i'm tired of reading this damn BIG forum, so please, can someone help me?

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

and nothing happens. after i booted the phone (home + vol down +power) and pressed up to enter downloading mode, i connect it to the computer, started odin and this is the result. In device manager I have "gadget serial control" under other devices, and I don't have a driver for it. Should I have?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Willie_Heckerslyke:
Have you installed Kies? It will install the required drivers.

Sounds like the device isn't being recognised (do you get the Yellow box with 'com(#)' showing up in Odin when you connect the phone?)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Willie_Heckerslyke:
I've got rid of the pesky yellow exclamation mark thanks to this guide - many thanks!

One thing with this CWM though is, if I try to back up my current rom with the phone booted up and in the CWM Manager, it asks me to name the back up as usual and reboots into recovery, but it just flashes up for a second then continues to boot up normally - without actually backing up the rom!

It does show up in the 'Restore' section of CWM Manager, but with a zero file size...

If I reboot into Recovery via CWM Manager and choose Backup from the options, it does so properly. I like to name my rom backups so I know exactly which one they are - not just dated, which is how it does it this way. There used to be a facility to rename these type of backups in the 'Manage Backups' section of the stand-alone ROM Manager app, but not in this version.

Can this be an item on the 'To-Do' list for any future updates?

Thanks

Difference between cfroot versions is in 1st post. Different superuser app included etc

I've recently upgraded from LPB to LPH (intratech's frankenstein) using Mobile Odin pro.

During the upgrade I opted to keep root with everroot

After the upgrade I'm rooted, but realised I still have the stock recovery rather than CWM (I like CWM of course for doing backups)

Normally I'd simple reflash the cf-root kernel, but given the issues with insecure/secure kernels on this rom I'm wondering what the recommended route is at this point.

Can anyone recommend a simple app to check if I have the issue currently?

And is one way of getting cwm on there better than another to avoid introducing this issue?

Probably an app that you're using is making it reboot. It's almost certainly not the kernel, unless you have changed CPU freq voltages.

Can't find my version..

Hi guys.. As the title says, I don't see the one for me available.

It's KK1, and I can only see KK2 and KK5. Can I use another one, or should I use another way to root? [Is there another way?]
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
KK2 should work fine for you.

Hi,

my kernel version is 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555root@DELL101 #2

I just want to make sure i understood the instructions on how to root my galaxy s2.

Firstly i have to install samsung kies 2.0 to install the usb drivers.

Then reboot my phone into download phone , start odin and connect device, check only auto reboot and f. reset time then click the PDA button and select kernel i downloaded(?) then click start and it will install and reboot.

Then start SuperOneCLick to root the phone?

Which kernel should I use? I really have no clue.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
First, from what you've post about your kernel, this one from post #4 should be correct: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4.zip

open your dailer and press "#1234# and check that your "PDA" is also XWKF3..

Remember after checking that your drivers for Keis are up to date that you make sure Keis is killed and not running before you start Odin and connet your phone..

After flashing the Cf-root kernel, you will have root, so no need to think about "superone click" ;)

Look in your app draw and you should "superuser" & "CWM" apps installed..

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Wampirate:
Thanks for help Rinoko72.

I press #1234# and dial and it tells me that the servive is unavailable, what should i do?

EDIT:

Okay I found it's supposed to be *#1234# :) And yes, the PDA is also XWKF3

One more question though, how do i check if the drivers for Keis are up and how do I kill it(task manager?)?

What is custom kernel flash counter?

And is there a way to get back to stock rom and stock kernel?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
Sorry about the typo :o

start Kies, don't connect your phone, check for updates, the latest version is 2.0 I think..

open you task manager on your pc and see if Kies is running, if it is kill it :)

the kernel counter is nothing you really "have to" do anything about unless you need you send your phone in..

If you do want to remove it, a jig is the best bet, Chainfire's method works but I have a jig.. ;)

getting back to completly stock is done by flashing the offical Fw from intratech's thread, with stock kernel..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:

KL1 is failing on my tmobile s2

Kernel: 2.6.35.11

Build #: GINGERBREAD.UVKL1

Im using the kl1 v5.0 cf kernel but it is failing in Odin.

I keep getting "operation failed"

Do I need to use a different kernel?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
Try turn your phone off.

Press and hold "volume up + home + power button" and you should get in to recovery..

From there you can go to "backup &Restore" then I think you go to restore > restore from internal sd card...

Then you should find your CheckRom backup and and reinstall that..

Good luck..

If not, make sure you have the correct cf-root and just flash it again via Odin..

Using Chainfires InitialCFRoot flasher ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jerome.d:
Thanks for that. Is there a chance to include a workaround inside the forthcoming CF-root kernels, or will we have to perform these operations with every new flash?

Also, I am not sure this has been mentioned here (it has in the LPH thread), but when I first flash LPH with Mobile Odin Pro, without CF-root but using the "everoot" option, I ended up with a non-rooted phone. I then had (for other reasons I think) to reflash and, this time, while flasing all the other pieces of LPH I simply directly included CF-root LPH instead of the stock kernel. I ended up with a rooted phone (this is to be expected, the kernel being CF-Root), but without using everoot of course.

I have bought a new S2 phone.

I want to make ROOT.

my karnel

2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI4-CL611039

What does that mean?

I have to use the KI4 CWM4 only? or there is a way to use CWM5 Karnel ?

another issue is after I'm burning "root", ken I use official roms from Samsung?

I mean from the samsung site?

Thanks

Felix
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yes use the last KI4 zip from the first page. You can flash any ROM you want specially when you're rooted. However be aware that sometimes after flashing an official ROM you might need to root again because the kernel will be replaced by stock.

No KI4 CWM5, what you see on page 1 is what you can get.

Why don't you just flash cf-root, boot to recovery then do a nandroid backup of your ROM. Then you will always have a backup of your original ROM.

I'm not trying to come across as an ass-licker of some sort, but lately I've cought myself taking Chainfire's CF-Root kernels, a bit for granted...

Your post actually made me take a step back and think a little about how blessed we are that some people dedicate their spare time & knowledge to make our hobby the best one there is.

I think I can speak on behalf of many when I say that whenever Sammy releases/leaks a new kernel, we're like excessively refreshing Chainfire's thread (this) to download he's newest CF-Root.

We can take the updates that are comming from the likes of Google and Sammy or any other manufacturers, for granted instead, because we have all thrown our money their way at some time.

But let's not forget there are others too, that contribute, free-of-charge, to make our lives a happier one.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Chainfire and all the others who makes our devices still look shiny around the edges, for their work and to urge all others to do the same as me...
