hi guys, Im experimenting a lot of battery drain, I would like to change kernel without lossing all my data .. so what would be the steps to change my kernel from siyah 3.0 to CF-Root-LPS-v5.4, thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eseregin:
Nothing new

reboot to Download mode, connect to computer, use Odin and flash cf kernel

Or use Mobile Odin and flash cf kernel.

All procedure in details on first page, please use it.

+1 for CF-Root kernel for XWLP7
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nystromproductions:
Any help would be appreciated, trying to root this phone since I just got it. Had no problem on my inspire 4g with odin. However when putting gs2 into download mode and clicking run on Odin I get "setupconnection.." nothing ever happens after that. I have made sure I am running program as an administrator and making sure I wait until odin starts before plugging phone in. Any help would be much appreciated and thanked!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lamensterms:
i would also like an LB1 kernel. 2.6.35.7-I9100TDVLB1-CL957836 dpi@DELL166#2

Can someone please let me know is there is on available - or another kernel I can substitute?

Thanks for any help.

Flashing stock kernel in ODIN in order to remove the triangle breaks CWM app, then it doesn't flash the CF-root KF1 zImage.

:(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Hrti:
It says in the OP that flashing a stock kernel will most likely not break root, but will most likely remove to CWM app or at least make it unusable.

Flashing a stock kernel is one of the steps needed to accomplish that.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] maedox:
Not true. I have flashed CF-root, then stock and finally zImage from CWM without problems.

What stock kernel did you flash?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] karendar:
@Chainfire, question for you. I love your work and enjoy CF-Root immensely. But I also purchased ROM manager from my old phone and wanted to use it on my SGS2... Is there a possibility that codeworx's version of the kernel/CWM be adapted for CF-Root eventually?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Yes, but it will probably still break ROM Manager.

I have no plans to support ROM Manager. I have stated this a zillion times. If Koush decides to fix the incompatibilities, great, but I'm not spending any time on it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DruNKfuX:
Just flashed it through CWM but how can i verify that it has actually installed?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Check the Settings -> About section. It will say what kernel you have installed.

I need your help please

I need help if possible quick for the next thing...

I am with a problem in the auricular with bad contact since I have pulling a little out for to happen stereo and also do not work in the service / rejection of calls (the same thing happened with the SGS I i9000 so that I bought and tested it and was 5 days in the portuguese SOS Mobile to be repaired)... Yesterday and for the first time while trying to use the auricular in the SGSII i9100 I was dumbfounded because of being exactly with the same problem (strange situation and even I already informed today the Samsung)... I tested with the auricular of the SGS I i9000 and the problem they maintain.

Since I am with the firmware KE7 and the CF-Root 3.7 for the KE7 and it wanted to go this very day to the SOS Mobile to leave the SGS2 to notice (the SGS1 was good after mending and without any substitution of the auricular) ... so that I ask your help on the quick way of being able to re-put the SGS2 in the last original ROM KE2 in the Kies and without being rooted, so in case of the SGS I i9000 when I took it to the SOS Mobile was with everything of origin.

I wait impatiently what help me to resolve this my request:o

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JJEgan:
Flash your original rom back via Odin or flash an older stock rom via Odin .

Posts in dev section cover all this .

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Fidalgos:
If I flash a KE2 via Odin the SGSII stay rooted? because I think the Portuguese SOS Mobile don't accept when rooted:o:confused:

Edited

: I flash with Odin the KE2 (the last original ROM on Kies) but I continue rooted and I also have the CF-Root 3.7 KE7 So... when I use Kies don't upgrade or accept my current kernel KE2.

Sorry can you point me to a way to return to a original KE2 (for garanty purposes) without CF-Root 3.7 KE7 show on About:o

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
This one is based on the Netherlands release, but should work just the same on the Russian version.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cammel:
Thanks a lot for the answer!!! So this cf-root is for the latest latest lp7 just released, am I right??

Thanks a lot for all you do for us!!!

You're a genius! !!!!! :D

Just flashed this one on

LP7 and works well
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] darkchazz:
LP7 kernel is buttery smooth, using wanamlite 10.7 :)

I'll even go far and say it's smoother than all custom kernels (siyah, neak, speedmod).

guess the samsung devs know what they're doing.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] crash_194:
Thanks for the latesy LP7 Chainfire, I have just bought your mobile odin app off the market to flash your kernels with, and I would recommend it to anybody it's so easy to use. Its also a good way for us to give a bit back to you for a change! :-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] diegonando22:
I doubt it, I have used siyah and speedmod, and sammys kernel is not that smoth, but I can say its the most stable indeed
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
how do you remove root? I can flash a stock samsung kernel, but CWM and Superuser are still there...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] woebetide:
Still problem with Mobile Odin Pro on! LP7!

Uninstalled MOP --> reinstalled,

Get error when try reading file????
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] darkchazz:
Nope. just, no..

I've tried them all: siyah, speedmod, and neak.

and currently they all suffer from microstutter when scrolling, very noticeable when scrolling through homescreens and the app drawer.

with LP7 kernel on the other hand, the stutter in minimal and barely noticeable, at least on my device.

What about BULPC kernel

Hi Chainfire I got a Vodafone Germany branded I9100.

I like to know which kernel is the best for me? Until now I was able to detemine the right kernel by myself and I never any iusses with that. But now with the new Update (avilable since a few hours) I'm trapped cause I can't find a coresponding kernel.

Here the Infos:

Settings -> About

Android: 4.0.3

PDA: I9100BULPC

PHONE: I9100BULP6

CSC: I9100VD2LP8

well I guess the right kernel would be a LPC one? Please correct me if I'm wrong. :confused:

So is there any chance that you post such a rooted kernel? Or is there a kernel I can use instead?

