i apologise but it still hasnt been confirmed.

is XX_OXA_KG2 the right kernel to flash or a different one? the vodafone one is BUKG2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MeX_DK:
Setttings - About Phone will tell you what kernel you should use.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marc.knuckle:
i am sorry mex dk but as i mentioned in the post, i know it is KG2 on the phone, i simply want to know if ANY KG2 can be used and if so that would confirm that XX_OXA_KG2 is okay
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MeX_DK:
Out of:

CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip

CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip

CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip

I would think the latter might be the best one to use in your case. I used the XX_OXA version of the KH3 one when I rooted mine so I think its a safe bet you can use the "same" kind to your KG2.

But if you need more help or anything then don't hesitate to hit me up in here or on PM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marc.knuckle:
cheers mate.

i thought that also as XX seems to be more appropriate to europe.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Kernels don't depend on regions, you could even flash a kernel from a Polish ROM if u wanted to and it would still work fine as long as the ROM base you're using is the same as the ROM base from which the kernel was extracted.

If that makes sense. :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] inkyadrian:
All your apps are stored in root/data/apps by the system. Copy that folder to your ext sd, then you can install them anytime you want.

I am using ke7 but have used kg6 and found no difference.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] uncanny:
Appreciate the replies. My SII's kernel is JPKH1, I've googled and can't find JPKH1 or JPKH2 AND JPKH3 CF-root. Please advise which CF-root should I use to root? I don't wanna mess up my shiny new SII. Thanks a bunch.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
I would suggest you update your ROM to KH3 or KH4.

Or you can use CF-Root KH3, it should work fine.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] roymustafa:
HI everyone.

I downloaded XXKH3 from Samfirmware. While flashing i changed CSC to this one GT_I9100_MULTI_CSC_OXEKF2. Now which version of CF ROOT do i have to flash?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Your ROM base should still be KH3 so use CF-Root KH3.

You can double check that in settings - about phone.

UGKG2 - CFROOT Request

Hi Chainfire,

Is it possible for you to make a CF-ROOT for the UGKG2 kernel (Bell/Virgin).

This is mainly because when I flash the stock kernel back, I lose the CWM recovery function. Many Canadians including me would really appreciate it if you could please make one for the UGKG2 kernel.

Thanks a lot for all the work and this is a very humble request, it is ofcourse up to you in the end.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tygoger:
You have to flash the cf-root after that. (Post 2, Step 8) Stock kernels never have cwm recovery.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 3py0n:
I have:

baseband I9100MUGKG2

kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100MUGKG2-CL371789...etc

Just wondering if I have to flash the KG2 kernel or does it not matter?

I'm very new to this and so don't want to screw anything up. I've done some reading but people say to flash the one that works best on your phone....don't want to trial and error like that, esp. if it's my first time :(

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I rooted a few weeks ago, and I too had the same firmware.

I used the	CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG2-v4.1-CWM4 kernel. A few days later I flashed the stock Bell kernel back on, it's available in the link in my signature. Root remained but most of the functionality of CWM is lost, recover, back up etc... after the Bell kernel is flashed on.

I'm still a noob however, so any dramatically techy questions are best left to the experts. Fill out your location/provider, etc... can help narrow things down.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 3py0n:
Hrmm...I don't mind flashing another kernel cause I have an unlocked SGS2 running on Rogers :P haha but yea...

I'm in Canada using the SGS2 on Rogers.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vlad88667:
Hi guys,

So I'm new to the galaxy s2, but I'll try to get this as clear and right as possible.

My kernel now: 2.6.35.7-I9100BUKG2-CL342890 root@DELL102 #2

So I need to download XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip

Did I get that right?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
If you're running 2.3.4 then that's correct, if not then you need one of the other KG2s.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rooster19:
I rooted using the other guide (and there was ROOT) and I need clockwork for some mods.

How do I get the CWM?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DJViking:
I guess you mean ClockworkMod (CWM)?

Would be interested in something similar. Since after flashing back to the stock kernel CWM wont work any more.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jake254:
Hello, I really didn't want to have to ask but I've been trying for hours now.

Used to have a Desire so Odin is kinda new to me but I follow the instructions exactly as you give them, but I keep getting '<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)'

I just don't think my computer is recognising my phone when its plugged in via download mode...

EDIT: ID:Com box does not turn yellow. I am assuming this is why it will not work...But I have no idea why...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dryspuri:
have you installed kies? if u have then reinstall & restart PC And then try again:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jake254:
I feel so stupid and had no idea I had to do this first as the device was recognised when not in download mode. Downloading Kies now. Thanks! Desire seemed so much easier...Shame the SGSII is the greatest device ever :D

Success!!! Thanks Chainfire and thanks dryspuri. Will be donating when I get paid :D

Best regards
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kryptoner:
Help help help

I downloaded cf root zip file for ke7, but when i unzip the file i see another .rar file and in it there is a zImage file. So where exactly is the .tar file?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DaFileFather:
it's not a rar file .. it is a tar file which is inside that zip. It only looks like a rar file :)

put your "view extensions" on in windows explorer.

thanks dude, it was my mistake!

i also got a boot loop after factory reset (in cwm)! luckily, i was able to restore an older nandroid backup. i'm on KE2 firmware.

- how should i perform a factory reset now (avoiding boot loops)?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] traspler:
Seems great but I guess I'll wait until there is a version with a CIFS module.

Yep.

That fixed it for me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tygoger:
Read the first and second post!!! It is all there
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] np231:
Thanks for the reply, one question though.

If I do this (Step 8), I will be flashing the ZImage from CF-Root Kernel. So in this case I won't have the stock kernel anymore after flashing, right?

This is the only reason I requested chainfire to make a CF-ROOT for MUGKG2 kernel. With a proper CF-Root stock kernel all of the other steps are gone, just flash it and you get everything. Correct me if I am wrong.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] theakkadian:
Hi, i have a SGS2, with XWKEBCL2 kernel (android 2.3.3) , can i flash with another kernel to get root?

I am not sure what I have done is a high risk or not but I flashed mine (Stock KH3) with different modems. I have tried KF4, KG1,KG2,KG6 and back to KH3. and then back to KG6 now.

have not noticed anything different so far apart from stronger WIFI from KGs series.

how about you guys..?

Download a modem file and flash it with Odin (Phone slot)

Do it with speedmod v40 via odin and works great, after that i installed cwm manager and applied stock kernel to delete yellow triangle from boot screen.

That's great right now.

But i have no system arabic enabled, just for browser, facebook ....

and some bugs like auto rotate.

I always use the modem that comes with the package. I never have a problem with conection in my city, ever! And most of the "leaked" KG# versions are on samfirmware.com.

Am I right to say that there is no official 2.3.4 so none of the downloads in this thread are 2.3.4?

There is a official 2.3.4 ROM and CF-Root has 2.3.4 kernels. There all on the first page.

when did you have kenel [CF-root v4.1] KH2? im using room stock DXKH2, which kenel is good for me?

thank you!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] meboy:
NM.. figured it out.

Upped from KG2 to KH3 modded full firmware by Intratech and then overwrote the kernal with root one from Chainfire here.

Now I have 2.3.4 and root, stock otherwise and everything works perfect.

much better battery, no more stupid sms time issue, faster gps lock on, etc.

--

How would I know which one was based on what?

I'm KG2 and running "CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG2-v4.1-CWM4" currently (which is 2.3.3).

I guess I would need a 2.3.4 based kernal plus a 2.3.4 ROM? But there is no official 2.3.4 kernal/ROM yet right?

Sorry, I'm new to Android but the stupid questions will end fast.
