Hi guys,
i upgraded my sgs2 wiht kies just yesterday,
now i've got this system info:
Android Version: 2.3.6
Base Band: i9100xwki1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-i9100XIKK1-CL739309 [email protected] #2
Build Version: GINGERBREAD.XIKK1
Of course i lost the root, i tried to search for the insicure kernel in this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671
But i didn't find anything, can you give me a link where i can find the file that i need? or simply tell me another way to root the phone..
Thanks a lot for your help
Use this kernel: clickme
Instant root plus CWM, its based on the stock kernel.
I would go with this one, KK5 based as there doesnt seem to be a KK1 version
clickme (direct link to file)
Flash via odin
ok, thanks a lot, i'll try before tomorrow!
perfect, it work, thanks again!

Goodo
Warning: With a custom kernel you wont be able to update with kies, you will need to flash back your stock kernel from this thread or more likely the thread with carrier firmware (its linked in the other one).
If you flash back your stock kernel you will lose CWM but keep root.

Hey Guys,
So... a little while back I updated my SGS2 to the official ICS through Telstra.
It is an LP4 kernel, and I looked around for a rooted version of this to suit my new firmware... never found one so I tried rooting using LPS - which worked.
After a little while I am starting to notice some strange and very frustrating behaviour (frequent reboots, bad battery life, lagging/freezing, etc). I am not sure if the LPS kernel is to blame, but I am just wondering if someone can please advise me if there is a more suitable rooted kernel which matches LP4, or if someone can let me know where i can download the official LP4 kernel (telstra) so I can flash it back and see if it fixed my issues.
Thanks for any help.

Looks pretty good thanks man. I would rather just flash back to stock LP4 instead of factory reset.
Any idea where i can get the stock kernel?
Thanks again man.
Yup that's the one,
And if you can't find the kernel, guess you have to flash again
XWLP4 Stock Kernel:

since you are already rooted, you can use K-tool, or CWM manager to flash "zImage" file of the above kernel

thanks for the reply mate.
i hate to pester... but can you please break it down for me step by step on how to do this?
Ive tried a bunch of different things but i cannot get K-tool to find my .ZIP file (the one I downloaded from that link). Do i need to extract from the .ZIP file? Rename? Where do i put it on the sdcard? etc.
Rookie questions i know - but im struggling to find a good guide/tutorial.
thanks mate.
Also... will i loose root if i flash this way? There was another root method i have used... where i flashed the insecure kernel, then flashed the secure (original/stock) one over the top with certain settings and it allowed me to maintain root.
thanks again.

I think root will be ramined after flashing the stock kernel from K-tool or CWM manager,
you have to unzip the file until you get "Zimage" file, be carefull when you handle this, dont mixup with any earler zimage file which may already be on your SDcard or PC, because the file name is same "Zimage" for all the kerels once its extracted,
before flashing the Stock Kernel, you dump your current Kernel with K-tool, you will find a "Zimage" file on the root of SD card, cut and paste that from SD-card to another safe location, inside any folder..
then paste downloaded and extracted Zimage of the Stock kernel, and select flash..
you will be able to flash rooted kernels from CWM Manager (Zimage) again..

thanks again for the help ZACQ8.
Followed your instructions, flashed the alternate kernel, maintained root. Magic.
Now ive just got to monitor the system behaviour and see if i can notice any improvement.
Thanks so much dude.
Anyone know how to do this with an unrooted LP4 telstra phone?
Thanks

Gday mate,
I did as follows....
Root using the LPS kernel following the instructions in this thread (Instructions - ODIN (long)).
Then flash back to original LP4 kernel using ZACQ8's instructions as above.
The idea is that you temporarily flash to an arbitrary kernel - simply to obtain root. The you flash back to your original kernel to ensure your ROM/firmware doesnt get bothered by a different kernel.
Cheers.
Hi [email protected]
I just used kies to upgrade my firmware and noticed that I have similar build as you SGS2
I am also using Testra
My build after upgrade:
Samsung Galaxy S2
Android Version - 4.0.3

Build Number - IML74K.DVLP4
Can you please help me with this, your input would be appreciated.
Are you using the kernel listed under your description or is it the LP4 and what is your experiance ( modem effectivness)
I also installed and tried ktool 1.56 and when opening the app gave errors (no root access)
Did you have the same issue.
My aim is also to stay with this Firmware but get root access. any thoughts
Thanks

You don't even need Odin or kernel again with the above method since all your are looking for is root access only.
Good luck

Hi sparkrat,
Sorry for the confusion – yes, I had reverted back to the stock LP4 kernel using ZACQ8's method from post #7. I just forgot to update my signature.
Checkout my post #10 for a summary of the instructions.
Simply put… you have to flash an un-secure kernel to obtain root… then you can use ktool for flash back to your current kernel. That is what I did. And it worked fine and maintained root.
After a while I started getting data drop-outs and a few force closes and random reboots, so I smashed the phone over my knee. Not sure if the issues were due to the rooting/flashing.
Not my finest moment.
Alternatively… Jokesy’s method looks really good – if it works. So thanks for that Jokesy.
Good luck mate, let me know how you go.
I'm about to get my SGSII in about an hour and the first thing I plan to do is flash the Siyah kernel through odin and gain root. Is there a way to backup the stock kernel without root before I flash this one?
Thanks in advance.
you dont need to backup the original stock kernel. you can download it anytime, just use the search function. i recommend flashing a matching stock rooted kernel for your firmware, then perform traingle away and then flash siyah from cwm.

