Odin 1.85 for updating Samsung Galaxy S II repost link update

samsung galaxy s2 odin 1.85

Its not easy for a beginner to update or root Samsung using Kies software.
The process can be simplified by the use of the Odin software. Odin is an one click rooting software. There is nothing much we wanted to do to root your device using Odin software. The steps that should be followed has been explained in our older posts about rooting like,

Working root for Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 (Qualcomm LTE)

For sometime we have been hearing false news on rooting samsung galaxy s4. Lets bid bye to those non-working roots. Now XDA Elite Recognized Developer Chainfire have  figured out a way to root the device using his tried-and-true CF-Auto-Root process. There had been trouble for quite some time for rooting s4. SEAndroid was set restrictive on some firmwares (easily circumvented) and aside from that we had the mystery reboots.
In this method, SEAndroid was set to permissive on this firmware, and it doesn't suffer from that reboot issue. This is as plain a root as all the CF-Auto-Root's for any other Galaxy device, or other methods to inject root by flashing a custom kernel/recovery/system.
 This root currently works only on the GT-I9505 (Qualcomm LTE) version of the S4(XXUAMD2 firmware (dated April 2) for the I9505).

Instructions

• flash the included .tar.md5 as PDA using Odin
• Make sure that the repartition is not checked
• You should be seeing a red Android coming up, and your device will be rooted. If the device boots normally without the red Android, reboot into recovery manually to trigger the process

Unofficial CM10 Port for the Samsung Galaxy S Plus

 XDA Senior Member Doomsday94 has released an unofficial preview build of CyanogenMod 10.
The build is a little shaky, which is why it is called a preview.

CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.

Preview: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-NP...Z0k/edit?pli=1
Google Apps: http://goo.im/gapps

First time flashing CM10 to your Galaxy S Plus (or coming from another ROM)?

1. Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.
2. Reboot into Recovery using 2-button-combo
3. Do a Nandroid backup!
4. WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
5. Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
6. Optionally install the Google Addon

Upgrading from CM7/CM9?

1. Do a Nandroid Backup!
2. WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
3. Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
4. Optionally install the Google Addon

Upgrading from another CM10 Build?

1. Do a Nandroid Backup!
2. Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
3. Optionally install the Google Addon

Note: Nandroids of CM7, CM9 and CM10 are incompatible due to partition layout changes. Please be on the correct version before restoring Nandroids.

What Works:

Audio
Video (sometimes youtube crashes)
Receiving and making calls
Proximity sensor
Wifi
Bluetooth
USB mass storage
HW accelerated gui
HW accelerated video
60% project butter

Not Working:

headset audio
camera
full butter experience
many other things

As you can expect, this is definitely not daily driver material just yet. However, it provides Galaxy S Plus users with a base from which to proceed and a known number of bugs to squash. It may not be long until there is a more stable version for users to flash.

Flash AOSP/AOKP/CM9 ICS Roms for Galaxy Note the Easy and Safe Way

We have been using LP1 Repack as a stepping-stone between Gingerbread and custom ICS Roms so far. Now there is an easier way.

The following procedure was tested by thechints, vviz, abhisahara, and   chasmodo of xda developer forum and it works. 

It was tested on Stunner and CM9, but could work for any ICS Rom that currently has "flash LP1 Repack" as one of the steps in its flashing instructions. 

 The suggested method is safe sofar as it won't brick your device. You have a safe way back to GB via nAndroid backup or PC Odin if it fails.

The only tool that you need for the following procedure to work is AbyssNote 4.2 Kernel.

Get AbyssNote 4.2 kernel HERE.

Do not use earlier AbyssNote Kernel versions for the following procedure.

So, how to do it?

When on any rooted GB Rom:

First and foremost

Double- and triple-check if you have proper GB root!

Do not put faith in the fact that your Titanium Backup or some other root app works.

Do not use various root checkers from the Market.

Do that by trying to paste a file in /system folder -that's the only way for you to really know.

If you can do the pasting, you have root. If not, this thread is not for you.

Some users have managed to achieve soft-bricks while still on GB. They tried to flash AbyssNote kernel and got stuck. Do not let that happen to you.

After that:
1. download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel and place it on your internal/external SD Card

Also download the ICS Rom you want to install and put it on your SD card.

2. reboot to CWMR (press and hold volume up + home + power button) and do a backup of your current system

3. after your backup is done, stay in Recovery

4. go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it

5. go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery

6. you'll find yourself in AbyssNote's Touch Recovery (select options by tapping them, not by using the volume rocker and home button) 

7. factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik

9. flash the ICS Rom of your choice

10. reboot and let the Rom settle for a couple of minutes

Now comes the important part...check if you have root.

