Can anyone confirm that unroot works as well?
Without a working odin image or nandroid I think its important in the event of a hardware issue.

i just re-rooted my phone from stock, testing the Unroot now
Edit: it seems unroot didnt work, though like mentioned above you would only want to unroot incase of hardware issue or you want t replace the phone wit T-Mo, but thats all good now cause i posted a working Odin image earlier.
So cwm doesn't work for the sidekick 4g

First off thank you for the easy root But now I have an issue, the SD card wont work, looks like it wont find the extension anyone know how to fix this? Ive used many different card and none read but I know all work. Without this I cant do a ROM
Try reformatting the card? Did they work before you rooted? do they work again if you unroot?
They worked before the root, I didn't unroot yet. When you out then in the phone and go to the SD card setting it shows nothing. Just says unavailable. So I can't even format it on the phone. I've formatted them in many ways on the pc too
HTC EVO = my best friend
did you try pulling out the sdcard and putting it back in? does it show a blank sdcard, or no sdcard at all?
need a mirror, site is down
I cannot get # in adb. Only $. Can anyone tell me why? I rooted with this method and have smooth maximus v2.0 and bali kernel v2.0. Any ideas?
Edit: Nvm. I had to update the drivers with the ones here.

Make sure your phone is on USB Debug mode. (MENU > Settings > Applications > Developement > USB debugging = Checked )
How-To
Click on Step 1 and you have Root!
Click on Step 2 to flash recovery! You must flash a ROM manually after rooting!!! For whatever reason it is, ROM Manager does not operate correctly after the downgrade.
Remove all the file not need after you've completed all the step by clicking Extras > Clean root-files

What recovery is this going to use?
Lets you choose
After I just finished a few hours ago reading every post in the other thread and following all those steps!
Way to go, jiqqaman! This will help out quite a few folks on here.
Awesome. I rooted my phone earlier (at least I think I did) and I can't get any rom to install. I think it has to do with the amon-ra recovery so I'm glad this will let me choose.
Does it matter that my evo may already be rooted?
Damn your quick.
Wow Amazing if this works I like very much. Great work put up a more prominent donation button

I dunno anything bout unrevoked , but this doesnt give you the latest radio/wimax that the 1.47.651.1 OTA has. Theres a guide that shows you how to add the latest radio/wimax somewhere on the forum.
I'm using this as my very first post here.
On my old evo I used simple root and it was amazing! I had to return the old evo and get a new one, and as luck would have it it came with the new update.
I can't wait for this new simple root to be uploaded, I keep checking this thread every 5 minutes.
Anyway, one this program is up, running and working I assure you I will be clicking the donate button.
Thank you for the work and effort you are putting into this.

well unrevoked basically let you do anything root would except remove bloatware and flash roms
cuz what i was planning to do was install the update directly from my phone and then root with this method .. if i do that will my phone have the latest radio wimax added on to it already?

It's got the best of both worlds! Stock AT&T ROM for good sound quality, but it's also rooted!
But does rooting the stock rom enable hsupa upload speeds? If not, we need s combo rom with a desire and am inspire, sound issue fixed, hsupa enabled.
Is this perma-root? If so how did you do it or can you provide a cwm zip file?

If he simply roots the stock AT&T ROM, it still will not have the Settings Checkbox for allowing non-market apps to be installed, thus he must still use a sideloading app or use "adb install".
That's what I figured.

