[Q] Insecure BVKH1? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I update my firmware with kies and I've lost my root. It was rooted from the stock. Now I want to root my phone back and I need the insecure kernel for BVKH1 but I can't find it anywhere. Can someone help me? Thanks!
Edit:
using android 2.3.3

It does not mean your phone was rooted, it comes standard with most stock firmware.

that's my phone specifications after I update my firmware with kies. Before I've done the update the phone was rooted, I've checked with "root check" app and it confirmed the root.

You have KH1 firmware so you require KH1 root kernel .

Galaxy s2 kf3 firmware

Hi guys,
i have updated my firmware through kies from ke8 to kf3
(detail is pda :kf3,phone :ke4, csc : kf3(INU)),kindly let me know what firmware and kernel should i root and flash phone with so that it works properly.
Thanks,please reply any suggestion would suffice.
You need to flash with Chainfire's KF3 kernel to root. You already flashed the firmware, so you just need to flash the rooted kernel.

To get rid of Yellow triangle which is gonna appear after rooting you need to flash back the Stock/Samsung signed kernel of KF3, which you will download from here,

Yes, you can update via Kies and root again. Kies wont detect if your phone is rooted or not as long as you are on Stock firmware.

[Q] insecure kernels - confusing me

My galaxy s II has build number GINGERBREAD.BOKF3 - would the kf3 insecure kernel (is there one)work with it or is there a separate one needed for my version?? also once its rooted is there a secure one i can re flash with so the triangle is gone on boot up?
sorry about this question but this is the first android phone ive had that i want to root (mainly to unlock) and don't want to turn my shiny phone into a shiny brick. Any help is much appreciated

ive just read through the article - so do i download this and flash it - is that it rooted?? or do i flash this then super one click and root - im confused by the looks of the firmware it looks like a dev tool. :/
Find the right insecure kernel for your version KF3 and it will root your device then flash stock kernel to fix the yellow triangle showing whenever you reboot your phone.

You follow the instructions and flash the required file Super one click is not mentioned .
KF3 from post 4 .
Its not a dev tool its a modified kernel with root and cwm .

[Q] Upgrading rooted 2.2.2 to rooted 2.3.4 ?

I have a Galaxy S2 with XWKE7 (2.3.3) rooted on it.
How can I upgrade to 2.3.4 and root again ?
In this thread the kernels KH1 and KH4 are tested.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
As I cannot update via the official way "Phone -> Software update" shows 'No update available' and I cannot get KIES connected to my Galaxy.
Can I just flash KH4 rooted over the KE7 rooted with Odin without changing baseband and firmware (so it will not be wiped) ?

Flash full KH4 firmware root with KH4
Or if you want flash KH4 root over KE7 for an upgraded kernel on old firmware KE7 and that does not make sense .

Yes I have it (included in that kernel).
@JJEgan: So you mean I can do this simple step: just flashing the rooted KH4 kernel and that's it ? And leave original baseband (XXKE4) and firmware as is ?

Yes but why only update the kernel you have new kernel old firmware and old modem . But you can do it if you want but it wont be 2.3.4 firmware .
jje
The only reason is to use USB host for the SLD controller software by Chainfire and to run Drive Mount.
Installing firmware does require a complete backup and reinitiializing of the Galaxy which is a real hassl. Or not ?

I want to root my S2

Hi
Now I am absolutely stock as You can see I update my S2 via Kies and now I have KI3. I decide to root my device in oder to get all cool fetures as CWM and so on. But I am a lit bit disapointed with my battery life so I though that I can try to flash KI8.
1. I think I will use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 but I don't understand diffrence between Frankenstein Firmwares and officials. Maybe someone could explain?
2. As I mention before I updated via Kies to KI3 so I have new bootloader or not which you can't reset with Jig or not? If I have it can I still flash this one:
Firmware info
PDA:XWKI8
PHONE: XXKI4
Date: 28/09/2011
Android 2.3.5
Why Phone and PDA are diffrent?
NEE (Nordic Region): http://www.multiupload.com/XPF31ATMO4
XWKI8 Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/4O6DVGUGSU
Password: [email protected]
And if I flash it I will have my native language on the phone (Lithuanian) or not?
3. Now then I reset my my phone as it was made it changes language to Polish and it's polish on the first boot how to make that Lithuanish would be the default language despite the wipe?
4. Imagine that I flash new firmeware KI8, and now I have to root. I think I will use this guide to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
And what is diffrent between ChainFire's or Odia's insecure kernels. Where get those?
For now that is all

The posts explains .
These packages below are not official firmware packages, they are Frankenstein package created due to demand for Firmware with different CSC and modems and also leaked firmware packages. KIES will not recognise the firmware so you won't be able to update to new firmware using KIES unless you flash back to a firmware meant for your device first. Otherwise there will always be Odin to use for updates
2. As I mention before I updated via Kies to KI3 so I have new bootloader or not which you can't reset with Jig or not?
New bootloader cannot be reset custom rom counter .
If I have it can I still flash this one:
Firmware info
PDA:XWKI8

Why Phone and PDA are diffrent?
Phone = modem modems are not updated as often

1. I am new one so this post isn't clear for me. Maybe you could explain.
2. so I have new bootloader. If I flash KI8 fireware I will have the bootloader which I can reset with jig?
3. So for rooting I should use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 this tutorial instead of my first one and with CF KI8 I will get CWM and SU already?

But there are writen All packages below this point have the old bootloader so you can safely reset the binary counter with a Jig so I can use KI8 with old bootloader?
