yes you can flash it from ODIN
if you have flashed a stock kernel you remain unrooted,
if you have flashed a custom kernel with rooting, you phone is rooted

Thanks for the replies i updated the wifes sg2 with the official ots ics and have nothing but probs with wifi so i thought about trying to flash a custom kernal like syahs

The error is probably with the rom and not with the kernel, because with the stock rom works perfectly...
After flashing this kernel my neo v gets rooted on .62 stock ROM ....
but will this rooted ROM work if i change the kernel to something else like nightelf stock kernel .... ???
or have anyone tested it yet ???
let me know ....

Root privileges are integrated in this kernel.So you will not stay rooted almost for sure, if you flash another kernel which is not prerooted...

You will be able to update normally to ICS using PC companion, but to be ablolutely sure, you better relock your bootloader before the update...
@bbooff: few days ago I flashed ICS beta from sony page, and I used your kernel for hot boot just so I can install zip with superuser stuff.
Today I flashed stock .62fw, and wanted to hot boot with your kernel, but no luck, I needed to flash it in order to boot into CWM.
You got any idea why id did cooperate on ICS and not on clean .62
Also I couldn't do factory reset while I was using your kernel. I guess that is kinda normal as it's not stock kernel, but still I thought it should work

I have no idea!
The opposite is what should had happened.
I think that if you reinstall 0.62 (using flashtool and not wotan) and then my kernel, everything will be o.k.
If you install a custom kernel, you can do a factory reset through the cwm menu.

Actually I did used flashtool.
After I flash your kernel I can enter cwm. problem is if I try hot boot it.
and about factory reset, I know we can do it via recovery, but is it normal that we can't do it from phone?

fastboot boot boot.img
it allows you to boot with kernel without flashing it.
your kernel is very good.... simple and easy... helped me restore my phone back...
But now i am facing one more problem...
whenever I try to install any other kernel through fastboot, that kernel does not work; instead your kernel starts booting up...
Can you please throw some light on it?
Thnx

[Q]Stock ROM

Recently , i have been watching some Cyanogenmod 9 ICS 4.0.3 ROM video and it seems to be cool. Well my question is if i flash the Cyanogenmod ROM , can i re-flash the stock ROM that i had?
And is it safe to flash a custom rom?

Cool as in not overheating ???
a wipe and flash of stock rom will remove custom rom .
Root and custom roms void warranty and have a slight risk of bricking the phone .
But are usually recoverable .
You need to read the faqs and guides and understand the CM9 instuctions first .

to flash cynogen rom first u have 2 root ur phone please find the thread in original devlopment section regarding the same
u can reflash ur stock rom by dwnld the releavant .tar file adn flash the same thru odin
You can re-flash the stock rom, but just be sure to know which one is your stock rom. Go to settings, about phone and record the info there to be safe. Also back up your current rom using CWM.
There are always some risk in flashing a rom. Some people dont read instructions and cause problems on their phone, some people flash a rom not built for their phone (i9100 VS i9100G), etc.
Yeah i have rooted my device with cf-root. Thanks guys , i'll read some guides about cyanogenmod and flash it.
If your are currently on GB stock rom, Cyanogenmod developer recommends to install ICS bootloaded first,
You should be able to reflash your Stock ROM veriosn from ODIN, as well as custom roms from CWM...
What is bootload? o.o
My current firmware is ICS LP7

No they say to have below some specific ics boot loader, no mention of upgrading your gb boot loader, unless they changed it.
Plus I yet to had any issues with the latest ics or gb bootloaders..

I think he meant boot loader.
But since you already have ICS, you won't need it. Just take the latest CM9 nightly (or ROM based off it), and flash (you'll have to wipe cache data and dalvik too eventually). Make sure you make a full backup of your current stock ROM through CWM as well.

I refer this guide actually : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20841817&postcount=1
I dont know its outdated,
as others are sharing their experiance that you could flash CM9 straight away from your CWM since you are already on LP7 with ICS Bootloader.....
I don't get it... What is a bootloader?. I mean when i flashed with ICS LP7 i didn't put a file on bootloader. I just loaded the PDA .tar file and flashed it..
Soo that means that i have to reflash the stock rom with bootloader?

I dont know the ICS package you flashed had an ICS Bootloader already...
I just gave you the link for Original CM9 developers guide...
Just wait for others recommendation who have already flsahed CM9 from CWM....
Hmm thanks . But i have read in the guide that i can flash it with odin , do i still need the bootloader?

[Q] Flashing Stock ICS Firmware while on a Custom ROM

Hi All,
I installed a custom ROM (HYBROM v17) on my XMP a couple of weeks back. I now want to flash the just released stock ICS firmware to my device.
Will this cause a problem? Do I have to install the Stock ROM before flashing the ICS firmware?

If you want to flash the ftf of 4.0.4 using flashtool, you can do it right away. Check

For more info.
Thanks,

Hit Thanks if I helped in anyway.
Thank you but my concern is whether I will face any issues installing ICS firmware while on a Custom ROM that, if I remember well, cited that it is based on .62 firmware.

Basically flashtool will clear the rom on your phone and install the ICS fw on it.
Including baseband and kernel.
So if you have GB on it with .62fw, it does not matter.
The thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1690704 already answers your questions about upgrading to ICS.

Great if that's true! Thank you so much
This will work
I can confirm that going from Hybrom V17 to the stock ICS works nicely.

No need to DOWNGRADE
No need to ROOT
All the four custom kernels you mentioned above are pre-rooted with pre-installed CWM
Just flash them!

My Problem isn't in rooting or downgrading
I just want to know whether custom kernel will make me gain root with out the need to push stuff like SuperUser and BusyBox to phone
Thanks Buddy:good:
As For Downgrading it's not Needed to downgrade the hole rom
just flash an older stock kernel ,root it then flash the default kernel
see Sony forums

Yeah after flashing the firmware via odin ur phone will be unrooted
That 'exynos exploit' by 'chaingire' can also be used to root XXLSJ in just one click, without any flashing etc.

Hi I hope someone on here can help me...
I recently flashed my girlfriends sgs2 (via odin pc) with the new XXLSJ jelly bean leak. Because its not 'officially' released we have to use Philz kernel, is that correct? I basically want completely stock and the update WITHOUT ROOT AND YELLOW TRIANGLE...
Is this possible?
I myself have the same phone and have custom rom based on this leak and Philz kernel, but for some reason have no triangle? ?
So, I want...
- Jelly Bean Stock rom
- No Root/Triangle.
Thanks. ..
Maybe I should have waited for the official release..

When u flashed that leaked firmware, ur phone was already in stock but with TW 5 unrooted condition.
Secondly, for that triangle problem....Use the 'triangle away' app from play store.
Also, if u want official update then for few weeks more :/

Cool. I've heard some stories of hardbrick when using that app... but will most likely wait for the official update
