Hey kids,
Some details on the phone:
Samsung Galaxy S2 I9000T
Android 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100TDUKF4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.70I9100XWKDD-CL1611513 / [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.DUKH1
So I'm new around here, I've done some searching and I've read as many of the pertinent pages of this huge post as I could, it's quite long hehe, but I still have some questions. So if someone in the know can help me be in the know, that would be ace:
1) I found a guide on the net, which had a modified kernel attached to grant SU. So I followed that guide, and all went well and now my phone boots up, yellow warning triangle and all, and I have SU. However if I try to remove or freeze some system apps (not all), I'm told there is an error and that I need "NAND unlocked". What is that/does it mean?
2) In the post I linked above, there are numerous attachments of modified kernels. Now my understanding from reading it, and other guides, is that I should try and match the modified kernel to my current kernel version as close as possible. Since I've already updated it with a new kernel, I actually cannot recall what the existing number was and there is no kernel close to my one ( 2.6.35.70I9100XWKDD-CL1611513). So does this mean I should rather not try a new kernel, or, how do I determine the correct version to use (I'm not understanding the differences)?
Anyway, thanks for any help!
Cheers!

Hey everyone,
so i've rooted my phone once before, and after some time i decided it was time to install chainfire's rom due to my battery drainage.
so i went on over to chainfire's thread and read... and read.... and read... downloaded all the jizz. and eventually i got down to the odin part. it was hanging at a specific step. anyways i read... again and realised that my firmware supported a very old recovery tool that didnt work so great. so i got back down to the site and read some more, and eventually got down to installing a new firmware (still confused with firmware vs kernel... but anyway)...
i went down to sammobile. and voila got a 4.0.3 firmware nice! but then... root was gone, and like my rooted apps that installed requested it needs to be rooted first. so i was like (EFFFFFF) anyway.
so i began searching again on how to root, and yes i know i need an insecure kernel... but where on earth do i find this thing.
i noticed that on sammobile they have kernels (or is it firmware, jeez all these names )... and i noticed that some of them have hash signs (##) next to them, does that mean it's insecure? i read somewhere that the star (*) sign means incomplete (it's an update rather)...
so please, someone, anyone, please help...
all i wanna do is install chainfire's rom

thanks in advance guys...
Just download and flash via odin the cf root kernel for LPQ which is compatible with LP7 (use the latest version 5.4 referred to as proper it is a bug fix version). This will give you root and cwm.

[Solved]
I was a complete noob but for the past 2 days I've been massively experimenting with my phone to finally figure out how to use Heimdall (since I'm on a Mac) and flashing ROMs and Kernels.
My problem is I got this phone here in India, and yesterday I flashed it with the official ICS 4.0.3 version (since KIES wouldn't let me). But then I say the Resurrection Remix ROM and I really wanted it.
So here are the doubts:
1. I realize I'll need to root my phone first. I read this in a bunch of threads. I started using Chainfire's post as my reference, only to realize that they're meant for 19100 only. Not the G variant.
So, what kernels can I use to root my phone?
My current kernel string reads like this:
3.0.8 [email protected] #2 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 22 15:00:05 KST 2012
The baseband version reads: I9100GDDLP5
I assumed LP5 to be the kernels I should be looking for (referring to Chainfire's post) but couldnt find any for the G.
I came across this link:
androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-international-all-things-root/482437-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100g-all-things-root.htm
It gives a bunch of kernels for G, but for android version 2.3.6. Does this mean:
a) Those are the only kernels I can hope to get?
b) I need to flash the old version ROM to use them?
My other question is, once I do root my phone with the appropriate kernel,
can the G variant use the Resurrection ROM? If I can't, could anyone suggest a good ROM I should use?
And finally, staying true to my newbie level, can I directly flash a custom ROM using Heimdall without rooting? Also I saw a ROM with a Siyah kernel, so can't I just flash that ROM using Heimdall? I mean, if I root with some kernel and then the ROM I install changes it anyway, can't I directly use the ROM's kernel? I'm just asking.
PDA: I9100GXXLPQ
PHONE: I9100GDDLP5
CSC: I9100GODDLP7
Solution:
I went to the Cynagenmod 9 for I9100G on this site. Went to it's FAQs, flashed the clockworkmod kernel and then used Recovery mode to flash Cyanogenmod 9. Works perfectly. Better than perfect. My phone is finally living up to it's potential!
odin
you can flash a custom recovery to your galaxy with odin,check soem guide on xda, then from the recovery menu yu can flash teh resurection rom,that is prerooted
Thanks...but
@meccandroid: Thanks for the reply, but you're saying that the ROM can be installed on the G variant too? I read there's some hardware difference in 19100 and 19100G, so if the ROM is intended for 19100, wouldn't there be an issue?

Problem solved...solution posted in original post.
Hello everyone I just bought a new phone which is galaxy s3 , I read that my model may suffer the sudden death problem.
The device is new from the box and it is the 16GB model.
Its unrooted and running android 4.1.2
More information about it:
Baseband version: I9300BOLK3
Kernel version : 3.0.31 - 742798 [email protected] -111#1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Dec 22 17:04:04 KST 2012
Build number: JZO54K.I9300XXELLA
Sould I be afraid of audswn death or any proccesor bugs ?
check the SDS threads in General, they have all the info you need
samsung claimed the latest update has fixed sudden death issue,so far I do not see anyone who updated to latest firmware complain about sudden death.
wait, was there an official statement? got a link?
depends on how damage ur s3 had taken and if ur on the safe kernels and recoveries
If you are on XXELLA and haven't rooted and changed kernel then as far as anyone is aware you are protected.....although there has been no official confirmation, but analysis by the hard working devs suggests you're safe.
If you decide to root then make sure you install a recovery that has the fix(most of them now) if you change recovery - likewise with kernel, if you change that.
Thanks alot for helping so i understood that i am protected , i didnt root / change anyting all is stock and i am on XXELLA is that right ?

PhilZ-cwm6 which version
Hi,
I have a samsung gallaxy S2 and I am rather confused which version of PhilZ-cwm6 kernel to use. I am wanting to use the most current version possible and I am not sure what version that is nor kernel code. I am wanting to root stock android. When I flashed from stock ICS to JB I used the following offical rom XFC-I9100XWLSS-20130817002141.zip and see below for attached screenshot of my phone details, there are differences in the kernel numbers which is causing confusion. I hope that is all the info that is required. Thank you so much in advance for your reply.
hi all
i need to know which version of kernel best for rom >> I9100XWLSD << ?
I have a GS2 I9100XWLSW, suffering the EMMC brick bug. Still with original kernel, and recovery. Rooted with Framaroot.
I'd want to install Philz in order to install either Omnirom or Cyanogen.
I have seen in the Philz's original thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31310884&postcount=3 ) the link to my PDA version (v5.06.1 ). However on goo.im ( http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100 ) I can find a higher updated version (v6.48.4), however this one has no description assuring me that's the correct file for PDA LSW. Is it, also considering my EMMC bug? Or maybe it's just the recovery, without the kernel? If that's the point, then WHERE I can find the latest kernel+recovery for my phone?
Also, which install method should I prefer: update through the zip file, or flash through Odin? First one seems easier, but I heard that it may have problems installing certain Cyanogen versions from the Philz's temporary recovery. I'd want to install Lollipop from either Omnirom or Cyano as soon as they become reasonably stable.. also, Philz v5.06.1 comes with CWM 6.0.3.2, but isn't CWM 6.0.4.4+ required to install KitKat or higher?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I also noticed that some zip files are marked LSW-XEU, while others are LSW-OXX.. how do I know which is mine? Actually the complete details of my phone are:
PDA: I9100XWLSW
PHONE: I9100XXMS3

Hi,
What you are looking for is the kernel code in the rom build. On mine I can see it under "About device" at the end of build number - I9100XWLSH, it is the XWLSH part you are looking for. You can also see it if you download terminal emulator from the playstore. Just run the terminal and type getprop and press enter. Scroll up until you find [ro.build.PDA]: this is the rom. Again it is the last part of this you need. Hope this helps

I'm not sure I understand, but if you are talking about the stock rom, you should get the latest version for your region. If you want a rooted version of stock I would choose one that has a modified kernel available from the ones @Phil3759 developed. That is, the ones under the latest version in the main thread

The listed files are not kernels, they are updated recoveries. To root your stock rom, you need to find the the kernel below the latest recoveries and match the rom to the kernel code as described in the main thread. You can then flash the latest recovery, then reboot into recovery if you want to for example flash a kitkat or lollipop rom. The older recovery embedded in the modified kernel won't be compatible with these later android versions

Hi,
I have attached my device screenshot. I am unable to choose the correct ROM according to the Kernel version. Requesting you to provide the link to the correct file i can choose to root the phone.
Thanks
Unbrick..
Download Philz Kernel in .tar format and instal it over Odin 3.0.7 ie than whwn boot up, download on ur internal or better external sd card kernel and recovery(sometimes it is the same one file) and restart ur mob in recovery and instal that new/old recovery which u previosly got before boot loop or bricking... than reinstal ur system or if u have backup just restore it,. Important part is that u need same Recovery u did before U braked up Ur system... Ask 4 more

So, it is not cous Recovery are included in kernel or something simular, couse that wasnt question,question by user int0x13 was: why i cant find the according link the the philz kernel on the first page of the topic? There it is , reason and answer...
Btw, read carefully, sometimes so tehnical to be isnt best solution
And, i can not understand why man who worked hard and give us his best and his work included his PhiliZ kernel did not suported inough??? Hi deserve it !
