A little confused as to which rooting method i need to use can someone please advise thanks
I've attached a pic of my system settings/build etc.
I'm getting diff answers frm diff pple
help
Thank you!
If you have access to Odin i'd recommend flashing over one of the pre-rooted packages.
You can use the ie22 GB rooting method according to Qbking77, and that way you won't need to ODIN or flash anything and lose your data.
Also next time post in Q & A so you don't get flamed

This is all I've been able to figure out. If you go to the one click root stickied post it links to a gingerbreak post that has a bunch of people posting that the gingerbreak method doesn't work for OTA upgrades.

The odin method does work... you have to odin a custom kernel to make cwm stick... then flash cwm with odin... then flash su.zip via cwm...

Honestly, since Rodderik responded to you in the one click root method thread, I would use the thread he linked you. You can't go wrong with anything he says, and Qbking's videos are always spot on as well. To be safe, I would do one of those. Back up all your apps and your homescreens and go from there.

The ei22 method is the same method for el30 and it most defenitely requires odin... but you don't lose any data...

Read the Auto Root thread, it will give you pointers to get EL29 rooted.
Basically just flash the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN One-Click in my signature to get root. If you want CWM, use the Auto Root package, Option C, to install EL29+CWM-Rogue.

well for some urge, i just want newest bootloaders, official untouched software loaded onto my phone. I'm finding these ROMs to be not as good as stock. For example dialer codes on deodexed ROMS can't do "*#0*#". I just want temp root to gett rid of bloat, apply the tethering mod, and then remove root. I just dont want my files to be pre modified or touched by someone.
There is no root exploit available in the way you want at the moment. However, I can assure you that if you flash the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN One-Click, then do whatever cleanup you want, then use Auto Root Option B to unroot, you will be at 100% stock Modem, Kernel, and ROM (except for the changes YOU made)
I'm not sure the distinction you are making is really significant, as adding 3 files to the ROM, doing your thing, then removing them isn't going to result in any "changes" in behavior, certainly not the ones you listed above.
The packages I put together are not custom ROMs. They are the minimum needed to get root. Nothing else is changed. The changes made to add root are completely reversible by running Option B in Auto Root.

How come people installing AIO over your EL29 are having issues compared to those who put AIO on Calk's pulled odex stock EL29? Those type of discrepancies get me frustrated. I'm not saying anything is wrong, but idk :/
the issues on the pre-rooted EL29 can be pointed out in the AIO thread
I think i found a way to try out tomorrow.
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper
I can use that to keep root after taking an OTA. so i can use auto root from EG30 stock and use that app to preserve root with the OTA
A review from the app:
"Kept Root After Upgrade to Sprint Epic 4G
Epic 4g is the Sprint version of the Galaxy II. I installed the app before doing an OTA upgrade today. I backed up root. I did the over the air upgrade, no more root access. I opened OTA RootKeeper, pressed the button for restore, and I have root again. AMAZING!"

I don't know what the issue is, but I run MD5 checksums against the product of the EL29 OTA updates against the pre-rooted EL29 and it is a 100% match.

HAHA exactly how I felt. Because of Sfhub's work, I was able to easily root, install CWM + EL13 and finally the Unamed ROM.
I could not in a million years imagine having to write the code or issue the commands to make all that happen.

So after installing the update I went to watch a video installed on my internal usb drive and it wasn't there. I went into "usbstorage" using file manager and the entire folder was empty. I checked using "disk usage" and I have about 3 gb now listed as system data which happens to be about the amount of video data I had. The videos aren't important but it sucks to lose that space. Any help is welcome please. Not rooted btw

Try using root file explorer on the phone itself or use adb shell over usb connection. ICS uses MTP for your USB storage by default, which may lead to different views of your internal storage.

I tried root explorer but things seem to be arranged differently once you open it up that way. I only downloaded it for the 15 minute refund window and couldn't figure it out in that time frame. Are there any free options out there or do you have any ideas where to find it?
here's a screen shot of the data.
Just start from fresh with a one click.

Run AutoRoot Option E and enable ICS USB Mass Storage mode. Then you should be able to mount your phone to your PC like in GingerBread and see all the files (ie when you connect to PC it will use USB Mass Storage mode instead of MTP mode).

Would suggest trying sfhub's FF18 Odin one click first (full, not the nodata version) as that should fix your problem first.

OK, I just watched the video and have a couple of questions. If I do the odin one click, how do I unroot?
Also if I decide to keep root, what are the next steps for flashing a rom? Do I need Clockwork?

Sfhub includes steps in his thread how to easily unroot - or you can flash Sextape's FF18 leak by Odin as it is unrooted.
If you want to start flashing let me find TrayLunch's post as he sums it up how to do it safely :
TrayLunch said:
Ok, first, go ahead and use sfhub's Odin One Click to get FF18 Stock Rooted No Data.
From there, get Agat68's Recovery Kernel that's built from source. You can either put it in the PDA slot of Odin, or use Mobile Odin to add just the kernel. This will give you CWM and put you on ICS. Go ahead and make a backup.
This kernel is perfectly safe, but I would still recommend using rujelus' format 2x or calk's format all tools in place of wiping instructions before installation of any ROM. They're thorough and safe.
Flash away like a champ, but throw Agat's kernel in after every fresh flash. That will keep the superbrick bug out of your hair.

