Need some help rooting my device.

Hi, I just updated my firmware to gingerbread 2.3.5 and I haven't been able to find anything on how to successfully root this version of android. If you guys can lead me in the right direction, it would be awesome. Thanks

You're gonna get flamed for posting in the wrong section, not searching for any information on your own, and expecting information to be spoon fed to you.
You root GB by flashing drhonk's custom GB kernel through Odin.
There are at least three recent threads about this. Please search next tinge for information, and post when you can't find anything.

Thanks to you also for the help. I would hate to be a retail salesman and have to deal with the people that bit my head off. They probably walk into a store and say "GET ME THE NEW *UCKIN* SAMSUNG PHONE NOW". lol. I do admit that I should have read a little before posting but sheesh.

Development is never the appropriate place to post these kinds of things, even if that's the only forum there is for a device. I'm a veteran, friend, check the post count and my merciless trolling of Development spammers over in the Epic Touch section.

If it's the only forum for the device, it is. You'll just have to deal with your Development forum getting cluttered, because your posts don't belong in the I777 sections cluttering them.
Same deal as with the Touch Pro 2 Android Development forums being VERY lenient - We didn't want to clutter the base WinMo forums with Android crap.

Don't take it personally, its just that when the Skyrocket does get its own forum, we don't want the mods to have to spend days separating them from the i-777 forums.

As I said in another thread, I'm just here to put the base up - Odin TAR, deodexed stock ROM - and toss a noCIQ your way. Then my work here is done. I've got enough platforms on my hands.

Well thank you very much appreciated.

Bump - need another stock user. The last system.img I took may have become corrupted. A tester for Odin flashes is also needed. Don't worry, there's no risk to your phone.

[Q] [REQ]Galaxy S II Skyrocket STOCK ROM

So I've been looking around for a couple of days in hopes that someone would post a stock rom to flash back to but I haven't been able to locate one. I've searched the forum but wasn't able to find one (if you guys find one please let me know!).
It'd be nice if someone could give us any word as to whether or not the original STOCK rom is attainable to flash back to. I recently flashed a ROM but decided to go back to stock as it performed better, in my biased opinion of course.
If anyone knows of this please help! If your'e in the same boat as I am, please bump!
Thanks

[Q] (Samsung Infuse) How do I install Roms that are RAR, Zip, etc.

Can anyone please post on this thread on how to install a Rom on a Samsung Infuse? I have downloaded the current ROM for it and do not know how to do it. I have found some directions on YouTube but to no avail. This would help others.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318160
And this belongs in the Questions section.

What ROMs are you referring to exactly? All custom ROMs are flashable through CWM recovery. The "official" gingerbread leaks from przekret are only flashable through Odin or Heimdall. Directions for both of these methods already exists in infuse general and infuse q&a sections. I would suggest a google search with something like this:
Code:
site:xda-developers.com samsung infuse how to install ROM via Odin
It'll tell google to ONLY search xda-developers.com for your search term. The xda search sucks (IMO).

yo have to root the phone and have CWM instaled then you can flash what you want....and this is not a development question...please post in right section

I know but seemed like I wasnt getting a good response so I decided to quickly ask here.

I am referring to SGH-I997_I997UCKL2_UC_ATT.RAR

I promise I will remove soon and put in the correct section to help others with similar question.

I do not have rooted phone so I downloaded the ROM that was non-rooted

If that is the leak from prezkret thread, you'll need to extract the rar and there should be a tar.md5 in there (if memory serves). You will need to use Odin to flash this on your device so being rooted is not necessary. Put your phone into download mode, connect it to your pc, fire up odin and put the tar.md5 that is within this rar into the pda slot. That's all you'll need to do.

there is a tar.md5 this really helps. thankyou

Good.
Good luck!
EDIT: I reported the thread to be moved to Q&A since it's a Q&A session.

Ok thank you. I was going to delete it and repost but since you put that request Ill let that happen.

So, because you were impatient, you felt a need to break the rules of this forum and post in a section you are explicitly not suppost to post new threads in unless the thread is for something YOU have created?
What makes you think you are so special and are allowed to break the rules?
Also, I just looked through your posting history - you didn't even TRY to post in Q&A.

The bible will give you everything you will ever possibly need...

Please remember to use the thanks button to anyone who has helped you.

I think since you posted this question here and by some of the things you have said, you should wait on doing anything to your phone. I'm not trying to be mean but you really don't seem like you know what you are doing and that you need to do some research first. If not you'll have another post asking how to unbrick your phone. Do some reading.

That I'd what I did. I read all of the instructions from every rom thread and then hung out on IRC before I even attempted to flash a ROM
I still bricked it a few times, even partially broke download mode

Plenty of information on this forum to help you. All you need to do is search.

:good: Thanks for this. If we are on other ROM (2.3.6), what is the logic of going back to 2.3.5 then 2.3.6 again?

Why did you post a new thread for this?
Please in the future don't do that, there is no need, just go post in that thread, you can say this exact same thing in there.

The Dev section is for stuff that people made such as mods Roms and kernels (for phones with unlocked BL's). Jim didn't make the ICS leak he just posted directions on how to install ergo it should be in general.

This isn't your work, hence why it was moved. Further, if people can't search for what they're looking for, they shouldn't bother looking.
