Below every kernel there is "Android" segment. Should I pick the one that I got now (for example if I currently have Android 2.3.3 I should use specific kernel)?

Basically I can use any of Frankenstein Kernel and include CSC which I want with it?

btw. I am confused as **** ... XD

P.S.

How come you flashed XWKJ3? That's an XE CSC and XE---> Bulgaria, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, and you are from Norway? =O
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Reflash your rom, then reflash cf root afterwards.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ReiKo90:
OK!! I firmwared it. Now it says build number: GINGERBREAD.KWKE7.

What's next, mylord'? =D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Omg that's ooold lol :p

I'd say either root then flash a custom rom. Or visit Intratech's stock rom thread and update your firmware to say KJ3 or KI3 then come back here and you can root using thw appropriate kernel.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ReiKo90:
Hey man!

I rooted it. So now I can just flash custom ROM for example CyanogenMOD? It will install his Kernel right? So basically only thing to do is to flash CyanogenMOD now?

Thanks a bunch.

P.S.:

Does SGS 1 jig work for SGS 2?

It says I should do NANDROID Backup of my ROM ... but I can't find the app on the market? =O
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Lol dude, nandroid is a backup made in CWM recovery. ;)

Personally I wouldn't suggest CM rom, as it's still at nightly stage so there are a few bugs that need to be ironed out.

If you want stability, cleanliness and battery life. Go for VillainROM. :D

Ps. Yeah, the jig should still work.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ReiKo90:
Jesus, I'm stupid ... sorry. In my defense I can say that I smoked some pot and now I'm flashing my SGS II while I'm high =D. Nice feeling I must say.

Well then I don't need to update kernel? ROM will do that for me right?

Btw. does VillianROM use some kind of scripts to speed up my phone? What results did you have?

What about overcloack? Can be done using VillianROM?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
It's all good mate, I wish I had some too. Lol :p

VillainROM comes with a kernel already, but you could always come back here and flash cf root KI3 instead if you want just a simple kernel.

No useless scripts, it's been deodexed as with almost all custom ROMs. To make it faster and more battery efficient.

The link to VillainROM thread is in my sig, just go there and have a read. It's very simple to install.

PS. Yes you can overclock, but it's really not needed. As our SGS2 is blazing fast even underclocked to 800mhz, which I have tested before.

Communicated from a Galaxy far far away via an XDA premium quality neurotransmitter.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ReiKo90:
Nice, gonna give it a try.

What about overclocking? (Did edited the post).

Did you feel significant speed up from stock rom when u went to Villian?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
I edited my post to answer your question. ;)

Yes I did, even though my SGS2 has had VillainROM as a daily runner for 7 months lool

Communicated from a Galaxy far far away via an XDA premium quality neurotransmitter.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ReiKo90:
Nice ... I love your bootanimation, hits me right up man, just what I wanted.

What about lockscreens? Did you install any additional? I see VillianROM with additional lockscreens has some issues. And I really can't stand stock lockscreen ...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Thanks dude, glad you like it. I had a stroke of inspiration and that's what resulted lol :D

Well I've got the same issue with stock lockscreen lol, I hate it. Once you got VillainROM installed, you can flash the theme I'm using as well. Link is in my sig, it includes TSM parts which gives you 11 lockscreens.

Communicated from a Galaxy far far away via an XDA premium quality neurotransmitter.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ReiKo90:
Yup I wanted to do that but don't you have any issues with these lockscreens? People seems to have problems with them when they install them.

Also, here you did add some tweaks (like under 15% camera working) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1198334

Is it already integrated in VillianROM 3.0?

Also - when I did install VillianROM in guide it says Wipe SD:ext partition . I couldn't find that option in ClockworkMOD. But my SD card was not even like in use as this is new mobile phone. My first flash with it. Did I do wrong?

Also in description it says that if I want to enhance battery life I need to download certain MODEM ... where can I find appropriate exactly? (I just found RADIO but that's not MODEM or I'm missing something here?).

Also how to get Superuser on this ROM?

btw. as your signature was helpful, maybe you should link Kernel you are using too (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1263838)?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Ok... let me explain...

*In post 6th or 7th in the VillainROM thread you can find my list of VRTweaks. You will have to install the app to get access to those (link is there).

*Don't worry about the SD ext4, that's only for partitioned SD cards. It will also display the same thing when you wipe dalvik cache.

*Modem/Radio/Baseband is all the same thing. It's basically a driver which controls/handles the network signals and switching between 3G, HSDPA etc... (not wifi, that and switchover is handled by the kernel)

- If you click the modem link in my sig it will take you to pulser's sticky modem thread, which I'm now updating. Recent modems can be found in posts 2, 3 and 4. Try KI3 first, if you don't get good results then try KH3. These are the two modems which stood out to me most in performance over the whole life of the SGS2. Old KE7 was good as well, which actually came pre-installed on my phone.

*Ninphetamine comes pre-installed with VillainROM and is very stable. CPU and voltage settings can be controlled by SetCPU, which is free here on XDA (just search for it). ;)

- Personally I prefer SiyahKernel instead, because it's in aggressive development and includes loads of useful tweaks. As well as scripting. With this kernel I use Voltage Control instead of SetCPU, which is also available from the market. The thread is here on XDA as well.

Superuser can be installed from the market.

In the end though, it's all up to you. Just find the best combination for yourself. All devices come out of the factory slightly different, and not a single one is exactly the same.

Hope that helps. :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ReiKo90:
Cool man but no root yet. I did try SuperOneClick but it says I'm already rooted - lol. And I don't have Superuser icon in my menu and CWM says it's not rooted =?

btw. thx.

EDIT: Solved. Just use SuperOneClick 1.9.5. version. Thanks all!

Bad thing is your application (home screen lag fix) made my OS go infinite boot.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
App is compiled by pulser. That's weird, worked fine for me. Did you backup in recovery before you installed the tweak?

To be honest, it's not worth it. It didn't have any difference for me at all.

Plus if you decide to flash a theme later on, it could interfere with other mods.

Communicated from a Galaxy far far away via an XDA premium quality neurotransmitter.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ReiKo90:
Anyways I can go to download mode but there is no Villian ROM 3.0 in ODIN version. How should I get out of "infinite loop"?

I did backup (NANDROID).

I can get in CWM BUT my last backup was from stock rom ughhh =/

Should I only restore boot (I acessed my restore file) it was on internal card. It's advanced options.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
What I meant is, did you backup VillainROM?

You can always get into recovery via the 3 button combo (vol up + home + power).

Edit: There were some rebooting issues with a couple of lockscreens in the previous TSM parts beta, but now that has been fixed.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mermaidkiller:
So then I can also run the 'official' upgrade (Settings => About phone => Software version => Update), then check which kernel it is (e.g. XWKJ3) and then download and reflash the rooted version of that kernel from the beginning of this thread ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Yes.

From official OTA (over the air) update you will get the new ROM containing the new bootloader, which prevents the USB Jig from working.

But there is also a description how to replace the new bootloader with the old one.

So, hope that the official OTA update won't wipe your phone.

As I have never done the OTA update, I don't know.

That's why I prefer and recommend flashing Intratech's non-wipe ROMs

Better do a backup before flashing - for every ROM and/or kernel.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ReiKo90:
No, I only got my stock backup.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] _Flea_:
I rooted my phone by following the steps. Only problem is that Adfree isn't working anymore. Anybody else got this problem?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ReiKo90:
Hey, geko95gek ...

Can I somehow change colors of this glass theme you have in your sig?

Also, can you make me a list what VR Tweaks do you use?

Also do I need to remount system rw or ro? I mean i installed it without even using these two options (camera hacks mainly).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mermaidkiller:
After a reflash and reroot the /system partition is rewritten and the hosts file is in /system/etc/hosts . (/etc/hosts is symlinked to /system/etc/hosts).

Adfree has an option to dump the hosts file on /data/data. Select that option and then you should temporarily mount /system as rw (e,g. with Supermanager) , go to a terminal and do:

cd /etc
mv hosts hosts.1
ln -s /data/data/hosts

and revert the system partition to readonly.

Now the hosts file points to a user rewritable /data/data/hosts file which can be updated even with a readonly /system.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
No, you can't change the colour.

I don't use any VRTweaks because that would interfere with the theme.

For installing the tweaks, re-mounting system isn't necessary.

CF-Root 5.0 + KI4

Can't root my SGS2. IV4.4. KI4tar is most modern KI4 version I can get on this thread and it won't root on CF-Root 5.0 and a CWM that requires v5 or later. What to do?:confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
As I do not trust your signature, please post your current ROM and kernel versions.

Then it is a lot easier to recommend a corresponding CF-Root kernel which will root your phone.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Should work fine, yeah. :)

Communicated from a Galaxy far far away via an XDA premium neurotransmitter while DJ'ing on The Enterprise.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ReiKo90:
Then how can I use like 10% camera hack and I also have Glass theme as you?

EDIT:

Also when I go to settings TSM Parts and then CPU settings - can I overcloack from there? If yes what values should I put? (I know you said it's unecessary but I still ask).

