Thanks
With this method can i then backup my stock Rom and then flash a custom Rom.
And then if i want to go back to stock Rom i would restore backup and use unroot method.

For stock firmware, go to sammobile.com. Register and then get the firmware for your country

I would suggest siyah or dorimanx kernels.
And what is your reason for wanting the stock kernel?

Yeah, I've not tried this, but technically, it should work fine.

Easiest way to root is to flash a rooted kernel, such as CF-Root kernel.
Here is the thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root
In Post #8 you will find CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5.zip which will work fine for your ROM.
Just download this kernel and flash it with Odin to your phone - as described in the first post.
If you want to remove the yellow triangle and reset the flash counter after flashing the CF-Root kernel, just use TriangleAway app from Chainfire (there is a link to it in the first post).
Good luck !

is it poosible to go to previous kernal after rooting?
also if you are planning to use other carrier make sure you have an unlock phone. If not, go to PLay Store and download Galaxy S2 unlock app.
You mean stock kernel? Yes, but only by flashing stock Samsung firmware.

That's not true. You can just flash the stock kernel without flashing the entire firmware.

+1, kernel is independent of rom, u can always flash the same without any issue as long as its compatible

Download a stock kernel, flash it in Odin. Not rocket surgery. You got your hand held on the first page & a half of this thread, time for you to do some reading/learning on your own; Stickies.

I just need to know which zip file i need too pick from the list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Check the picture on the first post and tell me which one to pick
Don't flash cf-root, flash any other (ex. Siyah), if you can't found kernel for your version of ROM.

If you want to install a custom rom, the easiest way would be to first install Siyah kernel. It was already said above!

Root worked?

Hi everybody,
I just foillowed this to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I can see superuser and CWM in the app list on my phone so i suppose it worked,
is there anything other that I need to do before i'm able to install custom roms?
I need to know this because I'm on the 4.0.4 original samsung sowtware, and i had read something about an ICS bug in the samsung kernel. So do I need to flash another kernel? (which?!)
(if i want this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846706 all i have to do is reboot in recovery and flash it?)
thx in avance

Yes, flash another custom kernel immediately.
I recommend Siyah or Speedmod
good luck

Root is already done on custom roms. 4.3 has developers options and root in there. If you dont see dev options tap build about 5 times and it will come up in menu.
Edit: do you mean your on stock rom and no root? If so yes you need to root first. Sorry haven't read posts to well today.
What firmware do you have? Gb/ics/jb?

I had rooted an HTC Desire, for Cyanogen. First with Samsung and Paranoid. Btwn I have i9100 model.
So pick say lss philz zip and flash that in recovery. Make sure you put it on ext sd and go to recovery and then update. Reboot and root with cwm recovery is done. Then follow op in pa for how to install pa rom.
Im on biftor v11 with apollo kernel.

i9100 Rooted but no CWM

Hello everyone, greeting from Turkey!
First of all im a newbie for android rooting and romming etc. I ve always used stock roms since ive got this phone. Now Im running a I9100 (int.) with stock Turkish 4.1.2 (XXLS8) on it and i ve rooted it via superuser.zip with my stock recovery.
What i want to do is to install CWM and want to flash a RELIABLE and Long Battery life rom. Are there anyways for me to install a CWM without using odin (via stock recovery). And can you please suggest me a good rom for daily usage. (i want to use vanilla android btw [just like nexus]).
Thank you for your helps.
I don't know much about roms/kernels for the international version, but you will need to flash a stock kernel with cwm and then just choose a rom from your development thread and follow the instructions, don't forget making backups and reading a lot, you can start from flashing cyanogenmod.

The thing is i dont have the CWM on my phone, its only the Rooted Stock Recovery.
Uhm i believe that we can flash a philz via stock. Is that true?

As i said i dont know about international version kernels, but it should have a tag like "stock kernel" or something like that if its for stock, just install it and you will have cwm, if its not stock it wont be installed anyway.

You can flash a kernel for stock roms via stock recovery, you don't need to use odin, just read the instructions.