Did you run Auto Root and under Option E, choose Enable ICS USB Mass Storage?

Thanks, that did the trick. Next step, flashing CM9.
I have an unrooted Samsung Galaxy S2 Sprint version that I never rooted, and I just updated to ICS stock (over the air update). While I had rooted another, this is my wife's phone and I want to root it to get better control over the battery issues. I read the wiki, but it all was dated to before the update.
Do any of the rooting methods work once you have already upgraded to the latest ICS update that came from Sprint?

I am unsure of the rooting methods at this point. Did you check the one click rooting sticky? I would put the phone in download mode and odin a rom of your choosing (like el29 from sfhub) then one click root, recovery and flash a rom of your choosing. This process is of course only if the existing methods don't work with the OTA.

You have to remember that even though you are saying you are a noob it does not mean that you should not read, read, read and then read some more. Honestly I have no problem with your questions but if you took some time to read stickies and info in the forum you would have found the answers to your questions. Also a Google search referencing Wifi Hotspot and not being rooted would of taken you to FoxFi. I suggest you give that a try prior to rooting if thats all you really need.
Remember either xda or Google is there to help you but they can not if you do not ever use them properly.My last piece of advice if you are not one to do reading or not one to really want to take risk. DONT ROOT try FoxFi or the host of other tether options that dont require root
I second using Febby's method - that's how I would do it. Its the scalpel vs. ax analogy - Febby uses a scalpel, those who re-flash an entire rom use an ax. Both work if you follow directions.
Only down side to febby's method is yellow triangle. It is easy to get rid of any way.

OK,
You are another admited nooby, and that is OK.
However please, please take some time and read throught the stickies, how tos and follow up posts to the Original Posts.
You WILL save yourself a whole lot of time, frustration and possible flaming.
If you want the latest JellyBean Stock follow the insturctions here. They are detailed and precise.
It is the one-click root method that will give you the ernel, ROM and Modem in one shot.
You will NOT have a custom recovery (with CWM) and will NOT have the yellow triangle.
Not that you must run the one-click 'as administrator' first AND put your phone into download mode before before plugging it into the PC.
If you want a custom recovery (Garwynn's or Agat's) then you can keep the yellow triangle away by using Mobile Odin Pro. BUY it in the Play Store. Download the custome recovery of your choice and open Mobile Odin, Select Kernel, navigate to the .tar file you've transfered to your SD card and 'flash firmware'.
Really though please take some time, don't be impatient. It can save you making an expensive paperweight and have a taste of sh%t in your mouth.
Good luck.
Thanks!

Several different options with the questions you're asking. Without knowing your end goal, it's a guessing game.
And I guess i should say - back up any data, files etc prior to making changes unless you don't care about losing what's on your phone. Sync your contacts, save your messages, etc, etc, etc.
You can use the rooted ff18 (reset data) and then use the autoroot package to unroot if you want to be on ICS and don't care about trace files or folders being left.
If you want to go back completely stock, no root, and clean up your storage - Use the EK02, Rest Data, One Click. Don't apply the OTA update to EL29 just yet, do a factory reset and option to format USB, restart and let the OTA process take you all the way to FF18.
Yes, either way, with one clicks, it is safe to do from FH13. Do NOT perform a factory reset until you're back on GB.
FH13
Hey,
Similar issue to OP but I'll be specific. I had FF18, not rooted, and used ODIN (for the first time I might add) to upgrade to FH13. Now I'm having issues and just want to revert to FF18. How can I accomplish this? I might add, I didn't get FF18 OTA, I went to qbking's instructions to update it manually. Easiest way to get back?
Thanks.

If you are just looking to go back quickly, and don't care if you have root or not, just use the FF18 Reset Data One Click from Sfhub. (Some say using the No Data within ICS to ICS isn't an issue, but I always reset data to avoid any issues that may arise..)
If you want to go back completely stock, no root, I'd recommend the post above yours starting back at EK02. Just the easiest in my mind, although others have different steps. Less user actions needed that way, just longer in the automatic process...

If you go back to EK02, how long does it take to get the ota's? also will you get each update, or just the FF18?
Is this any different than the FF18 OC then unrooting?

Sidenote: on another phone I'm running CM9 with cwm recovery. can I use Odin one clicks over this or is there another step first?

Takes me probably an hour for total reset. If I want the phone to be pure stock. I don't try to rush. Bad things happen then. And yes, its an incremental update process. Some people stop and don't chose the ff18 update and use the notification killer. (if you don't have a great connection, then this wouldn't be the ideal way.)
I would say that the one click would be the same regardless of current build. (I don't use cm builds) Its suggested to go into recovery and wipe all by some prior.
I usually pause on el29 and do a factory reset. That's just the way I do it.

I ran through what was suggested, starting with ek02 and ending with an ff18 from ota. Everything took about an hour and was painless. Thanks for all the help and patience on the topic!
