Hi everyone, i've just received my new Samsung galaxy s2 phone. I'm not sure what tutorial to follow and where to get the correct I9100PBVKI3 file from.
Could anyone help me ASAP pls!
MODEL: GT-I9100P
ANDROID VERSION: 2.3.4
BASEBAND VERSION: I9100PBVKI2

Thanks!
Why don't you flash an international stock rom with Odin? Take a look at the intratech thread...

thanks hugh. I've just realised that since my s2 has NFC feature on it, it may not work once flashed....any idea which roms will work and how to do this?
I'm not sure but this is the 1st time i saw an i9100P so flashing international stock rom may brick that like i9100G users did.. I'm not sure and lets wait for more answers.. better safe than sorry..

Do you simply want to root the phone in which case use the zergrush option on superoneclick 2.3?
the need to flash an insecure kernel is only required if you want to add CWM which is mainly used for two purposes nandroid backups and simpler flashing of roms. Though I also find the fix permissions useful
the main thing for now is that i want to root, although a custom fw would be great too. What i don't want to do is brick the phone.
Also i heard that if i root it, the warranty is void, there i need to buy some sort of usb to reset a counter????
If you root your phone and then you need the warranty, you have only to flash a stock rom and to reset the flash Odin counter with the jig(even if I think this is not strictly necessary)... But I think it's more useful to have
a rooted phone because you can solve many problems with your hands... In fact Samsung uses Odin to solve a lot of problem... After root make a backup of your rom, wipe data, cache partition and dalvik cache and install a custom rom...CheckROM is great!

Anyway if you root the phone with super oneclick using zergrush, you can then install cwm using ROM manager from the market flash whatever the hell you want without the need for Odin or increasing the ROM counter

Thanks very much guys. I've now managed to install checkrom 2.3.6 and darkknight theme. But its not working as i still get the same style layout as my original orange/samsung rom and everything looks the same, such as dialer, notification icons etc. But when i go into ABOUT PHONE, i can see:-
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version i9100xxki4
Kernel Ver: [email protected] #90
Build Number: CheckROM RevoHD V4
What have i done wrong?
Nothing! CheckROM is special because it seems as a stock ROM... But you can personalize it using kitchen pro app... There are themes, modems, kernels, mods and whatever you want... You only have to mark something for installation and to hit apply... But when you want to change theme you have to use the restore package (for example: stock theme, miuimix theme, restore theme package, other theme)... If you want to change kernel,I suggest you to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache before flashing...
Hope this helps!

thanks hugh....the problem is i can't find this kitchen app as its not in my applications, yet its supposed to be installed as standard :S
Try to download it from the rom thread and see if it works...

Hi there,
I have read quite a few forums/threads/blogs but still haven't found a simple answer.
Basically, I am still using stock rom (Samsung Galaxy S2) and have install many apps. If I do choose to root my device, do I need to reinstall all the applications?
I know I should do a backup before I start anything but if my device hasn't been rooted yet. How can I do a backup?
Appreciate if someone can give some pointers on how I can root without completely removing the existing rom and wiping out all apps that are installed.
Thank you.

Yes.
Besides, rooting will NOT delete anything from the device and it has nothing to do with ROM change, you will keep your current ROM.

It it depends on what version of ROM you have. You will need to use Odin and flash as PDA , xwdd insecure kernel. Then you can run oneclickroot. This will keep your apps.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Two ways. Both keep your apps, settings and data:
1) Flash CF-Root kernel using Odin. (search for the CF-Root thread in the original Android Development section)
2) Flash an insecure kernel using Odin (search for insecure kernel in the Galaxy S 2 section) and then run Superoneclick from your PC while hooked up to the SGS2.
Personally, I went for the CF-Root method as it is easier. You just end up getting the yellow exclamation triangle at boot, which you can remove by either using Odin to flash the stock kernel in again, then running the ClockworkMod app (it is installed by CF-Root) and flash the unzipped CF-Root zImage file back in, OR, you can use a USB jig that you can buy off ebay for a few dollars to remove the exclamation mark.
hey guys,
I have managed to read up quite a bit on rooting my Samsung Galaxy S2.
From what I understand, I would need to install kies(already done) for the usb driver, then install Odin(done) and download the insecure kernel xwkdd(also done) to flash it
It was also mentioned that in order to remove the yellow triangle on boot, I would need to flash the stock kernel and here's where my confusion is.
I am using the Indian version of Galaxy S2 and would really appreciate if I get help on exactly WHICH kernel to choose as a stock kernel for my device. I did see the kernel list, but not too sure whether it is meant for other nations.
My phones specifications are:
Baseband Version: I9100DDKE4
Kernel Version: [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
PDA: I9100XWKF3
PHONE: I9100DDKE4
CSC: I9100ODDKF3
So before I go ahead with rooting, please help me with selecting the correct kernel so that I can join the root world... :-D
Thanks in advance,

