Hi,
I watched the noob video when registering, heard that you should ask in the thread relating to your issue, well i wasn't allowed as a noob to post in that thread because i had below 10 posts, which makes the video telling me to do that stupid.
Anyway, i wanted to root my Samsung Galaxy S2 ( this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 )
But i don't understand which kernel to download for my phone cause non of them match my kernel when i look in my phone.
This is the kernel my phone has : [email protected] #2
Which kernel root package do i need to download? Is this KE2, KE7, KE8 or KF1??
I have no idea, i'm very confused.
(Reason i want to root is to mount smb shares with cifsmanager, and only that.)
I'm realizing my version is XWKDG which no one else on the entire internet has, this is probably because i turned in my phone for repair just after 2 days after recieving it due to some technical errors, i'm guessing they gave me some firmware no one else has?
Can i just use the KE2 and root with that or the XWKDD? Honestly, try google XWKDG and you'll find nothing. Everyone who is aksing about it is me, it feels lonely.
Check your link again, there is a Kernel that matches your slightly, the: XWKDG1
Hi, Im noob and I have similar problem.
I have bought 8 days old, second hand galaxy s 2 that is rooted and I want to unroot it. Problem is I dont know which cf root to use (there are 3 diferent codes XXKE7, XWKDD, XWKF3). And also which is the stock/original ROM???
Here is the info
Baseband: I9100XXKE7
Kernel ver: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] 103 #2
Build num:Gingerbread.XWKF3
Thanx
u should look I9100 in ur kernel ver so urs is XWKDD
Thank you, thank you, thank you...
I am still trying to find the thank you button...
Can someone explain more about kernel? What will happen if I flash a Rom with different Kernel than the one on my phone?
Also Can i flash a different kernel, or i should only look for ROMS that have my kernel only.
I have been looking for weeks over the forum but i couldn't find a helpful explainaition for Kernels.
Thank you. i know there are many experts on this forum that can help us.
I need a hand as well please. I am new to all of this but I have read quite a bit so far on rooting my GS2. The issue I am having is that my when I go to
settings > about phone > kernel version it only reads 2.6.35.7 There is nothing after that to denote which CF-root I need to be using. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Model Number : SAMSUNG-SGH_I777
Andriod Version : 2.3.6
Baseband Version : I777UCKK6
Kernel Version : 2.6.35.7
Build Number : GINGERBREAD.UCKK6

Meatness: I had the same issue. If you install "cpu spy" (find it on the Market), it gives you more information about your CPU, including the full kernel information.
Hope that helps!

Hi All,
YES I did do a search (actually several searches)
and YES I did do a bit of reading before deciding to post this.
Things I'd like to accomplish by rooting:
1.) Get rid of T-Mobile junk (and there's a LOT of it!)
2.) Install Arabic support (haven't figured out how to do that yet)
3.) MAYBE overclock (haven't figured out how to do that yet)
I would like to root this T-Mobile (U.S) version of the SG2. However, none of the posts seem to match the kernel number, firmware, or even model number as listed on the phone (see below)!
In order to avoid bricking the phone, I wanted to see if someone has managed to do this, and if s/he can direct me to the correct method/post to do this.
Here's what "About Phone" lists:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Model Number: SGH-T989
Android version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: T989UVKID
Kernel version: 2.6.35.11 (no letters after the number!)
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UVKID
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can someone please help idetify which recovery, kernel, and (if applicable) ROM I should be using?
Thanx

Hi there (topic should say GT-i9100G)
Been searching for days to find a way to root my GT-i9100G model. I found plenty for previous builds of my kernel but nothing for this current one.
So I'm at the end of my wits and for the first time in years I'm turning to creating a thread on a forum, getting ready for the flame.
kernel: 2.6.35.7 DELL165 dpi @ # 2
Android version: 2.3.6
Build number is: GINGERBREAD.XXLA1
Baseband version: I9100GXXKL4
I had a i900 from work but after it broke my work phone was replaced with this model and I'm sick of not being able to run ICS on it.
Anyways, wanna get CWM on it, but I'm very green at the whole custom ROM scene, only thing I ever rooted was my 10.1 tab with Odin to flash AOKP's builds :\
Anyways, if anyone has any tip, don't be shy.

You DID mean GT-i9100G, right?
Need to know more, anyways. Build number?
Use super one click
Yes of course, silly me, GT-i9100G is my phone.
Build number is: GINGERBREAD.XXLA1
Baseband version: I9100GXXKL4
I've read others talk about super one click, the reports were very mixed and I think this build will not work, or am I wrong?

