kernel e.g. to 2.3.5 (when it's released)?
Answer from oinkylicious: Probably
b) … can I still use KIES to backup my data (e.g. sms, calendar, ...)?
Answer from oinkylicious: Probably
c) … will there be the yellow warning sign while booting?
Answer from oinkylicious: No
d) ... will the legendary "counter" (sorry, I'm still a noob on android) count one up, and has to be resetted via an usb-jig before I potentially send it to claim my warranty in case of a malfunction, or will there be no "signs"?
Answer from oinkylicious: No
e) … can I still use "factory reset" by settings->privacy?
Answer from oinkylicious: Probably
4.) If I can still use...
a) … KIES to update the kernel e.g. to 2.3.5... will the phone then be un-rooted after updating via KIES?
Answer from oinkylicious: yes
b) … "factory reset" by settings->privacy ... or alternatively will the phone then be un-rooted after pressing "factory reset"?
Answer from oinkylicious: Probably, try it and find out.
5.) When I use the zergrush-un-root-function... will there be any traces that the phone was rooted before or will the phone be in the state it was when I bought it?
Answer from oinkylicious: There shouldn't be.
I know these are many questions. So I really really appreciate your help a lot! And I hope this will also help other people who got the same questions... As mentioned, I read a lot before in this forum, but for some questions, I couldn’t find a distinct answer...So I would appreciate it very much, if I could get some help, before I start to root my phone. I think it's better to ask these questions before I start to root, then afterwards...
If someone can confirm oinkylicious's answers or has other opinions, please don't hesitate to post them. I will include them in this post to get a more reliable FAQ... Also if there are more questions. Please ask them and I will add them here...
Best wishes,
mr. salt

Thanks man for your replies.
I appreciate your help.
Before I finally start to use zergrush, I want to be as sure, as possible, that it will happen, what I want to happen and I can still use some features (as I asked in questions 3a/b/3 and 4b)... Does any one have some sure answers or experiences on these questions? and/or can confrim oinkylicious' answers?
Thanks again!

I'll give your thread a courtesy bump to say that I didn't know the answers to those questions because I don't use Kies. I'm not sure why you would want to when you're rooted.
These are very well formulated and very common questions for every first-time rooter. I have no idea why this list is not present and stickied already, or on the front page of the FAQ!?
@sea_salt: I suggest you update your first post with the answers from #4!!
NOTE: It is likely that all stock firmwares distributed & compiled after 9 Nov 2011 may be patched for the "zergRush" explot due to the bugreport filed here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=21681

@E:V:A
Thank you. I think you're right. These questions are important for many first-time zerg-rush-rooters. PS: thanks for the tip, I updated my first post...
Can one of the moderators please make this post stiky, so that everyone can see it and more answers will be added?
the more answers to the main questions are given the more reliable they are...

Dooood. Don't be afraid! If you root it THEY will come! Mu-ha-ha-ha...
You phone is close to useless in its non-rooted state. Go for it! (You will not regret it!)
New Question:
6.) When I just use the manual method:
Code:
adb shell mkdir /data/local/tmp
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
adb chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp/
./zergRush
adb remount
up to this line (and do not continue with adb push su /system/bin and so on)...
a) Will I have just a temporary-adb-root only (and nothing else is changed)?
b) Will adb return to be not-rooted when I restart the phone?
c) Will there be any "staying"-changes to the system?
(I ask this because I want to use zergrush only to get root-adb and then make some backups via dd-commands (via adb-shell), so I want to let the kernel and the whole system as "untouched" as possibible and just temporarily have a rooted adb...)
I used this method and installed SetCPU. Now i got
Hotplug (default)
on demand
conservative
performance
etc..
I am able to push CPU up to 1.2 Ghz but I wanna what profile is best to use. Currently i set it with OnDemand, but i wanna know what is hotplug, or what profile is best to use. Thanks!
@sea_salt:
Yes You'll get temporary rooted adb. No permanent changes to OS might be performed without "mount -o remount,rw /system".
I assume that You want to backup EFS. IMHO "temp root" is pointless, root itself doesn't do any harm to OS, just adds 3 files su, Superuser.apk and busybox - by removing those file You can do mysterious unrooting, besides there is doomlord unrooting script. Kernel is untouched by this rooting procedure. System can be damaged by messing with it or by using rogue root app. So watch what You install and it'll be fine. Also if You need to restore your backups later You'll also need root and newer androids have this bug corrected so zergrush will be useless and You have to flash kernel first.
So I successfully rooted with zerg rush.

How do I do a nandroid backup without having cw?
i went into the market and installed rom manager, then flashed clockwork mod, then went to do a backup but it failed because it couldnt find an update or something. i just rebooted, and my phone turned on, looks fine. how can i a) get rid of that, and b) backup my phone?

I rooted my S2 with zerg rush.
Have Superuser with granted access for :
Rom Manager , Titanium Backup , Root Explorer
Can change RW/RO mod.
Flashed CWM in ROM Manager
When I try to backup via ROM Manager got
E: Signature verification faillure
a ) I read about the CF-Root but dont know if i am allowed to use this Method after i've allready zergrushed.
b) CF-Root does not allow me to backup via ROM Manager , as it is written in the description that is not working with RM and installs an owon CWM Manager.

