5. Install kingdroid
Thats all !!!

The most easiest way to root LS8 is to flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip through stock recovery
Advantage: NO YELLOW TRIANGLE
Steps:
1. Save file to external sd card
2. Shut down
3. Open stock recovery (press power + vol up + home button)
4. Install zip from external sd card
5. Select the file "CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip
Wait and reboot
For those who don't have external sd cards.. click this thread:

Flashing the latest siyah and philz kernel can also root this rom. To remove the yellow triangle. Use triangle away of chainfire
Goodluck on rooting guys!
To UNROOT?

Re: Steps: Rooting xwls8 4.1.2
Just a note, for the above to work,you need an external SD, not internal from the phone.
Edit: I know you have mentioned it, but many people like me, tried to flash it from internal SD.

hi
i am pretty much newb at rooting and flashing.
i flashed the official jelly bean on my samsung s2, now i want to root it!
But i have a problem, i dont have sd card in my phone, so i have to flash using internal card.
In recovery i only have :
apply update from adb
apply update from external storage.
appy update from cache
When i chose "apply update from external storage" i get E:Failed to mount / sdccard ( No such file or directory )
I didnt tryed the two other options, as i dont have what they do/mean.
Re: Steps: Rooting xxls8 4.1.2
Since u don't have ext sdcard.
Apply update from adb.
Click the other thread above.

Thanks a lot! It works perfectly!
No option "install zip from external storage"
First time rooter here.
When I got to stock recovery (fresh install of official spanish JB firmware), the only options that I see are:
1. reboot system now
2. apply update from ADB
3. apply update from external storage
4. wipe data / factory reset
5. wipe cache partition
6. apply update from cache
Is option 3 the same as "install zip from external storage"?

This method is very good, but is there a way we can unroot the phone if we don't want root anymore at some point?

Yes. Reflash the xxls8 official firmware via ODIN

Really easy and simple and it works ....but to add CMW do I have to re-root some other method or some other kernel or is there just CMW that I can flash as zip etc....?
Perfect!! Easy way and works!!!

Hi. Has anyone been succesful at flashing Siyah without wiping the device on LS8?
When I did I could not get pass the blinking Siyah logo. After two blinks, the phone would turn itself off... Any suggestions? Thanks.
hi i want to install cwm on xxls8, searched on google found something but link was down and no way to contact the dev. so do i have to downgrad in order to install cwm/custom roms?
Well, I could flash Siyah beta4. I guess there was some problem with the stable version...
EDIT: By the way, I flashed from internal SD card. At least in my device, when it says "external sd" in stock recovery it actually points to the internal SD.

All you need to do is flash Siyah v6 beta4 via ODIN. Not only will you have a better kernel then stock but you will also have root, custom recovery (cwm), cwm manager and SU to allow/disallow root apps.

If i'm correct, I think 1) actually replaces stock recovery with a different recovery (CWM), and flashes a modified (rooted) version of the stock kernel. 2) keeps the stock recovery and kernel and only purely roots your phone.
The advantage with 1) is that you can use CWM which has a lot more features such as backing up instead of the rather useless stock recovery.
Not sure about any cons.

What steps are you taking when you are flashing these roms? I haven't had an issue yet.

wipe wipe wipe..
if youre coming from stock, you must wipe data/factory reset before flashing the rom. aosp and stock are different at this point.
For the 4.3 rom flash, did you also flash the new radio and bootloader. Also, be sure that the md5 of the rom you downloaded is correct; happened to me a couple of times.
i also have trouble in flashing ROM. It won't installed and on the recovery mode it said, "no command".
Helppp!

Hi,
I have a update for Modem File. (Modem.bin) from I8190XXANR6 Firmware.
The File is taken from DTM I8190XXANR6 Firmware (German Telekom).
1.) Perform a Backup
2.) Install via CWM or TWRP Recovery
3.) Clear Cache & Dalvik Cache
4.) Reboot two times
As usual : I am not responcible, if something unusual happens or the Phone is not working after reboot !
Will check this one also.. .
