Hey everyone,
so i've rooted my phone once before, and after some time i decided it was time to install chainfire's rom due to my battery drainage.
so i went on over to chainfire's thread and read... and read.... and read... downloaded all the jizz. and eventually i got down to the odin part. it was hanging at a specific step. anyways i read... again and realised that my firmware supported a very old recovery tool that didnt work so great. so i got back down to the site and read some more, and eventually got down to installing a new firmware (still confused with firmware vs kernel... but anyway)...
i went down to sammobile. and voila got a 4.0.3 firmware nice! but then... root was gone, and like my rooted apps that installed requested it needs to be rooted first. so i was like (EFFFFFF) anyway.
so i began searching again on how to root, and yes i know i need an insecure kernel... but where on earth do i find this thing.
i noticed that on sammobile they have kernels (or is it firmware, jeez all these names )... and i noticed that some of them have hash signs (##) next to them, does that mean it's insecure? i read somewhere that the star (*) sign means incomplete (it's an update rather)...
so please, someone, anyone, please help...
all i wanna do is install chainfire's rom

thanks in advance guys...
Just download and flash via odin the cf root kernel for LPQ which is compatible with LP7 (use the latest version 5.4 referred to as proper it is a bug fix version). This will give you root and cwm.

Hello,
I've tried to search the forums/google for this, but am still left a bit confused.
I have been following the `Samsung Galaxy S II: Full Update Guide' on the CyanogenMod wiki, and have got as far as successfully installing ClockWork Recovery.
At this point i have been made aware of the eMMC brick bug, and have found out that i have an insane ship. How do i continue to safely flash my S2 to CM9.

First install a custom kernel, like siyah or dorimanx either via Odin, or since you have CWM Recovery, you could use that too. Then you can safely flash CM9. Once you're off the stock kernel, the emmc bug wont affect you.
Download siyah v4.1.5 from here (note: v4.1.5 only.)
Use the tar version if you're installing via Odin, or the zip version if via CWM. Both are safe.
Good luck.
Thanks for your help
I installed the custom kernel (3.0.15-Siyah-s2-v4.1.5+), and then successfully installed CM9.
Hi,
had my S2 for a while now and installed ICS through ODIN as here in NZ the updates seem to come a little slower than the rest of the world!
but id like to be on Jellybean and heard so much about unsafe Kernels etc (most of it goes over my head haha)
but i figure my best option, as i dont want a bricked phone, is to go back to stock and get my updates the old fashioned way.
what is the best way to do this? i know other phones can do this through KIES itself...(entering a serial etc), does this work with all phones?
any help would be greatly appreciated!
ICS 4.0.4 stock kernel has brick bug. If you are on stock 4.0.4 then avoid any kind of wiping. If you want to flash official JB go here
Hi friends I own Galaxy s 2 i9100....I got it from UK 3 mobile.. After coming to India I have flashed it with a ROM which is unlocked version as its is locked to 3 network...after the flashing I connected it to kies for backup and found the same message as others in this thread mentioned...so I tried reflashing it with a ROM that is compatible with Indian version and got the issue solved ...I am providing the details of the rom now I am using

But recently KIES software in my laptop got updated and when I connected my S2 it stated that my phone is not compatible to update from KIES. But, the same day when I connected wifi in my phone I got a message that an update is available and its done successfully.
Now can any body help me to get that issue sorted out when connected to KIES as it accepted before and now why it is not accepting ??
Thanks in Advance

thankyou! very helpful...now that i have read that entire post i just have one question....isnt that still classed as a wipe? the first thing it says to do is put your phone into recovery mode then wipe?
Flash Siyah or Dorimanx kernel first (without wiping ANYTHING). Then use the CWM that is installed with either of those to...
A) complete the wipe processes. And
B) flash your chosen stock ROM.
When you flash your ROM, you WILL overwrite the Siyah or Dorimanx kernel you previously flashed as your ROM has its own kernel (and CWM). As things stand at the moment, this is probably for the best because there have been some changes to CM10.1 that have made a lot of standalone custom kernels incompatible with the ROM..... for example, I lost my baseband when I flashed Siyah on top of CM10.1 and I'm told that there can be issues with video recording too. Which brings me to make one more point....before starting any of this...
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP....
it's your safety net if it all goes wrong (personal experience is a brilliant teacher lol).......

