[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Firstly, CF-Root doesn't use insecure kernels, it uses modified kernels, but thats OK. Here is a link to a one click root solution made by a reputable developer: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125414

Scroll down the first post and you shall find the instructions. I believe the second post has a link to all the insecure kernels, including KH2 (I checked), and if you scroll down that link a little more, you shall find your original KH2 kernel to flash back to stop the yellow triangle showing at boot, but if you are immediately flashing a custom ROM, that is fine.

This method however will not grant you ClockWorkMod so you can flash a kernel such as Siyah Kernel, make sure to download the GB kernel, not the latest ICS kernel! Here is a link to the GB kernel: http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/03/19/siyahkernel-v2-6-14/

Flash this using Odin. Put the .tar file in the PDA section on Odin once you have put your phone in download mode, killed off any Kies processes on your computer, and click start. This will add a new custom kernel to your phone, granting you ClockWorkMod Recovery, allowing you to flash a custom ROM.

Before progressing any further, back up your phone by booting into CWM (home button + power button + volume up button).

Also, download EFS Pro: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1308546 This tool backs up your EFS folder which contains your IMEI which can be damaged easily when flashing custom ROM's and you don't want to do that!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhavik_sheth:
What if I want to just update my S2 to the latest stock rom and not have a custom rom. Do I have to flash back to the original kernel to be able to update the stock rom? Once I update to the latest stock rom, will my phone still be rooted or will I have to root it again?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
You would have to root it again. But Chainfire should have all the modified kernels for 4.0.3 ready for your use anyway.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhavik_sheth:
So after I flash the insecure kernel to root my phone (gingerbread), shall I flash back to the original kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Yeah it stops the yellow warning triangle being displayed at boot. Your custom flash counter will increase but it can easily be reset by buying a USB jig off eBay.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhavik_sheth:
So I should flash back to original kernel and then update to ics and then root again?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Or just flash Siyah kernel via Odin and then flash a custom ROM which should automatically root your phone. If not, just find a CF-Root kernel for your firmware and all shall be good.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhavik_sheth:
There isn't a CF-Root Kernel for me which is why I created this thread to ask for the second best method to rooting a gingerbread S2 or if I should use KH3 CF-Root Kernel to root. I'm only rooting so I can back up app data using titanium. This is my first time rooting and flashing and I was going to root using CF-Root until I couldn't find a modified kernel for me.

The play music app doesn't detect the music on my SD card. Tried on stock and meanrom.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] goldenarms7:
You have to move your music to internal SD card

That's stupid in my opinion if I don't want to use my phone's internal storage. Oh well guess I'll just stick to the stock music player.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladvertigo:
i just completely got lost here in incredible forums :confused:

have one phone here and it stock on htcincredible logo, phone goes to hboot ( it is S-ON, HBOOT-0.92.0000, radio 2.15.10.07.07) , recovery and stuff, but i cant find a stock firmware, some topics have broken links :(

tried this one PB31IMG_3.26.605.1_RUU.zip, but it says "Main Version is older! Update Fail!" i believe this file is too old

what is the solution? which firmware should i flash to recover it

thanks

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
It seems like you might have a bad SD card. Do you have any spare SDs lying around that you could try out? by the way have you been trying to flash these updates through recovery, because they are designed to be flashed in hboot. I thought you were using hboot to flash based on the language used but from the picture you loaded it looks like stock recovery if I am correct. If you have been trying to flash these files through recovery try again using hboot but I suspect you were doing it right the first time. If that is the case, I would do like I suggested above and try using an alternate sd card. I can't promise that will fix the problem but based on the fact that recovery is unable to mount /sdcard it seems like it is a hardware problem.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladvertigo:
no, i flashed trough hboot and device did not boot

after that i tried to do hardreset in recovery

i will try another card, i have 64gb on me right now, dont know if it will work :laugh:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2kdriver80:
Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question. :) When I first bought my UK unlocked I9100, it had Gingerbread on it. I then upgraded to the stock 4.0.3 ICS and then rooted with CF-Root v.5.4 LP7 as per instructions posted here on XDA.

Here are my current stats now...

I9100XWLP7

baseband version: I9100XXLPS

kernel version: 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913

dpi@DELL134 #3

build number: IML74K.XWLP7

CF-Root v5.4 LP7

Yesterday, I got an automatic notification on my phone telling me there is a software update. I'm assuming this is the same thing as the stock 4.0.4 firmware posted on these forums...

