Hi, I want to root my SGS2, but I have XWKI4 and I do NOT find an INSECURE KERNEL for it. I want to update it through odin and I do NOT want a chainfire root. Do you know any XWKI4 kernel? Thank you!

Why not search through the development section? Might I ask why you don't want a chain fire root?

not look for a kernel with all XWI4 name with one that is only I4, it works.
Example:
the kernel was UHKI3, and use an insecure Kerne XXKI3
Well, stoney73, as I read you can't have ROM Manager if you root with CF, and I like ROM Manager, because I rooted a Motorola Defy and I have ROM Manager on it.
Try this thread
Thanks MistahBungle, but I do not see any I4 insecure, only original.
That's funny, because when I click on the link that says "Post was getting large, so older versions have been moved to here GT-I9100", it takes me to a great long list of older kernel versions.
And you'll never guess which insecure kernel is listed/available for download ? Yep, KI4 insecure.
Funny about that, eh
Edit to add - Anyone who reads this & can read/search and has a spare 30 seconds, please take the time to click that link in Odia's thread and confirm to the OP there is indeed an insecure KI4 kernel available for download on that Hotfile page. And then slap the OP with a large trout old-school IRC style for me.

Thanks for your support MistahBungle, but I've asked Odia to send me the insecure and the original XWKI4 Kernel, and he sent me the download links.
He shouldn't have sent you the download links.
Why ? Because the kernel you were looking for was available by clicking the link in his thread I gave you a link to & going to the Hotfile page where he has all the kernels listed available for download.
The fact you were unable to perform that simplest of tasks suggests to me you shouldn't be messing around with your phone in the first place, wouldn't be surprised to see a "Hlap mai fone broked" post from you in the very near future :-/
And what if say that I successfully rooted it? You don't know me so you can't say that I'll brick my phone!
Can't you understand that I can't see them? And this is because of my browser, not because of me! I opened the thread with Mozilla and I finally saw them. I don't use Mozilla very often and you can't say that I am not intelligent only because I'm Romanian and I'm not American. And you can't say this because you don't know me! Let's get this over!

Evening everyone,
First of all, yes, I am a noob and yes, I know there is a ton of information on this site. I've been reading basically non-stop for the past day and a half and though I've basically figured out everything I need to know (for now) I still have a few questions and need a bit of clarification. If this info is available elsewhere feel free to link and complain about me starting a new thread.
Just got my sII yesterday, info is:
Gingerbread 2.3.3
PDA: I9100MUGKG2
PHONE: I9100MUGKG2
CSC: I9100MBCKG2
Carrier: Virgin Mobile (Canada)
I'm planning on doing CF-Root -> VillainROM and I believe I understand all the steps for that. However, in an attempt to avoid completely voiding my warranty, I was hoping to find a stock kernel that I can flash in case of emergency. It seems as though there isn't one available for Virgin in North America yet, so what's the next best thing? Is KE7 compatible (I'm still a little confused as to whether I need to find a KG2 version or not)?.
One other question, can I root using CF-Root as my phone is now and use the XX_OXA_KG1-v4.1, or is it incompatible due to the fact that my phone is running KG2?
Thanks in advance.
I can't help you with your stock rom question, there's a thread in android dev that has all the stock roms.
To root, just flash the closest cf root kernel, the KG1 one should work ok. You are using one of the 2.3.3 kg2's and kg1 is 2.3.4. If you have any problems you could try the KF2 cf root kernel or one of the .3 kg2 kernels
Samsung are great at mixing around version numbers! We have about 3 diff kg2's!
Once you have flashed vr2.1 I would use the newest ninfetamine kernel (see my sig). It won't autoroot so you may need to use cf root to root.

Thanks for the reply. I hadn't actually heard of the ninfetamine kernel until you mentioned. It there a significant difference between jusing that and just sticking with CF and VillainROM?

I find them a lot faster than cf root with villainrom, its easy to try it out and you can always flash back.
Ninphetamine doesn't auto root so use cf root to root then flash it.

Right, thanks for the correction. That is what I meant, just used the wrong term. Am I right in saying that there is no stock firmware available for Virgin in North America yet, or am I just mission something? I've been frequenting the firmware thread, edit: (linked wrong thread) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928&highlight=canada in hopes of finding it, but nothing for KG2 in North America yet.
Hi I followed several guides to rooting my galaxy s2 but I can't seem to find my kernel online. Maybe I'm just looking wrong where our says kernel version it says: 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EG30-CL435734 child anyone tell me what kernel I need?

