Hi there!

I really tried to figure out which of the new 5.5 Kernels is the right one for me. But I don't get it...so it would be nice if you can help me find it.

My actual Chainfire kernel is "XWLP7". So...if I'm not mistaken there is no actual new kernel for this one - am I right? Can I use another kernel instead without having bugs?

Thank you all in advance!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jonny_ftm:
no, stick to your kernel or upgrade ROM to LPF
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] arcturusx:
Thanks for your reply.

I don't want to change my rom because it's the right one for my provider/operater...so in case of guarantee I will have no problems.

Or did you mean something different?

@Chainfire: Could/Would you make a kernel for LP7? (I am from Germany, using the official ROM for the BASE network with your 5.4 kernel LP7).

Thank you and thank you for you work at all!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jonny_ftm:
Yes, you have to stick with cf_root 5.4 for lp7. The question is why you want 5.5? Op usually doesn't backport by the way
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] speed_speed:
which version should I download for I9100XWLPF italy ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jonny_ftm:
There's only one available

CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXI_LPF-v5.5-CWM5.zip
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Mastermnd:
The LPF version tells me "unable to mount /sdcard" when i try to flash a zip from the INTERNAL sdcard. after retrying twice, it said it was using /emmc/myfile.zip

WTF?

It worked anyway...

PS: I flashed Jkay mod for ics LPF
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jonny_ftm:
same here, stock recovery only lets me install/update from external sd!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] arcturusx:
I thought 5.5 brings cwm to the newest version, doesn't it?`

Don't you think Chainfire will put out a new LP7 kernel? So far he did a lot of different kernels.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jonny_ftm:
What features from latest version you need?

He usually doesn't backport
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] arcturusx:
As I wrote in my previous post - the new cwm version.

What you wrote means that I have to flash a new rom in order to use a newer kernel - right?

What I don't understand is. Chainf. did a kernel for LP7. The new ICS ROM for base in germany is only one month old and it needs LP7 - so if it's only some days old, this won't be a backport - am I wrong?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xtremesv:
You don't need to flash a new rom in order to get the latest kernel in most situations. In my case for example right now I have XWLPD based rom working perfectly with XXLPW kernel. Of course you should always make full backups when installing any new kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] arcturusx:
Alright, then I will do some tests. Thank you for help!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tuqano:
Hi guys....I downloaded "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXI_LPF-v5.5-CWM5.zip".....this recovery is not "semi-touch", well, i mean: when i enter in recovery mode, i can only use the volume button and the power button in order to select each voice. The older recovery, instead, allowed me to scroll each voice by using the menù button, and to select the voices by using the home button........can you help me???:)

TNK in advice ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Thats not a problem or a bug... it's just how that recovery is. Want something else, then install a custom kernel... there is plenty of them about. :)

Rooted Kernel UHLPI for latin american users

Hi,

Can U' make a rooted kernel for I9100UHLPI or I9100UHLPK from Argentina?

I usually Post in a Latin American Blog... and there's a lot of users who can't wait for this... please .. give us a hope!

Argentina, Chile, Panama, Guatemala, Brasil, Ecuador y Uruguay use the same base rom, there's a lot of users who needs your help.

Big Thanks !!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alekzsan:
Thanks... For your great work
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yugisop:
I don't think you need an insecure kernel specific to your region (UH - LatAm/Caribbean). All your regions/carriers customisations would be in your csc already. Also most OPs don't generally go back to do older kernels.

I'd give CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.zip from post # 8 on this thread a try as it worked for me on UHLPE and UHLPQ.

Note: The kernels with *** next to them in that post have issues so pay attention to choose the correct one.

Just downloaded XWLPG Nordic from SamMobile, the information about the file is WRONG!!! It's NOT GB v2.3.6, but indeed ICS v4.03!

Have just installed XWLPG using Sammy Kies, just to make sure, worked perfect:

Build-number: IML74K.XWLPG

Modem: XXLPX

Changelist: 619441

Release date: Yesterday.

So far I really can't see any difference...

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] r3dpuma:
I dont know where to ask for help since there is no thread for my problem so here I go maybe some enlighted mind will have an answer for me. I just bought a galaxy tab 2 10.1. I rooted and than I installed Rom manager. And I used Rom manager to update the CWM. When I did that it asked me what device I have, and by mistake I choose galaxy tab 10.1 (the first one) and after reboot the tab is not turning on anymore. Can't go in recovery or download mode. I tried everything.

Its weird because Its just a recovery not a kernel or a Rom. Please any ideas?

Yeah it is, but if you are already rooted, if you flash with Mobile ODIN there's no need to run Triangle Away.

Is there a chance of getting CF-Root to work with Encrypted Partitions?

My company forces system/sdcard encryption, and this currently breaks CF-Root

It just keeps looping at the bootloader screen, the only way around it is to flash a stock kernal over the top.

As ADB has not loaded yet, I can't produce logcat :(

Hi Chainfire,

I figured you should be pretty familiar with the kernels... :p Can you please check something for me?

As I discovered in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123780), SI is doing likely some advanced power management practices with the WIFI (probaly one or more described here: http://features.techworld.com/mobile-wireless/4103/a-guide-to-wi-fi-power-save-technologies/).

Can you find any evidence/setting in the kernel for this? If yes, is there also a possibility for the user to turn off or control this setting somehow? Obviously, the best would be something form the user mode space, but this is probably too much to ask for :confused:

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: Please disregard this request. I have realized this is already possible, see here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiManager.html#WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF. According to the docs this was introduced in Android revision 12, but the constant "3" also works on 2.3.3
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] elban:
Hi chainfire, I had a small issue with flashing kernels from cwm manager.

It does all the tasks but "flashing kernel" is very fast and goes back to the application instead of rebooting.

If I repeat the same operation, it all goes fine.

Had the same when flashing 3.7 from 3.6 and 4.0 from 3.7
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I just tested this, and flashed 4.0 from 3.7 or 3.8 (can't remember which version it was I'm afraid, but it was the standard XWKF1 version)

I flashed the file downloaded from the third post, without unzipping etc, and it worked fine.

@Chainfire, if it helps, that was on VR1.2, and before I installed my patch to fix the symlinks, so it won't be an issue with that AFAIK.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Sboulema:
Weirdest thing happened :S

I was on 3.8 and i suddenly discovered my dialer keypad was missing... Do not know if it has been like that for long since i rarely type in a number. Flashing to 4.0 made the dialer keypad return :S

Rooting Issue - XWLPG

Hi,

I just updated my SGS2 to XWLPG (from this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1602579)

and i downloaded the CF-Root for LPG from CF's site and followd the steps...but when i reboot to the advanced options (clokworkmod reboot) am not seeing much of the options which i used to see earlier.....

i noticed that only 5 options are available there......and the home button for the selection purpose is not working there....

whether anyone experienced this? or am i doing something wrong here......

pls advice.....

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Baseband/Modem/Phone version is not so important for choosing the right CF-Root kernel.

Kernel version is important.

And yes, you can flash CF-Root kernel by using Mobile Odin (if you are rooted already).

And the other way round too: You can use Mobile Odin after flashing CF-Root kernel, as you are rooted then.

You can also look at my post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26941554&postcount=311

You will get root with last superSU+busybox versions from recovery, all else remains stock with your original secure kernel. No yellow triangle, no counter, no need to play with old bootloaders, no need to wait for the new CF_root version, no need to use odin and it should work on all your android ICS phones, even the S3.

Only developers and some people need insecure kernel (ADB root access, nandroid backup), for the majority it is not needed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] petsrdjan:
But this is v5.4 not v5.5 as I said :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Ok my bad, either way... what you see on the 1st page is whats available. Chainfire is not updating CWM versions in the kernels that he already released.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] doongoo:
Mate,

read just carefully the first post of this topic:

"Help! Which file do I use ?

Listen closely, for I will say zis only once!

Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. Note the string present there:

2.6.35.7-I9100XXKG1-CL349526

What matters most (KG1) in this case, is in bold. Try to find the matching file under downloads:

CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG1-v4.1-CWM4.zip

The XX and OXA identifiers are not that important. Usually a "KG1" kernel is a "KG1" kernel, and that is that. Sometimes (pretty rare) it happens there will be multiple different kernels with the same name in different firmwares, that are actually different. If this happens, they are usually only very minor changes and you should expect them to still be fully compatible. I include the "XX" and "OXA" identifiers so the very advanced users can deduce from which full firmware I have taken the kernel file.

Don't worry too much, just find the matching download and use it. What if there is no matching download ? You can ask me to make one, but I can tell you right now, I very very rarely make CF-Root's for kernels on request, unless it is the very latest kernel that has been released by Samsung. In the latter case, be sure to let me know. If there's no match and I'm not making one, try finding the closest match. You should treat "KG1" as a number, but instead of 1-9, we have 1-9, A-Z (where A would be 10, and Z would be 35). "KG2" is really close to "KG1", "KF1" is not close to "KG1" at all. I hope that makes sense."

just PDA version is relevant and not the csc
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Don't bother about the XEN or OXX.

Just download and flash the recommended CF-Root kernel ... and you will see, everything is fine !

You won't miss anything.

And if you really want to use newest versions, then you should flash a newer ROM version too, such as XWLPG.

Then the corresponding CF-Root kernel is v5.5.

Ok, thank you.
