[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nilezon:
I installed that app without any problems.

I upgraded to LPQ from stock GB (NEE) today, and installed CF-Root 5.3 right away.

EDIT:

I did a full wipe before installing LPQ.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] redzion:
All is working withouth any problem.. CF-Root 5.3 LPQ is recommended from my side of view..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kenkiller:
Try it after a few reboots.

Alternatively, go to ur settings, apps and try to move some apps to sd after a few reboots.

Maybe it might be a previous config problem, but the behavior is similar to the old insecure sd problem. :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hardtype:
No problem with installing on stock LPQ
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] klarmacker:
ok i will test it with my solution back to stock. with special ext4 format

Anybody want to help me?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hIdd3N-:
of course there is no problem on stock kernel ;) my point was and is that cf root kernel fails app2sd forced apps :(

and yes, i did a full wipe. tried restoring sd apps and fresh install but no luck.

after reflashing stock kernel everything is fine. except of course there is no custom

cwm recovery mode anymore.

i'm so pissed at samsung... i mean. whats the point? if they did that on purpose they are huge &$%&/( and if it's all a code flaw. come on guys. u had MONTHS to sort this out!

I have the same problem when the microSD card is mounted with the cfroot kernel. Only solution for now to remove the card....

Does the XEB link version works with SEB, if it works should i have to install the seb kernel after the root to get 100% working my device? thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kR105!:
I want it too, please!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lamensterms:
What noticeable changes should I be able to notice after rooting to one of these kernels?

I think my browsers (google images in particular) are behaving a little different after rooting with the KF4 kernel - my original is in my signature. I have noticed that the full screen preview is now zoomable... But I can't remember if it was before I rooted or not.

So I was just wondering if someone could please let me know if this would be because of the kernel, or if the differences between kernels are more unnoticeable/behind the scenes?

Also... If the KF4 kernel is a little dated... Is it possible to flash a newer version without flashing a custom ROM? Would there be any benefit?

Thanks so much for any help.

No such prob mate with me. It installs right
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ballfire:
installed 4.0.3 lpq no issues... just installed cf root for lpq and a few apps went missing ??:confused: then i tried to reinstall the missing app but the in the market it says couldnt install on usb storage or sd card ???:confused::eek:

help !

how to reverse the cf root so i can get the apps back since i can't seem to install them from the market ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Spyr0s:
Do you have an external sd card? Im getting the error with stock XXLPQ + Cf-root-Q kernel, it's the same like XXLPH. I need to unmount my external sd card first then install the app or update from market. Also Titanium hangs when trying to restore this app.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
Try first to unmount your sdcard, install to your divice, then remount your sdcard and try moving them over...

Hi, i need CFroot for UHLPE ICS.

Best regards....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Mr.Greg:
ha ha ha:D you are very funny Lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mwarner:
I have verified that this is the case. I performed the following with the Poland LPQ & CF-Root LPQ:

1. Restore Paradise Island using Titanium with a 32GB uSD card installed -> Failed

2. Install Paradise Island from the Market with uSD installed -> Failed

3. Remove the uSD card physically -> Recovery via Titanium was OK, as was installation via the Market.

4. Unmount uSD card (with it physically inserted) -> All OK.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Yes, we all know this problem exists. It has been around for various ICS leak versions. The weird thing is, for a number of people, including myself, the problem has suddenly disappeared. We need to figure out why the problem has disappeared for some, but not for others. To repeat: every single app advised here to try to show the problem works fine on my installation.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Schrotty35:
Why have the cf lpq kernel the sd mounting bug and the original working fine???

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
LOL, well I thought he might consider it. I think his phone will be better off being a turtle anyways...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mwarner:
I have performed a little experimentation:

1. I put in my old 16GB uSD card to see if it was related to my 32GB card - installation failed.

2. I reformatted the 16GB card in Windows (as it had been used in my SGS2 and my Xoom) -> Installation succeeded

It would appear that the issue is related to the contents of the MicroSD card. I will backup my 32GB card (which may take a while!!) and then experiment on it.

I'm having the SD issue as well I'm wondering if it is something to do with a particular size or brand of sdcard?

I have a 32GB. Do people who are not having issues have a 16GB?

I upgrading from LPH without a wipe.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
When I tried an early build, LPH, I had no trouble with an 8gb card..