OK, thanks for the good advice. I will definitely go that route since this is the first SGSII I've owned and you would know better than I do. Just for the record if I did it my way would it have bricked my phone?

After getting your galaxy s2,
First thing is to Post your firmware details here; Goto Settings - About phone, and post everything you see.
You might not need to flash any kernel at the end the day.
Happy Independence Day!
OK just got the phone and they didn't send it with a battery...
Anyway here is the info

Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: T989UVLH1

Good.
1. Your device is T-Mobile variant of the Galaxy SII.
2. Flashing anything meant for GT I9100X including Siyah kernel will destroy your phone.
3. Visit the right forum for your phone, and continue from there: forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1329
Consider yourself very lucky!
Don't flash Siyah kernel at all
Happy Independence Day!
Wow thank you for saving me. Didn't realize there was a subforum for my phone. I definitely owe you one.

STOP! Dont flash your phone with siyah kernel. It will brick your phone. Right now Siyah works only for the International version.

Hello xda-devs,
I rooted my sgs2 a while back , but now with the official release of ICS on my phone , I'd like to update to it.
My questions are: Can I do it without unrooting the phone? If not , how can I unroot my phone along with most of the apps I got that only work on rooted devices?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick response.
It says :

So I'm guessing ... not?
If you can flash your stock kernel, then you are good to go.
If not, then you can flash the same firmware via Odin

1. Download the latest firmware for your phone and country from Sammobile
2. Backup your important data (Messages, Contacts etc)
3. Read the flashing Guide here
4. Extract the zip file you downloaded.
5. Flash the firmware via Odin
done.
When you are done, let me know.
Also, if you have any questions, do let me know.

You have to Root again. Actually rooting is much easier in ICS.
First, you need to post your Firmware details: Goto Settings > About phone, and post everything you see.

hi there
i am so new at this and really need help from you guys.
i have read several thread about how to root your phone and already stuffed with some general ideas of what is rooting, and some terms like rom and kernel. but yet still confused about how to really start the rooting itself.
much of the threads i visit are sort of (as far as i understand) specified for Samsung Galaxy S II GT - I9100 with Ginger Bread 2.3.2 as the firmware. i already updated mine into ics 4.0.3 with specifics below:
baseband version: I9100DXLP7
kernel version: 3.0.15-I9100DXLP7-CL233393 [email protected] #3
build number: IML74K.DXLP7
PDA/PHONE: I9100DXLP7 and CSC: I9100LBLP7
much of the explanation i read, srated with downloading the Odin (attached file), and that's pretty much after where i lost
so please, can anybody help me about this?
thanks in advance, and best regards

I'm sorry, it isnt clear. what exactly do you want help with? Using Odin to flash a custom kernel?
Hi...
Go to ChainFire thread and look for (CF-Root DXLP7) kernel and flash that via Odin.
Second is download ChainFire TriangleAway app to remove the triangle warning on boot.
Thats it you are rooted

yes, i found CF-Root-SGS2_DX_XTC_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip, unzipped and rooted the tar in it, and according to ChainFire instruction, i think this one is the right one for my kernel.
although i can't flash kernel as instructed by him:
Instructions - If you already have CF-Root
- Copy the zip file to your SD card
- Stop sharing SD card with computer over USB, unplug the cable, etc
- Applications -> CWM -> Flash kernel. Select the ZIP file on your SD card.
- Done
opened the CWM, but no options available and basically the application is running but nothing really happen
what should i do? thanks
ps. i can't ask ChainFire directly on his thread as i haven't posted stuff more than 10 posts yet
Hey guys,
It's been absolutely ages since I've done anything to my phone and kind of lost all my abilities to do so aswell. I'm getting my SIII next week and will give my SII to my dad. However I would like to have it running on just everything stock.
Currently still running on:
Android: 2.3.4
baseband: i9100XXKDJ
Kernel: [email protected] #Supercore_1.4 (I know old school)
build: DarkyRom2 XXKG2 ODEXED BASE R3
My question is if you guys could give me a little push in the right way. I have absolutely no clue on how to get back to stock kernel + rom
So please help. Thnx in advance
