I have install my SGS2 using this file CF-Root-SGS2_CE_XEN_KI2-v4.2-CWM4.zip.

When i tried to backup using CWM app, it just ask me file file name / folder name, boot into "recovery" mode and do nothing.

it seems my recovery mode is a standard one, it has blue text and yellow text below.

it only has 4 menu:

- Reboot system now

- apply update from sdcard

- wipe data / factory reset

- wipe cache parition.

that's it.

Please help!

Which download is suitable for my device? My ROM is CM9 nightly.

Kernel version

3.0.15-CM-g058fc14codeworkx@cyanogenmod #1

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] spiral5:
you can not put Cf-Root with cm9.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marco.it:
And which kernel should I use? I would like to have traditional mass storage with

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb

but it does not work. Someone reccomended using an alternate kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] spiral5:
Perhaps you can try with siyah b6 kernel and if you want bln, works good

You can see SiyahKernel v3.0beta6 in this link:

Nah spiral5, thanks for the help but that's not working. Flashed ZIP vía CWMRecovery and tried again with setprop command vía terminal emulator. Rebooted and still the f*king MTP.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Mikulec:
U cant have traditional mass storage. MTP is the new "standard" in ansroid 4.0.

And so far u cant use other kernel on CM9.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marco.it:
New does not mean better. For large amount of files MTP sucks. It would be far better if they maintain the "old" mass storage device within the MTP and PTP.

All versions updated to v3.8, KF1 added

All CF-Root versions have been updated to v3.8, and a KF1 version has been added.

The only major change from v3.7 to v3.8 is a fix to one of the recovery startup scripts, that could make CWM not work if the ROM's /system/bin folder is completely FUBAR.

Great Chainfire.. I´ve just flashed an everything is ok

When will it be possible you adapt to 4.0.0.2 recovery version but allowing bootanimation and using external sd card?

In official version (clockwork) both things are not permitted

Is is possible?

Thanks in advance and best regards

Nope.. AFAIK only difference is codeworx didn't implemented menu and back keys or external sd as it's the way all other devices recovery work and that's to maintain CyanogenMod compatibility

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hakkinenvthh:
I think we can update directly the firmwares with CWM 4.0.0.2 by ROM Manager, no?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
That will flash a whole different kernel ... not just fix recovery, also, the koush / codeworkx CWM4 version does not support a few things my CF-Root version usually does, like external sd-cards, auto-mount before update.zip, the home button, etc.

There's a reason the first post states not to use ROM Manager ...

I'd previously used cf-root (lp7) when using lp7 & playing with lp2 (went back to lp7). I'd also tried the siyah kernel.

However I've just updated to Lp3 (intratech) and figured will run stock for a while (like hours !). I updated with mobile odin, and this is capable of rooting :-)

I just flashed the CF-Root kernel for my device using the InitialCFRootFlasher.zip file that Chainfire created for the Galaxy Note. It gives you two batch files, one for an already rooted device and one for not rooted yet. I had already rooted my device using Doomlords zergrush batch file, so I simply put the CF-root kernel file that I wanted in the correct folder, connected device to PC, ran the "already-rooted.bat" batch file, and it worked.

So i've got CWM and root without using Odin or touching the custom ROM counter (no triangle).

Is there a reason why Chainfire has made this method for the Galaxy Note and not for us, when it seems to work fine for both...? Thanks.

here's the link to the Note CF-Root post that explains this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19030729&postcount=2

edit: I guess you should keep in mind that this will only work if your able to root your device using the zergrush method. Or you had somehow already obtained root without touching your custom ROM counter.

Is there somewhere CF-ROOT 5.4 for I9100XXKE7?

I can found only CF-ROOT 4.0 for KE7 :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AShadowX:
That's because KE7 is a pretty old firmware, so only 4.0 is added for it. CF-Root 5.4 is added for ICS builds and later.

You should still use 4.0, it will still give you root and superuser access, and works great with no problems.

with cf-root you get busybox, and ClockWorkMod (CWM4/5) recovery extra other than root.

Confirmed working fine.

Just rooted a friend's S2,I was also a bit surprised why this method is not in the OP of S2-CF.Rooted my NOTE with the same method.Should be made sticky or can be added to the OP.It's a simple method and there is not use of ODIN and triangles are miles away:D

For people in LP3 with LP7 CF-root kernel

I tested as some people says and it works, but ... not as smooth as with the original kernel.

Finally I follow the Mobile Odin path to use the original kernel and it is more smooth than the LP7 kernel... maybe a placebo effect...

So I am root but I do not have CWM to be able to restore/make backups, so waiting impatiently to Chainfire kernel for this version ...:o

In that short time my view is LP2 is more battery friendly that LP3, but as I am travelling and I did not do a controled testing I can not say more than that!

If you do that, for sure you will have the chainfire kernel with CWM recovery, but if you want to use the stock kernel (for example if we do not have the right versions as for LP3) I don't now the way to integrate CWM into the kernel. Thats the great job of Chainfire!.

Mybackup root app doesn't think my device is rooted with cfroot LP7 and LP3. with siyah 3.0 betas it's ok. All the GB cfroot kernels I've tried are good too.

Is the same if using superuser or supersu.

I've tried uninstall and reinstall of the app. Clearing data and switching between superuser and supersu but no luck.

Not a big deal for me but something is not right. Any hints where I should look to narrow down the incompatibility are appreciated.
