I have a Galaxy 2 here with XXKI1 as baseband version. Wich Chainfire kernel do i need?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mimicuk:
XXKI4

Do you by any chance have CF-Root 5.0 for XXKI4 firmware?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] wkc21:
Which KI4 kernel do I use???

I'm confused..

There a 3 different downloads available but which should I use??

The kernel version on my device is -

2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468root@DELL143#2

Thanks in advance.

(Closed) Please help, which Kernel0?

Hello,

In order to get rid of that famous Yellow Triangle after rooting, I would like a guide to which Kernel I have to use.

This is th information of my device:

Ver. Android: 2.3.5

Version basebande: I9100XXKI4

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 curio@carton #Voodoo

Ver. Nbre: GINGERBREAD.KWKJ2

Many thanks

I found this Kernel somewhere which solved my prob of the Triangle.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
Any of the 3 should work fine, just check the your build number is all so XWKI4..

Open your dialer, hit "*#1234#" and see what it says your PDA is..

If it's XWKI4, you should be good to go.. Read Chainfires instruction and follow them by the letter and you shouldn't have ant trouble ;)

You could do it the easy way and buy a jig.. ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] samaliset:
Thanks for the advice, but any other idea?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
If you get this kernel from Intratech thread, it's stock for KJ2

http://www.multiupload.com/DDKCBP8PHD

Then you can just follow chainfire instructions in the first or second post...

I bough a jig :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] samaliset:
No, in fact I get while I did the last ROM update from Samsung.

Thanks again, I'll follow your instructions
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
Are you saying that after updating via Keis, you got the yellow triangle..?

Never heard of that happening..

Your best bet might just be droping Keis, and just updating your FW via odin.. ;)

From intratech thread you'll get quicker updates to the latest Fw to your phone..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] samaliset:
I think I mis-explained the issue. I made the update through Samsung original ROM and not through Kies.

Could you please help me with my problem?

I flashed wicked rom kk5. It comes with CF kk5 kernel. I flashed speedmod kernel and wanted to flash back CF kernel. now I downloaded kk5 zip from first post but I can't flash it. When I choose install zip and select kk5 zip it says "bad" installation aborted. I have cwm 5.0.2.3. It shouldn't be a problem.

Can anyone tell me what might be the problem?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
CF-Root kernels from this thread can only be flashed via ODIN, not CWM recovery as far as I know. Or you can use the flash kernel option in the CWM app if you still have it, although I'm pretty sure it's not fully compatible with SpeedMod.

Chainfire, is there any chance that you could work your magic on XXKP1?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
I've had a CF-Root for XXKP1 for almost a week already, I just haven't had the chance to test it. It'll be released today one way or the other.

Replace my actual ROM

Hello Chainfire,

Can you please help me? I would like to know if I can install your ROM above my actual rooted one (info. in my signature bellow).

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
This thread by Chainfire is for kernels.. It says so in big red letters on the first post..

If it's a new Rom you want you'll have to look another place..

If it is your Kernel you are asking about, then you can use this one: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEF_KJ2-v5.0-CWM5.zip.

You'll find it on post #7 :)

XXKP1 and XXKP2 variants uploaded !

I have not tested XXKP1 (it's based on the XXKP2 CF-Root) but the XXKP2 version seems to work fine so far.

I have had to make some changes due to the new Android version.

As with every new Android version, expect at least minor issues with the first CF-Root versions :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
To be on the safe side, press "*#1234#" on your dailer, and check that you PDA is also KI2..

If it is, your good to go..

Follow Chainfire's instructions on the first post, and you will not have any trouble ;)

New to SGS2, Few questions.

Hi Guys,

I just bought a new SGS2 and successfully rooted it with files provided on the first page. I had KI4 original kernel, and I found KI4 here as well, and it shows up with the exact same build numbers in the About menu after the upgrade. Nice.

