I'd also happened to face the same problem as u,...

but then, I kill the adb process in my task manager, and then deleted the runme.bat and files folder, extract fresh new file from zip file, deleted and added the necessary file in the runme.bat file, and tried again... but i don't know whether it'll work for u.....cause it worked for me...

wallah i'm succeed....  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif

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...

play safe... i update to 2.3.6 than root it! icon_rolleyes.gif TQ~! thumbup.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

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.

then will lost everything in my S2? how to factory reset? cry.gif

Bro, dun need to factory reset. I just did this.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2104508 (Page 1 > Post 3 > Q.21

Resolution

1. Unplug the USB cable
2. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284# Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode. The good mode should be PDA. Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.

3. Plug the USB cable.

Note:

* Repair USB connection for any Samsung Android phone

After 42 attempts, my  stock ROM / Kernel 2.3.6 is rooted with Doomlord v3. Finally.

I always got mount: permission denied.

I have tried reformat phone. Downgrade with ODIN to 2.3.5 and try, upgrade back to 2.3.6 and try. Follow all the tips on Kies uninstall , reinstall, kill processes at task manager,  tried on 2 diff laptops, XP and Win7 ult 32 bit., Different USB ports, tried Doomlord V1,V2,V3, with and without the pause, extra pause, tried superoneclick,  Tried praying.

I am not sure why, dont kick me, This time the thing that "probably" did it is

a) Only left Kies with adb driver in my C.Uninstall myphoneexplorer, droid explorer, etc. My android SDK is in D:

b) After mount permission failed; the command will come out reboot.....and i had to wait for a long time for the ALL Done to appear. Normally I would yank out the phone and restart manually.Even if I switch it off, it will restart by itself.

c) This time, when mount: Permission Denied came on, and reboot statement at the end, I left the phone attached to USB and was doing my work. And I saw after ~ 10 mins phone restart by itself.

d) I didnt go into task manager to kill ADB.exe, rather, I just re -ran the batch file with admin rights. And bingo it worked.

So if u got chronic case like me, try that. If mount permission denied comes up. Let the command come on, All Done, phone reboot by itself and run again without killing ADB.
Never give up.Never.

i hv same problem, how to re-ran batch file with admin right, sorry can't get u! @_@