Correct root file for KI9 kernel
Hello everybody,
I updated my firmware version trough Kies today, from KF3 to KI9.
As I wanted to root my S2 in order to install MIUI, i searched for the KI9 kernel at Chainfire's thread, but didn't find the corresponding file.
I searched the forum and came up with this :

Unfortunately I can not reply on an developers section of the forum, so i thought this was the best place to ask it:
Which kernel should I use in order to correctly root my phone ?

Your link is bad. Has the ellipses in the URL, so it doesn't link to anything.
I can't find a KI9 firmware for the GT-I9100. What is your full model information?
EDIT: I think I see - XWKI9 looks like it is a carrier branded firmware for Belgium, which is why I didn't find it initially. See this post. (which I found REALLY easily with a Google search)
KI9 kernel
Sorry for the bad link, the thread is called : "[ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH, KI, KJ, KK1/2/5, KL1/2/3, LA2 Download" , and the particular post is from "Crucio_".
My full model information is :
Model : GT-I9100
Android-version: 2.3.5
Baseband-version : I9100XXKI4
Kernel-version : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI9-CL630390 [email protected] #2
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XWKI9
Thx for the quick response
EDIT: The link you reffered to is actualy the same thread I wrote in this post . I just would like confirmation about the KI4 kernel being compatible with the KI9 version.

So long story short, you need the same kernel HeavyLaws needed, the KI4 kernel.
I think i understand
I don't want to keep rambling about this, but I would like to understand how this works.
I noticed that the Baseband-version also ends on KI4, is this of any relevance?
So i guess if you have time, i would like the long story
Thx again
EDIT: doesn't HeavyLaws need the KF4 kernel instead of the KI4 kernel?

Re: HeavyLaws - whoops! You're right. He needs KF4. You need KI4. Sorry about that!
So long story isn't really that long actually. From what I understand, Proximus just took XWKI4, branded it, added their tweaks, and re-versioned it as XWKI9. There are probably more details than that, but I don't really know all of them.
KI9 kernel
I get it
So in theorie, flashing the KI4 kernel should't give any problems cause it's basically the same kernel as the KI9 with some minor tweaks?
Just want to be sure that i won't jam my phone by using this kernel .
Thx for the answers man, I appreciate it

Pretty much, but you can just flash the KI9 kernel back after you get root if you want. Stock KI9 kernel is on this page, just search for the term "XWKI9 Stock Kernel". This will also have the effect of getting rid of the yellow triangle when rebooting the phone.
Hi!
I currently have my s2 rooted and on CM9. My phone is/was the european version GT I9100. I know that region is getting the ICS update on 3/10. Can some one direct me to copies of a stock rom that will be receiving the update?
Thanks in advance!
Since you have already flsahed your phone with CM9 why not just flash the official ICS when it comes out?

They don't expect you to flash the firmware via CWM or Odin. I don't think it will be necessary to flash a stock rom first

I can think of 2 possibilities why it might not work.
-wrong CSC: find your country's CSC and change yours to match. Here and Here
your ROM must have your CSC or a Multi-CSC where your CSC is included.
-"Zombie"-ROM: A ROM patched together from different originals, e.g. a good stock kernel from one ROM with a good modem from another ROM. This shouldn't be, because you took an original from intratech's Thread. But if you want, you can also try this.
I hope this helps.

yes you can but have a look in the general forums and you most than likely find a rooted version of the rom there. or just wait till later on today to flash it when Intratech gets his hands on it and chainfire releases a rooted kernel if there is not one already...have a search
What is new after Intratech gets to it?

probably comes with a bootloader that will not cause any troubles to your phone..think that it is..anyway just look on general section and there is threads there with more explanation and download links were you can download the rom if you so badly want it mate and just ask there if kernel has already been rooted or just check chainfires thread for the latest kernel that is rooted
this is rooted kernel from chain fire for the LPJ

my kernal version is LC1 after searching this forums i did see somebody saying that its non rootable but that was a while back... i want to know if there is any way to root this kernal.

Then bad luck, this is not leaked yet to enable devs to make a CF-root and insecure kernel I think
there is also no original kernel available for this firmware, if you flash someother custom kernel and if something went wrong to go back...
