I tried the "What you'll need;
1. Download DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit from here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582. I've used the version 1, but I think version 2 should also work........" Sadly, after the whole process follow exactly what is mentioned, it doesn't worked on my "G" version. Along the message has message "mount: permission denied <are you root?>", "Unable to chmod...", "failed....". until __cleaning, ___rebooting. But S2 did not rebooting itself, it just stay as it is......... I shut down the phone manually, then restat manually with USB connected, after restarted, it show, all Done. But there's no Superuser icon at all, indicating rooting failed! Any step I have missed, can help? Tq in advance. |

Finally, have my "G" unit rooted, Yes! However, have some experience to share here:
After fist attempt, as I mention in #665, a lot of "failed", "unable" etc. I tried waveweaver suggestion, install Superuser, success! Strange. Then I install busybox, NO, cannot, bcos it stated no root. More Strange! Then I re-do the rooting again using version 2, wow, everything goes well without all those "failed, 'unable" messgae, it even rebooting my unit after I hit "any key to continue" which did not happen during the first attempt. Then all busybox, re-boot apk all worked! Proven it is finally rooted. |

QUOTE(premk71 @ Nov 29 2011, 12:56 AM) Simple. Thank you for your help. Really appreciate.1.copy the framework Res file to ur SD card. Doesn't matter internal or external. Its temporary location 2.install root explorer .mount your system as r/w (see top of the root explorer. Got option for r/w or r/o) 3.using root explorer copy the file from above to /system/framework folder 4.there is already a similar file at that folder so you will be prompted to overwrite .click yes. 5.you will get some error that some application like market crashed. Just ignore and keep press your power button to reboot. 6.done Try it. Its cool |
