How to unroot this kernel to the original ?

I have a " I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1.tar " this file can unroot the phone ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shaq1907:
Chainfire please release a root file for 4.0.4 XXLQ5 rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] angelomaldito:
For me at least, that's makes no sense, as CF used (or uses) to make CF-Root kernels for both the SGS1 and SGS2, therefore, even if he has a SGS3 (which is a really nice device, BTW), he probably will still making CF-Root kernels for the SGS2, as many of his fans/donators still have that device. Nevertheless, probably he's now much more interested to spend his time researching the new Samsung flagship device rather than the one that he already knows very well. In addition, the guy has a life, probably a job, a girlfriend and other interests, therefore it is not reasonable to expect him to address overnight all the things we request from him.

And folks, don't forget to donate him a couple of beers when you get what you want from him, not only to say thanks, but also to stimulate him to keep developing stuff for the SGS2. (May be its a good idea to state "i9100" on your PayPal donation)

Is it really Android 4.0.4?

Try this CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip ... should work fine to root your ROM.

I was looking to get root access to my sgs2 and tried the method using 'odin3' and 's2 root' explained in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125414

(I also did the optional 'step 11' and reflashed an original kernel)

Everything went good, but then I tried Titanium Backup, Root Explorer and SU; the first says I dont't have root, Root Explorer hangs and SU functions but does not show any apps... It also wants to update binary, but that does not function neither.

So, I did use root checker to verify and it said that I don't have proper root... ???

Then I tried the Root Checker Pro tool who logs this:

Is there someone who can tell me what this log exactly means?

It looks i do have root, but not properly?

People say i should use cf-root, but i'm not sure for different reasons, so i'd like an opinion about these :

1) after cf-root it isn't possible to use 'app2SD' (read that in a post...) ?

2) I also read that now that S3 is released, dev leave SGS2 and kernelswill not be updated anymore... ?

3) Can I still use Kies ? or how do I know a new firmware has been released for SGS2 (4.0.4 - Jelly Beans) ? I suppose checking this forum, but if Chainsfire's thread isn't updated anymore, what then ?

4) After CF-Root and in the supposition there are no more updates, do I have to unroot to reroot using another method ?

5) (linked to previous questions): what do you think, as experienced user, of this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746794

How reliable / thrustfull is this??

...

Too much txt i suppose?:confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Phil3759:
Did you read the post above yours :confused:

You would have clean and proper working root.

Now, you are better to debug it with app author in his topic

Hi Chainfire,

Is it possible to release CF-ROOT for the new XXLQ5, please?

Thx!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
I can not answer every question, but some answers:

1. I don't know app2SD. Why should it not work with CF-Root kernel?

2. If a dev leaves SGS2 for SGS3, then it's correct that there will be no more updates for his SGS2 kernel. But most devs still have (access to) a SGS2 and comitted to continue SGS2 develeoment of their kernels ... but they will have less time for it. So the interval for releases will grow.

3. If your firmware is recognized by Kies (it must be an officially released ROM with all parts for your phone in your region), then yes. And Jelly Bean is not 4.0.4 but 4.1.

4. No, when rooted with CF-Root, it's ok. Why unroot an re-root with another method? And Chainfire is still releasing new versions of CF-Root kernel, but as he has less time for SGS2, it may take a while.

5. Look good to me. Nice thread about different rooting methods. OP already has some Thanks. So ... yes, seems to be trustful.

any update on this ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Phil3759:
Thank you :)

Just some explanations:

First, it is not my method, it is from Rachmat3 and his original post is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719

I only changed it so it contains Chainfire SuperSU (like CF_Root) instead of superuser and the last busybox version. If you use the script from post 1 in Rachmat3 thread, some programs won't run as supposed (MyBackup Pro, Adaway...). It is because of busybox version. Using my busybox attached version will fix those programs.

