Extract it.

From Intratechs thread,

Reboot your phone to download mode.

To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely press the Down volume key+ Home button + press the power button simultaneously .

You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!

open ODIN,you see your phone is added,click PDA only nothing else is touch,upload the file you just extracted,click START,less than 30 seconds there you go,you are free:D

does not mess with your external card..your files is save..

Your external card is used by CWM app to flash files..i hope that helps.

Hi

i wanted to find out if there is a new 5.0 for firmware for KE7
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tylerdurden83:
Noob question, if I rooted using the cf-kernel, will my phone match these criteria?

I know about the BUSYBOX, but have no idea about the first one...

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

I'm fairly sure there isn't one, and won't be one, KE7 is ancient and one of the least efficient fw versions ever released.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DJ 1:
ok, well i did half of it fine, flashed the cf-root with ODIN, i need to find an Original Samsung Kernel, even if it were avaliable to me in my current (Stock) ROM, i dont know where to find it, where do i find an original, ta.

I used the XW_MOT_KG1 cf-root. just incase this dictates what original samsung kernal I`m looking for, cheers.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Yes, after flashing CF-Root kernel your phone will have full root and busybox.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Have a look at your phone settings (menu settings - phone infos) and you will find the Build number.

Interesting is the last part after the dot, e.g. for GINGERBREAD.XWKG1 it is the XWKG1.

Then search Intratech's Official Firmware thread for getting the corresponding stock kernel.

You can use CF-Root kernel for XW_XEF_KJ2 to root your ROM.

Please make a backup before flashing.

the file i extracted is a zImage file, but the walktrough says it should be a .tar file. what am i doing wrong

never mind i found it. just 1 oter questin what is CWM for. Why should i bother using this for future file flashing?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
CWM = ClockWorkMod

It is an extended recovery mode, which allows you to do some things that are not available in normal recovery mode.

You can flash kernels and now also stock ROMs without increasing the binary counter and getting a yellow triangle.

But you are not forced to flash via CWM. It is just an option.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] verbaltech:
Thank you, let me thank all you people willing to help. You guys make my world a better place. btw i will donate on payday.

I got the superuser acces but the app wich was the reason for flash rooting my device is telling me the bluetooth stacks implementation is not supported and hints me toward using a CynogenMod if available.

Can i use this CWM to get CynogenMod working or should i ask in an other thread?

Sorry but i am new to this and the amount of Short reference strings makes it hard to be sure i know what i am doing.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tsukihime:
3ks for the great job!

Would you please update Busybox to v1.19.3 ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
You can update busybox yourself.

Chainfire has described how to do in his first post.

Or use an app to do it for you.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Use busybox installer from the market, its free and you can update to the latest version.

I do not need to update BB, but just because I am courious:

Busybox Installer app (of JRummy16) from the Market only shows BB v1.19.0 as newest version.

So, trusting the version numbers, this would be a downgrade from BB version included in CF-Root v5.0, which is BB v1.19.2.

Or do you mean to use another app, e.g. the BusyBox app of Steven (Stericson) - as mentioned by Chainfire in his first post?!

This will show the latest BB v1.19.3, but I went into several different BB installations after trying to update. (CF-Root BB is in "/sbin" while the BB update installed BB in "/system/xbin" - as described by Chainfire in his first post.)

Maybe it is just an individual problem on my phone, but to be back on the "safe" track, I restored the backup I made before the BB update.

EDIT:

I tried it once again, just to play around with my phone ... and know I read the message of BusyBox app (the stericson one) more carefully.

And the several BB installation thing is just a warning, not an error.

I tested with Root Check, and everything seems to work fine - and BB v1.19.3 detected.

SU still works properly and even CWM Manager app seems to work without any problem.

So, as a result for me:

The BusyBox app by Steven (stericson) from the Market successfully updated BB to v1.19.3 on my phone.

Hi all

Firstly, thank you so much for the simple root, I very much appreciate not having to learn too much.

I got my SII today and decided, quite rapidly, that I wanted some of my old CM7.1 love....rooted using the method listed here and then flashed CM - Unfortunately, I seem to have lost the CWM Manager application.

Is this easy to get back?

Which File??

Just updated my firmware. The kernel version is XWKI4. The Android version is 2.3.4. Which rooting file should I use:

XW_NEE-KI4-v4.1 or XW_NEE-KI4-4.2

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I am looking for a rooted kernel for carrier 3 UK. can some one point me to the rooter XWKI8 kernel, the first page of this forum has a XW_NEE_KI8 kernel - but its mentioned insecure.

it would be great if anyone can help me with XWKI8 :)

thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Both will work for you.

Your choice.

I would use the newer version. Do not bother that it is insecure.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
You can use this kernel to root your phone.

It does not interfere with your provider.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
BUKG2 is your current ROM.

So you should search for the BUKG2 stock kernel.

If you can not find it, you can ask someone (e.g. intratech@XDA) for you to provide or make it on your own.

Basically you only need the zImage file of your stock ROM (this can easily be found in carrier firmware thread or on SamMobile) and tarball it to be flashable via Odin.

But I am sure that there is already such a stock kernel. You only have to find it.

Good luck.

JIG Question

I just rooted, turned off my phone and plugged in my USB JIG to reset the binary and get rid of the triangle, so I just wanna know if I still havta do the procedure mentioned on the 1st page to remove the triangle.. Sorry for the n00b question but I am still learning and any help would be much appreciated!

Also, does it matter how often one uses the JIG to reset binary counter? I mean, will it affect the phone in the long run?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Using the JIG is enough, it removes the triangle and resets the counter. The procedure is for those people who don't have a JIG (or for whom the JIG doesn't work)

@ Chainfire

any news on the app you're developing to flash roms with non cf-root kernels?

also did you see my post about battery levels required before flashing roms.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] emilcioran99:
@ Chainfire

I saw that your CWM Manager apk dissapeared on the market.

How can I get/where I found CWM Manager 5 apk?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Yes, it's coming along nicely. I had hoped to release today, but I very much doubt that is going to happen now :) Perpetually behind schedule! (It still does require a kernel with some form of CWM, though)

Re: battery level, seen it, but not building in a warning to CWM Manager at the moment. Maybe next release version.

It was never on market. It is included in my CF-Root kernels and automatically installed when you flash such a kernel.

Uninstall CWM Manager?

Ok so I rooted with CF-Root v5.0 KJ2 yesterday. Today I flashed the Speedmod K2-16, which pretty much renders CWM Manager v3 useless, so is there a way to uninstall it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] morg01:
just navigate to system/apps and remove the apk (move it somewhere for future use or delete it) reboot and its gone!

either that or you can remove it with titanium backup if you've got it

Hi all I have rooted my device with KF3 a while back but I would like the latest version as i am having issues with the screen blanking out a lot, can anyone tell me which version I can update to? My phone is with O2 UK and I have the stock ROM 2.3.3 with Chainfire's rooted KF3 Kernal.

Thanks in advance :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Blanking out?? Wtf is that lol

In order to get a newer kernel you need to update your firmware first. Search the forum for Intratech's stock rom thread and choose a newer firmware there. Follow the instructions to every point and you wont have any issues.

After you have updated your firmware then come back here and select the suitable CF-Root kernel.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bulla80:
Thanks for the speedy reply :)

sometimes the screen goes blank during a call and I am unable to get it back without taking the battery out and rebooting, as you can understand this is very frustrating!

Kies says I have the latest firmware? I will search for intratech's stock ROM and have a look, thanks for the advice.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Ahh I see, so the screen doesn't come back on even if you put the device in horizontal position during a call?

Another piece of advice I can give you is to ditch KIES, it usually does more harm than good. Just use ODIN to update your firmware. All the information on how to do that is in Intratech's thread as I mentioned above.

Try Power button.

I read this tip in another thread.

I have successfully rooted my phone using this method, my question is: If I update my firmware via Kies (since it asks), would that remove CF-Root from my phone? If so, then how can I update my firmware without unrooting?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
As I have said in this thread before, I would advise you to ditch KIES all together and just use ODIN to update your firmware.

Check out Intratech's stock ROM thread for updated firmware and instructions on how to apply it.

If you update using kies you will lose root. Advice update to latest then root again.

Hi Guys ;-)

A minor issue I'd like someone to give me an opinion on, if it's not too much trouble ? Rooted phone using CFRoot kernel that matched with my existing stock kernel/firmware OK no dramas whatsoever.

Wanted to get rid of the boot triangle, so flashed the stock kernel thru Odin, put a copy of the CFRoot kernel zImage on the internal SD card, and used CWManager to flash that.

Only thing is (and I've tried this 3 times), flashing the stock kernel to get rid of the triangle and then flashing the CFRoot zImage seems to break CW Recovery as in I only get Android recovery after I go thru this process.

Any ideas/suggestions as to what might be going wrong ?

Thanks in advance guys :-D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] timberwolf60:
To restore back the CF root and get rid of the lovely triangle.

1) used odin flashed the stock kernel.

2) Used CWM.apk flash kernel option to flash the zImage of CF root kernel.

OK, not sure if i missed the point of this root or not.,

2: I want to make a backup of current stock rom, but don't have cwm recovery..if I flash cwm from rom manager it doesn't apply the update.zip in recovery, just errors.

I have just the standard cf-root from the 1st page + a standard Samsung kernal to clear the yellow triangle.

Hi all,

I´ve got root but can´t install CWM (failed to veryfy whole file signatur)

I think the problem is my KERNEL - I´ve got XWKDD. I found and installed one and was able to gain root, but I need one for CWM. Anyone knows a working one?

thx for any suggestions :)

DaXmYsT

Edit: got a work around for my KERNEL version:

first of all rooted phone is needed.

If u rooted your phone right, our Kernel need the CW Version 4.0.0.2

u can download it from here: http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2011/06/16/install-clockworkmod-4-0-0-2-cwm-recovery-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-ii-how-to/

after u downloaded GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.0.2 start odin and install it as PDA.

Now power off your phone.

Now press and hold the Volume up button, the Home button and the Power button at the same time, until u see the first Samsung screen.

important: don´t use the CWM app to start the recovery mode (if u installed a higher version before). It will fail to start CWM Recovery.