This.
The problem is, the way I rooted, ro.secure is still set to 1 (adb sees the phone as a non-rooted phone) which means I can't use "adb remount".
If I could use adb remount, it's a really simple script to update the settings.db file to allow for sideloading

Couldnt you use the method described here to do the "temproot" in order to get the adb root prompt and change it that way?
I also meant to ask if this has wifi tether enabled. I'm assuming it doesn't.
Hi
first off, if I am braking any rules by posting this here then pls direct me to the correct forum (very sorry if its in wrong place)
anyhow, I just got a new contract with a Samsung Galaxy S2 on virgin mobile (UK) & am hoping to root it so I can "maybe" install a new rom etc but the main reason I want root is because of the bloat that came with the phone. I don't really want to damage the phone, so I wont try until I know I am confidant in doing it without killing my baby.
can anybody either tell me how search works here because I cant find any info, or failing that tell/show me the easiest safest way to gain root on my baby.
if I root will virgin be able to tell if I ever need to send it in for repairs. I've heard of yellow triangles & flash counters & USB jigs & am very, very confuzed. pls help
I believe your model is the i9100, if so follow the guide below.

You can root via kernel which is the easiest
Sent from my LG-V909 using Tapatalk
if I root using this method can Samsung find out if I have to send it back, or is my warranty null & viod if I root?. thanks
I believe any method of rooting will void your warranty, so its best to return it to stock before sending it back to Samsung.
So again ill ask, is there any way for sum one to connect to my pc & root it for me pls? I don't want ics flashing, I just want root.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
It's not that difficult, invest some time and you can do it yourself.
There are even youtube videos guiding people how to root their device.
If you have trouble or questions about a specific step ask here.
I wouldn't recommend giving a random person access to your computer via teamview...
Its usually:
- Find out what ROM version you currently have
- Look for the right kernel with root matching your ROM
- Get usb drivers for your computer
- Reboot your device in download mode
- Use Odin or Heimdall to flash the new kernel
From a quick glance, this looks pretty solid:
http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50004972/
Edit: was bored looked around some more.
So this actually is okay too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693
And this was the one i used to root a friends sgs2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Most difficult part was actually choosing the right kernel fitting the ROM, too much choice
thanks for the info.
can you tell me exactly which unsecure firmware to go for pls?
these are my kernel version etc on my phone...

Try SuperOneClick. It's literally 1 click to root...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
You'll need the drivers for your phone already installed (Kies installs them for you), and you'll need to kill all processes that are related to Kies. Just read what to do on the above mentioned thread and you'll be rooted in no time.

OK so I found the insecure & secure kernel for my fone (XWKI4) & I'm pretty sure cf-root is the way to go to gain root, but now I'm confused about the custom can in cf-root, I've read that in ics USB storage don't work, video record don't work etc so my question is this, should I root it at all as ics official will be out very soon & that has everything working except flash so should i wait? The 1 thing that's pushing me towards say CM9 ICS is the lack of touchwiz UI, if i choose a custom rom I get the full ICS UI experience which is what I'm after, but as this phone is very expensive I really don't like the idea of voiding my warranty 2 weeks into a 12 month contract. Suggestions welcome (& yes I've spent 6 days reading ALL sections & posts.)

everything works on ICS , it depends on the ROM you choose. so far the only incomplete ROM is the Cyanogenmod 9. but i'm currently on Resurrection ICS Remix v1.0 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854 )
and it runs great. it's blazing fast and super stable and everything works great. including camera and sd storage.

The complete Sidekick 4G rooting/flashing/ toolkit!
Did you brick your phone? Check out the One-click "Easy ODIN" (Java required)
Do you need to root, but don't know how? (Who am I to judge?)
Are you looking for the best ROM for the SK4G up to date? (GOV2)
Do you need the CWM files?
Do you need all the drivers? (needed for "Easy ODIN")
Do you need more speed? (Check out the V6 Supercharger!)
Do you need faster 4G, or more battery? (Check out the 4G Blaze modem!)
If any of these fit you, chances are this kit is perfect for you. If it fits all of your needs, I guess it's just a match made in heaven!
If you find mistakes, please report them so I can correct them and reupload the pack. (I will be making changes as time progresses, so be alert!)
I have given credit to everyone whom I have used their tools. (Check the READMES)
Finally, enjoy! And thanks from everyone at XDA, you're a judgeless community and you helped me get better with Android in general!

