I have just updated to 4.0.4 on my galaxy s2 and have lost root. Ive looked about the forums and am really unsure of how to root it again, being concerned over the brick bug etc.
Is there a safe to re-root? CWM has been removed from apps so presume that has gone.
Anyone help please?
Cheers in advance

Download Siyah kernel (Tar for Odin!)
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/08/05/siyahkernel-s2-v4-0/
Kill all Kies processes in Task mnger
Open Odin (run as Administrator)
Boot phone in download mode (vol down+home+power)
Vol up to continue
Connect phone to pc, a field in Odin will turn yellow
Click PDA and select the file you downloaded
Make sure that Repartition is not ticked!!!!!!!!!
Click start
When it finishes, the field will turn green and say 'Pass!', phone will reboot
Thats it!

When flashing a different rom, always do a full wipe(factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache) or else you'll end up in a bootloop.

No, you cant get the brick bug in Siyah. Its present only in Samsung kernels and ones based on it, like Cf-root.
Siyah is completely safe, dont worry.

Hi guys,
1. I have a problem of flashing stock ICS straight from a 2.3.4 Checkrom V4
2. I used ODIN and flashed UK based ICS (I9100XWLPT) and everything when well, i could start and setup as per normal, thing is, it is UNROOTED.
3. So i flashed CF-ROOT (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LQ5-v5.6-CWM5.zip) to I9100XWLPT as this is the closest and the fact that the ICS Stock firmware modem is (Modem: XXLQ6) via Odin (Tar file in PDA and Flash)
4. Now, i could not boot the phone, it goes to the normal startup (the one with yellow triangle) and then it goes blank forever. I tried reflash kernel, i tried factory reset and everything and it goes blank.
5. So i flash the recovery package, i tried flashing bootloader first, it tried flashing kernel first then flash the ics recovery package, but everytime when i flash my Odin will hang/Not Responding. I tried factory reset, i tried taking out batt and leave for minutes and reflash again but still, my ODIN hang.
6. So i restore via nandroid backup, and then tried to reflash stock firmware as i did initially but still, ODIN hang.
7. So i thought maybe i could flash to 2.3.6 Checkrom V6 but still, when i tried to flash the ICS Firmware, my odin will hang.
Please help me guys on what should i do, i truly apologize for the long post and i might sound confusing but i hope you could advice me on what to do. I really want to use ICS but now still stuck on Checkrom V6 2.3.6 Android.
Ok you have a sound nandroid back up that's good. Try this its what I used to go to stock LPT. Flash it through PDA in odin like before then root with Galaxian kernel again through PDA in odin. It's specific for 4.0.4 ROMs. Alternatively there are pre- rooted, modified stock ROMs in the android development forum. All the best.

Hi, thank you for the suggestion but like i mentioned in No 5 & No 6, ODIN will hang everytime i flash something and then it will say FAIL.
which version of odin are you using. the newer 3.0.4 or the older version?
4.0.4 roms work with odin 3.0.4 not old er versions.

Hi, i have found the SOLUTION
If the SGS2 is from Gingerbread or to be exact, from Checkrom V6 and below.
I have to flash rom from Hydяa-H²o first and then i can move on to any other ICS ROM without having te flash brick issue.
e.g: If i flash Resurrection Remix to Checkrom V6, i will facing the Flash Brick issue and the only solution to this is to restore your nandroid backup. Try everything recovery etc etc, would not work.
I have to flash Hydra Rom first to Checkrm V6 and then moved to Resurrection Remix. Thats the only workable way for now.
I can confirmed this as i tried this on 3 of my friend Samsung Galaxy S2. As the explanation for this, i did not know but it works.
Just for the record, you flashed the wrong kernel version.
You're supposed to look at kernel version, not baseband!

Samsung has their own recovery on all galaxy device. So you don't need root to boot to it
To boot to recovery,
-Off your phone,
-Hold Volume up + home button + power button together
-Remove your hands from those buttons when your phone lights up.
I'm sure all this info is in that thread.
Read carefully and be a little patience

can you give a tutorial link
It is worth to invest few bucks in Chainfire's Mobil Odin Pro from Playstore to flash any Rom (stock or custom) with EverRoot option. It is good solution for people with moderate knowledge about flashing, rooting, etc. It's also safer method for those people because there is no chance to screw up bootloader or choose inproper flash images to selected partitions.
But flashing original stock ICS and rooting it is not so hard. It's free but you need to know some basics.

If you are already rooted using CF-ROOT kernel, then trying to use a non-kernel method again, is both hilarious and time wasting.
If flashing Siyah kernel is your priority, in order to overclock, then let's go straight to the point

I assume from the information given above:

2. You rooted your phone via non-kernel method and your phone was rooted.
3. You did not ROOT your phone by flashing CF-ROOT kernel, contrary to what you claimed in your first and second posts
3. Anytime you flash Siyah kernel image via mobile Odin, your phone is stucked on boot.

