Hello,
I am brand new here and just got my S2, which I would like to root. I have read the post from Chainfire. My question now is:
My base version is I9100BOKD1
Buidl. GINGERBREAD.BOKE4
Kernel 2.6.35.7-9100BOKE4-CL-188639root DELL102#2
Can I use the XWKDD_insecure.tar for rooting or do I need another version. Would an upgrade by Samsung to a newer version still be possible?
Hope some can help me on this, not willing to brick it!
Thanks in advance
you definitely can use this kernel for rooting, just flash back your stock kernel afterwards!

That's an interesting question for me, as well. Should an update come out, how can I apply it, since my phone is rooted?
you can always flash new fw versions with ODIN

Update depends upon the product code on the phone .
for updates via Kies or flash generic via Odin .

Thanks for the answer. Where do I get the stock kernel from? Is it possible to backup it from the device.
I read that I would need the adb driver for my phone. I have KIES installed and I am able to get on the phone via MyPhoneExplorer. However, KIES does not work. Where do I get the adb driver from? Uninstall and reinstall KIES? Thanks anyway for the quick response!

welcome
regarding adb drivers: install the android sdk or search in google for a suitable driver, you definitely will find one!
regarding stock kernel take a look here

So essentially for my version I would need the KE4? right?
I already rooted SonyEricsson Xperia X10 and X10mini, so this should not be a problem. I just want to make sure to have the right stuff in place and not to brick it. Thanks again!
No KE7 should work it has KE4 modem baseband .

So you are saying I already have KE7 although it says KE4 in the build? Why should I use the KE7 then?
I tried to use KIES to look for updates, however S2 is not recognized by KIES.
In terms of the adb driver ( I use WIN XP SP3), do I need to see it. I am able to connect to the internal SD Card. So does it work then?

No i saide KE7 should work
KE4 is not firmware its the modem if you are reading . = Baseband
KE7 Build KE4 Baseband is what about phone reads .
I tried to use KIES to look for updates, however S2 is not recognized by KIES.
No you have no longer got the firmware that goes with the phone so it cannot find correct codes .
ABD no idea never us it .

Thanks. As I am a Newbie I jsut need little advice.
I finally managed to connect with KIES by simply disabling UBS debugging. Now I have what is rquired to know:
PDA: KE4
Phone KD1
CSC KE4 (DTM).
So I suspect I could take the KE4 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671
As far as I understood from our conversation is that KE7 is the newest kernel and KE4 is included. Would an upgrade to KE7 still allow me to officially upgrade to a possible newer version?
You would advice to take KE7?

Ke7 is now superseded for some by KE8
Modem in KE7 is KE4 .
Once you move to stock rom you may lose your update path through Kies .
You have posted
PDA: KE4 older firmware than KE7
Phone KD1 Older Modem than KE4
CSC KE4 (DTM).
But the Kies update path will always be open if you update via Kies from original firmware even if its much later for updates than flashing stock rom via Odin .
Path for firmware is Samsung build stock rom its then passed to the network /providers for testing and customisation they then send to Kies . Kies matches original firmware product codes etc finds a matching update and downloads .

If it is in Samfirmware, then just download it from there. But if you MISSED warnings in Flashing and if you havent your ORIGINAL FROYO even in Samfirmware, then you can BLAME ONLY your self. Sorry!

flash it from samfirmware n ull get ur warranty back....
Hi, I've just gotten my galaxy ace for 3 days. I updated my fone to gingerbread using S5830XXKPE and odin from samfirmware. It's been restarting/shutting down by itself after the update so I wanted to downgrade to froyo again but I tried downloading and flashing a lot of other versions but, no luck. It hangs and stays at the "Galaxy ace" part of the boot and doesn't open. But whenever I flash it back to S5830XXKPE, it opens and works but I think it is bugged and I really cannot downgrade to other firmwares. Is anyone else having the same problem??? Help please >_<
Update:
I've successfully flashed it with S5830XXKPB but still its GB 2.3.3, I still can't flash it with froyo 2.2.1 firmwares. help pretty pleaseeeee...
Download a multipackage 2.2.1 firmware, one that when you unzip it will have several files. You probably flashed a single package .tar that caused the brick.
A single package update contains only some files to be replaced over the original 2.2 firmware and is not the full rom so you'll have to flash a multi package then update to your desired single package.

Thanks for replying. Actually I'm using odin multidownloader 4.38 and yes, I did use the multipack not a single .tar.
Here are the list of firmware I've downloaded and used to flash my phone but unsuccessful all attempts: (and some firmware I've deleted because of anger lol) )
S5830XXJLC
S5830XXKA7
S5830XWKB7
S5830XXKC1
and now these two are the ones that boot up when I flash on my phone: (both GB)
S5830XXKPE
S5830XXKPB
I did successfully downgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.2.1 though. I believe the firmware from Samfirmware.com will have labelled "MULTI-CSC" or something like it.. I can't check now it's midnight here and sleeping time...
XDA ♥
okay, I'll try that too. Imma download 2.3.4 from samfirmwares then try downgrading to froyo. I'll tell ya how it goes. (crosses fingers) )
Successfully flashed to 2.3.4 but downgrading...no luck. What could be the problem...ohhhh maaaannnn!!! >_<

It was I'm ly after rooting that i had the restart issue and only when titanium backup was using super user access. After upgrading super user in the market everything was fine after that - v2.3.4 running sweet now.