I don't want to twinkel around with it, since i got some trouble when I tried some diffrent kernel with latest darkyrom release. I prefer your kernels cause they are, at least in my eyes, better than the ones from the darky team. ;)

thx in advanced

martin
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] p3ndr4g0n:
Hi, Vodafone Spain also updated to ICS today with a BULPC firmware. I have the same doubts as Fasciana, can't find the right rooted kernel. A LPC version would be great, otherwise which version should we use?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Fasciana:
An Add to this:

I've checked sammobile.com and it seems like all the provider branded firmwares released today have the BULPC firmware as base kernel! :eek:

http://download.chainfire.eu/158/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip

the last one is the newer one. Both should work very well. There's no real diffrences between (correct me if I'm wrong). You might try the newer one first ;)

I have SGSII firmware version 4.0.3:

which CF-Root should I choose?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] joekeee:
I have a XWLP4 kernel and tried to root with Odin and "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5".

But after the phone reboots it's still not rooted.

Kernel changed to 3.0.15-I9100XXLPS.

When opening CWM Manager this message is displayed:

"This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer.

It appears you are running a different kernel. Various features have been disabled."

In CWM Manager it says "Current kernel: unknown".

FIX:

step 1) flash original firmware with Odin

step 2) flash Cf-Root with Odin

Do you have to zip the file Kernel_I9100XWLP8.tar.md5? or just rename it so it's recognized as a zip update for CWM

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
In CWM Manager app, just use the "Flash kernel" option and select the zImage file, which is in the tar (md5) file you have now.

Just extract it and copy the zImage file to your phone.

Good luck !

What is the advantage using the mentioned XWLP8 Kernel instead of CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5, except the disadvantage of loosing CF-Root CWM?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ba7rani123:
I rooted with LPQ-5.3 using odin then I flashed LPQ-5.4 using cwm, I am using ICS XXLPQ stock, but using cwm-v5.4 many apps crash and it lags alooot :o, also in cwm-v5.3 I get the updating problem which hpns when I update using play store and it fails.

I dont know whats the reason but I think the twlauncher crashes caused the apps to crash, first the app am using freezes especially when its loading and I press the options(light button) then the screen becomes black and after I get a messeage saying '... crahsed' and an 'OK' button ONLY, I try to press ok but no use after that a second message appears over the first one saying 'twlauncher not responding, terminate app ?' something like that and theres a 'wait' and 'ok' button so I press ok and the laucher restarts but I have to go and force close the app if i dont and I open the app again it carshes the same way.

Soo Please fix :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mguel:
And in that way you don't lose CWM?

thanks

PS: the advantage for me is to use the latest kernel with the updates on it if they exist. For others would be to don't have the triangle that I really don't care and usually keep the corresponding CF-root kernel, but for lp8 there is no cf-root kernel yet. Cheers
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
CWM Manager app (and root) will remain, but CWM recovery will be lost as the recovery is part of the kernel for the SGS2.

If you need CWM recovery back, just flash a kernel containing CWM recovery (such as CF-Root, SpeedMod, Siyah, N.E.A.K, etc.) to your phone.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Metallan:
For the first time ever my device won't accept the root >.<

I connect it to Odin and when I press start to flash it, it doesn't go past "SetupConnection", and then it shows "Can't open the serial(COM) port" and fails.

Any ideas of what be possibly happening?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] RTP:
You probably have Kies open.

My SGS II has KG2, am I suppose todownload the CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip and flash it? I know that's what I am suppose to do as per CF's notes, but, how bad would it be to flash something of V.5?

I have done it before and it worked, the reason why I am a little more cautious is because this is not my phone, it is my wife's and if something doesn't work, she will just kill me... ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yugisop:
XX KG2 sounds like the right kernel.

If it helps, I normally flash the CF Roots using ODIN3 (v1.85 is the latest I think) instead.

SuperSU seems to slow down the start/stop process of Samba Filesharing application.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] creativedevil:
That's what I use too and I have flashed my own SGS II many a times. Yes you are correct, Odin3 is the program through which I flash. But my main worry is that because this is not my own phone, and my wife has been using it for so long that she is very afraid now of loosing stuff... Anyways, thanks for the answer.

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

My 2 cents, I would stick with SuperUser, No offence ChainFire, but SuperUser has been used so many times, it just feels like its a part of Android itself.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ba7rani123:
Still no reply :( Please help. I like Chainfire's root I dont want to use another kernel :). Is this problem to do with my installstion or is it the kernel's bug ??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jonny_ftm:
I followed your advice. I cleaned SuperSU and installed SuperUser. Samba Filesharing was slow on first access request then it is back smooth as it used to be. Also, I noticed that Titanium starts much faster with SuperUser back

I'm a bit disappointed since I even bought th epro version of SuperSu because of the claim it solves many SuperUser slowliness on ICS

I think people having issues with ICS rooted should try to remove SuperSU and get back to SuperUser until it is more mature and check if it solves their issues
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bpodnar:
Does anyone knows or not which CF-root version is for ICS 4.0.3.

Nooo I did that b4 still it didnt solve the problem, someone said that LPQ is an old unstable version even samsung updated poland with LPS, So I think u better update, I will wait for the middle east version and then update to it :).

If u hear any additional info please tell me :). Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mgmate:
My recomendation is: 1. factory reset, 2. Update to XWLP7.

I did that and from a clean installation LP7 is very smooth, but not as battery friendly that LP3.

Anyway I did have the same issue as I told you and it was solved with factory reset, but I did do it from CWM as phone can not boot normally. For me this happens when I try to install APEX launcher as administrator and remove TW launcher....
