If you more prefere a stockbased Kernel and a CWM Recovery you should try

PhilZ-cwm6 - Safe Stock Based Kernel v3.71

There is a Version (signed ZIP) that could be installed via Stock Recovery

Using this Version you have root (SuperSU) and CWM Recovery

<< 27 nov 2012 - PhilZ-cwm6 v3.71 with CWM 6.0.1.9 based recovery >>

< Update to PhilZ Touch 3.39 based recovery>

Didn't work for me

Just tried flashing CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5 but didn't work. At the yellow triangle it goes black. I have followed the instructions,I wonder what's gone wrong. I was on stock 4.0.4 kernel LPH. I guess my best option is to flash the original stock kernel and try some other method to root???

Hello I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out which file to use. Here is what it says for me under Kernel version

3.0.15-I9100MUGLD3-CL377577se.infra@SEP-74 #3

I have the Bell SGS2 on stock android version 4.0.3
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
You have the Canadian/Bell version of the SGS2 (GT-I9100M).

Have you already read this => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193695?

There you will find instructions how to root your phone using "any" CF-Root kernel.

As you have Android 4.0.3, I would recommend to flash a CF-Root kernel for the same Android version, such as CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5.zip from post #5 (oh ... first posts seems to be scrumbled. Last time it was post #8?!).

Good luck !

Rendering issue with camera and youtube when using CF-Root kernel

Hello, I am having a problem when I apply the CF-Rooted kernel to my Galaxy S2. I have the stock 4.0.4 on the phone, all the camera apps and Youtube work as they should, but when I flash the CF-Rooted Kernel for my device, Youtube videos play but don't render the video showing only a blank screen and non-standard ICS camera apps do not show a preview of the lens, only a blank screen.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tanis64:
Chainfire stop working on CF-Root so for the newer ROMs you should use PhilZ or another Method to root!

This CF-Root here is for the GT-I9100 can't say if it also works on a GT-I9100P,but i think this will explain the malfunction of some devices that have kernel bound drivers.

Yes, I saw that he had stopped dev on the Kernel. And I think you're right about the functionality going, I don't have any use for the NFC in the i9100p model, so from the other posts thought the i9100 kernel would be fine. Thanks for the advice about using Philz, I can get root with the CF-Root kernel, but would like to find a kernel that's as close to root as possible or as fully featured (so the standard functionality of my phone works with a stock rooted firmware).

*edit* Yep, Philz had the goods! BV_LPC kernel for the i9100p 4.0.4 stock rom.

I assume that BULP8 is your modem/baseband version, and your ROM/PDA version is BULPG.

As there is no CF-Root kernel for BULPG, use PhilZ-cwm6 kernel for BULPG from here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877270

In post #3 you will find the BULPG v3.99 kernel. Use the zip file which can be flashed in stock recovery.

You will get root and CWM recovery without touching the flash counter and without a yellow triangle.

HEATING ISSUES WITH SIYAH KERNEL v4.1.5

Hi, I flashed Siyah kernel v4.1.5 via odin for rooting purpose and everything went fine except that my phone's back cover, region near the camera warms up a bit. I guess it is having some heating issues. My stock kernel was XWLPT (Stock firmware: ICS 4.0.4). Can I flash via CWM recovery again the stock kernel XWLPT. I am already rooted though! HELP PLZ!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
I haven't those issues when I was on this kernel.

Have you already tried to wipe cache and Dalvik cache in recovery?

If not, give it a try.

Then charge your phone while turned off, then pull out the battery and wait for about 2 minutes.

Then put battery into the phone again, and boot it.

Hope that will help :fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] angelomaldito:
Not yet, but you can use PhilZ kernel, which is quite similar: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31310884

I've been using it instead of CF-Root since Phil patched the eMMC superbrick bug. Now that Samsung has patched the bug itself, I was looking for the CF-Root kernel again, but it seems that Chainfire's focus is now on the SGS3 side, and probably soon will move to the SGS4. Fortunately, PhilZ kernel is also awesome, and for me there's no reason why not stick with that.

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

You may never upgrade then, as last CF-Root kernel for the SGS2 was released almost 3 months ago (XWLPY). It seems that Chainfire has moved his focus to newer devices.

I've tried flashing both Philz and Siyah kernel. Both give me a boot screen (the one with the model nimber in it) and can't get passed it unless I wipe data/factory reset. So I was hoping to get CF-Root.

I could root the device following this thread:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2116549&highlight=root+ls8

No need to wipe. However, it doesn't include CWM, so I cannot make a nandroid backup. Can anyone tell me how can I get CWM now and how to install it?

Thanks.

EDIT: In the end I could flash Siyah beta4. I guess there was some problem with the stable version...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shahrozeumar:
Dude if you are on stock 4.0.4 and rooted then you cannot do a wipe data/factory reset from any CWM recovery. There is a brick risk. Only use the CWM that comes along with the Siyah kernel for wiping purpose. Downloas Odin version of Siyah v5.0.1 from gokhanmoral.com and flash it in download mode using Odin. Get rid of the triangle warning using triangle away app afterwards.

Would you please consider making a CF-Root for the XWLS8 dear ChainFire...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] angelomaldito:
PhilZ kernel is patched agaist the eMMC superbrick bug, and yes, I've done lots of full wipes recently, due to the JB LS8 boot stuck bug. Many other kerneks are patched as well, but I believe that Philz is the only stock based kernel that is patched. Important to note that the eMMC superbrick bug was apparently fixed by Samsung on 4.1.2 builds

---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

I had the same issue with Philz, but as you had the same problem with Siyah, it may be a LS8 firmware problem, as some have been suspecting, what would also explain why Samsung stopped/paused rolling the i9100 JB upgrade worldwide.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] egps2:
Hi I'm sure you're already aware but just in case your not, the PhilZ kernel is very similar to CF-root in that it provides root and cwm to the stock samsung kernel and does not increase the binary counter if flashed in stock recovery. The latest version is based on XWLSD with no changes other than adding root and cwm. See this thread for details if you wan't to read a bit more about it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877270

I also used to use cf-root before Siyah but now that I want to go back to stock I use PhilZ which is essentailly cf-root made by someone else :)

Thank for reply ma8, yeah Im aware of that, already seen it yesterday but I used to like CWM look known from Siyah and thats why I stick with DorimanX kernel, its awesome.

Chainfire has not updated his CF-Root kernel for recent ROM versions.

So you have to flash another rooted kernel, such as PhilZ-touch as zip file from external sd card in stock recovery (option is "Install update from sd card" or something like that).

1. SpeedMod K5-3 is not fully supporting CWM Manager v3.x. That's the reason for the message.

But you can boot into recovery and the do what you want to do in CWM recovery directly.

2. I assume that you tried to flash SiyahKernel as zip file in CWm recovery of SpeedMod.

This may lead to boot loop or stuck at boot situation.

So try to flash SiyahKernel tar file in PDA section of ODIN.

would need more information on what you ACTUALLY did to give you a more precise answe

How did you Update to new stock rom ? If you did with odin (normal way), then you should have lost the kernel and the recovery but it should work, or maybe you boot loop in which case you boot into the stock recovery and wipe chace and maybe also wipe data. If you did this but have the problem you mention i don't know what happend, but try flashing jeboo kernel with odin, it works on all jb roms and gives you back recovery.

If you had rooted before with cf kernel and stuck with stock rom and now updated OTA on the phone itself, your phone will crash and not work anymore. In this case you have to Flash the stock rom again via odin and then flash jeboo kernel for CWM and then root wint universal root zip. (install zip in CWM)

If you Updated with odin and then tried to re-root with this cf-kernel you will also have to reflash stock rom and then root the right way ;)