You need CWM to nandroid, to get it, flash this kernel

Yes you can flash CF-root even if you have used zerg rush. CWM Manager works just as well as Rom Manager.
Hi could someone explain the difference between the zergrush exploit and CF root. I rooted my sgs2 using cf root ages ago but my friend got her hands on an sgs2 recently. The zergrush exploit seems to not increase your binary counter but I read somewhere that it isn't a full root which confused me.
sea_salt,
While your post is very helpful, I just wanted to point out that your hyperlinks in post #1 are not functioning. You should probably fix them.

zergrush exploit doesn't increase your count but it only gives you root (it doesn't give you CWM recovery). BUT you can use mobile odin to flash a different kernel and it won't increase you count but you will have CWM recovery. I did that and my counter is at 0 (I don't hame my USB jig yet) but I do have siyah kernel and CWM recovery.
a) … do I still have the possibility to use KIES to update the kernel e.g. to 2.3.5 (when it's released)?
Answer from oinkylicious: Probably
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Question = Do you need to flash 2.3.5 to do zergrush?
Answer =
No if your Gingerbread version is 2.3.3, 2.3.4 and 2.3.5.
Yes if your Gingerbread version is 2.3.6(specially novermber released) and above.
This method will 100% work on 2.3.3, 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 gingerbread versions.
If you have 2.3.6, you need to flash 2.3.5 or lower first.
Note:Flashing kernel only will not work. If you have 2.3.6, You must flash [2.3.3, 2.3.4 and 2.3.5]the whole rom+kernel.
Also some 2.3.6 released earlier than november, this exploit may work.
Additional info, you can add this on the first page:
If you just want to remove yellow triangle from a 2.3.6 rom.
1. perform Nandroid backup
2. Flash 2.3.5 (or lower) rom+kernel package then do zergrush method (zImage CF-Root or any rooted kernel)
3. Restore Nandroid backup, and you can now flash any non secure kernel from recovery
Yellow triangle gone.
Hi,
I have the Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 3.6 YP-GS1 European model. I've tried to root it using SuperOneClick, and some others but to no success!
Especially when using SuperOneClick, it hangs at Step 7.
I should note that I have Android 2.3.6 and am I right in saying that the zergRush exploit does not work?
Info about device
Model No - YP-GS1
Android - 2.3.6
Kernal Version - 2.6.35.7-CL712316 [email protected] #1
Build Number - Gingerbread.XXKK3
Correct, the zergRush hole has been patched.
The process for rooting phones that have been "patched up" is much harder - it requires flashing a prerooted system image or insecure kernel in Odin.
Creating one of these can be difficult - unless someone has already published stock firmware (zImage and factoryfs.rfs) somewhere, getting a complete firmware pull requires two devices. "flying blind" (trying to create an insecure kernel without a good zImage dump) is a high-risk activity for even an experienced developer.
I wasn't even aware they had released the 3.6 yet, just goes to show how good samsung's marketing for the galaxy players is, lol! Wow, what a model number too - imagine how many people are going to confuse YP-GS1 with YP-G1 - great job Samsung!
BTW: superoneclick always hangs at step 7, you have to unplug then replug your device in. Try that before you loose all hope!
@nathan2226
Sorry off topic but I see you own the Galaxy S wifi 3.6 like too and I was beginning to think I was the only one on the planet who owned one. Anyway the problem is that when I use Music Player or watch video when I adjust the volume from level 16 to level 30 there is no difference in volume. However when I pause the music and replay it the volume is now noticeably louder at the maximum volume of 30.
Do you have that problem too?

Has there been any previous kernal/firmwares released?
Could be as simple (or not so simple?) as flashing a kernal via Odin and rooting using SuperOneClick, like the S II ?

Sometimes stock initial firmware for a device shows up on the leak sites, sometimes it doesn't, seems to be a crapshoot.
The "hard way" to root a device, which requires two devices for a clean dump, is:
Path 1:
a) It's possible to dump 90% of so of the files of an initramfs without root - do this, try to fill in the holes, and build an insecure kernel using this dump. Use that to get a clean system dump.
b) Use the clean system dump to develop a prerooted system image that can be flashed to a second device to get a clean stock kernel
Path 2:
a) You can get 80% or so of /system without root - dump it, fill in holes, make an Odin-flashable image that has su binary added.
b) Flash this and get a clean zImage dump
c) Use that dump to develop a custom kernel that is flashed to a second device to get a clean /system dump
We got lucky on the SGH-I777 (USA AT&T GSII)- International kernels were functional enough to get a full /system dump, and I was able to use that dump to develop a prerooted system image which I used to extract the stock kernel image from my device.

I am technically minded, but not that advanced enough to produce something like that 'the hard way'.
I guess I will have to sit it out to see if someone will leak out stock firmware to allow me to root it
Hi Nathan,
Do you have any news about root your device? I am looking for Roms/ FW too, but I haven´t got lucky yet.

Please can you help rooting the YP-GS1, I found that samsung has released some firmware for YP-GS1 on this link:
https://opensource.samsung.com/index.jsp;jsessionid=270954CEE97EBDDA2FF300E0504BF9A1
Maybe you can create an insecure Kernel or something to unprotec the dammed GS1? I have no sufficient skills to do that...:-(
It will be a great help for all YP-GS1 owners...

Creating an insecure kernel requires modifying the initramfs, which is not provided by the samsung open source releases. You would need to dump the kernel and extract the initramfs from it, and dumping the kernel requires root.

You want to root phone's Android 10 via Fastboot? If so then you must know that this isn't possible at all.

Hi! is there any other way to root this phone?
Or is it still impossible to root?
Thansk for you reply
Two methods thinkable - what requires ADB is got successfully enabled
1. Temporary root
Copy SU binary to /data/local/tmp
2. Static root
Replace Android's ( restricted ) Toybox binary with a version that has SU cmdlet implemented, e.g. Toybox 0.8.5
Thanks for you reply Could you tell me if there is a tutorial to try method 2?