But since I am new to SGS2 rooting (before I used HTC Desire), I have some questions:

1. How do the official updates become available? Is there any pattern? I mean, my colleage also bought unlocked SGS2 recently and he has 2.3.5 with KI8 firmware. I though that since he has newer version on his phone, then there should be an official FOTA update available to my 2.3.4 KI4 phone. But there is no update available (both before and after the flash). What is the problem here?

2. I have already flashed rooted kernel. Will it prevent the phone from future FOTA updates? Do I need to flash the stock back in? Where to I actually get the stock kernel from?

I will appreciate your answers, though I know my questions must sound noobish.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
Official updates come out very slowly, this you must know after having an HTC ;)

Stick to odin from here on, then you can get the newest Fw for your device whether it is released in your region of the world or not..

These you'll find in Intratech's thread in the "original android development" section ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paracarro:
noob question, don't flame me please :)

i have a ki8 version, i'd like to know if i can use v 5 or if i have to use the v 4.3 as i understood by reading this post.

thanks very much
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
XW_NEE_KI8 is the one you need. Which includes 4.3.

If you want to be on 5.0, then update your ROM first.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] reddeath:
Is there something like "the latest official (rooted) ROM" to be flashed on the unbranded SGS2 version? Can you point me to a relevant thread?

How come two unbranded phones bought around the same time at different places in the same European city (Copenhagen) can have different ROM versions, and without the FOTA upgrade option on the older one. How do these updates are released exactly?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
You need this thread mate:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] reddeath:
Thank you for your kind help!

Using Kies, I have found that my phone/firware is the following:

PDA: KI4, Phone: KI1, CSC: KH1 (DBT).

I found the same version on the suggested thread and it seems that it was released for the German region, even though I bought it in Denmark (Nordic region).

Hence, I have few questions:

1. Can I use any european ROM for my phone, if I live in Denmark?

2. What is the latest recommended/stable firmware that I could use on my phone?

3. I see that the KK2 rom is much larger then my current KI4, or a bit newer KI8. What is the deal with that?

Thank you in advance!

Everthing went OK but when i try Getting rid of that pesky warning triangle during boot; i cant c the triangle but it freezee at Samsung Glaxy SII GT-9100 . What do i hqve to do to get it work again? Thnx
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
You may have to flash the stock kernel again.

Then check if you are having still root access (e.g. with Root Check app from the Market or just start CWM Manager app - it will tell you if you are not running the CF-Root kernel).

Then you should flash the CF-Root kernel again with CWM Manager app like described in Chainfire's second post.

Good luck !

KL1

Hi Chainfire

congratulation for your job !!!

But why CF for KL1 doesn't work ?

I'm am in KL1 can re-upload a CF 5.x for KL1 Please !!!! (so possible)

Thanks +1:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXA_KK5-v5.0-CWM5.zip should work fine for you. ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] saigon66:
I did that but still got that issue. If i try to flash CF-root kernel with CWM it goes fine but after reboot it stuck there wunt boot further; I did that for a serveal time but with out luck. i have XWKJ1
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Ok, then try to flash CF-Root kernel for XW_LUX_KJ1 with Odin to your phone.

Let your phone boot normally after flashing.

Check root access and start CWM Manager app. If it shows that it is running on CF-Root kernel, then it is good.

Reboot into recovery mode (easiest way is via CWM Manager app).

In CWM recovery mode, select to wipe cache partition and wipe Dalvik cache (in Advanced), too.

Reboot your phone, and then reboot into download mode for next steps.

Just re-do all steps of Chainfire's second post to get rid of the yellow triangle:

1. Flash stock XWKJ1 kernel to your phone with Odin.

2. Let your phone reboot normally.

3. Start CWM Manager app and flash CF-Root kernel (zImage file from the CF-Root kernel tar file).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] donalgodon:
He's already explained why this version was removed. Samsung changed some things in the way the kernel was packaged making the KL1 version non-functional. He's also said that if/when future versions of KLx are released, an update kernel will come, as having more versions makes it simpler for him to do than only having one.

KK5 works fine. I'm using it. Of course, I'd love to have KL1 matching kernel, but for now, use what works and just be patient.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] polly69:
please let me know if im right.

my kernel in about phone is

I900XWKJ3

the kernel ive grabbed is

CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KJ3-v5.0-CWM5

firmware to remove triangle unzip a get the zimage

GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XW_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI3.tar

when this is done i just plug in my jig to remove the triangle or flash the kernel from my orginal FW
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SaneinOne:
Flash stock and then flash zimage from tar file using CWM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ksantoshh:
Just flash the CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KJ3-v5.0-CWM5 kernal, switch off your phone completely, plug in the jig when your phone is off. If you have the old bootloader the USG jig will be deteted and jig will remove the yellow triangle and reset the counters.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] raffness:
Please help. I followed the rooting instructions to the T. The Odin process failed. Now I have the phone-triangle(!)-pc image and it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
just to be on the safe side, check your build version as well..

open your dailer and press; *#1234#, if your PDA is KJ2 then this kernel is correct for your, you'll find in post #7:

CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEF_KJ2-v5.0-CWM5.zip

code :

2.6.35.7-I9100DXKH2-CL483911

root@DELL 138 # 2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
If it is GINGERBREAD.2.3.4, then you can use CF-Root kernel for XX_OXA_KH1.

If it is GINGERBREAD.2.3.3, then you should use CF-Root kernel for JP_XSG_KG5.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] domoking:
for 2.3.3 use JP_XSG_KG5 ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Yes, or another CF-Root kernel based on a "near" 2.3.3 stock kernel.

Backup everything before and just flash the CF-Root kernel.

You will see, it works fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] musashiro:
still the best kernel for me...

i don't know why i don't like custom ones...:confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] l33ch0r:
I used this kernel to gain root. It worked. But unfortunately I don't have CWM, just this standard recovery thing.

My kernel now says to be "Kernel-Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513"

But I wan't to flash a kernel and get CWM! How to? Which one from this thread?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
Find out which Build version your running, and find the kernel which matches..

Open your dailer, press *#1234# and check what comes up as "PDA".

Read the first post and see what Chainfire saya about matching the CF-root kernel with your build number..

If you cannot find the right one, post back and someone will help you.. ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] l33ch0r:
This is what the device tells me.

The only one I found matching is the one below:

CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_KI4-42-v4.2-CWM4.zip

Is it the right one?

If it is, shall I just flash this one via Odin like I did with another one?

And will I guaranteed have CWM after that?

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
Jepp, that one will work, you flash via Odin, in the "PDA" section, then you will have root & Cwm :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] l33ch0r:

CWM3 was a program title. Once you was in CWM recovery mode and will shown you 5.0.2.7.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] donalgodon:
Yes, it is the best choice, as it is the matching kernel for the KK5 ROM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Why are you using Screenshot It?

Try to press Home + Power button at the same time, and you will have the screenshot without the "Screenshot It wurden su-Rechte gewährt" in "Screencapture" folder on your internal sd card.

I never used a screenshot app on my SGS2 because the build-in screen capture features works fine.

Just extract the zip file and use the tar file of the CF-Root kernel for flashing in PDA section of Odin.

Just so we know and can help you more, you did unzip the kernel from the file you downloaded, and then tried to flash it though Odin?

Also, he would like to install checkrom 4 (KK5)

OR should he flash directly a KK5 kernel? His phone is stock
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
Well, this thread is for just the kernel, so if your asking if you can "just flash as usual" KK5, you must have the KK5 Fw on your device..

Do you.?

If you did not know that this is for the kernel and are looking for the KK5 fw, your in the wrong thread ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
You don't need Cwm manager after flashing Chainfire's Cf-root kernel, it tells you in the first post that they are not compatible.

Chainfire's Cwm app which comes with the kernel works great..

Before flashing a custom Rom, you better make a backup of your device, to do so you need "root"..

Flash a Cf-root kernel first, make a back then go to the Checkrom thread and you'll get help on how to do that ;)
