Chainfire,

Samfirmware.com just release this Singapore ROM: I9100DXKH2 ##	CSC = OLB	2.3.4	Singapore	August. eagerly waiting for your CF-Root for it.

Thank!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fireblade2010:
you can install kies and it will work fine with the phone. Not sure if you can still update the stock roms though once rooted.

This was a question asked before but got no reply. Few days later root phone and loaded different ROM.

i only install kies to get the drives so i can use thethering and connect phone as a thumbdrive to my laptop.

Kies needs to be closed when using odin to root your phone.

the info is in the second post this thread ;)

CAN SUM1 PLZ ATTACH the custom CWM by cf root ..i accidentally uninstalled it from root manager
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] wibbsy:
I had stock XWKF3. i rooted using cf-root using relevant kf3 image.

Then re-flashed back stock XWKF3 kernel and used jig to get the phone back to "stock" (but with a rooted stock firmware) should I need to return the device.

Okay from this stage, if i wanted to put a different kernel on there i.e. an updated OTA UK stock which

for sake of argument is called XWKF4

... What would be the correct process update:

1. Update vies Kies and then apply relevant CF-Root XWKF4?

2. Download XWKF4 firmware from forums and then apply CF-Root XWKF4?

3. Download XWKF4 stock kernel from forums and then apply CF-Root XWKF4? or

4. Just flash over current stock kernel (XWKF3) with CF-Root XWKF4?

...bearing in mind the phone at current has stock XWKF3 with root
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] timberwolf60:
me too, still waitng for it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
For anyone that wants to go back to stock, just remove the cwm app and superuser via root explorer or super manager. Then flash back your stock kernel via ODIN.

It helps if you have a USB jig as well to remove the binary count.

building cwm question

This actually doesn't have anything to do with any of the kernels here, just having a problem with a custom build of cwm, not sure where else to ask, if this is the wrong spot, please direct me to the correct one.

I have been running into an issue over on the captivate kh3 build, I have found some of the things specific to Samsung, and fixed them (like it not formatting /dbdata for a factory reset).

But, I can't seem to figure out why my build of cwm won't unmount /system. Can't restore from nandroid

I am obviously new to this, but everything else is working. Any suggestions of where to look?

Thanks!

What is the path to ifconfig with CFroot?

OpenVPN was working fine with an unsecure kernel + Busybox, but now with the integrated Busybox inside CFroot its connecting but no traffic goes true.

when I do

su

/system/bin/ifconfig it output nothing

Any idea?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] donalgodon:
Just FYI...

I flashed the KH3 CF-Root kernal over KH2 (closest match) and I got root and booted fine.

When I attempted to get into the custom recovery, I got there, but I could not get back out and NONE of the options were able to be selected from the menu.

I had to Odin back to a Stock ROM.

The power button selects, correct?

I had to looooong press the power button to get the phone to power down, but when I restarted, it went straight to custom recovery again and wouldn't do anything else.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BrandoHD:
The Home button selects while the volume button scrolls the options, the power button acts as a back button if you enter a menu

EDIT: There seems to be a bug whereby if you select the option to power off the phone from CWM Recovery, when you press the power button to boot normally, the boots back into recovery, I had to select the reboot option to boot into android
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] donalgodon:
Holy crap! Thanks. :)

I wish I'd known that. I think I'll wait until I can get a jig to try it again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Some program is being used from system. Try running "ps" from an ADB shell in recovery to see a list. Most likely, the culprit is "sh". Make sure in the recovery's init script (I think this is /recovery.rc on Captivate) you are using commands that are run from /sbin, not that are run from /system/bin. As stated, "sh" (console service?) is often the problem here, but the problem can also be ADB, which may also start a shell from /system/bin (consult your HEX editor).

Will there be a CF Root for Bell's MUGKG2 Kernel?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] aelole:
Hi

Just received my galaxy s2 so i plan to root it and use custom roms.I will ask some general questions as i am coming from nexus one and things are totally different here.Well phone comes with kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF4-CL280512. I installed windows also on my pc and downloaded odin and also CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4.zip kernel.

Is this the correct kernel to download?

if i root it with the above way i am able to flash whatever rom i want or there are roms using other way instead cwm?

Another question.If i flash the above kernel and after i want to flash a rom based for example on KH3 what i do?

Any backups to do before starting root process?

well thats all i want to ask for now. i would appreciate your help
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I've noticed the same thing. I rooted with a CWM kernel, and then flashed my stock one back on. This isn't something I looked at prior to rooting however, but I'd guess it's the same in stock form. 1000 is all but ignored by the phone; seems to like full throttle, but not 80% throttle.

by updating to another kernel would not wipe your device.

if you dont care about installing all the apps again, backup is not a must.

