i have the brick bug, is it safe for me to take this root with odin?:confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yes, but after you settled I would suggest getting off GB Samsung ROMS and Kernels. Go onto something like CyanogenMOD 9 and SiyahKernel ICS to be completely safe.

One dumb question, or not...

I'm using MIUI V4 on my SGS II and since this friday they are updating the base rom to ZSLPG.

I usually do a full wipe every now and then so I was wondering if I can use CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5.zip to root a stock ZSLPG before flashing MIUI when I do one of my full wipes.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yes you can. :)

CF Root to use?

Hi,

im currently on an international Canadian SG2.

MUGLD3 stock.

which cf-root should I use to root it?

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shuweee:
while i was downloading the XWLPG CF-Root, I had a thought. since this is a zImage file. couldnt I just flash this using Hellcat's K-Tool instead of flashing through ODIN and i would achieve the same result without the yellow triangle or flash counter etc.

???

Thanks

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

u can root without applying CF-root. there is a post in the original android area for that by staying stock and not getting a yellow triangle/or increase flash counter.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Correct mate, you can flash it that way.

PS... you must have busybox already installed.

I flashed the XW_NEE_LPG kernel with Mobile Odin. The Superuser app was replaced by SuperSU, and I now have CWM. However, superuser access doesn't work, whenever an app requests superuser and I grant it, the app hangs and must be force quit. Help?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
SuperSU should work with (nearly) all apps.

But you can try to switch back to superuser by starting superuser app and click select to update su binary.

That should replace SuperSU's binary with superuser's.

Then check your apps again.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vurp0:
I tried, but when it says "getting root access" and I grant it through the SuperSU dialog, it still says "fail". The SuperSU app has a button for "change superuser app" and when I click that and try to update the binary in Superuser(as the instructions say), it gets to "copying su to /system" and says "fail".

I do have a root+busybox CWM flashable that uses Superuser, not SuperSU. Is this safe to flash on the CF-Root kernel?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
If you still have issues, then try it.

As I said before, I am using SuperSU without any problems.

All apps which need root access work fine with SuperSU.

Hi Chainfire,

speaking about mmc brickbug is your kernel safe?

Unfortunately my SGII is know as affected by the mmc bug (thanks for your brickbug app) and I am now very worried...

I am using your lpf kernel with stock rom: can I consider safe CWM features? Can I make wipe data/factory reset with no risk?

Sorry for my english.

So, I'm on GB 2.3.4 I can root with this method, yes I know, buw can I flash normally ICS ROMs or I should update my phone with Kies to official ICS then root and flash custom ROM?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
It's up to you.

If Kies still recognizes your phone and shows an available update, then you can choose this way of going to ICS.

If Kies does not recognize your phone or does not show an update, you can flash the latest ICS version on your own by using Odin.

Your choice !

Chainfire, perhaps you could add a poll to see how popular this new feature or option would be?

Chainfire, can you please do a CF-Root for DVLB1?

Hey guys, right got an SGS2 back for the first time in about 8 months (and loving it) current firmware is the latest o2 uk, Kernel is I9100PXXLPH, Baseband I9100PXXLPC

Do i go off the baseband or the kernal to choose which CF root i need to use (its been a while and iv forgot!)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Lmao!

This is a kernel thread, not a modem one :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ascottuk:
Any need to be a smart arse seriously? What may seem like a dumb question to you, may not be to others

As for the spelling, i'm typing on a mobile web page, unfortunately you can expect mistakes

regardless that still doesnt answer my question of which version of CF root i require, i take it the correct version would be

CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5.zip
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yes thats correct.

You see, things are not so difficult. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gcee:
That one would be correct but it also has the note attached "problems mounting secure storage".

Not sure what that means to you, but you could also look at CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5.zip or CF-Root-SGS2_UH_UVC_LPK-v5.5-CWM5.zip which are 'close' to your LPH.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bombaybadboy:
Sorry if this question has been asked before but i have been looking round but cant conferm the answer. My question is i have the right root kernel for my gingerbread 2.3.4 and i read up that if i install cwm manager then cwm manager can flash original kernel back tophone it will remove yellow triangle but still leave cwm working. Read thats the only way to remove yello triangle on GB because triangle away only works on ICS, can anyone let me no if this way works please
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Yes, flashing the stock kernel back to your phone will remove the yellow triangle.

But the flash counter will not be reset.

To gain root working properly afterwards, you should flash the zImage of CF-Root kernel by using CWM Manager app => Flash kernel and select the zImage file from your internal sd card.

