[HOWTO] ROOT T-Mobile SGSII via ODIN -- Updated Recovery

ROOT THE T-MOBILE SGSII​
This Method will flash a recovery Image and then you can flash the superuser .zip file to root the phone.
This requires minor knowledge. But BE CAREFUL Because this can harm your phone!
First Things you need to have:
*You Need ODIN 1.8++(CLICK ME)
*The USB Drivers for Our SGSII
*Clockworkmod which you are going to flash via ODIN
Code:
md5sum - 8bf6802a84d85aa7da0c1976c0f129d1
*Superuser+Su files to flash thru clockworkmod later on!
*SDCARD installed for CWR
How to Root the phone...
*Before We get things rolling, Make sure the Phone is recognized by your PC.
*Put the Superuser .zip file on your internal SD
*Take the battery out and place it back
*Hold both Vol up + Vol down, and plug the USB cable in.
*On ODIN, Select the PDA button and browse to the recovery-cwm-hercules.tar
*Select Start and see the magic do its thing.
*It should flash the file to Recovery and reboot the phone.
*Take the battery out again and now boot into recovery
*Power off phone, unplug USB, Hold Both Vol up + Vol down and Hit power
*PERFORM NANDROID BACKUP FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY*
*Select Install zip from sdcard, choose the Superuser .zip and let it finish.
*Reboot!
*Now Lets delete some bloat ok? Be careful of what you delete!

Flash stock ROM/Lock boot-loaders without a PC on a rooted/unlocked phone? Possible?

Hi,
My problem is that the connection on the bottom of the phone are kind of broke.
Sometime the phone thinks it's charging when it's not and sometime the connecter dosen't work at all
So my question is if it's possible to flash or install stock Rom/lock boot-loaders from the phone so i don't have to connect it to the PC.
Is that possible? Because i want to send it back to Samsung for repair.
P.S I can't check the stats on the phone. Like boot loaders and stuff like that because i got the phone to charge now. And i don't want to change anything because then it might stop charge. I Can write the specs in a cupple of hours.
Thanks in advance!

Don't think so....

You should be able to flash a stock ROM, but there is no way to re-lock the bootloader with connecting to a computer.

If you can get it to connect once, you can do everything without unplugging.

Re-locking the bootloader does not wipe. But if you flash the data partition of a stock ROM, it will wipe. Did you check out the link in my thread? All instructions AND warnings are in there.

I just read the "topic" on your thread. It said "Backup your data" and i thought ye i have everything backed up on titanium so I don't have to read this part :/

I'm pretty sure my guide says to back up your data OFF of your device. The /sdcard on a GNex is nothing more than a folder on the userdata partition: /data/media. So when you erase the entire userdata partition (which contains /data) with the fastboot flash command, it will certainly erase /data/media.

Problem booting into CWM

I just recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Sprint) and I am having a hard time getting into the CWM recovery. Granted, the CWM recovery stays put, but getting into it is the problem. I hold down both volume buttons + power and my phone brings up "shell has been granted super user permissions" over and over.
The only way I can get into CWM is by installing ROM manager and selecting the option to boot into the recovery. I'm just afraid when something goes wrong and I need to go into recovery, I can't and basically screwed lol. If someone could give me some info or help me diagnose the problem I'd greatly appreciate it.

which version of CWM?

Look in your super user app and see if the logging is set to access only. If it's not change it & try again.

Use fastboot to flash a recovery image and from there flash a ROM. With a little digging I think there is even a way to fastboot flash a ROM, or you could always use a RUU and just root it again.

flash one of the factory images using fastboot. you can then install cwm and copy whichever ROM you want to and flash it in recovery

Do not use the Toolkit! Higher chance of bricking devices! Just use fastboot commands, what's wrong with that?
On your computer, just download a ROM, put it in the same directory as adb and fastboot, type in "adb push ROMNAME.zip /sdcard/" while on recovery mode. Not that hard! This way, you can educate yourself, so you don't need to ask for help again!

It sounds like your drivers may not be installed correctly. A few posts above yours is one by efrant. Read through the guides linked in his sig. One of them has some great information about drivers and making sure you've got them installed right. It looks a little intimidating at first, but read through a couple of times and it won't seem quite so overwhelming. If you're like me and need some information to compare against, check out Jubakuba's guides as well. They are both covering about the same thing, just explaining it a little differently.

The toolkit wont help you now, will it?
Uninstall drivers, reboot pc, put phone in recovery, connect to pc, feed it the naked drivers, use adb binary for windows which i'm sure is attached to one of the few guides.

You don't flash zips through Odin like that. Those files are flashed in TWRP. Plus weta_pie is the Custom ROM. You need the kernel.

Kernel goes in the AP option? Which exact one for android pie
Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

No, you don't flash the kernel like that. however It looks like things may have changed since I rooted. And the version of WETA Kernel I used isnt available anymore unless im blind.
Regardless Ill go over how I did it and hopefully that helps you.
First I flashed twrp-3.3.1-0-gts4lwifi.img to AP in Odin (Make sure you boot into TWRP right after you finish flashing or it will be overwritten with stock.)
Then formatted the data partition
Then rebooted back into recovery
Then flashed Forced Encryption Disabler V2 in TWRP
Finally WETA_Kernel_T83x_v4.0 to the boot partition.
My device would hang on the Samsung logo but hard resetting it would do the trick.
I do have these files however im not sure if im allowed to post them here.
Note: Apologies if my formatting and typing is strange ive been up all night trying to fix my sleep schedule.
Edit: The tutorial can be found here if that explains it better.

Not sure if I'm doing it right. Also took a pic of my download screen on my tab s4

That is the right version of TWRP but the flashing is failing on Setup Connection. Make sure you're using the original Tab S4 cable, Running Odin 3 as Admin, and have the Samsung USB Drivers installed

This is how i rooted my LTE Tab S4 SM-T835!!
I downloaded my files from here --> https://mega.nz/#F!OolGXaSB!h-dK8fm5FLXgoKi9-5U0OQ
1st, --> you do this --> Boot up fully, connect to internet and open dev settings and check oem unlock is checked.
2nd, --> Boot into download mode and flash WETA_Pie_T83x_Root+TWRP.tar in Odin. Don't let it boot to system, boot straight into TWRP.
3rd, --> Flash T83x_PIE_encryptdisabler_+++.zip
4th. -->Format data in TWRP
5th. -->Reboot to recovery/TWRP
6fh. -->Reboot to system
