My question was whether if you can upgrade from 4.0.0.2 to 4.0.1.5 the CWM recovery without having to repeat it every time you boot into recovery, is this possible?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tibrocks:
hey everyone! just bought a new SGS2 and first thing that I want to do is to root it.. but don't know which version to flash

mine says:

android version 2.3.3

kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100BVKG2-CLTEST_I9100BVKG2 root@DELL127 #2

so what should I flash? and what's the difference between ZS_OZS_KG2, JP_XSG_KG2 and XX_OXA_KG2 ?!

any issues with them so far? are stable, right?

Thanks a lot

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Honestly, if you read the last few pages the answer is there....

The first 2 are for 2.3.3, and the last one is for 2.3.4.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Use one of the of the first 2 KG2s as they are for 2.3.3.

To unroot later all you need to do is flash stock kernel.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tibrocks:

so I can flash any of those 2?

That's correct. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Codename_Falcon:
Stupid question, but how do I reflash stock kernel? Will I lose anything (contacts, apps, app data, etc.) in the process of doing this?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MATRIKS:
Can you make KG5 ver.

Thx.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Kernel doesn't touch any data.

You will need to reflash your stock firmware including kernel in ODIN.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Codename_Falcon:
Hi geko95gek,

I have downloaded ODIN. Where would I get the stock firmware and kernel? Do I have to pull it from the phone or do I download it somewhere? If so how do I do this?

I just bought my phone, the firmware is XWKF1, I want to flash Litening ROM 5.0 but I would want to do a nandroid backup first so I'll need to root. I only need to flash this CFRoot kernel to get rooted and recovery right? after that just flash Litening md5 file. But I read the first post it says something like this:

Does that means that I may not get the kernel used in Litening but CFRoot Kernel will stay intact? Sorry I'm new.

how can I get ADB to work with this kernel? with other kernel it works fine, with this when I type adb devices I can see my device but when typing adb remount it says, remount failed: operation not permitted... pretty frustatning as I need to push some system files...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ICDeadPpl:
I have the same problem!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
This is NOT an insecure kernel, CF-Root's never are!

You cannot use ADB root or ADB remount.

You need to use ADB shell and use "su" to gain root, and "mount -o rw,remount /system" to make system writable.

And you (probably) still can't push directly to /system, you need to push somewhere else (like /data/local) then move to /system in ADB shell.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
DroidWall: not sure what the issue is, still looking at that

AndroidCommander: see if "adb shell" -> "su" -> "chmod 777 /data/local/tmp" fixes the problem

RootExplorer: no idea
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Gilg@mesh:
tried that also but got this:

http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/4511/shot0001veb.jpg

maybe I do something wrong?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
You forgot "su".
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Gilg@mesh:
I get permission denied
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
That's because you didn't tap "Allow" on the Superuser prompt on your screen. You might need to reboot to get the screen again (Superuser is weird like that).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Re: DroidWall, try this:

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /
rm /sbin/modprobe
rm /sbin/insmod
rm /sbin/lsmod

See if that fixes it ... (doesn't stick between reboots !)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Gilg@mesh:
correct?

thanks, if I want to push apk file to system/app, what do I need to type from there? adb push?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
No... you do that outside of ADB shell ... i.e. just use adb push as normal. But you wont be able to push to /system/app, probably, you'd do something like:

adb push somefile.apk /data/local/somefile.apk
adb shell
su
mv /data/local/somefile.apk /system/app/somefile.apk
exit

@cf i did a factory data reset using the phone not cw i forgot id installed it lol.thing is it propa screwed the phone up bootloop. Did a second reset using cw but no look.flashed a stock rom but no look. Had to boot into stock recovery then do a factory data rest clean cache then it booted. Seems like a lot of hasle for one mistake perhaps you could disable the privacy factory data reset button. Is this possible thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
That's a ROM feature though...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Flashing Litening ROM should remove the CF-Root kernel and replace with the Speedmod kernel. If it doesn't you can always flash that separately.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] radiobicho:
Chainfire, where are you, man? We need CF-Root for XXKG5. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
I'm sure he has bigger things going on at the moment.

Since KG5, KG6 and KG7 are essentially the same rom, you should use KG6 CF-Root kernel. It works fine with all of them.

Hello to every one.

I have a SG2 (stock standard) and would like to run the Lightning rom.

Model no: GT-9100

Android ver: 2.3.3 currently no update available for my country (south Africa).

Baseband: I900XXKE7

Kernal : 2.6.35.7-I900XWKF3-CL276555

root@DELL101 #2

Build no : GINGERBREAD.XWKF3

I am following the advise of Chainfire regarding CF-Root v4.1 and just want to make sure of the following:

Chainfire said "What matters most (KG1) in this case, is in bold. Try to find the matching file under downloads:"

I assume in my case this is close "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4.zip"

I note that the Lightning rom is Based on the offical XXKG6 (as off 2-8-2011) Firmware and now I`m not sure if I can continue to root and still run the Lightning rom.

Since the lightning rom use the official XXKG6 Firmware would it be advisable to get the closest rom to that for rooting and then flashing the rom via Odin3 ?

I would like to make a backup of my current (official) to revert back to if necessary.

Chainfire said "... Manage/perform your backup/restores from CWM directly..." I believe this is possible then can some one please confirm.

I know that I must read and perform a search before asking noobish questions but I would rather get flamed for being a noob then bricking my phone. I have 4 pages open in Opera and about 30 threads in total and I`m getting more and more lost.

Thanks go to Chainfire and every one who contribute to this tread.

yes i have already done that but it does not work meaning it does go into download mode but i still get stuck on odin, it registers in yellow on odin as com 3 but just keeps getting stuck at setup connections. ive reinstalled drivers too

actually tygoger what do you mean by select ok? i have it in download mode but i dont understand when you say select ok?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Downloading should show on the screen .

Also check there are no Kies processes running. Odin doesnt like Kies.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tygoger:
After the 3 button combo (Volume down + Home button + Power button) you have to confirm "ok" to get in the download mode.

But you said that it display "download mode" (at the top of the screen) so your in download mode!

Weird that it won't flash.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] muggs786:
ok im starting to think i may not be in download mode, i dont confirm ok all that haappens is some menu comes up in blue telling me how the keys function and theres also options for factory wipe/cache wipe/reboot. and then under that is some yellow text.

i do not have to confirm ok to go into download mode

i dont have any kies running, ive tried with kies and without. still gets stuck

i think the mode im in is recovery mode

oh **** sorry guys ive been pressing volume up instead of down, let me go try now to see if it works

thanks guys im a right idiot all is well now thankyou!!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tygoger:
Glad it is working now!! Happy flashing.

Edit***

Btw, that was Recovery mode you were in. (Volume up + Home button + Power button)

Hi everyone

Installed the stock Vodafone Australia kernel and using the steps outlined in post #2 of to remove the yellow triangle.

At step (8) Start CWM Manager, select Flash Kernel, and select the zImage from CF-Root you previously put on your SD-card. The kernel will flash and the device will reboot.

on reboot the kernel update starts and i get the following error:

"can't access to '/system/csc/VAU/system'" which i assume didnt update the kernel correctly.

I still manage to have root access, however ClockWorkMod is no longer functional

Anyone else experience this? and how do i fix this so that i have CFRoot, ClockWOrkMod functional and no yellow triangle at startup?

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Reyland:
What i mean is,i dont think the the phone is unrooted because apps the need root are working fine like titanium backup and the superuser app,so i dont think that flashing the stock kernel with Odin does not unroot. or im missing something?:(

Telstra Australia GT-I9100TDVKF4 kernel

Flashed the stock vodafone australia DUKF4 kernel today to remove the triangle without any problems.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] russty1978:
I flashed this on my Telstra I9100T without any dramas at all.

If CWM is not working i think you will need to reflash CF-root.

I used DUKF4 V4

Is it possible that you extracted the zImage from stock kernel instead of the cf-root v4 kernel.

Not sure if that would cause the problem but just a thought.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cmcole101:
This, too, happens to me. I've just upgraded to XXKG6, flashed CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG6-v4.1-CWM4.tar, which only contains zImage of course, and rooted using SuperOneClick 1.95. Viola! ClockWorkMod 4.0.0.2 appears in applications and runs correctly. I can reboot into Recovery mode and CWM4 is where it goes. However, the fun little yellow triangle warning appears during normal reboot.

Now, if I flash the stock kernel, Kernel_I9100XXKG6.tar, the yellow triangle disappears, and CWM4 is still available and accessible in apps after reboot, but if I want to boot into Recovery mode, it returns to the standard Manual Mode and CWM4 will not load due to "unable to access /system/csc/ITV/system folder." I've put this folder in root on sdcard with no success. The only way to keep CWM4 for Recovery mode is to keep the yellow triangle. This additionally happened on the previous two ROMs, XXKG2 & XXKG3.

I've just decided to accept the yellow triangle in lieu of having CWM4 Recovery usable. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ithehappy:
@Chainfire,

Is there any chance that in future your kernels will support the BLN compatibility? I don't like to move to another kernel just for BLN, wish I could stick with yours.

Thanks in advance.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] russty1978:
After you flash CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG6-v4.1-CWM4.tar using ODIN you have rooted your phone. You should find the Clockwork Manager App (CWM) in your applications after flashing. This is the modified Clockword mod app for I9100.

You do not need to use super one click.

As taken from 1st post

ClockworkMod

CF-Root includes a custom version of CWM4. I always make custom versions, as the originals often do not take some Samsung specific things into account.

CF-Root/CWM4 is NOT compatible with ROM Manager! Manage/perform your backup/restores from CWM directly or using the CWM Manager application included with CF-Root

CWM Manager

Because of incompatibility with ROM Manager, I wrote and included "CWM Manager". This is a new app (as of March 30, 2011). You can find it under Applications -> CWM. It is much faster to use than manually booting into CWM and selecting these options.
