Hi,
I'd like to understand the difference between Kernel version and Build number.
I'm running an android phone and to root it I had to perform a few action on the device :
My current (final) Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 and Build number GINGERBREAD.BUKJ3. What is the relation between the Kernel and build numbers?
At first (out of the box), the phone came with something close to this :
gt-i9100
2.3.3
I9100BVKE2
2.6.35.7-I9100BVKE2-CL195878 [email protected] #2
Gingerbread.BVKE2
In order to root it, I had to find flash the device with a Kernel that would inlucde KE2 in its name. Why?
So the kernel would be CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE2-v4.0-CWM4.zip
Now my phone says i'm running GINGERBREAD.BUKJ3 and Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513.
In my current system I'd like to know if it's ok BUKJ3 doesn't match in any letters with WKDD...

Hi,
I purchased my S2 from a retail shop and that time the shopkeeper told me its 4/5 days used.
At the Bootup the yellow triangle showed up and they told me that since the set purchased
from 3 UK and to make that SIM free they root it.
Anyhow i am using the set since Sep and i havn't found any problem...
Now i want to get rid of Yellow Triangle and upon the searching the forum i conclude that i
need to reinstall the original Kernel...
System Details are given below... ( two methods used for that)

BUILD NUMBER : GINGERBREAD.XWKF4
Now as per my understanding my Kernel is XWKF4 but in Kernel Ver its shows that it is XWKDD.
Now the problem is - if i flash the original kernel ; will that make my phone SIM lock again
?
All i want to remove the Yellow Triangle and make it ready for the firmware updates..
Also can i remove the 3 branding without sacrificing the Stock ROM...
And can i install the other firmwares from 3 OR should i stick with the original...
Regards....

Flashing any soft ware from here will not lock the phone.
you can use kf4 to remove the triangle.
You really cna not remove the 3 branding with the stock rom, you need a generic one.
You should you upgrade your phone. you are using 2.3.3, latest versions use 2.3.5 and has significant battery tweaks so the battery lasts longer.
you can use stock or custom but the choice is your preference.
Before flashing you should make a backup of your efs folder just in case.

Hello guys. My device used hyperdroid 7 androidmeda before then I decided to flashed to Cyanogenmod 10.2 yesterday but some problem popped up. My GS2 can't find any signal, IMEI disappeared from "About phone". I tried many ways to solve it but all had failed so I flashed again with 4.0.4 base rom (I9100DXLPF - Thailand) successfully and got my IMEI appeared again with full phone signal. Now I'm planning to flash it to ERobot version 24(android 4.0.4) since it's quite popular in my country and that leads to my question
1. Since I flashed 4.0.4 base rom does that mean my device got unrooted?
2. If it's unrooted then should I flash Siyah kernel 5.0.1 through Odin to get it root again?
3. Does Siyah kernel already has CWM? or do I have to flash CWM in later?
4. In the case that ERobot rom can't function like I expect it to and I might want to go back to hyperdroid 7 which has android version 2.3.6 can I just use "install zip from SDCard in CWM" because at the time I should have CWM in already and with Siyah kernel.
My current device
Model number : GT-I9100
Android Version : 4.0.4
Baseband Version : I9100DXLPB
Kernel Version : [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 23 13:50:48 KST 2012
Build number : IMM76D.DXLPF
also I got my IMEI back just from flashing this base rom
Thank you in advance
I am very new to android and really want to root my device or atleast get jelly bean, or something other than gingerbread

Kernel version - 2.6.35.7

Your gonna be stuck. That version of Android is not even an official version. No kernel source for the device is ever released so no updates.