This problem could well be related to the size of your sdcard.. :eek:

Root withe CF kernel and flash back the stock kernel and your problems with the mounting is over.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Sometimes I wonder if people actually read more than 0 posts back.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mwarner:
Heh heh heh! Me too :)

Continuing my investigation, I have deleted all the Android specific folders on my 32GB card & tried to install Paradise Island. No luck this time either! Very odd.

My plan now is to:

1. Reformat the 32GB card (Quickformat in Windows). I fully expect this to solve the situation

2. Copy ALL the data I have previously backed up back on to the SD card. I am unsure whether this will allow me to install P.I. or not - this will be an interesting test.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mwarner:
Reformatted my 32GB card -> Paradise Island does not install!!

Both my 32GB card and 16GB card are FAT32 with a 32KB cluster size, so I see no reason why it does not work on my 32GB card but does on my 16Gb card.

More experimentation required.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mentalinc:
lol, I typed the message, had breakfast and realized I hadn't click submit when I got back...

On the bright side looks like we have narrowed it down to sdcard size issues.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mwarner:
I have erased the 32GB card in the phone, but the issue still persists. Very odd!

So far:

1. My original 16GB card caused the Failed to install issue with certain apps

2. Once quickformatted in Windows, the problem was solved

3. My 32GB card also had the installation failure

4. After quickformatting in Windows & Erasing in the phone, the installation failure persists.

I have issues with 16GB sd card
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mwarner:
Have you tried reformatting it? As I have mentioned above it did not work initially, but after a reformat everything was OK on my 16GB card. My 32GB card, on the other hand, is a different story as I have not managed to get it working at all as yet.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hIdd3N-:
I have 16 GB and issues. Formated with phone back in the gingerbread days
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Spyr0s:
No i didn't tried, flashed back stock kernel after rooting and now Paradise Island and Athens Transportation install without issues.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mwarner:
UPDATE: I have put my 16GB card back in (which worked fine an hour ago) and now that too is not allowing a restore in Titanium!! What is going on!?

UPDATE2: Ok, I can't get installs to work with my 16GB card inserted now, so I think I will give up for today. This is a very odd problem - I am beginning to doubt myself that I managed to get the 16GB card working, but I have been pretty meticulous so I am pretty certain it was working after the format. All very odd!

Incidentally, I did think at one time that it could be down to the name of the SD card, but I have experimented with this to no avail (in case people were thinking of continuing my experiments).

All in all I feel that the best bet for people with this issue is to reflash back to the stock kernel after rooting.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jayesh:
Something really broke on the sd-card front. I did a clean install. Not rooted yet. Configured camera to save images, to memory card. It takes the shot and won't save it there.

I have never had SD issues on either of the CF Kernels. So I think we can start to assume its SD card related and not Kernel related. I have a 32gig card in mine and its always worked like a charm

Can I install the 4.0.4 XEO ROM that's in the first message of another topic (server at netload) and then use CF-ROOT (from here: "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.zip" from http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1103399) to ROOT this new 4.0.3 ROM with nothing else to do?

2 - Wipe Dalvik Cache (if you have CWM)

3 - Wipe date

4 - Wipe cache partition

Reboot "After completion"

5 - Format usb storage again

6 - Type *2767*3855# (hard reset) "After completion"

Turn off the phone and press Vol Down + HOME Button + Power Button and wait

Start ODIN

In PDA ---> Select: GT-I9100_SEB_I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXXLPD_I9100XXLPQ.tar.md5

and connect the USB cable to your phone, click Start in Odin.

After flashed and everything installed, repeat steps 1-6. (if you want)

| After flashing |

Turn off the phone and press Vol Down + HOME Button + Power Button

Start ODIN

In PDA ---> Select: CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.tar

and connect the USB cable to your phone, click Start in Odin.

After flashed repeat steps 1-6 and wipe battery stats. (if you want)

Finally you have a super clean installation :D

PS: No problems detected in this version (XXLPQ)

I tried the reflash the kernel LPQ from CWM Recover mode and it said aborted as the zip was bad..

re-downloaded twice and same result..

Also tried flashing in CWM in phone and CWM crashed and locked up doing it

The same download has no problems flashing in Odin with tar..

The extracted zimage didnt seem to flash properly either using K-Tool

So the kernel is the issue with the SD Card thing?? I don't care I can live with it for now I install all my apps on internal SD anyhow

I see there is some talk about the sd card issue, where you get an error when trying to download/install certain apps from the market. Am getting:

This only happened after i installed ICS, had 2.3.6 rooted, before did not see this there.

