Well samsung obviously didn't start working on 4.0.4 when Google announced jb. It's been a work in progress for some time now. About jb samsung hasn't officially released an update list for devices so we will just have to wait & see it the s2 will get jb which in my opinion it should but it's a wait & watch game for now.

Well that is a good one but an even better one would be to google to start proactive defending & protecting android not reacting like how it is now. Google has many patents that are violated by Apple yet they do not sue & my best guess why would be because of their values which is best imbibed in their motto which is 'Don't be Evil' but that shouldn't be used as an excuse to let people run over you. Apple has taken many things from many places & has still being able to patent them as their own invention which is disgusting & then turns around & sues the very people that invented. Google in good faith had not gone & patented such stuff because it was for an open source is which now in hindsight was foolish. Apple as a company should just burn down & die a violent death:mad:

[Galaxy S II General] ROHIT345:
I am running it for last couple of hours and I think its the smoothest of all releases till date....though benchmarks don't count for much a score of 6400 on antutu.

Keep couple of things in mind though don't change stock kernel really the best performance (users have reported other kernels break Bluetooth and camera) and if you use mobile Odin to flash clear the data partition file otherwise it will wipe data.

If using Odin don't use the pit file to repartition.

Root Doubt!

@Raviteja - haha. I thought u were gonna wait till ICS to root. Awesome! So how is checkROM so far? Guess your curiosity got the better of you. Now you've made me wanna root too. lol. Frankly I don't have the patience to wait till my warranty expires.

@everyone:

Ok so here is my question before I take the plunge:

If I root, and some point in the future, have an issue with my phone that requires service, will my warranty be valid if I do the following?

- Flash a stock kernel to remove yellow triangle

- Use a JIG to reset the binary counter

- Flash, using ODIN, the stock 2.3.3 firmware that my phone came with

- Wipe cache partition and do a full factory reset

If I do the aforementioned things, will Samsung still know that I have messed around with the phone?
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
@bala_gamer reinstalled the application. Still the same problem...

[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Dude we are in India. Go to a service centre and ask them what is a firmware, then after the reply you will not ask this question anymore ;)

Anyway, still, to be on the safer side, its better to give a Non-rooted device than a rooted one.

Yes those steps are correct. No need to Wipe though.
[Galaxy S II General] karankumar:
Hey guys

I just got my S2 a week back and used Chainfire's method to get root which worked like a charm. Just a few quick questions

1. Where can i download the kernel for my FW(XWKF3) with CWM5. Also, do i really need CWM5 over 4

2. Is there a way to unroot and do a <i>Full Factory Reset</i> if need be.

3. Any custom ROM's recommended?

Thanks. Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Well it's also a very handy little thing u'd like to have around if u like messing with your phone a lot. It basically forces your phone into download mode no matter what condition it's in. If a flash goes wrong and you brick your phone, this tiny JIG is your only hope.

---------- Post added at 08:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

haha! That's so true.. I was just being extra precautious. So I guess I'm goin for it.. Wish me luck..

So here's what I believe I have to do now. Correct me if I'm wrong:

1) I am already on a stock XWKJ2 rom

2) I using either the doom or CF method to root

3) I backup EFS

4) I install CWM & Busybox (where do I find these n how do I install them?)

5) I now install titanium and backup

5) Can I now install a custom kernel like siyah? If yes then how?

6) Finally I flash a custom ROM (Which one should I start with?)

If someone could tell me if my steps are in the right order and I haven't missed anything, then I can go right ahead and root! :)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Well with latest cwm 5 you will have the option to choose files from your external SD for flashing.

Regarding custom Rome there are loads to choose from, I personally recommend you to goto those appropriate threads and have a look before choosing one.

Checkrom, criskelo looks and have many customization.(my personal opinion though)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Once you root your mobile with the cf root it will have the cwm, no need to.install it separately.

Your order is correct and you can install siyah kernel, all you have todo is

1.goto siyah kernel thread and download the cwm zip package.

2.Then copy it to your SD card.

3.install the app called quick reboot from market ( used to enter recovery mode much easier) and enter recovery.

4. Choose install zip from sdcard and select the downloaded zip file. Now it will take care of the rest.

Then reboot your mobile ( note that the first boot after flashing a kernel may take a while)
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Final doubts

Thanks bala_gamer,

A couple of final questions...

1) I would just like to know why backing up the EFS is so important?

2) Should I use the DoomLord method or CF method, what are the pros and cons?

2) I am on XWKJ2 so I should flash this right: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=775411&d=1320704410
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@radicalgel

Efs backup is required if you mess up with your imei number sometime later and can be used to restore your imei.

Ya you have to flash that file.

Regarding rooting method I have used cf root method and haven't found anything wrong, dunno about the other method though
[Galaxy S II General] karankumar:
Thanks a lot bala_gamer.
[Galaxy S II General] rocky23:
hey there

hi m8 jus wanna kno wats so special abt siyah kernel , i got a doubt does it sav battery life an y did u disable fast dormancy...iam on stock jpkj2 frm kies an not rooted..an if u ave opinions on kernels plz share , i wanna flash one......thx;)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
The speciality about siyah is that it has almost all the latest features incorporated inside and one of the kernels which is in a active development state. Cant say about battery life because im testing all those betas there, but if configured properly it will surely give you atleast 2 days.

Disabling fast dormancy does increase the battery life, i have read some people in Uk having problem in 3g speeds after disabling that.

Did you check with the local retailers for the price?

When you buy it please make sure you get the right phone. There are two variants of Galaxy S2 the GT-I9100 and GT-I9100G.

Better buy the GT-I9100 check for the product code on the box where the MRP is mentioned. The product code should be I9100LKAINU or I9100RWAINU.

If buying online confirm with the seller about the product.

Rs 27,900 is still the price its sold in Bangalore

What I suggest you do is that learn to live with it but if it's really really bad then head to the service center. All the best!
