[Q] SuperOneClick Issue - SGS2

Hi,
I own a Samsung Galaxy S2/ GT-I9000
Android: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9100XXKDJ
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513
[email protected] #2
I wanted to root the phone and i have followed this thread to the letter: [Guide] And then there was ROOT.
So i did everything;
-I flashed the kernel (XWKDD) succesfully.
-Phone reboots.
-Opening SuperOneClick; pressing ROOT. (phone still connected)
...And then it just does nothing.
It hangs @: Waiting for device.
As soon as I try to click something, like minimize window, it stops responding.
My device is in debugging-mode (as required for ODIN, reboot -> Still debug, so that's not the problem).
I'm really out of answers..
I don't know how to get it working..
Remember, i followed everything by the letter..
Until the root-part with superoneclick... It just won't let me...
Anyone got any answers?

Why not post this issue on the SuperOneClick thread? Get the latest version of SuperOneClick then try again. I think they just fixed something major.

Getting latest version of SuperOneClick doesn't change anything. I still can't root my phone

It happen to me the same
open the superoneclick, with the USB debugging off, when the
superoneclick says waiting for device you turn USB debugging on.
and it works
ah, i forgot!!! Install the previous version of superoneclick.
I install the version 1.9.5 i think, and yes its old but it works
Great news. -1Day roots AT&T Motorola Atrix4G!!! YAY!
11/29/2010:
I'm sorry I haven't been updating lately!!! The problem is, I no longer have an Android phone and I can't play around or test anymore. I'm going to see if I can find one on craiglist or ebay.
11/10/2010:
I finally figured out how to root without looping. After rooting 13 phones, this is how I did it on the first try.
Turn USB Debugging OFF
Click Root
When it says: Waiting for Device, Turn USB Debugging ON
It'll now run RATC
When it says: Starting ADB Server...
Turn USB Debugging OFF
Turn USB Debugging ON
Turn USB Debugging OFF
All BEFORE it says "Waiting for device..." again

I'm not familiar with how to flash anything unless using ODIN or CWM. I know drhonk's kernels http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194032 have red CWM but I've always used ODIN to get them installed.
What problem are you having with the drivers? Maybe you just need to update/reinstall?

If your phone used to be recognized, try plugging it in to different USB. If not, try another microUSB cable.
The same thing happened to my sister's SGS4G after I flashed Valhalla for her. Her laptop wouldn't recognize it, but my desktop did, so we swapped cables and it worked.

the thing is that the drivers wont install again -_-

What OS & 32 or 64-bit? Did you try to install over the currwnt installation or did you uninstall the broken ones first?

The thing was I got a whole new hardrive and I installed a 64 bit on win 7. nd it keeps failing on the setup and says it failed to install

Weird. Which drivers are you installing? I'm wanting to say mine installed with Kies Mini though I could be wrong. You can grab the 64-bit version of the USB drivers here: http://drivers.softpedia.com/dyn-postdownload.php?p=96693&t=4&i=1
Not sure if that's the same ones you are trying to install or not, but may be worth a shot. Another possibility is that the drivers are partially installed. Try this (sorry if I made this seem novice-like, but I just want to try and be clear):
Open a command prompt
type this, followed by Enter: set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
type this, followed by Enter: devmgmt
Once Device Manager opens, click View on the menu bar and select Show Hidden Devices
Expand both "Modems" & Universal Serial Bus controllers" & uninstall anything that has Samsung Android USB Composite Device, Samsung USB Composite Device, Samsung Mobile Device, Samsung Mobile Modem, etc.
Once the devices are gone, maybe reboot (probably not necessary, but why not?) and try the USB driver install again.

Ever have any luck?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

phresh. i would uninstall the current drivers. then try running ccleaner to clear out your registry. then reboot. install the 64 bit drivers that are found in the bible. once you install the drivers, reboot again. then try plugging in the phone.
make sure your firewall and antivirus are off when you do this for the first time. as stated above, make sure the usb devices are not installed in device manager.
if it installs, unplug the phone and let it disconnect from the computer and then plug it back in to make sure it was isntalled properly. if it was, put it in download mode and let it install the drivers for that. now you should be good to go.

This worked! haha thanks bro! I wish i had enuff money to send you a gsii so you could help me

Please help me with download mode!!

