I read of a couple ways to root this device. Is the skyrocket easy root the best way to do it?

Yes it is if your phone is on android version 2.3.5 it will not work with 2.3.6. If your on 2.3.5, and you use this method. Just download rom manager from the market and choose to install cwm recovery for the tmobile galaxy s2 with it, and you will be set
Thanks man

I've been cruising around this forum for a couple hours and I see roms to flash via ODIN and deodexed and rooted stock, but no plain-jane out of the box ODIN.
Am I missing something? In the Captivate forum it was easy to find.
ODIN isnt a rom its simply a program/tool used to flash kernels, I recommend you use whitwhawxk's stock kd1 but it is rooted and deodexed (which are good things anyway)

Don't worry I do know that, lol. Not a complete noob.
I'm more concerned with UNROOTING to out of the box state for warranty or resale scenarios or to update via kies mini.
In the Captivate forum the plain Jane Odin was easy to find.
Thanks for your response.

So is that the official unroot method so far? Flash the rooted stock and use SOC to unroot?
Will that result in a perfect out of the box state?
Also haven't been able to find kies on the samsung website. Do I have to register before they'll let me download it?

Im a bit confused...
I have worked with so many HTC phones, rooting those and installing CM7.
Now I have to do the same with a Samsung Galaxy S 4G of my cousin.
So right now I rooted the phone using SuperOneClickRoot v2.1.1.
Now I don't find a way to install a good ROM. I see CM7 don't support this phone. I have installed ClockWorkMod and it looks really rare in this phone, It don't have the options to backup, restore y install a zip.
So I come here asking you guys if there is a form of getting Gingerbread to this phone and How I can do it?
Thanks!
How did you install cwm
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
I think I installed it using Rom Manager, but It dont installed.
I just want to know how I can install a gingerbread on this Galaxy S 4G
Rom manager does not work with sgs4g. Go to dev section and find the thread cwm final by krylon360. That is how to get cwm recovery working.

I was rooted....then I did the LG update and flashed Stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread. I wanna go back to Weapon, but RomManager is not opening. Did the update unroot my phone??

LG and almost every other phone manufacturer or service provide don't send out rooted updates. So yes, your phone is no longer rooted.

Ok, thanks. I know what I'll be doing when I get home from work later.

Superoneclick doesn't work on Gingerbread, I believe. Try flashing a custom recovery from NVFlash.

Is it possible for LG to know if the phone was rooted?

I've been doing a little bit of reading, and I keep seeing that the G2x Gingerbread 2.3.3 can't be rooted yet? Is this true?

No that's false. Nvflash clockwork and flash the root zip. It will root gingerbread

Make sure you have USB debugging checked under apps/development, that's one cause for superoneclick freezing if I remember right.

Install the pre-rooted rom listed in the dev section. Really is no use in rooting when Samsung lets use flash the phone with custom roms via odin.
Bhundven's One-Clicks in the Dev section are excellent. All are based on KJ6 and two are already rooted.

Most of the ROMs in the dev section are rooted. What ROM are you currently running?
EDIT: It says above you are on GB 2.3.6. If you are - SuperOneClick V2.3.3 will work. Go to this thread, read the OP - all of it - hell watch the video if you need to, then go here and download the current version. And lastly be patient while it is running.
You can also read this thread for EASY ways to flash kernels once rooted and get on custom ROMs.
I encourage you to READ THE WIKI BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE!

So I'm wondering if there is an easy way to root from the phone? Or any way for that matter. I'm on a cappy with stock 2.3.5 and wow it sucks. Its my wife's phone as I soft bricked my phone trying to flash helly bean over firefly 3.0. I'm guessing I didn't have the gb bootloaders. Though with this phone I do have them and should be able to easily flash helly bean with no problems once its rooted and I flash the proper kernal.

I always go to 4-2ndtwin's helpful links in his signature and use either Odin or Heimdall to install a kernel that will allow you to flash roms. Then you can just boot into recovery and flash.
I think there is a mobile odin on the market.
Ill look for mobile Odin.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
Odin requires root. Is there a way to root from the phone?

No, you dont need root to use odin. Make sure you read up and find instructions. Flash a kernel with root and apply via CWM and there you go.

Mobile Odin does require Root.
And nope, no way to Root just from phone.
But there is no need to get Root if u r just gonna flash a Rom anyway. U will however need to use Odin or Heimdall to flash a kernel with the CWM Recovery baked in. (i recommend KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A ). Once u have flashed that kernel, just use button combo to reboot into cwm and then install ur Rom of choice that u should have already copied on ur phone. Success :thumbup:
