CFRoot thread. Read the whole first page & pay particular attention to the section that says 'Help ! Which file do I use ?' in bold red. If you can read/follow instructions, you should be able to root your phone quickly/easily.

You obviously didn't read that section properly. Go back and read it again. The kernel you need is on that page.
And when your done with rereading the section MistahBungle was talking about please fix the title of your thread This will help others having the same issue.

Hello,
To resolve the wifi problem, I put with Odin
First Kernel_I9100XXLPQ insecure
after I put Kernel_I9100XXLPQ secure
Now, I have wifi, access to root, no triangle.
The last problem is CWM, when I opened it I have this message: This version of CWM manager should be used with CF-root v5.0 or newer
CWM opens but I havn't restore and backup menu.
Do I root again with The kernel :
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5
to resolve problem of CWM without having another new problems.
Thanks a lot for your help.

the cwm issue is because u have reflashed the stock kernel after Cf-rooting ur phone, now ur phone even though rooted is having limited access to root
so i would suggest u to dwnld the latest siyah kernel .zip file and flash the same thro recovery to get the latest full wrking CWM with touch recovery

ps- remember the latest one for S2 is v3.3.3d dwnld the same not the one above it which is meant for S3

It seems you finally managed to mess up your system .
I do really not intend to be biting but seriously: at this point (reviewing the history of what happened) I can only suggest you restart from scratch by installing stock firmware. Rooting with CF-root is usually just one step without any side effects, assuming you follow all the good advices given by Chainfire.

I'm sorry, it is not a question orf chaired or another. I was looking how to do to resolve problem,
in google, when I searched for wifi problem there was a post indicating that.
So, to have a phone working, if I well understand, I have to flash with Odin the stock firmare (it means I will loose everything?), whre can I find this stock firm.
After, I rooted with Cf-root for LPF (the one that you have indicated it to me)
I'm really sorry and appreciated you help

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..

cf-root kernel first mate...
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.

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..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Just make sure you get the right kernel for your particular phone.
If you want noob steps. Let me know..

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
Chainfire said XW and the initial doesn't matters if it's KJ2. But mine's JPKJ2

There are several posts which say that CF-Root kernel XX_KI4 and XW_KI8 will work fine on JPKJ2.

Which one now?

Please take time to read as:
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.

Hi guys,
I got my orange samsung galaxy s2 less than a week. Yesterday after rooting, flashing villianrom, i like an idiot, installed Clearglass 1.6 Theme zip via CWM. After rebooting, the phone has now gone into a boot loop. But since i had a nandroid backup (NOT A ZIP FILE!), i thought i'll simply restore...but i can't! The sdcard won't mount. So then i found THIS THREAD.
After following the instructions, i still can't mount the SD Card, yet it's fine in windows 7.
I also thought i'd try to use the ODIN method to reflash my stock fw, but i can't find the correct kernel version . FYI, i'm from uk and the details of my phone are below:-
MODEL: GT-I9100P
ANDROID VERSION: 2.3.4
BASEBAND VERSION: I9100PBVKI2
KERNEL: [email protected] #2
BUILD NO: GINGERBREAD.BVKI3
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME! I can't be without my phone
Not sure what you are asking .
Firmware is not kernel whatever your correct firmware is that includes the kernel .
You have a 1900P whatever the P is .
Find the firmware not the kernel here .
Stock Roms .and csc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Alternative
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero .
Return to service centre .

Thanks for your fast reply JJEgan. Could you please tell me which stock fw/rom i need to download as the only one that looks close to mine (KI3) is a poland one and i'm in UK.

