[Q] need help with sgs2. - General Questions and Answers

I not long got a new samsung galaxy s 2. iv rooted and overclocked. it was all working well for a week but now none of my rooted apps can acces root and my superuser tells me...
AN ERROW OCCURED AND SU WAS NOT UPDATED - A ZIP FILE (SU-2.3.1-BIN-SIGNED ZIP) HAS BEEN PLACED ON YOUR SDCARD PLEASE REBOOT INTO RECOVERY MODE AND FLASH IT TO UPDATE YOUR SU.
Please someone tell me what i need to do.

If you are on a custom rom press and hold power and then press recovery. Or open rom manager and boot into recovery. If you do not have either, reboot the phone while holding both volume keys and power. Then, while in CWM recovery, use the volume rocker to navigate to "install .zip from sdcard" use power to select. Then scroll down to the zip file (SU-2.3.1-BIN-SIGNED ZIP) and select it. Then select yes to flash and watch.

Iv just finished doing that. this is what happened
E :FAILED TO SEEK IN /TMP/SIDELOAD/PACKAGE.ZIP
(INVALID ARGUMENT)
E: SIGNATURE VERIFICATION FAIL
INSTALLATION ABORTED
IV ALSO RESTORED FACTORY SETTINGS BUT NOTHING
?????????

someone please post me an answer????????

Try doing a factory reset and then rooting again with a different root method. Use either superoneclick root or gingerbreak

Have any luck?

Ok, so I FINALLY rooted my Samsung Vibrant (SGH-T959) - here's how!

Hey all,
I've been trying all the various one-click root apps that are on here, and none of them have worked for my T-Mobile Vibrant (Android 2.1 update 1).
I did find some other threads/posts elsewhere that mentioned copying the update file to the main sd, then booting to recovery, then installing the update.zip.
After a bunch of variations of trying to boot to recovery and not having the "install update.zip" to the zip file being the wrong file for the phone, I found an answer. Here's how I rooted my SGH-T959:
Go here to get the proper update file. Download the zip and rename it "update.zip".
Connect to your computer via USB and make sure you mount the drive. My Windows 7 box recognized the phone immediately, but my XP box at work didn't. If you need drivers, you can get them here
Copy the update.zip file over to the main sd card.
Unplug the phone and power down.
To boot to recovery console on my phone, I had to hold Volume + and - and the power button all at once. I let the "Virbant" text pop up twice before letting go of the buttons.
The phone boot to recovery console. Using the Volume +/-, navigate to "install packages" and then press the power key.
WOOT! you've rooted the Samsung Vibrant!
Hopefully that'll help - it was a real pain in the ass for me to find this info, but it works.
Update.zip not working to root my Vibrant
I do the steps and it looks as if it is installing, then it reboots but I can't get root access still.. WTF??
Download Z4 Root from the Android market - it works.

[How-to] OpenRecovery,Root,Nandroid & other features.

