Hey guys,
I have a question about flashing an insecure kernel to root my phone. Its from Australia on virgin:
PDA: I9100XWKEB
Phone: I9100XXKE6
CSC: I9100XSAKE3
I want to keep my current rom to do a backup after rooting, so does it matter which insecure kernel I choose KE7, KE2 etc? As I cant see one which is XWKEB. I dont want to change to another firmware before rooting as I cant find my current one to download in case I have to return the phone under warranty.
Cheers
Which insecure kernel to use for root with S2 Root
I'm brand new to Android, so please be gentle (I am very experienced with jailbreaking IPhones, but that don't help here!). I've searched the forums but still have no clue as to the answer to this question.
Like the previous poster, I would also like to know which insecure kernel to use for my newly-purchased S2. My details are :
Baseband version : I9100TDUKF2
Kernel version :2.6.35.7-I9100TDUKF2
Build number : GINGERBREAD.DUKF2
Look forward to hearing from someone. And thanks in advance.

Is there a way where i can reset the whole phone and get back my stock rom? I dont mind losing my apps and all
Why can you not download the stock rom ????Or at least update to the initial rom via Kies .
If you factory reset your phone it reverts to the last installed firmware .Not the firmware the phone came with .

Look at the links at the start of the thread
Download a stock rom
Flash with odin
Factory reset will wipe data, it wont put the rom back onto a stock rom.

If phone is rooted you will see an application called Superuser .
If you want to root a non rooted phone you use the root link posted .
If you want to install a stock rom you use the link posted and look for a XEU or CPW rom in that post for UK use .
Generic XEU (UK)
Generic DBT (German)
CPW UK

Hi there, hope I could have a moment of your time.
I am hoping to upgrade from 3 UK 2.3.3 to Samsung Stock 2.3.4, here is my current information:
PDA: I9100 XWKF4
Phone: I9100 NEKF2
CSC: I9100 H3GKF1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF4-CL280512 [email protected] #2
Network Information: Pay Monthly 3 UK, but Unlocked
Is it possible to do this and still have a fully functioning phone, and if so which, PDA, Phone and CSC files do I require?
P.S. I have both ODIN and Kies installed and phone is currently rooted. I have attached two images with all relevant information to this message.
If your phones rooted, just grab a CWM flashable zip, boot into recovery and flash from there.

sorry but what does this mean? Can I not just flash a firmware using odin?
Everything you need to know is here
Go for KG6 or KH3 as they are the newer 2.3.4 roms and known to work/be good.
You may have to manually enter your APN settings, from here

Thanks you, that's just what I was looking for
I have been researching the net on this and the posts in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278.
I haven't been able to post in there as I am a new user, but if someone can help me with this, it would be great.
I'm trying to upgrade my firmware to XXKH3 - Android 2.3.4.
My current version is:
PDA: I91000XWKE7
PHONE: I9100XXKE4
CSC: I9100OPSKE4
My Galaxy S II is rooted and it's on the OPTUS network in Australia.
My question is, how should I go about it?
Do I download the XXKH3 Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/C4DRUIJTLL and place that in PDA and PHONE in Odin?
And for CSC do I get this: Optus OPSKG1 CSC: http://www.multiupload.com/EPWZTIMS1F and place it in CSC?
I want to be able to use the OPTUS network on XXKH3, but without OPTUS bloatware. I'm just not sure which files to get so I can be with OPTUS on an Australian firmware if that makes any sense.
My last question is, would this then wipe my data? Or not?
I appreciate any help on this.

you are referring to the right thread. clear instructions are given on that thread.
choose the PDA option.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.
You don't have to change the kernel or root or unroot to flash a new stock firmware.
You can then flash the kernel of your choice.
If you want the CF-root KH3 kernel. refer this thread
If you want to flash stock KH3 kernel you can also do that.
as far as operator bloatware is concerned search for operator specific bloatware removal scripts which can be executed using Gscript app . or a simpler option would be to freeze or uninstall the bloatware apps using Titanium back up Pro.
Thank you for the fast reply.
So pretty much all I need to do is put the XXKH3 Stock Kernel in the PDA option and that's it. So the OPTUS network will not be affected correct?
Then root it and I'm done?
Thanks again!

Excellent. Thanks.
I guess my last question is, by doing this, putting the XXKH3 in the PDA option, will this wipe my data?
Should I back up?
Back up apps with Titanium Pro

Alright will do. Thanks for all your help guys!
let me know how you get on,am severely tempted to flash new firmware just for a change!
Hm. I just put XXKH3 Stock Kernel in PDA and flashed it but my phone still says Android 2.3.3. I used the CF-root KH3 kernel as well to root it again.
What do I need to do to get it to Android 2.3.4? Do I have to place it in PHONE as well?
The ROM is 2.3.4, just about any ROM in original development is. What you are trying to flash is kernel. Best of luck.

Er, Kernel is kernel and firmware is firmware. Flashing the kernel won't update the firmware, just the kernel.
Alright I think I understand now.
Downloading the package, which should do it and I guess the stock kernel is used to root/rid yourself of the yellow triangle.

It went well, the phone is working great.
My data didn't get wiped.
Follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278.
Download the XXKH3 package.
I also used Titanium to backup my apps just in case and MyBackup Pro for contacts etc. but haven't needed to use it.
After you flash that (if you want to root the phone) go to this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 and get CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KH3-v4.1-CWM4.zip. Put that in PDA and flash it.
To get rid of the yellow triangle, follow this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14283369&postcount=2.
That's it. Thanks for all your help guys!
ok so lets say I chose new stock firmware to avoid the triangle,then later wanted to be official,could i plug my phone into kies and updatd to official 2.3.4 without problems?
i would like to try oranges firmware without rooting the device and voiding my warranty!

I need some help can some one please post a link for me to be able to install a stock rom using Odin.
The reason is I used Odin to install ICS on the phone but as it installed I lost root and cant get it back so I am hoping if I can use Odin to install a stock rom I can then root again and be a happy user again.
Many Thanks

If you've installed ICS in odin, you should know how to flash back to gingerbread.

You DO have an I9100, right? Not an I9100G?
Sounds like you have a bootloop after attempting flashing with the bottom two firmwares you have listed. Have you tried a full wipe/factory reset? (See here.)
GT-i9100
I just checked I have an GT-i9100 i do rember that when i ran those mods it does give me a chance to wipe cache so I will give that a go and see what happens thanks
