Which method? I waited one day too late, and got the 2.3.6 update yesterday - and from what I read, superoneclick doesn't work for SGS 2 that's been updated?
I'm looking for the simple, proven way to do it without having to go command-line

Why not just use Odin to push the recovery Once you have cwm, rooting is almost pointless. Just flash a full Rom / Kernel via zip

Unless of course you just want rooted stock ......

Yes in which case just flash the su zip included in the thread ...... He SHOULD want cwm in either case if anything so he can perform nandroid backups
At a minimum though, I'd flash a rooted deodexed/zipaligned/CIQ free stock release ;-)

no updates because root

i rooted my phone and when i search for software update it says no updates because your phone is modified, i use triangle away and it works but at the same time it don't the only thing that does is searching for updates

Well for starters there is no update.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

once you use triangle away you have to factory reset it to return to stock

There is no update yet.

And no worries man, usually when there is a firmware update we will get our hands on it and have a ROM set and ready to rock before the download from kies would even finish

LMAO!!!! so so so true...

Ive never ran across this problem before with the s2 or 3. Im on the stock injected firmware and want to be able to get updates without having to odin back to stock or flashing a different recovery. How would one go about this? Sorry for thread jacking but figured others will have this question. Thanks.

The previous answers cover it. I went back to stock on my S 3 for the last official ICS update, but was really a WOT. Don't have to ODIN back to stock unless you want to run on stock.
You would probably see an Odin update (which will install the firmware and and Modem when a simple ROM flash would not) pretty soon after it is OTA'd, and you could use this and not have to have the hassle of going back to stock to get it. If it is not a complete ROM, you will have to be sure you are already updated to the firmware that the OTA would be updating.

[Q] Help please possible brick :(

Hey guys so i rooted my phone using odin and was attempting to put on cyanogen mod 10.1 when it failed and i restored to factory settings. then i thought ill restore to my previously saved backup and it stayed at the samsung screen that lights up behind the white lettters. now i tried going into recovery mode and restoring to factory and also tried clear cache and delvik cache. only problem is it still got stuck at the samsung screen so i then tried to reroot it on obin but since there was a binary count of 1 it didnt work what can i dooo

binary count wouldn't stop anything from flashing. after flashing a stock rom with odin again, make sure to go directory into recovery to wipe data/factory reset and then boot up the phone.

I got it working then I tried to put cyanogen 10.1 on and it crashed again idno what the deal is I put it on sd card and loaded it with root manager

root manager? or rom manager?
sent from my I747

Don't use rom manager to flash a rom. Odin back to stock (Samsung devices are special that way) or use one of the root injected firmwares in one of the stickies in the development section. Once you get set up, download goo manager from the play store (you must be rooted to use it). From the menu of goo manager install recovery script, you will then have twrp recovery installed. Then follow the instructions in the op for the rom you want to flash. If this seems foreign to you then Odin back to stock and stay there. If you want to continue to modify your device read and read some more. Tony stark has a thread with all the information you need. Just Google search.

It is easy once you do it once. First time can be overwhelming. I'm a visual learner so I found a YouTube video for the phone and followed it step by step. Now I'm almost flashing them in my sleep. :thumbup:
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

So I know I'm rooted right now on my s3 so do I have to go back to stock and reboot it before I flash a rom? Or can I just do it like in the video now and flash it from recovery mode

It's only a soft brick. As long as you can get into download mode you can use Odin to return to stock.

If it was bricked you don't get a chance to keep bricking it. Stay with stock until you feel more comfortable with the process.

You need to odin back to stock.. download the .tar in development section and follow directions. Its easy. You will need this if you ever want to go back to stock or un root for warranty etc

Yea that's what I was afraid of, lol. Honest opinion though, is it worth going back to stock this early? I'm sure no updates have been implemented yet right?

Entirely up to you, honestly it isn't that hard to make a backup of all your apps with 'Helium' and restore onto the stock rom, etc. It's the challenge everyone faces when flashing ROMs. I would wait until there's an update and see what changes it brings before reverting. But you will want to download the stock .tar for instances you need to go back to stock.

Is there a way to root the device again and still maintain having all blotware removed? Or will it add back all carrier and third party apps?
T.i.a

If you did a nand backup, it will install the bloat again and also with the .tar file unless stated bloat has been removed.

All official updates are complete with bloat, the only way is to install the update and remove the bloat afterwards or wait for someone to release a debloated rooted build.

Just wait. When an official update is released a debloated version usually appears on the forums that is prerooted and ready for CWM/TWRP.

I'm also getting the same message. Is it because super user is installed or because of my custom recovery? Or both? If I remove super user will it work? Or would I also need to flash the stock recovery?
I'm still on the stock rom

It's because we rooted, but uninstalling it won't reset it because of the ticker, anything installed after the factory condition will show it as custom.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium

There is no official stock (yet) so your stuck like that
But if your rooted in the first place why does it matter you can install any firmware/software updates yourself

Official stock is out. Check the general forum.

Just remember... that if you root without triggering the Knox flag...
Can I flash custom recovery/kernel/rom without tripping KNOX flags?
No, Flashing a custom ROM will trip the flag
No, Flashing a custom Kernel will trip the flag
No, Flashing a custom Recovery will trip the flag
If the knox flag doesn't mean anything to you then you can do just about anything you want to do.... except reset the Knox flag that is.

I don't really care about the Knox flag thinking about rooting. It today with auto root

Hey bricking a phone made me the happiest guy in the world lol.
NOTE 3

Man, can someone give me the safest step by step instructions that are SAFE. I'm reading around ALOT of people complaining note 3 is a hassle, lots of bricks phone not turning on. Lost of data just naming a few. What is the best most safest obsolete way? That I will not mess up by phone. I read and follow carefully but seems it just happens to the unfortunate?
Note tres

Hell yeah its worth it. Ive rooted 2 note 3's. Flash the cf file and whatever recovery you want to use. I prefer twrp on this phone. Takes 10 minutes tops to do both and the phone and process is idiot proof.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app

I don't know how much longer I can take not rooting my phone. I have ads all over the place, can't delete bloat, can't try different roms. I wanted to hold off for at least 30 days, but I don't know. I'm so use to being in control.

Ok, I'm rooted! But tried to install twrp via goo and nothing read that trwp manager app from app store will install the recovery but I open it and all it is, IS the recovery where is the option to install and stuff. Installing a rom while phone is on is imposible idk how people saying it works? If odin is the way. Then which file do I download? Notice the first one is a .tar file. But the newest one is img and .tar so? Also do I click on PDA to install recovery?

I don't think they'll check that deep into the phones to see if the knox is tripped. My Note 3 is rooted using the "root de la vega method"
This method doesn't trip the knox and I have also flashed it back to stock and reflash the steps just to verify knox status and it's still intact..until I can find a ROM that can quench my flash addiction. . . this is my safe bet . . . in 6months i'll JUMP if a better phablet comes to T-MO. . . .
