Try re-flashing CF-Root to get the original busybox version back. Maybe that will solve your issue.

Thanks for the reply. I understand the logic on picking the kernels but my kernel is EG30 and I don't see anything remotely close to that on the main page and I have tried a couple different kernels and I notice all of my buttons are not working now.

Thanks but I would like to try the KI4 first.

1) XW_NEE_KI4: 2.3.4

2 )XX_OXA_KI3: 2.3.5

3) CE_XEN_KI2: 2.3.4, CF-Root v4.2, SU 3.0, "insecure"

4) XX_OXA_KI3-42: 2.3.5, CF-Root v4.2, SU 3.0, "insecure"

5) XW_NEE_KI4-42: 2.3.4, CF-Root v4.2, SU 3.0, "insecure"

So from the above does option 1 not include CWM and SU? I'm just confused with the naming. When I rooted my original KE7 there was only one option CF-Root which installed CWM 1.80 and SU2.3.2 - no mention of insecure etc.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] val5:

Sorry for this newbie question but I hope its kind of related.

I rooted my SGS2 with CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4 when I first got my phone a couple months ago and haven't done anything to it since. I updated to Superuser 3.0 today and it tells me to update my "su binary" which I can do through the app. Is this ok as I don't want to loose my root access which seems to be happening to some folks.

Thanks guys

Yes yiu can. And no you wont lose root...but... some people have had a problem getting the updstes to work as su isn'tgive root sccess to itself. If uou have that issue then go to http://androidsu.com under superuser you will find the cwm zip for 2.2 and above. Flash that from recovery.

Sorry if this is a little "off topic"

I am new to the Samsung devices, just got my Galaxy s II yesterday, and I was wondering if it is possibly to flash just the CWM4 recovery partition, without touching anything else on the phone. I want to keep the original kernel, and also

leave everything else untouched, at last until I have a nandroid backup of the phone. On other devices with "unlocked boot loaders", it is possibly to flash just a partition just using fastboot; but fastboot mode is not be available in the Galaxy S II, unless I am missing something.

When I do a backup with the CWM included with CF-Root, I end up with a backup of about 1GB in size.

If I try and flash a new ROM and it goes wrong for whatever reason will doing a restore of my backup put me back to the current ROM/kernel/modem etc. versions

i.e. as long as I have a backup and I can get back into CWM, I can get back to my current state?

I had a problem with obtain su permission with titanium backup sometimes.

Su 3.0.2

cf root ki3 4.1 and 4.2 (tried both).

Also root explorer can use proper command from busybox to obtain space information. I mailed to root explorer creator and this is what he reply

Ah, I think I know what’s happening here. The used/free space is obtained using a Linux command provided with Android. For some reason the version of this command provided in recent Android versions only shows whole values in whatever unit it is using. So in your case it is showing 10.0 GB instead of 10.72 and 5 GB instead of 5.80.

You can get round this by installing busybox. This provides an equivalent command which gives the correct results. The easiest way to install busybox is using a free app called BusyBox by Stephen (Stericson). Here’s a link to the app:

https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox

If I update in KIES.. Will I have CF ROOT option ?

I just tested CF-Root kernel for XXKI3 on my XWKI8.

CWM worked, root / su was running OK, busybox available.

Seems to be working ...

... but ...

after I tried to flash a zip from SD card, the installation aborted, app was broken, my Google account(s) were deleted and I could not add a new Google account.

Grr ...

So, I restored my backup and rooted my XWKI8 without CF-Root kernel - with SuperOneClick as described in Intratech's thread.

So, I am still waiting for CF-Root kernel for XWKI8.

EDIT: Sorry, I only forgot to wipe the cache before installing the zip from SD card.

Nevertheless, now running CF-Root XWKI8 kernel - best fitting for my current ROM.

Hi, Got Intratech's KI8 FW downloaded, just need the right CF-kernel before I install.. :)

Reading though the last few posts, and after checking post 6, I see that there's no CF-root for KI8 yet..

In Intratech's KI8 FW the phone/modem is KI4, but I'm guessing that dose not mean I use CF's kernel for KI4??

Which means that I have to wait until Chainfire has the good grace and time to make a kernel for KI8 :D
