@Chainfire can we get cfroot for ZSLPG...it is the newest ICS firmware (built on 4/4)...cheers..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jonny_ftm:
Go into SuperSU settings and you have there an option to uninstall it while keep root to install again Superuser. Hope SuperSU will be fixed soon for its lag with some apps
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bpodnar:
Which CF-root to use for LP5 kernel on ICS 4.0.3?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Grevane:
The lag is most likely the logging in SuperSU.

Can be replicated with Root Explorer. With Full Content logging, directory browsing and searching is unbelievably slow. With "Access Only", browsing and searching is much improved...with logging "Disabled", everything runs sweetly again.

Try turning logging off for apps you trust.

if my sgs2 is rooted with superoneclick can i reroot with cf-root to have CMW recovery to install custom roms??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bubba949:
Using Odin, yes you can

Sent using the force
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jonny_ftm:
Many thanks for the tip.

Sadly, when I uninstalled Superuser to reinstall SuperSU, it messed up everything. SuperSU won't install again as Superuser doesn't seem to uninstall properly. Even reflashing the CF_root kernel, didn't solve it. So, going to do a full reflash to get SuperSU back and try it again with your tip :confused:

Also, sadly, I found other apps now slowing down with superuser while they were smooth with superSU.

Also, Titanium Backup released a new build today to fix the issues with SuperSU as I have reported here in first post. This shows that it can be fixed from app side

So, finally, for my case, I end up with only Samba File Sharing buggy with SuperSU and better working on Superuser

At the end, I would stick with SuperSU hoping that the OP fixes SuperSU (Samba author won't fix, I fear)

which root is for frankestein LP8?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JJEgan:
LP7.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Hmm ... you have really a SGS2 GT-I9100 ?!

Can not find LP5 ROM.

Please specify detailed firmware information (dial *#1234#) and post what is displayed on the screen.

As long as you have a GT-I9100 model and your current ROM is an official/stock ICS 4.0.3, then you can try to root by flashing one of the ICS 4.0.3 CF-Root kernels (from post #8) ... but without the detailed firmware information, I can not recommend a special CF-Root kernel version.

Make sure that you have a backup of everything you do not want to lose.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hihihehe:
this?

CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Yes, that's the the correct XWLP7 CF-Root kernel.

(The other LP7 is DXLP7, and older one.)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Stephen88:
Hi Chainfire how can I install CWM4 instead of CWM5 in kernel XWLA4?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bpodnar:
Here's a screenshot so you can see all the stuff.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Root

What kernel to use for this room. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Your current ROM / PDA version is BOLPD (BOLP5 is only the modem / phone / baseband).

CF-Root for XWLP3 or XXLPS should work for your ROM.

They are also ICS 4.0.3 and were released nearly the same time than your ROM.

Good luck and don't forget to backup all your stuff.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bpodnar:
Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Just use the corresponding CF-Root kernel:

It is the latest CF-Root kernel version ATM.

Thanks a lot!

Do CF Root Kernels not support USB Mount from Recovery?

Im using XWLP8 V11.1 WanamLite rom with with CF-Root 5.4 XWLP7 kernel, (there was no XWLP8 Kernel at the time of flashing).

When i try to mount usb storage in recovery i get the following error

E: Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)

I've flashed Siyah Kernel v3.1rc6 and was able to mount the storage no probs. I put CFRoot back on and the problem returned. Am i doing something wrong or is this known issue / not issue?

Any help is appreciated
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Stephen88:
It happens to me too, have tried to do a wipe data/factory? gives an error message there too, I have resolve put an old kernel with cwm4 and it works fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Zentik:
just rerooted with cf-root and instaled a custom rom, worked like a charm...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Wezi:
Interesting, which cwm4 are you using? Are you on ics?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Stephen88:
No unfortunately I have still GB with XWLA4 and CF-root XWKJ2 (the last kernel with cwm4)

I recommend don't flash a kernel for GB on a ICS rom, risks a half brick :(

Lp7 kernel on lp8 is a bit laggy at times for me. I'm having to live without root.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chuonglepham:
@Chainfire: Does this rooted kernel work for GT-I9100LKJXSA-XWLP8 rom? If not, which CF rooted kernel is the closest match?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
For XWLP8 you can use CF-Root kernel for XW_XEN_LP7.

