[Q] Help me understand S2 ROMs, Kernels, Modems, etc - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have just purchased SII (previously i had HTC Desire). With Desire it wasn't so difficult to understand all those ROMs and Radios. You choose a ROM and install, if there is a new Radio just download and install, simple as that. Now with S2 i can't seem to understand all these SCS codes, different kernels, roms, modem firmwares!!!
Could someone please explain why there are so many different kernels, roms, modems? What are the differences between them? Can you switch between them? Are there any implications and is it safe if you do so?
I have rooted my phone using CF-Root, now if i wanted to install another ROM/Kernel/Modem do i use CF CWM or do i need to have original CWM recovery?
Maybe not relevant but fyi my phone infos are:
PDA: I9100XWKF3
PHONE: I9100XXKE7
CSC: I9100XXKF1 (NEE)
Baseband: I9100XXKE7
Kernel: I9100XWKF3
Android 2.3.3
Thank you

► Many ROM's are there for different purposes. Visit the Original Dev section and see them one by one, you will get the idea.
► Different Kernel also same, for different purposes. One will support Overcloking, the other will support BLN, and some other with Voltage settings and etc.
► CF root is the simplest yet effective method of rooting IMO. It roots the device as well as keep the kernel close to Stock like.
► You can't change ROM's from within the phone, I don't think there is any Dual Booting stuff available atm, so you just have to flash then via Odin.
Regards.

Thanks but i might need to make myself more clear, i kinda know that ROMs are for different purposes but actually my question would be about Stock roms/kernels, why so many directly from Samsung?
Why can't i change the ROM from within the Phone? Isn't CWM the purpose for all those things?

1. That's Samsung. And they don't release changelogs.
2. Because you can't - no OTA updates for stock ROMs as of yet. Edit - misunderstood you I think - see 3..
3. Yes, CWM will do this for you.

Minor improvements or Samsung got fed up with winging about no updates and now its payback time .
Why can't i change the ROM from within the Phone? Isn't CWM the purpose for all those things?
You can if the rom has been written to do so most use CWM recovery a few use Odin .

[Q] ZSKF4/ZSKI3 Device Root?

