My main question : Can I root my S2 Galaxy with CF-Root and the rom free (french operator) in 2.3.6 ?
PDA: I9100XWLA3
PHONE: I9100XXKI4
SCC: I9100FRELA1
1) In this case, should I take the corresponding version in KI4 Gingerbread ?
2) If yes, I saw "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_KI4-v4.1-CWM4.zip" but only in 4.1. There isn't the latest version 5.5 for KI4 ? (source: Official topically on XDA-Dev http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399)
3) There is other things to do after installing CF-ROOT with Odin ?
4) What does KI4 mean ? It's only reserved for firmware Free operator ?
Thanks.

XXKI4 is only the modem version.
For CF-Root the kernel version is important.
And that is in your case XWLA3.
So, CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXA_LA4-v5.0-CWM5.zip will work fine for your phone.
P.S.: I recommend to update to XWLA4 (if you want to stay on GB).
This is the latest GB stock ROM version and was best balanced (performance and battery life) on my phone.
Have a look at my kernel test results => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26775950
Oh okay so i'm in XWLA3.
What, the LA4 will work fine for my LA3 ?
Have you a link for me to find XWLA4 ? Is it in 2.3.7 ? (I just waiting for ICS 4.0.4 because i saw to many people say that battery life and performance is too bad)
Nice your topic, very interesting !
CFRoot thread.
I know the link for CF-ROOT, I was talking about the firmware XWLA4 please

You can get it from Intratech's official firmware thread in the Original Development section, but if you don't have any issues with your current firmware, why not just stay where you are? I'm still on XXKI3, which is 2.3.5, and I haven't flashed anything newer yet because everything works just fine for me. (I'll eventually go to ICS, I'm just waiting until I'm completely confident all the bugs have been squashed...)
Oh, and there is no 2.3.7 for this phone. 2.3.7 was a Nexus S 4g specific update to add Google Wallet support.
You right, 2.3.6 is very good for me at this time.
But are you sure CFROOT LA4 work fine for my LA3 firmeware, no brick after ?

Yes. Read post 1 of the CF-root thread, under where it says "Help! which file do I use ?"
Tkanks ctomgee, I see now, so let's flash !

I just picked up a SGSII from Bell today. I was looking to put the VillainROM on it. From what I understand I need to of as follows:
Use CFRoot XXKG3 (even though my phone is XXKG2?)
Then flash the firmware?
I wanted to make sure.
Thanks!
They mention XXKG3 because they want you to use the latest version. But you should just take the XXKG2 one, because of its compatibility with your current stock rom.

Is it bad to use XXKG3, I rather have the latest?
Hello everyone, currently i'm using the CF-ROOT KF3 kernel but it's 2.3.3 and i'm not getting any updates so i thought it would be better to update the kernel myself, but...
1) On the CF-ROOT page Chainfire said to choose the closest kernel version to the stock, is it just to keep the phone as close as possible to the original or it's a compatibility requirement?
2) As far as i know, CF-ROOT does not change the modem or csc. Are the improvements of the 2.3.5 mostly related to the kernel or to the modem and csc also?
3) Any special "flavor" of 2.3.5 recommended? I mean, there's a bunch of zips in that thread...
Phone info:
PDA: XWKF3
PHONE: XXKF1
CSC: JVKF1
Thanks
Just use the secure one if you don't need the ADB.
The one from my sig works best, IMO, because 4.2 uses SuperUser 3.0, which has some 'issues' as of yet unresolved.
I'd suggest you use XX_OXA_KI3: 2.3.5 4.1
Thanks! Is it better to flash the kernel via Odin or CMW?
Weird, i have used CMW, it rebooted but it's still 2.3.3
Edit: I've tried to install via CMW boot screen and it says Installation Aborted with XX_OXA_KI3

No you can use any kernel if upgrading .
2) As far as i know, CF-ROOT does not change the modem or csc. Are the improvements of the 2.3.5 mostly related to the kernel or to the modem and csc also?
2.3.5 is a firmware package new firmware new kernel new modem.
A kernel is part of the firmware .
3) Any special "flavor" of 2.3.5 recommended? I mean, there's a bunch of zips in that thread...
Pick the one with CSC that matches your location .

Yes but Chainfire states that it's only the Kernel, extracted from the original firmware package, so, is the sound improvement, better battery life, etc bound to the kernel only, or i need the whole package?
And i can't just pick a firmware because my region is still stuck in 2.3.3.

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

What? Your links just redirect to this thread. Please make sure to post the correct ones. Or is my browser bugged or something
Stock firmware in the stock rom thread you looked ??
or via CHECKFUS .
or via Sammobile.com
or via GOOGLE search .
HOLD up you will not get stock ICS with a GB baseband .You can alwzys flash the modem yourself if GB modems work on ICS .
Or are you confused regarding what baseband is ???
jje
JJEgan, checkfus cannot find me any firmware...product code displays "not activated"
Sammobile has nothing for my carrier, only for other carriers in my country...but I guess those would not work for my phone would they?
Indeed I might be confused about what baseband is, I edited the title of this thread in consequence.
Thanks ZACQ8, but I understand well I need to find the firmware file before I can flash it with CWM...my carrier hasn't made ICS available , so I don't how to do?
have you tried forums in your country ?
You are all over the place....

if you are going for XWLP9, which is a Europe release, must have french supported...
Hi ZACQ8, I installed xwlp9 with CWM using the link you provided.
It is great and has French language.
Thank you very much, in the sand and in the stone.
I'm running:
4.0.3
I9100XXLPS
[email protected] #3
IML74K.XWLP7
I am getting a lot of Sleeps Of Death. I'd like to see if another ROM, or perhaps just another kernel, could get rid of it.
I've read a lot on the forum about the different ROM options, but nothing authoritative on whether any ROMs are SOD-free on the S2. Could anyone suggest a ROM to try, or - could I get by with just flashing a new kernel, e.g. Siyah? I am semi-noob so I don't quite know whether it is possible to put just a new kernel on top of what I have.
Thanks!
do a wipe and flash the newer xwlpg lpd lpf

I have had this rom since its release and had no problems at all the only difference is I use Siyah Kernel for SG2 from here http://www.gokhanmoral.com/
If you do want a different rom it depends on your country and you can check that on Sammobile.com firmwares to make sure you do have the latest version

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can't find that in the "Official i9100..." thread - where should I look? Will that ROM work in the UK?

Thanks! I had looked at Siyah but wasn't sure - you have confirmed two things for me: 1) it works with the rest of the stock ROM components, and 2) at least you don't have SOD (I know, no guarantee I won't have them, but I'll give it a go).
As soon as I've had the time to flash Siyah and see if it gets rid of the SODs, I'll report back here (it'll be a couple of days). Thanks again.

Go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
Click the firmwares tab then click the Smartphone link, then the Android link, then your phone model and finally Europe
There is a column headed Country / Carrier the generic UK & Yreland rom was released in April which is LP7 but if you are carrier branded like o2 there is a June release for that which is LPD unless you are carrier branded LP7 is the latest version that covers the UK.
thanks LeifGR ... i m looking for the same thing. but found no solutions yet.... i m from india
