[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Here are all stock kernels of Intratech's SGS2 thread => https://androidfirmwares.net/PhoneKernel

But I can't find KJ1 stock kernel - only KJ2 and KJ3.

You can download the whole stcok ROM XWKJ1 from SamMobile (=> http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9100&pcode=ECT&os=1&type=1#firmware) or with Check Fus Downloader.

Then use Mobile Odin app to flash just the kernel part of it.

Good luck !

Please create a CF-Root kernel for XWLPT.

I know that CF-Root for XXLQ5 works fine to root XWLPT ROM, but stock XWLPT kernel seems to be smoother and more battery friendly than stock XXLQ5 kernel.

Thanks in advance!

I'm on stock ICS 4.0.3 with kernel 3.0.15-i9100XWLP2, does this mean i need to flash CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LP2-v5.2-CWM5.zip in order to get rooted correctly? Thanks!

How did you flash it? What was the output? Did the kernel flash successfully?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mightyvenom:
I flashed via odin in download mode, the flash was successfully and after the auto-reboot in odin it got stuck on SGS 2 logo with yellow triangle on.

What do you mean by output? Sorry for my noobish question :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] darth_mickrig:
Try booting into Recovery-Mode via Vol Up+Home+Power and then Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mightyvenom:
I just did this, no success unfortunately. I'm thinking maybe flashing latest official firmware XWLPT with the latest CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LQ5-v5.6-CWM5, as i saw some positive outcome for this combination. Do you think this is a good ideea?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Personally, I think you should flash the latest SiyahKernel .TAR in ODIN.

If that doesn't boot it then you're most likely not on the right bootloader.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mightyvenom:
OK so you recommend flashing SiyahKernel S2-v4.1beta6 via Odin, is this compatible with my 4.0.3 ICS?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yes its compatible with all ICS and JB ROMs. :)

That is not important for chosing the right CF-Root kernel.

You need the Build/kernel version number, such as XXLQ5, XWLPM, etc. (Android 4.0.4) => CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LQ5-v5.6-CWM5.zip (UPDATED) from post #8 will work fine to root your phone.

For other ROM/kernel versions (Android 4.0.3), such as XWLPG => CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5.zip, or XWLPI => CF-Root-SGS2_XW_DBT_LPI-v5.5-CWM5.zip.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] darth_mickrig:
There is none yet. Use XXLQ5 or any Custom Kernel like Siyah or Dorimanx
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shaq1907:
It is safer to use SiyahKernel or Speedmod.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Phil3759:
I just released the most common CF-Root kernels in a zip you can flash even from stock recovery on a stock unrooted phone. This lets you get cf root without pc or previous root (like in mobile odin which needs root).

Furthermore, it makes a backup of your existing kernel and can fully unroot without the need to flash a complete rom in odin

- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip

- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer

- Start ODIN

- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar

Isn't there something wrong? The downloaded file are ZIP and you ask us to select TAR... I just downloaded the zip and changed the extension to TAR

The process failed and now the phone shows "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"...

When i open Kies and select that it ask me some code from another computer..? I guess if i flash kernel well, phone will be ok?

But how..? Home someone will help me, phone is brand new, just received... Couldn't sleep tonight and just started configuration :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Extract the dowloaded zip file (with 7zip).

Then you will get the tar file for the CF-Root kernel.

That tar file is flashable with Odin (or Mobile Odin if you are already rooted).

Do not rename or change the extention of this files as they are correct as they are.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bubba949:
Really couldn't be more obvious.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] GoJo ^^:
Forget it, i indeed didn't sleep at all..! I think i downloaded the file from another cf root thread... It's fine now, i flashed the right TAR and the phone restarted, first everything crashed (home, etc..) then restarted again and seems all is fine. Removed the triangle. That's it... For now! I read that there's a danger with the reset factory, is that with some specific firmware or all ICS?

If you are rooted, then you can flash with Mobile Odin app.

If not, you will have to root first, or flash via injected CWM, or use PC version of Odin, etc.

Many options.

After flashing CF-Root kernel, you will be rooted, have SuperSU, busybox, CWM recovery and CWM Manager app.

Now I am running LQ7 and link2SD with most of the apps linked to the 2nd partition.

I know you are bored about this kind of questions but I want to be sure.

On 4.0.4 kernels who can cause a brick, have chainfire disabled the deadly cap_erase function And used a safe cwm on cf-root, or this function is still enabled but with a safe cwm? The problem is, in such a situation, any other application that have the necessary privileges can call this function and cause a brick.

Is this new CF-LPU safe for all types CWM wiping? Wanam has it used in new 12.4 LPU rom..

So these kernel cf root for PLT and LPU kernel are safe?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] darth_mickrig:
Yes, they should be safe. Chainfire has modified the Recovery to not invoke the MMC_CAP_ERASE command, which leads to our famous brick-bug.

Your PROPER version "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5-PROPER.zip" fixed the CWM Manager issues, as I wrote in my previous post.
