Yea I know this is not a nexus one Forum. If you would have read my screenshot you would realize I am sending the s2 details from my nexus one. What has a signature got to do with any of the questions I asked?

I checked the instructions and i need to look for KG2, i saw 3 of these, which would be the best?

That is no S2 but a model from a US Carrier. Therefore you won't get a CF-Kernel for the firmware.

Ha, good call. I just noticed that this thread is in "Galaxy S II Original Android Development." A link that I clicked on under "AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket Android Development" took me to this post so I was under the impression this was for my phone.

Rooting my phone

Hi

I had previously SGS1 and had no problem with firmware flashing. Now with SGS2 I am really confused. There is so many information about rooting, and so many possibilities. There are some warnings as well. I must say, I am just afraid to decide for myself. I have of course stock ROM and at first I want to root it in possibly safe way.

Please help me to choose the right version of CF-Root. Thank You in advance.

This is basic data from my phone:

GT-19100

4.0.4

Baseband:

I9100XXLQ6

Dear all,

Yesterday ICS 4.0.4 was released on Sammobile which I'd like to use. I9100XWLPW_I9100XXLQ6_I9100XENLPB_HOME.tar.md5. Which CF-root is recommended for this release? XWLPW is rather "old" and I see that XWLPX is available (CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPX-v5.6-CWM5.zip).

And yes, my phone suffers from eMMC brick bug, so I'm very carefull with this update. But in any case, I'd like to know which CF-root file I can use. Thanks for your help.

Hi guys,

I'm bring in my thread which I posted in the Q&A section into this thread as I think my problem is specific to actions taken from the original post when I flashed the CF Root XXLPH v5.2 kernal through ODIN. See link below

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1908865

Basically I cant get the internal memory to mount. I have tried everything but to no avail.

To re-iterate from the original thread, below is the details taken from my phone as it currently stands

Android version 4.1.1

Baseband I9100XXLPX

kernel version 3.0.15 Siyah-52- V4.1.15+

AOKP version build 3

ROM - resurrection remix JB V3.8

I'm wondering if a simple alternative kernal flash would do the trick or if it is something more sinister.

Help would be much appreciated
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
After Kies or OTA update for a new firmware version, you will lose the current kernel and root.

But this won't change anything about the yellow triangle. If you don't have it yet, it won't come back after the update.

Only when flashing an unsigned kernel with Odin will lead to the yellow triangle (and increment the flash counter).

Use TriangleAway app to remove it (and reset the counter).

What malfunctions?

I am on XWLPW (DBT = German version) stock ROM with PhilZ-cwm6 kernel (rooted stock kernel for XWLPW, similar to CF-Root kernels) and don't experience any issues.

Camera, bluetooth and video is working fine on my phone.

Maybe you have to wipe cache and Dalvik cache, and fix permissions in recovery.

Good luck !

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] RalfvdEnden:
XWLPW (KPN) has video issues with the XXLPW (OXA) CF-ROOT. After flashing the latest Siyah kernel everything works 100% though. So there definitely is a difference between XXLPW and XWLPW. An updated CF-ROOT would be very welcome.

Maybe because XXLPW is still 4.0.3 and XWLPW is 4.0.4. Try a 4.0.4 (XWLPX?) CF-Root for that firmware, should work fine.

Well you are stuck regardless with the proper kernels, how about you try flash this over your kernel is pretty close to it and Ive used this successfully over BOLPD for 4.0.3.

CF-Root-SGS2_BU_VOD_LPC-v5.4-CWM5.zip

Worse case scenario find original stock kernel and flash that to revive phone.

guys what's the status of my phone now.

I flashed stock rom using odin. Previously been using different roms even dual boot with dorimanx and siyah. So right now after stock rom flashing. I rooted it and busy box installed. Didn't use cf root kernel. I then cf rooted with 5.6 be version. I am unable to use ex tweaks! Battery seems to last longer. Battery was the Main issue for me. Whats the status of my phone now. Can someone pls explain.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Hmm... you can only use ExTweaks with Siyah kernel.

To be honest, you need to learn how to configure a custom kernel properly before you will see it's true potential.

All in all, you can achieve more battery life from a custom kernel like Siyah than you can from CF-Root. By all means though if you're happy with it then stick to it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] viewedit:
Buddy I have been experimenting a lot. I have come to a decision that all stock roms are major battery drainers. With stock rom without cf insecure battery was lasting very good. So I rooted the stock rom first,then cf rooted. Because I saw stock kernels somehow gives better battery life. After cf rooted its still giving me nice battery, still have to pass 24 hrs. That means when using custom rom something is missing which is hogging the battery. I will update here. Regarding battery life. About learning kernel, sorry I really don't have time and patience to read the massive database, am just doing what I understand. Lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Hmm... if you want to save battery you're better off using AOSP and AOKP ROMs, for example like CM9 and SlimICS.

Also, just a warning... if you want to get the most out of your device you will have to do a lot of reading. It comes with the territory.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] viewedit:
I understand, just that, I don't have time, I use to enjoy flashing windows roms.it was very easy and less technical. Thanks for the help! Bro!

Updating to ICS

Hi guys

I have one of the old CF-root kernels v4.0, with Android 2.3.3, and I want to update my phone (GS2) to ICS.

It seems I need CF-root v5.0+ to be able to flash the ICS image directly, but I don't know how to get v5.0 on my phone because the first CF-root v5.0 kernels are for builds much later than mine.

Therefore, I attempted to use CWM to flash the stock kernel back, as well as restore the stock modem back (which I had changed previously). However, when I try an OTA update it reboots and just says "Update failed". Does anyone know a reliable way to convince OTA updates to install? Do I have to unroot as well, or put the bootloader back? Would a factory reset help?

Alternatively, is there some way to get a newer CWM running so that I can just flash the ICS rom directly?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Just to be sure, if I flash LPX (brick bug) + CF-Root 5.6 (safe cwm), can I use Triangle Away without any fear? I mean, any more fear than say using it on a 4.0.3 rom?

if you are going to use TA then flash Siyah Kernel! :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 3dawg:
If this fails and root doesnt work (it's also killed my wifi), how can I unroot? I don't technically have root so supersu wont even let me update the binaries.

Please, any help appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
No one cares about the logo as long as the actual kernel works properly... and Siyah does!

Flash a stock ROM.

Although, I fail to see how it would not work if you did the installation properly.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 3dawg:
The LPI kernel seems to just kill my wifi and does not grant root. I've tried multiple times, with full wipes in between. I'm stuck now :/
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] viewedit:
Update for the battery life with a stock rom, cf 5.6 rooted, then latest siyah kernel. Best battery life until now. I charged the battery only 90 percent and after 9hrs passed, I listened to music for 30 min and downloaded 4 roms through wifi its on 67 percent. This its the best battery life I have achieved until now. screen shows 82 percent usage rest are below 10 percent. I think siyah kernel did the trick. If any one wants more details about the rom and other procedures I will share it here. I even disabled most of the useless apps which comes in sick rom. Facebook it seems is the biggest battery hog. That's the only app I didn't install.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Why don't you just try flashing Siyah?
