Yes this will leave your stock firmware as is.

Youre only flashing kernel.

Will root, add superuser app, Clockwork recovery, CWM manager app and busy box

You will still be on stock rom but your phone will be rooted.

Hi guys.

I just flashed the xxkg6 and it was succesfull but i dont have superuser or root.

what has gone wrong i dont get it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Huck33:
do we have option for backup and restore when the phone has rebooted into CWM recovery?

because i don't have these options, and nothing happens when i tried directly from CWM...

Maybe im blind, but i dont see anywhere my kernel: UHKE5...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] swiftkill3r:
I have already rooted my galaxy s2 as soon as i bought it. There is a new update on kies for my phone which will give me signal boost app as i really need that. If i update will i lose my root?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] khal_nayak:
yes u will loose
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] swiftkill3r:
so will have to flash a different kernel then in order to gain root access again or just the same files as before?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] khal_nayak:
based on the kernel u get in the update, just download the equivalent cf-root kernel or a newer one for the same android version and it should be fine again

Guys, im kind of lost. On galaxyS days, i can use any method available to root my phone. now on galaxys2 im seeing that i should use the files that were built with my kernel. How bad could be try to root with a file different than my kernel? im on UHKE5, so what could happen if i try to root with KE7?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pharaohdk:
Ok my kernal version is 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555

So the root kernal I should use is this one

CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4.zip

Correct?

and to disable the yellow triangle after I just flash the PDA from I9100XWKF3 ## that is found on samfirmware.com ? since that is stock kernal.

And then follow the other steps from the 1 post
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tygoger:

+1 for BLN and thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Modified stock kernels do not do BLN. Only custom kernels do.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gspears:
I'm with you and would like to stick with stock, but I like BLN better so I've been using Ninphetamine kernel and so far all is well except I can't send MMS, can receive just can't send. Not sure if that's AT&Ts fault, ROM fault (KG6) or what, and not sure it has anything to do with the kernel, but it's not working.

BLN however is working well even on Samsung's apps with a couple of other mods you can find if you search for BLN.

Anyway, good luck whichever direction you pursue.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] joelteixeira:
I know that you are unspeakably busy, and do not accept requests for outdated kernel versions. This is very clear, but I would like to ask you please for a CF-Root for the kernel "ZTO UHKE4" because this is the latest kernel of the Brazilian "Galaxy S2".
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Cowboy X:
In most cases I see guys telling new people to get the same version kernel as the Samsung original. But then I also see forum members clamoring for 'newer' kernels. I just needed to know when the to stick with the CF-KG5 of try the CF-KG7. The demand for KG6 and KG7 kernels simply made me wonder if there were any improvement over KG5. But then some people in this very thread say that KG5,6 and 7 are interchangeable. If they are ............... what are the benefits if any of going for 7?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pharaohdk:
awesome root :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
The kernels are rom specific, whatever firmware you have that's a clue to what kernel you should use.

Since all these three roms are basically the same. Released at the same time, just in different regions.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tonycfc:
Hello everyone, I am very new to Android so I need to clarify a few things before I start flashing.

My phone's firmware is as follows:

Baseband version: I9100UHKG4

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100UHKG7-CL417954 se.infra@SEP-50 #2

So, in order to gain root, all I have to do is flash the PDA file of (CF-Root-SGS2_UH_MUL_KG7-v4.1-CWM4.zip) right?

Secondly, if I wanted to restore back my original firmware, that is UHKG7, I should use this and flash PDA, CSC and PHONE right?

To remove triangle, I just need UHKG7 Stock Kernel only yes?

Sorry for the long post, I have to make sure as my English is not that good! Professional advice needed! :P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JGS2:

Or I have to do anything else, before applying the official update?

Thanks.

Just a quick one. I am experiencing lag on my phone (homescreen, scrolling through large list of apps in a folder) from a recent official firmware update from UHKE2 to UHKG7 so I want to do a factory wipe/reset on CWM.

I have rooted using CF-Root and removed the yellow triangle. After doing a factory wipe/reset, will I still have root access and CF-Root's CWM and the Superuser app?

Do you recommend clearing the cache and Dalvik also?

EDIT: I did a factory reset and the firmware remained untouched(still rooted, UHKG7, busybox and CWM intact) and I am still experiencing a little lag (stock UHKG7 problem) when I scroll through folders with a lot of apps. Nevertheless CF-Root rocks! Thanks Chainfire!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TheMegastar:
Hi Chainfire, I downloaded and successfully rooted with a CF Root for KF3. But my question is that the CWM Manager bundled with this file is a very old version (version 2.0) Why don't you bundle the latest version of CWM Manager with your CF Roots? Now I cannot install the latest version of CWM v4.0.1.5 even if I want to, because I will have to change my Kernel also to do that! I'd like to remain on my current kernel KF3 till an official update comes out in India via Kies. I wanted to flash UOT kitchen cooked zip file to modify my SGS II's boot animation, fonts, icons etc. but am uable to do so because there is no option to disable "signature verification" in the ANCIENT CWM version which you have packed with the CF Root for KF3! So will you please make amends for your mistake and REPACK THE CF ROOT FILE FOR KF3 AGAIN WITH THE LATEST CWM VERSION 4.0.1.5???

EDIT : Ok, never mind......finally figured it all out on my own, without any/much help coming from the veterans on this board. Managed to install the CWM latest version via Odin. And got my UOT Kitchen mods to work also (well most of them worked like fonts, notification screen, windows animation, icons.....but boot animation did not work. No worries, am happy with the changes I made in the appearance of my phone.....will try some more later. Cheers!
