just got my s2 yesterday its running 2.3.5 for t mobile us is there a truly good combined rooting and adding kernals for dummies here? i have been reading for 12 plus hrs and i am more lost than i was. i just left my hd2 and want to do rooting, kernals and that kinda stuff can someone guide me in the right direction, please???
omg read Original Android Development and Android Development
when i said noob i meant it. besides if you were offended by my request to learn you didnt have to respond. thanks for nothing anyway..
Noob does not mean you have to get your information hand fed to you. Like a 3rd grader who doesn't want to make a model of the solar system so he asks his parents to do it for him. Seriously go search up t-mobile sgs 2 root or similar tags. I will bet you can find your answers. Unless you only look at page 1 and say "omg too much, might as well get spoon fed."
just to point out if you have the tmobile US version then this is also the wrong forum for your phone.

I have a 32GB Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100
i flashed it using Odin to XXKL1 a few weeks back...
A few days ago I was transfering some files to my computer when I realized that the storage capacity is 11.5gb...
I tried
1. formatting from the Settings/Storage/format USB Storage
2. Home+Power+Volume Up Delete User Data
3. I flashed back JPKH1 but no change
I can't find a solution and I'm desperate...
Is there a way I can get back to the original state?
That reads like its the 16GB model .

You need to flash the correct pit file for the 32gb model and tick repartition. Do that when flashing the firmware.
But I'm not sure where to get the pit file. Google will help for that.

You didn't search very hard then. From my quick look, you need GT-I9100_EXT4_32G.pit which I found here.
I take absolutely no responsibility for any damage caused by using this as I cannot verify its authenticity

How did you go? Remember in Odin enter the pit file in the pit section (from above post), tick repartition, enter your firmware in the correct section/s and flash. Pretty sure you know how to do it anyway but just in case.

WOOOOHOOOOOO THANK YOU GUYS & OINKYLICIOUS I did look hard enough... ive been sleepless for a few days... why are people angry in forums? Thank you tho I'm gratefull...
Thank you sxi200
For reference: after flashing... rebooting... your usb storage will still show 11.5GB; you have to formate your usb storage and tada you get 26.64GB
Because many (most) people who come here with "Hlap mai fone borked" issues aren't normally big on reading/learning/searching & expect (demand) their hands be held/they be spoonfed often for the simplest of issues that could have been resolved using their own grey matter.
Does this answer your question ?

Excellent! Glad you got it sorted.
As MistahBungle said, most long time users get frustrated when the same question is asked a million times for which there is already a load of answers.
I think your situation is a little different as not many people have this issue. Most of us have the 16gb models so haven't had such a problem before.
Good stuff man. Wish I had the 32gb version (but I do have a 32gb memory card .

OP its all to often people flash their handset and when it goes wrong they cant take time to search for the info that they seek. 98% of the time the info is here within this forum or else where on the net Google is a useful tool. Like many have already stated most answers can be found by just taking some time open those eyes and read, not only that it wound frees up useless forum bandwidth where thses types of threads keep popping up ...
Still your back to working ways with your SGS2 good on you.

I didn't mean to come off as angry (I'm not), just doubting that you had searched very well. I do not own a 32GB I9100 and don't know anything about them, yet if you look at the post times, I was able to find the file in question and post my reply in the space of six minutes. That six minutes included the time to find and read your post, search for the answer, search for the file, download the file after finding several dead links and checking it in a hex editor to make sure it looked vaguely like a .pit.
Searching isn't difficult and I simply don't believe you had two sleepless days (why would you sleep during the day? Do you work shifts?) looking .
hehehe i was up trying stuff...
perhaps you're great at searching... just to prove a point I honestly ran a google search on the name of the pit file (that you directed me to) and i couldn't get a hit on the first two result pages... I took snapshots (I can upload upon request ) actually I found other threads regarding this issue (2 if i'm not mistaken) both had dead links to the download...
or perhaps... here in the 3rd world the internet is sooo slow and expensive that one gets frustrated waiting six minutes to open bloody google
Anyways I'm very grateful and I would invite u both to grab a beer if u ever pass by Lebanon
Should I delete this thread to spare some space?

