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

Nope, I'm still on DZKI1 = 2.3.5 . After flashing MyGkernel then flashing with stock 2.3.5/DZKI1 kernel, the yellow triangle will be gone and the CWM will be remain + root?? This what make me confuse Please, confirm that I will still rooted and will have CWM after flashing stock DZKI1 kernel over MyGkernel AND even after upgrade to 2.3.6/DZKJ2!

@yongyong0718, thanks for the reply. Some said (2-3 pages back) root will remain after upgrading to 2.3.6. But I won't take the risk as the i9100G is not mine... it's my wife's i9100G ...

@slade_clan, I assume you got black screen after the big GAMELOFT logo? Are you installing v1.02? You should find something like Modern_Combat_2_Black_Pegasus_HD_Samsung_Galaxy_S_GT-i9000_(Samsung_Appstore_18_August_2011)_v1.0.3_Xxxxxxxx_xxxxxx from the net. The size is 5.50MB. And you have to download the game data into your i9100G which is around 284MB. The folder of the game is GloftH085. Good luck.

You can flash MyGkernel to get CMW and install custom ROM (by juffo@XDA -first custom rom for G variant) from CMW recovery. If you care about the yellow triangle thingy at bootscreen then get yourself the USB jig (or you can DIY one) to get rid of it. The USB jig also can reset you flash counter.

@slade_clan, sorry mate I never try playing eternal legacy hd on the i9100G but you should just use google search. This is one of the killer game for hi-end android smartphone, there must be thousands of 'GOOD' result on google. Just pick the most trusted android forum and you should good to go...

No need to download the firmware (and you already on that latest FW).

If you just want to root then no worry about the yellow triangle thingy on boot screen.

But if you plan to flash MyGkernel and installing custom rom then you will have the yellow triangle thing

every time you reboot your SGS2. You'll need usb jig to clear that yellow triangle. But as I read on xda forum, they said you have to have older bootloader as DZKI1/2.3.5 nor DZKJ2 will not work with the jig!

Me myself still on 2.3.5/DZKI1 rooted and get stuck here not sure what's the best to do next

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

@ keccik

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.

@benny888

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

Anyone tried HC-kTool v1.25? It's compatible with G variant. You can go save

your Efs folder in the most easiest way!! kTool also have the ability to dump

kernel of your current firmware. I'm still on DZKI1, so anyone on DZKJ2

dumped the kernel? Mind to share ........


@4686nicky

That is the stock 2.3.6 = DZKJ2 from Samseng . Either you're on 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 you can root (+CWM).

Read the useful guide here .

And after rooting don't forget to make backup of your Efs folder with kTool!
