Hey guys,
How do I root my galaxy s2 with BOLPD Kernel. I can't find any insecure BOLPD Kernels. I've rooted with another kernel yesterday, but it was basicly messed up. Anybody suggestions?
It's the Netherlands version.
It's T-Mobile NL Branded. It is the i9100 version, but with some boot and down animations.
Anybody?

Help! Which file do I use ?
Listen closely, for I will say zis only once!
Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. Note the string present there:
2.6.35.7-I9100XXKG1-CL349526
What matters most (KG1) in this case, is in bold. Try to find the matching file under downloads:
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG1-v4.1-CWM4.zip
The XX and OXA identifiers are not that important. Usually a "KG1" kernel is a "KG1" kernel, and that is that. Sometimes (pretty rare) it happens there will be multiple different kernels with the same name in different firmwares, that are actually different. If this happens, they are usually only very minor changes and you should expect them to still be fully compatible. I include the "XX" and "OXA" identifiers so the very advanced users can deduce from which full firmware I have taken the kernel file.
Don't worry too much, just find the matching download and use it. What if there is no matching download ? You can ask me to make one, but I can tell you right now, I very very rarely make CF-Root's for kernels on request, unless it is the very latest kernel that has been released by Samsung. In the latter case, be sure to let me know. If there's no match and I'm not making one, try finding the closest match. You should treat "KG1" as a number, but instead of 1-9, we have 1-9, A-Z (where A would be 10, and Z would be 35). "KG2" is really close to "KG1", "KF1" is not close to "KG1" at all. I hope that makes sense.

most of the people are rooting their phone for the purpose of flashing Custom ROMS, when they use any method other than rooting custom kernel they wont get CWM, so their next question will be posted How can I install CWM? therefore the best method to suggest for rooting is flashing custom Kernel.
If CF-root is not available for the perticual firmware, there are many other rooting kernels are available for ICS like Siyah, Speedmod etc..regardles of the firmware version number. better to recommend them instead of others....

my suggetion was for those who need CWM, for further flashing options...
You can use other rooting method too...
this is the ODIN flashable siyah Kernel, which will give you rooting as well as CWM.

He was failing to understand/find the Cf root, this is the simplest method.
Plus yes it don't give you the cwm manager or cwm, but you can always use the stock recovery and choose that same cwm to get cwm and flash your ROM.
Plus no triangle and no counter.

I want to root my phone. I have been reading alot of tutorials and posts made here in the forum. Now I think I know enough to root the phone. I am just confused about one little thing; can I flash any cf-root kernal to my phone or I need specific. Help me in choosing the kernal from Hellcat's one.
I downloaded XXKI4 from Hellcat's page but I am not sure. Which CF-root kernal should I flash?
This is my phone details according to Kies:

I had it updated using Kies. I want to know whether I can use any sg2 kernal on my phone or I have to be specific according to my phone details? I think I screwed up big time rooting by installing those updates..

First of all, you have to flash a cf-root kernel with odin using a .tar file. Then you can flash the kernel you want, if it is compatible with your rom. Usually, this is said in kernel thread.. Hope this helps!!

You should read Chainfire's CF-Root thread and use CF-Root kernel for XWKJ2 in 7. post => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root
Good luck !
Flash using the cf-root that matches your stock/current kernel, make a cwm backup, then you can change to whatever Rom you fancy. Me personally i just rooted and removed all the Orange crap and tried a couple of Roms but in the end the phone is that good im happy with rooted stock so restored my backup
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I give up -- I thought I know enough to safely root my phone but it's hard =D. New things keeps coming up..
I just wanted someone to pin point me that this is the cf-root you should be using for your phone details as it is the best for you and with that you can easily install other custom ROMs (I want sensation one) and gain root access ofcourse.
Nevermind, I will keep doing the homework until I crack it up!
ANY help is still appreciated because I have files ready..

Hi i read up on rooting my S2 on this website and youtube and i was confident that i could do it, they all made it sound and look easy.
I went ahead and flashed my Kernel (XWKF3) using ODIN 1.85 and it went through process said successful and rebooted as said but soon as the first black screen comes on saying "SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 GTI9100" it just stays on this screen and nothing else happens.
It is therefore Semi-Bricked, i have tried several kernels and firmware and then it totally bricks, thou lucky i bought a usb jig that puts it back into download mode.
My advice is to be 100% sure and do a lot of research before proceeding and if anyone got an idea what i can do to get my phone working again please let me know
If you chose to use Hellcat's Kernel, then you don't need CF-ROOT Kernel.

Kernel comes "instant rooted", after flashing this kernel your system is completely rooted (su, busybox and the Superuser app).

Just download the Kernel that matches your current Kernel version.
To find out what Kernel you are using, Settings -> About
Else you can just go to Dialer, then *#1234#
The PDA version is also your Kernel Version.
Run ODIN, select the hellcat kernel *.tar file under PDA, then start.
DO NOT REPARTITION
DO NOT ERASE EFS
You say PDA version is your kernal version, it means KJ2 is my kernal version. I can't find the match for this kernal on hellcat's page. Though my Baseband version in 'about' shows XXKI4. Since it's matches the kernal on Hellcat's page, I thought this is the kernal version.
So now I have to find a kernal version for my PDA version? And what is the difference between cf-root and the hellcat's kernals?
Thanks.

my advice to you, being a 2 months old newbie myself, is to read for a few days around XDA. you can learn alot and make sure you don't mess things up.
and get yourself a JIG off ebay ASAP. It's like 2 bucks, and it's worth it.
I myself, flashed CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KH1-v4.1-CWM4 on my SII and than plugged JIG to get rid off the yellow triangle. It was easy. For now I'm running like that on stock to get familiar in android cos this new to me (former iPhone user). After a "test/learning" mode I'll probably flash Galnet MIUI.
my version of device is:
android version 2.3.3
baseband version I9100xxkg5
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100jpkh1-cl453266 [email protected]dell140 #2
build number gingerbread.jpkh1
and that's why I flashed the "KH1" version cos I'm still unsure the other "close/similar" versions I can flash on my device.
If there is an exact version of CF-Root for your version flash that one and follow CFs instructions on the first page of his thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399).
hope this helps. If you have any other specific questions ask here and if I now the answer, I'll help.
cheers.

