Because I red in mnay other thread that if you have a S2 with ROM ..XWLSD you can update only with ..XWLSD other ROM.

Is not true?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Maybe you missunderstood something.

If this would be true, there would be a lot of S2 users sitting/sticking on XWLSD. And this is not the case.

You only have to download the firmware you want to have and flash it with Odin on your phone.

VirusTotal says its got Malware

I'd really love to use this but three virus engines on VirusTotal says it has malware. Anyone help me out understanding this?

The scan result is at

https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/...06edf06c7183360cb8b1f10a220f7aaa03a/analysis/

The file I was hoping to use is

PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSW-XEU-5.06.1-signed.zip

(SHA1= f077bf5c1108960f1f3aab003b4b9052dece3f6f )

I got the file from the link on post #3

http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16062#files

And then I (eventually) found the file in the v5.06.1 folder

http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=17703#files

Any help really appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
The files seem to be fine.

Maybe it's a false positive or just an advertisment app which is in the stock XWLSW kernel, on which PhilZ-kernel is based on.

Try another virus scanner and compare the results.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] give:
Thanks for the reply.

What makes you say that?

That what I'm hoping :fingers-crossed: 51 other (some very reputable) AV vendors on that VirusTotal scan didn't find anything.

No, I looked into it some more and it turns out the problem file is Superuser.apk which is located in

PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSW-XEU-5.06.1-signed/system/app/Superuser.apk

Here's a question, how do you know PhilZ (no disrespect, just a hypothetical question;) ) hasn't put some malware into this Kernel?

Or

How do you know someone else hasn't tampered with the file on the file hosting site and added malware?

And one last question

Is it possible to backup my existing un-rooted stock Recovery/Kernel so I can restore it later?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
It will steal all your banking information

I need money, sorry
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
You got your answer from the dev:

:D:good:

Superuser.apk is the opensouce file for granting root access to other (also non-system) apps.

So that's why your AV recognizes it as "malware". It "breaks" the security of the original firmware ... in a way.

But hey ... do you want to root your phone?! Or why do you consider to flash this kernel?

BTW, same with other "rooting" apps, such as Towelroot. The tr.apk file is also recognized as "malware" by several AV apps.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] give:
You might be on to something there.

Yes, but I don't want to install malware in the process.

That's interesting. That's the kind of thing I was looking for.

But the question remains unanswered:

How can you know that there wasn't malware put into it either by the dev or at the hosting site?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
He, he ... I don't know it. I'm just believing and trusting the dev ... to steal my money as he said [emoji6]

My AV said it's ok. So nothing harmful to expect.

Phil3759 also provided what he had done and how in his threads ... reproducible ... at least for other devs.

If you want to be sure, you have to create your own kernel.

Last question, is it possible to create a backup of my current stock kernel

[MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION]

What's about update for XWLSD firmware?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
It's hard to create a complete system backup on an unrooted phone.

Basically you can copy everything you "see" on the computer ... which is usually only the "user" space on your sd card ... not the system/root space.

If you just want to keep the stock kernel, it's part of the stock ROM. So you only need to download/save the stock ROM.

Check SamMobile.com if you find it there ... but you need to create an account and register to get file access.

In case of emergency you can flash back the stock ROM, or if rooted with Mobile Odin app from Chainfire you can also select parts of the stock ROM you want to flash ... such as the kernel only.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] give:
Yeah I had a feeling that might be so. Nevermind.

Thanks for all your help It_ler, I appreciate it. Thank you. :good:

As an aside (for anyone who cares) I found another Superuser.apk on F-droid and it doesn't trigger the VirusTotal malware detections that PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSW-XEU-5.06.1-signed/system/app/Superuser.apk does.

The F-Droid version is newer, but it does show that Superuser.apk shouldn't trigger the warning per se.

Question: I have RootBox in my i9100 and would like to install PhilZ Touch 6.41.6 (CWM 6.0.4.8), cause I want to have Recovery USB Mass Transfer. I've tested Recovery USB and it works perfectly with Touch 6.41.6.

Is this possible? or is there a Philz CWM version that allows Recovery USB transfer and works with RootBox?

I installed 6.41.6 but I cannot boot into RootBox. I have to reinstall RootBox and this overwrites 6.41.6 with 6.0.4.3 (IIRC).

Thank you.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Latest philz-kernel for XWLSD is here: http://d-h.st/qiH.

To flash CM11 you need a KK compatible recovery. For this you can flash Philz-kernel for CM: http://d-h.st/hUX.

But keep in mind that the CM kernel is not able to boot into your current system. You have to boot directly into recovery after flashing it ... and then flash CM rom zip file from there.

Sorry to be 'that guy' but I'm completely stuck.

I've got a friends I1900P with me, running 4.1.2, build XXLSS.

