I flashed Leaked 4.1 with your latest kernel via Odin and sadly don't have root access. Any suggestions why?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arsalanaly:
could you explain me how to root i feel so noobish today.... after flashing JB .... first i got philz kernel file so what should i do to get proper rooting my phone should i got like simple steps

1. Open Odin

2. slect philz kernel to PDA

3. flash it

secondly how about CMW or should i download from market or else or root it again to get CMW n SU app
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Flash the zip version. If you really read threads before downloading you will see it. Odin package needs an extra step for root. Zip one comes with root

Nandroid Backup

What am I doing wrong here............................. whenever I make a nandroid backup, the resulting file is tiny (only 10's of MB) while my backup file is usually 1GB +. Please advise.

EDIT : Ignore my question, found the answer. Didnt realise this was implemented in CWM6.

When I try to flash zip version i get this error:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Published source code to github

Did a big effort to submit many changes with steps as a tutorial for someone else that would like to dig into the cwm code

I based my initial commit on stock cwm6 up to actual cwm 6.0.1.7 I will soon release

https://github.com/PhilZ-cwm6/philz_touch_cwm6

Please, do not flame if code not so clean. Just have no time to always clean and use less variables once I do implement things that work

Just propose enhancements

Internal SD card

Hi guys,

I would like to made the backup with philz recovery. And I have the option Backup to internal sd card. Is this internal sd card the sd card that I inserted it in the phone (SanDisk) or is this the internal phone memory?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Souldrinker:
Internal Sd card is the fat32 partition of the internal phone memory. The sd card you put in the phone is called external sd card.

Is it safe to perform a Full Wipe/Factory Reset

Hi,

I am using GT-I9100 with the XWLSW ROM with Philz kernel 5.15.0. Just wanted to know if it is safe to do a full wipe/factory reset. I downloaded the app that tells you whether your phone has the insane chip that causes bricking and it says the chip in my phone is prone to bricking.

A little help and advice here would be really appreciated.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Hi Phil, sorry for disturbing you in thread but I think you don't admit PM

I want to ask you permission for including your recovery in my i9100 recovery (Apolo). I can't maintain my own recovery any longer because I can't compile in a 64 bits ( my pc is a little old) and it's necessary in new android versions. I think your recovery is the best, so I'd like to add it to my kernel.

You can PM if you wish.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] MR-HIPPO:
I dread to think how many hours must have gone into this project, and appreciate the hard work.

I followed the instructions in post #3 to flash the signed zip for my phone.

My phone has Build Number JZ054K.19100XWLSW so I flashed the "PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSW-XEU-5.06.1-signed.zip" file

It mostly works, but I have an issue with Superuser.

I have a notification telling me "Install Superuser, the su binary is out of date."

If I click on the notification, or open the super user app normally, a pop up window appears titled "Install"

containing the following text

"The Superuser binaty {su) must be updated.

Please choose an installation method.

Recovery mode installation is recommended for HTC devices."

If I click "install" the installation is apparently successful, and the notification goes away, but superuser no longer seems to work, and will no longer prompt to allow superuser requests, the phone becomes effectively unrooted.

Reflashing the Zip as per post #3 {now using the touch cwm6 interface) restores root, but once again I have the "Install Superuser" notification, and the "Install" pop up window in the superuser app.

Any help or advice in rectifying this would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] heywheelie:
Is the best way to update Superuser to flash the latest version from CWM (in zip format) through recovery?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gokul1980:
Same issue here

Hi,

Even i am facing the same issue. However i flashed the "PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSW-OXX-5.15.0-signed" kernel. Everything else with my phone seems fine except for the fact that the phone does not seem to have proper root privileges. I even checked this with the Root Checker app and it says my phone does not have the proper root privileges. Not sure why.

I am now planning to go back and flash the XWLST ROM, then reflash the appropriate Philz kernel i.e. "PhilZ-cwm6-XWLST-ODD-5.06.1-signed"and check whether this roots my phone properly.

As you said, any help or advice here would be greatly helpful and appreciated.

@ phil3759

Your last kernel drains the battery a lot by using wifi. Can you do something to resolve this problem please?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
I'm not Phil3759, but PhilZ kernel is mainly stock kernel (rooted + touch CWM recovery) ... so PhilZ kernel is using the stock wifi driver.

To change the battery consumption when using wifi, you need a custom kernel with a different wifi driver (such as Dorimanx or Apolo).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] NullRef:
I had this problem and solved it by installing "SuperSU", in my case it was an issue with the "SuperUser" app ...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
I have good and bad news for you all

Good news, I will continue building for i9100

Now the bad ones: I am stopping repack for stock kernels

What does it mean?