I have only ever used CF-Root for rooting so I can't comment on Hellcat etc but what I can say is that all the information required for CF-Root is in Chainfire's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
It specifically states how to find out which file to use at the bottom of the very 1st post.
I was totally new to all this rooting and flashing firmware business until I found the XDA forum and I can only speak from personal experience but I have found that as long as you read, read then read again and follow the instuctions to the absolute letter you shouldn't have any difficulties.
Thanks for the tip man but I can't find cf-root KJ2 for my phone. I tried searching and failed. I'll keep looking.
Ive rooted my phone via odin. Flashed cf root kernel kf1 to remove the yellow triangle. But as i was about to flash the rom using cwm recovery mode, its opening up to a "manual mode", hence i cant flash the roms. Any ideas what might cause this?
I have rooted my SGS2 (xwkg1). I didn't know the first thing about it, and found this forum to be the best of knowledge for playing around with my phone.
If you research enough you will find the right post showing a step by step way to root your phone (so easy) and flash ROMs. I am ready to play the ROM game now..
Follow these steps..

I am confused in choosing the kernal for my phone. You see my baseband version shows XXKI4 which matches a kernal back there, it confuses me alot. But my kernal version shows JPKJ2, for which I can't find a kernal. Whole lot of confusion in choosing a matching kernal.. =(
Will GT-I9100_XWKJ2_insecure work for my kernel version JPKJ2?
And I found this kernel too; CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEF_KJ2-v5.0-CWM5.zip

Yes, If you really have a "G", best you check out the previous posters link to the "G" specific thread.
Sorry, can't help you any more than that as not 100% familiar with your model. Don't want to make things worse . G requires different firmware than than the International or T versions that I have.

Thanks to you too. D
HI everyone,
In order to root my phone, i would like to see which method of rooting is better.
After searching in the forum,i found out many ways to root my phone
such as flashing an insecure kernel(siyah)
and using thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
i would like to see the pros and cons of these method,and the way you guys root your phone and the reason.
Assuming you have an I9100 or an I9100T (check the sticker under the battery), CFRoot. So simple even a poorly trained chimpanzee can do it in under 3 minutes (which speaks volumes about the people we get on here who can't manage to do this without having their hand held), installs CWM.
If you don't have an I9100/T; don't know/don't care.
Edit to add - Probably should have posted this in Q&A given it's a question. Besides, you're more likely to get replies in Q&A.
CF-Root very simple with ODIN
or
flash a ROM, many of them come with Root permissions already
Its a question of reading up the methods and the basics .
First to read is XDA rules and dont post questions here .

actually,i would like to flash siyah kernel with resurrection rom after root.
Is it a good choice to me that simply flash siyah kernel for rooting?

To work out which version you need go into Settings --> About Phone in your Galaxy S II, and scroll down to where it says "Kernel version". You will see a string something like this: 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI3-CL571576. The yellow bit after the XX is what you're looking for.
My current kernel does not correspond to this.. what to do?
Default Need help rooting a weird kernel
Just flash back to stock firmware...u can find it in xda...just keep searching

You better take the 'original' guide for CF-Root. Pay special attention to the section titled Help! Which file do I use ?.

You will find your stock ROM and kernel for XWLPD. Flash them. Now, you can use cf_root lpd to get cwm and root or siyah kernel or a temporary cwm, it is your choice

You have full rom (incl kernel) or only kernel
Nordic is fine

Hi Guys,
Now, I'm not the least bit knowledgeable about rooting, mods, or ROMs, or even what they are. All I know is that the two bottom vibrating keys don't work after I had to reinstall a new screen.So I got the Virtual-Button bar, and ended up rooting my I9300 with CWM and SuperSU and Odin.
It's been working great for a few months. Now here's the problem.
I got a software update today, and I didn't even think about it before downloading it. Then when it rebooted, here is what it says.
Virtual Button Bar: Unable to execute as root
CWM: This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-Root v.5.0 or newer. It apperas you are running a different kernel. Various features have been disabled. (Current kernel unknown)
SuperSU: has no apps configured, but I have no way of configuring any apps because I dont have the "right-click" touch-button....
Any ideas on what to do??? I need to either unroot and re-root or find a way to fix it....
Thank you so much!
Sounds like you've lost root access. If so, you can try flashing siyah kernel through odin. This kernel has a handy root/unroot option. Also once its flashed, it auto roots your phone. let me know if this works.
Just FYI: this probably happened because the software update flashed the stock kernel which would have unrooted your phone. Flashing siyah should fix your problem

my device status still says "modified"
I'm just trying to do the emergy firmware recovery through Kies. You think that should fix everything?and then I can start from scratch.

Sorry about siyah thread i should have been a bit clearer. here's a link to the dev's website http://d-h.st/users/siyah/s3. from here you can download "Siyah-s3-v1.5.3.tar" this is the one that you can use with odin. From here, assuming you already have odin on you computer, you can put your phone in download mode and flash this kernel.

it stopped at "setup connection"
actually since you've already rooted the phone once before. y not to root the phone the same way? i guessing you rooted the phone by using cf root right?
Your problem is that the OTA update flash the stock recovery and kernel. Just reflash CF Root and it should be ok.