Thanx

so i guess the file i downloaded CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4.zip is the correct one right? do i unzip it in phones sd card or on pc?

is it important to install kies in order for my phone to have correct drivers on pc?

can custom roms modify efs directory? i quess i must make a backup of it first.

so is not a problem to jump from KF4 TO KH3 for example after i root my phone.is that correct?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] boog:
Man, thanks! I found what it is, but not sure how to make it stop.

it is calling tvoutserver, if I delete the file from /system/bin it will finally unmount /system. But, what is calling it in the first place? And it seems removing the file also makes the phone unbootable.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Unzip it on PC and then flash the unzipped file with ODIN as PDA.

You can find the USB drivers separately or install KIES to get them, its up to you.

Do a backup as soon as you have rooted your phone. Or not, whatever. You will still lose your warranty.

Its not a problem to change kernels after your root your phone.

Anyways you seem to be asking a while lot of questions for someone who supposedly had done this kind of stuff on another Samsung device already.

And lastly, have you not heard of google...how you can ask it anything and it will give you the answer?

You can backup straight after rooting because you will have CWM recovery backup options. Just remember what type original kernel was so you can easily go back to the way things were later.

First of all thanks to chainfire for doing this second of all I have a question. So I installed rom manager from the market and I wanted to download a rom but it said that I don't have clockwork mod installed but I do so should I install cwm through rom manager or not?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Its advised not to use ROM manager at all with CF-Root, that app is for uneducated noobs imo that want everything done the easy way.

I would suggest to download and install a ROM manually from many great threads here on XDA like the rest of us do.

FIRST POST:

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.

just wondering, if i want to stay on vodafone official, bukg2, can it still be rooted? i say this as at present i just want to install certain apps that need root but i am happy with bukg2.

if so, will this class as a 1 count on the binary counter? i dont think so but just checking.

will it stop kies offering an update?

is it easy enough to unroot if needs be?

So... you're saying that a XXKH3 cf-root kernel does work fine with XWKH4 firmware?

Can anyone please confirm?

Thanks in advance!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] firefds:
can confirm the above
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MeX_DK:
Yea it can. Rooting does not remove anything from the stock version at all. All you "basically" do is replacing the very core of the OS with a version that is rooted etc.

I cant remember, and why do you ask. Its not as if 1 count on the custom counter really means anything.

No it will not. As long as you stick to either just the updates offered by Kies, or the offical releases on XDA for the SGS2 then Kies will still offer you updated. Only if you flash one of the "frankenstein" versions will Kies updating be "blocked", but that can easily be fixed

Yea, if you want to unroot it will just be a measure of flashing both the original kernel and software to the phone again. But on that I am not totally sure.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
It will change you're binary counter and void your warranty.

Although you can get updates from KIES, as long as you stay with a ROM for your region.

thanks guys about voda bukg2 rooting. i presume i would use XX_OXA_KG2 being in the UK?

by using the jig to remove the yellow triangle rather than flashing the stock kernel, it will reset the binary count also. is there then any problem leaving it with the unsecure kernel or do i HAVE to reflash the stock kernel for some reason?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
1. Isn't that ROM already rooted?

2. I think it wouId be more useful to ask in the MIUI thread what kernel you should use.

Transmitted from a Galaxy far far away via XDA telepathy.

No problem, and Chainfire's kernel is not insecure... It just has a few additions. Like CWM, busybox and superuser.

cheers geko95gek,

so just to confirm, flash kernel XX_OXA_KG2. as it is only the kernel this wont wipe or effect the fact it is official vodafone, use jig to wipe yellow triangle and reset counter and then no need to reflash stock XX_OXA_KG2 and it will be more or less the same as completely stock vodafone but rooted?

thanks again mate
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tygoger:
All kernels that are not stock will increase the counter. CF-Root will increase the counter.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gspears:
An inexpensive jig will reset the counter, problem solved.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marc.knuckle:
as i say fellas, i have a jig which i can quickly use to remove yellow triangle and reset counter. as such unless there is another benefit of then flashing a stock kernel afterwards i wont need to. flash cf's kernel, input jig, job done.

the main thing i just want a final confirmation on is that XX_OXA_KG2 is the correct one and that it wont effect the vodafone firmware thus upsetting KIES and that using the jig to remove the yellow triangle is sufficient rather than flashing stock afterwards.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Custom roms or kernels will increase the counter. As mentioned above, jig is a very useful tool and I would advise getting

one. Even if you don't need it right now.

Flashing any kernel will not wipe your device.
