[Serberia]

[MrSPEEDY20]

can i install ROMS etc after this method??

[SIRdpoon]

@MrSPEEDY20 yes flash via clockwork mod and place the ROM .zip file on ur device.

[tdilauro29]

I never got the yellow triangle and rooting did nothing ... ?

[SIRdpoon]

@tdilauro29 if you have superuser then you are rooted. if not you are not routed and try again

[JnuTification]

It just says SetupConnection. WHAT DO I DO PLEASE HELP ME!

[SIRdpoon]

@JnuTification make sure you checked whats suppose to be checked in ODIN and nothing more. and remember to install drivers first

[SleepingPeace]

It didn't give me BusyBox for some reason.

[d7doula]

Then how can install cyanogenmod 7 ???

[SIRdpoon]

@d7doula goes to xda forums

[The786Comedian]

Unlockroot(dot)com

[The786Comedian]

Easiest way to root is unlock root(dot)com and use that. Beats Odin hands down

[VFORVENDETTA322]

Does this work for the Skyrocket?

[Digadogup]

i have a question.

Once you have rooted your gs2 can you update it?

[ratzkikimo]

dude, do i need to check usb debugging before flashing the new kernel? im about to flash it right now but having second thoughts :S

[tomween1]

Since it is different, can you make a similar video for the AT&T SGS2?

[Zues981]

hey, if i flash a rom, how do i get back to the original SII?

[greekfire78]

samsung epic touch 4g running stock EG30

[RaqeebLee]

[RaqeebLee]

[kijar]

Helpful! I was stuck after 'S2 Root 1.3.1' failed to open in my computer. Simply had to reflash file for firmware CH1 (mine's actually CH2) . Now I can use SetCPU again! Hopefully it's as good as when I was still using sgs1. I have JuiceDefender Ultimate but really I get dizzied with all the option! ;p Thanks for this guide again!

[greekfire78]

love ya man. just like the galaxy s captivate does this version have in the works a one click back to stock rom and if not is there an easy route to unroot and return to stock etc? thank you again ...e.g. odin 1 click etc

[Snake899]

Now i want to root it whit the newest version of this Lite'ning Rom v6.1 but the basebandversion of this is baseband I9100XXKH3 (KH3!!).

[showofdeth]

Could of gone into a bit more detail with what exactly we do with the usb drivers and kernel jobbie downloads for us "noobs". Unless I missed it?? Is there a step-by-step for this process? A DETAILED step by step...

[LikableDesi]

I have Kernel version 19100XWKF3-CL276555...If i install XWKDD_insecure.tar will it root?

[freedomfighter81292]

uh,i don't have that download mode ZIG,then when i encounter "yellow triangle" ,i just press power+home+volumn down at the same time,right?

[Royaltiezz7]

if i flash it back do they still know that i flashed before and how can i flash back plzzz answer as i am new to your channel and so far i love it

[bmwgtrm3]

07:09 whats the flashing light is it a reflection ?

[bigbadt444e]

OK josh I got 1 for u my s2 is no att. It won't let me text a photo I take with the front facing camera. At Times the rear camera won't work either, most of the time it does. I looked on xda and didn't find much what do you think

[vlogospheer]

From what I've read its pretty simple to SIM unlock once you're rooted but why not include that in a video since that's why lots of us will root. Thanks, great video.

[drreality1]

May i ask u to make a video for us on how to backup and restore the EFS folder pleaaaaasssssssseeeeee

[bjeyver]

Hey bro, thanks for the good tutorial. I just download the drivers from your website, but it comes with 2 files. do i have to install both or just the firs one?

[MobileTechVideos]

[mkeklpse1]

[danorambo]

[udonthavetoknowwho]

@MobileTechVideos Do you guys still have the tutorial for unlocking SGS 1?

[XxCrazy4aimbotx]

PLEASE REPLY BACK!!! My captivate broke and so best buy is sending me an HTC Inspire 4g and i was wondering if there are any rom's like gingerbread?? Thanks

[WinDroidTeam]

You forgot to mention that you can delete the yellow sign by flashing a standard kernel

[MobileTechVideos]

@WinDroidTeam Good point to be honest I didn't even know that yet!

[MobileTechVideos]

@MobileTechVideos Only thing is that defeats the purpose of this video :)

[toymeekai07]

hi is this work on sgs2 SHW- M250L??

[lamole492]

Thanks josh. Your videos are excellent

[DitzyDom]

hey dude as much as i love your videos i must ask , why d oyou use a jelly skin they impact the look and feel of a perfectly coool and awesome phone

[MobileTechVideos]

@DitzyDom This is only a temporary case until my official Samsung Black Vented case arrives from the UK. I bought it to just protect until that bad boy arrives... :)

[DitzyDom]

@MobileTechVideos ah ok i forgive you for that

[fastv812345]

So I can just use Odin to root I don’t have to use SuperOneClick

[cohort85]

[Ozxvideoz]

Nomatter what the vid is about i watch it from you and i always learn something thank you

[MobileTechVideos]

@Ozxvideoz Thanks! All for you guys!

[Ozxvideoz]

@MobileTechVideos We all understand that you work to get these vids up and we really appreciate it!

[sayo9394]

awesome vid :) this channel is now definitely on my top 5 android channels. can't wait for the other vids to popup

Is there gonna be a vid on un-rooting a phone, in case you need to return for warranty purposes?

[MobileTechVideos]

@sayo9394 Hi, to unroot, just visit samfirwmaredotcom and download the firmware of your choice for your model. Then use my ODIN tutorial to learn how to flash the firmware. After flashing, just make sure that the superuser app is no longer... :)
