Hi was looking for some help with an issue.
I am running unbranded ICS 4.0.3 with root access.
IML74K.XWL7
Kernel:: 3.0.15-1900XWL7-CL340913 [email protected] #3
I have some moisture damage so cannot connect via usb to use odin pc.
I'm trying to get CF-Root kernel so I can use CWM to flash RR 2.6.1
I select the tar CF-Root file : CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5 from "open file" and then select flash firmware, it says its flashing kernel and then resets the phone as if it has worked but the kernel remains the same, it hasnt worked.
What am I doing wrong here? Never had a problem with Mobile Odin before.

You can try flashing a zip file in stock recovery that will give you temporary Cwm. From that you can flash any kernel you want.
And I have no idea where to get that file...

I had soft bricked my phone yesterday. Thank god I recovered finally but I'm stuck with an insecure kernel. Devs, can you guide me what should I do next?
It starts like this:
1. Updated my phone's firmware to KF3 (official) yestreday.
2. Then, Installed an insecure kernel, "GT-I9100_XXKG1_insecure" from this thread:
[KERNEL] Insecure Kernels for use with rooting
3. Rooted my SGS2. Success. (used this tutorial)
4. Now flashed the leaked 2.3.4 firmware from this thread:
Updating to 2.3.4 firmware - if you don't want to root
5. Now I needed to root again since I had just updated my firmware. The boot screen still had that yellow sign so I supposed I'm still on an insecure kernel. So I opened S2 Root and tried to root it but it was stuck in the middle of the process so I cancelled it.
6. Then, I again opened Odin and flashed a secure secure kernel from that same thread.
But instead of using Odin 1.83 as it was mentioned, I used 1.85. I don't think this could do any harm. But Odin failed to flash that kernel and my phone was stuck in a boot loop.
The phone didn't go further the boot screen with a yellow sign at the bottom. I was able to enter the download mode but NOT the recovery mode. So wiping the phone was not an option.
Then I decided to flash that 2.3.4 firmware again and this ****ed up my phone. Odin failed to flash it and my boot screen was then replaced with that infamous screen saying that the FIrmware Upgrade encountered an issue etc.
I thought I've bricked my phone but was finally I was able to recover again by flashing that insecure kernel again.
I think I created a problem in step 5 and 6. But I'm afraid to go and flash a secure kernel again. People help me?
You first flashed the insecure KG1 kernel and then the KG1 (2.3.4) FW ROM?
Wrong order AFAIK, but nothing that could harm your phone.
Try it once more, all over again from step one (this is also how I installed and rooted 2.3.4 KG1 over my (CF rooted) KE2 before CF-Root for KG1 was released):
Go to downloadmode, fire up Odin, connect everything, put the "CODE_I9100XXKG1_CL349526_REV02_user_low_ship.tar" into PDA and the "GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKG1.tar" into CSC.
doublecheck nothing else is selected (no repartition, not PIT and all that)
Hit "Start" and watch the show roll....
after the flash, the phone should reboot into recovery, do some stuff and reboot again into the OS - all userdata is wiped during this flash, so IMO no manual wipe via recovery required here
now flash an insecure kernel and apply root using SuperOneClick or similar tools, or perform the the few step required manually via adb (that's what I did) - or simply flash CF-Root for KG1 instead of a plain insecure kernel (I'd suggest CF)
if you want back to stock kernel now (if you have CF, why would you? ) flash the KG1 stock kernel via Odin
This procedure worked perfectely fine for me.
If Odin keep failing to flash in download mode, there might be some connection problem, maybe.
Try reinstalling the USB driver, connecting to a different USB port, not using a USB hub if you previously did....
@OP- Flash with CF's rooted kernel. It's a lot easy and hassle free. Why insecure kernel?

Umm okay, I'm a beginner in rooting so I hope you don't mind if I ask you some help? Do I need to download the KF3 firmware again? I've reached my FUP and it'll take more than a day for me
Is it possible to go ahead somewhere right now? I just want to remove that insecure yellow triangle sign from the boot screen. Any secure kernel to do this job?

No, you don't have to redownload any FW if your fine with the one you currently have.

Sure. If your root is working already and you just wanna go back to stock (secure) kernel, you can find the stock kernels for most, if not all, firmwares here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Pick the right one, matching your firmware and flash with Odin - done
Saketme said:

CF would be best option IMO.
First flash the CF kernel - again watch out it perfectly matches your FW.
On first CF boot it'll install it's CWM app, after that flash the stock/secure kernel to get rid of the triangle.
You can then re-flash the CF kernel with the CWM app without the triangle comming back

I can't find KG1 in that list. Although there is KG1 listed under ZSKG2 but that's for "GT-I9100T".
Should I use the stock kernel given in this thread instead:

This sounds the best option. But one question, before flashing with CF kernel, should I flash with stock kernel or flash CF directly on top of my current insecure kernel?