Hello, everybody.
It's my first post-guide, so sorry if I make some mistakes
BEFORE STARTING UP I HAVE TO SAY THAT ME AND THE FORUM ADMINISTRATORS DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE ON YOUR DEVICE.
BE SURE THAT YOU WILL LOSE THE WARRANTY OF YOUR PHONE WHILE DOING ILLEGAL ACTIONS.
So....LET'S START!!!
(If the links are broken PM me to fix it, thank you.)
Required things that you need:
1.) Motorola Milestone with stock 2.1firmware (Eclair)
2.) Motorola USB Drivers files
3.) Vulnerable sbf Recovery File
4.) RSD Lite (v4.9)
5.) G.O.T. OpenRecovery (v2.01) or Androidiani OpenRecovery (v3.3)
(INFO ABOUT ANDROIDIANI COMMING SOON. THANKS TO greglord ABOUT HIS REQUEST)
Rar pass:
Code:
[B][COLOR="Red"]mhnx[/COLOR][/B]
How to enter the G.O.T. or the Androidiani OpenRecovery Menu:
Due the motorola limmitations we have to flash a vulnerable recovery file to run unofficial zip files on our devices.
Step One:
Power off your device, after open the hardware keyboard and press both the D-pad UP key and the power key and let the device power up.
The bootloader will be oppened. Now connect your phone with the usb cable on your pc and let it install the drivers properly.
Bootloader seems like this:
Code:
Bootloader 90.78
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
THIS IS ONLY FOR MILESTONE WITH BOOTLOADER v90.78
If you want to update your BOOTLOADER go here and flash the sbf file like I explain you from below.
Step Two:
After completing the driver installation start the RSD Lite on your pc,
press the "..." button on the program and navigate to find the sbf file you downloaded before and click on the start button.
If the "Start" button will be gray you might rename the .sbf file to a shorter name like: "bootloader.sbf".
Step Three:
Now you must power on your mobile phone and connect it on your computer,
after this you must copy the update.zip and OpenRecovery for Androidiani OpenRecovery or update.zip,Openrecovery and OpenRecovery-CFG folders on the root of your SDCARD.
After this steps you must power off your device.
Now there are two ways to enter the Recovery mode on your phone,
1.) Long press both the camera button and the power keys until the /!\ image appears on your phone and
2.) Open the hardware keyboard and long press both the "x" and the power button until the /!\ image appears on your phone.
after this image you have to release the previous keys and press the Volume + button and the camera button.
You are now on the Recovery menu,
navigate down with the D-pad hardware keyboard and select "apply sdcard:update.zip"
after this you are on the G.O.T. or the Androidiani OpenRecovery menu.
How to ROOT your Milestone with G.O.T. OpenRecovery:
(You must be in the G.O.T. OpenRecovery menu)
Navigate on the "Root Phone" selection with the D-pad or the Volume keys and press it either with the D-pad center key or the Camera
Button
This is it! Your device is now rooted.
(Easy eh? )
How to undo ROOT
Use this commands with the ADB-Shell to undo the root on your phone.
Code:
mount system
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
umount system
How to Nandroid Backup & Restore your device:
(You must be in the G.O.T. OpenRecovery menu)
Recommendation: Charge your phone 50%+ before Backup/Restore
Navigate on the "Nandroid" selection.
Enter the "New Nandroid System (1.45)".
Now, enter the "Open Nandroid Menu" and hit "Backup"
You are now to select the items you want to backup, if you want to backup everything just select "Backup All", if you don't want to backup everything navigate down and select the items you want to backup and press "Backup Selected".
If you want to Restore a Nandroid Backup, in the nandroid menu you have to press "Restore", a menu will appear with the backups you have done so far, select that you want from the backups and in the menu that will appear hit "Restore All" or select theese you want and press "Restore Selected".
THE BACKUP AND THE RESTORE MIGHT TAKE SOME MINUTES TO COMPLETE.
How to Install Memhack,BusyBox,Flac-Support,Just in Time (beta) and change the Screen Density (Resolution)
On the main G.O.T. OpenRecovery Menu navigate down and select "Launch 2.1 Menu"
After this navigate again down and select "Hacks & Mods Menu"
A menu will appear.
Theese are very easy to install.
Just navigate at the thing you want to install and press "Install"
If you want to Uninstall just press "Deinstall"
Little strange is Busybox.
To install Busybox select:
Code:
[ ] /system/sbin
[ ] /system/xbin
[ ] /data/busybox
and after selecting theese hit "Install" down of theese selections.
To change density navigate down again and press "Open Menu"
Again a menu will appear with some selections from 190 to 280
there are some tips in there about the screen size:
(smallest,original,biggest). I think that you will understand the sizes .
How to Wipe & Clean your Milestone:
If you want to make a Wipe with the G.O.T. OpenRecovery menu,
open the menu navigate down and select "Wipe & Cleaning Menu"
After the menu is loaded select:
Code:
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
and Wipe Cache Partition
You are done! You have wiped your phone.
To make a Full-Wipe you must format and the SD-Card.
WARNING! You will lose all of your data except the files on SD-Card.
If you don't want to lose your data make a Nandroid Backup before wiping!!
How to change the baseband on your phone:
Open the G.O.T. OpenRecovery menu navigate down and select the "Stock GOT Features Menu".
Navigate again down and select the "Baseband Menu", after this you are ready to select the baseband you need to run on your phone.
If I have some mistakes, please correct me
THIS FOR NOW, IF YOU NEED SOMETHING ELSE TO ADD JUST PM ME.
UPDATES COMMING!!!
for future..
this too
Nice tutorial- I suggest you update these 2 things:
1. its Eclair, not Enclair
2. I also suggest you mention Androidiani OpenRecovery as alternative to GOT OpenRecovery.

