{Guide} Rooting Galaxy R on version 4.0.4

This is how to root your Samsung Galaxy R running on ICS version 4.0.4
Step 1
Go over to http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and scroll down to ARM devices (2.0 – 4.1). Then you will see 3.2-RC2 under it is a link to the download, click it to start the download.
Step 2
Ounce you have downloaded it you want to put it onto the root of your SD card. You can do this by putting it onto your external SD card and copying it over to the root of your phone.
Step 3
Boot into CWMR. You can do this by shutting your phone down completely and ounce its shut off you hold down power and the volume Up button.
Step 4
After you boot into CWMR you want to install zip from SD card so hit the volume keys to move up and down and click install zip from SD card. Then you scroll down to where the Superuser zip file is and flash it.
Step 5
Finally, once you have flashed it you want to reboot your phone by going back to main menu and clicking reboot. Now your done!! Just wait for your phone to boot up and you have successfully rooted your phone!

Hi Vikram,
Thanks for your post..
Just a small correction in Step#4.
In order to go to CWMR, we need to press power.. and then press volume_Up and Home button simultaneously... and not Volume_Down..
I was following your instructions to the T.. and was not at all getting into CWMR mode.. as i thought for a second.. the hot keys combinations have changed..

So here it is.
Flash file in CWM and it will disable the Menu and Back Keys, so your free to use on screen buttons
This mod is for XXLSC based roms but might work on others.
Enjoy
**To Restore hardware buttons simply flash Enable zip

Bios Boot only Root needed (cwm optional) i9505

Hi
I Make a Biosboot Animation.
Youtube Video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ViA0XwDLsA
https://www.dropbox.com/s/92c9o4vip44udtr/CWM_Bootanimation_OmegaBios_S4.zip
for Root unzip the files... copy
bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to system/Media...

It should be possible to add a boot sound​ too

Is there any credits to be given here ?
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium

Nice work! Love it!

Nice work, thanks~

Is there anyway to insert/create own boot animation? I want to change my default boot animation to cyanogenmod. But the animation file formats are different.
Nevermind. Found a way to do it.

Can you make for i9500 too?

I know what a PC bios is genius. I'm saying the proper number of frames to make it animated, the layout and described items are not ideas of your own. There was work that you copied for android and boot animation.zip and you and I both now the truth. Calling names and pulling 1984 bios doesn't change that you kanged without proper credit and that is the worst thing someone can do on XDA.

[GUIDE] [4.1] How to root and install CWM

GALAXY S II PLUS ROOTING AND CWM
​
PREREQUISITES:
-An I9105/P
-Odin3
-As usual, a brain
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

[MOD] Advanced Power Menu & Remove Kid Mode

Remove Kid Mode and add Advanced Power Menu. Tested only on SKYFALL Deodex ROM. Should work on stock Deodexed ROMs.
Download MAIN LINK or MIRROR

Flash like you would normally
Works on both TWRP and CWM Enjoy!

Can verify works with CWM.... Have to press restart to access advanced power menu... Thx for mod

TWRP *thumbs up*
I can verify this works with TWRP. Hallelujah I have my advanced power menu back AND a new ROM!

does this work on the stock rom?

Umm.....
Not to be a smart aleck...
Bud did you read the OP? If says it was tested ONLY with SkyFall DEODEX ROM, which is pretty much a stock ROM.

Isn't kid mode already removed on Skyfall by default? It appears to be gone on v.1.3 that I 'm running.

You can delete kid mode from apps...the power menu would be nice. ?

I am on stock rom, S-off and root.
I just did a Nandroid backup from CWM, flashed this in recovery, rebooted and didn't do anything. Tried a reboot...
On reboot I got nothing when I held down the power button. Did a hard reboot, checked again, normal menu popped up, no change :/
So for now restored my Nandroid, and will see if anyone has suggestions.

Whether he read the OP or not isn't a relative point for what he wrote. He wrote it didn't work on the odexed version of SkyFall - the OP wrote that he only tested it on the deodexed version, not that it only worked on the deodexed; big difference. I actually found his post to be useful because it let me know that I can't flash it since I'm running Skyfall 1.3 odex.
tl;dr
Did YOU read the OP?