Hey all,
I'm a beginner in this rooting society, moving over from jailbreak development on iOS. I am wondering how I would be able to root a Galaxy S2 with model/kernel number ZSKF4 running 2.3.3.
Not sure if this is the proper place to put this, but I've searched everywhere and no place is providing an insecure/original rom for rooting with this kernel number on the file name.
Can somebody help me?
Many thanks,
Nicholas
UPDATE: Anyone know how to root ZSKI2 running on 2.3.5?
Root + CWM .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Read the post in regard to versions /kernel matching first .
jje
Thank for your reply.
Many guides like the one you gave me, requires kernel matching first, but really, I'm entirely lost in this matching process. Can you give me some heads up on what to choose using my specs I list below?
My Galaxy S II:
Model Number: GT-I9100
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100XXKE4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100ZSKF4-CL280225
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.ZSKF4
If you can help me, I will be very grateful.
Thanks a lot!
Nicholas
Instructions in the post are .
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.
You want then a KF4 kernel from post 5 .
jje
This one from post 4 should do it: CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4.zip
You have a HK/Taiwan phone? If you install Kies you should be able to upgrade to the official ZSKG2. Although that is still 2.3.3 so not much difference there.
Yes, I have a HK/Taiwan phone,
Thanks guys,
So if I have ZSKF4 right now, I'll use "CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4.zip"?
If I upgraded to the latest ZSKG2, will there be any difference comparing to ZSKF4? because you said its the same 2.3.3.
Okay, well after looking at the instructions, I got a little freaked out of how long it actually is, and was pretty worried if I do this, I would get a triangle at boot because I'm using Custom Kernel? Also I heard that many people don't want to use CF-Root because there's a higher risk of bricking comparing to SuperOneClick that I used to root my Galaxy Tab 7. So, I checked on something else.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Thats a one click rooting app for the S2, but what is this "Flashing an Insecure Kernel" and how do I get this kernel for either ZSKF4 or ZSKG2? I prefer the most easiest way so that I wouldn't run into a huge risk of bricking this device. Thanks for all the help on CF-Root above, but would you guys happen to know what exactly is going on in this link?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671
That contains all the insecure kernels for the S2 one click rooting application. Which one do I choose if I have ZSKF4 or ZSKG2?
Thank you everyone for helping me,
Nicholas
Rooting with CF-Root is very easy, just start up Odin, click the boxes like it says in the instructions, and it's done in less than a minute. You can use the other method, but if I were you I would just go with CF-Root because 1) so many people have done it and 2) at least you know one person (me) who did it on their HK/Taiwan phone and came out fine (and I was a complete root noob at the time).
I think whether you upgrade to ZSKG2 first depends on why you want to root. If you are rooting so that you can install a custom ROM, then no need to upgrade to ZSKG2. Just root your phone and install the new ROM and you're good to go.
But if you want to keep the Samsung firmware and only rooting so that you can run certain apps or do certain mods, then upgrade to ZSKG2 through Kies first, then root. There is nothing really bad about the Samsung firmware. I run Cognition 1.5.1 + SpeedMod, but it's mostly just for the fun of it. I don't do anything on it that I couldn't do with rooted 2.3.3 Samsung firmware.
And yes, you do get the bright yellow triangle at startup. There are ways to remove it, but I haven't tried. I like the triangle, it's like a little badge of honor for power users.
Yeah, I'm only rooting for just certain apps that require root/superuser requirements. Other than that, I won't put a load of mods on.
So, if I go to Kies, upgrade to ZSKG2, then I begin rooting, would I be using:
CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip
But the thing that scares me is that it says "ZS_OZS_KG2: Untested", does that mean it would be risky to do it?
Hey just noticed in the General forum that the official ZSKI2 is out - and its version 2.3.5 to boot. Check it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281717
Yeah the "untested" means the author did not try it personally (can't really expect him to test every kernel from every region). I used it and it worked fine -- that's all I can really say.
Oh wow, that looks pretty cool....
I'm sure I can update to that, which I will, but, does this mean I have to wait for another rooting procedure?
I have a crazy "OCD" that I have to always stay up to date haha. So yeah, if I do this, logically if the CF-Root is able to root it, I will have to wait for a person to make the ZSKI2 kernel insecure version?
Actually, okay, when I upgrade to ZSKI2 kernel, which "CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip" do I use? I don't see a ZSKI2 kernel anywhere...and I'm assuming I can still use CF Root to root at 2.3.5?
You can use a version that is close -- in this case I think XX_OXA_KI3 is the best match. It will probably work with the ZSKI3 firmware -- but I have not tried. (Sorry I mistyped the name in my earlier post, it is ZSKI3 and not ZSKI2.) If you want to be safe then yes you will need to wait until there is a rooted ZSKI3 kernel that you can use.
If you plan to install a custom ROM, then it does not matter what kernel you use for root, since the custom ROM will generally come with its own rooted kernel and it will replace whatever you had before.
For some reason, Kies isn't letting me update.
It says: "This version of this device cannot be updated"
Do you know why this is happening?
By the way, I noticed when I plug in my phone to Kies, I see under CSC, in brackets are (KOR). What does this mean and does it affect any rooting?
UPDATE: I know what KOR means, it means it's a Korean region based device. Is there any difference to what I may be able to update to in Kies or any rooting differences?

