rooting failed :-(

[krasje]

Hello ,

I guess i'm one of the less lucky where it doesn't work at once

I updated to the latest firmware ect , downloaded all drivers .

Everything went ok , until the reboot after Odin finished .

I tried to root after that whit SuperOneClick v2.1.1 .

Disabled : kies , antivirus , and firewall , just in case .

SuperOneClick ''hangs'' (not responding ) , phone does reboot i think it goes to the start up screen it shows the S that builds up from blocks and it keeps cycling that .

Download a Stock ROM from [ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG1/2/3/5/6/7, KH1/2/3/4, KI1/2/3/4/8 Download - xda-developers
Fire up Odin & Select the downloaded firmware into the PDA tab
Reboot the phone into download mode by holding HOME + POWER + Volume DOWN
Attach the phone
Click Start in Odin....

Good Luck!

lots of problems with the superoneclick method of rooting

go to CF-root page - chainfires method seems to work every time.

agreed, CF root is much easier, give that a shot instead of superoneclick next time..

[19.10.2011][CF-Root 4.4] KE*, KF*, KG1/2/3/5/6/7, KH1/3/4, KI2/3/4/8 - su+bb+CWM4 - xda-developers

just flash the corresponding CF root kernel i.e. if ur using KI3, flash the KI3 CF root kernel

make sure u flash a stock firmware first, like mentioned in post #2

Thnx for all the advice .

I replaced the kernel , i'm from the Netherlands , whit a GT-I9100_TNL_I9100BOKE3_I9100BOKD1_I9100TNLKE3 , there was a nother one tho it was from KPN , i'm using T-Mobile.

I got 1 step further so far , it boots ,and gives that S + the T-mobile logo .
Then it loops it selves again .

Should i try another package since this one doesn't seem to work .

Power off the handset, restart by holding HOME+VOL_UP+POWER to get to recovery, and select "factory reset", "wipe data" or similar (I can't remember the exact option). You'll have to reconfigure the device and reinstall all your apps but it should restore the handset to working order.

Yes indeed, sorry for any confusion.
