Rooted!! Help!

Ok I just did this and it got rid of the triangle but now when I go into CWM manager v3, it gives me an warning saying

"This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer. It appears you are running a different kernel. Various features have been disabled"

Also, if I go into CWM and say reboot in recovery mode, it still only shows my standard Samsung recovery screen and not the CWM recovery screen.

Should reflash the CF-Root 5.0 kernel?

PS: I used the CF-Root method.

Installed juice defender and the results on the first day were impressive compared to my previous battery performance. Insted of 5.8 mins per percent i got about 7.3 minutes per percent. that is a whopping 2.5 hrs extra. Still i want to purchase the original samsung 2000mah battery. Any ideas when it will be available in india and where.

Dont worry about yellow triangle or counter increase.nothing of that sort will happen!!i can confirm.So enjoy :)

Download the kernel zip Siyah-v2.1.1-CWM.zip .Unzip it and keep it in your sdcard.You will have a folder (META-INF and a zImage file).Now download darkyrom2 apk from market (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ficeto.darkyrom2).Go to flash from sdcard and then just flash the zImage file you extracted just few mins ago..And you are done !!you will get a real fast GS II after that (thanks to siyahkernel ;) ) ..:P
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Apparently Clock Work Mod comes inbuilt into kernels ....... that's how they get custom recovery ......... you can use ROM Manager it seems to provide the same features as CWM (but not recommended by many here) else flash a kernel which has clock work mod.

Chain fire's kernels also have CWM you can flash a stock rooted kernel from here

[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
4- Flash any Kernel which comes with CWM, CF or SpeedMod or else.

You can install Busy Box from Market. Devs name is 'jrummy16'.

5- You can flash any Kernel. Either via CWM recovery or tar in Odin. I prefer the Recovery method, as it's easy and won't affect the binary.

6- Not interested in Custom ROMs. Others opinion will be your priority.
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
I see. Actually I wanted to stay stock for a while. That's why I didn't want to go with flashing kernel way. I saw ROM Manager feature list on market. It says you can flash the recovery to the latest using it. So I can use this method too, right? I wont have to change my kernel, right?

Galaxy Ace got Gingerbread update through kies a couple of days back! Does that give us any hope about getting an update?
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Not Much really ......... Who says flashing kernel removes stock ......... CF-Root is stock kernel with root, CWM, Busybos and SU so you stay stock but also rooted with custom recovery through which you can mess around.......... PPL have made me skeptical about ROM manager .......... I would prefer using a stock rooted kernel than to flash a 3rd party SW and then flash something else ....... but then again android is all about choices ;)
[Galaxy S II General] OrrPenn18:
Flashing a Recovery wont change the kernel :)

They got Gingerbread...we already have it...just we have 2.3.4<atleast i had on stock> :D

Root

Hey guys,

I have finally decided to take the plunge and root my gs2 and i need some help. My one and only reason to root the device is to use some app and freeze the bloatware as i have read somewhere that freezing the bloatware apps probably reduces the data consumption and improves the battery life. Based on this, can anyone pls suggest which method i should use to root.

Regards
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Please go through the last 10-12 pages(All the different methods of rooting has been discussed in and out)).No point in repeating the same info again and again.Yes if you face some difficulties we are sure to help you as always broda :)

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

i am not sure if this is a rumor or true, i do not have links or sources to support this point.

i was in conversation with a friend of mine, and he mentioned that the galaxy s 2 will not get ICS as the "ICS port is not for our phones"

but according to google, every new release will be supported for at least one and half years.

so, now i am confused, as to will we get ICS or not?
[Galaxy S II General] amitoberoi:
@chetan mohanty and bala gamer - thanks for the info. I will go through the last 10-12 pages and if there is any query will ask again. However can u pls confirm whether freezing the bloatware tends to increase the battery life or not.

Samsung have already confirmed S2 will get ICS. But it might take years for them to push it to India.

Well, I would never prefer android as a gift to my dad or any one of his age in my family or elsewhere because it is a bit complicated. A high end phone will be iPhone for sure. And for dual sim, under 10k, nothing can beat Nokia or Samsung(no android). If I was supposed to gift my dad a dual sim phone, I would go for the one with best battery backup(read Samsung Guru) and would gift him the something else with the leftover money.