[Q] Confused new owner of Samsung Galaxy SII

Well,
I have just got my new samsung galaxy S-II white. For a start i know what is rooting and why it should be done to unlock the potential of the phone. Have read quite some threads in various forums over here, just to get more confused .
I am mainly tangled in the variety of ways and numerous methods of doing the same thing, or apparently the same thing with different objective and consequences.
Hence I need help to clear up the confusion with a simplified path to explore the device:
1. ROM, Kernel, Firmware..........are these different names for the same thing, or are they different. If they are different, at which level does rooting work, do I need to update all of them or some or one to get the rooted phone.
2. What are the different versions of ROM , Kernel and Firmware available and which ones are recommended. Is Gingerbread 2.3.4 a ROM or a firmware.
3. I have read a lot about custom cooked ROMs. For a newbie like me is there any recommendation. I am thinking about getting on to Cyanogen Mod, is it a ROM or a kernel or a firmware and is it the best all rounder in battery/performance/features ratio. If not then any other recommendations.
5. Insecure Kernel....?, is it a mandatory requirement for rooting, or rooting can be done without it. How do I find the one which is compatible with my phone version / region.
6. CF-Root, SuperOneClick, ROOT APP ????? which one is the safest with easier possibility of recovery (if anything goes bad) and most recommended.
7. Nandroid, ClockworkMod, Odin ???????????? what are these used for. Is it mandatory to use them before rooting to make phone backup images. Which one is the easiest and safest to use in case of a recovery situation.
8. Can I or do I update the original Samsung OTA firmware updates, once I have rooted the phone or if i have flashed with custom ROM/firmware/kernel like Cyanogen Mod.
Thats it for now. My Phone details are as follows (Settings -> About Phone):
Android Version:
2.3.4
BaseBand Version:
I9100XXKI1
Kernel Version:
2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468 [email protected] 143#2
Build Number:
GINGERBREAD.XWKI4
Would be really thankful if anyone can guide me and lot others like me to a more clear path to making our way through the world of Android and SGS-II.
Best Regards,
Cheers.
Lets see if I can answer all of your questions...
1. ROM is the software of the phone and kernel is the core of that software. As you might think, rooting ocurs in the core, so it affects the kernel.
2. ROMs you have a lot in this forum, as well as different kernels. Recomended are several (CM7, MIUI or Hypedroid for example).
3. CyanogenMod is a ROM, but cooking ROMs is more a term of changing the visual (icons, battery stats, animations, etc) more than building a ROM itself. You can build a ROM from it sources, but it's a totally different thing from cooking a ROM. If you want performance, you should seek a minimal ROM or some ROM that could let you easily add/delete components, to avoid having much load on the ROM and thus improving the phone. Also the kernel works a great deal in battery performance, you can see several discussion threads in the forum about them.
5. I think any rooted kernel is considered an insecure kernel, but I might be wrong on this one...
6. I would say CF-Root, its not complicated to follow and the result is the desired.
7. ClockworkMod is a custom recovery used to backup the phone (nandroid), flash ROMs and many other things. Odin is a PC flashing software used to flash directly to the phone. For a recovery you should use CWM.
8. If you update a stock ROM (or OTA update) into a rooted kernel, the kernel will be overwriten and you will loose root. You can follow the same steps to achieve root from there.

[Q] Absolute Android n00b Question

Hey guys - 2nd post here so please don't flame me!
I've had a read at the wiki's and stuff and some of it kinda seems daunting.
I've just rooted my phone as I was keen on getting the Orange signal boost app working on an unbranded Galaxy S2. Everything went surprisingly well ...not a bricked phone in sight and the app is working!
I have been planning on rooting for a while but now that I have done so, what can I actually do with my rooted handset that I wasnt able to do before, except getting access to the root of my handset?
I apologise in advance as i knw it's a total n00b question - it's my first android handset so i'm keen to get stuck in!

