It does, actually. There's a section in post 1 as follows:
But where are the files going, you say?
.PIT -> PIT
APBOOT -> BOOTLOADER (or PDA if flashed alone)
CODE -> PDA
MODEM -> PHONE
CSC -> CSC

Taken from the site u mentioned:

APBOOT -> BOOTLOADER (or PDA if flashed alone)
CODE -> PDA
MODEM -> PHONE
CSC -> CSC
***If you have a 1 file .tar package, then flash it in PDA***

He still has to figure out how to parse the filename himself...
Which I personally thought was obvious. But some don't find it that obvious.
I look at it more like I put the spoon in the food for him, and now it's up to him to get it to his own mouth.
My hope is posts like mine (and Bruce MJ's) help guys like muzzyx with the critical thinking, and learn to read entire posts before just jumping into stuff they don't necessarily understand.

Yeap, seems that İ missed that part of the thread... İ have been trying to restore my phone the WHOLE DAY and have done allot of reading so my concentration was not 100% there when reading the read. İ nearly fried my brain trying to understand how Odin and flashing works. Finally İ managed to work it out and got my phone back up and running. İ seem to have lost my ROOT access though? Why has this happened?

Because you re-flashed a stock firmware during the course of your fix, if you followed that guide correctly. You'll have to re-root. Root does not persist firmware flashes, unless the firmware you're flashing is pre-rooted.

Flash a stock kernel = lose root. Flash a CFRoot kernel or root your phone again via another method. Or flash a custom rom/kernel.

Odin is a must if you plan on rooting a fascinate, read, read and read so more. By the way make sure when using odin you flash in pda not Phone or you will have a $500 paper weight. And this definitely should have been posted in general.

Yeap. Done. Had issues with Modern Combat 3 lagging in Singleplayer. Hmm, btw, any guides to unroot? Just in case I needa claim warranty
Good man
If you ever need to unroot, in case you have to send the phone in for warranty service or whatever, find your firmware in this thread or if you can't find anything specific to your carrier use the most recent one for your country from here and flash in Odin.
Do a factory reset just to make sure there's no apps laying around on the phone that might tip off whomever repairs it (Samsung) that you've been running non-official firmware on it, and get a jig from eBay to reset the flash counter (do a search for "Samsung Galaxy S2 jig", costs a couple of bucks).
Not sure about the MW thing as I've never played it, hopefully someone else might come along and offer a hand (Maybe change the title of your thread ?).

If theres any award for XDA's most helpful member, think you deserve it. Thanl you so muchhhhh. Really appreciate it
Awwww You're much too kind.
No worries, as long as you read up & follow the instructions for flashing a rom/kernel you should be able to handle things just fine, and given you nailed the CF Root thing first go without any dramas (which is a pretty fair effort, a lot of people who post here seem to have problems with it ), I'm sure you'll ace anything you have a go at

Flash the kernel on it's own. Hard to say why the kernel didn't take when you flashed the full firmware.

flashed the tar.md5 file. Am i suppose to remove the .md5 and change it to tar?
No. Don't have to remove the md5 bit. If you've tried flashing the kernel on its own in the PDA section of Odin as per my last post, try re-flashing the entire rom.

You downloaded & flashed the "official" firmware as per your post on the first page, didn't you ? If you've already tried flashing the stock kernel as I'd suggested & that didn't unroot your phone, try flashing the whole stock package you downloaded again.

Ok, im on stock rom. What I did was to flash the kernel for root. Firmware wasnt touched. So, erm I have to reflash the entire rom. Any links I can refer to? I'm from Southeast Asia - Singapore
I gave you the links to official firmware on the first page. Yes. I told you how to unroot the phone on the first page with those links :-| I'm not going to tell you which firmware to flash, you should be able to work that one out yourself given you mentioned your original firmware on page one as well.

[Q] yes ive searched, no i cant find any help....

i want to root my phone and ive been trying for 2 hours, I CANT find the kernal I need, xwk14 insecure.

Seems either you cannot follow instructions or something .
Find your kernel match as near to a cwm kernel as per the instructions flash with Odin = rooted whats the problem .
Why do you want root when you are having extreme difficulty with the very basics and dont seem able to or want to read and understand anything at all .
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 ?
Instructions - ODIN (long)
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
-

I don't know why I'm bothering to respond to you considering your behaviour in this thread, but I'm just going to go out on a limb here and guess that you're not on K14 at all, and are in fact on KI4.
If that is indeed the case, the download links in JKay's thread work perfectly well for both the themes and the V13.1 settings APK.
I wish there was a "vote to ban" button, because you're a fidiot, and no that's not a typo. This community has no place for people like you.
Can't believe you made me sign in just to reply to this... But you sir are a total ****, People like you that can't understand simple instructions and follow rules and guidelines do not belong on this earth. Your IQ must be around 5 if that. Why you would even want to root your phone i don't know. Because anything from now onwards will be a little bit more complicated than simple rooting, (Installing a ROM etc.)
So please, do us all a favour and leave this forum, everything you could possibly need is in the search function.. But it sounds like you need a search function just to find the search function...

