ICS stock (oneclick) and CWM via Rom Manager

I have taken my new skyrocket and flashed it with the ICS stock (oneclick) rooted it using these instructions:
Code:
How to Root and Install CWM Recovery on Galaxy S2 Skyrocket ICS Firmware
Part I: Installing CWM Recovery (Required before rooting)
1.Download the CWM package.
Download Link | Filename: SkyrocketCWMrecovery.tar
2.Download Odin 1.85 from → here.
Filename: Odin 1.85.zip | Size: 199 KB
3.Extract the contents of the Odin 1.85.zip file to a folder.
4.Open Odin (from step 3) — double-click the Odin3 v1.85.exe that you got after extracting the file Odin 1.85.zip.
5.Now, boot into download mode on the phone. To do this, turn off your phone. Plug in your USB cable to the computer, but not to the phone. Then, holding the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons on the phone, plug in the USB cable to the phone while holding those buttons. Once the Download mode screen shows up, let go of the buttons.
6.You should get the message “Added!” under Odin’s message box in the bottom left. If you don’t get this message, then probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve proper drivers installed. See point 3 above under Pre-Installation Requirements.
7.In Odin, click the PDA tab, and select the file SkyrocketCWMrecovery.tar (from step 1).
8.Important! Do not make any other changes in Odin except selecting the required files as given in step 7. Leave all other options as they are.
9.Now hit the START button to start flashing Clockworkmod recovery on your Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. After flashing is complete, the phone will reboot, and you’ll get a PASS message (with green background) in Odin. You can now safely disconnect your phone.
IMPORTANT Note: If ODIN gets stuck and doesn’t seem to be doing anything, or you get a FAIL message (with red background) in ODIN, do the following – disconnect the phone from the PC, close ODIN, remove battery, re-insert it, then do the procedure again from Step 4.
Part II: Root the ICS Firmware
1.Download the root package.
Download Link | Filename: Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
2.Transfer the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip file to your internal SD card.
3.Turn off the phone, then boot into recovery. To do so, press and hold the Volume Up + Volume Down + Power buttons till the first white Samsung text shows up, then let them go. You’ll boot into recovery soon enough. In recovery, use Volume buttons to navigate and the Power button to select.
4.Select install zip from sdcard, then select choose zip from sdcard. Scroll to the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip file on the sdcard and select it. Confirm installation by selecting Yes – Install Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip on the next screen.
5.After the installation is complete, select go back then select reboot system now to reboot the phone. You now have a rooted UCALC4 ICS firmware on your Galaxy S2 Skyrocket.
I have the CWM recovery installed, but within Rom manager It's telling me CWM recovery needs to be installed and I need to select a phone. I see the T-Mobile Galaxy S2, but I do not see the ATT Skyrocket. Any ideas?
For some odd reason Im getting "Android is upgrading.. Optimizing X of 62" on every reboot.
Any ideas on this as well?

Don't use ROM Manager.... It only works for fixing permissions.

I'd suggest do all these task in CWM and keep rom manager away.

+1.
The CWM in app store is not as up-to-date as one would think. If you use it to install CWM it will install an OLDER version... Forget about it. I used to use it just to boot to recovery, wihtout the hassle of the buttons. Only for that.
Re the "Android is upgrading...." The old applications were not deleted completely. Wipe cache partition, Fix permissions, wipe dalvik cache (in CWM Advanced).
Good luck !

