My buddies tried rooting their evos last night they got the superuser icon, but when they go into TB it says they need root access, any ideas if they should re-root using unrEVOked again? Thanks in advance!

Sounds like all you need to do is install BusyBox from within TB. Just click on the Problems? button at the bottom. Then Get BusyBox. Should fix you right up.

What do you mean stock, like stock rooted?
Do a battery pull again, when you start up, hold vol+down to get into the bootloader, then try selecting recovery.

RUU is a stock image, it will unroot him, then he can re-root.
http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
Download the RUU, from bootloader, select fastboot, connect the phone to the pc, once the phone shows fastboot usb, then thr ruu exe on the computer. After that, re-root using unrevoked.
i'm still waiting to RUU to download, but I got my other buddies to work since he waited for me lol but for some reason gmail contacts won't back-up but all other gmail things sync. Do you think it's network (google) thing or cyanogen?

That sounds like a network issue, because there'd be no reason for the other google things to sync, but not contacts. Did you try to reboot?

What radio are you using? The wrong radio on certain roms. Can cause that to happen. So can the wrong kernel.

Agreed, when I first rooted I had to do the data wipe factory reset.
Everything went well after that.

Can some one please check. I rooted the phone and the buttons were working after that. But they stopped working after I installed unlock sgs app from market. Did anyone faced any of these issues.
Problem is all the 4 buttons didn't work no LED light and no function.
I have the kernel version of 2.6.35.11. Which one you think is good.
took the battery out and restarted. But no effect. Still same. Any help will be greatly appreciated

None of the unlock apps from the market work on the T-mobile/Telus version of the sgs2, so maybe that might be the problem? Try uninstalling it..
Or try wiping dalvik cache?
If that doesn't work, backup the apps and stuff using titanium backup and flash the rom/kernal again (factory wipe, wipe dalvik cache and other cache)
Yeah try uninstalling that app then reboot into recovery and clear your dalvik cache.

Alright well then you're going to have to do a full wipe and re flash the ROM.
Not positive that will work, but it's your only option at this point. If that doesn't work, it might be a hardware problem.
EDIT: I guess you could try clearing both caches and flashing the same ROM without a full wipe.

Put the ROM on the root of your external sd card, reboot into recovery, go to backup/restore and do a backup, wipe data, clear cache, go to advanced and clear dalvik, go to install zip from sd, choose zip from sd, then click on the ROM .zip file.
Let me know if you need help.

Damn, definitely call Tmobile and get a replacement sent out. Just make sure to return your phone to stock before sending it back. Tell them you have already done a factory reset to save yourself some time.

Hi ken,
I did the exact same thing that you did. I was trying to unlock my Tmobile Galaxy S2 with that very same app and after that ,,,boom,,, the soft buttons all stopped working... no lights at all...I'm only able to use the touchscreen but not the buttons. I've researched a lot and a lot of people have suggested flashing different kernels and I've done that too but haven't been able to fix it even till today. Please let me know if you've figured it out. Thanks.

do the buttons work when you are in recovery?? If they work there then, it is a ROM issue, if they don't work in recovery, time to warranty exchange ...

Hello.
I want to restore my friends galaxy s2 (t989), but no matter what I do it will not restore. I tried odin and I tried flashing a different rom through cwm recovery, but everytime i boot it up after restoring it stays the same way. Meaning that all of the app, settings, photos, etc remain on the phone. As if I didnt even try to restore it. I am guessing it is a virus but I dont know how to remove it Another hint that it is a virus, every time i remove or install a new app from the play store, when I reboot the changes are un-done, meaning that the apps that I removed come back, and the apps that I installed are gone. It is almost as if it is stuck on a state and keeps reverting to it after every reboot. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks
Try doing a factory reset in the phone settings then go into recovery and wipe as if u are about to flash another ROM. Manually put the phone into download mode and try to restore from there

In recovery go to mount and storage section. Then format data,system, and cache. Then factory data reset. This will fix it. The same way you format a sd card and it wipes it clean thats what happens when you format data,system, and cache.

Thank you guys for answering, I tried both methods but neither worked. After some more research I found out what is causing this to happen. Apparently the internal memory of the phone is stuck as read only, I don't know how he did that. While I am searching for a way to make is read and write, I came across this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2025475 but it is for the skyrocket and there was no solution. However, I also came across this http://androidforums.com/incredible-support-troubleshooting/347685-internal-phone-storage-becomes-read-only.html for the HTC Incredible, but to be honest I have no idea what he did and whether or not it will work on this phone.

Flash new rom then go back into recovery and format everything and reset. some recoveries have mount system options so maybe find another one. Something is definitely weird going on. Root explorer, Root toolbox,and other apps have option to mount system as rw as well like biglil said

Im bad at explaining stuff so let me try explaining it a different way.
Like I said, I want to change the rom on my friends phone. I have a fair amount of experience in doing this since I also have an s2 running jedi knight 6. As usual, I would reboot into recovery, wipe system/factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik then install rom. This is where it gets weird, after I boot up the phone, it goes back to the way it was, as if I did not wipe anything. I even tried flashing a completely different rom and I even tried restoring it back to stock rom through ODIN nothing happens. Also, the mount toggle in root explorer is only for the root system, not the internel memory of the phone. Thanks for the help though.
Ok use titanium backup. Two options guaranteed to work. Find the wipe all system and data option use that. If that doesn't work find unintegrate system dalvik option and use that. One these should definitely work.

Little late
Okay so i know its late but if anyones feels the need to go back to stock heres the fix:
-Have root access
-Use titanium backup to find Systeminfo 4.1.2
-Clearing data will remove that
-You should only need to do this every boot
Not sure if you can remove this program, but that would eliminate the problem

I know its an old thread, but i am wondering if any one can shed some light as to why this system info screen appears, i was able to get rid of it by just deleting the file from titanium backup, no visible problems what so ever , data, phone, mms, every thing works as it should.
Just wondering why it popped up after odin back to stock..
Also I've read a few other samsung forums, and they relate this info screen to either; permanent safe mode due to imei faking, or corrupted efs drive/partition or some what.
Fyi, with the imei faking there would be no data/cellular services.
So I'm going with that something might be wrong with my efs? Maybe?
I had the same issue. I fixed it by restoring efs from a TRWP efs backup.
When I had this system screen show up it also flashed below it on startup that factory mode was on. If you go to youtube and search "Samsung Galaxy S4 : How to Get out of Factory Mode" it may help those without a efs backup
