I rooted my G-9100I by just installing one .zip via original bootloader/installer (without flashing any CWM / bootloader via odin, heimdall, counter +1, whatever)
Now I'm wondering if there's any way doing it with the GT-P3100
I think the problem is that the install file has to have a valid signature...
So is there a (valid signed) single "root file" for the GT-P3100? (Using original stock rom 4.1.1)
All files I found so far have invalid signatures :crying:

Hi Brad... thx 4 reply
this file (CF-Auto-Root-espressorf-espressorfxx-gtp3100.zip) is based on a custom bootloader (wich has to be installed by Odin) and will increase the flashcounter as well...

Hey, check out my thread on rooting tab 2. It uses cf autoroot but the good thing is that i have the instructions there on how to reset the flash counter to zero after flashing and keeping your warranty safe.

Hey Kunal thx for the hint but I want to keep the original bootloader - there must be a way to sign the paket so you don't need to update the loader
it is not possible to root p3100 without flashing,odin,raising flash counter
as to root first you got to
1.flash cwm recovery and them root
2.directly flash root package
3.flash pre rooted firmware
everything offer flashing.
its like flashing firmware without using any odin mobile one or pc one
so
what's the big deal flash cf auto root and use triangle away to reset.
i wanted one too

well not that odin and then triangle away is bad, but i have to say it's unsafe and trying to get the drivers installed and working is a real pain.
I too rooted my friend's sgs2 with the same way as c-tec, and i must say that was the best experience of rooting ever. not even 10 seconds and its so easy and u dont lose ur warranty...
so I think that if there isn't one, there should be one....
well another way to not lose ur warranty and be rooted
there were some pre rooted stock roms(4.1.x) in the forum somewhere with wipe and no wipe option( for many countries), they could be flashed via odin.
that's the best way to avoid using triangle away and be rooted(at least what i could find).
then if u like custom roms then use rom manager to flash cwm and u r good to go for custom roms without actually increasing the flash counter.
Cheers
right...

Right a1shakes - that's my point - maybe I try that modyfied stock rom (later) ...
but I'm still impressed by that single file (for SGS2) - I also tried those On-Click Tools via ADB - but it seems that those exploits only work on 4.0.4 roms for the P3100.
I will get back to this post if I found another way

If you are flashing a pre-rooted official firmware with odin, it too increases the flash counter on the tablet.

Thanks Silver, perhaps I was not being complete in my question? I know that there are both, but my question was specifically related to rooting. In his post " *Put the Superuser .zip file on your internal SD" from these instructions" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311194".
I think it means that you put the. Zip file on the phones internal memory & NOT the removable SD card?
Yes you are correct sir
Thanks SILVER.... it just seemed a little ambiguous, and for a noob, that could be dangerous. ...you were "thanked" .
Uhm, on Melvin's post of Oct 19th...he says to put the Superuser zip on the INTERNAL SD....BUT on Copperhed's post of Nov 10th....he says to put the Superuser file on the EXTERNAL SD? I would imagine that there is something important about where it is located on the phone?
I was pretty sure that I was not losing my mind, I just had to find where I saw the discrepancy

The GS2 doesn't support booting recoveries via fastboot, so the only way to root (short of using a rooting tool) is to install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM via Odin, and then root the system from within the recovery. You can restore the stock recovery if you want, but I don't know of any other clean methods to root.
Also, you are aware that there is an official (Samsung provided) Jelly Bean ROM for the GS2, right? While that doesn't get you "up to date", it at least gets you on a 4.x stream, which will dramatically improve app support on the Play Store.

There may be a way to install a pre-rooted image from Odin, but most folks do it from a recovery. Fortunately, if you can figure out how to just install the recovery, it will be able to root whatever you have installed, and is a heck of a lot safer than messing with the OS image. Unfortunately, how that happens depends on the recovery, but in most cases it will over you the option to fix the su binary when you reboot.
I won't repeat the steps here, as there are several guides for installing recoveries via ODIN. I will point you to the TWRP repository, however -> https://dl.twrp.me/skyrocket/
So let me get this straight, if I flash a normal stock Rom from a recovery it will automatically root it? What is a recovery? Is that the same thing as download mode? I'll try to find a thread, but of course if u could post a the ad link I would appreciate it.

Update will remove root and will fail if you have CWM installed, it requires stock recovery to apply (this is of course if you go the official update route).
Return to stock recovery
So how do I return to stock recovery from cwm? I'm not so concerned about this update, but I'd like to use stock ics when it comes out. ( keeping root, of course)

Flash stock recovery with ODIN, make sure there is not a kernel in the .tar or the flash counter will trip.

If you get familiar with ODIN (and heed the same warning I posted above) all you end up having to do is flash CWM recovery and then install superuser via an update zip file. You may have to flash it "2 - 3 times to get it to complete without error" I am not sure why it does that but I followed the instructions around here somewhere.
Many thanks to you guys! I had the same question.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA
This is a root injected Stock I535 (leaked) Odin Flashable Image. You flash this in Odin just as you would the completely stock ROM from samsung. I've simply injected the su binary and SuperSu app so you now have rooted stock image.
So if you want to keep your device stock yet have the functionality of root without tripping the counter or just flashing back to stock yet retaining root for a good baseline to move forward from, then this is a good option.
You can get ODIN here
and the drivers for the SCH-I535 so ODIN can detect your phone can be found at Samsung's site. Click on the Manuals & Downloads tab at the bottom and then on Software for the latest driver.
Instructions:
First, Download Image:
JB Image (4.1.2) Provided by open1your1eyes0 leak
Main Download: No Wipe, latest 4.1.2 Image: root66_VZW_I535VRBMB1.7z
Prior Version:
Mirror 1: root66_VZW_I535VRBMA2.7z - This will wipe everything! Complete factory wipe. Caution, Includes /sdcard.
Mirror 1: root66_VZW_I535VRBMA2_nowipe.7z - This will NOT wipe data or sdcard.
JB Image (4.1.1)
Mirror 1: root66_VZW_I535VRBLK3.7z - This will wipe everything! Complete factory wipe. Caution, Includes /sdcard.
Mirror 1: root66_VZW_I535VRBLK3_nowipe.7z - This will NOT wipe data or sdcard.
Older Leaked JB Image
Mirror 1: root66_VZW_I535VRBLK1.7z - This will wipe everything! Complete factory wipe. Caution, Includes /sdcard.
Mirror 2: root66_VZW_I535VRBLK1.7z - This will wipe everything! Complete factory wipe. Caution, Includes /sdcard.
Mirror 1: root66_VZW_I535VRBLK1_nowipe.7z - This will NOT wipe data or sdcard.
Mirror 2: root66_VZW_I535VRBLK1_nowipe.7z - This will NOT wipe data or sdcard.
Archived Images
Mirror 1: root66_VZW_I535VRBLJ1.7z - This will wipe everything! Complete factory wipe. Caution, Includes /sdcard.
Mirror 1: root66_VZW_I535VRBLJ1_nowipe.7z - This will NOT wipe data or sdcard.
Second, Extract and Flash:
Extract the root66_VZW_I535VRBLK1.tar.md5 from the .7z file you downloaded.
Use Odin, put phone into download mode [with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ], connect to computer and open Odin.
once in odin click the PDA field and select the root66_VZW_I535VRBLK1.tar.md5 you downloaded.
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.
click start and
when done let phone reboot.
If you have issues flashing with Odin please ensure you are using the microusb cable that came with the phone, users have had issues using other cables.
If you just want a stock, rooted phone with no custom recovery, no plans to flash custom roms, etc. then you can stop HERE.
Optional, Recovery (may now trip counter):
Loading any custom recovery or custom kernel may now trip the download mode flash counter. Loading a non stock recovery will also prevent you from successfully applying any OTA updates however here is a procedure for any who want a non-stock recovery:
The instructions here are for TWRP but you can follow same procedure for CWM as well.
Option 1: Download GooManager from the Play store. Once installed click the menu and select "Install OpenRecovery Script".
Option 2: Download the TWRP recovery image here. Copy it to the /sdcard of your phone.
Connect your phone to your computer and use adb
type adb shell
once in the shell run su
then
dd if=/sdcard/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-d2vzw.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Alternate if unfamiliar with adb commands
Grab android terminal emulator from the play store and run the same commands starting with su and then the dd command.
Bonus Files
CWM Flashable OTA Upgrade (preserves root and non-stock recovery):
---------------:: root66_OTA_I535_VRBLK3_VRBMB1.zip
CWM Flashable Modems: modem_CWM_I535VRBLK3.zip || modem_CWM_I535VRBMA2.zip
ODIN Flashable Stock Recovery: VZW_recovery_I535VRBLK3.tar.md5 || VZW_recovery_I535VRBMA2.tar.md5
History:
I've injected root into other stock images and those threads have a lot of valuable information which could answer some questions that may arise here. If you have time to do some reading here are a few of the informative ones:
Samsung Galaxy S3 [ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers / Sasktel ]
Samsung Galaxy S3 [TMO / Wind / Mobilicity]
Also did sprint but there isn't much there that won't be covered above.
FAQ
Does this remove the VZW bloatware?
A: No. It is same as stock, nothing is removed.
Does this use an unlocked boot.img
A: No. This flashes the stock boot.img in the VRBLJ1 image.
Can I still get OTA updates?
A: Yes if you do not load a custom recovery or remove any system apps OTA updates will still come and be able to be successfully applied. If you want to retain root through the OTA process I'd recommend using OTA Rootkeeper.
Awsome! Thanks for this!!
I'd like to add I don't have a VZW S3 so I didn't test those images above. The first person to try please post to confirm they work. Thanks.
EDIT: Anyone reading this, it's been confirmed they work now.

I hope at this point most people have their phone how they want it. To me, this is good for 2 things. 1, first get your phone and want completely stock but root. 2, you've played around with other roms, kernels, etc and want to get back to a good baseline ensuring all stock but of course retaining root.

Well there have been 30 downloads. maybe someone has tried it at this point. (some people never post) but I'm sure we'll know soon enough.
I rooted my phone via one of the original methods (Odin file) when it first came out. When I put, the first screen says "custom". I don't think that original method tripped the flash counter.
After installing this via Odin, will I still get the "custom" message on boot?
Foxfi no longer works on jb, right?

the custom screen means your bootloader is locked. No the original method does not trip the flash counter. You basically use this file just like you did way back with VRALF2 root66 that mr. robinson was so kind to provide us with.

You'll need to ask a better question. What are you trying to do?
Rooting to get superuser access?
Wanting to install a custom ROM?
Installing a rooted custom ROM is pretty simple - grab the ROM, install ODIN, and flash it.
you have to flash cwm recovery using odin
then install the root file from recovery
stock recovery will not work

I wouldn't say that there are lots of ways wherein you can root your tab. as almost all or all uses ODIN (as ODIN is for Samsung) and the steps are quite a like.
i'm glad that chainfire's CF-AUTO-ROOT worked on your tab. if ever you wish to install a custom rom, you first need to install a custom recovery on your tab. in my case, I installed CWM.

on the contrary it will speed up your tab. example, if you install CM on your tab. CM is more updated than stock android and CM is also more secure as developers of CM(cyanomodgen) are focused on developing roms that are fast in performance and good in security and another way of speeding up your tab's performance is thru installing apps that makes you control clockspeed, you can overclock and underclock(possible if rooted). plus, rooting can extend your battery life by hours - this is made possible by root apps for battery like greenify, it lets you hibernate all apps that are running in the background thus they wont consume processor time and ram.
about warranty, if ever you flash a custom rom in your tab and want to get back to warranty you just have to flash stock firmware in your tab and install chainfire's triangle away so that you can reset you binary counter to 0 again. rooting is completely reversible.
by the way before I got my tab rooted, I usually charge it everyday but now my battery lasts for 2 days try it for yourself.
PLEASE CLICK "THANKS" IF I HELPED YOU.
Here are your answers:
1. ROOT is not dangerous to your tab. But you will not receive the Samsung Official Firmware via OTA.
You have to download the zip file of the official firmware and then install/flash via ODIN to get your tab updated.
2. Using custom ROM, you will VOID your device.
3. It is highly recommended to install a custom recovery like CMW on your tab before flashing any custom ROM.
4. For battery life it is recommended to use light custom ROM.
5. If you want to use custom ROM then I recommend instal/flash the stable version of ROM because they don't contain bugs or errors.

Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie here, but I've read the guidelines, don't hate
I got an international version SGS4 (i9505) and it got instantly rooted the day I purchased it.
The first rom I flashed was a i9505 Google Edition Rom... Everything worked fine but I didn't like it so much.
So I cleaned everything and I installed Foxhound (2.0)... and the problems started: maybe it's just because the two ROMs use different kernels, but my device started reboot randomly!
So I flashed a kernel cleaner (the Kernel Cleaning_Script by jivy26), I cleaned the cache and all the data... Then I installed the latest stable version of CyanogenMod (with Android 4.2.2)
Nothing.
My SGS4 continously reboots and sometimes it's difficult to restart it. I'm so sad, I just bought this phone and it works so bad.
Maybe I should install a Stock Rom and unroot my device?
Any advices/cleaning methods to stop these random crashes?
Please respond
Dem
I would flash full stock via odin and use it for few days.

