What kernel to use?

The instructions are very clear but I don't know what is my kernel number.

My phone details: PDA: I9100XWLPW - Phone: I9100 XXLQ6 - CSC: I9100XSALP6 - stock Android (never touched) 4.0.4.

I want to root for now then I make a full backup and upgrade to stock Android 4.1.2, for now.

Thanks in advance.

I have read how to root etc. but get stuck at the first hurdle as I have no idea what kernel I need.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi,

What you are looking for is the kernel code in the rom build. On mine I can see it under "About device" at the end of build number - I9100XWLSH, it is the XWLSH part you are looking for. You can also see it if you download terminal emulator from the playstore. Just run the terminal and type getprop and press enter. Scroll up until you find [ro.build.PDA]: this is the rom. Again it is the last part of this you need. Hope this helps
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiara5:
Thankyou for that.

Mine says r.build.PDA 19100XWLSW so do I take it mine is XWLSW ?

Now need to find that. Thanks again. :)

If I'll go for a new version of 4.1.2 and pick between XWLSD, XWMS2, BULPG, JHLSB etc., which version of philz should I choose from the following list? .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm not sure I understand, but if you are talking about the stock rom, you should get the latest version for your region. If you want a rooted version of stock I would choose one that has a modified kernel available from the ones [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] developed. That is, the ones under the latest version in the main thread
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smantanasiceapa:
Yes, it was about going to stock 4.1.2 and than flaah smth to get root. But I was curious about the cwm6 kernels from [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] found on the mentioned list
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The listed files are not kernels, they are updated recoveries. To root your stock rom, you need to find the the kernel below the latest recoveries and match the rom to the kernel code as described in the main thread. You can then flash the latest recovery, then reboot into recovery if you want to for example flash a kitkat or lollipop rom. The older recovery embedded in the modified kernel won't be compatible with these later android versions

Unbrick..

Download Philz Kernel in .tar format and instal it over Odin 3.0.7 ie than whwn boot up, download on ur internal or better external sd card kernel and recovery(sometimes it is the same one file) and restart ur mob in recovery and instal that new/old recovery which u previosly got before boot loop or bricking... than reinstal ur system or if u have backup just restore it,. Important part is that u need same Recovery u did before U braked up Ur system... Ask 4 more ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crapping_Bricks:
Will I be okay?

Hey guys I'm looking to root and then install cyanogenmod on my s2 gt19100T running DVLSM. Will using the DVLSH firmware root patch work without any complications or issues with my device in the future? I have already looked on sammobile and have figured out that the DVLSH and DVLSM builds have a 2 month difference between them.

Thanks guys!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If you want to just get root access, then I think you should be ok just to flash the philz kernel you mentioned, then reboot into recovery. From there you can flash a "kitkat compatible" recovery(and reboot to recovery once again) and flash the cm12 as normal after backing up, wipes etc. Without having your particular phone or firmware I couldn't give you a guarantee, but I'm pretty sure this will work.

If you want to root and stay on samsung firmware, you could find the kernel you mentioned(DVLSH) will boot up fine anyway, because some of the close firmwares are compatible, as it says in the philz thread. You could always flash the DVLSH firmware with odin first and then its virtually certain to work.

As to your question about working without complications, it will either work or it won't work(gaining root). Hope this helps
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crapping_Bricks:
How come Philz recovery won't work on KitKat? I thought all v.6 CWM based recoveries support KitKat and above?

Also is there somewhere specific that I can ask about knowing the compatibility between the DVLSH kernel with the DVLSM build? I'd like to know for sure from someone who has tried it. I'd rather not flash more than necessary and I'd also like to do a nandroid backup of my system the way it is now just in case I decide to come back to stock ROM using the backup. Will that cause any issues going from KitKat going back to Jellybean with a backup?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Any CWM version of 6.0.4.4 or higher is capable of flashing kitkat or higher. I'm not sure about the version of TWRP(maybe 2.7.1.0). Older versions are not capable.

Try asking in the Australian thread(I'm assuming - i9100T) HERE for more specific info on the 'T' variant.

Going from kitkat or even lollipop back to stock 4.1.2 won't be an issue. Personally I have a copy of the stock rom from sammobile.com if I ever need to go that way, but plenty of people use nandroid backups if that's what you want to do

This is from the philz thread. So I think if you use the DVLSH kernel to gain root, then flash a newer recovery to flash your cm rom, you'll be fine, but up to you
[Sprint LG G3] MBCO:
Little over 2 weeks with the G3 and I love the device with zero issues besides the very poor data signal strength. dBM rarely breaks into the 90's.

I pretty much get a poor signal all across Kansas City. Work, home and travel between 6 cities to and from signal strength is the same. I always have a working connection but the strength is just not there. My bars always show zero or the itty bitty one bar......but everything works, decently fast and operating.

My old S3 on Carbon and my wifes stock S3 always showed good strength, showed 10dBM less than my G3. Is this just how the G3's radio is setup? On PRL 51102, I may try changing the PRL to see if it helps.

Examples...

[Sprint LG G3] ankurcshah:
Something should be wrong with your phone. Go back to Lg and replace it. Cause, this phone is best by far i have ever used. I have used samsung Note 2 , 3 S4, s5, G2, G1,S2,S3. And this phone easily is on top for data
[Sprint LG G3] wosiek:
Given that you're in Sprint's backyard, I would think the signal strength, both 3G and LTE, would be quite strong across the KCMO region.

Out of curiosity.. Under Settings -> Wireless Networks (More) -> Network (Mobile Networks) -- What is Network Mode set to? Global? LTE/CDMA? If Global, change to LTE/CDMA and see if you see an improvement.

Also, for point of reference, my indoor signal strength at work shows -94 dBm on eHRPD (3G) connection. Fluctuates between 3 and 4 bars. Not sure how that dBm measurement would translate to LTE frequency bands, but I would think it should be similar.

Have you done a speed test to get an idea what kind of bandwidth your device is capable of even with what's perceived to be a weak signal?
[Sprint LG G3] MBCO:
One would think yes, being a KC resident home of Sprint I would get great service. In most cases I do.

It's been on LTE/CDMA and global. I haven't noticed if one is better than the other. Maybe a better handoff between 3G and Spark on Global. Update: Just got back from a local Sprint store and talked to a very knowledgeable Technician who has has first hand experience on all LG devices that their signal is like this across the board. Lower signal and dBM compared to HTC, Samsung or Motorola but still get great speeds.

I've done speed tests at the same time I noticed poor strength and actually surprised that despite the signal I get the same speeds as if I had better signal (lower dBM)

Screenshot_2014-10-28-13-22-27 by MBCo, on Flickr
[Sprint LG G3] Visionikz03:
I noticed low signal strength on the LTE frequency(the one showing in signal bars by default) from the beginning but it doesn't affect my speeds so I'm not complaining.
[Sprint LG G3] Jimmy50941:
Does band 41 show a different logo for spark? I have never had spark, but s3 didn't have have tri-band, so it's possible you are on b41, and it has decent enough strength, so it just stays with b41. I Can keep b25 LTE down to around -117 db. You can check which band you are on with ##3282# and click lte, then view.
[Sprint LG G3] MBCO:
Currently enabled bands are 26 and 41

Band priority

1=25

2=26

3=41

So I have a S3 and I am totally not sure if its the original I9300 or SHW M440S... I have flashed stock I9300 4.3 firmware and the result was a laggy firmware and my phone kept rebooting. I wasnt the first to own this phone, my uncle did and he said he just flashed the old i9300 4.3 firmware and the problem has occured which is a broken camera (cant connect to camera), not working speakers and headphone jack and mic...

Normally I would just get it fixed but.. Because of the broken cam, speakers and mic, my youtube or any online streaming videos does not load and mp3 musics dont play as the player apps force close when i press play...

Again, a broken hardware does not affect the software so I am not sure if it is really the hardware or I just flashed the wrong firmware on the wrong phone.

Has anyone ever tried to flash a I9300 4.3 official firmware on a S3 SHW M440S?
