got my phone a few months ago, rooted it and all went fine fine.. Then something inside the phone broke down so no 3g connection at all.. Send it to be repaired and now i got it back with a new wierd kernel version.. Cant seem to find anywhere to root this kernel.. Any help would be appreciatet since i cant use half my programs at the moment..
Kernel name is the one in the title:
2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDG-CL174368 [email protected] #2
Ive read another post with someone who got the same problem and was told there should be a XWKDG kernel in chainfires post.. nothing shows if i search the thread.. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 )
plz help.. -Wyxx
KDG is old firmware there seems to no CWM and root might find one near on the defunct root thread .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056334
Personally i would upgrade firmware to a later one then root .

Chainfires notes below .
The XX and OXA identifiers are not that important. Usually a "KG1" kernel is a "KG1" kernel, and that is that. Sometimes (pretty rare) it happens there will be multiple different kernels with the same name in different firmwares, that are actually different. If this happens, they are usually only very minor changes and you should expect them to still be fully compatible. I include the "XX" and "OXA" identifiers so the very advanced users can deduce from which full firmware I have taken the kernel file.
Don't worry too much, just find the matching download and use it. What if there is no matching download ? You can ask me to make one, but I can tell you right now, I very very rarely make CF-Root's for kernels on request, unless it is the very latest kernel that has been released by Samsung. In the latter case, be sure to let me know. If there's no match and I'm not making one, try finding the closest match. You should treat "KG1" as a number, but instead of 1-9, we have 1-9, A-Z (where A would be 10, and Z would be 35). "KG2" is really close to "KG1", "KF1" is not close to "KG1" at all. I hope that makes sense.
thanks mate.. was able to update it to a stock KF4 .. so now rooting should be a walk in the park..
so more or less problem solved at the moment.

Hi everybody, tried to search the answer, but nothing pops out.
I'm now on CF-kernel KE7 and I want to try VillainRom 2.0 and pulsar_g2 suggest this: "When using this ROM, I suggest the XWKG1 CF-Root kernel, from post 4 of Chainfire's thread." - so that's clear.
But on the thread on the CF root, they are saying to stick as close as possible to your kernel version on the phone.
"Listen closely, for I will say zis only once!
Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. Note the string present there:
2.6.35.7-I9100XXKG1-CL349526
What matters most (KG1) in this case, is in bold. Try to find the matching file under downloads:
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG1-v4.1-CWM4.zip

So the question is: can I go directly from CF-KE7 (CWM not present!) to XWKG1-CWM4.1-CF-Root? or do I go this way? CF-KE7 > CF-KE7-CWM4.0 kernel > CF-KG1- CWM4.1 kernel?
The goal is to get the CF-XWKG1 kernel flashed on the phone.
And then follow up the How to from VillainRom 2.0 again?
Hope that someone can clear this up for me, thx in advance!
You need KG1 kernel for 2.3.4 rom .
Choice flash as per instructions for VR 2.0 or upgrade existing stock firmware to 2.3.4 leaked test release KG1 .
Or just wait for Samsung to release 2.3.4 then upgrade .

Hey guys I got some questions
1st, I bought my gs2 from kuwait but i live in egypt, i did something i read somewhere to change location from xgs to egy.Should I switch to xgs again or is it okay?
2nd, My pda is:JPKF3, phone is:XXKF1, CSC is:OJPKF2.Is this a good software or JPKG5 is better? Iam not sure what's the difference, from what i read on here JPKG5 had an earlier version while mine is just 1 but mine says 2.3.3 and JPKG5 says it too so iam confused:S
3rd,my discharge rate when iam idle now is like 10% an hour or something but when i first had it, it was 100% before i go sleep, 9hours later it's 98%:S
is it cuz i have alot of apps or what?cuz i downloaded most of gameloft hd games and alot others from market.
oh and i searched forums and google couldn't find answers, maybe i didn't search well enough but I don't know what to write exacly,sorry!

Well rooting looks confusing, iam going to wait till 2.3.4 is available if JPKG version is available then rooting itis
Thanks, hopefully any 1 with some feedback on the other questions.

It is easy to do - even I can do it.
Yes it does look confusing, but that is just because the author took time to write out ever step so idiots like me could do it without problems.
Well flashing firmware looks easy but iam confused about rooting, i just want stock kernals.In the official guide that intratech made,he wrote that u can use either ChainFire's or Odia's insecure kernels but can't i just root the stock 1 right away?
The instructions I used were * HERE *
I used ODIN 1.85 - * HERE * - which I suppose would have made little or no difference.
The insecure kernels I got from * HERE * - again, which I suppose would have made little or no difference.