I'm on kernel version DUKH1
Hey Guys!
I just bought the mighty S2 and am loving it.
Baseband version: I9100DDLPA
Build Number: IML74K.XWLP7
I tried rooting my phone with ODIN and CF_ROOT method. This is the file version i used.
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
Now after rooting, my phone booted automatically. When i tried restarting, it was getting stuck on the yellow triangle.
I then downloaded the other kernel and tried flashing that too with ODIN.
CF-Root-SGS2_DX_XTC_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
But alas..
Then i downloaded the official ROM for my country and flashed it with ODIN. Fixed my phone. Below is the firmware i used.
GT-I9100_INU_I9100XWLP7_I9100ODDLP9_I9100DDLPA
This runs on ICS 4.0.3. I see that there's one more ROM of my country thats 4.0.4 on samsung-updates.
So my questions are as below
1) Which CF_ROOT version do i use to get my stock firmware rooted?
2) Is 4.0.4 any better than 4.0.3? Where do i find the changelog?
3) Can I flash a firmware of ANY country? Does it matter if I flash the firmware of my neighboring country?
4) Where do i find the stock kernel for my Firmware?
5) Does flashing the official firmware flash the stock kernel along with it? Meaning will it remove the Siyah-s2-v4.1.5 i am currently running :cyclops: ?
6) If 5 is yes, and if i need to by chance send my phone to the service center for warranty, and also if I am running a custom rom, will flashing the original firmware of my country + removing the yellow triangle + resetting the counter bring it back to warranty? ;P
7) Is there a way to try a ROM from the SD card without actually flashing it?
I seriously gotta parcel a crate of beer for the one who answers my questions.. One all set, I am in for trying out a custom ROM!

1 I don't know I use siyah kernel to root although there are full instructions in chainfires thread.
2 4.0.4 is better than 4.0.3 as it's an upgrade , use Google for change log.
3 yes you can flash any countries rom for your device.
4 in Stock rom. Just reflash the ROM to stock kernel, but this will loose root access.
5 yes. Correct.
6. It will remove triangle but you need triangle away app to reset counter. Credits to chainfire
7 no not that I know of.
Sir can I suggest you read the sticky threads in this forum. There are many excellent guides, advice, tips and information. You would do well to read them to save bricking your new device.

Yes to get stock kernel re-flash the whole stock rom. There is a method of extracting the kernel from the zip file but I've never tried it. Easy and safe to re flash whole rom package.

I noticed that flashing the firmware didnt make a single change to my phone. The apps and settings were totally intact. Will installing 4.0.4 too be the same? Also i heard about this brick bug on our phone. Does that happen while only wiping data/cahche using CWM? Is there an anther way of wiping data/cache/dalvik etc? other than factory reset for the bug

When moving between like firmwares (same number) you often do this without wiping data however when upgrading or down grading a full wipe is necessary. To avoid brick bug only wipe with a custom kernel eg siyah etc

That's all you need mate. This kernel is declared safe by Chainfire but as any 4.0.4 kernel should not be used to wipe data because of possibility of emmc cap bug rendering your phone bricked. Root with this kernel but make sure to switch to custom safe one before attempting to wipe data.
Best of luck

Essentially flashing using a 4.04 firmware will brick the phone? or is it when I flash, it will be bad to flash using a 4.04 firmware? Sooo confused.
If anyone has the steps what I should do, please tell me. I am worried about bricking.
If I root the phone, when official JB comes out, will I be able to update?
any help guys? The thread isn't very clear what do I do if I have this kernal. Do I downgrade before rooting?
Insted of flashing that Cf root kernel with Odin or Cwm, flash Siyah 4.1.5.

