Don't do that - XWLP7 is Android 4.0.3 and XXLQ5 is Android 4.0.4.

Use CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip instead ... this kernel is made for your ROM.

Hi guys! Is the new CF-ROOT 5.6 for XXLPS safe?

Can I make wipes without any problems?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrcreativity:
Tried everything but wifi works fine with other kernels. I'll try reflashing.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
I recommend to use the "PROPER" one.

But be aware of Chainfire's comment => "*** = problems mounting secure storage"

So, be sure that all apps are stored on the phone/internal sd card before flashing.

Good luck !

Do you mean "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5.zip" or "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LQ5-v5.6-CWM5.zip"?

XXLPS never was "unsafe" as far as I know.

And the CF-Root v5.6 for XXLQ5 is "safe".
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Gwystyl:
Except that CF-Root v5.6 for XXLQ5 is for Android 4.0.4, so I would strongly advise against using that for a Android 4.0.3. firmware.

Just use the one that is closest to your own firmware and has the same android version, then you have the smalles chance of things going wrong. Also I would be surprised if you'd notice the difference between v 5.4 or 5.6 in practice.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
He's on vacation.

99% likelihood that the XWLPM and XXLQ5 kernels are identical.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
ALL source-built kernels are safe, along with any kernel older than XXLQ5 and XWLPM. NEWER KERNELS ARE LIKELY DANGEROUS.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Yeah, Chainfire just updated his TraingleAway app for some SGS3 (US) versions/models and changed his signature that he is on vacation now (till Mid August).

I can confirm the 99% likelihood that XWLPM and XWLQ5 kernels are identical:

Both kernels have nearly the same benchmark results in my tests.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rush25:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Are you sure that KIES is not running - no Kies process should be active in TaskManager when flashing with Odin.

Try to flash the kernel again.

If it does not help, you may have to flash the whole ROM again.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yamen.meddeb:
Try the Stock XXKI3 from here (wipe) and check repartition with a pit file, mormally it will work, if not go to warranty or riffbox.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Ouch mate, well you could always try applying again after a short while.

You're doing great work so far dude. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Emexrulsier:
The kernel I appear to need for my i9100p would be the LPH yet it is listed as having secure storage issues. So then what effect would this have on my device and what are my options?

On a side note in regards to the yellow triangle lets not look at removing it but altering it to show how dedication to one chosen kernel?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hakaz:
I can confirm that too, all files within (including the lib/module/*.do) are identical but the stock recovery binaries, which has obviously no influence while using CWM ;) .
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TheSpaceManatee:
Hi does the lp9 have the super brick bug?

Edit: if so can i use lpq instead?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Don't use LP9...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25450682&postcount=5338

Go onto a custom kernel like Siyah instead to be completely safe.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TheSpaceManatee:
So i can just flash siyah .tar without using cf root kernel first? Wow i thought i had to flash cf root first then go to cwm and flaah siyah kernel. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
No you don't have to.

Just flash Siyah tar in ODIN.

Only flash CF-Root back, if you loose root.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TheSpaceManatee:
So people use cf root kernel just to keep as close as possible to stock? Lol scared the **** out of me. After i flash siyah will there be a samsung logo with yellow triangle before siyah logo shows up? I rooted my friends kl3 with cf root and then flashed siyah and theres samaung logo before siyah logo. Thanks.

Edit: guess i did an extra step for my friend T.T
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Phil3759:
Yes, you will have yellow triangle

There is an app called Triangle Away to remove it. To root and keep complete stock kernel and no yellow triangle, look at the link in my signature. CF_Root will mainly give you permanent custom cwm

Edit: please avoid posting same question on many forums at once
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TheSpaceManatee:
Thanks. Ive decided to not flash cf root but instead just move on to flash siyah kernel directly on top of stock kernel as it is safer. Thanks to everyone :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Have fun flashing mate! :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MeX_DK:
I dont believe the kernel is exactly the same considering the rom version has changed. So the kernel has most likely as well.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Phil3759:
Yes, recovery changed to fix mmc cap brick bug
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dweeboid:
I9100xwlpm

Hi All,

kind of a noob here, but while reading through the posts i am totaly confused now.

I downloaded I9100XWLPM_I9100OXELP8 from sammobile, what is the correct "CF-root" kernel that i should be using to root ?

The reason i am asking is, from what i gather, the XWLPM may have the same problem as LQ5 ?

thank you....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MeX_DK:
That bug has not been fixed in XWLPM, the mm_cap_erase error is still there.

It has the same issues as XXLQ5, MM_CAP_ERASE has not been removed as a capacity flag and thus you are still at risk from bricking.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Phil3759:
Use cf root lq5-v5.6 as it is safe

Yes, but stock recovery is now safe, unlike lq5
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dweeboid:
Thanks Phil,

So i can use the L5Q 5.6, and also use CWM without any worry ? or ?

sorry, still a bit confused.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MeX_DK:
I'm personally not upgrading to XWLPM till there is a official cf-root kernel for it, or another XWLPM kernel that gives me root but also fixes the mm cap erase bug so I can do backups/restores without risking a brick.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tylerdurden83:
Like the new Siyah?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MeX_DK:
Is it based on XWLPM ? And has cwm with progress bar?