P.S.:

To reset the counter for GB, you may need a USB Jig.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bombaybadboy:
Thankyou, i just wanted to lose the yellow triangle but still have cwm backup so i can experiment a little more, thanks for the help

OMG, dude you need to update your ROM before you update CF-Root. To be honest, it's too much effort to get 5.5... it doesn't really bring any improvements anyways. Just leave it as it is.

You can just flash the according CF-Root kernel via ODIN, all should be well.

If you wan't to do it cleanly then unroot first. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bombaybadboy:
Sorry to be a pain but i cant seem to get this to work, i read this page over and over before i tried. i downloaded odin, downloadd K14 because im on gb 2.3.4.

Clicked PDA and entered K14 file, put my galaxy s2 into download mode, connected usb and odin connects, i press start and odin says flashing the Z image file, then nothing. 3 times i have tried and 3 times failed, first time i thought i bricked my new phone by disconnecting before odin finished, can anyone tell me what im doing wrong plz
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] woebetide:
Maybe:

-unroot first (or try to flash original kernel)

-redownload file (maybe corrupted)

You are trying to flash the .tar right? (not the zimage)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bombaybadboy:
Yes im trying to download tar, i was thinking maybe its windows 7 i have on my laptop that maybe interfering with odin flash proccess, im going to redownload all files on my other computer later, that just has win xp pro. i used doom unroot and it was successful in unrooting and used root checker and it says i dont have root access anymore
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
What you should have done really, is left your phone rooted and just used Chainfire's Mobile Odin app to flash the CF-Root file within Android.

I probably could root again with doom toolkit but i couldnt install cwm and thats why i want to root to make a backup of my current firmware. it makes me a braver to get a bit more experimental if i no i have backup on my phone to get me out of trouble.

Disable USB debugging, shut down th phone, reboot into download mode and try to flash CF-Root kernel using Odin again.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CR5N:
This method won't work on i9100P version. I tried it and got a non working phone! You can flash a standard i9100 Build and root that with this method. Maybe Rom/kernel combo fails?

You have flashed CF-Root kernel, and then copied and flashed zImage file?!

What zImage file (of CF-Root kernel or stock kernel)?

And how have you flashed it (CWM Manager app)?

Maybe you have to flash CF-Root kernel again to connect your phone correctly to your PC.

If you are still rooted, use Mobile Odin app to flash CF-Root kernel, then you won't have the yellow triangle and no increased flash counter.

(Or use TriangleAway app after flashing CF-Root with PC Odin.)

In this way, you do not need to flash the stock kernel or a zImage file to your phone.

If you want Kies to recognize your phone again, then you will have to flash the officially released firmware (ROM, kernel, CSC, modem) for your phone and your region.

Well guys, here is the main reason of the doubt: as I understand eMMC brickbug is going to happens when wipe with custom kernel.

CF-Root is supposed to keep as close stock kernel as possible.

So, in other words, we would like to know if we should understand CF-Root is like a "custom kernel" or like a "stock kernel" for this brickbug.

Wipe with CF-Root kernel could result in this specific brickbug, or it's like a stock one, without this risk?

i dont get it, i have read this guide over and over, watched every youtube vid there is on this subject but odin wont flash anything to my phone, is it because i tick usb debugging, im suppose to right, the videos flash in 5 seconds while im sat there for 5 mins with nothing, just dont understand what im doing wrong, does odin have problems with windows 7, does anyone else have a problem with win 7
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Disable USB debugging.

You won't need it for flashing a kernel with Odin.

And be sure that no task of Kies is running on your PC while flashing.

Open task manager on your pc and end every process with kies (skies tray agent or something) and flash :)

i have 7zip and winrar and i have extracted with both ways, with winrar it shows as a rar but when i right click properties it shows it as a tar file. i thought i really starting to understand androids but new phone makes you feel like a neeb all over again, but i do appreciate your help

i just got rid of winrar and used just 7zip, it showed as a tar file this time

tried using odin

added

odin v.3 engin (id:7)...

File analysis...

setupConnection

Get PIT for mapping...

Firmware update start.

zImage

then thats as far as it goes every time

Does your phone still boots normally?

If yes, dial *#1234# into your phone and post your screen here.

And compare PDA version with Settings > Phone info > Kernel version and Build version. Should all be the same.

And you are sure that you have got a GT-I9100 model?! (no GT-I9100P/M/T)