Should be fine flashing directely over whatever kernel there is at the moment, as it get completely replaced anyways.
Just make sure its the KG1 CF and no Kies crap running in the back while running Odin (use Taskmanager to kill them all).

After rooting my phone everything was great but then my usb port started to malfunction so to get it repaired i needed to remove root and CWM, after flashing the stock rom (XWKI4) root still shows under kernel version and CWM and superuser still remain.
Am i doing something wrong? I have CF-root with CWM mod my phone info is...
PDA:I9100XWKI4
PHONE:I9100XXKI1
CSC:I9100CPWKH1
any help much appreciated...
Factory reset and or flash a stock kernel .
jje
I've tried factory reset and flashed stock via Odin. :-( I'm using XWKI4 pda
Then you are doing something wrong as stock flash changes kernel and removes a rooted kernel . use a different download or firmware .
jje
Should I be using just the pda section of odin or csc and phone too?
Should I try a different firmware for my phone to see if that works?
bubba949 said:

Follow the instructions from the relevant thread you are getting the firmware from depending upon how many parts are to be flashed .

It's a limitation created by Samsung in the new leak that disables secure storage whenever a kernel not Signed by Samsung is used.

You could flash stock kernel after rooting.

Are you on LP6 firmware?
This is how I rooted ics:
1 Flashed latest ics XXLPH via Odin.
2 Rooted with cf-root.
3 Installed mobile odin.
4 Copy the Code part of XXLPH to phone sd.
5 Open mobile Odin and select kernel, navigate to Code file.
6 Select Flash Firmware.
Might be an easier way but that's what I did.

I have the same issue with the official firmware ICS LPQ 4.0.3 + CF Root.
Why do you need the Mobile Odine ?
Isn't possible to use the classic odin which runs on the PC ?
Hi all,
I've just fixed this issue.
Solution is this: You need to install new CF kernel version 5.4 recently updated. With this update you could download your apps from Google Play.
ChainFire said:
"ro.secure is also set to 1 again, because some apps check for this and refuse to run otherwise. I have patched ADB to run as if ro.secure was set to 0, though, so you still have root from ADB shell, and ADB remount also still works."
Mirror to CF Kernel 5.4:
http://goo.gl/Y8TFm (MediaFire)
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.tar (it includes root, busybox, CWM Manager and new SuperSU 0.80)

Agreed the new Kernel version is working, I only had one app that was refusing to install, It works now. I installed the new one post installing the new Omega 5.0 ICS Rom.

Hello
I tried hard to install CWM but couldn't
I got the cf-root from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
downloading and trying both CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEF_KJ2-v5.0-CWM5.zip
and CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEF_KJ2-v4.4-CWM4.zip
thinks you may need to know:
-I updated my device to 2.3.5 using kies
-my Kernal version 2.6.35.9-I9100JPKJ2
-I root the device using: SuperOneClickv2.3.3
- when I used the odin to download the CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_KI4-v4.4-CWM4.zip couldn't transfer data to device
So I don't know what to do?
You could use mobile odin as you have root
Sent from my sgs2 running cm9 using xda app
just odin any rooted kernel like siyah or speedmod, they come with CWM
Exactly, Set your phone in "download mode"
connect to odin
and flash by choosing the kernel tar file as PDA
thanks for replay
But I used the stock one and I would like to keep it
As far as I know, you need to flash whole kernel if you wan't to get cwm

I am about to install the international S2 JB ROM, and want root. The solution I have seen so far is the Siyah Kernel (6.0b4/5).
My question is this: If that kernal installs root, will I lose root if I change back to the official kernel that is inside the Firmware download (zImage)? What I might need is the CF-Root kernel, but I can't find it for JB (yet). Is it just a case of waiting for this?
I'm not familiar with ADB but am willing to teach myself, if this would help once I change to the siyah kernel (have looked at the quick root guides here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278) but all the downloads are flagged by both Chrome and Avira if I do decide to continue past the chrome warning)

if u flash back the original kernel (zimage) again thro ODIN u will not loose ur root but it will be limited in its functionality

Thank you very much for your quick reply. I see now, the recovery seems to be part of/linked to the kernel. But I should still have superuser for use of titanium backup?
The only question I asked is: Do I keep root/busybox/cwm recovery
Lol of course you'll lose root and cwm, common sense. You will be flashing a new ROM package, new everything.
The only way to keep root (doesnt actually keeps, roots while flashing) is mobile odin.
I've found the answer, I do keep root, you were wrong.
