ActiveSync and CF-Root v3.5 KE7?

I already reported this endless boot loop bug when using CF-Root v3.5 KE7 and corporate(Exchange ActiveSync) enforced PIN query at boot time and data encryption here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1107457

Has anyone managed it to run Chainfire's KE7 kernel with ActiveSync and those policies?

Currently I am using the stock kernel, but I would like to switch back.

Any ideas?

I'm on XWKE2 and not XEU. Can I still use this CWM without any problems? I'm running stock XWKE2 rom with root.

You rooted the SG2 without the phone ffs!! You deserve a round at least on me :)

On a side note, I am thoroughly impressed with the speed of development over here in the samsung SII section! (Coming from the desire scene) Really speedy! keep up the good work mods.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kab89:
First off thanks for the kernal Chainfire

To be able to apply IP Rules in DroidWall, I kind of figured a workaround well it works for me :)

1.	Disconnect all internet connections

2.	Create the DroidWall widget

3.	Disable DroidWall with the widget (Can take longer than normal 30secs or so)

4.	Enter DroidWall and apply rules, exit

5.	Enable DroidWall with widget (Can take longer than normal 30secs or so)

6.	Reconnect Internet, IP Rules applied :)

Does this work for any one else who is having trouble with droidWall with this kernal?

Have you tried setting the APN configuration to T-Mobile US?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mtw4991:
Yeah, its set the same as my N1, however, I just re-read the spec sheet for the UK/Euro version of the SGSII and it's missing the 1700 band which is what T-Mo USA runs its' 3G network on. Most carriers, including ATT USA, use the 2100 frequency for 3/4G networks. Tmo's 850 band is 2G/Edge and the phone has it, which is why it will only connect to the EDGE network, not 3G. It's missing the correct 1700 band....my buddy is gonna be PISSED OFF ROYALY now, lol.:D

Yep, no 3G on TMO, only AT&T

Hello!

This has probably been answered before but since search is down for maintenance(?) and this thread is currently 219 pages long I hope I'll get away with it. This once. ;)

Coming from CM7 with latest CWM installed, will this overwrite my current CWM?

I plan to run it through ROM manager Pro.

Also, since I've already replaced my original kernel to the CM7 one does it matter which of these roms I grab?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Right, first of all cyanogenmod requires its own kernel to run at the moment so I don't know why you're looking here unless you are going to switch roms.

Oh and yes it will replace any other version of CWM that you have. Do not use ROM manager to this kernel, use ODIN.

CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip should work for you. But did you know stock samsung rom already allows for wifi tethering. it is called personal hotspot. Just letting you know in case you ONLY reason for root is wifi tethering.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] robertandrews:
Will installing CF-Root wipe or reset anything on my phone?

And what are you referring to re: "pesky yellow triangle"? Does installing CF-Root result in my phone's boot animation being replaced by a warning triangle?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
First, no... nothing will be deleted from your phone. You are simply replacing a kernel.

Second... all there will be is a small yellow triangle at the first screen (splash screen) when you turn your phone on. Your boot animation will stay intact.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rendez2k:
Quick question - going to update via Kies to latest FW and use this to re-root. Although on first page it says not compatible with ROM Manager, will it work? It won't work on my phone currently anyway as I have 3e recovery apparently?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gspears:
Because that's the way Samsung designed it. Buy a very inexpensive USB Jig and this will be a non issue. Search USB Jig to read all about it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Syrellaris:
Small question :

I currently have the CF-root kernel flashed into my phone, but if I want to return to my stock kernel, can I simply re-flash it using a stock kernel?

As I understood from here, I still keep root and CWM manager. How would I go about to return it fully back to stock, for say warranty reasons?

(I do own a JIG, so I know I can remove the warning triangle and reset the binary counter with that but its the superuser and CWM manager im worried about.)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] matiasmanzo:
Sorry about the question ... if I use one of these kernels, which is not the one with my phone, damage the phone? or nothing happens? I can use any and work? because my kernel does not appear in the list.

sry bad eng
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Gene_uk:
Thanks for that!

The Wifi tethering is one of one of the main reasons for rooting, all of the other reasons are insignificant actually. So thanks for that.

I found the option last night under settings.

Hi,

I'm on Bell and would like to root my phone but keep it has close to original as possible. I have read this thread and just want to know if i'm ok (I'm a new user of android):

My Info:

ANDROID VERSION: 2.3.3

BASEBAND: I9100MUGKG2

KERNEL: 2.6.35.7-I9100MUGKG2-CL371789DH130.yoo@SEP-48 #2

BUILD: GINGERBREAD.UGKG2

Now, witch kernel should I use?

CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4

CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG2-v4.1-CWM4

CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4

Now after I do that, will I still be able to update using Kies if I want to or no?

And to UNROOT, what will be the steps?

