Hi,
Instead of trying to hack system files to get apps working, why not update your phone to the latest android version (4.1.2). You can do this via OTA or ODIN (look at guides on XDA).

thanks for the reply mate! I also tried installing cyanogenmod, but when I install it, my phone locks. I mean you need to open line it (again) cause it came from another country. And yea, I tried to restore it back, and It is locked. forever. But I have found this app called Galaxy S II unlock and it worked but my android version is back at 2.3
I have this question mate, If I install my phone to cyanogenmod again, will I lose the sim unlock? and If I install my phone to cyanogen mod again, can I do this process again?
the app is called Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz

Hi,
I can see you already posted in the thread for the unlock app. You probably won't get an answer there because the thread is pretty much dead. I'm not exactly sure if upgrading your ROM will return your phone back into a locked state, but I don't really see the risk in doing it. After all, you can always downgrade if something doesn't turn out right. AFAIK, there are other methods to unlock your device on newer android versions, they only work on stock ROMs and not custom ROMs, but I'll let you search for it on XDA

I have flashed my rom to cyanogenmod, and it is locked. I tried the app Galaxy S unlock by helroz but it force closes after I used the step two. I tried to rebooted it but It doesnt work.
I also tried Galaxsim Unlock and It needs payment so I used Freedom app HEHEHEHE :laugh: but still doesnt work after I reboot it. HELP PLEASE

Hi,
Did you try using one of the unlock methods on stock 4.1.2? Maybe if the android versions are too new, the apps won't work. But if it's stock official ROM, it might work.
I noticed you haven't done so yet so I recommended you initially to do this.

Hey there, im an tired to death of waiting for this 2.1 update for my phone, and so tried to install a custom ROM last night, I have searched and read so many tutorials on how to Root the phone etc, and install a custom ROM, but i seem to be stuck... im Running 1.5.. First off i am following this tutorial androidforums.com/all-things-root-hero/54802-how-root-install-custom-rom-backup-more.html which seemed to be the most upto date and relevant.
I think i have Rooted my phone using Instant Root
And what im stuck on is running FlashRec.apk It Just refuses to work (backup), so im stuck, i cant get passed this stage
I heave read something about GoldCard? or something, is this another method?
And i have come across more threads about using the SDK on windows somehow...

As far as i'm aware if flashrec doesn't work you need to downgrade, try my guide in my sig for details.
Thats what i thought :/ I don't get it, i haven't installed a single update, and im on 1.5, and i got the phone when it first came out in the UK, so it wouldn't have been updated, unless over the air updates are automatically downloaded and installed without my knowledge or approval?

As you have found out those phones that have network specific ROMS, namely from the carriers named above will find it difficult or impossible to Root using the methods those with non-branded Hero's have.
The only way to install a custom ROM and or root the phone is the following method. As I have had no experiance with this method I am not going to be able to write out any instrcutions of my own, nor am I going to copy and paste someone else's work and take credit for it. Therefore I am providing you with the following link.

I hadnt installed any updates either but i still had to downgrade, and your tutorial worked pefectly
All newish G2 Touches are loaded with a more recent update (although they're still all 1.5.)
This means if you have a new G2 Touch you'll need to downgrade.
I had the exact same issue as you with the backups failing, after searching the internet and using multiple tabs, i finally gained root access, to make life easier for others I created a guide, give it a try, let me know how you get on

Rooting & sim unlocking are totally unrelated. There's no free means to unlock, so you'll have to buy a code.
Hello everyone,
I recently got an upgrade though Bell Mobility (in Canada) for a Samsung Galaxy S2. Its simply awesome, but I'm a newbie to the Android OS. I moved from an iPhone 4 and hence I have very less knowledge as to what is happening with the android OS rooting, updating etc.
So on to the main topic, I got my phone (model GT-I9100M) on 2.3.3 and the base band is I9100MUGKG2.
My battery is dying very quickly, i barely get 5-6 hours. Yes I'm new to the phone so i'm tweaking around a lot, but still - I think the problems are major. And I've read on some forums that its a bug in 2.3.3 and hence I wanted to know if I could update to 2.3.4?
And as far as rooting is concerned, I think I did a pretty good job. The instructions for rooting weren't that complicated at all. But now the online thing I'm wondering is how could I update to 2.3.4. On Samsung Kies it doesn't say there is any update for my device, and I understand its not officially out through my carrier but that is one of the reasons I rooted my phone. I did try reading all through the site, But i only am getting confused more and more everytime I read it. Its like I read that I cannot upgrade to 2.3.4 or else i'll lose my data connectivity, others I read its only for GT-I9100 and not GT-I9100M, etc etc.
So could anyone guide me though how I could update my firmware to 2.3.4 and still use the phone with my carrier? And also, I tried using various unlock apps on the android market after rooting the device, but it didn't see to work.
I will be constantly travelling and hence I need this phone to be unlocked, permanently if possible.
Could someone walk me through step by step as to how i could update my firmware to 2.3.4 and unlock the device Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
Have a nice day folks.
I am quite new to the SGS II too (used to have a Nexus S), but I´ll try to help...

The CSC includes connection data for the broadband networks as well as apps that are only available in certain languages/intended for a specific area.
So, for your operator, you need this:

At the moment there is no official 2.3.4 for Bell. If you want to update you will have to use Odin and flash one of the 2.3.4 firmware's found here.To unlock the phone you will need to root it first. To do this you will have to flash a cf-root kernel that matches the firmware you flashed. You can find that here. For example, if you flashed the XXKH3 firmware you need the XXKH3 cf root kernel. Once you have done this, download this app and run it to unlock the phone.

Hey, I actually read around and Im successfully on the XXKI3 firmware, and im also rooted because i see the superuser app. And about unlocking, i did run that app before but it didnt work out for me... i ran another app as well, cant remember the name. But whatever the case, could i run it again? what if it doesnt run. Now the only thing left for me to do is unlock the device as im on 2.3.5
thanks for the reply though, have a wonderful day!

There are different unlock apps in the market but if you have the bell sgs2 use the one by helroz. I might freeze and reboot in the middle of the unlock process but it should still work. Have you tried using a different sim card to check if it's unlocked?

The unlock will remain even if you flash different firmwares. To re-lock the phone run the app again and from what i remember there is an option to "re-lock bytes" the option to restore the backup you made. Basically restoring the "locked" efs folder.

I had problems with the SuperOneClick a few time. Then I had to open two instances and one would go through the process. It installed superuser and what it needed. I then went and flashed the KDD_original.tar, and this is where I am now.

You need to install your default original samsung rom that you have the first time you got the phone.Install it and it should work fine.I did that.

That's the point, I don't have the original ROM. I was following the tutorial and had NOT realised I wasn't making a backup and I don't think the original author even realized the it would happen that the Canadian ROM would be one of the very few which couldn't be found if things got screwed-up.

1.1 We need to install a boot-loader as the Samsung one is very limited and just plain awful! That said, it wasn’t intended to be used for anything other than the Samsung software so it’s not awful from their point of view but it’s pretty unfriendly to us.
To this
2.4 If you are new to use ClockworkMod recovery manager then before doing anything, please have a look at next screen to learn the navigation keys.
If this works, than we will talk what to do next.
Try different official rom, maybe it will work, you don't have anything to lose.

I don't think it's actually the ROM which is the problem but the "baseband". Twice I followed the tutorial and everything worked until it came time to restart the phone. At which time it went into the loop.

