Ok I paid a guy to root my phone and he wasnt able to.. he was using ginger break 1 click solution from the phone..
so it didnt work..lol im out the money.. and i still need to do it..
here is the info on about phone..
Firmware version
2.6.35.7
build number
GingerBread EI22
ok I need a dummys guide.. some thing straight forward please on the steps i need to get super user and rooted.. I need to tether my phone to my laptop and im not able to as of right now.. a custom rom on my phone would be nice to lol..

Wrong sub-forum. This is development for developers. Next time post in General or Q&A. Go to General and do a search for "rooting EI22 OTA" without the quotes and you will see the how to thread in the list.

First you need to locate odin 1.8. Then install the samsung drivers for the galaxy s. Next download this Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?opnq0n0pau8cu01. Now open up odin, put the tar you got in PDA. Next turn your epic completely off (pull battery then put back in) and then plug your epic in and make sure ONLY auto reboot is checked on odin. Now hit start on odin and wait. Now when it is done, your phone will be 'rooted'. Now you can download 'superuser' from the market.
Next I reccomend installing a ROM. A good one for starters is mostly stock which you can find in the development section. Put the zip on your sd card. Now shut.down your phone. Next hold down volume down, camera and power until you get a recovery screen. Next use the volume keys to navigate to install zip from sd card and press camera to select. Now do the same with choose zip and choose mostly stock. Now hit yes and wait. After that is done, use the back arrow to go back and choose reboot. This boot will take a while...
Now your phone will be way better than that **** that didnt give you your money would have made it.
If this worked for you, I would appreciate a thanks or donation.
That rom contains a bunch of fixes. Also I reccomend doing the same thing you did with mostlystock with the samurai kernel.

You guys are too nice to these idiots. Not a clue on how to root or rom, and posting in odd places. Have fun bricking your epic, jr.

So this developer is going to do all the hard work while you just chill and relax? Not trying to be rude.
I just think you should study some java to create your very own application. Learn a little bit then go hands on with eclipse.

I sent open a pm. I'm learning to dev apps right now. My best friend is teaching me and he has a lot of experience so he'd me helping me out. He created shady SMS for himself and works for a company that shall remain nameless whose whole business is based on making mobile applications for larger companies. He's currently working on a Bloomberg app

HC-kTool ( a diamond in the rough )

Hi. Just thought that the app kTool by HellCat doesnt get enough attention. I honestly thought it was something that everyone has but have learned that a lot of people dont even know about it. Here are uses:
Dump current kernel for quick zImage backup,
flash a /sdcard/zImage immediately and seamlessly.
Backup/restore EFS.
Install (up to) .efs+modem.bin+zImage in homemade update.tar instantly
Verify efs backup integrity.
Reboot to system, recovery, or download mode.
Simple yet effective user interface. Very user friendly.
I have been using this app for several months. Hell, all year. Its fantastic. Ill post a link in a moment.
Im hoping threads THAT I ACTUALLY CREATE dont get deleted

Is that the same HellCat from the PSP Scene? If it is you guys have one hell of an asset there. Not that we are running short of good developers coming to Android.

Edit: i then realized after posting all that that my slack had been picked up,
Thanks.

Oh, I also heard nobody rocks a custom boot logo but me, =/ I hope thats not true, but if you need
Note:Will not work by itself on ICS, I didnt have it on GB so Im not sure on that..
Also by hellcat (not sure, Rain, probably. He's awesome)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hellcat.droiddev.sgs2bootlogo
Pick your desired boot or charge screen image, crop it to your size
Press "Set As (whichever...)" THEN
This app isnt programmed for ICS on our variant, but it gets the job half done.
You will now have a ".lfs.tmp" on "/sdcard." Make a copy of your desired boot logo called "gaudi_bootimage.jpg" and overwrite the one in ".lfs.tmp"
Now you simply remove the ".tmp" from the name and merge it with "/mnt/.lfs"
Enjoy, it took me a while to notice this little workaround.

Im going to assume you are not being facetious and answer,
There are two apps linked from here, unrelated other than the creator, but both are really usefull.
If you mean the boot logo, you wouldnt need the app if you figured out how the app makes .lfs all nice and tame... thats a mean, bad folder! Lol. Hope that was what you meant.

If this has helped any on I would appreciate if u hit thanks .

Now u don't have to worry about flashing that new ROM or mod because u are on the road or any thing else as long as u have this CD with u u will always be able to recover this is also good for people who r having trouble installing fast boot drivers and adb this eliminates that problem for u

[Tutorial] How to change Build Number (((ROM NAME)))

Hey guys from the help of my very good friend Azuzu I am creating a little tutorial on how to change the ROM Name or Build Number on your T989.
This might work on other devices but I have only tested it on the T989.
If you follow this guide you agree that you are doing thing on your own and you take full responsibility for any damage that may come to your device.
###################################
Prerequisites:
Rooted - With SU Permissions
RootExplorer is recommended for file browsing with SU permissions.
Android SDK Installed - Google how to install it
Samsung Drivers - Check other posts or just google them
USB Debugging Enabled
Notepad++
####################################
Once you have all the pre's done go to command prompt and type the follow:
adb pull system/build.prop
>It will save your build.prop and now find it and open it with Notepadd++
> Edit line 4 "ro.build.display.id="
Make it what ever u want it to be: ro.build.display.id=Name Ahhh
Then click save...
Mount your phone to the computer and place the build.prop in the sdcard.
Unount and open RootExplorer
Find the file and click and hold until you get to copy.
Copy it and put it in the system folder. If done right it should ask you to overwrite it.
Then go back to command prompt and do the following
adb shell
su
//You should be asked for permissions by your phone Hit allow
# mount -o,remount /system
# chmod 0755 /system/build.prop
# reboot
Dont put the hash or the space after it. Just the text.
Once you reboot go to about and you should see what ever name you changed it to.