The application i noticed this with was Line Runner, and only workaround i've found so far is to unmount the SD card while i install.

Chainfire i appreciate you work in Supersu, but this is the problem I don't want to pay twice for pro. because I had already bought superuser elite and I think you must give people a choice to download a CF-root with Supersu and CF-root with Superuser.

Can you please give instructions how to replace Supersu with superuser.

I had downloaded the zip file from the offical website and rebooted in clokworkmod recovery and tried to install it, but it says cannot mount sd card.

So can you please make a CF-root with the normal superuser app?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Superuser isn't made by me .... and I'm not going to make a separate version of CF-Root with Superuser.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
If the zip won't flash, you should just install it manually... Since you've got supersu, you have root in recovery :) So just adb into recovery and push the superuser files manually (the zip often has issues, I don't think superuser zip ever worked for me)

Or just use the free supersu? Technically speaking, I vastly prefer supersu, just for fixing the annoyances with superuser.

On stock LPQ kernel

On basically any LPQ kernel that isn't stock. :D

I hate Samsung. :) And yes, lazy to edit the pics to remove some what shall not be mentioned. :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jenskristian:
I started experiencing problems a couple of hours after flashing XXLPQ and thought I'd share what solved it for me.

1. Apps uninstalled themselves after a reboot.

2. Restoring with Titanium worked on some of the apps, others not so much.

3. I unmounted the SD-card and turned off the phone.

4. With the phone off I physically removed the SD-card and turned the phone back on.

5. Then i restored the apps that I couldn't restore earlier.

6. Turned the phone off again and inserted the SD-card.

7. Turned on the phone.

Haven't had any problems since.

The SD card installation error is only temporarily solved by flashing the stock kernel and then flashing CF-Root again. It works for a few hours/days and then the error shows up again. In fact, all my memory card applications disappear from the launcher when the error occurs.

Staying on the stock kernel permanently does not produce the error at all.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LocutusEstBorg:
Install the apps while on stock and then flash CF-Root again. If you've injected SU, CWM and Mobile Odin while flashing the ROM, then switching kernels should be no problem.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] remzicavdar:
Can you please give me some basic instructions to do this???
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] diemadedrei:
you keep root after flashing stock kernel. No need to flash anything else afterwards, is there?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] StarF:
just to make sure i understand you correct.

1: reinstall stock rom via odin (clean out cache/data)

2: install rom manager

3: flash the kernel to the system (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5)

then i should be able to acces sdcard via cwm ?

(as a note i cant acces the sdcard in the android system recovery 3e aswell)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LocutusEstBorg:
No you only need to swap the kernel to stock.

I suggest that you install a fresh ROM with stock kernel using Mobile Odin and choose Everroot, Inject Mobile Odin & Inject CWM. If you want CF-Root later, you can simply swap kernels with Mobile Odin whenever you want.

It's the external one i needed to unmount, can't unmount the internal one i believe, at least not from the Storage setting meny.

Edit: Flashed back to default kernel, and the problem is gone, didn't get the error when trying to download Line Runner, maybe if i try to install cf-root with something else than Odin it might work?

Edit2: Tried to flash CF-Root through CWM after i flashed back to stock kernel(thought there maybe was something wrong with Odin), but that didn't work, CWM stopped working, so i tried the tool ktool and flashed cf-root kernel with that, and that worked. So no i got CF-Root kernel, and i don't have the problem with installing apps from the Market anymore.

I must admit I agree with this statement. SuperSU leaves a lot to be desired compared with SuperUser. And much like the other poster I actually spent money on getting the elite version.

And I generally like the touch, feel and use of the SuperUser app as opposed to SuperSU, in regards to popup and how to respond.

I'm not going to make two different versions of something I provide to you for free just because you don't agree what I put in it. You're free to use any alternative you want.

You're also completely free to (re-)install Superuser over SuperSU if you want to. There's nothing stopping you.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MeX_DK:
Would you care to indulge us as to why you decided to change from SuperUser to SuperSU?. A reasonable explanation might make the change easier for some to cope with, rather then simply leaving it up in the air.

Short version: Chainfire has made superSU himself, that's why he now uses it in HIS Cf-root kernels.. ;)
