and i want to know if this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274 will support
I am new to rooting did read most info but scared abit
Thanks
You can root without the need to insecure kernel. The method is available in the root guide in the official firmware thread in the dev forum.
If you want to use an insecure kernel then you can use anyone of them, doesn't need to match your current firmware... just chose the latest one.
Thanks for the fast reply this mean i can use Lite'ning Rom v6.1 XXKH3 = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274

I have no idea how you got to that from the above, but yes, I guess you could use Lite'ning ROM, but that's nothing to do with what you asked for. Do you understand the difference between kernel, ROM and root?
what version do i need to root my phone? Give me example this will help alot. Asking because i dont want to mess up the phone.

Use the Kj3 CF-root Kernel, then you can change to which Rom you like. This is what i used and I've tried several Roms but found stock rooted does me fine

Thanks, But as u can see the kernel and baseband are different. Which kernel shd I use? And I don;t understand 95% of the article! lol. I am a super noob!! I appreciate if u can help me make sense of all these things.
KF1 Kernel a kernel is not a baseband .
Kernel is the bit between cpu and OS .Baseband is the modem for network/GPS .
As rooting voids your warranty you should understand what you are doing before carrying out the task .

Well, I have few rooted phones behind me, and honestly, I did not really understand the thread(which is supposed to be for noobs) either... I just picked up one of those Kernels(KF4) and flashed it, phone is working just fine, so I guess I picked up the correct one, however no idea whats the difference between them anyways

KG1 is just a kernel for andorid 2.3.4..and you need to upgrade rom to 2.3.4 as well.

Hello everobody,
First of all I'd like to say I couldn't find my answer in the forums , so that's why I´m starting a new thread.
My english is not that good. I'm from Chile and I just got my Galaxy SII. I want to install a custom firmware to take full advantage of my phone.
It would be great if you could give me pointers on how to start. Some tutorials to root and install a new firm on my phone, also please instruct me on wich is the better custom firmware to use.
Thanks in advence.

Not necessarily its just the kernel the chef recommends, but it may not work for you. I personally like speedmod. The battery life is superb with the rom your using.

I am new to the android .and bought my first galaxy s2. I will follow the s2 one click root to root my phone. I need to know if I need the same kernal as my device? My original kernal is JPKG5. do I need jpkg5 insecure kernal and then a jpkg5 secure kernal to root my phone? Or can I change my kernal to some other kernal of my choice?
my galaxy s2 gets pretty hot if I play intense games like asphalt or star legends, it even gets hot if I use mobile internet like EDGE (i guess its 2g internet nott sure) and browse the internet. The battery life sucks. I keep wifi, gps off and it last like 7 hours if I use mobile internet. Heard a different kernal might help.
One last question, what is the purpose of titanium backup? Do I get to restore my phones original self back again easily? Like will it unroot itself and return to the original gingerbread rom if I decide to change to cynogenmod? If titanium backup does not do that, then how can I unroot my phone and then get back to my original gingerbread rom?
Thanks alot for your help...

Welcome to Android I am not sure about the kernel. The purpose of TB is that you can backup all your apps and data and if you flash a new custom rom you can use TB to restore all the apps and data. Its a very powerful application. You can always flash the original stock rom downloaded from Intratechs thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278. Then you will have an unrooted phone. Beware of the custom counter!!

If you are international S2 (i9100) user use CF-Root instead SOC:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Dont use CF-Root or SOC if you are AT&T user, there is specific threads on how to root AT&T devices.
CF-Root is 1 step only, this means for a non experienced user like you (as it's your first android device) less chance to screw up something.
Follow carefully the instructions.
Be sure Kies installed but NOT running (kill kies process) because kies block odin = semi bricked phone.
Takes about 30 seconds

Cf-root seems like it will limit me to only one kernel, is it a fact? Is it possible for a gs2 user to use any kernel he desires? because I would like to use a better kernel than jpkg5 but stick to the original gingerbread rom 2.3.3. Then mod it to stop loading the so called bloat somehow using an app. Plus I found cf-root to be a little confusing, can u help me understand this? Cf-root will use the kernel inside the phone and leave it intact plus give me root? Or will cf-root change my kernel permanently?
Thanks for all the trouble everyone, if its ok ill ask more questions if I get stuck, but will try my best to figure it out myself first...thanks again...

If you flash one of those ROMs you will flash from cyanogen to your original. The custom counter counts how many times you flash a custom rom / kernel - it can be a problem if you have to send your phone in for repair. Read more about it.

cf-root is an original kernel with root+cwm inserted. No it dosnt lock you to a single kernel, its just the most easy way to root your phone while keeping your stock rom. When you are rooted you then can flash any kernel or custom rom you want.
You only need to pickup the same (ex: kh3, ki4, kf1 etc..) for the root process, this to have full compatibility during root with the stock rom on your phone, but after successfull root you can flash any kernel/rom for the s2

there is also no original kernel available for this firmware, if you flash someother custom kernel and if something went wrong to go back...

Hey guys,
How do I root my galaxy s2 with BOLPD Kernel. I can't find any insecure BOLPD Kernels. I've rooted with another kernel yesterday, but it was basicly messed up. Anybody suggestions?
It's the Netherlands version.
It's T-Mobile NL Branded. It is the i9100 version, but with some boot and down animations.
Anybody?
Chainfire said:
Help! Which file do I use ?
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
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.

most of the people are rooting their phone for the purpose of flashing Custom ROMS, when they use any method other than rooting custom kernel they wont get CWM, so their next question will be posted How can I install CWM? therefore the best method to suggest for rooting is flashing custom Kernel.
If CF-root is not available for the perticual firmware, there are many other rooting kernels are available for ICS like Siyah, Speedmod etc..regardles of the firmware version number. better to recommend them instead of others....

which is that new method??
most of the people are rooting their phone for the purpose of flashing Custom ROMS, when they use any method other than rooting custom kernel they wont get CWM, so their next question will be posted How can I install CWM? therefore the best method to suggest for rooting is flashing custom Kernel.
If CF-root is not available for the perticual firmware, there are many other rooting kernels are available for ICS like Siyah, Speedmod etc..regardles of the firmware version number. better to recommend them instead of others....

This new method

He was failing to understand/find the Cf root, this is the simplest method.
Plus yes it don't give you the cwm manager or cwm, but you can always use the stock recovery and choose that same cwm to get cwm and flash your ROM.
Plus no triangle and no counter.