I believe SuperOneClick requires an insecure kernel to be flashed to your phone first before using it, right? You just have to make sure the insecure kernel is for the I9100G, and not the I9100. And if you cannot find an exact match for your kernel version for an insecure kernel, you will need a copy of your secure kernel to flash back when you're done rooting.
I'm afraid I don't know where to get these things for an I9100G, however, so you're on your own to look for them. (unless someone who knows this information sees this post and is kind enough to post it to you)
EDIT to add: that said, I've heard of a few custom kernels for the I9100G that, when flashed, will root your phone for you. I don't remember what they are though, you'll have to search for them.
EDIT 2: Found one (superatmos) that has a version compatible with your build.

You'd probably be slaughtered alive for posting this question. This is xda, mate. Search, read and try before posting questions. And even if you do have to post a question, find the correct thread for doing so.
Since you asked, look through this thread for all your rooting requirements. Me and probably a million others like you have read that and then managed to root their phones following the steps mentioned there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Dont forget to thank the contributor.
Yours being 4.0.4 theres a problem with an EMMC bug bricking the phone. again, read the forums thoroughly before going ahead.
Just flash a pre-rooted kernel.
I guess there is a thread discussing about rooting.

***** PLEASE read this important information*****
-You are running stock 4.0.4 ROM which it's known to have brick bug on it's kernel.
-after rooting, DO NOT factory reset/data or restore any backup without changing your kernel to custom one. Siyah, Dorimanx, Dream, and Speedmod kernels are known to be safe.
-You must change your kernel after rooting. It's better to be safe than sorry

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
I have the same setup as you so I think you can look into my thread which i started yesterday and Jokesy took the time and answered all my questions there including linking to a guide (thank you Jokesy, fantastic). I did not use Odin, but i used CWM Recovery Touch.
After following Jokesy link i rooted my phone, i installed the latest siyah S2 kernel (no beta), i also installed Titanium backup and purchased the PRO key. After that i followed an external link of services and programs that i could safely freeze/delete.
It shall be said that i have been using SGS2 since last spring/summer and this was my first time modifying anything with the phone.
Here is my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841641
Frank
For simplest root just use method 1 from 1st guide in my signature. No CF-Root, no CWM needed. Just copy one file to external SD card and update from stock recovery.
- Thanks for the contributions... - there's a lot to take in -
- This 'Bricking Bug' is something of a concern... - so I'll be doing some more reading before I choose whether to proceed with rooting my SGS2 -
- Hopefully things will be simpler with the Nexus 7... -
- Understanding the various versions, terminology & methods etc. is giving me something of a head-ache today -
- But thanks again... -

different basband?
Hello devs,
I ran into a problem few hours ago and I am trying to work my way around and through it. I honestly did, I have already lost patience and feel like quitting life itself. I wiped my phone, installed a different BOOTLOADER, different MODEM, different CODE and different CSC. I did all this to install a new ROM, I didn't like the changes so I went for my backup and restored it. Everything was successful, except that the Baseband version hasn't changed at all.
What is a baseband? Does it matter if I installed a different one (it is supposed to be XXLPS-I9100)?
Thanks
Baseband and modem are pretty much the same thing mate. You don't need to have a particular one. If you find your signal isn't as good as it should/used to be, you can change your baseband at a later stage. It doesn't matter if you stick to the one you have. It won't spring up at night and chop your phone into two bits

Hi Im new to this forum but I hope people will still help me
Well, like the title says, i got a korean galaxy s II rooted with tegrak kernel. I rooted by flashing siyah kernel first, but because the phone did not boot, i flashed tegrak kernel after that. Now, i havent really seen any confirmation for custom roms to work on the tegrak kernel and i dont want to risk to brick my phone... so..does anyone actually know if its possible and if yes, does the person also know HOW to do it? I searched for it in the internet but i didnt find anything..(i should mention that im not too good at korean..so i couldnt search for it on korean :0)

Hello,
I have a S2 that don't accept the official firmwares, it's a i9100. I have had the same problem with a GN N7000 that I solved by installing a Rom Custom (but i have battery issues...)
Could you help me by chosing a Kernel, there is so much I don't know which to choose.
For exemple, I would like to install a CyanogenMod 10.2 (JB4.3), shall I use this CWM : GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.7.tar ?
or this KernelSafe : CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip ?
My phone :
Anroid version 2.3.3
Baseband version I9100XXKDJ
Kernel : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDF-CL170898