- I added a new repo to download latest versions:

I9100 (cm only): http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=29124#files

- The new files I release are zImage files with latest PhilZ Touch recovery, but repacked with a cm-10.2 kernel

- These WILL NOT BOOT ON A TW ROM

Reasons

- Samsung did not release any +4.3 selinux enabled kernel

- Without a newer kernel, you cannot flash new kit kat roms

- I see no reason to continue repacking new +4.3 and later 4.4 recoveries with old kernels

For other i9100 developers

You can still try to repack my recovery on an older kernel, I allow it, no need to ask for permission

Hope you understand my decision.

By the way, I tested the new recovery, it works great.

I will continue to develop for i9100 since it is my only non data media phone. So, it helps to debug some parts of the code
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RovG:
Thank you Phil.

The shock of the bad news is just so sudden. :eek: :(

Please may we have one last repack of stock untill someone else can step in and start repacking stock for us. It would really help to ease the shock, trauma & pain for us. :sly:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
But repack what with what?

The new recovery won't give you more with old kernel.

I will also need to spend some time revising my scripts. Could also be things will not fit without extra work
[Galaxy S II Android Development] heywheelie:
Thanks for all your hard work.

Will all your existing kernels for stock ROMs continue to be available?

Pardon the newbie question but what is a TW ROM?

today i just flashed the I9100XWMS1_I9100NEELS1_NEE and when it rebooted all was fine, then i went ahead and flashed PhilZ-cwm6-XWMS1-NEE-5.15.9-signed and then wiped cache and dalvix and rebooted and it booted fine but just after a minute or so everything hangs and it wont recover at all, need to pull battery out or long press power button to make it reboot but the phone isnt usable at all

[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Glad that you're phone is working fine now.

Will you try to flash XWMS1 again?

As long as you can boot into recovery mode, you can re-flash the kernel, wipe cache/Dalvik/data or restore a nandroid backup to "repair" the system.

yes im planning to install it again, i already tried installing the kernel twice and clearing the cache and dalvik probably 7 times but it doesnt solve the issue, the strange thing is, using the stock kernel everything works fine without a single issue but i need to have root so i need this kernel. Even and insecure stock kernel would be helpful but it seems tough to find such for such an old device
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Maybe better re-download the kernel zip file.

Just to avoid that it's a bad download > corrupt file.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] khal_nayak:
i tried that as well and the file is perfect as it installs perfectly fine as well as the phone boots also just fine

Checking and comparing md5 sum of the downloaded file is the only 100% secure way of checking if it may be corrupted.

If you're already rooted you can flash kernel tar file via MobileOdinLite.

the kernel file is perfect, i guess after installing this kernel and booting, after some while something takes up 100% cpu and then with overheat the device reboots but this doesnyt happen with the stock kernel

Replace boot.img in rom zip with the one you just downloaded (backup the original boot.img just in case) and flash.

If it fails, replace again boot.img with the backup and reflash.

Well , i did as you told, then after first Samsung screen, it was a totally black screen, then went back to recovery and it was philz..

flash the original CM11 kitkat 4.4.1 rom with the original boot image.

now working fine. no issues so far.

well now..i booted back to recovery and it is CWM , not Phil3759's...

how can I unroot my s2 i9100 intl. I have flashed PhilZ-cwm6-XWLST-ODD-5.06.1-signed.zip

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
There are different ways to unroot.

Here just a few:

1. Flash a stock ROM.

2. Flash a stock kernel.

3. Install a superuser app, which allows you to unroot ... such as SuperSu from Chainfire. But you will still have CWM recovery of the kernel.

If you want to give the phone to someone else, and you want no "left-overs" of rooting, then I recommend to flash stock kernel or the whole stock ROM.

If you just want to unroot to "disable" the root access rights, then install Chainfire's Super SU app from Play store.

Start it, confirm to install its binaries and reboot the phone afterwards.

Now SuperSU replaced the superuser app which was automatically installed by PhilZ kernel.

Then you can start SuperSU app, navigate to its settings tab and select "Full unroot".

i wanna unbrand my 9100P with the latest french firmware, with this kernel the NFC will be enabled again on an unbranded stock rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Yes, AFAIK the NFC functionality is independent from the branding.

You only have to flash a firmware (ROM and kernel) that is for your model (GT-I9100P) to support the NFC feature.

thanks but i read somewhere that a NFC patch is required, maybe i'm wrong ...
