QUOTE(1wildcat1 @ Feb 12 2012, 06:43 PM) Laptopdude, antt00, could you please write a short tutorial on how to root the non G variant? I looked at the link and I wasn't sure which to include and not too, once again I apologize for being a total noob in this aspect of the phone as I don't even own the variant for that phone xD I have wrote a beginning paragraph for the rooting process : Please backup your apps using Titanium Backup as said in the previous Post before proceding to root your phone, We will be using your the CFRoot Kernel method as it is the easiest and comes with ClockWorkMod, which is an essential if you plan to flash a custom Rom or any other packages. Just use the one from CF root » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE Instructions - ODIN (long)
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!) To get rid of yellow triangle afterwards QUOTE Getting rid of that pesky warning triangle during boot
It is definitely possible to remove that pesky warning triangle during boot when running a custom kernel, though you should be well aware that this method does NOT reset the custom kernel flash counter. The steps are not complicated, but they aren't easy either, so read well.
(1) Make sure you have CF-Root flashed (see the first post). You must have the "CWM Manager" app available.
(2) Make sure you have the same version of CF-Root extracted until you have the zImage file. (ZIP --> extract --> TAR --> extract --> zImage).
(3) Push the zImage file to /sdcard . It must still be called zImage !
(4) Find an original Samsung signed stock kernel (preferably from the same stock firmware you have, but it's not terribly important)
(5) Reboot into download mode (adb reboot download, or boot the device with home and volume-down pressed)
(6) Fire up ODIN, and flash the Samsung kernel
(7) Boot the device with the stock kernel. CWM Manager will still be available.
(8) Start CWM Manager, select Flash Kernel, and select the zImage from CF-Root you previously put on your SD-card. The kernel will flash and the device will reboot.
(9) You will now notice you no longer have the warning triangle during boot, but you are actually running CF-Root with all it's goodies!
(10) In the future, if you only use the Flash Kernel option inside CWM Manager instead of ODIN, the triangle will not return, neither will your flash counter increase. But keep in mind, that CWM Manager can only handle a direct "zImage" if you are NOT running a kernel with full busybox support (this is currently needed for flashing kernels out of .TAR and .ZIP files)
And you cannot use TB before you root.  Better remove that part. |

QUOTE(snigapoe @ Feb 12 2012, 06:03 PM) why not just seperate in different post for g and non-g rooting don't jumble up all together should be able to clear the confuse Obviously they will be in different post. But since its still the same thread, people dun read or know there are 2 variants and will still soft brick their phone. Better have as many warnings as possible. |