Why would you want to do this unless you want to take credit for someone elses work? Just curious

There's only 2 people that would do this, someone trying put their name on someone elses work OR someone wanting to lie to people into believing they're running something other than what's installed.

Thnks for the tut but wouldnt it be easier to edit the build.prop thru root explorer

I have stock rooted ROM. I have debloated the ROM myself. I have other tweaks that I'm doing. So tell me what am I stealing? Nothing.
So I renamed it to whatever I want. I also added my own boot screen and themed apps. So you are wrong. I am not stealing anyones work.

That is stealing...you did not build the rom...changing boot animation, uninstalling system apps and tweaking some settings are something everyone could do to any rom... i mean really, any end user could do those things... what kernel source did you compile?did you zip align or deoxed? Did you add bln support? No you just changed a few things and then put your name on it..and anyway you don't even see the info unless you manually go into settings and look it up so no one would see that unless you showed it to them which makes it look even worse.....why would it matter what it was called in the settings?

Does it matter if I change the dialer??? Absolutely not!
If you had bag with 5 coins and add 1 now you have a bag with 6 coins. Now lets see if the bags are different:
Bag 1 -
1 Bag
5 Coins
0.85LBS
Bag 2-
1 Bag
6 Coins
1.00LBS
So now tell me how these two bags are the same....Oh wait that's right they are not the same anymore.
Ok enough with the silly examples...
Now if you have, or maybe you do, a Honda Civic.
You add RIMs, Radio, New Air Intake, Tints, HIDs, and a new air freshener. And you remove about 100LBS of weight of the body.
Now is that car stock?
Drum rolls someone............................................
Answer = Nope....
So if you put DJIDK's JDM Ride on the back instead of Honda Civic, does that mean you are stealing the work of the Japanese who built the car????
I don't think so. That means you have customized your car to your liking and gave it a name you thought it deserved after you did a bit of changes.
SOooo Lets get back to the Samsung Galaxy S2 T989 - T-Mobile.... Just making sure you remember the phone exactly...Wouldn't wanna steal Samsungs hard work and call it the Sam 989 u know....
So if I want to change and flip the back cover and maybe put pink little hearts as my app icons, then call it Roketteere's Pinked out T9er that does not mean I am stealing anyone's work. Nor does it mean I want to take credit for anything...
If you didn't like my simple tut, which yes I know it can be done faster via rootexplorer.apk (Thanks 2 the 2 guys for the info), then don't read it and post anything negative about it. Unless I intentionally put something to tell everyone to rename all the ROMs and post them on XDA or whatever site as their own no one should be accusing me or anyone else who does this to be doing something wrong.
Well thanks to you my fingers now hurt from typing with a bit of anger...
I hope my keyboard is ok...Hmm :fingers-crossed:
Well Im done with that...Have a good night spirit fingers :silly:

Does it matter if I change the dialer??? Absolutely not!
If you had bag with 5 coins and add 1 now you have a bag with 6 coins. Now lets see if the bags are different:
Bag 1 -
1 Bag
5 Coins
0.85LBS
Bag 2-
1 Bag
6 Coins
1.00LBS
So now tell me how these two bags are the same....Oh wait that's right they are not the same anymore.
Ok enough with the silly examples...
Now if you have, or maybe you do, a Honda Civic.
You add RIMs, Radio, New Air Intake, Tints, HIDs, and a new air freshener. And you remove about 100LBS of weight of the body.
Now is that car stock?
Drum rolls someone............................................
Answer = Nope....
So if you put DJIDK's JDM Ride on the back instead of Honda Civic, does that mean you are stealing the work of the Japanese who built the car????
I don't think so. That means you have customized your car to your liking and gave it a name you thought it deserved after you did a bit of changes.
SOooo Lets get back to the Samsung Galaxy S2 T989 - T-Mobile.... Just making sure you remember the phone exactly...Wouldn't wanna steal Samsungs hard work and call it the Sam 989 u know....

It's not about stock or not you are changing the name...the coins are still not made by you so you would not call them David coins and the Honda civic is still a Honda civic..not made by you either..so you wouldn't call it a David civic...get it
Edit...I'm sure every dev on here would agree...and you still haven't answered me....what's so important about a name, no one is going to see?

If I feel like calling my Chevy Suburban, LoopDogg Suburban and get a custom chrome sign and replacing the suburban sign with it, who the F' cares. Anybody who see it will know the truth. If he would start a thread and claim it, then that will be an issue.

That is stealing...you did not build the rom...changing boot animation, uninstalling system apps and tweaking some settings are something everyone could do to any rom... i mean really, any end user could do those things... what kernel source did you compile?did you zip align or deoxed? Did you add bln support? No you just changed a few things and then put your name on it..and anyway you don't even see the info unless you manually go into settings and look it up so no one would see that unless you showed it to them which makes it look even worse.....why would it matter what it was called in the settings?

so you think his name is ahhh. There's a reason he put this in general, it's just a little theming is all. It may be pointless but the guy isn't claimingto have built anything and it isn't Rom specific. Name it peter juice or something.

Rasta Rom

Why keep it to myself. XDA is all about sharing and helping one another. So no I'm not going to keep this to myself. Like the other member said I'm not posting this to claim something that's not mine. I'm claiming to call my phone what ever I decide to call it and if you want to do the same then this is the tutorial for you. If not then move on.
It's like you wanna hijack a perfectly harmless thread and make it about something else then what it literally means. Are you going to bash me if my signature said "Sent from Roketteere's Cool iPad using TT H-Dee"
Is that stealing too?
