2.3 Re-Root

hey ,
I have recently updated to 2.3 via KDZ method. No problems doing so , updated checked phone info and everything has gone fine. Looking to do a re-root to add a custom rom however "oneclicksuperroot" will not root the phone now , i have google'd it but have no results.
Could anyone point me in the right direction or a quick run-down of what i need to do.
Thanks for your time,
Jordan

Try this. It worked for me on v21a...
Flash zip and retry with SuperOneClick

What I did was searching xda for the newest download of superoneclick and that worked like a charm!

Download, run as administrator and press root, done!

Will the officials OTA ICS update Unroot my Phone?

So the question is in the title. Will the update brick or indoor my phone? If I wanted to install a rooted version does anyone know of a working mirror?
Thanks in advance.

From all the threads in general, it would seem the update does unroot your phone. Also from those threads it would seem flashing a custom recovery and, subsequently, the su zip will give you root back. I don't know of a pre-rooted version out yet.

i just upgraded to ics a little while ago using rom manager, i had to go back to stock 2.3.3 which unrooted my phone but did not lock the phone . I was wondering the same thing and that is how the heck do i root my phone now lol. my phone still shows the unlocked lock on the boot up screen under "Google" but i dont have SU permissions anymore. if I still have su.zip file and cwm can i just use fastboot and flash the img and su.zip ?

What if I don't have my original files to roll back to stock GB? I just downloaded the version Koush put up on his twitter...will that allow me to flash in CWM and update?

Download stock images from from manager then update to 2.3.6 then you can flash the one from koush's twitter.
Root will be lost after update. Currently flashing su.zip wont work. Still trying to figure it out.

We might just have to re*root when they release the info.

Let me ask you also, I'm currently running Alpha13 w/ Francisco.Franco kernel. Is the official that much smoother that I should lose my root?

[Q] How to root after updating to 4.0.4 Official

I just did the update to Android 4.0.4 through Kies today. As I've determined I'm not a fan of Touchwhiz, I'd like to root my Skyrocket.
Does anyone know if the root process for 2.3.6 would also work for this version? If not, does anyone know where I could find how to root the device?

Search is your freind. LOL even thou it says for ics leak, it works on the factory stuff as well as GB 2.3.6

I rooted the stock ICS earlier today via this method, and can confirm that it works.

I used this method on UCLF5 and root explorer routinely has problems mounting system. Not sure why.

You need to make sure u have busybox installed. I know that works for me, for i used to have the same issues. It didnt matter if it was GB or ics. Iam sure others will disagree, but just telling how i fixed that problem on my phone.

I need a little help here, Noobie that I am.....I had rooted sr brought it back to stock and then upgraded it to ics 4.04 stock. Then rooted it again using the methods found in this thread. I got it to take after the third time and it show superuser in the apps section and I can open it. I downloaded pro copy of titanium pro and the free version but it tells me the phone is not rooted:crying: I and that I need to ensure I have busybox. I download that also and i still cannot get titanium to knowledge the root. Any suggestions would be most helpful. I would like to freeze some of the bloatware as I did when I had gingerbread 2.36 and had titanium running.
update: used the newest version of superuser and installed busybox installer and still no go. I downloaded root check and it says not rooted. guess when I get home tonight I will re-root again....

[ROOT] Straight Talk: Samsung Galaxy Centura

It's been successfully rooted with POOT.
It has also been rooted via CWM by Area51 Here for CWM and then Here for Root! I did find some ROM development going on at Area51 as well here. Area51's CWM does not appear to play nice with any phone rooted with Poot however so it's best to install CWM from Area51 first and then use their root method.

The root method used at A51 is out-of-date, and can't be updated. Therefore, you'll continuously receive an update notification and won't be able to stop it.

Not True! All you have to do is just not install the update when it boots you into CWM. This will be fixed when they complete the ROM they're working on. I don't get update reminders after accepting the first one and just not installing it once in recovery mode at the install screen!

My roomate just got this phone, gonna root it for her. Thanks for posting methods.

You might want to wait for Area51 to complete their first ROM for the phone. Currently it has an annoying update that keeps trying to install over the rooted stock OS that will break root if you install it. Of course you can just keep clicking on accept and then selecting NO when you get to the install update screen in CWM like I do, but it's an annoyance.

Any luck on that CM9?

Is there any roms for the Samsung Galaxy Centura on StraightTalk that is Android version 4.1, 4.2 or above?

Not yet. Something that Samsung broke in the kernel is preventing the ROMs from booting up.

Did you rename the backup? If it has spaces, it will cause that error.

What's the best method of returning this phone back stock is there a flashable firmware or tar file?

Does anyone know what has become of Androidarea51 ??
I've been trying to access that site for some time and it always fails to load.
It has been mentioned in this thread as a source for rooting this model of phone and I've just been given one & would like to root it...
Thanks.

Did anyone get the ROM to boot up? I've been trying but all I get is a black screen