Hello, i am currently trying to root my sisters galaxy s 4g... Her Baseband is T949VUVKI1. Firmware is 2.3.5, Build Number is GINGERBREAD.VUVKI1. i remember flashing her phone to 2.3.5 and download mode working perfectly fine, and for some reason it wont go into download mode at all... the computer is not recognizing her phone either. YES, i do have usb drivers installed otherwise my galaxy s 4g wouldnt be recognized on my computer(odin specifically, not turning yellow). Please help, i have searched everywhere in the internet and tried almost everything... Volume up and down and plug charger, batter out volume up and down usb and battery in etc. PLEASE HELP!! Thank You in Advance.

1. Try reinstalling to drivers. Also make sure you're using the same USB port as Windows can be funny about it it sometimes.
2. if download mode is being difficult, go download the Android SDK from www.android.com. Install it, run it, and only download the platform tools. When that's done, open a command promt, CD to where the plaform tools installed (either c:\program files\Android\Android-sdk\platform-tools or c:\program files (x86)\Android\Android-sdk\platform-tools ), then issue the command: adb reboot download.
3. I suggest you check the dev section for bhundven's one-click collection. Uses Java and Heimdall vs. ODIN and works easily.

Get it back into download mode, go grab a bhundven's one-click. The one-clicks utilize Heimdall vs. ODIN, which means they use open-source USB drivers instead of the proprietary Samsung drivers. See if that enables the computer to see the phone. If so, flash the one-click

That's a good idea. Some people have reported conflicts between the drivers.

Why would only Odin 1.85 see my phone in USB Debugging and not in download mode? And all other Odin verisions never see my phone, no matter what state it is in... I am at work so I will give the one click another try when I get home. I never thought of uninstalling the Samsung drivers prior to install; however, I did use the one click method to no avail. However, Heimdall's one-click was able to see my device it just kept giving me a driver error. This is so crazy it might just work.

I wish I had a good answer. ODIN's a funny animal. I've been fortunate and not had any problems with it. I am hoping you are correct - maybe it was just a driver conflict. Let me know how it goes.

didn't work...

You could try downloading a terminal app from the market. Open the terminal and type:
reboot download
See if that does it.

***Update***
Okay, so Oneclick was not working at all no matter what I did with the drivers. However, in all my tinkering with it I installed the Samsung Driver, the Open Source one, and some gadget driver as well from oneclick.
Doing this put all these drivers in my computer. Then I went into my Device manager (Win 7) and looked at my USB driver and I uninstalled everything and went to the stock win 7 usb driver. Then I plugged my phone in and my computer began searching for drivers for this device when it decided that it would be a good idea to load all three drivers at once and voila my phone was then showing up on ODIN 1.85.
I then proceeded to flash my phone with a rom, probably the wrong one considering I was coming from 2.3.5 and my phone boot looped and then soft bricked(sorry if I used these term incorrectly, noobin it).
After, some nervous moment of scouring XDA I found the god-send of a post on getting in to download mode, using odin, and flashing stock 2.3.6 - thank you Raver(I believe). When I did this, my phone magically started obeying ODIN like a devout viking and is now running 2.3.6 superbly.
Keeping with my phones newly found viking heritage, I intend to figure out how to properly root it, update the kernal and modem(not sure which one is best), get CWM, and subsequesntly put in Valhalla Black.
Seeing as though this last rendevous with flashing caused me a little scare I may hold off and wait to see what the next big update is (maybe a port ICS variant) and then go with that.
Anyway, thank you Stephen for helping me out with this and to everyone in this post.

Here's some reading for you Tytan,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_4G#FAQ_.28with_answers.29
PS: Unless you wanna brick your phone, do not flash anything that isn't intended for the SGH-T959V Samsung Galaxy S 4G. You're saying you wanna flash a Vibrant ROM. You can, if you want an expensive paperweight. Happy flashing!

2.3.5 may have been for vibrant...yeah I think I got lucky. I did it prior to knowing about xda.

How are you getting into download mode?
There was a post in another thread where the person apparently was using the power menu to get into download mode or maybe the adb command.
Have you tried both the old fashion volume +/- and plug in usb cable? Or the adb command?
Do you have access to another computer? Believe it or not sometimes just changing computers will make the difference.
Weird when I replied there was no posts other than the ones on the first page...oh well glad its working now.