No idea what your firmware is as you have fl;ashed it .
Based on OP KI3
Then use KI4 CPW UK firmware is what i would do to get back to a working phone ,

Many thanks for showing me the correct version. I wasn't too sure as i didn't want to mess up the phone permanently. So i simply follow the ODIN boot loop guide?
The way it looks to me is that CWM/Phone is corrupted as i've tried everything - mount/format/unmount/re-mount sd, but it won't detect.
OH BTW! Can you please clarify something for me. I thought that since my orange stock rom said "KI3", i must always get a "KI3"....have i got that wrong? if so how can a KI4 work on a KI3 and why is it not necessary to stick with KI3?
Hey there wowandroid, the KI* is, in my humble opinion just a revision number, higher could mean better reliability in terms of signal and perhaps even battery drain
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
thanks AJ. It's just that my i9100 is P model (i9100P) and has NFC capabilities. I've managed to flash the phone back with the ki4 rom, so big thank you to JJEgan. I just thought that because i have a p model, i might end up removing features once i flash with a ki4.
Anyway, now that i've got it working, can i go ahead and use odin to flash villianrom/checkrom back again?

checkrom is compactable with every Theme out there if its built for the latest XWKK5 version which checkrom is on!
So first
1)Install ROM
2)Use there Kitchen Download only any one of the themes, and hit apply and then install (Obviously)
OR
You can Download manually from the Forums any theme or any thing for stock XWKK5
3)After a theme install u will reboot.
4)Then use there Kitchen to flash any mods etc u want
Personally i use this via Kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310527

hi guys,
i'm about to get started with the update. couple of questions though:-
1. What kernel do you recommend? I need a kernel which gives it the longest battery life if possible.
2. What theme do you recommend? I need a theme which is good eyecandy, but isn't too bloated. Something like this for the villianrom:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229723
3. Is there a rom posted that has already been customised and tweaked with popular kernels/themes? Saves me messing around.

Hello,
I just got my new Galaxy S2 and want to install the Resurrection Remix Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854)
Since there are soo many topics and threads here, I can't even find the answer I'm looking for with the search bar, so I'm sorry to ask.
I want to know how to install CWM and this ROM, is there a guide somewhere? What's the best way to root it and install CWM?
It would be really nice if someone could post it.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Greezes,
Draygon
just get odin and then flash a rooted and cmw kernel.
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda premium
Well, first thing to do is to get Odin like our friend already said, u can look here in forum for links, u will need the Odin 1.85
After that go to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Its Chainfire kernel, it Root and install CWM and Superuser basically.. he keeps it the most original as possible...
Attention ! Download the version that is compatible to ur ROM Version !
now go to odin, in PDA u add the .tar file from chainfire and select start. (If u dont know how to use Odin completelly, i suggest u to read something about first!)
After its complete the SGSII will restart and it will be rooted, now u can download the rom u want and flash it through CWM...
Remember to read FAQ first...
Thank you button if u like it ! =D
Acutally, the first thing you should do is confirm what model of the Galaxy SII you have, since there are over a dozen variants, some of which are specific to the US. I say this because this is your first post in the Galaxy SII forum, and a brief perusal of your posting history doesn't really give any clues as to your geographical location.
Look on the label under the battery.
Does it say "GT-i9100"?
If so, you're in the right place.
If not, you're in the wrong place, and flashing ANYthing for an i9100 will potentially brick your device.
I got a Galaxy S2 i9100.
Thanks a lot for your great replys,you guys are awesome!!
I know what to do now.

Welcome pal ! This Forum helped me for one year till now, its great to share some experience ! =D
Just have another question because I don't want to brick my new S2:
In this guide which Danpamio posted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I have to look for the right ROM to flash via odin to my S2.
Mine got the "LP7" in the system settings info.
Now, which of there roms do I have to install? What's the difference?
CF-Root-SGS2_DX_XTC_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
Thanks in advance!
This is the safe way, just notice recovery is only there until you reboot, but root stays, still there are instructions how to unroot

If you read the entire thread you are referencing it clearly states:
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.

