Dear Members,

Can someone tell me / give me the reference to root my Samsung S2 I777 running on 4.1.2?

Basebadnversion -I777UCMD8

Note- I just want to get the root access only & don't want to flush anything

Thanks,
Android_lil

Android_lil,

I had great success using the ExynosAbuse. Follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35512626

It is pretty much as simple as installing the APK. I think I stayed on the stock 4.1.2 for about a day before I started flashing other ROMs, but I didn't notice any problems...

Have fun!

Check out the thread that was made for the new stock release. Apparently you can root with something called Framaroot. I've never used it but someone in that thread confirmed that it worked for them.

I am pretty sure they patched this exploit with the 4.0.4 udate. I don't think you will have any luck with ExynosAbuse. You will have to use more traditional methods. Start with the stickies in the q&a section of this forum.

I used Framaroot. Just download the .apk file, install it, run the app, and choose the "Aragorn" exploit. It will run, then tell you that you need to restart. Very easy.

Now that you mention it, I was at 4.04, not 4.1.2. According to my notes XynosAbuse was successful for me. Regardless, it still means my experience doesn't help the OP, since it was the wrong version anyway.

Thanks!

I read through more of the XynosAbuse thread and confirmed. Yes it works on 4.04, the patch was in 4.1.2. So, to the OP: XynosAbuse will not work for you. Sorry to mis-lead. Glad I could at least clarify what _won't_ work...

I have spent the last 3 hours trying to educate myself on all this stuff. I have an AT&T I777 running the 4.1.2 that AT&T released recently. It runs fine but I've read so much of the advantages of rooting and custom roms that I figured I'd give it a try. This couldn't have been easier! I understand that the way to understand if the root was successful, I should have the "Superuser" app which I do! The whole process took maybe 5 minutes! Thank you for posting this!

Well yes super user will be installed but that's just an app used to allow apps superuser access. That isn't what roots the phone or anything. You could have root access without having that app installed, it just would be far less secure because you need some way to regulate what apps can do what.

I haven't heard of any other way of rooting. Framaroot has worked for almost everyone though. AJ Newkirk has recently posted a kernel with no swap that will work with stock 4.1.2. See the OP of the AJK kernel and use the third one.

Yeah, I figured that. It's getting lonely around here, lol. But moved on to where? That was Phalanx's first post in a month on xda. I see you've been on xda though.
I haven't seen Clay in forever. Nick got a One but still posts here. Phalanx I guess is still here. And 122ninjas is still around I think. And Pirate still posts occasionally I see

How to flash aj kernel in stock jb or how to install cwm in stock jb. Where to find tar kernel for stock jb as i suppose all jb kernels are in cwm flash format.

Root with the framaroot app, then use Mobile Odin Lite or Mobile Odin Pro to install the custom kernel. Use the AJK version made for stock JB.

I doubt you'll find one. You could make it yourself. You need Linux, or cigwin, or it can actually be done on your phone if it's rooted and has busybox and terminal emulator.

I'm back around after trying out the dark side for the last few months. I got my real estate license, and had been using....an iphone....lol. I had to try it. And ya know, its not all THAT terrible. But there are NO customization options, and it gets really boring. So after denying my inner nerd for the last few months, I decided to just be myself again and come back to what I love. I missed it around here. =D