I will even say, the method 1 listed in my thread is safer than CF_Root:

- You do not flash an insecure kernel with odin: no counter increase, no yellow triangle

- You keep the original stock kernel untouched

- No insecure kernels (matters for some)

It does 3 things only: copy 3 files in your phone: supersu, su (the binary) and busybox

You can verify that the 3 files are original and untouched

Finally, I offer alternatives using the old cf_root and how to flash again your new stock kernel after rooting with cf_root. It will let some leftovers however and you get counter+triangle, so you need triangle away. More complicated at the end
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SGSLover:
Would be great to get CF-Root for DBT XWLPI

Hi, can someone help me pls? I have tried to do step by step the instructions given, but i still can't root my S2 phone eventhough Odin prompted PASS and rebooted my phone and my Kernel version was already changed to 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI4-CL611039 se.infra@SEP-62 #2. Have downloaded and used F-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_KI4-v4.4-CWM4.tar. After following all the instructions, i still

was not able to root my phone. Also, after doing it, have noticed the following unusual behaviour in my phone that was not there before doing the instructions:

1. Battery quickly discharges.

2. Slow battery charge time.

3. Phone heats-up while charging.

4. Phone also heats-up when used, like listening to music for maybe an hour or hour and a half.

Is this normal? Also, how many times can i do the holding down the Power + Volume down + Home button in my phone, i noticed a counter while doing it that says 5 counts already. Is there a limit on doing holding down the Power + Volume down + Home button.

Can doing this several times have an impact on your phone?

Here's my phone infos:

SGS2 GT-I9100

Android version: 2.3.5

Baseband version: I9100XXKI4

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI4-CL611039 se.infra@SEP-62 #2

I hope someone can help me on this, thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Please try CF-Root-SGS2_XW_LUX_KJ1-v4.4-CWM4.zip to root your phone.

Your current ROM is XWKJ1, not XXKI4.

XXKI1 is the baseband / modem version.

Have tried it, my kernel version now is 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKJ1-CL647431 root@DELL150 #2. But seems my phone is still NOT rooted, have tried to check it using Root Explorer and Root checker. For Root explorer result, i still can't see some of the folders i'm looking for, and for Root checker result, it says the device is still not rooted. Am i missing something here?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
You can try to flash stock kernel, then re-flash CF-Root kernel.

If that does not help, you may have to flash the whole ROM again to your phone.

Or use another rooting method.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BATTLEFIELD3:
I did tried to use several methods but still got the same result, the only thing i got is that annoying Yellow Triangle which i also want to remove. Pls help, thanks! :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nguyentramy87:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
To remove the yellow triangle flash the stock kernel.

If you want to reset the counter, you need a USB Jig (and old GB bootloader).

Next time, use Mobile Odin app (=> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1347899) for flashing and you will no longer need TriangleAway app.

When you say "Yes" you talk about the kernel or about Triangle away app ? or about both ? haha

thnx for the lq5 cf, but can u give cfroot for uhlps ,thnx again

First root the stock ROM, there are several methods, such as => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719

Once rooted, you can use Mobile Odin app to flash other kernels or stock ROMs, without incrementing flash counter and the yellow triangle.

Also, Chainfire do not have an i9100 anymore to test, he said it

You cannot blame it.

I think people should really start to look at much safer ways to root:

Look at my guide here, it will root any ICS phone (if a CWM image is available), Samsung or not, the clean way

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746794

Look at Method 1:

- only copies superuser and busybox, nothing else is touched

- flash through CWM image from stock recovery

- No Yellow Triangle

- No custom counter increased

- Stock kernel untouched

A few bricks have been reported while performing operations in CWM using CF ROOT LQ5 which you are currently using....

I would suggest flashing a safe kernel ( siyah 3.3.2 or any other ) via PC ODIN until the issues with this kernel are rectified

If you are on LQ5 ROM , (I assume the above rom mentioned by you was a typo error) using siyah or any other 4.0.3 kernel will cause the camera and bluetooth to malfunction

I'd suggest flashing a stable rom like LPG till proper kernels for 4.0.4 are available
