Chainfire, just to be shure...

May I uncheck "Auto Reboot" in Odin, so that I can just turn off the phone my self after flashing and then turn in on again with "vol. up + power + home-button" pressed, so that I definitely in the recovery state and not into android the first time?

Or is "Auto Reboot" mandatory?

Or in other words, how do I achieve it to 100% get into recovery after flashing CF-Kernel and not unwillingly boot into android the first time...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ozzyita:
chainfire is this a new build 2.3.6 I9100XIKK1?

My phone is:

SG2 GT-I9100P (with NFC)

Orange UK

ANDROID VERSION: 2.3.4

BASEBAND VERSION: I9100PBVKI2

KERNEL: 2.6.35.7-I9100PBVKI3-CL608158root@DELL82 #2

BUILD NO: GINGERBREAD.BVKI3

Regarding removing the yellow triangle..

(6) Fire up ODIN, and flash the Samsung kernel

(7) Boot the device with the stock kernel. CWM Manager will still be available.

(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.

Samsung kernel flashes properly (KERNEL_I9100PBVVKI2). The device reboots.

CWM opens, when I select the cf-root kernel from my original cf-root package (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-42-v4.2-CWM4) , it takes me to the default android recovery when it reboots, not CWM. What am I doing wrong? Am I using the wrong kernel? Forgive me if I have missed a post that already explains this.

Ciao, io ho installato il file "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KK2-v5.0-CWM5.zip" e sembra funzionare bene. Come ha spiegato Chainfire questa è una prova da fare:

" If there's no match and I'm not making one, try finding the closest match. You should treat "KG1" as a number, but instead of 1-9, we have 1-9, A-Z (where A would be 10, and Z would be 35). "KG2" is really close to "KG1", "KF1" is not close to "KG1" at all."

Ed io l'ho fatta ;)

Hi,I installed the file "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KK2-v5.0-CWM5.zip" and anything seems working fine. Like Chainfire stated this is a try to do:

" If there's no match and I'm not making one, try finding the closest match. You should treat "KG1" as a number, but instead of 1-9, we have 1-9, A-Z (where A would be 10, and Z would be 35). "KG2" is really close to "KG1", "KF1" is not close to "KG1" at all."

And I did it ;)

Have Fun(k),

Noob question, but I run this kernel (KG2). How can I upgrade to CF-Root 5.2 ? (Didn't find or understood how to) Can I flash another kernel like "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KP8-v5.2-CWM5.zip" ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] torchedlh:
Hmm.. Well i went ahead and flashed the KG2 kernel and all seems to be well. Is there a CF root for KDD kernel? I thought it was odd that KDD doesn't have any numbers in it while all the other ones do...Why is that?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] RorixRebel:
currently using kk1 it aint listed so ill give it a try with kk2

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tmcatalin:
advance recovery isn't working (XW_INU_KL1)

hi,

after flashing to KL1 and associated cf-root, i tried to restore the data from previous firmware.

even the menu include the option, when i am selecting it is saying "no files found".

i believed maybe was because the backup was with CWM4, but after that i did a fresh new backup and tried again. the result is the same:mad:

thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ksantoshh:
These CF-Roots kernals are for the International version of SG2 GT-9100 and not GT-I9100P, not sure you can flash these on the 9100P version.

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
Check via file explore that the backup is there before trying to reinstall, if it is there, then it could be that the data on your "other" fw is not compatible with KL1, so that's why it says "cannot find"..?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ksantoshh:
CWM 5.2 is included with the ICS (kernal build ) and not GB CF kernal builds. If you want to have CWM 5.2 then

1. Flash a ICS based ROM like I9100XXKP4/ I9100XXKP8 and then flash CF- Root KP4/ KP8 kernal accordingly

or

2. Flash ASOP ROM: CM9 Experimental which currently is with KP8 kernal and CWM 5.5

Hope this helps !

The cf-root kernel flashes fine with odin and it is rooted and it does show it's using the specified kernel. I just can't get the yellow triangle to disappear after flashing the stock kernel with odin and then selecting to re-flash the cf-root kernel with CWM. It takes me to the default android recovery menu when it reboots to flash it, not CWM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Not flash it via recovery, flash it with CWM app.

Yes, it says it is going to flash the cf-root kernel in CWM app from within android, and then it reboots into the default android recovery for some reason and it indicates nothing to the effect the the cf-root kernel was flashed back properly. I am not using Rom Manager, I am using the CWM included with the cf-root. I check and my stock kernel is still there.

Hi

For:

PDA: I9100XWKI4

PHONE: I9100XXKI1

CSC: I9100OXFKE1 (COA)

what kernel do you recommend?

XW_NEE_KI4-42: 2.3.4, CF-Root v4.2, SU 3.0, "insecure"

or

XX_XEO_KI4: 2.3.5, CF-Root v4.4, SU 3.0.5, "insecure"

Or another one?

Thx.

Both would mostly work, but because the NEE cf-root is for the same build number as your current Fw, I would use that one :-)

Busybox for the Android platform is a set of Unix tools / commands that has been compiled for use on your phone. These are not usually full-featured versions of the Unix commands found on the larger platforms counterparts, but they are pretty close and useful nonetheless.

Soft links to the various commands are also sometimes created in /system/bin or /system/xbin by the root tool used to install the busybox.

Usually if you use Titanium backup app, It will use the Busybox for its operation and will show the Busybox version installed. All the CF root Kernals from Chainfire thread will have busybox packaged with them.

If you are not sure busybox is installed, then directly install it from the market.

I did use the build you mentioned however, when I flash the ZImage file from the archive using CWM in order to get rid of the yellow triangle after flashing the stock kernel trough Odin (a process I have used many times before), the kernel does not flash. The phone reboots and I'm taken to a boot recovery menu. This is the process I normally use:

1. Flash new firmware via Odin

2. Flash CF-Root kernel via odin

3. Copy ZImage extracted from CF-Root kernel to phone

4. Flash original kernel via Odin

5. Flash ZImage file via CWM (Flash kernel option)

I have used the above process many times and the phone is rooted and yellow triangle is no longer there.

Is there something wrong I am doing? Any advice will be appreciated.

C53E1C74C4E3A25D4721E2A3854A1A07
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Yes, it appears that unlike other Samsung devices, a kernel flash does not "clear" the section of ROM before flashing. So if you flash a kernel that is smaller than the kernel you had before that, it doesn't boot.

Silly thing, the CWM Manager app actually takes this into account and clears the memory manually before flashing, but I forgot to fix this for ODIN :)