[Q] Did I brick my phone? [Solved]

Hello all,
Firstly thank you for the great development and help the community is providing for GS4G. From the time I bought this phone (few weeks ago), I have been playing around with different ROMs. I try GB roms and ICS roms every now and then. Always go back to GB using 1 Click's.
Yesterday when I was going the 1-Click Heimdall, it failed in between with some error. After this, I am unable to boot into the OS or recovery or download mode. It comes to a screen which tells me that the firmware upgrade was interrupted and asks me to use recovery in Kies. I tried this, but Kies does not even recognize my phone anymore. Windows shows my phone as "unknown device". I tried uninstalling and re-installing Kies, but still no use. I hope there is some way to get my phone back.
I read somewhere about a USB Jig that could get you into download mode. I have ordered it from Amazon and it may take a couple of days. Meanwhile, if any of you can help, it would be great. Thanks!

youre soft bricked, this is fixable. The firmware upgrade interrupted screen is the same thing as download mode. try reinstalling the drivers which i think are found in the sgs4g BIBLE thread. after that, plug in your phone and make it go to the firmware upgrade interrupted screen and see if it installs the drivers. read lumin's guide. it explains everything step by step. im going to try to link it here soon.

Thanks. I had tried eollie's Heimdall Stock KJ6 + Root. But, I don't remember seeing the driver installation window show up. I tried reinstalling the drivers through Kies couple of times and re-booting. But, still didn't work. I will try what you suggested when I get home.

You should be able to fix it. Goodluck

Sounds like you need to run zadig.exe in the Drivers folder of the Windows distribution of Heimdall.
If that doesn't work, right-click on (My) Computer, select Manage, then select Device Manager. In the panel that opens, find your device, right-click on it and you can then look at its properties and potential change the driver there.
(Yes, this kind of shenanigans is another of the reasons I really dislike Windows)

Ok so what you should try is downloading the heimdall suite
https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/downloads
Extract and open the drivers folder and run zadig. Click devices/show all devices and if your phone is plugged in and in download mode it should see it. Install drivers and it should say drivers successfully installed. Then run your one-click jar file and it should work.

I tried all this. But, still Zadig shows my phone as "unknown device" and does not install drivers for it. Tried USBDview to remove any instance of Samsung & Android from the drivers. But, still does not recognize my device. Any other suggestions.

Try different USB ports on your computer.
Install Ubuntu (not totally kidding on that one, it will install side-by-side with Windows)

When is that jig getting there? One time I had a similar situation and I built myself a jig and it worked like a charm. Phone goes straight into download mode. I dunno if this will resolve your situation but I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time we've seen someone with this problem and then after trying several different computers and USB cables we usually say maybe your phone's USB Jack is messed up? And then the thread goes dead.

Have you uninstalled any drivers? Download and install the drivers from the bible thread if you haven't. Like suggested, try different USB ports and different USB cables. Sometimes it takes more than one try for some reason.

Have you rebooted your comp at all?? If no that might be the problem.

SUCCESS !!
Thanks a lot for all your suggestions.
Here is what worked:
- I opened device manager and uninstalled ALL USB devices (Yes ALL, not just Samsung, Android etc) and unfamiliar Storage devices.
- Then I rebooted once so that all other device drivers could be installed.
- Then I rebooted a second time and let it install any remaining drivers.
- Then I plugged in the phone and it installed the driver and now it started showing the correct device name
- Now, I ran the Heimdall 1-click and it opened offered to re-install drivers. I did this.
- After all this, I was able to get 1-Click GB rom installed and now back to VB.
(I think the key was "uninstall all USB devices" and "reboot TWICE")

glad you got it to work. ive had my share of soft bricks with this device and it always takes something different to get it to run right. im starting to think that my computer is alive because of this reason because it just doesnt like to play nice sometimes. LOL

Besides samsung kies, you should also uninstall and reinstall the correct drivers from the samsung website. Also sometimes something as simple as getting a new usb cable will fix this probem. Sounds kinda dumb but ive had samsung phones that work with one cable and are not recognized by another.

[Solved] Odin doesn't detect your phone. Drivers error. Blah Blah...
Folks!
Your phone BRICKED???
ODIN Doesn't detect your phone???
Shows Driver Error Code 37???
Stuck in bootloop???
Well Well!
Everything is fine.
Don't just try all the solutions online.
The problem is installation of samsung drivers over and over again is replacing the existing drivers instead of wiping them out. So, the drivers have become incompatible with your device and as well as ODIN.
The solution is very simple.
Just reinstall your operating system of pc, install drivers and then You will definitely find what the magic with the drivers.
Hope you found it helpful...
