Developer preview was alpha, consumer preview is the beta & much less buggy & out now.

As for upgrading later to full release, it doesn't take much to back up your documents if you have too.

The consumer preview comes in a couple of different flavours, iso & installer. The installer allows you to upgrade windows seven keeping your documents and programs that are known to be compatible. However, that option didn't work for me when I tried it. It would point to Microsoft making an effort to make migration to windows 8 in the future a lot less painful.
[Windows 8 General] mtmerrick:
that's not a bug, that's by design.

and that holds true for the consumer preview as well, which is out now, has been for a while.

hi,

Sorry i am a newbie here ..so asking this stupid question.. I Rooted my Galaxy S2 using shorfuse program. Can someone tell me if rooting replaces the stock ROM, baseband or kernel? The triangle that appears on boots shows that i have indeed ROOTED my galaxy, how can i restore it to the original condition it was?

Samsung KIES is currently offering an upgrade, is it for the ROOTED (if it changes the rom) or the original ROM?

Sorry again. Will appreciate the help :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funziebear:
Update will revert u to non rooted, and if u didn't rom it it should be on stock kernel and rom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxomix0:
First rooting does not replace the stock ROM and the baseband . The kernel might be replaced , i can only tell about CF-Root kernel . This method replaces the stock kernel with CF-root kernel. No idea about shorfuse sorry.

You have to note your android software version , kernel and baseband before rooting .flash back all to stock. In SuperOneKlick root programm is a button called "Unroot" . Your phone will be unrooted.

Kies offers you a stock samsung rom. If you updated you will loose root.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xxxdevilxxx:
Thanks for the quick reply. Sorry for the noob questions again, can you give info on the following

Basic Questions:

1- What is a baseband version?

2- What is the Build Number?

3- What is the Kernel Number and how does it differentiate from the build number?

4- Now After Rooting which of the above mentioned are changed?

5- Why does a triangle appear if i still have my Stock ROM?

Thanks again

i didn't note the version before rooting. Is it still possible to find out which i had? and the update Samsung is offering does Samsung checks which kernel do you have and propose an update accordingly or is it different?

The UNROOT button does it replaces my CF-Kernel with something else?

First, i don't laugh at people who are new in the Rooting/ROM section here on XDA. I remember my first Rooting ;)

No you can't. But if you want to go back to stock ROM just update the update kies is offering. You will loose root and you will be on stock rom. Samsung KIES will never offer you a Custom ROM update. It offers all the time samsung stock roms. If the unroot button changes the kernel i don't know , sorry .

5- Why does a triangle appear if i still have my Stock ROM?

hi mate ill try and break it down for you.

1- go into settings, scroll to the bottom, click on about phone, look under baseband version. the latest baseband im aware of is i9100xxlph, if your on gingerbread it will be an earlier version, if so you can use a usb jig, about 2 quid on ebay to remove the yellow triangle.

2- build number is simply the name the given by the manufacturer ( or custom rom builder ) to the rom that is on your phone, it might include the date and time when it was compiled.

3- kernel number will be called kernel version, this will tell you which kernel you have on and you can change this to one you please, something like cf-root, siyah kernel, red pill, theres loads to choose from

4- when you simply root your phone you wont change any of the above other than the kernel, you have simply enabled yourself super user access, you should have superuser and hopefully clockworkmod recovery ( cwm ) and busybox, with the root applied to your phone you can then choose to download a custom kernel to enable things like overclocking, removing stock bloatware ( mediahub, readers hub, apmobile and all the other crap thats not really any use to anybody) and with cwm you can download rom zips directly to your phone to enable you to customize it with what ever you want.

5- you have a triangle because you have an insecure kernel, ( a rooted one ) and you used a pc or other comp, and a program like the one you used or odin, to put it on your phone, this tells samsung should you put your phone in for repair that you have rooted it, your binary counter will show up as 1 and will void your warranty, ill tell you if your interested in how to remove that once you understand what ive said in this post, if you want to know anything ill help you anyway i can mate.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xxxdevilxxx:
Thanks mate this was really helpful!!.. One last question though if i upgrade the firmware using Samsung KIES will it reset the counter? (Doesn't matter coz my warranty isn't in anyway effected by it) just curious question? Read about a USB jig a few seconds earlier than your post, i would have to use that to reset the counter wouldn't I? And if i dont edit the binary counter now when i am on 2.3.3 i can't do it after i upgrade, since USB jig has known issues with 2.3.6 and above, no?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xxxdevilxxx:

Np mate .. i can recommend CheckROM Revo v6 + ICS Domination 2.0.3 Theme.. these guys who made it are amasing. Check it out. Yes, KIES wants that you are using a Original Samsung rom and not any other custom made ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxomix0:
It won't reset the counter. You need the jig to reset the counter and remove the yelllow triangle.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wezza1979:
no mate if you update via kies it wont reset the counter, and you dont have to use the jig to reset it, have a look at this thread by intratech ( hes ****hot)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

find your baseband in the list and download the stock kernel from it, flash this through odin, use 1.85, flash it in the pda section of it, it will get rid of your triangle but keep your root. its not the fact that its 2.3.6 that makes it redundant exactly, its that it uses the new bootloader, you can download the old bootloader and flash it through odin in the bootloader section and use the jig to reset it and then if you want to but not required flash the new one over the top of it, if your interested in using a non official icecream sandwich ( im currently using cyanogenmod 9 nightlie ( which is awesome ) you canuse chainfires triangle away program, a zip file you can flash with cwm and that gets rid of the triangle also but it only works on ice cream sandwich as far as i am aware.