I use Siyah v2.3 - does it even support overcloacking? As I can't seem to change numbers in TSM parts menu (where I can like control CPU).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
It could break things using the camera hack together with any theme. It's true for any of those tweaks to be honest. You can still try it, as it's not definite that something would break. Do a backup first just in case.

Use voltage control from the market, to control cpu frequency and voltages. All info is in Siyah's thread. I'd suggest doing a lot of reading on how to do oc/uv properly, and remember that every device slightly different. Which means it handles slightly different settings.

Best advice I can give.... constant backups before flashing stuff and a lot lot of reading.

Hi everyone.

I am a Desire HD user, and I am new to Samsung devices (my brother's)..

I understand that to perform root in Samsung devices, we need to flash insecure kernel via Odin (with Kies installed etc first).

The device I am having now has a Kernel of 2.6.35.7 se.infra@SEI-22 #2

May i know which of your Kernel matches with it? I dont see anything that matches mine here. Running 2.3.5 here :confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zoobihoobi:
Type *#1234# on dial pad and get the info of PDA. It would be like this I9100XWKI4 (example). Note the last 3 digits and find the CF kernel in first post and then flash it through ODIN.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] superstick1:
Interesting. I thought we only see it on its surface under Setting >> About Phone. Thanks mate. Mine is I9100GDZKI1. :)

Just to double confirm, is this CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-v4.1-CWM4.zip correct to be flashed? Since this is the nearest. KI1 with KI3.. with 2.3.5

Is ther a quick fix for this? I see some people claim this is a result off Ip Header confirmation that is enabled on the dhcp server, on my home router I have no way to configure that. And I don't even know if that is the real culprit.

Hello -

I received my international version yesterday and had migrated from the AT&T version.

I successfully rooted the phone, but have a question about clockwork mod. My shipping kernel was KH3. I downloaded ODIN and used CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KH3-v4.1-CWM4 to root.

However, I noticed the Clockwork is version 4.01. Isn't there a new version 5.x I can use or does it really matter? The AT&T version used a V5.0.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
You can start by updating your firmware. ;)

Then just come back here and flash one of the later cf root kernels. Which will give you CMW5.

Why do you ask?

because my backups of previous many ROMS are from 5.0.2.7 recovery and i cant restore without that recovery
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Hmm, well the later CF-Root versions come with recovery 5. You can either flash one of those and hope for the best.

Or, you can flash SiyahKernel, which includes recovery 5 as well. :)

i am using abyss kernel and it is recommended and tested by me on a certain ROM to perform well battery and performance wise thats why i need that so i can restore backups

Is it fine to proceed? If so, should that not be mentioned in the instructions? Appreciate the help. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Oh no, you should use a kernel which is compatible with your current ROM.

Please try to post the complete string of your Gingerbread version, eg. DXKI2.

Maybe it is better to flash the CF-Root kernel for JPKG5, which is also 2.3.3.

But please do a backup before flashing.

Ok, I have tried to search the thread for this, but I can't seem to find anything.

I have the SGS2 from Korea, the M250s... It's on the latest firmware (Android 2.3.5; Kernel version says M250S.EJ04.2043-CL622422). Which of this am I supposed to flash. Basically, all I'm looking for here is the best way to get my S2 rooted with CWM, I've used the Moto Droid X for the past year, so I'm really unsure how this whole Sammy thing works anymore (last Sammy device I had was the Moment from Sprint, and things were WAAAAY simpler back then)

Hi to all,

Just want to be sure to not make some mistakes/problems. I want to root my phone, but I'm not sure which cfroot to use.

Android 2.3.4;

BB: I9100XXKI1

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XKWKI4-CL575468 root@DELL 143 #2

Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4

I thought this one should be the right one, but I'm not sure:

CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_KI4-42-v4.2-CWM4

EDIT: I'm sorry, everything is written on the first page, I've found how to choose the right cfroot, but I've found those three one (which to choose):

1. XW_NEE_KI4: 2.3.4

2. XW_NEE_KI4-42: 2.3.4, CF-Root v4.2, SU 3.0, "insecure"

3. XX_XEO_KI4: 2.3.5, CF-Root v4.4, SU 3.0.5, "insecure" (suppose that this one doesn't fit to me, 'cause it's for 2.3.5?)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
As your ROM is XWKI4 and Android 2.3.4, you should use the XW_NEE_KI4 version.

The "insecure" mode has CF-Root v4.2, which is newer than the "secure" mode version.

It is up to your, if you want the newer kernel version or the "secure" mode version (with un-rooted adb shell).

Both CF-Root kernel version will do the job for you.

Good luck !
