[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
There isn't an exact match. Which leaves you with two options:-

A) As per the CFRoot thread "Help ! Which file do I use" - "If there's no match and I'm not making one, try finding the closest match."

B) Extract the kernel zImage from the stock rom, send it to Chainfire & ask him nicely to make a CFRoot kernel. Whether he will or not, who knows.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fe31nz:
Thanks for that. I am trying both routes at the moment.

For A), there is a CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LP6-v5.2-CWM5.zip file win an LP6 kernel that looks to be the closest. I can try that.

For B), I have found FUS, downloaded the stock I9100TDOLP5_I9100TTNZLP3_I9100TDOLP4_HOME.tar.md5 file and extracted the zImage file from it. I think, though, that posting it and attracting Chainfire's attention will need to wait a bit as I am a complete noobie here and can not post on the developer forums yet. Is posting to the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14283342 thread the correct way to go about that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
hey u can try the lps one below which works with LP4

http://download.chainfire.eu/157/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5.zip
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
That seems to be the closest match, so yeah, you can use that kernel.

Good job downloading the rom with Checkfus (keep that on your PC in case you ever need to go back to stock for whatever reason). A lot of people wouldn't show that kind of initiative ;) Yeah, post it to the thread, or I guess you might be able to attach it to a PM (not sure if it will fit into the attachment size limit or not).

Just be patient & I'm sure he'll get around to making the exact match sooner or later, but you'll have already rooted your phone with the LP6 kernel and using it or an exact match isn't going to make any difference really at the end of the day.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fe31nz:
Thanks, this kernel worked for me. Or at least it is so far - I have not tested too much yet, but all seems normal.

I did try the LP6 one also, but that did not boot properly. I suspect I need CF-Root 5.4 for ICS, and that one was only 5.2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeeTang:
Hi Guys,

So im looking to root my SGS2 currently running the LP5. However, im packing myself incase i brick it... lol

So im downloading the LP5 stuff incase of a mishap.

I just want to get it all straight before i go doing anything so bare with me please :)

So i download keis so i have the usb drivers.

Download Odin.

Download the LPS CF-ROOT

Launch the LPS in odin under PDA

Pack myself a little

Bing bong im rooted??

cheers guys
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neerajganga:
yea
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeeTang:
Ok so i downloaded the LPS.rar and extracted it and its a zImage not a .tar.

how do i get it to a .tar file?

[Update] Got It!! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] areynoldsnz:
LPS kernel ok?

fe31nz - I am keen to root my phone and wanted to know how you were getting on with using LPS kernel? Everything working alright? I have a Telecom branded phone but am using 2 Degrees, it's working fine, but I want to root it to remove the stupid Y! Tworld browser and get the default browser, plus obviously try some other goodies that require root.

From what I have garnered reading the forums, the CF-Root shouldn't affect the modem etc, but does that mean it also doesn't change the frequencies the phone uses? I see this model probably has the ability to use 5 bands WCDMA, but the firmware sets which are enabled, I just don't want to screw up my 3G.

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------

Also, just wondering how you figure out which is the closest match? What are you basing your decision for LPS on?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fe31nz:
I have had exactly 0 problems with my LPS kernel. I tried it because it was recommended and it had CF-Root 5.4. I already knew I could recover back to the stock kernel if necessary as I had already done that, using the ROM downloaded via checkfus, when the LP6 kernel did not work. So I was happy to try any suggestion.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] areynoldsnz:
Cool, thanks for that, I will give it a go. Got the stock firmware, kernel etc just in case. I think I will do some benchmarks first for 3G speeds and then compare, to be sure I haven't made any reduction in quality and speed before testing with the LPS kernel.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeeTang:
I put the lps on my ICS sgs2 and have had no probs either :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] areynoldsnz:
Rooted my phone thanks to you guys!

Just need to replace the retarded Y! Tworld browser with the real ICS browser. I have tried to do this using ES File Explorer and a modded ICS browser found here on XDA, but I can't get it to work either by trying to install it, or copying it to system\apps.

Anyone else done this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] areynoldsnz:
I eventually used checkfus to download the official Vodafone ROM which has the proper Android browser, was happy to see my bookmarks come down with google sync. I can't believe Telecom have put out a ROM with a broken browser that prevents users from syncing their bookmarks with their google account like any normal Android user would expect. Very poor form Telecom!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeeTang:
Gingerbread rom??

Here is my next issue for you guys (posting here so the kiwis see it)

on gingerbread when my facebook contacts synced it also synced with other apps like viber etc

i think it was the samsung facebook sync that did it but the ics version only syncs messages. Does anyone know how to get around this or does someone have the origonal telecom gingerbread rom so i can flash back.

Cheers guys

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] j3tt3:
Finallly a cwm flashable 9.2.1.21 ww version update...

Need to know how it feels to use a clean new firmware...:D

... and need to flash stock rom 9.2.1.17, right?

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Lizard:
Ehm, you don't. :)

I've done this patch as a private patch, not on behalf of the ARHD team.

Mike's rom is based on the 9.2.2.3 base from the TF101G.

(9.2.2.3 can be compared to 9.2.1.17 for the normal TF101)

I'm sure when Asus releases the OTA update for the TF101G, Mike will update the rom accordingly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cspiby:
I meant to return to stock from AHD, I guess I need to find a full ROM from somewhere first?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Magic2009:
Just installed the update, no issues, apps updating, everything looks cool.... so far!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] farsight73:
So this is for the TF101 stock ICS 9.2.1.17 upgrade package via CWM..

