Hi i just got my new galaxy s 2 its running android version2.3.3 gingerbread version I9100BVKG2 what do i need to root this phone if someone could please help me.Im very new to android i used to be iphone user but jumped ship any help please

i thought gs2 already rooted by default and you can install any compatible rom straightly.
please refer to sgs2 thread.

So my phone is already rooted

Hey pnr2020...you better high-tail it on outta here!!! This particular forum reads..."No noobs!" and "no device-specific questions". As a fellow noob who has stumbled on his .... here near hamburg in the German droid forums, these guys mean business! Go watch one episode of Dexter! Be scared...be very scared! Meet you in Noobland where we belong!
There are really smart superusers here who, in a fit of either generosity or self-hate, troll the noob section, take lots of aspirin, and answer our classic noob questions like, "If my phone is already rooted, should i wait till fall to pull it out?"

sorry dont want to piss people off where do i post then

[Q] Just bought an OTAed phone from CL, which root method for root, s-off, and etc?

Hi Guys,
I just bought an Inspire off of Craigslist. The guys said he had updated or OTAed the phone. I wanted to know which root method or guide should I use for root, s-off, and even sim-unlock, if possible?
Here's the info on it:
Android Version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense Version: 2.1
Build Number: 2.47.502.7 CL93396 release-keys
Software Number: 2.47.502.7
What is the best, easiest method to get this bad boy rooted ? Thanks for your help!

I used the Ace Hack Kit and was rooted in under 15 minutes. Just make sure to read and follow the directions.

Hack Kit Thread - this is the only option available to root the GB OTA update
Make sure you read the effen manual, a few times. attn1 has made the process almost idiot proof, but if you run into issues you can hop in their IRC from the link in the OP of that thread

Folks, thanks for your responses, I appreciate your help.
I am not new to Android, been a proud owner of the DInc, EVO 4G, HD2 w/ Android on NAND, EVO 3D, and now the Inspire 4G. In all of those other communities and rooting methods, apparently builds and versions of Android mattered, and appropriate tools remedied the appropriate versions, thus I asked.
So please, there is no need to be upset. I didn't ask HOW TO Root, I asked what solution to use, cause apparently in the stickies, I saw two.
Thanks for the warm welcome, please look forward to more questions and thanks for supporting the community!

Welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay. The Inspire is a great device, I'm sure you'll love it as much as we do.
FWIW, I too get sick of the snarky, self righteous responses ppl make to a question.

[Q]Samsung Galaxy S One Click Root

Hi,
My name is Dustin and I'm new to the forum. I've read the requirements and what the community would like (please do not post something that may have been already be posted, so take the time to find it if possible).
I would like to say that this community is very clean, as the threads and placement of items are very nice and clean.
Alright, so straight to the point
I am using the SuperOneClick.
I'm using a Samsung Captivate from Rogers, trying to Root and all.
After I get to STEP #7 it just lose responding.
Any ideas ??
Thanks in advance..

Question about porting a rom

Sorry in advance if this should be in Q&A (mod please move if inappropriate) but my question has to do with development so....
Anyway.. was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of any guides or helpful threads that would help teach me how to port a rom. I am wanting to start to learn how to make custom ROMS and figured this would be a good place to start as the heavy lifting has already been done by the real devs...
Specifically looking to port lets say a nexus S rom for use with the NS4g for now.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

I was wondering the same thing. It seems like so much good is coming from the Nexus S section, that I would like to help bring it to the 4g side.

Yes, I know. Me too as well, but there's no guides on porting or I just can't find any. If anyone knows any guides on porting, point us fellows in that direction. thanks!

Man... kinda sux... no one can help at all?

First, this belongs in Q & A, hence no answer , second, it should be pretty easy, nandroid, switch out rild, and rils, make correct edits to build prop, and a kernel for ns4g and you should be good to go.

Are there any guides out there that perhaps detail this process a little bit, I would like to start porting some ns roms over to ns4g. I followed the steps provided by the previous post, and got most everything booting for the new miui rom with ICS however the wifi still doesn't work and it will not allow me to flash a different kernel as afterwards it refuses to boot. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[Q] Want to learn to Port ROMs from Vibrant to the SGS4G!

The Rom that i would like to learn to port is the Rom from Neobuddy, which is an ICS port to the vibrant! Can I get a Dev, or two or three to help me to learn to do this please? (RaverX3X, Whitehawkx, Krylon.......The Super Devs! lol)
Thank you in advance!
Eric, and Thomas....

They're not going to use their time to teach you how to port if you don't already know the basics, they're all working on their own projects. My advice would be to learn how to do it yourself using Google. There are plenty of ROM porting guides out there, but porting ICS to this phone might be a little out of your league for now.

Wouldnt it be easier to port from an epic 4g aswell ?? i think its a more similar phone id start by just looking at any piece of info on porting thats out there
Check out this link and google the hell out of porting and find many guides like this one.. This one is well written from what i have read. http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/porting-android

This will help you with porting a vibrant ROM to the SGS4G, but I don't think it will be useful for ICS. From what I have read, we don't have a true ICS ROM (support) yet.

Does the epic 4g have the 16gb internel sdcard like Cappy and Vibrant? Or is it formatted like the SGS4G and use the externel sdcard?

Im pretty sure its the closest thing to a SGS4g right now.. also for porting vibrant this was posted in our forums a long long time ago.. i don't think anyone has successfully used it yet.