[Q] help pls proleplem with root on p6200

help pls problem with root on p6200
when i was root by this way i have issue
1) Install USB driver for Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus to transfer files between the Android device and computer.
2) Enable USB Debugging Mode on the tablet to connect the Android device with the computer and use the Android SDK with it. [Press Menu>> Settings>> Applications. From there navigate and click on Development option and ensure the USB Debugging Mode is turned on.]
3) As the tutorial might wipe all data of the phone, create a backup. If the device is having any custom recoveries such as CWM/TWRP already installed then backup data using the recovery.
4) The device should have above 80 per cent of battery charge.
5) The Galaxy tablet should be factory unlocked and not locked to a particular carrier.
6) The tablet will lose manufacturer's warranty once it is rooted. However, users can reclaim the warranty back by unrooting the device later.
7) The recovery file and the Superuser file work only on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus P6200. Applying these on any incorrect variant might brick the device. Therefore, verify the model number of the Galaxy device by selecting Settings>> About device>> Model number.
Steps to root Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus GT-P6200 on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and Install CWM Recovery
Step-1: Download CWM recovery file for Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus to the computer
File name: GT-P6200-Recovery-tar.md5
Step-2: Download CWM flashable SuperUser zip. Copy it to the SD card of the tablet
File name: Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Step-3: Download Odin 3.07 and extract the downloaded zip to the computer
Step-4: Switch off the Galaxy tablet and boot it into Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down and Power buttons together
Step-5: Launch Odin on the computer
Step-6: Connect the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus to the computer using USB cable while it is in the Download Mode. Wait until Odin detects the tablet. When the tablet is connected successfully, the ID: COM will turn yellow with COM port number. Also, an Added message will appear in Odin indicating successful connection
Note: If the Added message does not come then try another USB port, try the one located at the back side of the computer. If that too does not work then re-install USB driver.
Step-7: In Odin, click the PDA button and select GT-P6200-recovery.tar.md5 file
Step-8: Verify the Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time checkboxes are selected in Odin. But uncheck the Re-Partition option
Step-9: Finally click the Start button in Odin to begin the installation process which would take few minutes to complete. Once the installation process is completed, a PASS message will appear under Odin indicating successful installation. The tablet will then reboot automatically
Step-10: Once the tablet boots up, turn it off. Then boot the device into recovery mode by pressing and holding Volume Up and Power buttons together
Note: In recovery mode, use the Volume keys to scroll between options and use Power button to select the desired option.
Step-11: In recovery mode, scroll down to and select install zip from sdcard then select choose zip from sdcard. Now navigate to the Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip file which was earlier copied to the SD card of the tablet
Step-12: Select it using the Power button and confirm installation by selecting Yes on the next screen
Step-13: Once the installation process is completed, return to the main recovery menu and reboot the tablet by selecting reboot system now
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus should be now rooted successfully on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean with ClockworkMod recovery installed. To verify the root, open the app drawer of the tablet and look for an app called SuperSU from the list. Also, to ensure the root access, install Root Checker app from Google Play Store.
when select Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip says
e:failed to verify whole-file signature
e:failed to verify whole-file signature
e:signature verification failed

Turn off signature verification in CWM.
I dont use CWM personally but I would say check under Advanced or Settings if it has that option while you are booted into CWM.

Samsung SM-J105F root

can somebody with a recovery that I can mode to run on my phone help? I am tired of using 360root.apk I want to use SuperSU and not these apps with Chinese interface

Here are the steps I followed after some extensive reading of other peoples methods and trying every possible app that would not work:
How to install TWRP and root the Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini (SM-J105F)
The device is powered by a Spreadtrum chipsets and Android 5.1.1
Basically what you need to do to root your Samsung, is to install/flash a custom recovery such as TWRP, which other than the limited functions of the OEM recovery, has all the features you need to flash a custom rom. You then boot into this TWRP recovery and use the touch menu to install/flash the SuperSu xx.zip file to give you root. It seems that other methods to root do not work on this specific phone.
Here is an Odin3 flashable *.tar md5 TWRP file that will also make it possible to root your Samsung Galaxy J1 SM-J105F, unfortunately it has to be paid for. Find it here: http://www.saroms.co.za/product/samsung-galaxy-j1-mini-j105f-root-file/ - and follow the bellow steps to flash the TWRP custom recovery and after rooting your J105F Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini.
Note: Odin3 only flashes with xxxx.tar or xxxx.tar.md5 files. TWRP can also flash xxxx.zip files.
To get into Odin mode or Download mode on the phone, switch off phone and unplug any cable to your PC or charger. Now hold in the Home button, the lower part of the volume button (V-) and the power button simultaneously. The phone will boot into a recovery screen and if you push the top part of the volume button (V+) you will switch to the Download screen. Only now can you plug your phone into the PC and run Odin3
Once TWRP recovery has been loaded, do the following to boot into TWRP recovery: Disconnect any cables to charger or PC. Switch off the phone. Now hold in the Home button, the upper part of the volume button (V+) and the power button simultaneously. The phone will boot showing the Teamwin screen and then the menu buttons which work from the touchscreen.
If you do not want to pay for the correct TWRP recovery for your specific device, then use Google to search for the file: TWRP SM-J105H_F_M_Y 5.1.1.tar
1. Download the following files:
(i) OEM Samsung firmware for your phone in case you have to fall back and reinstall the firmware i.e.
XFV-J105FXXU0AQA3-20170329071250.zip
(ii) TWRP SM-J105H_F_M_Y 5.1.1.tar or any other custom TWRP recovery file for your model phone.
(iii) UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip
2. Go to Settings > About device > Software Info > and tap on Build number a few times until you are a developer.
3. You should now see and tap on 'Developer options' if you go back to Settings.
4. In Developer options. turn on 'OEM Unlock' by moving the slider to the right, Enable. Never set that setting to off once you have loaded a custom firmware or TWRP custom recovery! You phone will brick and only show *“Custom binary blocked by FRP lock” after the next reboot!! (FRP = Factory Reset Protection)
* If so install OEM firmware with Odin3 and start again.
5. Copy the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip file to the root of your internal storage SD card (not external). This will be installed by using TWRP recovery. Use your PC to do this.
6. Turn the device off and boot into "Download Mode” (V- and Home and Power ... and then V+)
7. Run the Odin3 application on your PC and load the recovery *.md5 file under 'AP' or load the file: TWRP SM-J105H_F_M_Y 5.1.1.tar.
8. Connect the MS-J105f to your PC and let Odin3 connect and ID:COM will go blue and show i.e. 0 : (COM4) > then click Start.
9. The SM-J105F will power on when done. Disconnect cable and power it off again.
10. Boot into recovery (V+ and Home and Power) will now boot into TWRP.
11. You will now see the TWRP menu touch screen.
12. Tap Install > scroll to the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip" file you downloaded and copied to the phone memory tap it.
13. Swipe at the bottom slider to confirm install.
14. Tap Reboot to system when done and you should be rooted.
15. Install and run SuperSU from the app store and run.
16. Install and run Root Checker Basic.
To reinstall the OEM firmware, download the proper xxxx.zip from the Samsung website.
You must the extract the xxx.tar.MD5 file from the download
If you can get into the Download screen on your SM-J105F then use Odin3 as above, just under PA select the OEM file xxxx.tar.MD5 (it takes a short while to select properly as it a very large 2 gb file after extracting)
Hope this helps someone else. Thanks to all whose posts and contributions helped me.