Hello guys
b4 i tell my problem id like to apologize in case that this was already discussed or in case my knowledge of android aint yet "high" enough.
To understand me fully ill write the whole story that ive done on my mobile in the quote.
P/s: its for my 1st time having an android in my hands.. so all my knowledge gained was during yesterday and today.
Yesterday i received the S2 i9100M from canada with gingerbread and sim locked.
Later that day, after i done a little reasearch on forums.. i succeed to root and unblock it ( sim unblock) - used galaxy_s unlock
Cz my CWM was ver 4. i wasnt been able to install OmniROm (kitkat 4.4.2)
Today, i installed a jelly bean version, and install a CWM ver that fits kitkat ~ though i dont know reallly how it changed by it self to TWRP.
After this .. i installed omnirom and gapps (standard pack).
And here is now the problem, i can't unlock again the sim.
As far i understood.. though when turning on the mobile it gives me yellow triangle, that the kernel is not fully rooted (?) ~ also downloaded an application from market, dont remember the name.. but used the same one yeasterday to see if it was rooted or not.
But, IF i want to unlock sim.. i got to have it rooted so id have the possbility to run the superuser and the galaxy_s unlock application.
ps: also i deleted the files that were stored by galaxy_s unlock application, and that causes error in aplication even after reinstalling it. ~ however i hope this is gonna be fixed after flashing the rom again and wipe...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So the question is : How to root the kernel which is installed by Omnirom ?
Sadly.. i didnt understand much about kernels.. so i ask you how to go through this problem with unlocking the sim..
Meanwhile.. id really like to stay on omni, cz i really like it ~ the simplicity, but in case that there is no chance to stay on it cz of the simcard.. im prepared to use other roms as well (but still preferably kitkat).
update
Heelllo again
since i had no ideas from you, i decided by my self to try instal cyanogenmod rom since it has the option of root. ~ instalation completed and root works as well.
But now.. the the biggest problem i have.. is cz i can't unlock the sim
tried Galaxy_s unlock from helzing(?) but it didnt work out.
tried .. galaxy S2 sim unlock and the app stops at 4/5 ~ the application seems its crashing
also tried one more application (dont remember the name) but it wants to pay 3 dollars to install pro version , while guaranteeing me that it has a code for me ~ and i doubt about this.
Any ideas ?
Ps: sorry in case i shouldnt post again here

well today i installed this rom again, to see.. if i really was so sleepy and didn't see the rooting possibility.
well in anycase.. i didn't find it again. dunno, maybe i missed it somehow, but i doubt there is this chance.
In CM this option for root its easy to find, didn't have same luck/success with omnirom.
~~~
Meanwhile.. i was shocked when i used CM for a while.. just to try it... Battery had 80%, did a reboot and had only 20% -_-
Happend this to me more times, though not more such in big differences, and i can't tell the same to had it on omni.

back to my problems...
after trying to get simunlock on : CM kitkat, Omnirom kitkat, Jellybean & Icecream, everytime had the same failure procedure, tried each for at least 3 times.. (i also mean that i totally wiped the system, install the rom, and try again)
in the end of the day, i tried to get on the stock ROM and it worked (gingerbread) ~ used Galaxy S unlock
Now the question is ...
How to install any newer ROM (preferably kitkat xD) w/o loosing the network access ? =D
Sorry if this had been already somewhere posted, haven't yet seen.
Hey all, I've been having a lot of fun playing pokemon go but recently the newest version of the game has blocked users who have rooted phones, there's a hack called magisk that will allow the root to be toggled off while the game is being played and then back on when it is not. I am having no luck installing it though.
Has anyone else tried and succeeded to run this mod?
I'm running OL1 (5.1.1), stock rom.
Thanks!

I'm running it now. Although I've read that it can be done without doing a full Factory Reset, per the instructions, I wasn't able to make it work. There's a tutorial from Android Police that explains everything and provides links to the various files needed. Google search "magisk Pokemon go". You'll see the link. It's not too complicated of a process but make sure you have everything backed up.

I also have had no luck installing it. I have a sm-g900h on marshallow 6.0.1 and I've tried 5 times on doing it, but it still won't work. I've looked for a week for different drivers and archives to do it but I can't find any that work.
I'd really like help because I'm a total newbie in this and I don't know what to do or if I'm doing something wrong.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong because all that sounded pretty much like everything else. I've tried nearly every combination of flashing files, unrooting, leaving root. When I unroot I cannot boot to the OS, I was able to play the newer version when I unrooted but I don't think I'm going to do that. Guess I'll just play the old one as long as I can before the force the update and then maybe stop playing :-/

Yeah, I considered upgrading to Marshmallow because I've seen videos of it working for an S7 edge running Marshmallow and thought that Magisk may have had better support with 6.0. I really hope I don't need to get an S7 to get the game to work while rooted...The S5 is still a much better featured phone IMHO and I'm going to use it until it doesn't work anymore because it's so rock solid.
I already solved the problem I had installing it.
Turns out I was replacing the compatible version of super su that comes in the .zip without noticing.
It was all because I didn't read the instructions provided and let TWRP install the super su before rebooting.
I just didn't let TRWP install super su and it worked like a charm.

And this is on Marshmallow or Lollipop? I'm going to try updating to MM and then trying the magisk stuff again, maybe that's the key.

Malbert says he'll cook magisk into the next version of his Area 51 MM Rom.