Umm you get tons of features including: flashing custom roms using app called rom manager, which can make your phones preformance better. You also get free wireless hotspot. You can put any carriers sim card in and will still work. You have total access to your device. And you can get apps supported for rooted devices. Hope you find something usefull out of this. Any questions ask me. Thanks

- CWM (Best way to flash ROM's, and make backups)
- Adfree hosts file
- Overclock
- Flash Custom ROM's suck as MIUI or CM7/9
- Sim unlock
- Remove bloatware (from Samsung / Carrier)
- change system files
thanks for the replies. Am i right in thinking that custom themes and custom rom's are the same thing? :S
Custom themes and customs roms aren't the same thing. Themes are high-level changes that don't really do much to the system itself (changing how it looks pretty much) whereas roms usually have many low-level changes and features.
Custom ROMS, themes, apps, overclocking, so on and so forth.
In other words, you get to have an actual bad ass phone without junk and crap that slows the phone down and reduces it's actual performance.

Basically, themes change the UI (and how everything looks), while roms change the entire system.

[Q] cyanogen wanted on SII - or recommend alternative.

Hello everyone.
I am the noob in the video when you create a new account. And I do want to apologize for burdening you with my problems, and also let you know that i appreciate a lot your help. I am still in shock how much info this forum has.
Now to get started and keep it short.
Got a galaxy S2 from 3 UK
with the help of a friend i changed the stock software ( the rom i think) and unlocked it. but i always wondered if the new OS release is better than what i have now.
so, here are the stats i know how to give ( if more are needed, please call me a noob and tell me where to get them )
Model : T-I9100
Android v: 2.3.4
Baseband: I9100XXKH3
Kernel V : 2.6.35.7 -I9100XXKH3-CL479037
Build No : GINGERBREAD.XXKH3
Also I need to tell you that from what i gather from my friend he used this website to get the tools and instructions to do everything.
The phone is rooted (if I didn't say that already). I have:
CWM Manager v2.0
Current Kernel: CF-Root 4.1
Superuser app - not sure if i should write something more
and the rest of the apps are not related.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I would like to achieve (on top of learning more - been reading them tutorials and slang and how to's)
It will take me a while to learn how to do stuff on my own, been using the search button, I know how you guys insist on that . A LOT of the tutorials are about how to go from stock, just wondering if from already rooted is any different. Should I root again, when is the rooting part coming, etc.
And also without practice or trying myself I would never learn, or it would take me a long time.
I very much like the cyanogenmod, although I would also like to see some alternatives. The differences and/or the improvements the other mods bring explained in laymen terms (or easier ones, although i don't think i'll find that).
And here I get confused. As for firmware, does cyanogenmod have a kernel or do i install that separately. Don't understand the connection between CF-ROOT, XXKH, Kernel and ROM. What I'm trying to say is that i can't make the connection between this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and the cyanogenmod. I am looking for a good Kernel/Rom combination. Any advice, I really need your help here.
And as a last note, brand new installed kies with troubleshooting and reinstalled drivers, won't read my phone, although i'm pretty sure i'll search the forum and solve this problem fast.
Also if possible, I would like only LINKS, to how to's and tutorials; although I would appreciate your help any way it comes, I'd like to read myslef, as it is a better way for me to retain information. If you can point me to a thread i can find info that i skipped over would be brilliant.
Thank you first for taking the time to read all this, even if you can't/don't want to help me, I appreciate you giving me time, something you can't take back, very grateful for that. Apologies for my broken English and awkward writing style.

Well that is due to you not reading the FAQS and GUIDES .
Kernel is the bit between OS and hardware .
Rom is the full firmware package of kernel modem and OS .
Kernels are in the DEV section .
Combo is up to you read look learn try are the XDA rules .
Whats best rom kernel posts are banned this is a developers forum you are required to do some work .

