[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] y0.o!:
well i feel like a d***... i never used that before, I always used the power button. pluss when all these problems were happening, my phone would boot directly into cwm and i couldn't boot into the phone. I managed to fix that one some how.

cheers for the home button suggestion lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] amadablam:
Thanks for your help. :)

Upgraded firmware, stock kernel and then flashed CF-Root and now have a rooted SG2 :D

All went very smooth :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Glad to hear you succeeded
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ashok:
will there be a cf-root for KG1?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bclark:
Nope, BC you asked for an eta. Now we're all screwed BC we have to stay on kf2. :p

Actually im sure Chainfire will publish it shortly, it has been talked about for the past few pages. He is rarely around on the weekends
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] wooky321:
Just to get my head around this....basically what I need to do is.

1.flash CF root kernal that matches my stock one on the device

2.either flash stock back or use the jig to get rid of the triangle

3. flash a rom via CWM?

or for step two would I be best to flash stock kernal even if I use the jig to get rid of the triangle?

OR

If I want to install lite'ning rom i just flash it via odin and its all done; no triangle, no extra flashing of kernals? Just scared of flashing the wrong kernal if my device isnt a "XXKF2" kernal which the rom is and braking my new SG2 :(.

Sorry for the post but just trying to tie stuff up :p

Thanks

Hi guys! I bought my SGS2 online which was used for a week.

It has root but No CWM!

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-i9100XWKDD-CL161513 root@DELL103 #2

Build Number: XWKE2

Recovery takes me to #e recovery not CW. Please someone guide me. Can i just reflash another kernel.?

CWM3 compatible with ROM manager?

im on KF2 with CWM3.. is CWM3 compatible with rom manager?? my device is rooted and then flashed with the original kernel for triangle removal..

when i reboot it in recovery using Rom Manager, it gives me the following message:

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed :(

any idea of what has gone wrong here? and how do i get to recovery mode if lets say my phone is bricked.. coz all i know is rom manager that can take me to recovery mode of CWM..

Did you find out I've got no SD showing in CWM had to place rom.zip in directory on phone
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] crypticc:
Read OP. Just pick your kernel then odin the bad-boy into your phone..root or no root doesn't make a difference. If you haven't a jig there's instructions to reset the custom root counter and warning triangle
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simonthor:
a quick question.. Would it be possible to reset the rom counter without the use of a jig? I don't really want to buy one, and building one seems even more complicated. (Seeing that I hate using resistors and stuff like that)

Edit: Wouldn't it be possible to build/create a program which will do the same thing?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
nvm

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jlevy73:
I don't believe the source code for 2.3.4 kernel was released yet. We'll need that before chainfire can provided a CF-root version of it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mguel:
Sure, but if it's real what I quoted, and ppl are installing 2.3.4 to try it, imo I would prefer using it unrooted for some days instead of using it with old kernel which won't let me really test 2.3.4 performance... and make me think all/most things/problems are unchanged.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] poofish:
The OP clearly says that clockworkmod is NOT compatible with ROM manager. You can reach recovery by simply turning the phone off then holding volume UP + home button + power button. It will boot into clockworkmod recovery that way.

EDIT: if you flashed the stock kernel over the cf-root one you might have lost cwm recovery. Flash back to cf-root kernel and then try the 3rd button combo again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jlevy73:
Truth!.....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sorg:
Chainfire doesn't use kernel source code to make CF-root. It's stock binary with customized initramfs (with CWM integrated).

It took me some time to figure out correct actions to re-pack KG1 kernel with CF-root's initramfs. Looks like it works at last.

But i think, Chainfire will release soon his own CF-root for KG1, so i don't need to upload result of my own experiment :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jlevy73:
Thanks for the clarification. Will be nice when that kernel is released.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sorg:
Actually, i thought that there will be a new version of kernel with 2.3.4, but it's not.

Kernel is the same 2.35.7 with just higher build number. Honestly, i don't think there are changes in kernel for 2.3.4... All changes should be on VM (android) side.

But in any case, it's better to use kernel build came with 2.3.4.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sorg:
ok.. here is my mod for stock KG1 kernel.

It's based on latest CWM released by Chainfire.

I've used KG1's initramfs and added CWM files.

Unzip it and flash tar file like normal CF-Root (either through CWM application, or Odin)

*Mod edit, attachment removed per OP request*
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jlevy73:
Thanks Sorg, will definitely try this out.

My question is .. can i use "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE7-v4.0-CWM4.zip" to root my phone. Or should/do i need to wait for a package with CF-Root and ZSKF4?

thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] GeForce66:
thx sorg !! your kernel works perfectly ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mywords4u:
I just flashed it and no problem so far. Thanks sorg.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Venator85:
@Sorg

I flashed your kernel via CWM app but I get a boot loop: the phone boots, shows the unlock screen, then reboots.

I'm on VillainRom 2.0.

Any hint?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nobnut:
You should have unzipped and used ODIN.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] artbab:
Thanks mate...

yes this CF Root Kernel worked for me, just follow the steps on page 1. They are pretty clear. Flash the kernel through ODIN and it will root your phone automatically and have CWM.

Cheers

:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Venator85:
Thanks, will do.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] prosumerhacks:
good work by sorg... :)

first thing i noticed is camera pink spot :confused:... there are subtle difference.. like in Wireless>Kies menu etc... still looking... everyone who flashed pls report...

good work... camera pink spot is there tho...

Thanka

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vanessa13006:
Yep pink spot was there and still there. C'mon Samsung you can do it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BMWpokerAce:
@Sorg

Thanks for the good job!

So, your Kernel have the same function like any other CF-Root Kernel?

