After flashing a custom kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S II, a small exclamation mark is going to be shown every time the device is rooted. This is really because the Galaxy S II carries a custom counter, which will keep a track of the number of times a individual has flashed a custom kernel upon his phone. The only method to remove this specific exclamation work is to use a USB JIG, which in turn resets the customized counter to 0.
Steps To Root The Samsung Galaxy S II (GT-I9100)
- The pre-rooted kernel – CF Root – can be downloaded from here (Post # 3,4 and 5). The latest version of CF Root can always be found over at this thread on XDA forums.
- Switch off your Samsung Galaxy S II, and boot it into ‘Download’ mode. To do so, press the Volume down button + Home button + Power button simultaneously. The phone will warn you about booting into Download mode. Press the volume up button to continue.
- The phone will show a warning that flashing a custom OS may harm the phone. Just press the Volume Up button to skip past the screen.
- Once the phone boots into the Download mode, it will show an Android logo with “Downloading…” written below it.
- Now fire up ODIN on your computer, and connect your phone to it. Once your phone is detected by ODIN, it will display a COM port highlighted in Yellow color.
- Then Click on PDA, and select the CF-Root kernel. Keep in mind that the CF-Root kernel must have an extension ending with .tar. It might very well be possible that the tar file is inside a zip or rar file.
- Then press the ‘Start’ button in Odin, and wait for it to flash the kernel on your Galaxy S II. The flashing process will take around 3-5 seconds to complete. Once the flashing is done, your phone will automatically reboot.
- You have now rooted your Samsung Galaxy S II with a custom recovery (ClockWorkMod) installed, as well.