Dear graphitepearl03,
I followed the instructions contained @ android.doshaska.net/rootable i.e.
[...] 2. "E:EOCD marker occurs after start of EOCD E:signature verification failed" error after you apply the update.zip in recovery means that you do not have the vulnerable recovery on your phone.
If you applied an OTA update before, there is a script run at every system boot that checks and re-flashes the recovery when its checksum doesn't match. In such case, you have to avoid booting to android after the vulnerable recovery flash. Boot directly to recovery when RSD Lite restarts the phone (hold camera button) and from there remove the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file.[... go on reading ...]
This helped me.
Best,
bb

[Q] how do i bring back root on my i9023 ics 4.0.4

I have just updated my nexus s to the latest 4.0.4 update..now i want to bring back root access .. as we all know were going to loose root access if we updated. anyway i previously used this method http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/ now im wondering if this also applies to 4.0.4 update and what is the best recovery to flash on this update?
The only thing i did was upgrade to 4.04, dont reboot but flash superuser, all clear, root is back.

hmn... what i did was
i went to adb
open cmd
flashed recovery3101.img
after that i installed superuser using CWM recovery . if your using the stock recovery it will only show an error msg. didnt wipe anything ... all is ok and well hehehe cheers!
I have issue with CWM and Root. I've follow the guide here.
I manage to successfully do up to step 4 without error. After that, when I reboot the device, it have a message "android installing update". I installed titanium backup and it says no root access. Superuser is available. When I tried to update on Play "Update for Superuser could not be downloaded due to an error (941)"
I tried to go back to recovery, it is the stock recovery instead of CWM. I've updated my 9023 from 4.0.3 (stock non root) to 4.0.4 using CWM. I've installed superuser using CWM as well. But when I reboot the device, it went back to stock recovery. I've tried fastboot CWM, turn off, then turn back on to go recovery, it is using CWM. But when I reboot, and try to go back to recovery, it goes to the stock recovery.
Appreciate some help. Hope my explanation is clear.
Will
First try flashing the latest Superuser than reboot, then open rootexplorer
Rename "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" to "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak".
All Stock ROMs replace the recovery on each Boot if it isn't the stock one. Renaming this script stops that. After you do this, flash CWM one more time and it'll stick.
Thanks to harbb who helped me with the same isseu
not sure if this is legit... I found a few sites with the same tutorial but different backup apps same file download though... can anyone varify?
filename: Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed, from a mediafire download (/?57iroxlzh8bb5qi)
from tutorial: Root Nexus S with Android 4.0.4 ICS IMM76 Firmware, from androidlot.com
(sorry can't post link)
it just said to do a recovery from bootloader, no other tampering needed... was thinking of using it if it worked as I just did the Nexus S 19023 OTA update 2.3.6 - 4.0.4 found on this forum but wanted to root to use voodoo sound... first timer and dont want to mess around with roms or cwm... figure no harm rooting as Nexus S probably won't get anymore official updates
Signature verification failed
well i have tried to install the superuser from recovery (apply update from SDcard) but every time i try to install the zip file it gives me signature verification error .