Worked fine on my phone.

unroot cf-root

Guys PLS I need your help ..

I used cf-root some months ago and installed 4.0.3 , went back to the 2.3.5 because i started getting error message at charge , now i have to send the phone to service because of a charging error ( it got overheated , left it on a warm place and charging ).

the problem is that i cant seem to get rid of the root user any more ! I tried 20 times a official firmware, after wiping data and factory reset .. then the s2 root application also .. NOTHING HELPED !

what is there left to do ? I dont understand how can it be is still there when i do a firmware install from that official firmware thread we have here , that is listing all the countries ! .. I have xwki8 .. Nordic ( Norway ) .. Please help me ! I am totally stucked

What appears in About phone is :

2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI8-CL616395

root@DELL149#2

Gingerbread.xwki8

Plsss help !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Are you sure that your phone is still rooted?

The kernel info "2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI8-CL616395 root@DELL149#2"

only says that the kernel was compiled by a user called "root" on a computer named "DELL149#2".

Install Root check app from Play store to check root access properly.

After a successful flashing of a stock kernel/ROM, the phone should be unrooted.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cris21ro:
Aaah thank you for your answer !

But then ... how do i remove that root@... ? So it will appear a normal user instead ?? Will they not react when i send it to service if they see it was compiled by root ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] micmaccc:
that's the normal naming, so do the root check as suggested, no need to worry friend :)

Please CF-Root for

thanks you chainfire!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chuonglepham:
Yeah, tried that and CWM complained about incompatible kernel version and won't boot into recovery mode.

I think I'll wait for CF-Root for GT-I9100LKJXSA-XWLP8 from Chainfire. Or, fork out some money and buy his Mobile Odin app...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rambell:
I am quite new to rooting. Only rooted once on my old lg 2X and that's with the 1click. I have checked my kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100DXKL3-CL814816root@DELL137 #2, baseband: I9100DXKL1 and Build number: GINGERBREAD.DXKL3. I take it that following instructions, I should then download the CF-Root-SGS2_DX_THL_KL3-v5.0-CWM5.zip? It is stated though that "KL3 (GB): Untested" so is it safe for me to use? All I want to do is to get rid of crapware and stay as close to stock as possible. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
"Untested" just means that Chainfire has not "tested" it him self before posting it..

If there were any problems, it would have been posted by now, so you shouldn't have any trouble ;)

Follow the instruction, good luck.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rambell:
Thanks!

I forgot to ask, will there be a yellow triangle? I know the triangle will appear if I flash custom roms. But since this is just a kernel, I am not sure. And what about the flash counter?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
Yes, you'll get the yellow triangle, but Chainfire's "triangle away" app on the market fixes that ;)

This kernel (5.4) have the bug of korean version that hardbrick the phones?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] qzem:
@Chainfire

Please help me with rooting my phone! I have been asking and searching for last two weeks, but nothing worked for me. I assume you need source code of a kernel to root it and flash it, if I want to use this method. But I don't have source code of a kernel, I only have whole firmware (PDA, CSC, PIT). Is there any way to inject su, busybox and superuser in this firmware before flashing it? I know that mobile odin can do this, but my device is not supported yet, and I don't have root access anymore. I have samsung galaxy s i9070 advance. PLEASE if you'll see this post, reply to me. I have written other developers even yourself a PM, but noone responded.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
Have you read the first post, mate..

All these kernel are stock European ones, just slightly modified by Chainfire..

No "Korean" bug ;)

Sent from my S2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Red_Vex:
I know but i dont know if the european version also had the bug
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
I doubt it.. if the "bug" you're thinking about is after what happened with the siyah cr6 kernel, then that was because Gokhan pulled a small peace of code out of the korean kernel and used it in his own..

So it has nothing to do with the official European releases which Chainfire works his magic on ;)

Don't wanna loose my time to update his phone before, so can i flash KI3 version on it ? (To have Cwm and then, custom ICS directly...)

