So, here's my story. I am trying to gain root access to my Galaxy S II Skyrocket. I see a lot of posts/replies of other people having success with SuperOneClick 2.2 using the zerg exploit but for some reason mine just hangs and doesn't go any further. To kind of backtrack, I was able to root my first Galaxy S II Skyrocket, but then I had charging issues so I exchanged it for a replacement. Now, the replacement will not root. And even with the first one I had a hard time gaining root. It took me several, several attempts to get it working. I don't understand what I'm missing. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Few things...
- Samsung Galaxy S II is currently on stock 2.3.5 with firmware UCKJ2
- USB debugging has been turned on
- Samsung USB drivers have been successfully installed on PC
- Using Windows XP
- Using SuperOneClick 2.2 with zerg exploit
- Tried uninstalling USB drivers and reinstalling
The status one the SuperOneClick is as follows...
Killing ADB server
Starting ADB server
Waiting for device...
That's it. Nothing else beyond that. And on the right hand side it indicates this...
It's keep stating that 'daemon not running... starting in now on port 5037' and it keeps looping and eventually does not move.
I've tried using different methods of rooting this such as Skyrocket-Easy-Root and Doom's EasyRoot 1.0 and the 'daemon not running... starting it now on port 5037' message occurs on those as well.
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON because the regular Samsung Galaxy S II and other devices go through just fine. I know it can be done because obviously other users are successful with root and I was too with my first Skyrocket.
The only advice that "I" can give you is to post in the correct forum. You'll likely get a much quicker response than posting in the development section. I'm sure there's someone over there willing to help you. Good luck my friend.

Use this method ..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526
You use odin to flash cwm recovery tar......then flash the super user zip in cwm.....
The files needed and instructions are in that thread....read them carefully, and follow them exactly ....its really very easy
Try to do factory wipe again. I was having problem rooting after Odin. I did a factory wipe and www tried it and it worked.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do THIS. I'm not sure why you were even trying all that other stuff, but this is the proper root and CWM installation method.
OK so a while ago I rooted my friends rogers infuse with super one click. We then tried to flash a custom kernel on it but at the time I was a huge noob and bricked it and couldn't get it back to a working state. He only had the phone for a week so we suckered rogers into giving him a new one. Since then I've learned alot and managed to install custom roms on my i9000 sucsessfully. But now when I go to root his infuse with super one click it won't work. When he got his new phone after i bricked the the other one they hooked the phone up to there computer and did something. Is it possible that they blocked root somehow? That said would it be safe to flash infused kernel onto the phone through Odin?

Search threads.
One-click shouldn't be used for rooting the Rogers Infuse as it is running Gingerbread. There is a specific way of rooting the Rogers version (involves Odin). From what I know, one-click is just for the AT&T (2.2 Froyo) version.
Good luck!

Ya that's what I read everywhere but I actually got it to root through super one click. I haven't been able to do it again. Needless to say I still fixed my problem. I would plug the phone in and Odin would recognize it and then it would say it disconnected. Then it would say the device malfunctioned. What fixed it for me is I flashed my friends girlfriends infuse first cause it was having no issues(still her first one never been tampered with by rogers like the other one was). And then his worked just fine. Flashed kernel got cwm and installed zeus. Of course after I hard bricked it by flashing froyo based kernel then tried to fix it with a gb kernel and encountered a problem while updating firmware. Got to love back to stock guides!

My stock kernal is BVLPB(Orange branded) I did use a matching cf-root kernal.
Can anyone PLEASE help me totally gutted......
I actually stumbled into the same situation as you when I was rooting my friend's sg2. I used this thread to get me out of code red: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348. It worked on my second try.
Alright, so I got a Samsung Galaxy S II LTE I9210, and I want to root it.
This is not the right section of the forum, I know, but its the closest to my device, so meh.
Don't tell me to go search around the forums and google because they are all outdated and I looked through all of them before posting.
All the other posts state that the method out there will break the soft key functions, and that is pretty bad.
Is there any finalized way to do it without the chance of breaking the functionality of the softkeys?
As well as OTA updates, I want to know if there is any ICS builds for this phone released. Where I live, even if you don't have a modified phone/rooted phone, you will not get any OTA updates, any way to find out if you can get the ICS update?
Thanks,
Nicholas
I used the super oneclick and it worked fine.

What specs were you running on?
Android Version? I9210 (not telstra I9210T)? Can you post instructions for me please?
Our device and yours have nothing in common, the samsung galaxy s2 is closer, our chipets are different (exynos vs qualcomm)
With that said the latest version of one click does root your phone without issue.
No we use the same processor. We both use Qualcomm.
I'm not sure whether everything is the same, but people using the I9210T variant can flash Skyrocket and I727 ROMs.
You sure I can just download the latest SuperOneClick and click Root, and root without the soft key problem?
Also, what shall I do about the recovery portion? Because I actually prefer having a nandroid backup of my ROM without Root first. Can you just install ROM Manager and flash a ROM like that? Usually when people get the soft key problem, they will flash the original non-rooted nandroid's boot.img file into their current ROM and it will re-enable the soft keys.
Lastly, by doing it in SuperOneClick, it will not trigger the flash counter am I correct?
Thanks for taking time to answer these questions.
Look here and read carefully

Yeah thanks for your reply.
I already got my phone rooted using the Skyrocket rooting procedure.
I pretty much needed to flash a custom recovery so i can nandroid backup my ROM before a direct root yet.
Thanks all for your help
So basically, I used this to root:

as the translation wasn't properly translated, I followed the instructions here:

Did a full nandroid backup before installing the SuperSU package in CWM.
Everything works, softkeys all work, no triangle at boot, no binary counter trigger. Everything's good.
It worked on my phone with specs:
Samsung Galaxy S II LTE - GT-I9210
Android Version: 2.3.6
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.ZHLD2
Baseband Version: I9210ZHLD2
If your soft key functions break AFTER flashing the superuser.zip or SuperSU package, restore your boot from your nandroid backup! THIS IS WHY YOU NEED A NANDROID BACKUP OF YOUR PHONE WHEN IT ISN'T ROOTED YET!
CWM Recovery -> Backup/Restore -> Advanced Restore -> Choose your Nandroid Backup Date -> Restore Boot -> Reboot, then reboot AGAIN after successful boot.
Hi,
Ive been scouring the forums and I have the GT-I9210T telstra variant. Will these rooting methods work on my telstra variant?
the baseband version is I9210TDVLD1 and the build number is GINGERBREAD.DLVD1
This is my frist android phone and I really want stock ICS installed, telstra promises its only a few months away, but I want the benefits of rooting your phone also
I'm having some troubles re-rooting
Okay, I rooted my phone about a month ago and put the leaked Stock SGSII: Skyrocket ROM on it and when I did it completely wiped my phone, took my root off and everything, but I still have the ROM, I tried to re-root my phone with the same superoneclick that I did before, But it wont work, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I never used a superoneclick...but I did follow this thread....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565126
I've done this for each of the 3 ICS leaks so far and each time it works without issue.
Note you may get the hang on "power-off" or "restart" If you do, flash CWM Touch and that will fix it.
I've been trying for a week to root my LG viper and nothing has worked. I originally used the Bin4ry method to root ICS but the other day Sprint rolled out an OTA and it un-rooted my phone. I've literally tried every method I can find and nothing works. Every time I get the same message like in the picture in the attachment. Can someone help me? I've tried superoneclick, one click root, the bin4ry method, I've also tried installing a custom recovery through ROM manager and several other ways and I get the same result? This is driving me crazy because almost half of my apps require root access and now they are useless!