So I should unroot too?
What's the main difference between a normal flash and a full stock flash via odin?
Please respond, I really don't know what to do and I think this is the only place where I can ask for help

Try a factory wipe first, if the reboots keep happening, I would do a fresh, clean flash of the stock tar. What I usually do is I format data through TWRP, it will say I lost root and if I want to retain it, I answer no. I reboot into download mode and flash stock tar through Odin. Then I root with CF-Auto-Root, and finally flash a custom recovery.

Excuse me, can you link the latest stock firmware and some good links for the stock tar (for i9505)??

Thank you so much... then I decided to install an Official test leaked firmware 4.3 (I9505XXUEMJ3) via Odin.
Everything works fine, but (although the system's more responsive and stable) I had another random reboot God why?
Maybe it's just a problem with kernel... I installed 3-4 Roms, and maybe my phone is not clean... but I flashed via Odin, I erased everything (cache, format/data/factory). It's so strange...
I feel like I have to throw away my phone... please help!
EDIT: my phone crashed and it is bootlooping now.
My phone is now officially bricked. After I flashed the latest official Samsung Rom my phone started bootlooping and crashing at the Samsung logo. The only thing I can do now is to use the recovery, but even if I format/data factory nothing changed.
Any possible solutions?
My patience is collapsing with this phone T_T
So let me get this straight...you had an instability issue (reboots) and after all the help from the guys here suggesting to flash a stable stock rom, you decided to go ahead and flash a leaked firmware?
Find the latest OFFICIAL STOCK 4.2.2 rom and try again. Don't even root, just check with a stable rom so you can see if your issue is hardware related.
Try downloading and flashing one of the sammobile firmwares.

Why on earth are trying something you don't know about. If you don't follow the guides here on xda it will not work. You have to install custom Recovery's in order to clean and erase your whole phone. If you don't it will keep on DIRTY FLASHING and acting up or rebooting or what ever. Stock recovery is basically useless for what Your trying to do.
Edit: the link you posted is the way you should have done it in the first place

I must admit I failed so bad :\ Should I re-root to install a custom recovery? And then? How do I clean my phone? T_T I had a custom recovery, but I just format all datas/factory and cache. Is there anything else I can do with a custom recovery (considering that I don't have backups on my phone).
Please be kind, I said I'm new here I wait for your answers to continue
Which stock 4.2.2 rom did you try?
When you installed 4.3 stock rom, you probably also installed the new knox bootloader, so in order to go back to 4.2.2 you must install a stock rom like XXUDMH8 or XXUDMI1 that have the new bootloader.
Download one of them from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9505&pcode=0
and then follow the instruction from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
p.s if you want ppl to be kind, follow their advice...

Thank you so much I'm here to learn. So:
1) I should install a stock rom (such as XXUDMH8 or XXUDMI1) with the new bootloader
2) Then I should root using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2413014
3) Then I should install a custom recovery and... ?
Tell me if the steps are correct or I'm failing again lol
EDIT: I realized that I installed XXUDMH8! So it's ok, it have the new bootloader. What can I do now? :/ (I did everything in the thread you linked, I got android 4.2.2. stock - XXUDMH8... but I don't know how to continue to stop the crashes)
Yeah that's basically it. After you have custom Recovery installed do a complete wipe of everything twice just to make sure. Then go ahead and install stock with Odin and your random boots should be gone.

Keep in mind that with so many flashes, if you already have the new bootloader, you may have triggered the Knox efuse and voided your warranty.
You can check that in download mode, if knox warranty is 0x0 you are fine. If it is 0x1 you have triggered it.
You can look for more info in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447832
If knox warranty is 0x0 DONT ROOT YET...READ FIRST. There are ways to root without voiding your warranty.

Warranty 0x0 for now. To be sincere I don't know what to do atm... I'm scared as hell of doing anything D:
if I can't root now, I can't install a custom recovery and clean my phone. I'm a little bit confused...
Guide me and I promise I won't do stupid things this time .-.
How to root without voiding the phone warranty?
Try to install with this kernel "GT-I9505_AdamKernel.V1.6.KnoxFree2.CWM". You may search it in this xda forum.
Hopefully this will helping you.
