It seems to be a GT-I9100G.

So don't flash a kernel or firmware for another model to it. Would Brock your device.

This is a kernel for the international version of the SGS2 (GT-I9100).

If you have any question about or any issue with your SGS2, just ask in the New members friendly Q&A thread.

Have a :eek: at my latest kernel test results.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] -Chill:
Yes that is correct. Any info for this? I can't flash this phone, but, I have mine already.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] souler456:
If anything goes absolutely wrong (hopefully not) and softbricked, Odin's the last resort, am I correct? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Have you already checked the GT-I9100G forum?

Here is a guide how to root, here is a list of available ROMs and kernels, and here is the Q&A thread for the GT-I9100G.

As soon as you are on ICS or JB ROM, you can use Blazing kernel, which seems to be smilar to PhilZ kernel.

I saw also a signed zip file for flashing in stock recovery ... and there are versions with CWM recovery or TWRP recovery.

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

Flashing a new kernel or (stock) firmware with Odin is quite easy.

But flashing PhilZ kernel in recovery should work fine.

Probably he need a rooted one. I think phil will do it for us again ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marjune23:
Afair, Sir Philz already stopped customizing stock kernel...He already gave all the necessary tools to master [MENTION=3690986]_Sale_[/MENTION] for customizing. And he let master sale to decide if he will continue customizing stock kernel or no more...

So the ball is now in the hand of our master...

I hope I don't have memory gap...crossfinger :):):)

kernel for ms3 is not available?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Yes, as it is also XXLSJ.

As I said, the only difference is the recovery version ... and if it's a Odin flashable tar file or a recovery flashable zip file.

Use the signed zip file to directly root your phone (without yellow triange and increasing the custom flash counter).

how i can flash cwm on stock recovery and then flash siyah in cwm?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nitin985:
hi , im currently running stock ics with no root, im unlocked and in the UK. which kernel should flash. and after flashing can i from there flash any kernel i want to straight from clockwork mod? can someone post a link to a kernel that allows overclock of the cpu and gpu. sorry if i sound like a noob, this is the first time I've tried to root a Samsung device and its a lot more complicated than the one x for me.

Hello

I am trying to install the kernel for the new leaked JB rom using the odin version of XXLSJ-OXX-3.1, however when i try to flash it, it fails every time.

Any idea what am doing wrong?

I already redownloaded the file. and when i installed it from the stock recovery the phone stopped working and i had to reflash the JB leak

thanks

answering these questions

90% of the time they are:

- Not related to my kernels: that is issues related to General section like bootloop, fail to flash errors...

- The root issue question: where people show they never read topics and just flash blindly: READ POSTS 1, 2 and 3 at least before asking for support

Start of now, I will no longer answer these types of questions through PM

Hello Sorry if i am bothering you

I tried to install the zip file kernel of the XXLSJ version, I installed from the stock recovery the update file, but then when the phone rebooted, the screen went grey and even though the phone booted up normally, the screen stayed grey as if it was faulty. So i reflashed the stock JB leak again from odin

I tried to flash the kernel from odin but i got the following error

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

hello there sir,i flash v3.5 of your kernel,but upon looking in kernel specific options i dont see your name on it. did you mean that?first time i used your kernel in xxlsj.. im just curius.. =)

---------- Post added at 12:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

thanks for your great work sir!your kernel is getting better everytime!i really appreciate your work in the community,Godbless you. more powers!:good: ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
No idea. But if odin fails then you have issues in connection or file system or doing something wrong

Answer on previous page
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davidroid03:
Install Mobile Odin and flash the kernel.. worked perfectly on my device.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gutslit:
thanks for your great work philz,i'l just wait for the about me in the kernel specs in the next update or as soon you have a flexible time. =) anyway i make a nandroid backup and after i test the size its only 16.87mb?im curius about the file size.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MangeH73:
where do I find the 3.5 kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
This is a stock kernel. I do not plan to alter build.prop info with kernel info. To get kernel info read previous page

About backup size it is the new incremental backup. Set it to tar if you want old style backups
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gutslit:
thanks for your quick reply sir,last question here is it safe to restore it?with that size of backup?thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vilzu:
Thank you Phil for the secure kernel and very handy root method. I recommend the .zip file (located on page 32) for everyone, got a secure kernel and root in 2 minutes.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gutslit:
yup!thats i used to gain root.. very quick!:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Thats index size. Backup data is under blobs folder
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
First u need to flash Philz kernel according to your build number(see the third post for downloading link)

So your phone will be rooted and also will have custom cwm.

