Hi Team
I attempted to root my galaxy S2 last night and got about halfway through before encountering issues - looking for a little advice before I proceed so I don't make any further mistakes. Here's what I did:
Using Odin I flashed using the following file:
http ://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2/kernels/ICS/CFRoot
I tried using S2 root to root the phone, but it wouldn't recognise the phone was connected.
Cause of the problem: I didn't have Kies installed. So I've installed keys, but s2 root still wont recognise the phone. Also windows tries to install the drivers when I connect the phone but the installation fails.
The phone is from Hong Kong, I can get more details etc if needed. Phone still goes into reset mode and download mode.
Appreciate any help on how to proceed.
Many thanks,
Matt