And why is it actually power to select in cwm now and not the home button anymore :(

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] thorazine74:
How did you find out? If you just guess it after performing a wipe on a specific device and not suffering any brick, I think it would be better to get some more solid proofs than that.

Sent from MyToasterOven using SmokeSignals
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] thorazine74:
Judging from what I can understand,

- Wiping should be safe (but not personally tested by CF).

- Restoring nandroud backups should be safe (as long as this is done by the same recovery binary, which I don t know for sure, maybe someone can confirm?).

- Flashing roms or kernels Zips that have format commands in their update script may be dangerous.

Sent from MyToasterOven using SmokeSignals
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Phil3759:
If you bother to read the last 10 pages of the 3 dedicated threads, you'll get your proof

And why wipe should be safe and format no?

To stop the confusion, think it this way, for all noobs

- Avoid flashing LQ5 by all means

- LPM pure stock and its stock recovery are safe

- Never use cwm recovery on a stock LQ5 or LPM kernel

- Flash cf_root_LQ5_v5.6 kernel if you really need cwm on a 4.0.4 ROM, it is reported to be safe (no bricks reported). Tested by myself on a buggy chipset
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lukiqq:
Most recent 4.0.4 is 100% safe because it is based on sources newer than available at Samsung Open Source Release Center, this bug has been fixed in Update4 sources.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MeX_DK:
Yea but it doesn't have working camera and thus is pretty much useless to me. I need a working camea >.<
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] thorazine74:
My point simply is that:

- As long as we have a kernel that contains the MMC_CAP_ERASE flag.

- And a stock recovery that we dont know for sure how its performing the wipes.

I would not dare to make those kind of bold statements based just on anecdotal data like "tested by myself" or "no bricks reported" but if you feel so sure about it feel free to do so.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Phil3759:
Yes, but let people enjoy the safe STOCK LPM
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] khrone:
Been reading the past 20 pages and still somewhat confused if using LQ5/LPM are safe to use... so basically if i odin up LPM as it is now and leave it be its safe and if i start messing around with root (CF and/or Siyah) i get into trouble quickly? Tempting to try 4.0.4 versions but dont want to brick my phone
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Phil3759:
Siyah is not yet fully optimized for 4.0.4, but it is safe

LQ5 is to avoid, even stock

LPM is safe on stock, until you use cwm

To use cwm on LPM, flash the last cf root kernel LQ5 v5.6

Problem is when using wipe in cwm, not root by its self
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
If camera is not working for you its most likely not SiyahKernel fault.

When I ran Siyah, I had no issues with the camera or any of its functions.

Sent from my HTC One X using Xparent ICS Blue Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] khrone:
So better to wait until a stable and working kernel comes along before using 4.0.4 or then just wait for a different 4.0.4 rom thats close to Finland to use as complete stock (ie full wipes and formats -> odin install)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Siberian Tiger:
Been on LPM since the last 4 days now running siyah 3.4.1 and the fix for the camera from tungstwenty .No problems at all.Didn't tried a wipe factory reset only cache and dalvik.

If I want to wipe I''ll downgrade to LPG (4.0.3) ;)

EDIT: Rooted first with cfroot LQ5
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] khrone:
Mainly tempted to try 4.0.4 because of the built in battery %, since thats really my only need from a rom. Everything else is just a plus. Sure stock roms also get % but with an app.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MeX_DK:
According the people over at the Siyah thread, the recent 3.4.1 kernel does in fact not come with working camera on 4.0.4 unless you apply the fix one of the other devs has supplied.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] leolysenko:
Hi

Can anyone point me where have you seen a brick caused by stock recovery usage on xxlq5 or xwlpm kernels?

I dont think stock is dangerous. I have the "bad" chip but used to wipe from stock recovery on xxlq5. No problem.

Who has a brick with stock kernels without CWM?

Are there posts about it?

I am really interested cause in my opinion it is just a roumor. Am I wrong?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Phil3759:
If you flash a stock partition, you get back stock recovery, no worries

No, you are left with cwm manager app and some system files and maybe busybox if you install it.

100% method is full wipe include format /system and flash a full stock rom in odin
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] A22AC:
Can u guide me how to full wipe?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] g3ckospy:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] g3ckospy:
Yup.. if you want to flash another rom using odin after restart just take the batt off and put it on downlaod mode..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Phil3759:
You cannot format /system in stock recovery if i am not mistaken, only cwm. Format in cwm with lpm is dangerous, better flash a stock lpg for that

Are you sure it is a .tar file and not the zip file? It is going to cause problems if it's a zip file.

Try to flash the stock kernel back to your phone.

If that does not help, try to boot into recovery mode (press Volume UP + Home + Power until recovery menu appears), wipe cache and reboot.

If that does not help, you may have to do a fctory reset/wipe data or re-flash the whole ROM.

Good luck !

Kernel causing sensors to fail?

Hello all.

I've flashed LQ5-v5.6 from post #8 in this thread a while ago.

And as of the last week, I've noticed my accelometer sensor stopped working (I'm not using accelometer so much, so I didn't noticed it),

I've tried it several times and things (including restore nandroid backup) and re-flushing LQ5, and this returned...

I've tried my last one (LPD-v5.5) from the same post and it made this phenomenon gone...

I'm going to try one of the other kernels there.

Flash c.f. root to get root access and then flash any custom Rom you want.
