[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mettuck:
Greetings!

First of all, my phone info:

i9100g

android version: 2.3.6

baseband version: I9100GXXKL4

kernel version: 2.6.35.7

dpi@DELL164#2

build number: GINGERBREAD.XXLB1

Now, to the question at hand - I want to root my phone, and later on, put in a custom kernel/ROM. Now, doomlord's method doesn't seem to work (something about versions after KJ2 not being compatible with it, if I recall correctly, and I actually have no idea what this "KJ2" is) - I tried it, it rebooted my phone, said everything was ok in the cmd prompt on my PC but the phone wasn't rooted (checked via multiple methods).

Now it seems the only other way to root my phone would be to flash a rooted kernel. I decided to go for lucifr first because I found .tar links in the thread and am more familiar, theoretically, with using .tar files with ODIN.

The problem now is - what if I want to revert back to stock kernel? Googling didn't help me find what I was looking for, or maybe I just searched for the wrong thing? Should I be looking for "XXLB1" or "XXKL4"?

I am guessing the process would be the same with the stock kernel as if with custom ones - download mode, odin, flash, done.

Apologies if I am asking something to which answer is easily attainable but this is my first Android phone and all these possibilities of soft bricking are making me jittery :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paras Lehana:
Okay, let me start!

XXKL4, did you notice it! ..XX..KL4....

...KL4...right?

Likewise, the device having KJ2 as the last three words of the kernel version is considered to have KJ2 version. Got it? :)

Just downgrade your bootloader to it and there would be no problem using the doomlords method

Ya, the method is same for flashing any stock rom. Just tell me your country, I'd post you a link to download the latest stock rom.

DOWLOAD IT BEFORE FLASHING ANY CUSTOM ROM! This is called security :).

Any more? :)

Bootloader, kernel, and baseband are three completely different, independent things. They can all have different versions.

Sorry buddy, studied about that.

Well, I wasn't saying about the definations. I was thinking that you flash a stock rom - a newer one - then you get a newer version of everything. I mean compatibility.

But... :)

Well, thanks for the correction - didn't notice I wrote baseband.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mettuck:
I actually didn't notice that (XXKL4 thing), seeing as how this is the way I found my phone, so I didn't have a clue about how the name giving process takes place, thanks for mentioning it :D.

Now, my phone was bought in Germany (I found another thread saying that XX is a regional code for Germany, Austria and a few other countries). I have a problem with not knowing how to downgrade to an older bootloader :(.

Also - don't I need a stock kernel rather than stock ROM? If I get a stock kernel and CWM I can easily backup the ROM myself, is that right? However, I don't know how to backup my stock kernel...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paras Lehana:
You wanna revert back to stock - then, you simply need to run the device on a stock ROM!

ROM is basically a version of your firmware, I mean it's the root after the OS! All the pre-installed commands for running your device are stored in it. Kernel is just a thing which makes a connection of your device's software with its hardware.

Well, considering you to be a newbie, take an example...

Hmmm...

Can you get back to Windows XP by installing some XP drivers on your PC having Windows 7 installed?...

:)

Hope that you understand

First of all - thanks for clarifying what kernel is :).

Secondly - I'm not sure I follow your first sentence - I am on stock firmware, the latest one.

I tried googling for the file you mentioned and all that came up was this thread and a few other German forum threads, but alas, I myself am not German nor do I understand the language :(. I will continue my search, but I would just like to know - what do I do with that file when I find it? Flash using Odin? And after that apply doomlords fix and then update again to the latest firmware? And in case something goes wrong when I try to update to a custom ROM/Kernel I would need to use Odin to get back to the file whose name you linked?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paras Lehana:
First of all, I really like how you guess all the possibilities of solutions. I mean thats the spirit man - keep that up for all of your life. Persons may leave but your spirit wont. :)

Now...

I'm sorry for that german link. I had myself searched that and found all the pages in german. So, I thought you'd better understand it.

Actually, that is just the latest ICS Stock ROM for you...in case, you wanna revert back. It has nothing to do with your rooting process. Ok?

Now.. Rooting Process

Dude, I wont give you any suggestion for the doomlord's method because it has never worked for me. You can try it.

Well, I'm searching solutions for you...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mettuck:
Ok, so, to summarize - I need a stock ROM/Kernel just as a precaution.

When I acquire those, I can try flashing a rooted kernel, or, if I acquire an earlier version of my stock ROM, I can root directly using doomlord's script.

Also, if I have these precautionary measures checked - I can flash a custom kernel/ROM with less worries should things go awry.

Of course, flashing would go via Odin, be it stock or custom ROM/Kernel.

Is that it?

As far as my phone is concerned - I bought it from an old man. His son (whom, btw, lives in Germany), bought it for him, but the old guy thought it to be a waste seeing as how he doesn't need nor want such a phone so I got it for a bargain price, unsealed :). Also, I am from Serbia, hence, not understanding German all that well :P.

Now, one more thing - "Actually, that is just the latest ICS Stock ROM for you...in case, you wanna revert back.". You mentioned this, but as far as I know - I9100G Europe didn't get ICS just yet. I think I read some Chinese users did, but the European, as well as Indian and Malaysian versions are still on hold for bug testing purposes or so. So I don't see how the name you provided can be ICS for I9100G? Which leads me to believe your search may have lead you on the wrong track, seeing as how the filename goes "GT-I9100_DBT...". Notice the lack of "G" after "I9100". :)

I am a bit swamped with studying these days but I will definitely be on the lookout for earlier bootloaders, KJ2 or so.

Worst case scenario - I'll give up and wait for official ICS or hope doomlord updates his script or something :o
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paras Lehana:
I'm sorry I'm sorry!! Actually, I've just replaced my G with the I9100, so, you know!!

