How To Root Samsung Galaxy S2 at &t ICS UPDATE

How To Root Samsung Galaxy S2 at &t ICS

Samsung just recently rolled out to the Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 a new Ice Cream Sandwich update known to the community as the XWLPD build. For those of you who have just flashed the recent firmware, you may already know that flashing official ROMs such as the XWLPD firmware will mean losing your root privileges.

Luckily for Galaxy S2 owners, XDA Developers member Chainfire has already made an exploit that will allow you to root your phone, as well as install ClockworkMod Recovery using the CF-Root Kernel. The kernel is fully stock and is primarily based on the original firmware, with some added features. The CF-Root Kernel has root access, BusyBox 1.16.2, and ClockworkMod Recovery.

HOW TO ROOT HTC ARIA

HTC Aria Rooting Guide

This was orginally posted on XDA-Developers by gtg465x with credit also to eugene373 and attn1:

Prerequisites...

Note: If you're in Linux, you only need to do Step 4, Step 6, and Step 7.

Step 0.
Download and install HTC Sync: http://www.htc.com/us/support/aria-att/downloads/

Step 1.
Download and unzip the Android SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Step 2.
Go into the folder where you unzipped the Android SDK and open "SDK Setup.exe".
If you aren't greeted with a failed to fetch URL error, proceed to Step 3. If you did receive this error, go to Settings in the "Choose Packages to Install" window and check "Force https;//... sources to be fetched using http://..."
Close and re-open "SDK Setup.exe".

Step 3.
When the "Choose Packages to Install" window pops up, make sure the package "Usb Driver package, revision x" is checked. You can uncheck everything else. Click Install. After it downloads and installs, close "Android SDK and AVD Manager".

Step 4.
With your device unplugged from your computer, go to Settings > Application > Development on your device and turn on USB Debugging.

Step 5.
Now plug your device in to your computer. This is just to make sure the USB drivers are installed.
Once they are installed, unplug your device and turn it off.

Step 6.
This step is optional, but it may prevent an error later on in the process. If you've never formatted your SD card from a computer, remove it from the phone and format it in Windows or OSX with an external card reader. Then place the formatted card back in your phone, but leave the phone off.

Step 7.
Download the updated Root.zip from eugene373's guide: Root the Slide & Other HTC Devices*6/15/2010* How-To Updated 6/29/2010


Now let's get started...

Step 0.
Unzip Root.zip

Step 1.
Place the contents ("update.zip", "ota.zip", and "loop") into the Android SDK tools folder.

Step 2.
Open Command Prompt or Terminal and CD to the SDK tools directory.

Step 3.
Power on your device into the bootloader by holding the "Volume Down" key and simultaneously pressing Power.
Once you're in the bootloader, wait about 30 seconds until some diagnostic checking is done.
Press "Volume Down" to highlight Recovery, but do not push Power to execute just yet.

Step 4.
Now run your loop file from the prompt (either type "loop" in Windows or "./loop.sh" in Linux) (refer to ice3186's post for Mac instructions)
Note: The loop does nothing but show you the connection status of your phone. It's not technically required, but we'll use it in this guide.

Step 5.
Once the loop is running in your prompt, get ready to connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable, but don't connect one end quite yet. With Recovery still highlighted on your phone, you will need to push the Power button and then immediately plug in the other end of the USB cord.

Step 6.
After a few seconds, you should see your device listed in the loop.

Step 7.
Unplug the USB cable from the bottom of your phone and plug it back in. You probably don't need to do this, but let's be safe. Wait for your device to show up in the loop again. Hit CTRL-C to terminate the loop.

Step 8.
You should see a triangle/exclaimation over a phone graphic.
Hold the "Volume Up" key (note it's Volume UP this time) and simultaneously press Power.
After the menu comes up, use the volume and power buttons to select and run update.zip. (This will fail, but we already know that! Select it anyway.)

Step 9.
Paste the following command into your prompt and press Enter.
adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip (*OSX users add a ./ in front of all terminal commands please)

Step 10.
This is very important!! Have this next command ready in your prompt before running update.zip again!!
This is the command. Paste it into your prompt, but DO NOT press Enter yet.
adb push update.zip /sdcard

Step 11.
Run update.zip and as soon as you see a faint progress bar appear behind the text at the bottom of the screen, push Enter to execute the command in your prompt.

Step 12.
If successful, you should see Clockwork Recovery and you now have Su and Superuser.apk installed! You can now reboot your phone into the OS to verify. If unsuccessful, repeat steps 11 and 12.

Step 13.
This step is optional, but it will save you the pain of going through all of these steps again in the future.

HOW TO ROOT HTC ONE S

HOW TO ROOT HTC ONE S

If you’re in ownership of an HTC One S, you’ll probably be pleased to learn that it’s been rooted courtesy of – as usual – XDA developers, or, more specifically, forum member paulobrien.

We’ve got all the details in a step by step below. Please make sure you read every step carefully in order to prevent any mishaps.

DISCLAIMER: Proceed with caution and at your own risk. Redmond Pie is not to be held responsible for any loss of data as a result of you following this tutorial.

Step 1: Download the Superboot .zip file and extract the files therein [Download link over at XDA, with link at the end of the post].

Step 2: Next, you’ll need to ensure your device is in bootloader mode by turning off the phone first, and then powering with the ‘volume down‘ button pressed.

Step 3: Extract the contents of the ‘r3-ville-superboot.zip‘ downloaded in Step 1, and save the folder in a recognized location.

Step 4: Connect your device to your computer via USB cable.

(Mac users, skip to Step 6, Linux users, jump ahead to Step 7).

Step 5: Locate the folder containing the extracted files. Double click on the ‘install-superboot-windows.bat‘ file [WINDOWS ONLY].

Step 6: Run the Terminal app on your Mac, making sure that it points to the directory that containing the extracted files. Then, type in the following command:

chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh ./install-superboot-mac.sh

Step 7: Run the Terminal application on your Linux-powered computer, and again, ensure it is it pointing to the directory containing the extracted files. Type in the following command:

chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh ./install-superboot-linux.sh

And that – as they say – is that. If you followed the steps religiously, you should now have root access to your HTC One S, with all the freedom and possibilities having a rooted device brings with it!

If you’re unsure of the benefits of rooting your device, or are looking for more information on the subject, I highly recommend you check out this post, which covers many of the pros and limitations of owning a rooted device.

If you get stuck at any point before, during, or after the rooting process, you’re strongly advised to check out the original thread on XDA. They’re a helpful bunch of guys, and very informative, meaning you won’t be stuck for too long.