I actually have the same HW version in my new SGS2 and I have checked with eMMC check (downloaded from Google Play) that my chip is safe from "brick bug" :laugh:
Now the question is: which kernel to choose, CF or Siyah ? I'm planning to use CyanogenMod 10 on this phone, does kernel version matter at all in this case ?
/edit:
ROM will be either original CM10 or one of the variants (like HellyBean for example)

If GotBrickbug app by CF said your chip is safe than it shouldn't matter what kernel you use. Safe hardware.
Personally I always prefer rooting with CF kernels that match my FW version. Then if you're still unsure about the chip... flash siyah, go to advanced (while still in recovery) > reboot recovery. Then wipe data with siyah kernel just to be on the safe side. I always keep siyah 3.5.2 (the first transisiontl ics/jb kernel) for those purposes. CM10 built in kernels are all considered safe so that's the last time you'll ever be worried about it.
Best of luck, man
Thank you very much, I ran emmc check and I have a sane chip.
if I flash with the CF LBQ, what is my next step?

Samsung releases firmware in various regions and with varied carriers. So I bet that till it is officially released it will take time but when it does you will get OTA if your are on 'STOCK' ROM. but if you move away to custom rom then you will have to update manually.

To revert back assuming you didn't do backup before, download 4.0.4 firmware for your region on sammobile and flash it using odin.. Then to upgrade it when official update are up just hit OTA, kies, or flash it via odin the same way like you flash 4.0.4..
If you don't have idea how to flash then google it, theres plenty much tutorials out there.. hope it helps
Ohhhhhh. I get it. Flash using CF, or CM 10, use triangle app to remove warning triangle and if I need to unroot, flash with 4.04 (my region) using odin? Sound pretty simple. Am I missing any steps?

Actually I get confused myself hehe, by "Flash using CF, or CM 10" you mean flash what? The rest are ok..
Well, let's put this simple, Flash the CF-Root for your phone then you're rooted now, if you want to flash custom rom such as cm10 then flash it (the cm10 zip file to be flashed on recovery mode and don't forget to read the cm10 instruction before & after flashing), if you want to get rid of the triangle then do it with triangle away, finally to unroot and revert to stock, just flash stock firmware via odin..

3) Siyah kernel will automatically backup EFS folder for u once u install it
Oh I meant I am still undecided about installing custom roms as I coudnt find any bugs free lol. Anyways I am also having insane chip and I have made a backup of current stock. Do you think its safe as in restoring? Or I should make another one using Siyah?

I believe that restoring a backup if you are on stock 4.0.4 will/may result in bricking the phone, along with a factory reset in recovery.Making a backup with Siyah kernel will make no difference, it will just prevent you from bricking if restoring a backup or a factory reset. See here for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
Do you wish to flash a new ROM or what? Please be more specific, and there are many good ROM's on here with little to no bugs in them: see CM9/10.1 for a start.

Well I wish to flash one but as I said I couldn't find any. I visited Cyanogemod website and found all the nightly versions for I9100 which are the least stable ones. Also the most stable ones are near to stock and flashing them is useless. Could you suggest any? I have heard that AOSP ones are better. Moreover I couldn't find the old CM 10 on CM's website which I thought would be stable.

You could use CM9.1 which is a 'stable' release of CyanogenMod and AOSP. You could try RootBox, Resurrection Remix, Simplistic ROM, the choice is endless and only you can decide which is the best to suit your needs. Also, don't start a 'What ROM?' thread as it will get flagged and closed. So just back up your current ROM, back up your EFS folder using EFS Pro found here on xda to save you a headache later (trust me) and then get flashing! Remember, no wiping or restoring on stock 4.0.4 and always read the first post of a ROM thread, and always download for the i9100 only, not the i9100G!

Are you familiar with odin? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922461
I would suggest you flash Apolo kernel https://www.wuala.com/pedestre/Kern...N (just CWM & light version)?key=IZz8nJ7ajpFQ OP thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291756 and then try a stock based rom ie: Neatrom or Wannam
Hope this helps
What exactly are you after Delboy....stock or custom rom?.

im just wanting stock as im gonna sell it.
Just go to the Odin thread,read that and get the program.Then go to sammobile,join then fill in the 4 boxes to get the suitable firmware meant for your phone.
Have a look at a guide about say updating from GB to JB,so you know when to factory reset/script clean to avoid any conflicts,and remove sensitive data.....since your selling it.

Everything should be there, just download the latest one. Do make sure to do a factory reset in stock recovery after you have flashed the Jelly Bean ROM via Odin :good:
