How To Root DXLP7 ICS For SGS2

I encountered DXLP7 bugs even before it was rooted. After rooting it using CF Root, I encountered the following problems so far after a few hours of use:

• Google Play Store force closes and won't launch. FIX: Download Google Play Store v3.5.15. 

Update 03/25/2011: Found no other problems caused by rooting DXLP7 :-)


A little reminder before rooting: Rooting DXLP7 will increase your flash counter and break its warranty. But with Chainfire's Triangle Away, you can reset flash counter to zero :-) It's incredibly easy and no need for a USB Jig. It works for DXLP7 or any ICS-based ROM.


Now if you're planning to install XXLPQ, don't. I encountered too many bugs on it. I'm not sure if it was because I rooted it. Still, I won't recommend that you install it.

How To Root DXLP7 On Your SGS2

1. Download DXLP7 CF Root
2. Unzip the downloaded file. You should see a .tar file.
3. Launch ODIN on your computer and select PDA. Select the .tar file you unzipped. (File name: CF-Root-SGS2_DX_XTC_LP7-v5.4-CWM5). Again, don't click anything else on ODIN.
4. Turn off your phone. 
5. Switch your phone to download mode by pressing Volume down + Power button. When prompted, press Volume up to confirm.
6. Connect your SGS2 to your computer using a USB cable. The message "Added" should appear on ODIN and this small box on the upper left must turn yellow. 
7. On ODIN, click Start and wait for it to finish. 
8. Once ODIN is done flashing, the green box on the upper left will turn green and say "PASS".
9. You now have a rooted SGS2 on DXLP7 ICS :-)