Bugger! I missed out by about 8 months . I was there last year for a few weeks, and yes the internet sucked big time. Have they rolled out 3g yet?

Hi. I'm a new Galaxy S user. But I have a banged up EVO that I loved and hated. But that's veering off topic.
What I need help with is finding a root solution for mine, and my wife's phones. I've been searching Google for leads ever since I got this thing. But haven't found out whether the old guides (sometimes for a different model ) will work for me.
Anyone able to uncover anything useful?
Today I installed a custom rom for my chinese phone Mlais mx65 everything works fine but, I can't connect to my network with my sim card, and it's weird i tried installing stock rom and other roms same problem but I didn't have any problems before that, any suggestions?
Check to see if your IMEI has changed. I know some MTK devices have IMEI issues after flashing certain types of roms. If your IMEI is ok, check the baseband / radio.
If you messed up the IMEI: http://en.miui.com/thread-10061-1-1.html
yeh it says Imei is invalid but this tutorial is very hard to understand.
That's certainly not the only tutorial. As I said, it's not an uncommon issue. I don't get much chance to play with these kinds of devices at my shop, so don't have personal experience. But you'll just to find a guide that might be a bit easier to understand. Is your native language English? Is it because it's a bit more technical than you are comfortable with?
No it's not my native language is slovenian.
plus im having a hard time finding the easy tutorial, I'm not an expert in android phones so it's preety hard.
K, I thought that might be the case. Well, if you don't know of any Slovenian phone forums where someone who is technically inclined and fluent in English as well might be able to help walk you through, you might just look through YouTube so you can see someone going through the steps as well. I understand how hard it is to do technical things when it isn't your strongest skill AND in your 2nd (or 3rd or whatever) language.
Maybe something like this might help at least point you in the right direction:

I realize it doesn't say specifically for YOUR phone, but if it has the same chipset then the instructions are usually very similar for MediaTek devices I believe.
Thanks for you help I checked some forums and got the easyest answer

No problem! Glad you got it sorted out. Did you find the answer in English or your language? If English, you should post here in case someone else searching for answers in the same situation might find help easier.
Greetings people here, nice to meet you guys but aside that I could use some assistance. All knowledge/experience I have with rooting have come from here and it has helped me quite a bit in the past with my old phone (Samsung Galaxy Light). Rooting that thing was simple and I have recently made the jump to a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T3) and being the idiot I am I upgraded to the newest version (G900T3UVS1FOL1). I have looked around and around the internet for info on this firmware as well as my model of phone but I have found few pieces of information that include both. Fear has been keeping me from doing too much as this is the most expensive phone I have ever gotten and having very little funds I want to be sure of everything. I understand risks come with rooting and such but covering all the bases can't bee too bad right?
From what I gather there is no way around using Odin to do something that will let me root this thing. While I haven't used the program before I trust there are enough tutorials online involving the program that I can figure my way around that thing. What troubles me is that I see many files/tutorials for different versions (FOG, FOF, FOJ, ect...) not to mention numbers past those things. Also the staggering times I see someone mention SM-g900t and ONLY that one with the occasional person ask if it is similar to sm-g900t3. Long post yeah but I am concerned and as far as I'm aware more info for these kinds of questions leads to faster results and better times for those trying to help.
I would post links to images to show more info but my account is new so...yeah, sorry about that. Aside that thanks for taking the time to read my rather long post and thanks again for all that offer any assistance.

I might suggest you read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo.../compilation-s5-g900t-stock-firmware-t3042400. Just find the info for your phone. For the most part, using Odin is easy. If you used Heimdall to root your previous phone, you might want to use a different computer because the two programs can conflict with each other.