Several methods, but if no success, then you are apparently doing something wrong. What methods, and what are you doing, exactly? Easiest method to root is to flash a CF-Root kernel. From what it looks like, you'll need the KJ3 CF-Root kernel.

You can update to ICS any time you want, and you probably should do this first before rooting, unless you want to root twice. (root once for GB, then update to ICS, then root ICS - because you will lose root once you update to ICS anyways)
Looks like you are new here, and have some reading/learning to do to figure some things out.
Start here for stickies with a wealth of information.
Really, there are no short-cuts. Short-cuts lead to missed steps. Missed steps lead to bricked phones.
As ctomgee said. Describe what you have done
Hi ! Thanks for you answers. yes Im beginner and new on the forum
Ive downloaded a BUKJ3 kernel and install it with the odin and s2root method but apparently the kernel was secured so nothing done :s Ive tried too to root it with the CMW.zip in the the sdcard and to start in recovery mode always nothing.
Ive found a method using SuperOneClickv1.9.5 but haven't tried cuz Im not sure its safe.
* I would like to update it to ICS before rooting but how ? :s

hh Yes friend Im reading right now
Im just confused about some details and Im afraid to done something wrongly.
the problem is that I cant find a similar kernel of my fone. can i use any other one ?
are you willing to Root first? and searching a CF-root for that?
then pick it up : http://download.chainfire.eu/52/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KJ3-v5.0-CWM5.zip
Ive downloaded it and puted it in sdcard and lunched it from recovery mode but : verification failed. have I to unzip it before copying in fone memory ?
If you can show me how to update it to ICS and root it after it would be so nice.
Thanks for your help.
LOL.......
You have to read read read read There is no substitute for READING for COMPREHENSION
Have you ever used ODIN? if not please learn it first,
the file I sent was for ODIN flash, because your phone is not rooted yet to flash zip from recovery, you have to unzip it to get a TAR file and to put in PDA section of the ODIN.
but please read more
Okay mister ahmed.
your absolutely right I just ask for advices before manipulating in the fone. yeh I know how to use odin. It exists a method where the flash is maked on recovery mode thats why Ive asked that question.

*facepalm*
Odin flashes are in download mode, not recovery. You have a lot more reading to do.
You have the kernel needed from the link posted previously.
1. Unzip the kernel and keep the tar file.
2. Set your phone in download mode by pressing vol down + power button.
3. Run odin and connect your phone to the PC while in download mode.
4. once odin sees your phone, click PDA and link to the tar file
5. Press the magic button and that should do it really.
Here is the link that says it all:

If you have a galaxy s3 I9300 just flash the Siyah kernel. It will Root your device and you can make some nice adjustments in the STweaks App. Why it didn`t work with the chainfire Kernel I don`t know. What did Odin say exactly?
You could try to flash it with Odin 1.85, It`s the most common used one.

Siyah gives you more control over the Kernel, so that you can make several adjustments (like over or underclocking of the cpu, so you have better batterylife), while CF auto Root sticks to the Stock Kernel with just Root enabled.
Did you enable USB Debugging before flashing with Odin?
Yes usb debugging is on
Status normal does not necessarily mean you're not rooted.
Try and install a root app. E.g..titanium backup...

Try Odin 1.85, I have read several cases where people had problems with Odin 3.x and it worked with 1.85

He said that Odin failed to flash CF Auto Root, so I don`t think he is rooted, if it failed to flash.
Just out of interest, which device do you have?

Are you sure you have the right file for your phone, and did you read and follow instructions of what to do if the root doesn't "take" first time (re-flash auto reboot unchecked/reboot recovery to trigger installation)?

Its not obvious that's why the question was asked . Enough numptys on here with the wrong phone who flash the wrong files as they don't bother reading .
Why don't you start at the beginning and read the basic faqs and guides instead of rushing straight to bricking your phone >>First question why do you want root ???

Ok no one is rude here, but if you were familiar with the XDA Forum then you would know that there are many guys who ask questions like you do and some of them just flash random stuff that is not even intended for their phone and then come asking for help. You are not special and no one knows what experience you have with flashing something on your phone or if you even read the Chainfire thread.
Then second it`s CyanogenMod and not Cyangene mode
third: I already explained to you the difference between CF Auto Root and the Siyah kernel and if you want a kernel that saves battery then flash the Siyah kernel and make adjustments to your CPU/GPU, there are enough tutorials in here on how to achieve greater battery life with a kernel that supports adjustments like underclocking. There are also other Kernels like Perseus that enable high customization to the Kernel that you just don`t have with a Kernel that is fully Stock.
Also did you try all the tips that we gave you?
- Turn everything off that has to do with Kies
- Download Odin 1.85 and use it instead of Odin 3.07
- make sure you have USB Debugging on

If you want help I suggest you answer the questions I placed in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40429120
Secondly, as already stated, nothing is obvious....if you want people like me to help you then I suggest you just answer the questions so I can eliminate potential problems
In this forum I have seen 3 cases of wrong kernel flashes in the last 48 hours alone
If you can't help me to eliminate potential problems for you then I won't bother to help, simple.......so please answer the two questions that I posted