CWM Recovery 4

Rooting

and this is based on KG1 Kernel right?

Why should chainfire make a new CF KG1 CWM Kernel?

Sorg allready did it, or will be there a difference betw. Sorg´s and chainfire´s?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nobnut:
... or the kitten gets it!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vanessa13006:
I don't want to shoot this poor little kitten. I want to shoot Samsung for this ugly pink spot :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sorg:
yes, everything should be the same as Chainfire's mod, but it's based on scripts and binaries from KG1.

as for boot loop - i think it's after factory reset. I didn't try it yet, but i'm not sure how this modified kernel will work with non-stock firmwares.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vanessa13006:
Look what i see when i take a photo:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] evs65:
Try it on VillainROM 2.0.0 - works perfectly!

Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nobnut:
Nasty! Isn't it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Venator85:
Tried flashing sorg's kernel with Odin. No luck, still boot-loop.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nobnut:
Try reflashing your ROM again. You may have done somethign nasty when you tried to flash the kernel using CWM.

Then reflash the kernel using ODIN.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Venator85:
The VillainROM installation instructions say to install it via recovery. Is it OK?

Thanks for help ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Sorry but I'm not OK with people cloning my kernels (without express permission) and hijacking my threads.

(Note that you may still distribute them with your ROMs in unmodified form)

A KG1 version is in the works, CF-Root 4.1, will have some minor changes.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eybee1970:
Odin only....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DruNKfuX:
from 1st post:

CF-Root/CWM4 is NOT compatible with ROM Manager! Manage/perform your backup/restores from CWM directly or using the CWM Manager application included with CF-Root
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynameisjon:
You can use CWM if you're ALREADY installed a previous version of CF.

NOT rom manager though, you need to make sure it's CWM Manager.

Use the option "Flash Kernel", then select the zip file that you've just downloaded.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sorg:
I'm sorry. I didn't want to hijack your thread or steal your work. Just wanted to let people enjoy 2.3.4 while waiting kernel from you.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] steslatt:
To update to KG1 can I just flash the zImage in CWM? I have previous CF root.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Try4Ce:
Well, you should use Odin to flash the kernel. Works flawlessly.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Northern-Loop:
Thanks, Flashed and all working now. Just creating a backup now :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] steslatt:
Yes but if I use odin I will get the yellow triangle again and will have to remove it by flashing stock kernal then flash the zImage in cwm, so i was wondering if i could just flash the zImage instead?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bypx:
Or you can use the jig.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] steslatt:
Its all needless if you can just flash the zImage instead.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Willie_Heckerslyke:
Just to clarify - The charging to 100% guidline before flashing...it's only for when flashing a new ROM aint it (to calibrate the battery...) not kernels/modems etc?

Suffered a memory guff :o
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
I flashed this and everything seems to working just fine, did a nandroid backup and feel much safer trying other things now (just like I did with my HTC Desire)

But I like to use QtADB and since flashing this I get the following error when launching it:

Is this expected, to remove the 100% full warning I successfully renamed some files in /system/media with QtADB but I don't seem to have that type of access anymore?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] FPRobber:
To completely remove every trace you'll also have to reset the custom binary counter. You need special hardware for that though: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1068522
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Hrti:
True that. Nevertheless (if I understand things correctly), these steps should remove every other trace other than the custom binary counter:

1: Remove superuser and busybox (adb or manually):

* Flash stock ROM and kernel through Odin. Boot up.

* Settings->Privacy->Factory data reset. Reboot.

Please correct me if I'm wrong :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] manuvaidya:
hmm.... now we have CWM also for SGS2, where r those Custom ROM cookers ? who kept complaining about lack of CWM for SGS2 ???

here u go devs, now can we expect some extra tweaks & modifications to so called custom ROMs ??? because so far, there r hardly any customisations done for the available Custom ROMs... not being so circastic here, just pointing out the fact... pls dont feel loffended devs...

we all love ur work & we will..... but keep up ur good work.... hoping for thee better modifications & tweaks for this bad boy thats all.... keep it up... expecting more & more custom ROMs with nice optimizations....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
So... It is out for less than 18 hours, and you are already complaining? You have ROMs available already. I worked round the issues related to lack of CWM by writing an app to install tweaks to your custom ROM...

Then you go "where are the custom ROMs". If that's not rude, I don't know what is. They are already here- see the dev forum. But remember some of us have "real jobs" too... XDA isn't my job, and I've got other things to do as well...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] elban:
you would also need to delete every link pointing to the busybox binary with a command like "find /system -lname *busybox" (untested)

flashing a stock rom should overwrite the system partition so I guess it's not needed anyway.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] crypticc:
Flash a non-custom rom. See intra tech thread.

I say this because I am presuming if you are asking for reversible process you still have the basics like odin, and functioning usb, power keys and the like.

I just noticed, after flashing the ke7 kernel, I can't access the system wiles with adb anymore.

then I type "adb remount" it gives me this error message:

"remount failed: Operation not permitted"

is there a way to mount the /system and /data folder with RW rights within ADB?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
A properly rooted ROM does not allow that indeed...

You need to do this through the shell:

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

Kernel under "about" shows as standard KE7 details and I can't see CWM under Applications.

It does root but you also get a very useful custom recovery called clockworkmod.

From CWM recovery you can flash roms and kernels directly from the phone, make full systema backups and other nice things :-)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] swatsbiz:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
If you have previous version of CF-Root you can use the CWM app to flash the kernel, and not get the yellow triangle again.

Those saying it's only ODIN should read up.

As for QtADB it needs updating. It's perfectly possible to modify system, but this is not an "insecure" kernel so...