Understood. Will follow your advice.
Before installling ROM + Kernel + Radio. Advice sought
Right, so after a couple of days reading up on stuff, I have decided to go for it. So before I actually install something I want to post here what I've decided on and ask your opinion on it.
At the moment I have:
Android: 4.0.4
BaseBard: XXKH3
Kernel: 3.0.30 - NETCHIP -some more numbers and stuff
Build Number: IMM76I
Mod Version : HyDrOG3n - ICS -more numbers
--------------------------------------------------------
And I decided to install:
Radio: XXKE7-Rev_02 (as I read a lot of people were pleased with it, so i want to try it)
And here i have a question: I've downloaded 1 that has 4.7 MB, and a MD5 that has 12 MB. Any help to understand the difference would be appreciated.
ROM: Insanity II ICS 070 - from his official thread I also got the missing fonts and sound pack.
Kernel: Here is where I had most problems being a noob and all.
I was planning on getting Hellcat's Root Kernel v1.25. But here is where i get lost. And believe me i tried to read on it and understand it.
Kernel version must be compatible with ICS rom? That's how I understand it.
Kernel A - Only for GB
Kernel B - Only for ICS
(where A and B are different versions or something, can't figure this one out)
So at the end I would have: Radio XXKE7 + Insanity II ROM + Hellcat's Root Kernel.
Is this a viable combo? Any opinions.
I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE NO SUCH THING AS BEST ONES. I am only trying to find out if anyone tried this combo before and how did they like it.
PS: Although I don't understand Kernels yet, I take any kernel on this forum and then pick every technology they have and google it each one at a time. That's my method of understanding what stuff do. If you can recommend a better one, PLEASE PLEASE DO
PPS:I am really sorry for the long post and the wrong title, I changed my mind, this forum is mind numbing vast and exciting and complex, and I am just a little noob discovering the biggest candy in the phone department.
Thank you all for the time to read this, and thank you in advance for your help
EDIT: I would also like to try [ROM][XWLP9]★ Dynamic v1.4 ★[ICS][Slim][Performance & Battery life][25April] in case the Insanity II is not compatible. But if I'm honest I would like to try it anyway, when i fancy a change in the future.
If this :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182922&highlight=hellcats+kernel
is the kernel you are talking about, it will not work with the ICS rom. Checking the kernel thread, it does not show its for ICS, but just GB.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576355
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555259
Are good options for kernels, but there are more so check it out. You just have to make sure the kernel is compatible with AOSP. Speedmod kernel would have also been a good option, but that is for samsung roms only, not AOSP like Insanity II ICS.
Would you like us to stand beside you next time you take a leak & shake it for you when you're done ?
I.E. Experiment. Try stuff out. As long as you can read/follow instructions you shouldn't brick your phone. If you need to run what you're going to try by anyone on here you're probably in the wrong place.

I have people to do that already, they watch me take a leak and shake it. To make sure I don't shake more than three times. We all know that if you shake more than 3 times you're playing with it.
But what I asked is no different than when people release a new kernel/rom/etc, and 3-4-5-6 posts after that are questions on how it works.
I did not ask for the best combo or something like that. I asked if anyone tried that combo. Granted i screwed it up since I wasn't aware of the compatibility thing. I will check now the compatibility between roms and kernels, although sometimes for a noob like me its not that easy to tell with all the acronyms and versions and numbers. If my posts bothered you soo much, ignore it and you'll be a happy bugger

But that is failure to read the guides and understand and a fail to read the change logs for the different bits .
You would be far better off gaining basic understanding by just flashing a few custom roms rather than attempt to build your own version .Following the rom threads instructions for add ons different kernels etc.
Modem KE7 is very old for starters looks like you have read a few bits from varying places someone says thats good and are attempting to build a mixed up rom with non compatible parts ..

Stock:
The following ROMs include a Kernel and recovery with the Update 7 "Fixes" applied. If you have one of these, officially consider yourself "Safe".
If you rooted one of the below stock ROMs, you will also be safe, however - if you changed to a custom kernel or recovery, you need to look at the below custom sections.
If you have never rooted, the stock section is all you need read.
As It appears all 4.1.2 kernels have the fixes, there is no longer a need to test them all. See below for a list of tested kernels that have the fix. All kernels subsequent to these will also be regarded as safe.

People who have never rooted need not read any further. Essentially, if you have an official, never rooted 4.1.2 ROM, you're "safe"

This ROM is newer. Both by looking at Sammobile and by looking at the build number, it's obvious that it is included.
