I have looked up many repeals online to root my ballast s 2 but all of them are made for 2.3.5 but since i'm at 2.3.6 the su file on sd card fails and aborts to install with cwm. I synced cwm through Odin and it seems to work but problem for me is to do what I want to do.
1) create nandroid backup of stock
2) try out new ROM s
Help me to achieve these somewhat easy goals please

wait, got a little confused from your post... so did you flash CWM or not? you want to do backups through recovery and not from rom manager..
actually just install ROMS through Recovery too.
RECOVERY is CWM
BTW it has been reported that when the flashing of SU fails... it actually didn't fail.. and that it actually successfully flashed.. just check the app drawer to make sure
there are a few threads on this on the General section here is one follow the step by step.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332103
Don't worry about the SU failing.. keep trying, it'll fail about 2 times then it'll go through.

I had same issue but like 4 other threads concerning the same have said that even thou it fails reboot and go see if super user was installed in app drawer...there's even a you tube video showing that it says failed
Yet really worked..

Hi bobbyphoenix, can you confirm you did this with 2.3.6?
use su-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip file.

THis works on the GS2 w/ 2.3.6 - did it yesterday. The instruction was pretty accurate as well.
Just did it 2.3.6. Thanks all!

Is there a way to push or flash SU through Odin?
I for got to load the file on my phone prior to flashing cwm .. And
Its stuck on Samsung logo...
Remove the sd card and load the su zip on it through the memory card reader on your pc then reboot the phone into recovery and install the zip or follow the instructions here- http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-ro...y-s2-sgh-t989/
Hi Team,
Yesterday I thought to root my Galaxy Note 2(N7105). I tried MIUI beta version which is not yet release for Note 2.
I was not booting up then I tried CM10 Kernal to make it run, which was fine. After booting I found my network services are not working.
Then I tried to put the stocked ROM(N7105XXALJ5_N7105OLBALJ1_N7105DXALJ1_HOME.tar.md5) back after downloading from Sammobile Firmwares.
Now the situation is, NONE of the ROMS are booting up not even stocked.
I am unable to mount internal storage(Sdcard).
I am Unable to format it.
The phone boots but everytime it hungs at boot logo.
I guess that is reason I am not able restore any of the ROM's
Can someone please help me to fix this, in the forum or private. You will rewarded for this help.

Which zip would not flash in recovery?
The only zip you will flash in recovery is team epic root from recovery. And it must be flashed in the recovery that was installed with Odin.
If you let the phone restart after flashing recovery in Odin the custom recovery will be replaced by the stock recovery.

As a TOTAL noob: appreciate the easy explanation! Waiting to do this myself, but have a few quick questions first. I've done a lot of reading up on rooting but I'm still not entirely clear on a few things so I'm hoping someone can explain it to me like I'm five:
1. Can I accept over-the-air updates from Sprint on a rooted phone? i.e. when they push Android 4.2. If not, do I unroot and reroot to update? Do I have to uninstall everything?
2. Is there something I need to install after doing this? I previously rooted an HTC EVO and remember having to install Superuser immediately after. Anything similar here? Looking to ultimately run wifi tether so any advice toward that end would be greatly appreciated.
3. I'm a little confused about rooting/flashing and some basic definitions. Are they the same thing? I hear a lot about CyanogenMod - what is it and is it coming into play here?
Thanks so much!!

This is not going to be a straight up yes or no answer. If an update comes ota to your phone, you will be able to receive it providing you:
1. reflash stock recovery before accepting it.
2. haven't flashed a custom rom
3. haven't removed any required software. The ota will look for certain software and files. if the required software and files aren't present the ota will fail
None of this should concern you though. There are ALWAYS ways to get the updates while being rooted
2. Is there something I need to install after doing this? I previously rooted an HTC EVO and remember having to install Superuser immediately after. Anything similar here? Looking to ultimately run wifi tether so any advice toward that end would be greatly appreciated.
These instructions seem like you are doing many things. You aren't. There are really only 5 steps. I just broke all the steps down in detail. Really all this is:
1. Downloading all the files to your computer
2. Installing your Samsung Drivers to your computer
3. Copying one file to your phones sd or external sd card. (Team_Epic Root_From Recovery)
4. Flashing CWM Recovery to your phone with Odin.
5. Flashing TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip with CWM Recovery
The Team Epic File that you are flashing in recovery installs superuser, busy box, and in addition removes two files needed to make recovery stick.
3. I'm a little confused about rooting/flashing and some basic definitions. Are they the same thing? I hear a lot about CyanogenMod - what is it and is it coming into play here?
Rooting is really nothing more than giving you the user, the right to access root or system files. It has very little to do with flashing as you can flash updates with stock recovery.
Flashing is simply installing something in a tar, img, or zip format. tar files are flashed with Odin, zips are flashed from recovery and img files are flashed or pushed with adb (Android Debug Bridge)or fastboot.
Cyanogen is a rom. roms are very simply the phones operating system and user interface. They're called roms because their files are kept on read only memory. There are many roms out there for our phone.
Awesome, appreciate the prompt response - thanks so much!!
Thanks!
Thanks for putting this together. My new gs3 arrives tomorrow and I have already prepped my computer with your files in anticipation.
I'll report back how it works out.
Thanks again!
One more thing
When I do get my phone should I activate it first or root it first or does it matter?
I know it voids the warranty but I guess I could unroot to take it in for service if needed?
Thanks again.

I would activate it.
This works with the 4.1 update, correct?
I previously had the Galaxy S1 (Epic) and went through several custom ROMs before finally going back to a stable release with root because of dissatisfaction with the ROMs. My phone never really returned to perfect functionality after this experimentation, and always had some buggy glitches and many FC's. Now that I have a perfectly running GS3 with Android 4.1, I would love to be able to wifi tether and install apps like adblock and Titanium Backup Pro, but I am hesitant because of my past experience.
Do you think there is any reason at all that simply doing this root procedure would change the functionality of my perfectly smooth-running GS3?

i had the same problem.. and unfortunately i had no cwm backup. I resolved it by flashing one of the custom roms (ARHD in particular).. I am assuming your sg note 2 is rooted and u have cwm recovery.. so you can still boot into recovery by holding volume up , power and home simultaneously then backup. subsequently after flashing with custom rom and your phone is booting , you can do advanced restore and restore data only.. hope it works

The note 2 comes with jelly bean stock
Were you able to install cwm by using jaycooi's link?
That would let you get a custom ROM installed.
Otherwise you could try downloading your stock firmware from Sammobile.com/firmware
Then flashing that through Odin. Could get you back up and running

Maybe Using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682 tool picking your right device and the build select rooting (If not there the highest build should work) . then pick flashing custom recovery. I prefer CWM . work for a few times in the pass. and you should be fine to go back to recovery wipe and flash something else or Odin to stock and start over. Good Luck :good:

I had a similar issue with the PAC-man ROM initially. The zip file appeared corrupted and I would get the same error message but that issue was resolved. I'd say download a fresh copy of the ROM and reflash.
Like atl said, flash the newest build.
