dman same problem.

I know it's commun, I had this problem a year an half ago, but I dont remember how I repair it.

I dont know what's wrong with this phone, but everytime I tried to flash a new rom, I have a problem.

Witch I dont have on my other devices (nexus s, desirez, milestone, desire, kindle fire)

Does this cf root work with galaxy s3 mini?

Edit: its ok now, ive sorted what I needed to sort out :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
No, this CF-Root kernel is for SGS2 (GT-I9100) only.

For S3 mini, try this instead.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sadekmefti:
Just re-flash the right Kernel and it will be OK !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sadekmefti:
I just got saved from a Bootloop by flashing CF-Root for XXKPA !

You're so amazing man, thanks a lot :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] oVeRdOsE.:
nah wasn't this. I tried with different kernel, even with the stock one.

It was because I was doing an JB upgrade over GB, even with the 3 step wipe I had the stuck logo at boot.

I had to flash a script (ROMNUKE)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pujdo1:
hello,

i flashed on my samsung galaxy s2 i9100 with stock android 4.1.2 only the recovery but now my smartphone wont get past the boot screen with the yellow triangle. it wont boot.

i think i made a mistake because i only flashed with odin the clockworkmod recovery. does this cf root method work with stock android 4.1.2 ?

because i think my phone is "missing" the custom kernel or so.

i need the phone numbers etc from my phone and maybe i can just reflash the right recovery etc and the phone would work again.

but i first want to ask before i make a other mistake.

As Chainfire does not update CF-Root kernel for SGS2 any more, have a look here for an alternative rooted, stock kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] William1000:
I rooted 2 phones successfully, but messed up on a third one. Let's just say I'm an idiot. Anyway, I didn't check the kernel version and used the wrong file. Now I only get as far as the yellow triangle and it freezes. I can get into download mode, but not recovery. Can anybody tell me how to recover without knowing the kernel version, please?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Re-flash your ROM.

It contains the default / stock kernel (I assume), so you won't have root but hopefully a working phone.

Then you can check in Settings > About phone > Build number what version you have.

BTW, if it's a JB ROM (Android 4.1.2), then you should use PhilZ kernel for rooting.

Good luck !

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
You should flash a kernel for your device ... not for the international version of the SGS2 (GT-I9100).

Maybe it's better to flash the stock kernel/ROM again and use another rooting method.

What do you want/need? Root access or CWM recovery or both?

BTW, CF-Root kernel is no longer updated AFAIK ... so there are no JB versions of this kernel.

You can try this ... but no warranty that it works on your phone.

BTW, the baseband version is not important. Check the build version instead if you are looking for a rooted kernel with permantent CWM recovery.

I had rooted my phone with "SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7" kernel , cynogenmod 4.2.2 running before and recently my brother was learning how to root/flash on my phone(I being not in town) and he was unsuccessful with it and so it got bricked.He gave it to the service centre and got it repaired.

The problem is now the kernel version says:

"3.0.15-1056084 dpi@HP16 #3"

How do i got about it?

Earlier version was XWLP7

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Better you post the build number version from Settings > About phone > Build number.

And keep in mind that Chainfire does no longer provide new version of CF-Root kernel.

So you may have to check PhilZ kernel instead.

(There is also a version for GT-I9100P.)

hi, I'm having a spot of trouble and would appreciate any advice, please...

I'm trying to fix an S2 for a friend, who got it from another friend... I'm familiar enough with S1/Note, but have never fiddled with an S2 before.

It doesn't boot up, just sits at the splash screen, with a yellow triangle. Does not boot to Recovery, just goes blank.

I can get to Download mode, which indicates a dozen or so custom downloads, and that a custom is current (which doesnst boot).

I thought I would just install one of these kernels, to get a working Recovery, and then I can manage. But I'm having some trouble...

I'm using Heimdall 1.4.0 on Linux. I chose CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPY-v5.6-CWM5, as a random recent example, extracted the kernel, and then:

sudo heimdall flash --KERNEL zImage --no-reboot

which fails:

$ sudo heimdall flash --KERNEL zImage --no-reboot
Heimdall v1.4.0

thanks, but I assume that's some Windows thing? Not so good for me on Linux :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
1. Redownload the kernel file.

Maybe you have a corrupt file.

Check md5 sum too ... just to be sure.

2. Check that the kernel fits/supports your current ROM.

If you are not sure, you may have to flash a stock ROM first ... than the corresponding kernel.

3. If you cannot find the corresponding cf-root kernel, search for PhilZ kernel. It's also a rooted stock kernel ... but for newer stock ROM versions.

Nope it works on linux too and is actually a couple less steps on linux because you don't need 7zip or an extractor program. I run Ubuntu and have done it myself. Here's a video by qbking77 on how to install a oneclick.exe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rnk617FffXY

I'm now wondering... would this be the symptom of a bricked device? i.e. the eMMC brick?

It came to me after the owner's son had been attempting to install custom ROMs, so it's entirely possible, I suppose.

Or would a bricked device behave differently? [Note: I can get to download, but not recovery]

I downloaded the PIT file from the device, and compared, and it matches a "proper" 16GB i9100.

thanks much indeed.

Open dialer on your phone. Enter *#1234#. This will display some information about your current system and firmware version.

Check what is written for PDA. That is your current ROM version.

(Alternatively you can open Settings menu > About phone > and check Build version/number.)

This is what you have to look for to find the corresponding CF-Root kernel.

If you can't find it yourself, just post your PDA/Build version number here.

I hope the Kernel is compatible with PacMan-ROM?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
As Chainfire has not updated CF-Root kernel for the SGS2 for the last stock ROM/kernel versions, you may want to check PhilZ kernel instead.

It's also a rooted stock kernel with a nice touch CWM recovery.

Just download corresponding PhilZ kernel zip file, save it on the external sd card of your phone and flash it.

[MENTION=5274986]ShadowsDie[/MENTION]: You need to flash XWLSD kernel with CWM recovery.

[MENTION=1489565]Coryllus[/MENTION]: You need to flash XWLSS kernel with CWM recovery. And check PacMan-ROM thread for compatible kernels.

If it's a KitKat (Android 4.4) ROM, then you will need a kernel with latest (KK compatible) CWM recovery, such as Gustavo_s kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ShadowsDie:
im sorry, i dont understand..

i dont actually have cwm recovery, i need it

so how can i flash that through cwm if i dont have it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Sorry for being unprecise:

PhilZ kernel is provided as signed zip file, which can be flashed in stock recovery.

After flashing PhilZ kernel zip file (from external sd card), you will have PhilZ touch CWM recovery.

Hope now it's clear.

If not, post your questions concerning PhilZ kernel in the corresponding kernel thread ... we should not hijack Chainfire's CF-Root kernel thread.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sergiu9my:
Hi.

I have a stock Galaxy S II. Can i use this on my stock rom ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Depends on the stock ROM version you have.

As Chainfire has not updated CF-Root kernel for latest stock ROM versions, this will only work for old GB/ICS stock ROM versions.

If you have a newer ICS/JB stock ROM, have a look at PhilZ kernel thread, which is also rooted stock kernel with a nice touch CWM recovery.
