I don't think so. This method should be somewhat general for froyo and gingerbred, so i think it should work

Until now only 2.3.6 users who reported success, but there's no non 2.3.6 users who failed either...

I hv updated my S2 to 2.3.6, but unable to connect KIES now ... may i proceed to ROOT it? blink.gif

Interesting,

People keep saying they have connection problem right after updating the firmware to 2.3.6. And factory format seems the only way to fix it.

Just remember, you can do a factory format by dialing *2767*3855#, but ALL your data will be lost

only way to solve it ?? cry.gif

Just rooted my wife's 9100G with doomlord v2 method. Thanks to loon78a for his/her guide. First 2 attempts failed on me. After installing Kies I didn't reboot my lappy.. that's the culprit. So my succession was on 3rd attempt!
Anybody had tried HC-kTool to backup efs folder? Is the latest version (from market) compatible with G variant?
So after rooting should I flash MyGkernel? What the step to get rid of the yellow triangle thingy? I just want to theme the 9100G and stay with stock FW (until best custom rom available). Oh, btw I'm still on DZKI1. Hope my root will stay after update to latest... Thanks wink.gif

after re-installing KIES must reboot PC? blink.gif

My case is I tried to root, but not successful even i followed the steps. Not sure why. I posted my log in previous page, do have a look if u are able to assist me.

For your case, i think is it because you are still enabling your USB Debug mode? Please disable it the first time you want to connect to KIES (pc). Else, uninstall and re-install before rooting.

1.Install KIES to your pc
2.Plug in usb to your pc to connect to KIES - this will allow the Samsung driver to install (PLEASE DO NOT DO IT IN USB DEBUG MODE)
3.Close/Exit KIES (Check Task Manager if you fully close the application)
4.Set your USB Debugging mode at your device (settings>applications>development)
5.Run DoomLord RUNME.bat (follow as per instruction on first page).

Good luck in your rooting.

Mine still no news of success. Still waiting for a forumer here to help smile.gif

You tried DoomLoRD easy rooting v3? And when you exiting Kies, are you

just exit it from the taskbar? Did you check if there is any other Kies

related process/processes still running through task manager? Because as

I remembered, KiesPDLR.exe process will continue running in the

background even you exit Kies from the taskbar. And on my setup/pc,

adb.exe process is also running and I terminated it.

To everyone that like to mess with their SGS2, consider to navigate to this

thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546].It's

about backing up efs folder with Efs Pro developed by lyriquidperfection.

Just wanna to share as I think this is the must do step to whoever want to

mess with their phone wink.gif

No need use such a complicate method. just install Hellcat tool - few second backup and restore

Use HellCatDroid tool - just download and install kTool.apk file. Launch the app and select your choice : http://f.lui.li/get_99_f13d.html

You can use that tool on GT-i9100G? I tried it but it said that my phone isn't SGSII!!! I cannot run the tool on my SGSII! I used the latest that I downloaded from the market (v1.24 I believe). Can you give me the link to the working kTool that you use?? Thanks in advance.

The Efs Pro is a very good program too. It can save to your phone sdcard or to your pc. You can try it also wink.gif

if you just update your firmware from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6, best solution is to factory reset your device. I did that, and it works.