Chainfire, LP9 is released. Will you please release CF-Root LP9 version?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] markdj57:
I'm having issues installing apps and I think it is cfroot causing the problem.

Can this issue be fixed while keeping root and cwm?

As you can see, I unmounted the sdcard and tried installing 2apps. The Samsung Unpacked 2012 app says insufficient storage and Angry Birds Space update says cannot be installed in default location.

I have tried uninstalling Unpacked and reinstalling and that is the error.

I am running stock ICS LP7 on sgs2.

Kies is now offering me an upgrade to T-Mobile UK's ICS I9100BVLPB firmware.

If I take the upgrade, which CF-Root kernel should I root this firmware with?

[Edit: Used I9100XWLP7 & CF-Root v5.4 LP7 instead.]
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] doongoo:
use another root kernel, like siyah, speedmod, etc.

Spent days reading and reading rooting guides and it got to the point when I thought my head would expolode. Fpund this tut, downloaded the correct CF Root (LPS8) for the kernal on my phone, opened up Odin, put my phone insto download mode and hit start and bingo.........that all it took. The last android I rooted was a google nexus S which was reletively easy BUT this, this is a walk in the park. Chainfire, I cannot thank you enough. All I need to do now is stick some customs roms in my micro sd. Theres that many of them so can I ask you guys to recommend me the best ones?? I will try a few and see which ones I prefer. Thanks in advance guys

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jerryhou85:
Flash LP7 shall be your choice.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jerryhou85:
To my understanding, you need to flash LPG version.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
As there is no CF-Root kernel for ZSLPG, you have to use another version, which is "near" to your ROM/kernel version.

Try CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip, as this is also Android 4.0.3 and has nearly the same release date than your ROM.

Please backup everything important before flashing.

i am such a dumb nub :)

I flashed CFs excellent package then not realising he had included cwm installed ROM manager and flashed the recovery mod 4.0.1.5 then realised there was cwm and read this thread as I got this from an external site. Have done bad? If so can I just refresh with Odin to fix? Or does it not matter sorry I just wanted to ask before I do anything more stupid :)

Oh and thanks chainfire I will donate happily! :) keep up the great work.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Nearest available CF-Root kernel is CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE2-v4.0-CWM4.zip.

It is also Android 2.3.3 and was released in same month than your ROM.

Please backup everything important before flashing.

Guys, I need some help. I have just updated today to ICS (Orange LPB) via Kies on the desktop. Everything went on fine, the phone worked, no problems. Then I tried to root it using CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5-PROPER.zip. Enabled the USB debug mode, switched off, put it in download mode, connected it to the PC started ODIN, loaded the CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5-PROPER.tar as PDA, hit Start, everything went on ok and the phone restarted. I got the starting screen with Samsung Galaxy SII and the yellow triangle and after that nothing. The screen turns black and that's it. I tried removing the battery and putting it back in, same thing. Tried to enter download mode, doesn't work. It starts as before with the model screen with yellow triangle then black. Same with recovery mode. What can I do?

Thanks,

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Devourz:
You can get stock kernel and flash that via odin again over your current one.

Or you can also get some of the near kernels to yours say

CF-Root-SGS2_BU_VOD_LPC-v5.4-CWM5.zip

or CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5.zip.

And if that still fails, just get stock kernel or try some of the other root kernels here provided by other members but chainfire =)

I personally would go with LPC one.

Lets us know how it goes.

//Edit , uhh i just read your last sentence , my bad didnt saw you cant enter download mode. Make usb jig or find someone who has one or even order one from ebay.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jonny_ftm:
He won't be able to flash anymore, no download, no recovery

Brick?

Last try is an USB JIG to force download mode

After that, you're left with ebay JTAG service

Read first post of Chainfire.

Then you might see that next closest kernel to yours is

or LP6.

You can try those.

So I ended up trying to root my i777 using the skyrocket method. Doing a search for the ATT galaxy sii brought it up and I didn't realize there were two versions on the same network.