Hi.
Is it possible to root using this method even though it is for stock ? The phone as the Orange (UK) branded firmware and locked to Orange obviously and is running the latest Android. Would it be possible to root if I went into the recovery mode and flashed it with PhilZ-cwm6–x.xx.x-signed.zip Even though the build number and kernel is this?

Android Version: 4.1.2
Also if this will work and not brick the phone what/where can I get the roms for this ?
Hi, I don't see a package that exactly matches your build (XXLSS) but from what PhilZ says in his OP, an XW package is interchangeable with an XX build.....so look for XWLSS and you're good to go. Choose the zip rather than the tar as the tar CANNOT be flashed in stock recovery. I've used PhilZ a couple of times on 2 different S2s without any issues. And in terms of what ROM to flash afterwards......the choice is yours....that's the whole idea of custom....try it and see, and if you don't like it, try something else. You have hybrid roms, aosp roms; aokp roms......allsorts.....
But please don't ask anybody to recommend a specific rom, that question is against XDA rules.
Just remember to read as much of the thread for your chosen rom as you can, and most importantly.....
FOLLOW EVERY STEP OF THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER. They're there for a reason........
Search, read, learn, understand.....
And then and ONLY then....do it....
Remember that, and it'll all be good

PhilZ-cwm6 which version
Hi,
I have a samsung gallaxy S2 and I am rather confused which version of PhilZ-cwm6 kernel to use. I am wanting to use the most current version possible and I am not sure what version that is nor kernel code. I am wanting to root stock android. When I flashed from stock ICS to JB I used the following offical rom XFC-I9100XWLSS-20130817002141.zip and see below for attached screenshot of my phone details, there are differences in the kernel numbers which is causing confusion. I hope that is all the info that is required. Thank you so much in advance for your reply.
hi all
i need to know which version of kernel best for rom >> I9100XWLSD << ?
I have a GS2 I9100XWLSW, suffering the EMMC brick bug. Still with original kernel, and recovery. Rooted with Framaroot.
I'd want to install Philz in order to install either Omnirom or Cyanogen.
I have seen in the Philz's original thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31310884&postcount=3 ) the link to my PDA version (v5.06.1 ). However on goo.im ( http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100 ) I can find a higher updated version (v6.48.4), however this one has no description assuring me that's the correct file for PDA LSW. Is it, also considering my EMMC bug? Or maybe it's just the recovery, without the kernel? If that's the point, then WHERE I can find the latest kernel+recovery for my phone?
Also, which install method should I prefer: update through the zip file, or flash through Odin? First one seems easier, but I heard that it may have problems installing certain Cyanogen versions from the Philz's temporary recovery. I'd want to install Lollipop from either Omnirom or Cyano as soon as they become reasonably stable.. also, Philz v5.06.1 comes with CWM 6.0.3.2, but isn't CWM 6.0.4.4+ required to install KitKat or higher?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I also noticed that some zip files are marked LSW-XEU, while others are LSW-OXX.. how do I know which is mine? Actually the complete details of my phone are:

Hi,
What you are looking for is the kernel code in the rom build. On mine I can see it under "About device" at the end of build number - I9100XWLSH, it is the XWLSH part you are looking for. You can also see it if you download terminal emulator from the playstore. Just run the terminal and type getprop and press enter. Scroll up until you find [ro.build.PDA]: this is the rom. Again it is the last part of this you need. Hope this helps

I'm not sure I understand, but if you are talking about the stock rom, you should get the latest version for your region. If you want a rooted version of stock I would choose one that has a modified kernel available from the ones @Phil3759 developed. That is, the ones under the latest version in the main thread

The listed files are not kernels, they are updated recoveries. To root your stock rom, you need to find the the kernel below the latest recoveries and match the rom to the kernel code as described in the main thread. You can then flash the latest recovery, then reboot into recovery if you want to for example flash a kitkat or lollipop rom. The older recovery embedded in the modified kernel won't be compatible with these later android versions

Download Philz Kernel in .tar format and instal it over Odin 3.0.7 ie than whwn boot up, download on ur internal or better external sd card kernel and recovery(sometimes it is the same one file) and restart ur mob in recovery and instal that new/old recovery which u previosly got before boot loop or bricking... than reinstal ur system or if u have backup just restore it,. Important part is that u need same Recovery u did before U braked up Ur system... Ask 4 more
