Totally agree, couldn't have put it better myself. Intratech is a legend.

In a few short months I've gone from a total novice into a flashaholic thanks to the simple to follow instructions in this thread although there are many who seem to like to make look far more difficult than it actually is!! All that is required is a little patience and reading. Search, read, read then read again is my motto!

For information I'm currently running the XWKK5 frankenstein version rooted with CF-Root. I'm O2 in the UK and I have to say that it is by far and away the best my phone has been since I got it at launch with great battery life too. If I can restrain myself from playing with it too much I can eek out almost 5 days.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
If you mean the stock kernel: You need the stock kernel only after flashing an insecure kernel (for rooting) to get rid of the yellow triangle at boot.

If you are using another rooting method, you do not need the stock kernel at all.

Here the answers to your questions in short:

1. No.

2. Yes.

3. No.

There are several different ways to do what you want to do.

As I understood, you want to update the firmware / ROM from XWKI8 to XWKK5, and you want to use SpeedMod kernel.

Scenario 1:

After flashing XWKK5 ROM via Odin to your phone (non-wipe), then flash SpeedMod kernel via Odin to your phone, you will see a yellow triangle at boot and your binary counter will be increased.

If it is OK for you, then fine and you are finished.

If you do not want the yellow triangle, you have to do something different.

I recommend to use Chainfire's Mobile ODIN Pro (paid version from the Market).

Scenario 2:

You only have to root your phone first.

So, do not update to XWKK5, just stay on your XWKI8 and use the zergRush exploit method to root your phone - as described in the first post of this thread => see Quick Root Guide, Method 2.

Very easy but doe snot work with Android 2.3.6 on the SGS2 any more.

If rooted successfully with zergRush exploit method, then you can buy/download and install Mobile ODIN Pro from the Market.

This app is able to flash stock ROMs and kernels, and custom/insecure/rooted kernels to your phone, without losing root (when enabling the EverRoot option), without getting the yellow triangle and without incrementing the binary counter.

If you are not sure about to buy this app, have a look at Chainfire's thread about it => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1347899. There is free lite version, which you can download and test, but it does not have the EverRoot option.

Just use the Mobile ODIN app to flash the latest stock ROM (XWKK5) with enabled EverRoot option to remain root access.

Then you can flash SpeedMod kernel with Mobile ODIN as well.

Now you have updated the ROM and installed SpeedMod kernel without the yellow triangle and without incrementing your binary counter.

There are other method ... such as flashing the new ROM => rooting with CF-Root kernel => flashing stock kernel => flashing SpeedMod kernel with CWM Manager app.

But you will have an incremented binary counter.

If that is OK for you, then have a look at Chainfire's CF-Root kernel thread => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root

It is your choice.

Good luck !

Hey Intratech!

Is this modem compatible with a non I9100T SGS2?
[Galaxy S II General] Jonjungle:
If you can flash a kernel you can flash a different modem. Here's a link for the modems: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1277593

Just choose KI4 and flash it. I'm on KK5 with KI4 modem and SpeedMod Kernel. No Yellow triangle and the best combination I had so far.

I tried flashing the frakenstein version of the Kk5 firmware...odin says failed and flashing has stopped at around the 30% mark.

What should I do?

Switched off, then got the screen with the pc and the phone. Used a jig, went into download mode, and flashed XWK5. Its booting up now.

Hope i didnt loose my data.
[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
It could just be a corrupted download. you could try downloading it again, and if you can get into download mode try reflashing it.
[Galaxy S II General] madpete:
I had the same problem, tried 3 times and each time it failed in different places.

I did eventually get it to flash by reflashing KK2 and then trying again, not sure what the problem was though.

Man, freaked out for a minute. Flashed KK5 on the second try. I have no idea what happened. Its never happened to me before.

[Galaxy S II General] Damienoid:

Could you exact the modem and list in the modem thread for us to test?

PDA: XXKI3

Android 2.3.5

XEO (Poland): http://www.multiupload.com/XTRG43JVEG

I was not pleased with the battery consumption and would like to go back to version 2.3.4 (zto) Brazil. I wanted to do this downgrade. I wonder if I can put the old back and move some procedure to do this downgrade. How to proceed?

Thank you.

OBS: If I want to leave this installed 2.3.5 but do with it root with factoryfs, what kernel version should I use?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Why do you want to go "back" instead of "forward"?

Just flash a newer version to your phone, such as XWKJ3 or XWKK5.

Flash the whole ROM - I prefer Frankenstein versions from third post, as you can combine them with any Modem and CSC file.

And Intratech has described how to root in the first post as "Quick Root Guide".

For XWKJ3, I recommend to root by method 2 (zergRush exploit).

For XWKK5, you will have to root by method 1 (flash insecure kernel => SuperOneClick => flash stock kernel).

Or just flash a rooted kernel (such as Chainfire's CF-Root kernel).

Good luck !

KK2 is a little bit older than KK5, so you might want to wipe dalvik cache & cache to be on the safe side.. :)

Wiping the cache will not wipe my phone right? Been having wifi issues when bluetooth is turned on.
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
Nope.. reboot in to Cwm, choose "wipe cache partition", then in to advanced, there you'll find "wipe dalvik cache"..

Those to will not wipe your phone.. ;)

"wipe data/factory" is the one that wipes everything..

I'm not sure if you will get any problems when going over to an older Fw, but some people have gotten bootloops when they have not wipe cache & dalvik cache first :)
