i've tried rooting using doomlord's method, does not work. in the end, i've flashed modded kernel using odin, yes, now my binary count has increased.

i think the best to avoid binary increase is to reflash ur current stock ics to gb and root using doomlord and put in the cwm as described in the pdf. i haven't tried this yet... but as long as you have the cwm inside, u're good to flash custom ics dy.

or if you're not too concerned with the binary (until the day u nid to send ur phone for warranty), u can just flash the modded kernel with cwm and then flash the custom ics. let me know if you needed the steps i've used.

thanks to wira_lover for the steps previously smile.gif

hi leng, my honest advice is:

if you are on gingerbread 2.3.6 now, and have already increased binary counter, get it reset using a usb jig, flash stock ICS, and follow the steps posted earlier. guaranteed to not have that counter increased. USB jig for now doesnt work on the ICS bootloader for the time being, hopefully its possible soon.

for best results, try flashing stock ICS then LP7 , then CM9.

not LP7 anymore as we already have new kernel compiled from source, check the xda thread clockworkmod

I've read through many forums and messages and I just want to make sure:

It is not possible to root i9100G 2.3.6 (2.6..35.7 kernel) using doomlords method, because the exploit used there has been fixed in that Android version, right? Could you please confirm this?

Therefore, I have the option of flashing a rooted kernel. I read this is a bit more dangerous. Also, in "Full Guide for i9100G.pdf" it says "Binary counter can only be reset with USB jig and only from old bootloader (KJ2 and lower)". Could you explain to me the yellow riangle and the binary counter, how to avoid and what "old bootloader KJ2 and lower" means.  Sorry, I don't have DZKI1 and so on (I9100GXXKL4 and Gingerbread.XXLB1).

Thank you.

GB as wad i know latest is 2.3.6
you can root with doomlord if you are dzkj2 or below firmware version..
dzkl3 onward will not work..

what your version so far?

I tried to flash the kernel using Odin and superatmos. superatmos 3.3 works only with the zImage/sd-card way, which itself needs root as a prerequisite. So I tried 3.2, but no matter what I do Odin connects (yellow COM) but fails saying "can't open serial (COM) port...".

I used Kies before. I killed all Kies related processes. I started Odin as Administrator.

Using i9100g android 2.3.6, I9100GXXKL4, 2.6.35.7 kernel, Gingerbread.XXLB1.

Any idea?

a lot of those facing problem mostly i think due to either not performing a data wipe, or missing a step. cause seriously a lot of us who are not facing much probs ( other than the highlighted in FAQ) , now its already under nightly build which means it is pretty stable.

from the time the experimental was released i have been on it. and i cant imagine not having it. batt life is great. the available settings,themes, etc is great.

in the even you do decide to get cm9. please:

1.Full Wipe/factory setting
2.Wipe cache/clear dalvik
3.Copy GApps and CM9 ZIPs to your internal SDCard
4.Boot into Recovery
5.Flash CM9 zip from internal SDCard
6.Flash GApps zip from internal SDCard
7.DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
8.Reboot

try to avoid using batch TB install. make sure only restore APPS and not system stuff. if possible avoid restore completely. some ppl face issues restoring certain apps some dont. so its up to you if you wanna try. i personally didnt. i started from scratch.

Actually the camera failed issue can be fixed (for me) by untick use wireless connection at Settings>Location.

Quite tired as everyone ignored my method. sad.gif

Happily with CyanogenMod 9 - 20120604 Nightly build. biggrin.gif

Everything working perfectly smooth and stable for me. biggrin.gif I didn't face some user report issue at XDA thread or Facebook Group. My vibration is working, backlight can configure properly few second auto off. (I didn't try completely turn it off where user report it will off that two button function as well in latest build). This latest nightly build is 2x smoother compare with stock ICS for me, and extreme stable for daily use.

biggrin.gif Happy with my S2 G now. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
