Found soloution ....!!!!
Found this thread ...h-t-t-p-://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f606/samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100p-how-root-1523311
unable to link ????
SO
downloaded CF-ROOT frm h-t-t-p://download.chainfire.eu/55/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_INU_KL1-v5.0-CWM5.zip
Extracted .tar and used ODIN (pda) to flash it .... easy !!!
this gives the CWM app which because i already had superuser installed from previous attempts was a bit glitchy but after a few mins and opening superuser root access was granted to CWM and app and it is now working fine
I believe its now rooted :victory:
Hope this helps
I plan to sim unlock this orange (uk) phone any suggestions welcome
will post findings here
Thanks to those in the kno and a great community....:good:

now unlocked
I Really hope this helps some1 else this is all out there iv just posted what has worked for this orange galaxys2
dialed *#7465625# and my phone was Network locked all other locks were off
first i tried SGS2SIMUnlockCode-v1.0.apk (Gooogle for it ...i did..) no luck... reported code not found
secondly i tried GalaxySUnlock.apk i downloaded frm h-t-t-p://androiddev.orkitra.com/download/apps/?appid=-2766308732498045779&download=com.helroz.galaxysunlock_v3.01
(sorry cant link)
It worked a treat redialed *#simlock# and hey presto no network lock, also gives a EFS back up (handy)
Reception seems low but will kno more when i get out and about 2mrw
If this helped hit thanks pls
again a big thanks to XDA ,all in the kno and those doin the do:good::good::good:

Follw up
F.Y.I
Phone is working fine and has had full/good signal all day
As for all the previous attempts to root phone i now believe that i maybe did not have the drivers setup correctly..!
I did download ADB drivers for my phone but i also installed KIES
I noticed that although I had the Android phone /w ADB interface in device manager
I am NOT sure if I had the Samsung USB composite device (thingy) as well... this i have read about in another thread
So while in ADB mode i was unable to gain access to the SD card or internal volume ..???
and most of the failures were reported as write errors or the programs just hung
This is just an after thought but maybe the reason I had so much trouble
I can no longer check this theory as it has now gone back to my friend
so if you are doing as I did check this out and it might be alot easier than it was for me :good:
This maybe completely wrong also..??? someone might comment who has had success were I failed.?
if there are any questions about this Thread i will be happy to answer any and all PM's
(im no expert but have rooted/unlocked and jailbroken/unlocked many phones)
and thats yet another paperweight turned into phone (imei style)
this could not be done however without all of the advice out there this was such a tricky one i thought i would put this info all in 1place
but real thanks goes to the many people doing there thing (donate coz i did if i made a few quid)
i just follow instructions

Hi I'm trying it I get a window says missing driver
Samsung android usb device, acm, CDC acm data
what's that mean?
you are missing the drivers you need to install to get debugging mode to work. What i did was manually install the drivers.
But instead try installing these drivers from the link below. before you install this make sure you unplug your phone first, then install the drivers, then plug your phone back in.
If that works just run SuperOneClick like the guide i posted above

First of all, rtfm before using Google devices.
Search for external antennas on ebay in case you have flashed /removed baseband/radio side of your rom. Be careful that you are exactly searching antenna for your Nexus S, not for any other devices.
Last thing i would advice is, rtfm...
i ll never been a douchebag!
i reckon i should flash the radio suc as xxkk6 or like that, hovewer i have no idea how to do that, would anyone help me please ?
I work out this crappy problem!
Thanks dear developers:
we did this problem with dear fanno,i didnt search any external antenna from ebay but he gave me a some special software and we did it, u can tell us if u have same problem about ur baseband or imei !!
Thank you MR.fanno !!
is anybody need help? tell me !!! i am the junior developer
Unfortunately my nexus s turned into nexus ass !!!! However thanks for your helps, u r so hospitable !!!

[HELP] Looking for Stock Rom for Alcatel OT-983

Hello, and hope this is the right place to post this.
So, without any knowledge about all this smatphone/android stuff, I finally got one by a really good price. An ot-983.
Some friends conviced me to root it. I found a way to do it and noticing all the bloatware from it's original carrier (this phone was carrier unlocked when bought) I decided to clean up a bit.
I ended up cleaning a lot of stuff that I simply didn't use from a \custapp\ folder in there.
Thing is, a day latter I got a notification of a firmware update and I just said yes.
The said update failed, complaining it seems about the lack of some of the deleted bloatware.
Now, here's when the lack of thinking shows.
Wondering about it, I decided to look around options and found the factory reset.
Being a new and mostly empty phone, I did it (wiped clean the sd too),
And there, it went all into hell!
After reboot, it can't get my wireless anymore (have to use a static ip workaround for it...)
Root Checker says it's not properly rooted (using the same rooting technique as the first time doesn't fix it)
superuser still seems to be working, altho it crashes now and then with some errors about permissions.
also, can't get BusyBox working because it says there's no su binary and I can't download an update for it.
In short, I guess I need to get this phone to it's basics, if possible unbranded.
I don't really know what I need for that, but here I am, reaching at you that might help
I guess I need a stock rom and a way to flash it.
I'd appreciate a lot any help on getting whatever it is needed.
*cheers

I simply downloaded the drivers from alcatel website
and then used the root package from here: <can't post outside links. it's a thread on error-soft dot net
Followed the instructions on the .txt included and it worked.
After that I think I had to install Superuser app (from live store)
be careful. My problems came from deleting some stock apps included and then doing a firmware update.
so, don't delete stuff around if you're thinking in doing the upgrade.

Where did you get the upgrade from ?
My story is like this: rooted, uninstalled some bloat from system and after a factory reset I'm stuck in the initial setup wizard (after completing almost all stages from setup it crashes at the end, after connecting at the google account - tryed to ignore that step but either way it crashes). Fastboot works but adb don't.
I do have another identical phone Alcatel One Touch OT-983 but with no root, with no modifications. Is there a way to backup the original/stock image and flash it over the malfunctioning one and restore it??
I tried with the proprietary upgrade tool from Alcatel but no succes as it close saying I don't need an upgrade because it's the last version of software installed in my phone. I thought even to broke intentionally the rom but I'm afraid that the upgrade utility from Alcatel will let me down, as I read that another users didn't managed to complete successfully the upgrading process. Is there a way to trick the system that has a previous version of Android?
Thank you for taking your time to read this and hope someone has an idea to solve our problem.
Have a nice day guys, you can contact me at puiocku at gmail dot com.

I recently "semi bricked", if my Alcatel OT983, if that's possible. It would not boot fully and got stuck on the "jrdsetupwizard has stopped" screen.
Here's what I did. The issue with getting the Alcatel One Touch Upgrade software to work appears to be getting the correct USB Driver installed. There are a number of potential USB drivers. This phone needs the driver in the Alcatel One Touch Upgrade. The stock Windows one or the one used for rooting the phone using instructions from the errorsoft website from the oneofgod will not work with this upgrade procedure.
1. Download the Alcatel One Touch Upgrade software and install on your machine. Open up the folder where the software is installed.
Look inside the folder that is called USB Driver and look inside the appropriate folder for your type of Windows machine 64bit or 32bit (x86) and install that driver for USB - that is the correct one for the upgrade
2. Run the upgrade software whilst connected to the internet. Connect your phone when it is off. You should just get the Android icon i.e. not charging or anything else. The icon should just stay there all the time the process takes place.
3. The upgrade will download. It's when the process gets to about 70% that the phone the starts upgrading. It will take a few moments but when it starts progressing into the late 70s and 80s you should be well on the way. At least that's how it went for me and I got my phone back!
Hope this helps.

Tanks for share the ROM.. I need it to recover my friends phone..
I just got this phone, not looking to root it yet as theres no option for a custom rom yet.
didnt want to start a new thread as theres not really any section for this phone yet.
Everything was fine until i installed the firmware update. Now applications cannot access the mic. Some complain about it being in use by another app. others like video editor or sound recorder will record, but the video recorder there is no file, and sound recorder crashes when you hit stop.
Alcatels website is useless, wasnt working yesterday, today it is but cant find any contact details incase its a bug in there firmware. Everything works fine except for that. Which is annoying because i use RTA software and now it doesnt as it cant access the mic.
any ideas?
Hi guys,
I've rooted my phone with abd and udpate.zip a long time ago, and it was fine till some days ago it stopped from receiving calls and the home button does nothing when pressed, although in recovey mode it works.
I've done a hard reset, reflashed the recovery.img, system.img and boot.img I've found in this post with fasboot, but did not solve the problem.
I've tried a firmware update with Alcatel's own software but it just keeps saying my firmware is updated already. I've also tried to edit the proinfo file, but I don't know what to change in the file. You can see more about that method here: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/9772370-post8.html
My guess is that the files that are corrupted and preventing me from receiving calls are somewhere else than those img's I've flashed. Has anybody got a FULL backup of his rom (e.g. Rom Manager) so I can recover the phone completely?
Thanks!

[Q] Rooting an LG Venice

Before anyone tells me to use the search, I already did. There is no forum for my phone specifically, and what few posts I have found that even remotely relate to my issue have been dead for over 3 months and I was not sure how you felt about resurrecting them.
Phone info: LG Venice (LG-LG730), Carrier: Boost Mobile, OS: Android 4.0.4
What I have done so far: I was on another help site(so far not so helpful) and several people have reported success in rooting their Venice following THIS tutorial. I have had no luck following said tutorial. Every time I get to the part where it shows the "restore, yes or no" part (can be found at 13:50 in the video tutorial), and when I click yes to restore, the phone says "starting restore.... restore finished" or something similar, but never actually reboots, and nothing shows up in the CMD window. Now I know that I have never set any encryption passwords, and I verified that these options were turned off in the phone settings.
I have also tried Super One Click, for what its worth, and keep getting stuck on "step 7: waiting for device"
If anyone has any information on how I can easily root this phone, I would be most appreciative. I say "easy" way because I AM totally new to rooting and I don't want mess something up. I apologize ahead of time if I posted this in the wrong area.
Thank you in advance.

FWIW I just rooted both my and my wife's LG Venice phones.
I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 and then method 3 instead of 1 which has worked for others.
android 4.0.4
kernel 3.0.8
build IMM76L
software LG730ZV5
I did try method 1 first and it may be that the two need to be stacked for all I know at present, I will be resetting one phone to factory and trying fresh with method 3 as soon as her 8g SD is ready to go.
I've tried using different versions of Bin4ry's root and none of them work. Im running 4.0.4

On a friends phone, also a Venice (boostmobile) we had some insanity as described below.
The final root check stalled, and we finally stopped the script that was waiting for something for most of a day.
A quick check from the ADB said we had root, and I could get the # prompt and do what I wanted, see the supersu and busybox from the rooting, etc..
Two reboots later, after adding titanium backup, supersu, and stericson-busybox from the play store (or what ever the name is today) everything went swimmingly, and even the problems I had noticed with some audio and video codecs not working had resolved themselves.
I am not sure what version of the rooter from bin4ry we used on mine and my wife's, but on our friend's we used the newest at the time he downloaded which was v25
Alright, i'll try it out. Thank you
You wouldn't by chance have the file on hand would you? I can't seem to find v25

Root Issues Lg 730
:cyclops: Hi XDA... I have an issue also with the Lg730 Venice or (Sol) I have a repeat client that is always coming up with new phones, and keeps me busy rooting, custom flashing, (in general Modding) all his little toys.. I rooted his Lg 730 last yr with adb (Ubuntu12.04) by using the usual push/mount/chmod/install.. This system has worked for me many times, including but not limited to Clone S3's , Clones S2(Chinese) Droids of all flavors, yet with this New OTA 4.1.2 my client lost the previoius Root (I did not flash CustomRom at that time) . I have SERIOUSLY ,tried every method that I know of. Binary's(thanks Binary) which i have used a few times(Donator here) does not seem to work this time. GingerBreak/Psneuter/Fastboot/Rageagainsthecage/Odin/Heimdall (yes i even tried Samsung designs) Nothing works on this new OTA for me. Upgraded to RaringRingtail thinking i was out of date , to my dismay Nothing... I cannot get Root. Fastboot does not pickup device(all drivers in place(Ubuntu/Windows) My biggest challenge ever. I BOUGHT this phone (not because i like it) but for personal reasons. There is limited support for this device. I would like those who read this forum to know, that I AM going to dedicate my spare TIME on the Lg730 Venice from this day on. I have reset BoostMobile Factory settings , taken the stock boot.img , pulled the system, , rooted it, busybox'd it, with run support, zipaligned, added a couple of my favorite apk's,changed the bootanimation, zipped it,(7zip)... Essentially STOCK, with ROOT... I cannot run this on my Device(NO ROOT) but if any1 is interested its ready for flashing... I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOU DEVICE... I will speak to a Moderator before i post link so as to get XDA Forum rules advice first. I take no credit , and i give it all (J.Rummy) (Chainfire)(XDA Developers)(Dsixda)(Koushik Dutta)(Exploid-Crew)for without them many things could not be possible....

I do not have it on hand, and we both semi-accidentally OTA upgraded to jellybean when the prompts got too annoying and lost root all together.
IF you manage to achieve root, best to use OTA rootkeeper BEFORE you upgrade, looks like now I have to use kdz tools and downgrade to v5, root, rootkeeper, and hope I can keep root :/

I would be interested in your theory cyclops. Possibly even in using yours over mine.
I am currently playing with doing much the same thing on a .cab formatted ROM then using the KDZ tool to push the modified v8 ROM (Jelly Bean 4.1.2) and pray I am good as I was when I was a kid
LG730 Venice
Unfortunately i have been unsucessful in Rooting this LG. Very frustrating.. I hope you achieve your goal. Best wishes.... I have also provided an email i can be contacted at directly [email protected] If this helps, and if you are able to sideload, or able to flash its ready to go.
.EDITING EDITING
Sucessfully rooted LG Venice 730 today ...... Whoo Hooo......... Flash regess from JB ZV8 to ZV5 or 6 with KDZ tools........ Rooted with Binary's new v31 and ran #1.... Remember to put Binary's root method on Root of C: drive. open command prompt c:.\RunMe and follow instructions....... Unfortunately I am unable to flash roms or mods due to ootloader Lock??????????
Its a pity .... 1 downfall after another......... Cant get past it .... Bootstrap or Safestrap maybe ??????/Any suggestions ?????
Rooting instructions

Before anyone tells me to use the search, I already did. There is no forum for my phone specifically, and what few posts I have found that even remotely relate to my issue have been dead for over 3 months and I was not sure how you felt about resurrecting them.
Phone info: LG Venice (LG-LG730), Carrier: Boost Mobile, OS: Android 4.0.4
What I have done so far: I was on another help site(so far not so helpful) and several people have reported success in rooting their Venice following THIS tutorial. I have had no luck following said tutorial. Every time I get to the part where it shows the "restore, yes or no" part (can be found at 13:50 in the video tutorial), and when I click yes to restore, the phone says "starting restore.... restore finished" or something similar, but never actually reboots, and nothing shows up in the CMD window. Now I know that I have never set any encryption passwords, and I verified that these options were turned off in the phone settings.
I have also tried Super One Click, for what its worth, and keep getting stuck on "step 7: waiting for device"
If anyone has any information on how I can easily root this phone, I would be most appreciative. I say "easy" way because I AM totally new to rooting and I don't want mess something up. I apologize ahead of time if I posted this in the wrong area.
Thank you in advance.

I have tried to use this page/post to root my LG 730 Venice (Android 4.1.2 Software LG 730ZV8). I have downloaded & installed everything but keep getting ERROR messages at the end. Does anyone have detailed instructions on how to install/use bin4ry v31.zip ??
I am almost sure that it would eliminate these errors. I have been using Linux now for over 10 years and this process should be child's play.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Not much info to go on Mike , but here goes, first but not least...... LG730ZV8 package is not rootable.... You need to first downgrade from the LG730ZV8 to LG730ZV5 using LG Tool 500 method... (.cab format from here--> ) http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LG730/ABMUSV/LG730ZV5_01/LG730ZV5_01.S5_00.P61009.cab ... Follow instructions to the letter, and do not miss any steps....... I think its an easier way using the tools but if your a DIY kinda guy , the KDZ method is a little more complex , but rewarding in the end , more so than The 500 Tool simply said , because if your a little like me, i flash many different OS's for the fun of it, and the KDZ method will truely always work when the Tool wont..... Now the KDZ method you can find Here --------------->----------->---------------------->-----------------------------------------------------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236.... If you have any problems or questions give4 a shout and i will try to guide you through it ...... Good luck Mike
Ps...... The trick to getting Binary's Root method to work is to put it on Root (c:\Binary.... etc...etc ) go to file press shift and right click to open cmd prompt... Type c:\RunMe ... Choose method #1 restore twice ,reboot 3x and Rooted..

I went into the folder that I extracted the bin4ry file download to and found two other folders:stuff and z_rootkit.. Inside the "stuff" folder I found abd.exe & dlls, busybox, fastboot, glass, install recovery, root me.tar (Linux), rootkittablet.tar.gz Linux), su and superuser.apk.. Now some of the ERROR messages had references to ABD and missing .dlls which were apparently not installed. This where I believe this prog hung up but I have no idea why.
The other folder "z_rootkit" had getroot scripts (.sh) and usbux.ab. I am guessing but I am assuming these might be needed too.
When I extracted to folder bin4ry, there were no other instructions to install from these folders.
This why I was asking for an install instruction file to get all this done.
Hope this helps in the solution !!
Hi Mike ...:cyclops: This will help you out..... You have the right package I believe.. Not sure why its giving you the dll errors... that could possibly be SDK or ADB not installed correctly via path to directory... Check it. Possibly deprecated download file. Too many too list in Windows... Gotta love Ubuntu........ Try downloading Binary's Root by Restore again... open downloads , -> drag n drop file to local c (root) set permissions-> Unzip it . open File . press shift on keyboard while also right clicking pointer, and it will bring up command prompt . Type ( .\RunMe ) in prompt...... When it opens select # (1) follow prompts to Backup---> Restore---> ADB will reboot ---once----twice and android will upgrade ... Let it finish. (3) Third reboot pull plug ---> grant permissions to Superuser or SuperSU on popup... Rooted.... I am assuming you downgraded to LG730ZV5 or LG730ZV6 already....... if there are any problems , or if you have questions let me know......
What to download ??

Just got everything cleaned up and am now ready to do this thing. Went to KDZ but don't know which prog to download plus I don't have B2C on my LG730.
Please let me know where I might find everything I will need to get it done.
Thanks
Progress Rooting LGE 730
I wish someone would teach all the Windows people that they are dealing with a MF trash bin OS. I have been fighting Win Updates. getting MS Active Sync installed etc. I have never in my life seen such idioatic crap in my life, There HAS TO BE AN EASIER way to root an LGE 730 (Venice) phone. If someone has such info please let me know because using the KDZ method is maniacal at best, I am ready to trash this piece of CR** phone. It CANNOT BE THIS TOUGH TO DO !

1. I downloaded FRAMAROOT,, tried boromir and faramir .... got "Failed try another exploit if available" then tried barahir and I succeeded
From here its all a blur
2. I downloaded root checker from google play store and checked if my device is rooted and it gave me an yes
3.Then as i found on internet, i went to install cmw or twrp .... i downloaded mobile uncle app .... went for recovery update in it .... but there were lot of recover files in remote .... didnt know which one to select .... selected which was on the top,, but then again i went on internet and as guided by someone .... i downloaded his "recovery.img" and i booted with that i guess
4.As i switched my phone on .... doesnt matter how hard i try .... my sim isnt getting detected!!
Internet is working fine cause of wi-fi actually everything is working like charm except my sim!!
5. The only thing i did was uninstall some of the preinstalled useless apps since i cant even make a phone call now!!
can someone please pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee help me!!
I'm in like desperate need of help and its fine even if someone can guide me to get my old phone back
