Have Telstra 9011T Kernel DVKF4. I want to root but the insecure kernel for that version is not available yet but I have been told to use a kernel as close as possible to my current one when I root. Anyone else rooted on Telstra and what kernel did you use?
bear in mind too once I root I only want to do backup and then Im going to install custom ROM anyway so the insecure kernel I use will get replaced so all I want is a kernel that will be sufficient for doing root and backup and then it will be replaced
Thanks
I don't no if you have seen this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166701

hi to everyone, im new her (well been checking for a while since i goy my first epic but i just decided to register) i have a question that i havent been able to find out, i just got a galaxy S2, and i want to root it, first to remove al unwanted apps (belive me in mexico, Telcel charges phones with a lot of useless ****) i already read how to root it, i know about the insecure kernel and all that stuff (i have a little previous experience with Epic 4G) but here is the thing
the version on mi cel is 2.3.4 and kernel UMKG4, from what i'd understand i must install an unsecure kernel (the same as the OEM one but unsecure version) so i can root it and then get CMV, super user, etc
so i havent been able to find this kernel version, what happens if i install another kernel version? and then if i want to flash back to OEM to remove the yellow triangle at boot, will it work with another kernel version even if its not the oem one?
i thank you in advance for clearing this doubts
A different kernel version should not cause any trouble as long it's not an "ancient" one (like KE2 or KE7).
Also see that it's a kernel that comes from/for a ROM with the same Android version - 2.3.4, in your case, so XXKG3 should work fine for you.
For XXKG3 there's root kernels, stock kernel and everything else you need floating around.
So recently, i have just flashed Overcome 2.3.1 on my P7500 which have their own kernel with root. When i flashed Pershoot's Kernel with CWM, i lost root access. Is there any way to get the root access back? If i'm wrong, can someone tell me how to? Because i'm a total noob.
Thanks
I didn't have that problem when I flashed that kernel on overcome. I have had the problem of my tab freezing on me. This kernel is approved for non ics rooms right?
You have to flash back to stock kernel and then start from first

Hello,
I rooted my phone easily because i found a CF-Root with the same version kernel. But my friends phone kernel dont match with any CF-Root kernel. His phones PDA version is XWKEB (not KE8 its KEB), its phone version XXKE6. I found CF-Root for only XW_XEU_KE2 / XW_XEU_KE7 / XW_ODD_KE8 versions. Which one can I use for root. He wants a backup before changing for custom ROM, doesnt want to force another ROM with Odin to root it!
Please help me!
Thanks in advance!

Just read the section titled "Help! Which file do I use ?" from the CF-Root thread carefully and you should find a matching kernel.
hi,
i have a new sg2 i9100 version witch came with 4.04 and no brick bug as reported the emmc.
i am searching for days and i am a bit confused .i am not familiar with that kind of softwares and i would like your help.
the goals: i want to root, and to be able to flash any rom i want.
1)if i understand so far i will need a kernel too?
2)i do not have the knowledge to understand what varius kernels offer and i simply choosed the siyah since it is the most popular(??) the s6 version states "This kernel is only for Samsung JB ROM (No ICS support anymore).
that means that my ics 4.04 will not be accesible and working anymore and i should flash a rom imidiately after the kernel flash?i do not mind to flash rom imediately after siyah kernel since i do not have anything instaled on the phone yet.
is it posible?with odin?1.86 , 3.04?
3)after the siyah kernel flash from the oficial siyah site , do i have root?
4)do i have cwm? if not what do i need to do?
5) is the siyah consider safe kernel?
thanks
i apreciate your help.

Frist root your phone, everything will be explained in the thread. Check FAQ
If you don't know what you are doing, don't flash siyah and stay with the kernel that gets installed when flashing the rom you want.
Flash a custom kernel with Odin. Another Siyah kernel than v6 will do, just check the changelog.
You will have root, CWM and you're able to flash custom roms. You can choose to try other kernels than the one that comes with a rom, but it's not a must.
And the person above is right: If you don't fully understand all this, try to learn a little bit more. It will prevent you from doing something wrong.
Good luck.

Hi all
So unless CF-Root comes out for 5.1.1 (which i doubt if Chainfire is willing to do it or if it can be done), there won't be any rom with stock kernel which will be rooted from the beginning, right?
Thanks
this will never happen again..also if cf root comes again..Samsung changed the security and the changed things in the kernel is the only way for normal root..
