Hey guys ordered my GS2 today just awaiting delivery. Im coming from a rooted DHD im just wondering what everyones thots are on rooting the galaxy?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
from what it looks like there are many differing ways, one of the easier methods looks like flashing cf-root through Odin...

I used the guide by Chainfire to flash via Odin. Very very easy.

Use this, it's the easiest thing ever. On the other hand you can just flash a rooted rom like Cognition using Odin since it's already pre-rooted.
Go to Android Dev. in SGS II and look for Cognition rom 1.15.
Best rom out there.

Hey just wondering. I flashed stock Rom using odin. version 2.3.3 baseband xxjvo build number xxjvh. Is there a root for this version or a custom Rom like this version or do i have to flash older stock Rom to gain root access

You could use cf-root or fuguroot
Which is best

There is no "best"
What counts is your own opinion
BTW: there are custom JVH-ROMs
Sent from my GT-I9000
Thanks man. Much appreciated. Important looking for somethin similar to jvh as the battery life is outta this world.

Cf root is closer to stock. Use it if you want just root and minimal modification. Fugumod brings a modified kernel supposed to improve performances.

Not gonna happen right now. You'll just have to wait. The G2 isn't the easiest thing in the world to root in the first place, so its going to take a little time.
If you're ancy, just downgrade, and flash a pre-rooted stock OTA build.
Theres a way to root it already out for a while. Search cause that's what I used

I downloaded the rooted zip, did a backup, wiped and flashed. Couldn't have been easier.

The title of this thread is "in need of stock rom"
NOT
"In need of stock rooted rom"
Stock IS UNROOTED and if you're looking for a rooted version of 2.2 or 2.3.3 go back to the main thread list and get the toolkit

maybe if you would read the thread you can see where pcausey77 said I needed a ROOTED STOCK ROM and Im new to all this so there is no need to act like that....and btw stock isn't unrooted when you first root your running stock...

I got an A501 today and it is still on stock HC 3.2. I'm definitely planning on using an ICS ROM on it. Would it be better to do everything as is now or let it take an OTA update first? Or does it even matter? Still trying to find my way around here.

Well, it tells me my tablet is up to date, but that can't be right.
Gonna read some more and try to figure out what my best option is.

Yea, I couldn't get the OTA anyway. It's all a little different over here from every other device I've ever used. I'm assuming that the Afterota tool will do everything I need for getting ready to flash a rom. Is that correct?

I have a galaxy s4 on at&t and have been wanting to root and load a custom rom. I found the thread to load a root load a custom rom and by pass bootloader. I noticed at the top of the thread it has update and says with Build Number I337UCUAMF3 that it won't work. Does anybody know how to root and load custom roms for this build number or am stucking waiting for a work around. Thank you for any replys.
You're stuck waiting for a work around.
Could I use odin to roll back to i337ucuamdl?
you are on hold sir.
Could just root to get WiFi tether back.

Ya some of us should have blocked the update from happening....
I am sad to say, that there is no way back to MDL, but I'm sure someone is working on a bootloader fix on MF3, so hold for awhile.
Ok. Hopefully soon. Getting bored of stock ROM.

With my Captivate (SGS1) and my SGS2 I flashed a new ROM every couple of weeks... with the SGS4, I love the stock ROM with some minor tweaks using Xposed.

I still have a G3 here also, it isn't going anywhere either..
Not rooted yet. Was thinking of it for wifi tether. But is rooting really worth it without being able to to unlock bootloader.

You can at least do more than what you can do now, with root, you can at least mod the rom your on.