Update Samsung Galaxy On5 SM-G550FY (non-Pro) to Nougat Pro firmware - Detailed

As one of the previous threads in this section mentioned the same (that On5 Pro firmwares work on non-Pro On5 models also), I can confirm that it works on Samsung Galaxy On5 SM-G550FY (2015 non-Pro) model. The downloaded firmware was a latest On5-Pro Nougat version that I could find on https://updato.com but works with old non-Pro On5 model as well.
This post is "only" meant to chalk out the complete process.
Detailed instructions for people who've not rooted their Samsung devices before:
Steps to replicate the process:
Preparation for rooting first:
Make sure your phone battery is charged to 70% or more
Backup your device data
Make sure you install Samsung's Android USB Driver for Windows on your PC, if you haven’t already. >> Official link
Download the latest .tar image of TWRP for Galaxy On5 (it is compatible) >> Official link
Download and Unzip the latest version of Odin version >> Official link
Download the latest Super SU >> Official link
Now follow the instructions:
First you should enabled Developer options. If Developers Option is hidden, go to Settings > About Phone > Built Number (tap on it for 5-8 times)
Enabled USB Debugging and OEM unlock.
Install Android USB Drivers on your PC.
Connect the phone to you PC using the USB cable and copy the SuperSU.zip file into any directory of your internal storage.
Turn off your Samsung Galaxy Boot the device into Download Mode as follows: press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons together.
When a warning triangle appears on screen, press Volume Up button to enter Download Mode.
Launch Odin.exe by click right and run as administrator on computer.
Connect your phone to the computer. Odin will automatically detect your phone and show the “added" message.
In Odin, tap AP button and find the TWRP Recovery file you downloaded earlier and select it.
Uncheck Auto-reboot in the options tab in Odin
Click Start in Odin.
Once the root installation is done, your phone will reboot and soon a PASS message with a green background appears in the left-most box at the very top of Odin.
Remove the battery and then re-insert it again.
Boot into “recovery mode”, by pressing and hold Volume Up + Home +Power buttons simultaneously
In the TWRP mode Swipe to Allow Modification
Tap ‘Install’
Select Storage and scroll to location of SuperSU.zip file.
Select the .zip file and swipe the bar to confirm. This will start flashing the .zip file.
Once the flashing finished you will see the ‘Reboot System’ option, click it to reboot your device.
After reboot, if the SuperSU App exist on your Application Menu on your smartphone it means you’ve successfully rooted your device.
Can take further help from here (works for this On5 model as well) >> https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...nt/updated-root-instructions-samsung-t3747435
After rooting:
You can remove the bloatware first using any "root uninstaller" app from the Play Store. Be careful as to not uninstall any vital system apps.
Now go to >> https://updato.com and download the latest On5 SM-G550FY firmware (>1GB) by searching "On5" and sorting firmwares by date and selecting the region (for my model make the region was India (INS) >> You can use this Working link directly, as well
The above version is an On5 Pro Nougat version but works in old On5 models as well.
Final Steps:
Now again launch Odin.exe by click right and run as administrator on computer.
Connect your phone to the computer. Odin will automatically detect your phone and show the “added" message.
In Odin, tap AP button and find the firmware file you downloaded earlier and select it. You might need to first extract the firmware file.
Click Start in Odin.
The phone will reboot and you'll have updated your Lollipop/Marshmallow device to Nougat.
