You can turn off auto OTA. Use a good custom ROM and you will never go back to stock.

Best regards, Coempi
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PatrickF:
I know, but I'm sticking with stock. If you know the answers to my questions, it would be great!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
I recommend to turn off OTA updates.

AFAIK, even if the system is recognized by OTA update service, there might be issues with auto-updates.

And if there is a new firmware version (ROM + kernel), then you would get stock system = unrooted.

If you like stock/Sammy ROMs, then check this thread regularly (or better subscribe to it).

Every new stock ROM version will be posted there. And you can download + flash it, if you want.

Use Mobile Odin Pro app from play store to flash it with EverRoot option (auto-root new firmware while flashing), or wait for new PhilZ-kernel to root afterwards.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ron-ski:
Would some one be kind enough to confirm I've done this correctly, or point me in the right direction if not please.

I flashed the latest UK ROM (I9100XWLSW_I9100XEULS5_XEU) via PC Odin to my I9100P, which is the same as a I9100 except for the NFC

Then to root the phone I applied update from recovery using PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSW-XEU-5.06.1-signed.zip. Although there is no LSW in the file name above, I'm sure it is an LSW ROM, going by the first rom on the list here.

When I rebooted the phone it got to the lock screen, but seemed to freeze, and then appeared to turn off, so I left it, but when I came back later about 2 hours later the phone was rather hot, so I pulled the battery.

This morning I've checked it and it does the seem, and the battery was as good as flat, but was fully charged before doing the updates last night.

So I've gone into recovery (which looks very nice) and done a factory reset. The phone boots and is at the first screen, but I don't have time to go through the set up procedure as I have to go to work.

Edit: factory reset seems to have cured it :)

***Inviato dal mio fagiolo magico***
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PatrickF:
Follow up

Sorry for being a newbie at this.

But isn't the ROM in the linked thread the same as the one you get OTA or in Kies?

Do I somehow have to un-root before updating to newer stock or is it ok to just update and apply root again with PhilZ?

Does updating rooted stock to newer un-rooted stock mean that settings are gone like a factory reset? (I wan't to avoid this since it's my gf phone)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Depends if the latest firmware is for your phone in your region/country and for your provider.

If yes, then it's the same firmware (ROM).

In all other cases, you will find the latest officially release firmware in the thread I linked, but you won't get it via OTA update.

E.g. XWLSW is only released for UK and Germany ATM. In all other countries, you won't get this firmware version.

If you are rooted, you can use Mobile Odin Pro app to flash the new stock ROM with EverRoot (will auto-root the new ROM on the fly).

If you don't want to buy this app, you can flash the stock ROM first, then root by flashing corresponding PhilZ kernel (as signed zip file from external sd card) - that's the way I do it ... if I don't flash a pre-rooted ROM (such as NeatROM).

Unrooting will only remove root access (superuser, busybox and CWM recovery), but has no influence to the data (pictures, movies, music, apps, app data, settings, etc.) on your sd card.

I had a very good surprise when i formatted it in exFat ...

Telephone is quicker and smoother and even app than aren't in ExtSd are faster, system app too ....

And battery life is much better.... amazing!!

Only one question, ExtFAT is supported by Philz kernel or is supported by stock JB too?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ron-ski:
I have a I9100P in the UK.

I flashed this I9100XWLSW downloaded is here flahsed with PC Odin 3.04

And then I flashed PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSW-XEU-5.06.1-signed.zip download from the third post in this thread, following the Recovery (.zip) packages instructions from the top of that post.

Then to enable NFC as I had a P variant I followed these instructions.

I did need to do a factory wipe to cure a few problems.

If you are not in the UK and you want a ROM specific to your country then look here, and look for the matching package in the third post.

Hope that helps
[Galaxy S II Android Development] -Sie-:

Which kernel

Hi

Having done numerous searches both on this site and many others and I am struggling to find which kernel i need to download to root my s2. The version I have is 3.0.31-1211311 dpi@DELL251 #3

Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Many thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:
Go to Settings>About device, read your phone model, build number and opening posts.

No problem
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Never happened on my phone.

I read from another user that he has the same issue when the phone is connected to a non-original charger.

Touch sensivity seems to be "sensitive" concerning voltage/current.

I would check everything else before wiping data.

Does the screen only "moves" on scrollable areas, or also when there is nothing to scroll?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] onolox:
I'm having problems with this kernel in recent months, described in this post: Nandroid problem.

The question is: if the | preload | option of nandroid backup is essential to a successful restore, why it is not marked by default? Why it is not part of a "default backup"?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
PhilZ kernel is also available for other devices, and not all of them need/have the preload partition.

So it's because of compatibility with other brands/devices.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Yes,

Sorry, I looked at it and it would take some extra tags to enable it by default for just 2 aging devices, i9100 and n7000

Also, it would lead to many other small changes to handle the new default setting

I have just an i9100 and despite that I felt it is not worth the effort

Users have to do a small effort

In a future version, I could add user settings for custom backup and restore

so guys, my galaxy s2 phone doesn't have any external sd card in it...

the instructions specifically states that i must put the signed.zip file into the external sd card

so i can't put the file in the internal storage right?

sorry if this question is too stupid :X
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Jeetu:
Yes you have to flash the zip file from your external sd card or you can use odin for tar file to root your phone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:
Hi Jetuu,

tar file won't root his phone. It will only add Philz costum Recovery.