I've had a look and there's no specific file to flash to get this rooted (we're wanting an unlock which is only available from root enabled apps from what I can see) and I'm very, very scared of bricking this guys phone with the wrong file.

Could anyone point me in the direction of the correct file so I don't have to awkwardly explain why the phone won't work so it's best to be used as a paperweight please?

Thanks in advanced :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:

Black screen after restoring backup

Hi guys. I have a big problem :/

I tried installing 4.4.4 rom onto stock 4.1.2 on my s2 by following the steps from this post

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/deve...wm-clockworkmod-recovery-kit-kat-4-4-t2628412

The link was pointing to this topic, so he basically said to patch it over PhilZ's kernel.

So i installed PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSH-XSA-4.90.8-signed.zip, but than i also installed latest PhilZ's recovery on top of it. Everything worked

Did backup to sd card, fac reset and tried to see if the PhilZ's latest recovery could install the rom, but it said "Couldnt open the package (bad)"

Than i tried the CWM from the other post 6.0.4.7 and the error was the same :/

I restored the backup, but it boot looped, i read i shoud clean cashe/dalvik, so i did, and now it's a blank screen always. I can still enter the recovery

So can i somehow flash kitkat rom from this point, or should i look how to restore to stock rom??

Thank you very much for your time and help!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
You should flash a KK compatible kernel with CWM recovery and then directly flash the KK ROM zip file.

Try this PhilZ-kernel, as it is latest available for CM11 (which is also Android 4.4.x).

After flashing this kernel, boot directly into recovery and flash the KK ROM zip file.

If you still get an error, you may have to re-download the ROM zip file again ... maybe a bad download.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] slax81:
I will try that now. Thank you very much. So i should flash this file you sent link of : philz_touch_6.07.1-i9100.zip

So this not just a recovery it's a kernel also?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Yes, it's the recovery.img only.

But you only need this. You have to boot directly into recovery after flashing.

And flashing the KK ROM zip file will install its kernel (to boot into the system) automatically.

If it's a custom rom provided as zip file, you can flash this Philz-kernel for JB: http://d-h.st/mEg

As it's not able to boot into KK system, you have to boot directly into recovery after flashing ... and then flash the rom zip file.

Wiping data is strongly recommended. So backup everything important before flashing.

hi guys im currently in neatrom 6.4 rooted with philz kernel and now i want to repartition my internal storage using 4gb pit file and can you help me which version of philz kernel.tar should i use in pda before start flasing using odin???? Thankyou

--> and if i use philz kernel.tar will i still remain rooted or not after flasing in odin??? Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Hmm ... being on NeatROM v6.4 I assume that you are already on a custom kernel.

Please check by long pressing the power key, select restart > reboot into recovery.

If you have installed NeatROM with its default options, you should be already on latest PhilZ kernel for XWMS3 (v5.15.9).

If you need the kernel file separately, you can get it from here.

Keep in mind that flashing a pit file (= repartitioning) is always risky ... so be cautious, backup everything before and don't complain if you get in trouble afterwards.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kai_15:
ok sir thanks for your help... Yes i am in neatrom with pre installed philz kernel,,, but they said its safe to repartition the internal storage....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
I know that many users have already repartitioned their internal sd card without issues.

But it still is risky.

Please read the following guide carefully before flashing any pit file: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/mod-partition-internal-memory-app-t2538947

And if you are not sure about it, I recommend to ask in this thread ... and only start repartitioning when you are sure what you are doing.

It's your choice ... and your phone ;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Malhavoc Blackdrake:
I have a GS2 I9100XWLSW, suffering the EMMC brick bug. Still with original kernel, and recovery. Rooted with Framaroot.

I'd want to install Philz (since it seems to be the safer way due to the EMMC bug), and in a later flash either Omnirom or Cyanogen.

If I understood things correctly, I have to flash a Philz+Kernel package with a version up to v5.x, because later versions wouldn't run my Jelly Bean. However, once I want to install a KitKat Rom (or even a Lollipop one, once it becomes available), I think I understood I have need for a newer recovery. Should I then flash Philz v6.48.4 over Philz v5.x ? Do I need to flash a new kernel too then, or can I keep the old one? This way I shouldn't be able to run Jelly Bean anymore, and must install the KitKat/Lollipop ROM immediately, right?

If above is correct, of course the v5.x must have a kernel which matches my LSW, but once I put a newer recovery for a new ROM, do I still need to look for a LSW firmare?

Also, which install method should I prefer for the first Philz flashing? Update through the zip file using external memory, or flash through Odin? First one seems easier, but I heard that it may give problems installing certain Cyanogen versions from the Philz's temporary recovery.

I also noticed that some zip files are marked LSW-XEU, while others are LSW-OXX.. mine should be XEU I think.. does it matter anyway? Actually the complete details of my phone are:

PDA: I9100XWLSW
