Hey there everyone, Im new to this xda thingy. Anyways the other day I got interested in rooting my samsung galaxy s 2 skyrocket at&t.
It is running a jellybean firmware 4.1.2 So I installed framaroot but it didnt work. The thing is though, Ive tried almost every version on the forum, every single version shows me the same one exploit (gandalf). It doesnt show any other exploit, every single version I tried for framaroot just shows gandalf and the gandalf exploit does not work for me. Is there any possible way to fix this? If not is there any one tap application app for the galaxy s2 skyrocket? Thank you for your time
This belongs in the forum for your phone. I've asked a moderator to move it for you.

Read everything by @vincom. He has comprehensive guides for pretty much anything you would want to do with the Skyrocket.

Framaroot doesn't work with the skyrocket. I tried all of them. Use Odin

I just got a Samsung gem and it is currently running 2.1 need help rooting and installing 2.2. If you know of any programs or know of any site that can help I would be very grateful.
Phone model: Samsung gem SCH-I100
Sadness, no one has replied yet. I have one of these phones too and I want to be able to root it too. I really don't know how to root it or create a method to do it nor create or cook a rom. Let's hope someone does it soon.
I have this phone too. I have tried many ways to root this phone and none has work thus far. Methods I tried are z4root, SuperOneClick, and Universal Androot.
none of these methods works for the samsung gem running on eclair... i am unsure of the one running Froyo on US Cellular tho
try z4root or superoneclick

I've tried both. Z4root doesn't work and superoneclick doesn't give permanent root. I've been able to root w/ superoneclick and somehow the root disappears randomly without even being rebooted.
Same thing happens to me with superoneclick root.
And unless you have a CellularOne version of the Gem, you don't want to install Android 2.2 from the Samsung site. It will break the Market and it also makes the 3G fail intermittently.
Yes u can put 2.2 on gem goto Samsung site for update like I did months ago
Samsung.Com then I have ntelos so I used generic ruu update and gem much better faster gps works too

which version of soc did you use? someone just gave me a gem to root for them and im about to try it now. i'll let you know how i did it, even if i have to do it myself via sdk.
edit: the gem i have is running 2.1 update 1, i used superoneclick version 2.1.1 (at the bottom of the thread in attached files) it went off without a hitch.
Hey and sorry if this is a old question, but I have a problem...
I'm having troubles when I'm trying to root my galaxy s II, but my problems are these:
I can't use superoneclick, cause the program it crashes everytime I try.. Someone says that u can't root gingerbread's with that.. (why youtube is full of rooting videos?)
And now I'm thinking should I try rooting with gingerbreak?
(people says that u can't root galaxy s2's newest model with gingerbreak?)
and if I can root it with gingerbreak, what folder I should put that .apk file etc?
I've read lots of forums, but I never get answers to my problems, so I'm hoping that u guys can here help me out.. THANKS!!
You should probably check the subforums for your device. Check the stickies, there's probably a guide to rooting there.
Manufacturer and phone model have more to do with root methods than Android versions. Instead of searching for how to root Gingerbread, search for how to root your specific model.

Okay so I've tried rooting my galaxy s4 multiple times, and none have worked. I have a mac and verizon is my carrier, and the software on my phone is 4.3 jellybean. for whatever reason my phone never properly roots and at most it will just download superuser, which in the end tells me can't work. someone please help!!
samsung 4.3 version is come with knox feature that will block all app to access the root.
this also happened to me when i try to root my note 2 a couple days ago.
tried a lot of method on google to disable that knox but still failed.
the last attempt that i do is completely install a knox free custom rom and it's work very good until now, and you may try it.
you may search the custom rom for your s4 on this forum and choose the most suitable for you
How on earth can he install a custom rom if he doesn't have root access?

You need to find your baseband version and find a root method that is appropriate for the version you are running. Not every (and rarely any) root methods work for more than one baseband version on the Verizon S4. Knox will not stop you from rooting your phone.

Hi everyone. First, thanks for everything you guys do. Thus is my first post. Sorry if it's in the wrong place.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 and previously used towelroot to root my device. Recently it became un rooted and I've been trying to reroot it. Towelroot says my phone is not supported. I tried entering the Modstrings as described and none of them are working. Is it because my kernal date is too recent? Jul. 22. Total noob here, sorry.

I am having the same problem, I have a S5 SM G900A (AT & T) and I can not get root through Towelroot. It displays the following message:
'' Currently this phone is not supported '
I just want to add the language PT BR on my device, either by custom rom or not. Anyway!
It's 2016, and I need to know the truth about rooting the I925. I reset it to factory settings and here is what I have:
Model SCH-I925
Android Version = 4.1.2
Kernel Version 3.0.31-1481643
Build # JZ05454K.I925VRAMK1
Hardware Version I925.03
Is is possible to put Cyanogen on this?
I have tried several ways and the only successful way I have rooted it was King Root. But I was never able to get a recovery on there. I used Heimdall, according to the Cyanogen Website, with no success. I really thought CASUAL was the answer, but now I see that it doesn't work with the updated version. I need the pro on here to help me! I really want cyanogen on it! I am a newbie and using Windows on this..
Try the forum for your model .
I too fall into the same category and have not found a definite answer, has the MK1 stumped all who come against it? Or is root and unlocked b/l a trade secret? I have rooted many devices in my past from G1 to EVOs to newer devices and nothing has been more or less unknown around here like this device is....what gives??
What locked bootloader

It's hard to find a good how-to with this one it seems. There are many tutorials but usually for the other variants and not the Verizon one. The ones that seem to be for the right device use apps to install a recovery but the apps don't seem to support this model either.
I guess there is no luck for this tablet at all... I got it for cheap at this point (4 years after its release)! And there doesnt seem to be a way to even downgrade

So this means there is no fix for Galaxy note 10.1 SCH-I925. Would you happen to know if Casual is available for this model somewhere in this forum. Thanks for your response. mariomr
No sorry no idea .
the only thing that is achieved is to root, unfortunately there is no way to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP
I also found the 4 stock files to recover by odin, but I did not verify it
sorry for my english

Been a while like years since I rooted mine, but it was easy peasy, with Framaroot.