Ok sorry for trouble,but i think i didn't understand lol.
just reread intratech post, i missed something
Nice Now i have JPKG5
Hey XDA-people,
Im sorry to say this, but I am a really low noob.
I want to make my first root with my samsung galaxy s2, because I am german, i follow the german instructions, but i have a problem. I dont want to do any mistakes so its better I ask you instead of destroying my phone. Bevore you be angry, i searched for my problem but couldnt find any answers.
the problem:
I have android 2.3.5
my basicbandversion is : I9100BOKJ1
but my Kernel-version is: 2.6.35.7-I9100BOKK1-CL511356 [email protected] #2
my buildnumber is: GINGERBREAD.BOKK1
Im not sure if I can use any CF-kernel-root file ( my problem is the android version )
I found some explanations that there is no cf-kernel root file for KK1, and especially not for android 2.3.5
If there are some files, please sent me the links.
If not would I thank you a lot, if you could write some alternatives, if possible without risks. I really want to avoid any errors.
Thank you ,
robhood

I´m not shure if i have understood you, do you mean I can use a KG1 file instead of KK1?
i just need this cf-kernel file which works with android 2.3.5 and KK1
thank you for answers
No.
That section says to use the closest match if there's no exact match. Now, you're currently running KK1, right ? And there is no KK1 CFRoot kernel.
Sooo...Using the closest match to what you currently have, look at the list of kernels in the CFRoot thread & tell me which one you think you should use.

As you are on 2.3.5 firmware you can still use the very easy way (no flash, no Odin, no triangle, no counter): DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit (zergRush exploit):

No as from the name it sounds like Samsung Galaxy Note since all the ones on CF- Thread start in CF-Root-SGSII

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and rooting in general and I've been having a bit of trouble. I've read a ton of tutorials on how to root Galaxy S2's but I'm still struggling to get my head around it all so I was wondering if I gave people the appropriate details if you could point me in a direction of a easy to follow tutorial that will work with my phone.
Model: GT-I9100
Version: 2.3.5
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100BOKK1-CL511356 [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.BOKK1
Also I installed KIES yesterday and ran it today but it says it doesn't recognise my device so that's a bit puzzling.
Thanks in advance.
KK1 is the only one GB version for which neither CF-root nor insecure kernel available for rooting, better you flash another GB ROM from stock ROM link of my signature search for XWLA2,
and find CF-root link for find matching CF-root to Root
Before you do anything, check the sticker under your battery on the chassis of the phone to ensure you have an I9100 or I9100T.
Once you've done that, CFRoot thread. Pay particular attention to the bit that says " Help ! Which file do I use ?"
Reconmended for noobs
you should use zergrush or GingerBreak so that you dont end up with a yellow triangle, its as easy as 1 click
press thx if i helped
Thanks for the help guys. Cabloomi will zergrush work on my phone because I was reading around and people were saying it wouldn't work anymore? Sorry if I have a lot of questions but I don't really want to F up my phone lol.
there are many ways for rooting, but most followed and success way is CF-root
after rooting with other method your second thread will be asking how to flash a CWM take the answer now itself : CF-root and avoid your second thread
Yeah it will work on anything under 2.3.5 and if it doesnt just use gingerbreak

You said this "KK1 is the only one GB version for which neither CF-root nor insecure kernel available for rooting, better you flash another GB ROM from stock ROM link of my signature search for XWLA2," earlier in the thread which I don't understand at all, could you explain more please? Does it mean I can't use CF-root because there isn't a way to do it for KK1 or what? Sorry I'm very new to this lol.
From the CFRoot thread "If there's no match...try finding the closest match." I did say read that section carefully.
CF-root is a stock kernel of the ROM in which root & CWM inserted , the devoloper (chainfire) made this for almost all the Samsung firmware kernel version available, we only need to pick matching one to our Kernel version.
But we dont know why the KK1 firmware is not leaked from samsung, it is not available in the sammobile.com also...
but you can follow the following word of the devoloper:
The XX and OXA identifiers are not that important. Usually a "KG1" kernel is a "KG1" kernel, and that is that. Sometimes (pretty rare) it happens there will be multiple different kernels with the same name in different firmwares, that are actually different. If this happens, they are usually only very minor changes and you should expect them to still be fully compatible. I include the "XX" and "OXA" identifiers so the very advanced users can deduce from which full firmware I have taken the kernel file.
"Don't worry too much, just find the matching download and use it. What if there is no matching download ?

I hope that makes sense."
following the above you can try with KK2
which is available in the thread, http://download.chainfire.eu/53/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KK2-v5.0-CWM5.zip
Thank you ever so much guys, I done it and it works perfectly now. I did all this just so I could tweak my phone a bit. You guys don't happen to know any tweaks and what not to make the phone faster/smoother/ etc?
Yep. Read. Research. There are no shortcuts.
FASTEST WAY TO DO ALL THOSE IS JUST TO INSTALL A CUSTOM ROM, I RECOMMEND MIUI, THE LINK IS AVAILABLE IN MY SIGNATURE AND HERE IS THE TUTORIAL VIDEO, DONT FORGET TO SAY THX
Hi guys.. I bought the GALAXY S2 today... Pls welcome me to ur community... Previously had Galaxy ACE sold it off and bought.. I know its too late that i bought this phone.. But still the most powerful phone till this moment.. ...
My simple doubts:
1. Is the Galaxy s2 has CWM or do we need to flash custom ROM thru ODIn?
2. How s the battery backup with normal usage??
Flash a custom kernel (CF-ROOT) via odin. After this you'll be able to flash roms via CWM. Battery life on stock GB is pretty good. ICS uses a bit more juice.
Thanks for the reply.. Can u post the link.. Bit busy exploring phone
Heres a link to the CF Root kernel thread. You need to match up CF Root to your current firmware. Example, if your stock kernel is KK5 you'll want the KK5 version of CF Root. It's all explained in the thread anyways.