And the Bell Kernel was just made available today also!

thx all,

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I rooted a couple of days ago, and I followed the advice from the above post. I went with the ..._JP_XSG... option. Take with a grain of salt since it's the blind leading the blind. No issues at all thus far, and my firmware specs were likely identical to yours, Bell...Canada...etc...

If this info is gratuitously incorrect I'll get my hand slapped and that will be your confirmation :o
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] inkyadrian:
Go to samfirmware.com, they have the latest stock ROMs for all countries.

Also, what happens if you flash let says XXKH3, in another post a guy says he flash is Bell/Virgin with it, will it work?

I know the Bell firmware is a battery angry so I would like to try different things!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Thanks for the link, I couldn't get the Samfit tool to load on my phone, or cpu in FF or IE. I used Kies to check that I had the latest firmware however FWIW. Verified that I have the same baseband as r0ot5.

Samfit is back online, here's what it told me based on my PDA version which is the same as the baseband value:

This is post CF root however so maybe my results are misleading?

Looks like I was mistaken on which CF kernel I used, here's a screen shot.

I ended up flashing back the Bell Canada kernel a few minutes ago, and I still have root. I ended up following this thread, my dialogue starts at post #85.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1189921&page=9

I don't think my mismatched kernel was a huge issue for me, but in the end my OCD won out. It also "helped" that my first SG2 only lasted 2 days out of the box, so a stock kernel on this phone is much more warranty friendly.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Anakha56:
So I am coming from the Desire side of life and want to confirm the rooting method.

1. Install KIES for drivers.

2. Download Odin.

3. <This is where I am confused ever so slightly> Download "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE7-v4.0-CWM4.zip" because my version of kernel is "2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725" where the KE7 parts match, correct?

4. Start Odin

5. Phone in download mode

6. Uncheck repartition and check PDA mode

7. Click Start

8. Enjoy root and donate beers.

My only concern is number 3, I am correct in saying that because mine is KE7 I should download the KE7 here? No need to worry about the others?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] runebinder:
Yeah, that's right. I had KE7 on mine and followed the same process.

Repartition wont be checked, just load the PDA and select start.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Anakha56:
Awesome thank you! :) Only got the phone today so I am busy learning it, root will happen shortly. Cant wait to flash Lite'ning Rom...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Anakha56:
Right so I am having issues trying to get the phone into "Download Mode". The phone works perfectly fine and boots the OS just fine but I am unable to access download mode.

I have made sure that "USB Debugging" is on. Switched off the phone. Held Volume Down & Home Keys down together and pressed the power button. What happens is the Samsung Galaxy boot screen comes on, then it boots to the carrier boot screen and then it boots into the OS. I have tried pressing all three down at the same time and doing it one by one and as I said above holding both down then pressing the power button.

Am I missing something? Or am I carrier locked? Really confused and I hope that it is something I am missing because I dont want to make/buy a jig. My soldering skills are not that great plus I suck at electronics...

*edit*

I can confirm the Volume keys do work...

*edit 2*

I did it! *does a happy dance* :p. Did not realize that I had to hold power button down for a fraction longer. Donation to happen soon!:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Mr Ian B:
Will I be able to root the Sprint Galaxy S2 Epic touch with the cf root method?

Or, are the internal software different?

Or, do we have to wait and see till the phone actually comes out?

Is it 9/16/11 yet?

Thanks everyone. By the way, went by ATT today and played with the Infuse which has the Samsung 4.5 screen and it looked big, but felt lighter than my Evo and comfortable on my hand. The screen will be great size for movie watching on the road.

Dont want to spam here but I cant seem to find the CWM Manager app, I have looked under applications but it is not under any of the apps. Could it be because I flashed Lite'ning Rom? If so how do I get it back?

I struggled for so many days no body answers to my post.

I personally like DXKH2(It have Asia languages and Chinese input) with cf_root because it have CWM backup(full system backup).

I was successfully rooted with odia insecure method, but ROM Manager done worked and I can't have CWM backup. Used Titanium still can replaced the functions as CWM provided.

So yesterday reflashed to DXKH2 and rooted with "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KH3-v4.1-CWM4" and now my system became as attached picture and on testing mode. wifi tithering worked and general programs worked smoothly for me, yet I had CWM backup.

Now was testing on this combo system (DSKH2 with kelnels KH3) as in the attached picture.

i have read that kies 2 or something needs to be installed (bit confused here).... well before hand i have hooked my phone to my pc in usb mode and i have also used the kies air app and accessed my phone from my browser... can i assume that kies drivers and stuff have all been installed then or is it something more specific i have to do?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] runebinder:
Kies air is no good, you need the USB drivers. Install Kies and open it, then make sure USB debugging is turned off and connect the phone via USB. The drivers will install then you can proceed with the Odin guide.

Someone told me that going this route for rooting would still mean that I could update my phone with Kies. Well that is just a lie of the worst kind because I did as the guide said and then when I try to plug my phone into Kies I get the following message:
