CF-Root v5.6 for XXLQ5 works fine to root the stock XWLPT ROM.

And Chainfire made it "safe".

Here is the CF-Root kernel thread => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root

The CF-Root kernel v5.6 for XXLQ5 is in post #8 ... the latest/last one ATM.

And yes, Triangle Away app will also work fine on this combination to remove the yellow triangle and reset the flash counter.

I have done it and it works without issues on my phone.

[Galaxy S II General] igos2:
Sur its rooted, tryed siyah and speedmod, now I turn with this one,really smouth.

Yes it will but only if you wipe from cwm on STOCK kernel, this mean, if you flash a safe kernel (siyah or speedmod) you are safe. This is why I dont recommand the root method 1 suggested above.
[Galaxy S II General] Stileth:
Yes, it will work.

Only if you wipe via CWM touch version on stock kernel. Non touch version is safe.

Method 1 is completely safe, so don't spread panic. Now it even don't need temporary CWM. Read guide in my signature for more information.

Do a factory wipe then boot your phone.
[Galaxy S II General] igos2:
No one should stay with the stock kernel, specialy if it's rooted. No one can garantee that a process in the background or an installed/rooter application will never call cap_erase, or the user him self can try to flash something(new kernel or anything else) that do this.

No need to take the risque, stay away from from the stock kernel and you are safe.

And stop advertising for your post, no one should recommend others to stay with the stock kernel in any way.
[Galaxy S II General] mialwe:
As nobody responded - see attachment, hope it helps somehow. .odex needed, too?

That's what I thought, too. The rooting method itself might be safe as the author said but I'd never continue using the MMC_CAP_ERASE-enabled stock kernel, rooted or not.

???

sorry for noob question, is wiping with stock recovery in LPO/LPT safe or not ?
[Galaxy S II General] dr.ketan:
Wiping from stock recovery is not safe on ANY ICS ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
When you are on stock ROM and stock kernel and using stock recovery, you are on warranty in case your phone will brick.

As Samsung doesn't want to pay for your repair/replacement, wiping on stock firmware in stock recovery must be "quite" safe ... even if there is still a probability of bricking.

Alternatively you can flash a "safe" kernel (such as latest Siyah, CF-Root v5.6, SpeedMod, etc.) and wipe in its CWM recovery.

That maybe true for the Note, but for the SII is valid only on 4.0.4. ROMs. 403s are fine.

when phone switched off

Volume UP + Home Button + Power Button > wipe data/factory reset and also wipe cache partition for a full wipe

Chainfire I appreciate you work in Supersu, but this is the problem I don't want to pay twice for pro. because I had already bought superuser elite and I think you must give people a choice to download a CF-root with Supersu and CF-root with Superuser.

Can you please give instructions how to replace Supersu with superuser.

I had downloaded the zip file from the offical website and rebooted in clokworkmod recovery and tried to install it, but it says cannot mount sd card.

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
On Android 4.0.3 stock ROM? Yes. It's safe.

On Andorid 4.0.4? Should be quite safe, but there could still be a potential risk of bricking ... but most probable when wiping.

If you don't wipe in injected CWM, then it should be safe too.

Alternatively you can flash a "safe" kernel, such as latest SiyahKernel.

[Galaxy S II General] Stileth:
If you want root just use method 1 from 1st guide in my signature.
[Galaxy S II General] praveenvj:
Thanks for the help and quick response. One question, so your method does not require custom kernel file? Please forgive my ignorance.

Also can I use the recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2.zip file instead of the recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxys2.zip

Also in your method 1, it states that CWM 6 is available. But how do i install it?
[Galaxy S II General] Stileth:
I would not recommend using 5.8.1.5 touch version. Either use older 4.x or newest 6.x

Also you dont need CWM at all, you can flash SuperSU directly from stock recovery.

Flash all you need (pit for repartioning and then a new ROM with Odin).

The repartioning will wipe your phone and the ROM contains all needed parts, such as botloader, kernel, PDA, modem, CSC, etc.

1. I found out that none of the "lock screen widget" is not working properly. I do not like to pres power button every time... So is there any solution or working one ?

2. (I like call function by swiping right) When searching contact from address book, by typing the name and when keyboard is still "open", if you try to swipe right to make a call, it's not working properly. (its working OK in 4.0.3.)

When/if keyboard is "hidden" than it's working OK. Also swipe to call or massage is working OK in "call logs".

Those thing are bothering me a lot!! :(

Anybody have same experience??
