Hi, I have the samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket i727 still running ginger bread. The usb port on it is broken so I can't charge the phone or hook it up to the computer. Is there any to root this phone without using the computer or mobile odin? To use mobile odin it already needs to have a custom recovery correct? Can I install a custom recovery with root? or using a computer? I have tried several of the apps I've seen posted like z4root, gingerbreak, klingo, stumproot, towelroot and i think 1 or 2 others. Can anyone please give me advice on how to get this rooted with step by step instructions please!! Thanks in advance for any help!!!!

It might be easier for you to just order you a new charging port.

You'll also need this:

So, here's my story. I am trying to gain root access to my Galaxy S II Skyrocket. I see a lot of posts/replies of other people having success with SuperOneClick 2.2 using the zerg exploit but for some reason mine just hangs and doesn't go any further. To kind of backtrack, I was able to root my first Galaxy S II Skyrocket, but then I had charging issues so I exchanged it for a replacement. Now, the replacement will not root. And even with the first one I had a hard time gaining root. It took me several, several attempts to get it working. I don't understand what I'm missing. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Few things...
- Samsung Galaxy S II is currently on stock 2.3.5 with firmware UCKJ2
- USB debugging has been turned on
- Samsung USB drivers have been successfully installed on PC
- Using Windows XP
- Using SuperOneClick 2.2 with zerg exploit
- Tried uninstalling USB drivers and reinstalling
The status one the SuperOneClick is as follows...
Killing ADB server
Starting ADB server
Waiting for device...
That's it. Nothing else beyond that. And on the right hand side it indicates this...
It's keep stating that 'daemon not running... starting in now on port 5037' and it keeps looping and eventually does not move.
I've tried using different methods of rooting this such as Skyrocket-Easy-Root and Doom's EasyRoot 1.0 and the 'daemon not running... starting it now on port 5037' message occurs on those as well.
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON because the regular Samsung Galaxy S II and other devices go through just fine. I know it can be done because obviously other users are successful with root and I was too with my first Skyrocket.
The only advice that "I" can give you is to post in the correct forum. You'll likely get a much quicker response than posting in the development section. I'm sure there's someone over there willing to help you. Good luck my friend.

You use odin to flash cwm recovery tar......then flash the super user zip in cwm.....
The files needed and instructions are in that thread....read them carefully, and follow them exactly ....its really very easy
Try to do factory wipe again. I was having problem rooting after Odin. I did a factory wipe and www tried it and it worked.

Do THIS. I'm not sure why you were even trying all that other stuff, but this is the proper root and CWM installation method.
hello i9003 users! I want to root my galaxy sl but my pc is dead so I can't use the cwm method to flash the firmware and I used the update.zip method from the same thread and root via recovery mode, the phone accepted the zip but the ectraction stopped due to some cer. error. Please help me.
v 2.2.1 -
JPKB1.
yes u cann!!
Yes you can root without comp....theres a app called z4 root...it can do for u..but it is not preffered.....u should do from a computer....
please bro kindly ask this question in new bees!!!!thread in general section.......u got ur ans but a new thread makes forum confusing...dnt mind....hope it solved ur problem
I tried z4root, gingerbreak, rage in the cage no luck
Try mobile odin. It's developed by chainfire for flashing kernels and firmwares directly from the mobile.
Doomlord posted a how-to. So just search for mobile odin. I used it for flashing uc kernel
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium
yes mobile odin can be used to root your device.... but a pc is most preffered.
Mobile Odin requires root access. what should I do now?
you should use computer to update your froyo to gingerbread to install new custom roms ... all good custom roms build through ginger
I tried rooting via my pc, it was in hell, nothing works on my dino pc. The only app that works with lots of lags is 7zFM.exe and it can't extract files. Formatted that crap trillion times but no use
Ya this is interesting. Without pc how to root phone...? Because many times it happens that we dont have pc with us. If any .apk app would be there to root phone then it will be easy to use mobile odin (which requires odin) to flash new firmwares.
So there is no hope? Hacking symbian is easier !
I can't root or update to GB via OTA
cf root is the only way to root i9003.... z4 and super1click doesnt really work...
Hi...
I have LG P500 and the usb is dead(is not working and yes i have try to another pc). I want to root it and i have firmware 2.3.3 V20g official from LG. I have try Gingerbreak v1.20 , z4root and no luck... Can anyone help me plz...? Thanks...
When you say the USB is dead, you mean there's something wrong with the phone, and the computers are ok? The phone port is dead, but it will charge?
The usb is damaged... Is not working... I have try to fix it but not chance so i remove it... I place the battery to universal charger to charge it..
I understand your desire to root the device, but without the ability to connect to a computer, it's really dangerous. If something goes wrong with installing a custom recovery, for example, you'll have no way to unbrick it (kdz, etc.).
I would try to get the USB port repaired, before you dream about flashing things.
I am aware of dangerous and i am ok with it, so you know any way to root my device...?

