GALAXY S II PLUS ROOTING AND CWM
​
PREREQUISITES:

-Odin3
-As usual, a brain

NOTE:
Rooting will increase your binary counter.
ROOTING:
A) CWM (Thank you k2wl!!)
Download k2wl's CWM here.
Make sure you have Odin installed and Kies NOT running.
Boot your phone into Download mode by pressing: Vol.Down + Home + Power buttons all together.
Open Odin as an administrator.
Connect to PC using a USB cable.
Odin should show COM:X (X could be anything) on the left side which means your device is recognized.
Click on PDA and look for the file you downloaded (CWM file, should be named cwm_s2vep_k2wl.tar, or something along those lines) and choose it.
When Odin says Leave CS, press Start and wait, shouldn't take longer than 1-2 minutes.
Quick Note: This is not tested for I9105, but it theoretically should work.
B) Rooting
Download this file, and this file.
Place them both in your internal or external SD card.
Now reboot into recovery with the following combination: Vol.Up + Home + Power buttons all together.
Choose install zip from sd card, and choose external or internal, depending on where you put the root zip file in.
Flash the root zip "UPDATE-SuperSU.zip"
Flash "cwm-permanentor.zip"
Reboot
Done, you are now rooted!
UNROOTING AND REVERTING TO STOCK STATE:
Alright so, if you would like to unroot your phone and send it to warranty or sell it... Do the following.
Download Triangle Away by Chainfire from here.
Install it and use it to reset the binary counter.
Download the latest stock firmware for your device, make sure it's on the form of XX**** (e.g. XXAMC2). Non XX firmwares are fishy, and tend to brick devices sometimes. So get the latest firmware from live.samsung-updates.com. Always remember to choose the fimware with YOUR EXACT DEVICE MODEL.
Extract the .zip file from the download to attain a .tar.md5 fie.
Flash it using Odin.
After the firmware has flashed and the device reboots, delete root-related apps like Superuser (might or might not be there), and such.
Done, you are now back to stock state

We've just retired method 1 (prerooted firmwares).
Stick to the SuperSU method... easier and faster, no errors.

Do you see a COM:## sign on the left? Where ## is any number (the port in which you connected your phone). If yes then proceed normally as instructed in the OP. If not then try connectimg your phone to Kies software. It should download the S2 Plus USB drivers then. If that doesn't work try a different USB cable. If that doesn't work either try a different computer. Good luck

Reflash C but this time untick auto reboot. After odin says reset... boot into recovery straight from download mode using the key combination for recovery

stock recovery
The first time CWM always works but then if I try it again, it has jumped back to stock recovery. I also tried it with auto boot unchecked.
Any suggestions?

Follow step 2 if you flash the recovery that's enough
For root flash the zip in the thread.
Edit : I saw that the thread is deleted a ad the method by my tread
Replaced link first post
Not working on my phone. Ruined all the apps (Force Close all applications). Even the settings menu is not accesible. And notification area is not present anymore. I have to reinstall the rom now. Any idea what went wrong ? I have root and SU works fine (i have permitions to write system files).
PS: Funny thing : 'cause the phone app is not working when the phone rings the screen remains black . But when i unlock i can still see the missing calls . So i can make a call but i cannot close it =)) This would be a great thing for a prank 'cause i cant answer the phone either.
Problem in framework Res bro...check your baseband...framework Res gives forceclose if you on different baseband...only way to flash any zip on any baseband is deodexed ROM....

yes that error was about skiping waiting time.... the file created was not completely extracted and that caused the error.... do that:
redownload my new version with all fixes (you can use the "small" app no need for full app)
go to sdcard0 and delete fotacwm.img
open the apk....grand su permissions....klick flash (if you cant klick you have to wait until the app says you can)
