Hey guys, my first post here. I been watching this thread quietly . I am thankful for the root tutorial. Its easy but coming from symbian background i had to read this many times properly in order not to screw up. Rooting went well. No problem.Thanks for the tutorial. It seems so much to read up in internet .fortunately i saw this post first before i got gung ho and flash I9100 rom.

I also purchased a USB jig from ebay. Got delivered like a week after i paid . I am happy to report that the binary counter DOES get reset to 0 after using the jig. My phone now says

Custom binary download : No
Current Binary: Samsung_official
Download information successfully erased

For the real melancholics:
The step to use the jig is simple. Switch off your phone. Wait for it to totally switch off... soft key also no more light.
Plug in the USB jig... it goes into ODIN mode and obviously the above mentioned description of binary.

Then I pull out the USB jig and press on power button for a few seconds. Phone boots up as normal.

To do just this: reset to zero, doesnt matter if USB debugging is On or Off. I tried both.

I think all USB jigs are the same, unless the maker made a hash out of making it. If it helps ur phone go into ODIN , it should erase the custom binary number.

cheers.

Not Odin mode but goes into downloading mode.
Thanks for the feedback as a few G version user say that the usb jig doesn't work for their phone. Hope your statement and Noobi3 clear ups this confusion :-)

Oh. ok... myself too blurr at 3 am..

I just reinsert the jig again.... i see the "green android monster" ( tell me pls if he got a name) , says downloading , dont switch off the target.... op top got all that info about binary and top most is a red line that says "ODIN MODE".....

that's why i call it ODIN Mode..

anyway, its just my confusion with terminologies ... doesnt matter in the end actually. Thanks for this tutorial. Now I have use titanium backup pro to freeze some stuff and using autostarts and juice defender ultimate, I have some semblance of battery life, at least now it can last like 14 hours ++

thanks guys

Been following this thread quite frequently... must say, I'm very thankful with TS for sharing this here...

Just got my White color G model fon few days ago.
I did rooting on my tablets, so I'm not really missing any...
But I might someday... if I can find anything frustrating on the stock fon.

Hoping to see MIUI ROM maybe for our fons.

KUDOS!

This is the first time I'm writing a tutorial, so please bear with me a little, key? I've had some requests and decided just to write up a simple tutorial. Although I must stress out that flashing your phone might void warranty, and I'm NOT in anyway an expert and I can't guarantee you everything will work out. I'm NOT going to take any responsibility if you permanently bricked your phone. Although my experience says, it is very hard to really brick a Galaxy SII.

PLEASE SHARE YOUR RESULTS/PROBLEMS/SUCCESSES/FAILURES

What you'll need;

1. A Galaxy SII I9100G phone. The G is required!. Check behind your battery
2. USB cable suitable for the phone
3. Samsung driver or KIES installed. But please close KIES before proceeding Go Google if you don't have one
4. DZKI1 original full firmware: http://www.multiupload.com/6L8BALT56F
5. DZKI1 original kernel image: http://www.multiupload.com/AS18CIXQNX
6. ZCKH4 rooted  kernel image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...52&postcount=22
7. I9100G PIT file: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Atta...post&id=2465180
8. ODIN 1.85 firmware flasher: http://www.multiupload.com/1VELKG3NIQ

Password if required is "intratech@XDA" without the quotes

The idea;

Update your phone to the latest DZKI1 firmware, then flash a rooted ZCKH4 to get the Superuser application. (ZCKH4 is compatible with I9100Gs, although, your wifi will not work). Update the superuser application, and flash back the original DZKI1 to fix your wifi.

The Steps

Preparation
Firstly, extract everything into its own folder. Switch off the phone and take out SIM and SD card. To enter download mode, hold down Volume Down button + OK button(home) simultaneously and THEN press the Power Button. Once you see the warning logo, IMMEDIATELY release all buttons and push ONLY the Volume UP button. You'll see "ODIN MODE" and the android logo. Plug in the phone to your pc and let the new driver installation finish. WARNING, please DO NOT continue if you are having problem with the driver installation.

Updating Your Firmware
Please follow the instruction exactly, otherwise, you'll probably get into complicated problems.  Get to the Odin folder and run the application. Click PIT button and browse for the "omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit" file. Click the PDA button and include the DZKI1 original full firmware. It's filename should be .tar. Click "Start" and wait until its done. The phone will restart and you'll have a new firmware. If you stucked on the galaxy logo (NOT THE YELLOW TRIANGLE case), please google for "Galaxy s2 clear cache". If everything went smoothly, you'll be up and away setting up the google account information.

Flash The Rooted Kernel
Please follow the above instruction again, substituting the DZKI1 original full firmware with ZCKH4 rooted  kernel image. Once your phone booted up, you'll be able to find the Superuser Icon;

user posted image

That's mean your phone has successfully been rooted! Yay!

But, still not done yet, because your custom kernel is causing your wifi to malfunction and the yellow triangle to appear. We'll address that by reflashing the DZKI1 original kernel image

Flash The Original Kernel Image
Just follow the "Updating Your Firmware" substituting the DZKI1 original full firmware with DZKI1 original kernel image

You'r done! Now you have a rooted phone meanwhile maintaining original firmware. YAY!!!

Try to not include in the second and third step, i think its okay, coz we are only flashing the kernel then

Odin flasher will work as long as you get into download mode. It doesnt matter if USB debugging is ticked or not