That should answer your questions.
I Rooted my Brazilian Galaxy SII ICS 4.0.3, following a video tutorial, from this guy on youtube (cant post links cause its my first thread):
/watch?v=6KFgwqE4yoE
Im having a yellow triangle at start screen (Cause its Rooted), but the problem is that I cant install anything on my phone now cause of errors in SDCARD, few games were uninstalled automatically (when i try to run them it appears "The application is not installed on the phone")
The firmware the guy used in the video is different from mine (saw that after rooting :crying: )
I found how to fix, but i cant find my firmware ANYWHERE! Here it is:
3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505

Here i can see how to fix, but i need my firmware.
Is there anyway I can get it? I bought here in Brazil, in google I can only find foreign ones...
Appreciate any help,
Vitor.
Hi,
thats the Kernel not the Firmware
you should be able to flash any Firmware - maybe try it again or follow the xda Guides (try search)

That was fast..
Im gonna search, if i can fix i will reply here.
Thanks,

I searched a bit but how do I flash it? I found few fix like unmounting sdcard, but always see that "flash" thing...
Sorry for stupid question :O
Thanks,
Vitor.
Just click the link - theres a guide
If you are not rooted you flash it via Odin , its quite simple just follow the instructions
Just reflash any stock rom (maybe one nearby your location - just for language issues xD) and look if the problem is still there
Remove the triange via Triangle Away from ChainFire (just apears if you flash a custom rom or kernel, stock s doesnt increase the flash counter)
Yay
Appreciate ur support, I followed the link and fixed!
Working perfectly now
Clicked on that thanks button for u.
Thanks,

Hello professionals. Here is my phone information.
Model number : GT-I9100
Android version : 4.0.3
Baseband version I9100XXLPX
Kernel version : [email protected] #3
I just want to gain root access on my phone without changing my current phone information as I want to install some apps that require root level acess. I've read from CF guide and some other guide that brick bug is an issue when it comes to ICS. I need some advice (links please) regarding my matter. Also, (a very noob question) When I flash, does KIES needs to be opened too?
Just use the ics rooting method by Rachmat3 in my sig.

I am sure you must have read or watched several videos regarding root before you are asking this(if you haven't you must), you must know that since you are running 4.0.3 firmware you aren't effected by that bug, that bug is present only in 4.0.4 firmware, and yes what you asked is a great big noob question as Kies should never be opened and if possible termination of Kies background process is also recommended as Kies interferes with Odin which is the application which you are going to use for flashing your tar file(file needed to root) Sorry for no links i am too lazy to search,
1.for rooting just google or search forum" how to root s2 running 4.0.3 ICS", be sure to select the file closely matching your baseband version "XXLPX"
2.even though you are safe in 4.0.3 you can check whether you have a faulty chip, install "eMMc check" app from play store, if you have a Insane chip at least it will prevent you from upgrading to 4.0.4 stock.

WRONG, u should always suggest them to choose the CF-root kernel based upon the Current stock kernel or the BUILD version not based on the baseband aka modem ma8
PS- in OP's case (Kernel version : 3.0.15-I9100JPLPF[email protected] #3) he has to choose a Cf-root kernel based on LPF

thanks for the information but if i flash an LPF kernel that's intended for i9100 (not GT-i9100) will it also work? i dont see a kernel LPF for GT-i9100. If you know, could you give me link? really thanks!

First of all i am extremely sorry for suggesting to get a kernel matching your baseband version,i did it in the spur of the moment without thinking and i acknowledge that it was a critical mistake, as Sun90 said(thanks so much) you must select your insecure kernel based on the current build version of the kernel you are running, you can easily find JPLPF version insecure kernels,or it must match the last three letters LPF, GT-i9100 is the international galaxy s2 model number and usually just plainly i9100 will be refering to the Gt-i9100 but just check the thread and make sure you dont use the variants like i9100i/M/T..etc
Sorry again for the foolish mistake,was not intentional,i always use pre rooted custom roms and suddenly made the idiotic mistake of suugesting the modem version instead of the kernel built.
And if anybody feels like gloating over this mistake of mine please do, i dont need to prove anything, as it was purely unintentional and a spur of the moment mistake.