That means your not in CWM Recovery. You have to follow the guide and use fastboot to flash a custom recover. Thats why we use a custom recovery, to bypass the signiture check
so wats da final result?
in ics 4.04 how to flash cwm and root and install vodoo?
ended up using m.sabra's one click root and flash cwm tool (/showthread.php?t=1544940) worked a charm, downloaded voodoo sound plus so i didnt have to flash new kernel, putting music back on phone now (had to unlock bootloader) to see how it sounds
also used appbackup&restore, copied backup folder from sd to computer, used the root tool, redownloded appbackup&restore, copied folder back from computer to phone, allowed install from non market, reinstalled all apps
now have superuser and cwm and all my apps back
Hope this may help. it's the way a did it on my Nexus S
Download fastboot for Windows or Mac.
Make sure you have the Android SDK installed.
Download ClockworkMod Recovery.
Download the Rooted Su Binary for 4.0.4
Make sure you have the necessary drivers installed for your device
Put your device into Bootloader Mode (turn your device off, then hold Volume Up + Power).
Once in Bootloader Mode, type the following into your Command Window
fastboot oem unlock
You should now see a couple of lines go through on your Window.
Then Type the following:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img
Provided this went correctly (it should), you now want to cycle down to “Recovery” on your device using the Volume buttons and press Power to confirm. This should boot you into ClockworkMod.
Select Recovery again, navigate to “Mounts & Storage” and then to “Mount USB Storage”. Once this has been done, your SD Card should appear on your PC.
Copy the Rooted Su Binary you have downloaded to your SD Card, and then Unmount USB Storage on your device.
Navigate back to the main menu of ClockworkMod and select “Install zip from sdcard”, then “Choose zip from sdcard” and select the package you just copied across, and then confirm the installation. This should install the package and root your device.
Hey guys sorry i was on vacation, thats why it took me so long time to come back, anyways... here is the link of the step by step procedure on rooting your nexus s, this is what i followed, http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-new/
but what i did was ;
1. after updating i lost root
2. open adb tool
3. flash new recovery3101.img ( this is to replace default recovery from the stock ics 4.0.4)
4.then installed superuser from the new recovery that i installed ( CWM)
i wont go through all the details since , the link already explained that there....so cheers and hope this works for you , all the needed files is in the link also.

P6210 install CWM & ROOT HELP

i just updated my GT-P6210 to ICS and want to install CWM & ROOT the device so i have now the Android factory System (3e) recovery so i found this Thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379532 saying

I am using the P6200 but i was having a similar issue yesterday.
How i solved it was doing a re-stock to ICS and installing the CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip file in the stock recovery, meaning it might be better to root before you install CWM, Also the App SuperSU app from the market, once this is done.. proceed to install CWM..
This was how i managed to get it going. This worked on the P6200
This is development, not a help section.
Iam sure, someone and me will help you in correct section!!!
And if you would have read a bit here, you would have noticed that almost EVERYONE had this problem after ics upgrade... !!

There's an easier way.
First, obtain root by the method in this thread, which can be done using stock recovery. I did this on my GT-P6210 (wi-fi only, not from T-Mobile, so don't worry about that).
Second, get the newer and better CWM Recovery from this thread, where aorth recommends using Heimdall to flash, but I (and a lot of others) had trouble getting Heimdall to work, so I ended up buying Mobile Odin from the Play store and using it to flash. It worked perfectly. Now I have rooted ICS with CWM Recovery.
@Bad2hold: I feel your comments are uncalled for. There's so much info on here that it's not always easy to tell what's old, what's new, and what applies to your exact situation. Why not be helpful instead?
Yeah, general is better than development section, so here ya go:
Easiest way is to do exactly what you have described above, but using temporary cwm instead of 3e. (Links in the quote)
(Actually the easiest and fastest is the heimdall way but it needs some reading and drivers)
ROOT AFTER ICS UPDATE
Flash with heimdall. Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508703
Code: heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img
Use aorth's img version from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29077817
And rename to recovery or type full file name instead of recovery.img
Than flash root+supersu from recovery. flashable zips here:
http://goo.im/superuser and that root.zip what u already have
Or use this method here with temporary cwm touch
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28689474
Confirmed working but only temporary cwm with that way.

this is a working root for ICS :laugh:
- Download these 2 files ( CWM.zip and root.zip ) and put in your SDCARD:
- Reboot to recovery: (Hold Volume Up+Power till it reboot to recovery)
- Choose apply update from external storage.
- Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
- Once the cwm recovery appear: Touch the screen to choose and navigate the options
* This cwm recovery is only temporary cwm recovery.
Once you had install the cwm recovery, navigate and;
- Choose install zip from sdcard.
- Choose zip from sdcard.
- Choose root.zip ;and Yes - Install root.zip.
- Once done, choose reboot system now.
* Your device is rooted without permanent cwm recovery: If you don't need cwm recovery. You can stop at here.
You will find superuser app in your drawer
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If u need permanent cwm, use aorths, linke on top, just flash with mobile odin available for free here on xda) by renaming his file to recovery.img
Or search a flashable zip and also flash it via temp. Cwm