Rooting - different methods ...

Hi,

I would like to root my phone. I read around in the forum and summarized (as a noob) that there are (some) following options:

1. Using CF root method

2. Using S2Root method

3. Using SuperOneClick method

4. Using HellCat method

I also gather that there is option to flash a kernel that may directly give root access, but I would like to stick to near stock kernel to begin with. Right now, I am on stock XXKL1 2.3.6

As far as I could see, CF Root and HellCat give additionally CWM also in addition to root. Do we get CWM with S2Root and SuperOneClick also?

My doubt is that if I want to flash a new ROM (like say CheckROM), it may have its own kernel, and may replace CF root kernel. Is this correct? If so, will I lose CWM?

If I use SuperOneClick or S2Root, do I need to flash CWM separately? How to do this? If I understand correctly, I will need CWM if I want to take back-ups and also if I want to flash any new ROM or apply any themes or updates.

Please clarify and help ... Which method is advisable to noob?

Regards
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I've not used any other method so can't say how they work, etc, but CFRoot is quick & easy.

It's simply a matter of finding the matching kernel, flashing it in Odin & done. You can fiddle around with flashing stock kernels & zImages of the CFRoot kernel afterwards to get rid of the yellow warning triangle at boot, or you can pay 3 bucks for a jig on eBay. I prefer the later, plus a jig is just plain handy to have anyways.

Ultimately it's up to you, but I'd go with CFRoot. If you flash a custom rom, yes it will more than likely have its own kernel which will overwrite your CFRoot kernel. However, many kernels that come with custom roms have CWM. And you could always flash it yourself if it didn't/presuming the supplied kernel is compatible with CWM (it should be).

BTW, good to see you've 'done your homework' before you've rooted your phone ;) You'd be surprised at how many people on here don't & end up posting 'Hlap mai fone borked' :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvsanjay:
Thank you !!

Just a quick check ...

If I root with CF root, and also get rid of the yellow triangle, can I get KIES update (as I understand stock ICS is just expected any time now ...!!). I do not mind losing root at that time, I will then just use CF root again for the updated kernel.

Do I need to flash a stock ROM (existing KL1) to get KIES update to ICS?

If I do not get KIES update, do I need to keep flashing with ODIN for the new updates?

I am in a dilemma whether to root now, or to wait for stock Samsung ICS and then root ... !!

Regards
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
OK...

1) Kies should work with a CFRoot Kernel over stock firmware. I've seen reports from people on here of it not working as it used to, but you should be OK. If it doesn't work for firmware upgrades, you can always use Checkfus to download the latest official firmware available on Kies & flash it with Odin. You will also be able to download official firmwares from places like Sammobile.com (and probably here again soon). But you can cross that bridge if/when you come to it. So far as using Kies to transfer files/etc, again, should work, but I've never used Kies at all/for anything so there's probably better qualified people on me who can clarify that one for you. There are plenty of other apps you can use to transfer files between PC/Mac & your phone other than Kies.

2) So far as getting official ICS goes, as long as you're running stock firmware, it's the same as 1). Running a CFRoot kernel shouldn't affect anything. If you end up flashing a custom rom, yes, you will need to flash stock firmware again in order to get official ICS via Kies. Or again, you could always get it via Checkfus/download the file from elsewhere & do the update yourself via Odin, taking Kies out of the picture (In case you haven't noticed yet, I'm not exactly a fan of Kies :p Horrible software :-|).

3) I think I've pretty much covered everything you've asked, if not, post again & I'll have another go. So far as whether you wait for official ICS or not, that's up to you I guess ;)

Edit to add - You're welcome :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxomix0:
Yea, CF root is easy and quick !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvsanjay:
OK, I took the plunge and rooted with CF Root successfully. Also, took steps to remove the yellow triangle with CF Root instructions.

Interestingly, when connected to KIES, everything appears normal, and it still detects my firmware as KL1 (as before), and says that this is the latest firmware (for my region).

Hope this will offer Ice Cream update as and when available ... lets see

Now, for the next steps after rooting .. !!??

Thanks once again for your help and patience !! :)

Regards
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Good man, you've done well :)

If Kies is doing that now it sounds like you should be fine to receive firmware updates as long as you stay on stock firmware. And all you have to do is wait another 187,654 months until Samsung get their **** together & release ICS :D

You're welcome, happy to help ;)

I'm fairly new to this and only had this ROM installed for a few days (so experts, please feel free to correct me if I am wrong), but this ROM has a form of A2SD built into it that operates automatically. Provided that your ext4 partition is 1GB+, you should have plenty of room for your apps without changing hboots. Just an idea if you don't want to go to the trouble of researching this extra step.
