All-In-One Galaxy Note II Toolkit Makes It Easy To Root, Unroot & Flash Recovery

Samsung’s phones are amongst the most popular ones in the Android developer community, since the company regularly releases source code for their devices to allow for easier hacking and development.

There are all-in-one toolkits available that root, flash custom recoveries and perform many other advanced tasks in just a click or two.

Install CWM Touch Recovery Or TWRP On T-Mobile Galaxy S II & Skyrocket

The official Team Win Recovery, ClockworkMod Touch Recovery, and the ClockworkMod recovery (non-touch) can now be flashed on the AT&T Galaxy S II Skyrocket and the T-Mobile in a single click or tap. Installing a custom recovery on your Android device is a vital and important step for those with rooted devices. The installation method is not always the same and varies from device to device, such as installing via ODIN (for Samsung devices), flashing via bootloader (HTC devices mostly), or flashing the file via an update.zip in the the original recovery. That said, one device often ends up supporting more than just one recovery, and these can adopt different installation methods as well. Given all this, it would be nice to have one app or tool that would flash the recovery of your choice straight away from one place. Easy Recovery Switcher, developed by XDA-Developers forum member starskyrob for the T-Mobile Galaxy S II, and the AT&T Galaxy S II Skyrocket is available as an App for Android, and as a desktop application as well. We take a look at how it works, after the break. Read More
