Need help on LP9 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry for asking something that might have been asked many times before but I am using LP9 but am afraid to root with CF Root LP9 because of many bugs. Can I just flash Siyah Kernel.tar on top of stop kernel with odin instead of having to flash cf root first? Thank you!

Yes, you can.

Sorry one more question... Will it make a difference if i flash LPG(is it even compatible with LP9?) first then siyah than if I just flash siyah directly?

You can find odin in intratec official firmware thread inthe developmemt section

Well this, but he wants to use XXLP6 kernel, so replace xxlpb with xxlp6. So just normally using CWM.

3. download the matching cf root version
4. flash it via cwm

No but only a foold does not have a backup of data and most important rule one backup your EFS folder .

How do I backup that???
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
First time i flashed i tried CF-Root kernel but no go, then i tried Siyah kernel, just flash via odin and then i got root and CW Recovery
The latest stable siyah kernel should work fine (they run fine on all stock SGS2 roms as far as i know)
What about speed mod for ics?

But I've read it could possibly brick the phone harder than a boot loop?

If you put the wrong one, it could.
Settings> About Phone> Baseband Version> check the last 3 letters, and I believe yours is LPQ so get CF-Root for LPQ and you should be good. After flashing that with Odin, you should have CWM and root.
Use the efs app to make a backup.

I'm still a little confused on how root my phone.. do I just flash the rooted kernel by chainfire via Odin?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Download the correct file from Chainfire. Unzip it once. Dont unzip it twice. Your looking for the file to end in .tar. Make sure Kies is not running. start Odin as administrater, connect the phone to the pc through USB. ID:COM should show up yellow. Click on PDA. Load the .tar file.
Make sure Re-Partition is NOT TICKED. Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time SHOULD BE TICKED. Press start. DO NOT REMOVE THE USB CABLE till you have a green pass,as this will result in a bricked phone..
How big are my chances to get my phone bricked by using triangleAway??

Rooting S2

Hi! I attempted to root my S2 via a method I found here whereby I flash an insecure kernel then root using S2 root. I followed the guide to the T and still my phone is only ''partially rooted'' according to rootchecker and no root apps could be granted su access.
I am running ICS 4.0.3, Baseband Version XXLPS.
What should I do next or should I accept defeat and leave this phone unrooted? What could I have done wrong?
Thanks in advance for reading.

flash the latest siyah kernel v3.4.1 either from ur recovery (use siyah .zip file) or thro Odin ( use siyah .tar file) and then see
Thanks Sun!
I have downloaded the Tar file. I assume what I do now is flash it onto my phone and retry S2 Root again?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
If you flash Siyah you will be already rooted.
Ah, then perfect. Thank you!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Either I am an uber noob or there is something wrong!
I downloaded the Siyah 3.4.1.tar kernel from gokhanmoral and flashed via odin and the phone sat at the boot screen with the little yellow triangle on it. I left the phone on and running like that for 10minutes.
I flashed my insecure kernel back on from last time (the one I used when trying to root using s2root) and it is fine again.
Anywho I am back to square one! -.-

ok buddy follow this steps to reroot ur phone in a proper manner.
1) Dwnld the official ICS firmware(4.0.3) and flash thro odin
link Here
2) after that please dwnld the Matching Cf- root kernel and flash thro' ODIN
link Here
ur phone will be rooted properly and should wrk fine
ps- read the OP of both the threads carefully and follow the instructions over there to root ur phone successfully
If you only need proper root, no custom or insecure kernels and no yellow triangle, look at the guide in my signature. Worth the try

Hey i had a similar problem. There is a superuser n buybox zip file that you will find on one forum here,that is about basic how to root. Copy those files to your phone then go to recovery and apply zip. I had a hard time with my phone partially rooted but thay solved it

Im trying to get ready though i have a question. What version of odin should i use to flash speedmod? Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Hi,
doesnt matter - both work fine (1.83 & 3 or something like that)
easier to flash via cwm - but try odin first