S5830XXKA6 was what I used. But oh well it would always be better to get a fresh phone
they said they'll just call me to get the new phone when it arrives.

You could still update by flashing to the new one from the older multi-package.

Not to threadjack or anything but I did downgrade from 2.3.4 down to 2.1 XWKB7 everything works fine, Im on my correct CSC and the apn was preconfiged like it should be but when i connect to kies It says that it cant update my phone and marks my CSC as SER (wich it was with 2.3.4) but according to *272* Im using NEE
(wich is nordic as best I can gather)
Hope you guys understand this mess
Well do you have a nandroid backup of your system, data, etc?
No, I thought nandroid wasn't an option for us yet?
I have the correct csc and modem but its not the same PDA I have kb7 but stock was kc2
Just to update, kies was in a better mood today than yesterday and saw that I had the correct CSC and gave me an upgrade to stock

ODIN 4.38 can´t flashing? (mibip or startup?)
When you have problem with downgrade or upgrade firmware thrue ODIN and you are user WIN7 ---
- You can use to flash only one firmware!!!!
(it does not matter which, !!!! BUT you must going UP and DOWN,UP,DOWN like this(2.3.4 to 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 to 2.2.1)
----No like this (2.3.4 to 2.3.4 it doesn´t work) )
- You must after every re-flash--------reboot your PC !!!!!
- Your ODIN 4.38 stop at -- download mibib or something else? It´s my problem too
- After restart everything is O.K.and NOW ODIN doing everything to

Hi,
Kies doesn't know what firmware my phone, how can I solve this problem without having to root the phone or change roms?
Thanks
Rooting is not required to change ROMs.
The most important thing is, what ROM have you on your phone?
If you have a ROM that is not a standard ROM (stock or branded) then Kies will not recognise it.
Its a stock rom.
Something got messed up with the last update, and since then kies won't recgonize the firmware..
What should I do then?
By the way, the new update is 2.3.4?
thanks
If something got messed up, then reflash the ROM you can use Odin and use the stock ROM in the ROM Developers section.
maybe an older version of Kies might help..try searching the forum cause yesterday the same topic as your asking came up and few suggested rolling back the Kies version...new one is having problems i heard
dont know if this help you but worth a try
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285544
Will reflashing the rom delete all the phone's data?
Thank you both

if your talking about apps and stuff i cant remember to be honest cause i rarely use odin but i think it does a complete wipe so i say yes you will lose data..
but as the guy above said try reflashing a stock rom and once your back up and running we can take the next step...
word of advice...2.3.5 officially has not been released in the UK..if i did not root i would be only updated to 2.3.4 the last few weeks...i do all my updating through custom roms or even by Intratech thread were he has all the latest releases..Kies for me is a no goes anymore....
so do your reading and if you ever need any hand send me a message and if i can help i will

You welcome.
i remember when i tried to change kernels from CF-root thread i could not get kies to recognize it...so tried to find the one that matched the closest and region i am and bam it worked..updated my firmware through kies and that was the end of it...but if you use a kernel to root and try and to update it through kies you lose your root...so my advice find a kernel that matches your firmware then by all means go ahead root and try flashing roms...you can always go back on stock if you want...
but do your reading and like i said you want a hand if i can i will help you
Why kies doesnt recognize my firmware
Yesterday i flashed my SGSII with I9100XWKI8 2.3.5 firmware, before that i had I9100XXKH3 2.3.4. Both Firmwares are European i believe. In both cases my Kies do not recognize it.
i installed the stock firmware no root at all
Is it because i live in South America?

Hi, I'm new here, so sorry for my question.
I just update my firmware with kies the root disappeared. I've got my phone rooted from the stock. Now I want to update to 2.3.5 and I need to root again, but I can't find the insecure kernel I9100BVKH1 to root. Can someone help me what to do so I can root my phone? And if I update to 2.3.5 (now I have 2.3.3) kies won't recognize the new firmware? Thanks!
hi guys,
i've tried few other roms, XXLPH recently and it changed my Baseband to XXLPH. i recovered my phone back to original Stock ROM 2.3.5 (XWKJ1) where my baseband was XXKI4, everything is like it was before except the baseband, which is still XXLPH. is it possible to somehow flash only the baseband without wipeing the phone with stock rom via Odin ? everything seems to be working so do I even need to flash it ? also, I don't really understand what that Baseband does.
thank you
Most of the ROMs don't include a baseband / modem / radio, so you can flash what you want separately. If you cand find an Odin flashable modem file, then you can change only that, without any other modifications. There are also CWM flashable ones, which is much easier than with Odin.
ok, got it.. so the question is, do I need to change it back to KI4 if everything is working with LPH (and my battery seems to live longer with LPH) although LPH is for ICS 4.0.3 and KI4 is for GB 2.3.5 which i have now ? thanks
//and where can I get these ? in Odin it is Modem button right ? and in CWM it is update.zip, so I just need my XXKI4, any ideas ? thanks
If it works leave it .
Modem files are in the Modem thread in dev section .

You are right . In odin it's the "modem".And in CWM it's a ZIP file(whether it's name is Update doesn't matter)