I9100XWLPT

Base Firmware: I9100XWLPT (4.0.4)

Region: Europe

Country United Kingdom / Ireland

Carrier: Unbranded

Build Date: 27 July 2012

Modem: XXLQ6

CSC: XEULPA

Change List: 941023

Can I upgrade by hitting OK on the phone to the automatic update or by doing it through Kies? Will it break the root, or worse screw up the phone because it was rooted? If it just undoes the root without doing damage, how would I re-root? If it keeps the root intact, that would be the ideal situation.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
It will break root. But if you make update, never use CWM on stock kernel (hardbrick bug enabled).

You can re-root by flashing CF-Root.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2kdriver80:
Thanks for the quick reply. So if I stick with stock firmwares and CF-root, I don't have to worry about bricking, right? I assume the instructions in the first post of this thread is what I need to follow...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1544487

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webjunky:
can't he not just use KIES in order to update safely to 4.0.4 ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2kdriver80:
From what I understand, I can either upgrade via Kies or flash the same firmware that's listed in the forums. And then when I root, I take it I follow these steps...

Instructions For Rooting ICS :

Extract the Rooted Kernel

Open the included Odin

Put your device into Download MODE

Click PDA and select CF-Root-SGS2_*-v5.3-CWM5.tar

Then finally click START!

hey, i factory reset my phone and relocked the bootloader, but when i try to download the OTA update (the prep part, not even the big one), it stops at FastBoot and says:

*** RELOCKED ***

and I can't do anything but reboot from there. Thoughts?

download the .12 ruu....and rename it to "PH98IMG.zip".....put it on your removeable sd card.

pull the battery.

volume down and hold power button

run bootloader

the rest is automatic.

then use the v2.1 toolkit and reinstall amon ra recovery 3.15

then find and flash the follwing superuser zip : Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed

Done and rooted.

I'm on cyanogenmod 10 beta 3 and wanted to go back to AOKP Milestone 6 but I'm having problems with superuser (and therefore cant use mobile odin) so I was wondering if I could just restore my nandroid back to EL26 via the JB recovery mode and then flash the aokp ROM through that recovery like normal? Or would that not work/brick my phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] organizedConfoosion:
Bump, really need some input on this. Any help is appreciated. thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
Safe bet as I had the same issue: use sfhub one click to go back to el29 w root, then one click root to el26 cwm access and then you're good to go. Just make sure whatever road u take it leads you to el26 cwm by chris41g.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] organizedConfoosion:
I don't really have a PC at my disposal at the moment though is my biggest problem :/ which is why I was asking if restoring back to my nandroid back up via JB recovery would be safe?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vinscuzzy:
Hey, quick question.I'm just trying to do some reading about safety and such, and came across your post. Wouldn't it be safe to JUST Odin EL26 CWM alone? Without going back to EL29 first? Is that necessary? Again, not being a smartass and trying to call you out, I'm just really trying to get a hold on what is safe, or not, and procedures.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
That's exactly what you should do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
Well the main issue is it seems he lost root access....just saying its safest to start fresh. Only takes 10 extra minutes. If he had root he would've been able to just mobile Odin el26 like he stated, but its not an option.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] organizedConfoosion:
Exactly. That's the problem I'm having, which is why I'm asking if (since i dont have a pc to use) It would be smart and safe to just restore my nandroid (which is el26 with root and cwm) from the JB recovery (cwm6) and then just flash my original ROM through el26 cwm.

Anyone think this is safe?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
It sounds safe, both are quoted as being safe recoveries. I even restored a nand from a broken phone onto my replacement one yesterday so I'm sure what you're doing is far less risky. Its the wiping in non-safe recoveries that caused bricks, you should be OK as long as you don't do something stupid like pull the battery during the restore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vinscuzzy:
Someone else told me that even while restoring a nandroid backup, it still wipes data, so if you're on an unsafe kernel, it still can brick. Just so everyone knows, I was on a safe kernel when I bricked mine. Apparently there was a mis-merge that happened that caused the safe kernel to be unsafe for a few days. I was very unlucky, but its one of the risks we all take when doing this. I'm planning on odin-ing el26 kernel whenever I need recovery from here on out!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] organizedConfoosion:
Thank you both for the replies. I guess I'll go ahead and try the nandroid restore.

Wish me luck haha. Hopefully this recovery is as stable as people have been saying lately.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
Just thought of something: if you lost root, how do you still have a custom recovery? You may want to wait til ur near a PC to do el26 flash!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] organizedConfoosion:
No idea but I can boot into CWM just fine, its just superuser won't give me root access. I even tried to do the su binary update and nothing.

I'm not flashing El26, I'm just restoring to my nandroid backup which is el26.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
OK well good luck and let us know how it goes! Fingers crossed....
