As I said, I used ChainFire's CF-Root to play with all this and have just realized I could flash his kernel in order to have ClockworkMod recovery. We can do it using ADB or terminal (dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=4096), but the easiest way to do that is using his CWM Manager. If you want to have ClockworkMod recovery:
Download this file
Unpack it
Copy the unpacked files to your SDCARD
Using My Files app (in the app drawer) install CWMManager.apk (by ChainFire)
Run CWM Manager
Scroll down and tap on Flash kernel option
Select zImage
Your Galaxy S II will reboot after few seconds
Done!
Thanks ChainFire!

Yep! If you flash a non-official kernel via Odin, you'll have triangle on boot and your custom bin counter will be increased.

Hi friends you can try this Easy rooting and unrooting here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653.
No triangle and no counter increased. If need CWM then used DARKYROM2.apk from market to flash siyah kernel 2.1.1.tar or 2.2b15.tar. Upon successfully done and you will have a rooted phone with CWM V5.apk. Hope you enjoy!

Its really a noob question
Just got my Galaxy SII(europe version) and wanted to root them...
with *#1234# to find my phone version
PDA : I9100XWKE2
Phone : I9100XXKDJ (also Baseband)
CSC : I9100XFKD4
my full kernel version will be 2.635.7-I9100XWKE2-CL187606rootDell101 #2
i wonder which CF-Root v4.0 should i install..
i know its a stupid question but just wanted to make sure i did not flash the wrong one.....is it this one? CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE2-v4.0-CWM4
Yes .
jje
once i flash CF-Root on my device...what happen when a new official firmware for my device come out, lets say KE7..will it still update automatically or i will have to flash it manually......
I'm currently still looking for my device original firmware should i wanted to revert to the original firmware...in samfirmware i could find kernel KE2 but with a different CSC. does CSC version matter or as long as the kernel is right anything else does not matters.

Probably manually

No get your original firmware as a safety measure their can then be no arguments .
CSC is not needed to use the phone its Country Specific Settings just means you enter network settings manually .

- Root
- Superuser 2.3.6.1
- Busybox v1.16.2androidminimal (from CWM)
- Integrated CWM 4.0.0.2
stay after i flash CF-Root and do a factory reset?
If you use cf root. When an update comes out via kies for example it updates everything so if its the case the older cf root will be lost. then id imagine a new cf root will be made based on new firmware.

ok so I can flash any insecure kernel e.g. KE7 for example?

To do it in tue good way :
It seems you have an operator firmware
First you must flash using Odin a samsung official firmware like (KE7 last KIES update for european people) to find the samsung offical firmware for your country, look in the official firmware and root thread of intratech.
Then You can flash the CF-Root kernel corresponding to your new firmware.
The yellow triangle is really nothing bad. Just meens you didn't use all offical samsung stuff ...
Edit : in Intratech thread, for choosing you firmware : find one with same csc as yours or a multi CSC firmware.
Or after flashing any firmware you want, re-flash with
ODIN, your CSC (present in Intratech thread)
in ODIN, use CSC BOX not PDA and don't touch anything else

Ok so I have the KF2 firmware for flashing.
It came with three files:
Phone_I9100XXKF2.tar
PDA_I9100XXKF2.tar
CSC_I9100XEUD1.tar.
I am on Vodafone UK. So I think I should replace the CSC .tar file with this one that I found:
CSC_I9100VODKE2.tar
This CSC .tar is the same one I have already: thus I should have no issues with connectivuty settings etc after flashing.
Is this correct?

That's correct.
Or you can just reflash after updating to kf2 your specific CSC using Odin and CSC box
CSC are specific from a region/country (keyboards langages ...) that's why you should use one specific to yours

Ok great stuff.
So: I use Odin to flash the firmware to KF2.
Then I can root it with the XXKF2 unsecure kernels etc.
Cool.

Nop, you should use Chainfire CF-Root kernel (kF2)
You will be directly rooted and will have CWM recovery mode.
His KF2 kernel is in his 3rd post i bolieve
But don't forget to download and flash your CSC with ODIN in the CSC box if you don't want to loose your specific country configuration.
You will find your CSC in the Intratech thread : official firmwares and how to root.
The how to ROOT from Intratech is older than the CF root from Chainfire.

Hi,
Bought a GS 2 a couple of days back and its running the following firmware
Baseband : I9100DDKE4
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555
BUILD NUMBER - XWKF3
Have a few queries regarding flashing firmware
1) Can i flash the KJ1 firmware from Intratech's official firmware list?
XWKJ1
Android 2.3.5
This package has: PDA: XWKJ1| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/QYQLC8KGJ8
XWKJ1 Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/3W4XXTHFSZ
Password: [email protected]

Click to collapse
2) The firmware mentioned above has only one file.
If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3) Since the above package only contains one file, updating to the above firmware would change the CSC. I'm from India. And hence i would lose the settings.
How should i proceed?
I am very much new to this. The above questions maybe / are silly, but would like to know how this works.
Many thanks in advance.
Yes using odin, you can always flash another csc after, I suggest you read the thread and understand the basics of flashing firmware, before you proceed, flash cf root using odin so you will be rooted and reboot into recovery or use cwm app that comes with cf root and do a backup, so if things go wrong you can go back into recovery and restore back.
You can find cf root in original dev section.

The firmware update contains a baseband for a different country. If I update using the above, would I lose my network/data connectivity?

So if i update to the package without flashing the original CSC back, would i still be able to access my mobile network and data?
In other words, does the CSC have any carrier settings? I own a unlocked the GS2
Any help on my query?
Yes will be able to access the internet.
I tried a firmware of different country and even after that my GPRS and general call and text were working fine.
Later i flashed Indian CSC.

The CSC contains some customizations, but responsible for your baseband/network and data connectivity is the Modem/Phone part.
As there are many other users of your region/country running on Intratech's ROM versions, this should work for you as well.
P.S.: I prefer Frankenstein versions, as you can combine them with any other Modem/Phone and/or CSC.
Just download the files you need/want to use, put them into the corresponding section in Odin and flash them at once to your phone.
Good luck !

I rooted mine with the zergRush exploit, then installed one of ChainFire's CF-Root kernels that comes with ClockWorkMod. That gave me the ability to flash new ROMs without ever getting the warning triangle.

actually i still didnt rooted yet because of this reason. yes I dont want yellow triangle to appear and flash counter to increase more than zero could you please give me his link?
Use the search dude!!
Flash a ics firmware with odin, root it then use triangleaway to reset counter and get rid of the triangle. Never use odin again. I'm using mobile odin (pro version is on market, search the forum for lite version. However light version just flashes the stock fw, not roots it. So you must root it with odin etc) for flash stock roms and cwm for others. Odin mobile does not affect counter, or make the triangle appear. Then you can downgrade to gb or flash whatever you want.

He's not rooted yet and wants to avoid the triangle/binary counter increase. That's why I mentioned how I did mine...
Copy CF-Root kernel to sdcard
Root with zergRush
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=4096
Reboot
Flash any other ROM of choice through CWM.
I never used ODIN so didn't increment the counter. Once, I messed things up so I flashed a stock downloaded ROM via ODIN and went through the same procedure above to get CWM back.