I was going to suggest an adb WiFi program, but apparently you need root for that :s all of the new methods I have seen require adb . Will keep looking and will let you know if I find a solution.

Yeah, I'm not personally aware of any way to root the P50x without a computer, especially since we don't really have a stock recovery.
I am also waiting for rooting tool without using PC because I don't have PC.

Hello, everybody! I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Young s6310 and I want to root it. I have read about rooting, and about different methods of doing so, and I resorted to Framaroot, which didn't quite work. I tried many versions of Framaroot, and every single try had two outcomes: the Aragorn exploit didn't work, the Gandalf crashed (I tried restarting the app 5 or 6 times, but still it wouldn't work).
So Framaroot would be out of the picture. A quick mention: my phone had JB 4.1.2 as a default OS, and most of them come with GB 2.3.6.
I abandoned the idea of rooting it with Framaroot, and I saw another possibility in SRSROOT. Did anyone root his phone with SRSROOT? Are there any risks involved? (mainly in the rooting process, not what it implies afterwards) I have heard that this method is safe, because no flash is required, you just connect your phone to USB, press a button and it's done. Another method I found was the Unlockroot application.
What is the simplest method to root my phone? And the safest one, of course.

I have a Galaxy Nexus so I don't know many ways to root the Galaxy Y. But I have a solution to root it that almost certainly will work.
First flash or boot a custom recovery than flash the latest supersu.

Here's a CWM recovery for your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2328771
It says there to "flash with Odin". Not sure how to do that, you might want to check Google.
I tried flashing a recovery file from Djalo96's FTP, and Odin doesn't recognize my phone while in download mode, and yes, I have the ADB and fastboot drivers. Odin detects my phone while in normal mode, but when in download, it doesn't show me anything. Sheesh, I never knew it was SO hard to root a phone. I heard something about unlocking the bootloader. I understand the concept behind this, but how do I achieve that?
P.S. I tried rooting it with Unlockroot Pro and SRSROOT and it didn't work. I suppose it's because of this bootloader issue.
Try universal root method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2403230 it worked on my S6310N

you have the samsung drivers do you? you don't need to unlock anything, i have rooted mine with the same guide, and it worked, so if you have installed kies or just the samsung usb driver it should work. you dont need adb or fastboot drivers, odin and samsung drivers should be enough
Try flashing update.zip for sgy.... Google it
JUST PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED...
i root my galaxy young with framaroot 1.6

Rooting your phone is actually really easy, I haven't flashed any roms yet, so I don't know about that.
First check your baseband version in settings (about phone), it should end in either H1 or H2.
If it ends in H1, then just download Towelroot or Cydia Impactor. Towelroot is an app that will root your phone, while Cydia Impactor will have to be installed on your computer and will root you phone over a USB connection.
If your baseband version ends with H2, then you will have to flash a custom recovery (which you will probably want to do anyways). You will need to find a link for the version of TWRP recovery for the d2tfnvzw phone (it's somewhere on these forums, but I can't find it right now). Once you have the recovery file, you can flash it with Heimdall (cross-platform) or Odin (windows only). Then boot into recovery (power+home+vol up). From here you can do a full backup of your phone and when you reboot, it will ask you if you want to root.
If you need any clarifications, there is a lot more information in the forums, and I'm sure people can help you.
Also, if you ever try flashing CM, I'm pretty sure that you will need a SIM card in your phone in order to have data. Just find any old SIM card and it should work (I have not tried this).

@arnoue is 100% correct, do what he posted and you'll be fine, if you go for the SIM so you can use all the new 5.x and 6.x ROMs you will need to do a couple of minor steps to get data and MMS both working. I can help you with that if you can't find it.
Here is the d2tfnvzw TWRP for Odin.
d2tfnvzw TWRP.tar.md5
Here is the same recovery in a flashable zip to be flashed through recovery for anyone that has an older TWRP or CWM and want to update to a better recovery. Flash in recovery the same as a ROM and then find the reboot recovery option in recovery, then it will reboot into the TWRP that was just flashed, it will be retained after that, then you can reboot or flash or whatever you choose from there.

I've tried towelroot and it said my device wasn't supported. Tried framaroot neither of the exploits would work. Tried z4root and it would just run for a min then go back to my homepage. So I'm wondering is there any other way I can root my phone from my phone. Thanks in advance and if I posted this in the wrong place sorry....

Supposedly the kingoroot app(not kingroot) will root our device.
See this thread.
If it doesn't work then you may be out of luck without a PC.