yeah, it sounds like the recovery binary isn't getting into /system/bin. if you don't mind confirming.... you are extracting the recovery.zip, and putting the recovery file from in there into /system/bin? (then of course you have the update.zip, which is CWM, on the root of your sdcard)
and are you using a file program to paste the recovery file in there? and if/when you do, is it telling you that the file already exists and asking if you want to replace it?
Yea I extract and I am using root explorer and when I paste it, says 1 exsist and do I want to overwrite, I do so and update is on my sd..so I really am at a loss at y it isn't working...read the forums and people are doing the same as I am and it works...so don't know what my options are to achieve a new rom, lol...thanks for the help
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda premium
damn, ok, that's strange. the only last thing i can think of is, when in stock recovery, you are choosing 'reinstall packages'?
i hope you figure it out, the files definitely work, i just downloaded and used them a few days ago, so i don't know what's going wrong there.
Yea when in stock I choose reinstall packages, but always get the signature verification failed.....and from what I read its because of the recovery.....but I will keep trying and maybe get lucky on one of them....might just odin and redo the whole proccess again...thanks for the help...

That is a bit strange...I can't think of anything in this case. If you do ODIN, I can walk you through it.
I am going to try adb and see if that's the issuse with copy the recovery to the binary folder, thanks for your help

you could try this in Terminal Emulator:
-type su and hit enter
-then do: cp /sdcard/recovery /system/bin
this assumes that you have the recovery file on the root of your sdcard.
I softbricked my P6210 (Wifi only for those that don't know the model no.) and I didn't Nandroid before it happened. Can anyone upload/send me a Nandroid of the STOCK rom for this tablet? Please? The tablet is my son's and I feel like a total noob dad for messing up his tablet.
Why don't you odin back to the stock rom?

Here is a guide on how to get odin working on your computer, you can get the stock firmware from the stock firmware thread that is right here in the developers section (btw you posted your question in the wrong section.)

I can't run Odin cuz I don't have a PC. I'm on a MAC. And I can't find the Heimdall files to flash over. If this is in the wrong section, I'm sorry. I thought since I was requesting a Nandroid backup of a ROM that this belongs in development.
Mod, if this belongs in Q&A, feel free to move. And again, my apologies.

Also, I don't think that your hyper link worked, there is no link to "here" for that guide.

Hi there
Do not worry. It is easy to come back to the stock Rom. I have done this a hundred of times already. You only need to read a little bit the process to install via ODIN, I recommend you use a windows based software in order to make your software work with your tablet. Do not forget to install Samsung kies with the driver to communicate with the device as well as the odin software with the stock Rom which you can find both programs in this link:

I hope you can find this information useful.
God bless you....

Mobile ODIN is still an option as well.

I looked around at Mobile Odin and Im not sure how to get that running on a soft brick... How can I install and run it on a tab that doesnt boot?

I use a Mac and have installed Windows via Bootcamp. Would that be something you feel comfortable doing to have access to the Windows platform when you need it? It's pretty easy to do (lots of tutorials out there including one from Apple) and because it is free ATM, I installed Windows 8 consumer preview - and it runs pretty well on my Mac.

+ 1 VitaZora is right, you cannot stop yourself from reviving your device only 'cuz you have not a "real" PC! C'mon just emulate Windows OS and use Odin. You'll be safe

Funny thing, I actually did install Windows 8 CP as a Virtual Box, but my wife refused to let me parrallel it... She said "You wanted a Mac, not a PC. I'm not having you put Windows on the Mac... When I did a Virtual Box on it tho, the usb wouldn't recognize the tab, even with drivers installed... But I was able to get a hold of a Windows based PC for a little while early this morning and Odin'd the Tab back to stock... Finally..... Thank you everyone who provided help and tried to find a solution to my issue... This is why I LOVE this site and (most of) the people in it... When a member has an issue, other members take care of it... Its really awesome... Thanks again...
MOD----- CLOSE THREAD PLEASE----
Also, lastly, because everyone here was so helpful to me, you have all received official "thanks" from me... Thank you all again...