Boot into recovery and flash kernel wipe script

Then flash siyah
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Shahrokh.KING:
hi philz, could u make a PhilZ-cwm6-XW

Can u go back and read few pages?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Klubers:
Which one should I use if I have:

Kernel Version:

3.0.15-i9100BVLPB-CL310231

Build number:

IML74K.BVLPB

Its android 4.0.3 thats correct but still..

DULPB-VAU ICS 4.0.3

DXLPB-OLB ICS 4.0.3

I would flash a 4.3.1 rom or even 4.4 but thats the first phone I have and I cant afford a new one so i have to work with stock kernel :<<
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Yes, they may work for your system too.

Or try this BVLPC version.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Klubers:
They "may", Im kinda worried about that. So I have a question..

Is there a chance that my phone wont boot when I will patch with this? What would I need to do in order to get my phone working again, Flash via odin or try other version if download mode and patch via CWM would be available?.

Another one, phone ends up in a bootloop? Flashing with other verion would work??

Is there any safe way of going back to stock kernel when flash would cause the phone to bootloop?

I would really like to keep my phone working, even more that having the admin rights to delete the bloatware thats stuck on the phone.

Yes, I like to know as much as possible before doing something. And since im very noobish in those kind of things (I own the phone for just 2 weeks) the questions can make no sense to advanced user.

Many thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zscomp:
There are many factors to cause a bootloop.

If the kernel version you flashed cause a bootloop, the solution is to flash another working kernel through Odin.

Proceed with the kernel version lt_ler suggested and if doesnt work, try another one.

And you can always flash back the stock one if non of them works.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Klubers:
So rooted with DXLPB-OLB ICS 4.0.3. No problems.

I have SuperSU and apps widget says no apps configured awwwww.

Can force stop or disable them but not delete..

I dont have the option to get into /system folder which is well not good cus I though that doing this would give me the access.

Aroma file manager is not present in recovery mode same as PhilZ Settings :C

so the only thing is how do I delete the stock apps and with what. Since Im "rooted" - Titanium backup or somehow setting permissions for SuperSU so that it grants me the admin rights to do whatever I would like to.

Many thanks again in advance.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
So you flashed PhilZ kernel ... how?

As signed zip file in sock recovery from external sd card?

If yes, then you should be rooted.

You may have to install SuperSU app again and start it. Then there should pop-up a dialog to install SuperSU binaries. Confirm it.

Then it should work fine.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Klubers:
Yes I ended up using the .zip version flashed via stock recovery mode.

Deleted the version that existed via cleanup switch super user app.

Installed 1.91 [latest]

binary update done [normal]/[twrp|CWM]

did cwm first, phone rebooted and when I opened supersu, still same problem.

Deleted app, installed it again, binary update in normal way.

Still no effect, app tab doesnt show anything.. no apps configured.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tennessee_titan:
I don't like installers because they load your computer with a ton if crap! Is there a way I can just download the recovery zip direcly. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jgcaap:
No updates on new kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
You mean the app tab in SuperSu app?

What do you expect to see there?

When starting an app that asks for granting superuser access, there will be a popup message, and after your decision (Grant root access? Y/N) you will see this app on the app tab in SuperSU.

So just start all apps that need root access and take your decision if the access should be granted or not.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Klubers:
So now I know how does thing thing work. Thanks.

im stupid cus I though that supersu was some kind of control panel that alows you to see everything that is installed on device.

After some searching guess I'll need titanium backup to make it work, yet still Thanks for all the answers and helping me to get rooted while not destroying the phone.

These can I use to XWMS2 NeatROM Aroma Lite v5.6 (4.1.2)?

http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spannaa:
For NeatROM 4.1.2 you need a kernel that contains a zImage.

Philz kernels from the link you posted contain a recovery.img which I assume are for CM roms.

The kernel you want is one of the PhilZ-cwm6-XWMS2-MOT-5.15.9 kernels - either signed.zip if you're flashing from your external sd card and want root and no yellow triangle or tar.md5 if you're flashing via odin and are going to root later.

I'd recommend you use PhilZ-cwm6-XWMS2-MOT-5.15.9-signed.zip which is the kernel included in the rom.

No you can't ;)

Can I use it to install SlimSaber 4.4.2? Or do I need the latest 9100 PhilZ for CM? Or it simply cannot be used?

CM 10.2 confused

Hello experts,

After reading a lot I do really feel confused; so sorry if I post a - may be - stupid question, but...

On my SGS2 I'm on latest CM 10.2 Android 4.3.1, with latest Dorimanx stable kernel.

I tried philz_touch_6.07.9-i9100.zip (it looked to be the last PhilZ for i9100) after wiping cache, but then I wasn't able to boot CM again and I had to restore my backup.

Was it wrong (for CM 10.2)?

Should I install PhilZ-cwm6-XWMS2-MOT-5.15.9-signed.zip on CM 10.2?

Thanks a lot, really really

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Coempi:

Not being a CM user I'm not sure, but have you looked in the download folders linked in post #3?

http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=29124#files

http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100

These all contain recovery.img rather than zImage so I assume they are for CM roms.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Coempi:

Best regards, Coempi
[Galaxy S II Android Development] freewing:
Thanks Spannaa,

I do looked into that dirs; that's why I 1stly tried with philz_touch_6.07.1-i9100.zip ...but didn't work at all.

Now I realise that a philz_touch_6.12.8-i9100.zip exists (and I can try it, since it effectively contains a recovery.img).

What leaves me astonished, it the fact that I keep not finding anyone who can tell me "yes, you can" with CM 10.2 and tx xxx_PhilZ kernel.

Anyway I'm doing one more test and will let you know asap.

Thanks again :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spannaa:
Only [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] can tell you that ;)

I suspect most Philz kernel users are running 4.1.2 stock based roms.

Eheheheh... [MENTION=643734]Philz[/MENTION], please, please... give me the light!

:cool:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zscomp:
I think that the file you tried to install is for cm11.

Phil stopped developing his recovery for cm 10.2

The cm10.2 img in that folder is for you to repack it (if you know) with a cm 10.2 kernel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] freewing:
Thanks zscomp,

No, I can't repack it: it's not in my capabilities.

So a CM 10.2 PhilZ kernel is not available at all? Even an "old" one? :confused:

could you link me to the latest philz cwm for i9100 flashable from cwm? Im on the phone and its lagging and i cant find it. Im running latest resurrection remix rom

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Maybe it's an issue with the assert statements in the update script.

Check the build.prop of your current system if it is "GT-I9100" or something else.

BTW, if you want permanent CWM recovery, flash PhilZ-CWM6 kernel zip file ... not the PhilZ-touch recovery only.

Post #3 has all download links.

As I don't know what version you need for your custom ROM, I won't link a specific kernel version.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] freewing:
Thanks.

But, after looking for a quite long time on the net... where can we get "non touch PhilZ-CWM6" kernel?

I was able to install CM 11, and it was working on first boot, but after rebooting the phone stucks at boot, and it looks like a kernel related problem.

THX
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
For CM11 use the latest PhilZ kernel CM version from here.

But AFAIK, they all contain the touch CWM recovery.

For latest stock ROMs, you can use PhilZ kernel for XWMS2.

Is version 5.15.9 from here.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
In updater-script from philz_touch_6.12.8-i9100.zip I see it copies recovery to mmcblk0p5.

On my s2 this is kernel partition whereas mmcblk0p6 is recovery partition.

So I am a bit confused why not copied to mmcblk0p6...

Suppose I flash the ZIP will my stock kernel for normal usage change?

Right now I have a rather recent one (Sep 25)

I apologise if above are FAQs.

FYI:

(on my linux where I unzipped philz_touch_6.12.8-i9100.zip)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Interesting ... on the SGS2, there is no separate/extra/dedicated partition for the recovery ... usually.

If you have not re-partitioned your internal sd card that way, it's maybe only a second mount/name for the same (kernel) partition.

... just guessing ...
