Is it possible to root this phone with SuperOneClick?
I have the 2.3.1 version.
Also, all the roots are for CWM ... how about ODIN?
I mean, i just bought this phone. I had Galaxy S 4G. And after unlock i lost my IMEI.... So i am careful now.
Is there a nice clean way to root the phone using ODIN in PDA section?
Thanks.
look in the index in general. there there are to threads there.

If for some reason your looking to use Odin and root your phone using the pda slot you first need to know the letters and combine them. If your eyes don't betrayed there is one thread here in development. Yes the first couple of words in that thread are something about rooting

Thanks. But
1. This method is probably OK only with certain ROM's I do not want to risk my Phone. Also This method is not ODIN its CWM.
2. My question remains unansweed : Can I root using supeoneclick? I mean if i can then this way would be universal to any ROM. At least it was for SGS 4G.
Thank you guys for help.
You can use superone click on 2.3.5 but after the 2.3.6 update it doesnt work. There ya go.

I am sorry, but you probably have an error:

2.3.5 IS the last version of Android OS it works for on our device, not the version number of the program. Hit menu>settings>about phone and you will find you version number. If you are above version 2.3.5 SuperOneClick will not work. Hope that clears it up for ya !

OH OK.
So just to clear that up :
SOC will root 2.3.6 on SGS 4G, but not on SGS II ? interesting.
So how did you root yours? CWM via ODIN and then Installed the Zip file?
Will it work on my KL1 Official ROM?
Thank you all guys for your support.
I am new to SGS 2, my old SGS 4G i know from inside out... This one is different i gather.
Glad that got clarified. Yes i used odin and the flashed zip file. Very easy.

The thing is almost all the ROMs to flash here are already rooted. On my latest GS2 (I have had 3) I just ran odin and flashed CWM, then installed my choice of rom. No rooting necessary, there are also stock rooted/debloated ROMs if you wanna stay as close to stock as possible
Zerg rush works really well as a one click rooter , then I used rommanager to flash cwm. Superoneclick is a nice app though

Hello there ! I just got SGSII with 2.3.6 and KL1 my question is this. Is anything changed because last reply was in 2011 and it's May 3, 2012 may be something new, easy, faster came out ? Basically my question is what is best way to Root my device right now. I am looking to put ICS on it. Any recommendations on both if possible.
Thank you very much.

My friend has problems with his phone, when he got it back he no longer had jellybean 4.2 only 4.1
I've just checked, he has build: JRO03C.19250XWLH2
When he goes a manual update (Vodafone UK) it says no update found, but he HAD it before (and updated when he had it on Vodafone)
How can he get the latest OS back on his phone, as far as i can see, there is no branding, its raw android.... Very strange....
Thanks all.
Check if it's yakju. If it is then he should get the update. Or just flash the JOP40D factory image

I would go ahead and make the jump to AOKP MR1 Unofficial Nighllies...Better than stock and the battery life is much better than build one. Besides this the Beats+XLouder V6beta2 works beautifully for some real audio improvement across the board. Gmusic sounds epic now.

Also update the Kernel to the latest leankernel 5.8 for JB 4.2 and your GNEX:highfive: for some reason other Kernels are working but htis one provides best battery life for this ROM so far...
And give it a few days on a fresh install it sucks down the battery life but this seems lo level out to normal I am not sure what operations go on for the interim when you first install this ROM...

yes, thank you for that! he doesnt want a custom ROM - why should he have to bother with a BETA firmware (cos thats what it is at the end of the day) - he just wants stock latest google.
its a puzzler thats for sure.
glad its not my phone! haha.
(if it was me, id root it and install a custom build - or at least force a stock manual build like i did once with my Google Nexus One, when vodafone weren't pushing out gingerbread)

i told you the reason why there was no update. he's not on yakju or takju which means samsung updates his phone. if he/you want him on the latest firmware, you need to flash the stock images from google.

So my mother's non-rooted stock UVDMD5 S3 was sitting there and mobile background said update checker used 3 kb, so I checked the update checker and a 527.00 MB file started downloading. Just a heads up, is it the new download?
Edit 1 : Confirmed, this is Android 4.3 official.

Edit 2 : @DocHoliday77 has confirmed this actual OTA is ONLY for the SGH-T999..if you don't have one (you won't get the OTA) but DO NOT FLASH OR ATTEMPT TO FLASH ANY ODIN FILES!
Edit 3 : This has KNOX. Proceed at caution.
Edit 4 : have you ever been to jail? No? Me either. But if I had to picture it this update is much like it. Still to Docs leak thread or AOSP but don't touch this with a fine toothcomb if you want to root and later downgrade.

One way to find out, I suppose. I'm not currently rooted, the phone's bone-stock. Saw the download and immediately came here to see what was going on. Under 30 megs remaining.
check samfirmware...theres an update with over 800 mb
I guess that's a confirmation. Any issues? The AT&T version was riddled with problems.
Edit- Confirmed. Kernel version 3.0.31-1962493, Produced October 31.
According to Kies the update is MJC so its probably the same or similar to leak version DOC post .

Ok, something important to be aware of. From piecing information together from users around these and other forums, it appears just about everyone who had problems with the 4.3 update had updated via OTA. So if you choose to update this way, please let us know how things go. But if you do experience problems, DONT PANIC, Grab Your Towel, and start downloading the Odin flashable full firmware update.
This of course will include the T-Mobile kernel. I am 90% certain that the reason WiFi did not work with the leaked kernel is because we did not flash the full firmware update. I believe the WiFi modules needed to be built into the bootloader (likely the aboot partition to be exact). This is what I was attempting to confirm when I bricked my phone. So by flashing the full firmware/OTA update, you should have a fully working build, including WiFi if I am correct.
Aside from this, I would suggest reading through some of my posts in the leaked Rom threads. This is the same build that was leaked to us a week or so ago. Do let me know how things are going, I wish I could join you guys in the discovery phase of this "official" version, but I seriously doubt that other than the kernel working, and Knox likely being left out, it will be any different from what we have been using.
I do not see any reason you should not be able to root, but I will get an insecure kernel posted asap. As soon as my download finishes. In the meantime, if anyone wants the insecure kernel from the leaked build, it should be exactly the same one. Download here:
UVUEMJC_Insecure_kernel.zip
Hope everything goes well, and I am still here to help!

a root66 version will be coming soon. These have always been released within a day of us getting a new official release. Please be patient though, as I don't think mrRobinson has the S3 anymore. I will send him the download link as soon as I have it posted on my AFH account.
If he cannot get to it, i will do my best to get you guys a root66 build asap. But again, please be patient.

You know, I have to be honest....I was hoping to be wrong about the latest leak becoming our official build! Was hoping they would update one more test build first, then we would have had another kernel/modem/build......oh well! I must say that I am quite surprised they went through with our release so quickly!
Someone must be watching us......
Thanks Doc, I'm in no rush.
Thanks for all your help, great appreciated.

oh, one more thing. if updating via ota, try Voodoo OTA Roitkeeper from the store. its worked in the past to preserve root.
and can someone pull the ota before applying it, and upload it for me please?
look in /data/fota, /data/temp, /cache/fota
its there somewhere, just cant remember for certain.

I just read that T mobile is pushing out an update. Any word on sprints first update. Since im rooted I will not be able to take it. So we will have to wait for a dev to make it flashable. Is this correct? Or is there a way to still get it when sprint pushes one?

Many of the custom roms were built for prior bootloaders and some have issues or may not be supported on the latest qi5 bootloader. Fused means that once you flash it you can no longer flash an earlier one. Once you do it prior versions will fail to flash in Odin.