If you want to flash another 4.0.3 firmware, then flash LPG or UHLPS.
LP7 is just like taking another step backwards

You can flash any GT I9100 firmware it will work fine and anytime you wish to claim warrant, you simply flash back Indian firmware.
Download it here:
1. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
Or
2. www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-android-4-0-3-ics-xwlpg-firmware-95534/
For option two, the alternate download link is lot faster than hotfile

My galaxy s2 (GT-I9100 white) won't reboot after I root it and it stuck on the Startup screen and there's a yellow exclamation mark. It still can go into download mode again but I got no idea what to do in order to recover the phone... Anyone can help about it??? Did my phone just turn into a brick????:crying::crying::crying:
P/S: I am a Malaysian and this phone was bought in Switzerland and I never root it before.

Basics.... Reflash any custom rom with Odin. That will help.

Yes, download and flash new rom, Then you have guarantee your phone will boot up because after flashing kernel you might get bootloop too.

This is because you flashed a wrong kernel for your phone.
# Quick question:
Is your phone on Gingerbread, Android 2.3.x or ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich), Android 4.0.x?
# If your phone is on ICS, then download and flash this kernel via Odin: www.gokhanmoral.com/public/files/siyahkernel/v3.0/Siyah-v3.5.2.tar
# If your phone is on Gingerbread, then download and flash this kernel via Odin: gokhanmoral.desean.net/siyahkernel/v2.6/Siyah-v2.6.14.tar

Thanks for that.
I have the I9100BVLPH stock ROM from T-Mobile UK on my phone so I downloaded the correct Chain Fire kernel (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5.tar) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 and this caused the phone not to boot.
Thanks for the link to Siyah, I used the v4.1.5 kernel and it worked great.
Hello there.
I'm in a bit of a trouble so I need some help. I've bought an S2 for my wife from a guy (in Ireland).
The phone was locked on Vodafone so I tried to root it maybe I'll be lucky to unlock it with out paying nothing. So, the phone is on Gingerbread with a BUKJ3 kernel. I've downloaded last night a CF root but by mistake I took a KG3 instead of KJ3. After flashing with Odin 1.85 I got stuck on the boot screen with the yellow triangle.
This morning I've downloaded another kernel as in KJ3 flashed with Odin, the phone is starting but no network coverage, I tried with different Sim cards but nothing so I went in recovery mode and wipe/format data, system, dalvik and cache as factory reset as well. Since that moment the phone won't boot, it gets stuck on the boot screen and yellow triangle.
I can go in recovery mode and download mode with no problem but I can't make it start.
I reflashed the kernel, I don't know what to do and tomorrow is my wife's birthday and I was trying to surprise her with a nice phone but instead looks like she is gonna get a brick ( I hope not)
Thank you guys for any help.
Go to sammobile and get something like unbranded XWLP7 stock rom....flash via odin
Then use rachmats ics rooting guide
Backup efs folder and make nand backup
Then get unlock app(by helroz or chainfire)

Thank you for the reply. I don't mean any disrespect but for the last 3 hours I'm looking over kernels and forum and my brain is really wired now maybe.
I've had a look at sammobile but I can't find what you've recommended. A more specific link will be more than helpful.
Thank you very much anyway. If I'm getting advises it means I didn't bricked the phone so I might be able to fix it.
Once again thank you.
You just go to sammobile,then register,then firmware and files,then put the info in the 4 fields
eg
Smartphone
Android
Gt-i9100
Then uk/ire XEU (or vodafone or whatever..but unbranded better)
Then youll see a list about firmware version and their release date
Eg
Lpt 4.0.4 ics jul 2012
Lp7 4.0.3 ics apr 2012
So download lp7 4.0.3 and flash with odin.
Then use the rooting guide in my sig
Then do the other things I said.

Thank you very much. In the mean while I've managed to find exactly what you've said in your answer. I've choose the gingerbread version of the ROM cause that was what the phone had when I've bought it.
SO, now is it safe to go on ICS like I did half an hour ago with that Gingerbread rom?
Thank you and sorry about the noob question, never used an Samsung, only HTC.
Yeah just do what I said.......not what you think!.

Did it, thank you very much. The phone start but somehow I've lost my IMEI number and base band. I must be really unlucky.
I've read that Odia can help in this matter but if anybody has any idea, I'll be happy to make a donation for getting back the IMEI number.
Once again thank you very much.

It's always about read read more.... And don't flash anything unless you are 100% sure...

People contact Odia when theres a problem with their efs folder/no backup.
But you should have a backup and a nand backup.
I had the same problem yesterday and I restored efs folder/restored nand backup.....which got it back.
So try that or theres a thread about "restore imei in 9 easy steps".

I know I was stupid enough not to read before flashing, but now it too late to think about that.
the thing is I've never used a galaxy phone until these days and I wasn't aware of all this things and I don't know how to restore this NAND backup IF I have one, as I didn't make any backup before flushing. I hope I'll get some help from somebody and as I've said, a nice donation will be on the way to the helper.
Try GSII repair app.But you have to be rooted.
