[Q]

Need to root... i'm going right??
My Kies page says this about my Samsung galaxy s2:
PDA:KI8 / PHONE:KI2 / CSC:KI1 (HUI)
I've found in the forum this cf root "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_KI8-v4.3-CWM4.zip"
May i use this cf root on the device using Odin, or it's not good for my device? thanks in advance to anyone who may help me.

This need to be in the Q & A section in Galaxy S2 section look there and you will find the information you are looking for. But, one hint Kies is not used. In fact I have not ever used Kies.
Either way go to your phone specific forum look there to find your answers
Good luck!

[Q] Confused!!!!

I am a total noob..sry folks but there are so many forums that it only confused me more. I just bought a While Samsung Galacy S2 from Sprint.
Model : SPH-D710
Android version : 2.3.6
Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EL29-CL852097
My question should I be looking for information on rooting the phone in the Samsung Galaxy S2 4G.
Also can I get simple instructions on how to root. The couple of stickys on this forum say, you should have root.....
Just want to start from the basics,
1/ how to root the phone
2/ install Odin (or is this used only for rooting)
3/ CWM mentioned everywhere what is the purpose and when do I install
4/ I would also like to try the new ROM's
5/ How, when and what to use to backup the original phone before attempting the above.
Hope this does not sound so stupid, I will continue to browse the forums.
Thanks.

First I wouldn't flash anything from this particular forum as this is strictly for Samsung galaxy s 4g phones NO OTHERS!

Hello! I just root my samsung gaxy ace plus. What to do next? Thank's!

Hi
No one can a answer this. You rooted your device. Why? Decide why you did and that is what you should do next if it's possible. ?
If you have no idea why you rooted... You likely didn't need to.
I suggest you read up on anything you can and learn exactly what root is and how it can help..... Or hurt. And it can cause serious problems if you try things without understanding what you're doing.... So read read read first.
Here is your device section,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-ace-plus
I suggest reading through general and Q&A sections a bit for the Ace plus, especially any indexes, guides, tutorials and FAQs threads and learn what you can do. ?
Any further questions or issues can be asked about in your Q&A section.
Good luck!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 (SCH-R530) US Cellular HELP!!

To start, I love this forum. You all have saved me and taught me so much. Thanks
But I have searched all over and am not finding anything to work. I know that I'm needing some professional help lol.
Currently have a soft-bricked galaxy s3 us cellular (SCH-R530). Phone was rooted and I can still access CWM thru the VolumeUP+PWR+Home on boot. I still have access to the download menu. Other than that the phone hangs on boot on the Samsung Galaxy s3 screen.
Here is the information I have found And tried pertaining to this phone. My biggest hold up is that alot of the downloads have been removed, as this is an old phone.

Slightly confused.. So it was proper to start this thread in the verizon section with it being a US cellular phone?

As far as I can tell, they're the same device, and therefore because the US Cellular version doesn't have a dedicated section on XDA, it defaults to being here.

[Completed] help with straight talk galaxy s3

I have a straight talk galaxy s3 (sch-s968c) and have no plans to upgrade it. i really like this phone. i got a samsung gear live as a gift and like it as well. after wading through forums for the last two weeks, i have managed to root my phone. now i just need simple directions on how to get the android updated to 4.3 or 4.4. either one is fine for my needs. i tried to follow some forum threads on how to do this, but they are usually too vague for me to accomplish it. help. please.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The best place to get help is the device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att. They are the experts on your device. Your device is a variant of the S3 so you may have to work a little to find the answers you're looking for. But here are some tips:
You can usually find stock firmware for Samsung devices at Samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com. They are flashable in Odin. Always backup first, off your device, before using Odin
There may or may not be a root method for 4.3 or 4.4. Root exploits are generally patched with each new android version. Check in the forum I linked you to.
Don't be afraid to ask questions in the threads you've found. They are the experts. At XDA Assist we have good overall general knowledge but may not have knowledge specific to your device.
Good luck!