Start any Explorer with root permissions (Root Explorer, Es Explorer, X Explorer etc.).

Copy any file (a picture, txt file, MP3, whatever).

Navigate to /system folder

Change the /system folder's permissions to R/W.

Paste the file you have copied into /system.

If the pasting goes through OK, you're fully rooted.

Delete the file you've just pasted and set /system as R/O again

And that's it. Enjoy your rooted ICS Rom.

What to do if this procedure doesn't work, i.e. you don't get full ICS root

As we all know, our Notes are quirky devices. What works for most doesn't necessarily have to

work for your phone. So, if you fail to get full root:

Option 1. You will still have 90% functional ICS on your Note. Your phone will do all the usual stuff

normally. You'll probably even be able to use root apps, like Titanium. However, bear in mind that

you are stuck in the Rom you have just flashed - there is no going anywhere because your CWMR

doesn't have proper root privileges to flash things - DO NOT USE CWMR.

What you won't be able to do on your Note is

- apply themes and mods (because that involves flashing stuff through CWMR with no proper root)

- change DPI settings on your Note (you won't be able to switch to tablet mode, for instance)

Everything else should work properly. If you can live with that for a couple of weeks until the 

official ICS arrives, then fine. Relax and enjoy your Rom.

Option 2. If you can't stand the thought that you don't have full root permissions then

- you can try to reboot to CWMR, flash AbyssNote 4.2 again, and try to run a GB restore. 

This doesn't have high chances of success, but all is not lost even if it fails. Then

- you can use PC Odin to flash pre-rooted KJ1 stock Rom as explained by Dr. Ketan.

Note that, this will downgrade your ROM to KJ1, after that you can update it.

- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select the "SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.tar" file
- Connect the SGN to your computer
- Make sure "repartition" is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot TWICE
- Done.
Now that you have a rooted GB stock Rom, Install Mobile Odin Pro n update your device to any new Rom with Mobile Odin

After that you can flash whatever you like from its CWMR or use Mobile Odin to upgrade.

Rooting guide for the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note (SGH i717)

This is a rooting guide for the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note (SGH i717) that allows you to run a stock AT&T rom with root. It will not provide you with CWM as it uses the stock <3re> recovery in conjunction with superuser capabilities. Use this if you wish to root without increasing your Custom Binary Counter (Samsung Mobile uses a custom binary counter to keep track of any Modding of firmwares and kernels done by users of their phones. Any flashing of roms/kernels not signed by Samsung will trigger an increase in this counter which can be viewed by putting your phone into download mode). To unroot you must be able to perform ADB cmds which means you will have to install the Android SDK to your PC .

This download is over 500mb as it has a few packages in it: GNote Total Package - Minus

Odin3 v1.85.zip
att_note_root.zip
USB_Driver_for_ATT_I717_Galaxy_Note_v1_3_2200_0.ex e

Unpackage the download to someplace that you can easily find its contents. I used Winrar and placed it all inside of a folder on my desktop.

If you do not have Samsung Kies installed on your computer then the first thing you will want to do is install it or use the USB_Driver package that is included in the above download. Afterwards, plug your phone into your computer to make sure it is recognized by your computer. Always! use your factory supplied USB cable that came with the phone.

Next, you need to unzip the att_note_root.zip and the Odin3 v1.85.zip. Windows can unzip these by default. The att_note_zip contains the .tar file that will deliver root. This will be flashed using Odin in the PDA section.

By continuing on with this tutorial you acknowledge that anytime you alter your stock firmware you are officially voiding your warranty and you are proceeding at your own risk.

Using Odin:

1. If you have Samsung Kies installed on your computer make sure that nothing Kies related is running in the background of your PC. Check your Task Manager.
2. Power your phone all the way off without it connected to your PC.
3. After it is powered off, press and hold the Volume Down button and your Power button at the same time. 
4. Continue holding it until you are asked to push Volume Up to enter Download Mode. (If your computer starts installing extra drivers at this time then please be patient and let it finish)
5. Rightclick Odin and select Run as Administrator. Using 64bit Windows, I usually have to run it this way.
6. After a moment Odin should recognize your phone and you should see the top left box in Odin turn yellow and numbers appear in ID COMM (this represents your phone).
7. The only box that should be tick marked is Auto reboot. Uncheck all other boxes.
8. On the bottom right, select PDA and navigate to the unzipped att_note_root.tar file that you downloaded earlier. Make sure that it is a tar file and not a zip file!
9. Select Start and let Odin inject the tar and then wait for the phone to reboot.
10. Now all you have to do is make sure that you have the Superuser apk inside of your app drawer. Update it by launching it or by updating it through the Market.

Thanks to roloracer at XDA for putting this package together.
