[Q] Rooting shv e120k Samsung galaxy s 2 hd lte

Hi, i just bought the samsung galaxy 2 hd lte (SHV-e120K) and i was looking to root it. i couldn't find anything anywhere except for this website in Chinese that has the file downloads and instructions for the process. i read through the instructions through google translate, but not everything was clear. first of all, has this worked for anyone???? and if so can someone properly translate the instructions so i can root it properly. i don't want to take any risks.
here's the website in chinese (delete spaces between the dot and com, and between the dot and html):

There is this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484547
but for now, there isn't a 'rooted kernel' for the more recent updates that you got OTA or via Kies.. so check my comment .
about reverting to the older stock rom. You might want to wait for ICS and a rooted kernel before going through the trouble of rooting.

WIth E120K, have you tried using the LTE service already? I am really wondering whether the LTE service work outside of Korea, especially in Australia. thanks

LTE on it works great. Does anyone know if there is a kernel for 4.0.4 for the E120K. I have searched all over the place to no avail.

Google --->>> rootzwiki: shv-e120k <<<---
There you will find all you need including links to Tegrak's recovery and kernel builds for UF29 firmware.
There's no kernel and recovery for the latest -- UK08 firmware (it isn't JB There are a few requests on Tegrak's blog for a kernel and recovery for the UK08 firmware so I doubt we will wait long - Tegrak is always on the ball

[Q] root for dummies - Samsung Galaxy S GT-19000

Hi, I have scoured the web for information but several hours later I am none the wiser.
I would like to root my device in order to optimize its performance. I am super confused about: cf-root, mobile/pc odin, android version, etc. I still have no idea what is appropriate for my device. :crying: Please point me in the right direction.
I have found may threads out there with very detailed instructions, but I can't figure out if that's what I need. I'm apparently on Gingerbread, but what do I need now? The Icecream, the other one?
Reason for rooting: phone too slow with so many apps loading themselves in the background. I want to be able to prevent all these [expletive deleted] apps from loading themselves automatically. I also want to remove the stock apps I don't need (but can't now remove). I'm tired of factory resetting every other week to improve performance.
Ultimate purpose: phone, sms, whatsapp, news. That's it. I don't need 3d porn or anything. :angel: My needs are extremely minimal.
Thanks for any pointers! :good:
Samsung Galaxy S
GT-19000
Firmware Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9000ZSJV6
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7, [email protected]#2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.zsjv6

I have a friend who has the same phone model and is running JB 4.2.2 on a CM10.1 ROM and it is smooth.

Thanks Sewrizer. I'd rather brick the phone than pay for the service. I already have a more recent phone, so this is more of a second device. It's just that I like the typing better so I haven't completely stopped using it. I guess I'm sort of relishing the idea of an experiment with it as well.
Do you have a link to instructions for the above? If it works for your friend, it's good enough for me.
Unless I hear something back, I'm getting ready to try this:
EDIT: galaxy-s-i9000-android422-jellybean-slimbean-build3.htm
from: articles/454365/20130407/

thanks a lot.

which cf-root?
Thanks Sewrizer. As it happens these are the instructions I started with, and from which a lot of confusion arose (I can't post urls yet).
The first link is to Odin3 v1.85, but I have found Odin3 v1.87. Not sure if there is a later version. It says somewhere that the latest version is best.
The second link is to a series of posts with many download links. Somewhere down the page it states that if you're confused, then:
First, go to Settings -> About phone -> Build number. It should say something like FROYO.xxJPy. It's primarily the JPy that we are interested in. Try to match that with a download link available in this (and the next few) posts. Some of the downloads dont just have JPy file name format, but are called xx_xxx_JPy.
Let me explain that. Samsung isn't always very precise in naming/marking their different (leaked) firmwares. CF-Root's are modified kernels, the filenames explain in more detail which exact firmware ROM the base kernel was taken from, for those experts who understand.
If you are not one of those people, go back to the JPy thing. The "y" in JPy is 0-9, A-Z. If they run out of numbers, they use letters. So A would be 10 (9 + 1), while Z would be 35 (9 + 26). Find the one that is closest to yours, if yours is not present, and flash that one.

Well, my build number is of the form GINGERBREAD.zsjv6, which doesn't fit the pattern described (I don't see any JPy, I see jv6), so which version of CF-Root should I download?
GT-19000. Firmware Version: 2.3.3. Baseband Version: I9000ZSJV6. Kernel Version:2.6.35.7. Build number: GINGERBREAD.zsjv6
Thanks!

How to root your S3
Hi, I used one available in droid lessons, but i'm not allowed to post links yet. Just look in google for droid lessons and then " How to Root the Samsung Galaxy S3 " It was really easy, and worked great for me.

downgrade
Sewrizer said:
Looks like that tutorial was only good for stock froyo users. Since you have gingerbread you must have updated your phone. I think you may have to downgrade from 2.3 to 2.2.

yes you're right I did upgrade at the Samsung store. I'll follow up your link now, but it's starting to sound awfully complicated :silly:
Thanks Sewrizer :silly::highfive:

That's not official ROM. It's a port.
The title states: September 22nd, Official Samsung Release Android 4.4.4 base NH7 - Experimental version.
He also said his Note 3 Korean version, N9006 chinese and N9005 flashed it fine.
UI changes not seen.
THIS IS BASED ON N900P'S FIRMWARE.
Also stuff like after he flashed he didn't need to reflash N900S kernel.
I know how to read the site, and that's just a port. Just use XDA man.

[Q] How can I upgrade my ZTE Grand Era u985 to Kitkat or lollipop ?

Hi, I am new to android and stuff, so I still dont know how to do it, but can I ask how can I upgrade it to kitkat or lollipop (if not can I just upgrade it to Jellybean ?)

You shouln't have bought Chinese devices like this. They don't provide necessary guide for their things out of their country. They do things in their own forums and own language.
Okay, I didn't find any ROMS for Kitkat for your device.
I just came to know that you can upgrade to Jellybean. I just saw this:

4.1.2 update was released today. Here's the direct link for download:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=3082485858&uk=3442944625
It's recommended to update first from B03 to B04 and then do the 4.1.2 update. Here's the link for 4.0.4 B04:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=3921007642&uk=3945654451
How to do 4.1 update. Remember to backup first!:
1. Download V985_update_4.1.2.7z upgrade package file and unzip the file. Under the folders there's update.zip.
2. Copy update.zip to the external SD card root directory
3. Enter the "Settings" -> "System Software Updates" -> "Storage card upgrade." and uncheck "retain user data upgrade". If this is checked, it will cause some issues and the phone might not boot.
4.Click the OK button to upgrade. Upgrade process starts automatically after a few seconds.

I believe ZTE has not released kitkat or lollipop updates, but there should be Cyanogenmod available. I quickly searched from Chinese sites and I found these:
CyanogenMod 10.2(Android 4.3.1) For ZTE U985
http://bbs.flydev.cc/thread-5719-1-1.html
[Live Team] [update fix2] CM11 For ZTE U985 special edition release
http://bbs.flydev.cc/thread-6748-1-1.html
Download links should be available on those threads but you need to login first and post comment to the thread so that the link will be visible. Chrome with Google translator is needed When I downloaded roms from Chinese sites they required posts in Chinese, all english posts was removed and they can ban user who posts in english. So just copy paste something clever from earlier posts. Good luck!

can I ?

can I install the CyanogenMod 10.2 through different forums, or through YT ? cause I am afraid that if I install the CyanogenMod 10.2 in that site, my android's language will turn in to chinese which I cannot understand. Thanks in advance.