Mine was rooted with CWM installed.. Of course with rootkeeper too.

But I'd since flash Guver's custom kernel. Would this work with your flashable zip?

All other system files/apps were untouched..

And will all my installed games and apps remain intake after this update?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] superdioz:
does this asus update finally fix the bosd and reboot problems?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xbs:
Me too. Installed the update and apps are optimizing...

Thank you!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] locutus7o9:
100%? probably not. but hopefully it's a small step in the right direction.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Lizard:
Yes, you should be able to find the stock rom on Asus' site.

This will work fine, but you will lose the custom kernel. You will need to reflash the kernel after flashing this upgrade. Installed games/apps will also remain.

Asus hopes it will fix most problems, but there are already reports this update doesn't fix all cases.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wilx:
I have just installed this, and it has removed my root. The zip file says rooted.... What can I do now to get root back? There is no SU Icon and If I run Lucky patcher it says I cant do things as don't have root
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Lizard:
You didn't really read the startpost then...

But since I assume you still have CWM installed, you can flash the su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip package from the superuser site.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Did you use OTA RootKeeper as suggested in the OP?

You will need to go back to a rootable firmware, root, use OTA RK, update to .21 and restore root with OTA RK
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xbs:
Did you install OTA rootkeeper before flashing?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wilx:
Came up with error when I tried to install Error in zip file.

Like a fool I didn't notice the use root keeper, and as the zip file had"rooted" in the title, assume it was allready present

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

Thanks, what is the best rootable firmware to go back to with CWM installed does anyone know?

TIA
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Lizard:
Ok, let's try to fix this for you:

can you do this in a terminal:

ls -l /system/bin/su

And paste the output? Because I assume you still have su installed just with the incorrect permissions.

The I'll make a small script to correct the permissions from recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mikkle:
Does not work on guevor's kernels.

Updater script fails on checking pre-install requirements:

assert(apply_patch_check("/system/lib/modules/battery_rvsd.ko", "66c516b01d95c36310cc3e7ee7771b32ed5cb823", "cc8d636a0573c41623c066c4fb5e238f611$
set_progress(0.994619);

That's the first line in the updater-script that fails.

I believe the bcm4329.ko, bcmdhd.ko, scsi_wait_scan.ko, and maybe the /system/vendor/firmware/bcm4329/fw_bcmdhd_p2p.bin will also fail.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wilx:
Thanks for your help, I have got home from work realised I still had my root from the .17 update in Root Keeper, so I put that back. thanks very much for your offer of help though. I think it may be an idea to remove the "rooted" from the image name though, because it is misleading and will no doubt fool some other person, if not now, 6 months down the line when they finf the file on their microsd card

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] farsight73:
Lizard, could you confirmed this wouldn't work with custom kernel. Or may be there's work around for this?

I was about to flash but seeing this is to hold on for now..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Lizard:
Well, did you modify/remove some apps? I tested the update on my own WW transformer with stock rooted FW and everything worked just fine.

Just to be sure you are on 9.2.1.17 WW?

Hmmm, I'm not running a custom kernel, I thought the kernel is only updated in the boot image, but it seems there are seperate modules as well. So the update will fail with the custom supplied modules.

A workaround would be to extract the updater script and remove the offending lines. then replace the updater script in the zip file with your edited version.

No easy solution I'm afraid.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] msaraiva:
Just IMHO, but i think these update packages that do binary patching aren't of much use to rooted/cwm users, since it's probabable that some modification was done to the /system partition. A full package would work a lot better.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] farsight73:
Thanks again for your swift answer.. anyway you could help build a .17 stock kernel flashable zip?

This would be the faster way to use your .21 update pakage and return back my custom kernel right after that..

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Salvestro:
Don't work!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Lizard:
Well, they work for me since I'm on just a rooted stock rom. If you are modifying a lot then a 'full' update package will not please other people since it will return some apps they removed before. It's a situation you can't win.

I'll have a look if I can create such a file, will most likely be not before the weekend.

Still need to check which extra modules to include then, so the update package will work correctly. Can you give a link to the custom kernel you use?

Strange problem, unfortunately Asus didn't release the full .21 update yet. Normally it appears a few days after the OTA release. So right now I can't supply you with such a package.

Just let me look in my crystal ball to see what's your problem.

Seriously though, how do you expect me to answer that?

Provide some more information. What did you try and how did it fail?

Great.. thanks again for the effort there.. I did tried to flash your zip just to see how it really go. But it end up failed and aborted the installation.

And the custom kernel I use is from guevor's thread kernel ICS test16 on post#3. Perhaps something you could do about it like removing some vital verification during the CWM flashing process or just totally remove the .12 kernel section.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Lizard:
I found a bit of spare time.

So I've created a nokernel cwm update:

ww-9.2.1.17-to-9.2.1.21-CWM-nokernel-v1.0.zip

This update package should not touch custom kernel/modules.

I've disabled the module checks so it should work.

IMPORTANT: Since I'm not running a custom kernel I'm not able to test this.

Flash at your own risk, although everything should work fine.

To clarify, this package is intended for rooted 9.2.1.17 users running a custom kernel without other modifications!

Can I flash the full .24 zip over what I have and get that to replace the non stock kernel? I'm under the impression there is some sort of check, a checksum or something, that occurs before the update file gets to replace what's on the tablet and if what's there isn't what's expected it won't work. Am I understanding correctly or will I be able to go full rooted stock .24?