Edited* (Check the name again)

Man, WHAT HAVE HAPPENED TO ME!! :o

And you are getting it right - well, you just need a ROM, a stock one, to revert back. Kernel would do nothing. Kernel, bootloader, bloatwares, etc. all are bundled in a ROM, whether custom or stock.

Here are the steps to download that file.

Download Check Fus Downloader from their website.

http://fus.nanzen.se/

Fill this info after opening that downloader in case if you dont know.

Model - GT-I9100G

Product Code - GT-I9100RWGDBT

HIDSWVER - I9100GXXLA1/I9100GDBTKL2/I9100GXXKL4/I9100GXXLA1

Download the file.

:)

Yes, the flashing would go through odin. Ofcourse, there are other ways too.

Just download this file. And then, as you have said, we'd start MISSION GT-I9100G ROOT!!! :D

I hope this helped

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mettuck:
I'm not sure I understand how are kernels bundled with ROMs when I saw people having combos of, say - lucifr kernel with SuperRom, as well as other kernels with superrom.

The link you gave me - I downloaded the program and tried it - it says unhandled exception or something along those lines when it should start the download. I tried googling for the filename but only result was this thread.

Eh, I am really starting to think it's simply better to wait until official ICS when, I hope, things will get a bit more alive for the G version... :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paras Lehana:
Dude! You can flash different kernels but the ROMS have a particular kernel by default. How can a ROM work without having connections with the OS and that's what a kernel does.

Go to sammobile.com/firmware/, search for i9100g and find your country's name there and download it.

Ya, you may wait for ICS because I've a good news for you - first I9100G ICS update has been released and India is the first country to have it! It'll be rolled out to other markets soon. :)

Well, you can flash that Indian ICS too as it has no different bootloaders - developers have confirmed that.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
ROMs come with a kernel contained within the ROM itself. However, you can usually flash whatever kernel you want (that is designed for your device, and is compatible with your ROM) afterwards.

So for example, SuperROM appears to come with its own kernel. However, after you install SuperROM, you can chose to install a different i9100G kernel, such as Lucifr, or any other i9100G kernel.

If you choose to flash a DIFFERENT ROM, then that ROM will have its own kernel pre-packaged with it, so if you wanted to change ROMs, but keep the same kernel, then you would have to first flash the ROM, then flash the kernel of your choice, if it didn't already come with the ROM.

Make sense?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mettuck:
@Paras Lehana - I actually just saw that sammobile has 4.0.3. official for India :D. I am hoping we Europeans won't have to wait long until it's shipped here :D.

@ctomgee (and Paras Lehana) - thanks for the clarification. I thought that it's up to the user to flash both the kernel and ROM, and if one should flash a ROM over a Kernel that doesn't support it sh*t would hit the fan :).

That cleared up some smoke from the air, knowing that I don't need to get both the official kernel and ROM separately, but that they come jointly :D.

I'll search a bit when I get the chance, but will primarily hope for ICS to reach me soon (I hope it's a matter of days rather than weeks :D). Then again, I could just download the official ROM from sammobile and keep that as a backup and use the "rooted kernel" method... too bad it'll raise that count tho... I guess I'll stick to my official gingerbread and await ICS as I said before :).

Thanks for bothering to help me :).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You can download and flash via Odin the Indian ICS for I9100G from Sammobile. That will NOT increase the count, and it is official. You then should be able to root using this method; which will also not increase the count. (but you will need an external SD card to do it)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mettuck:
Hmm, is there a downside to flashing Indian ROM on my current phone?

Lack of support for European languages, perhaps some localized services preinstalled or such?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You probably won't be able to use Kies for future upgrades, unless you re-flash back your original firmware, but otherwise, no, I don't think so.

My I9100 (non-G variant) was originally a UK handset. I currently have a Polish I9100 firmware flashed to it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mettuck:
Hm, I'm guessing it may be a bit different since those are both European variations whilst this one seems a bit more different seeing as it's Indian. I know there was a Chinese release but worked buggy or something?

Anyway, I will download the official gingerbread from sammobile for backup purposes and google for information from Indian users :). I'm guessing it won't matter if I read experiences from a I9100 since I expect the software to be basically identical :).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Maybe so... but do stick to I9100G firmwares and kernels for you.

As far as languages, they should all include at least English, Spanish, French, and German, I believe.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mettuck:
Of course I plan on sticking to I9100G kernels and roms, I simply mentioned I would look for user experiences with I9100's ICS because I assume the software is more or less identical to the one of I9100G (if we don't take into account different hardware optimizations, drivers...). :)

cant root / can't open serial COM port

Hey,

I am still trying desperately to root my i9100g, so far without success.

First I tried doomlords easy rooting, just to notice that it doesn't work with Android 2.3.6 since the exploit has been fixed.

Then I tried to flash the kernel using Odin an superatmos. superatmos 3.3 works only with the zImage/sd-card way, which itself needs root as a prerequisite. So I tried 3.2, but no matter what I do Odin connects (yellow COM) but fails saying "can't open serial (COM) port...".

I used Kies before. I killed all Kies related processes. I started Odin as Administrator.

Using i9100g android 2.3.6, I9100GXXKL4, 2.6.35.7 kernel, Gingerbread.XXLB1.

No....okay...wait....

You have two methods to root.

First is by flashing a rooted kernel and second one is using the doomlord's method.

Now, first method is explained by this thread. You can flash any compatible rooted kernel to root your device, superatoms would do the job too.

But, you said that you don't want to use that method and use the Doomlord's one. No prob :)

Just downgrade your kernel version by flashing any previous secure or stock kernel. Then, apply the method. After, that you may upgrade the kernel again.

Got it??? :)