But it's needed to flash signed.zip later from internalSD that will root it.

Yellow triangle can be removed then with TriangleAway app available on XDA.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Jeetu:
Opps.. I was not aware of that because i never flashed tar file.:p

Thanks Mate for pointing out my mistake.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Qvoth:
ok so i think what you mean is i need the flash the tar file using odin to add the custom recovery, and then flash the signed.zip from internal sd card?

seems troublesome, guess i'll just buy an external sd instead lol
[Galaxy S II Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:
You can read OP, there are some alternative methods described but yes, rooting without yellow triangle aside, I would go and buy an external SD card for various other reasons. :)

Cheers man. :thumbup:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] soulreaver1:
I have a problem with debugging apps after installing PhilZ kernel 5.06.6 on XWLSW. While encounter a ANR phone permanently freezes and eventually reboots itself. System is not even showing "Application is not responding" alert. On a stock kernel ANR alert is shown and then system comes back to normal after a while. Is it possible to fix it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:
Philz kernel is stock repacked with custom Recovery, just fixed for bootloop.

My wild guess is that you're experiencing something else than unresponsive app.

Check your mediascanner wakelock time, fix permissions, clear caches first.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stanley08:
So i can just flash this in ODIN? http://www.mediafire.com/file/6gpa6xclotu36uj/PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSJ-OXX-3.1.tar.md5

And i will not have issues?

Or so not to increase download counts in download mode, can i rename this PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSJ-OXX-3.1-signed.zip to 'update.zip'

Place in external SD card and flash through stock recovery?

Pls sorry for all the noob questions. I like to be extra sure. Thanks.

ALSO, i hope this doesn't reduce battery life or affect sleep! Cause for the first time in a million years, i feel my phone's sleep is PERFECT. thanks.

P.S I'm already rooted using CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Odin version is not pre-rooted. You can flash root after that from here: Method 1

However, if you flash my zip packages directly in stock recovery you get:

- root

- stock no brick bug kernel

- cwm6

- many features

- no yellow triangle

- no pc needed

And would appreciate it if anyone can tell me what goes where in the mobile odin? :cyclops:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Darkmind1:
I have read across this thread but I am still confused a bit about the safety of this Kernel. Right now I am about to update to Leaked Samsung Jelly Bean ROM and I plan to follow these steps:

1) Flash Jelly Bean via Odin

2) Flash your Kernel via Odin (this will not give me root)

3) Flash CWM version of the Kernel which should give me root and everything I need.

Is this method totally safe from the infamous brickbug?

Took me hours to figure this out. I came to this thread and finally after reading it got to know about it. I wonder why odin version isnt pre-rooted?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Version XXLSJ

no need to flash my odin version, flash directly the .zip version in stock recovery, it is magic :)

No, it is meant to ensure file is not corrupted

But, I encourage flashing the zip version in recovery: no yellow triangle and you get root

Odin version is not pre-rooted for many reasons. One of them is give people the choice to unroot when they needed for some apps
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Darkmind1:
Not meaning to doubt your skills, but I am being extremely cautious with this superbrick bug, hence why I want to ask you, is it no danger to superbrick my phone? I have never experienced the superbrick bug as I have always taken care on what I am flashing. Atm I am running the stock leaked Jelly Bean ROM. As far as I know, if you have a buggy Kernel, insane chip and the existing recovery (which is stock on my phone), you are in danger, since the phone will attempt to make an erase, or am I mistaken on something?

Just to know for now and future.

Thanks for your patience.

After reflashing with stock XWLSW it works just fine, so there must be something wrong with the kernel. I've cleared cache, dalvik and fixed permissions.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TTLucian:
Hello all! I've had some problems with NeatRom XWLSW and PhilZ v5.06.6. The phone was rebooting randomly for no apparent reason. I've tried every flashing combination imaginable, no wipe, full wipe, PhilZ v5.06.6 and Hawker's cleaning scripts (all of them) in every combination possible. The symptoms were the same every time, the phone was hot rebooting by itself and for no apparent reason at some point or another. So I began searching through possible causes and here's what I found: e2fsck was reporting all sorts of errors on all partitions formatted in recovery. So I used parted and tune2fs to reformat all partitions (system, data, preload and cache). After this, e2fsck was not reporting any errors. So I installed NeatROM again and all seems to be working ok. So, do any of you know about any problems relating to formatting from recovery using this kernel or any of the problems described above?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Qvoth:
umm so i've followed the instructions...

is there any way to find out if you're phone has been rooted?

Try to do it this way:

Rename the file "armomafm.zip" and place it into "clockworkmod/aromafm/" folder.

It should be named aromafm.zip and be placed in the \clockworkmod\aromafm\ folder on your external or internal sdcard.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Check your current superuser app.

Is it Superuser or SuperSU?

Maybe this changed after flashing PhilZ kernel.

Then you have to grant all root apps newly root access.

BTW, there is a way to prevent PhilZ kernel from installing Superuser ... you have to place a cfg file into clockworkmod folder. (It's described in here.)

From the changelist:

option to skip flashing superuser using philz_installer.cfg​

The app is superuser. The one came with philz kernel. Any chance to re-install it or install supersu instead?
