hello ,
before I wrote this thread I read a lot about rootinf roms kernels radio and mpds
I just want to make sure I understand before I root or I need to read more before I root.
1. there is a method of rooting woth cf root which grant su and keeps kernel and rom stock
(in this state after I root and reboot can I delete apps I couldnt before like embeded apps?)
2. choose my room jely bean and jely bean kernel
3.flash rom (I ll do wipe)
4.flash ne kernel
questions
do I have to flash rom and kernel or in the rom there is the suited kernel for the rom??
what about the radio and modem will they be deleted after I flash or the stock modem and radio will stay??
because I dont want connection problems or wifi problems or signal issues
I have hissing sounds and I know its a known problem when listening tp music , which rom/kernel solve this annoying problem
does omega 27 suppory hebrew ?
I am not going to flash every weekend a new rom so which rom is stable and have auto updates( not neccesry)
thanks for reading and answering to a newcomer

ROOT

With a root explorer file manager yes .
2. choose my room jely bean and jely bean kernel
No JB kernel yet only stock or Siyah Beta
3.flash rom (I ll do wipe)
4.flash ne kernel
As you already have kernel in the rom you can flasj a kernel again .
questions
do I have to flash rom
All in one .
what about the radio and modem will they be deleted after I flash or the stock modem and radio will stay??
Radio ???? Modem remains the same unless rom has a different modem .
I have hissing sounds and I know its a known problem when listening tp music , which rom/kernel solve this annoying problem
Stock not siyah .
does omega 27 suppory hebrew ?
Read the thread .
I am not going to flash every weekend a new rom so which rom is stable and have auto updates( not neccesry)
None/all best rom what rom posts are banned .
Flash the one that you understand the instructions for .
Auto updates no custom rom has them .
If you flash a custom or a different region stock rom you will lose Samsung OTA and Kies updates .

ok thank you for your answer
I didnt know about the ban thingy
well I ll find a rom that support hebrew and stock kernel
does tweaks or modes come with the rom or I need to flash them with cmw
question- lets say usr cf root do I have su applied since in the link it says I need to install cwm supersu

many tweaks come with the ROM, many you will flash yourself...it depends on what you want and what you have..
ok if I add tweaks could it damage the rom (meaming there is capabilty restriction)

Look, we aren't here to hold your hand.
You need to start reading/researching and learning
Any mod that isn't in a ROM that you want to use - that mods thread will tell you if its compatible, it will also probably give you a return to original file to flash as well
Choose a ROM, flash it, see what mods it has and then decide if you want to flash more - again, read everything first
I know you are not supposed to hold my hand but I prefer to ask stupid questipn instead of a brick galaxy
all of your answers gavr me the confidence and I am ready

Hi guys. I am new to the android scene and right now i want to root my phone because of battery draining. My question is,can i root using chainfire's method because it said there that he only rooted with KDD. I have KE7 (GINGERBREAD.XWKE7).

FWIW you can also root by flashing a rooted firmware, like VillainROM or Lite'ning, with Odin/Heimdall.
(Odin is more tried and tested but only runs on Windows. Heimdall also works though and is multiplatform - I use it on Linux.)
Thanks for the reply. My english is not that perfect and i didnt know what superceded meant hehe. Flashing a rom with included root sounds great. Btw can i flash litening when i have ke7? Because it didnt specify in the thread what kernel you need.

Thanks! Just rooted my stock phone and boy was that fast. Now i have another problem lol. I can't open market because i can't connect my google account. It says something like cannot connect to server,might be a problem with your network bla bla. I read that factory reseting the phone might make it work,but my question is,would resetting the phone remove superuser and that other app? (I think it was CMW)
Up /10chars
did you use a cusom rom?? at the moment its better to just root your device as all the roms are being constantly developed and bugs and eroors being fixed.. if you use a custom rom you will end up flashing your device quite often.. just my thoughts
Yes i rooted my phone only. But i need to know if resetting my phone would remove superuser and cwm not the root itself.
i have rooted mine and i dont get that problem... which rom did you use.. and yeah factory reset will remove those

slow down it takes tym to gt a reply..
anyhow i m here
1) All custom roms are rooted so u will not loose ur root access..
2)All rom developers have listed the samsung apps deleted by them,and they usually give it as an addon pack if some people want.
See it what apps they have removed , if the app u want is deleted good for u or u have to deleted it manually as u have done in the past..
Alternatively u can delete it from the rom before flashing too... if u are experienced.
3)This is a kernel related issue try changing/flashing a new kernel the problem should get solved..
i want to flash the litening rom, what is the newest version available?
my kernel is KF4 but most of the roms i found are for other kernel versions, how do i solve this?
The latest version of litening ROM is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
but can i suggest Cognition as i have used both and i do prefer cognition:

Your kernel doesnt matter - each ROM usually includes their own kernel and when you flash the new rom the kernel from that ROM will also be applied to your phone at the same time

hi, sorry for the noobish questions. :L
i have a couple of questions, i have heard about checkrom but i havent been able to really find out what it is, could someone please tell me ?
my other question is would i be able to flash miui on my phone?
my phone's details are:
model number: GT-I9100P
Android version: 2.3.4
baseband version: I9100PBVKI2
kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100PBVKI3-CL608158 [email protected] #2
build number: GINGERBREAD.BVKI3
it's the nfc model locked on orange uk.
thanks
You need a P rom to flash as far as we know so far .If you flash a wrong firmware you can brick your phone .
Checkrom is a custom rom if you go to the Checkrom post in the developers thread it wil giver you a descriptions . Same goes for all custom roms page one this rom is and has the following or not .

You can only flash a P rom unless you find evidence to the contrary . Most roms are for i9100 version .
Or be a guinea pig and try .

You can flash 9100 ROM on your 9100P
But 9100 ROMs don't support NFC module (it will be supported natively with ICS).
I have the same device (orange FR) and you can look my signature for working Radio + ROM...

I dont remember
But if your device is already rooted you can install Rom manager or CWM from the market and make a backup of your config. Then reboot in CWM and install what you want (read the how to install section of the wanted rom).
Don't care about your "P" version!
What you read here for standard device (i9100) is working for your P version.

Don't use Rom Manager, use Clockwork. Rom Manager seems to not work well with the SGS2, this forum is littered with posts from people who used Rom Manager to flash and it broke CW Recovery, put the phone into a bootloop or soft brick, etc, etc.
Best to play it safe IMHO.

Oh I didn't know that rom manager was not working fine on our device. I am using clockwork manager and it is working fine.
I've seen a heap of posts in the couple of months I've been visiting this forum from people who ended up with broken CW Recovery & bootloops after using the Manager app.
I used it once to try and flash a kernel & it broke recovery completely.
Obviously any/everyone's mileage may vary, but for me, I'd rather play safe & boot into Recovery whenever I flash or backup.

so if i shouldn't use rom manager, what should i use ?
Didn't say you shouldn't use it Just said that plenty of people have had problems using the app, and rather than risk it, since I had that problem with it, every time I've done a backup or flashed a rom/kernel I've rebooted into recovery & used CW Recovery itself to do the business
As I said in my previous post, your mileage may vary & you may not have any problems with it at all.

Hello guys! I have a GT-I9100P also with the latest BVKL2 2.3.6 firmware. I had it rooted when I was at BVKI3 2.3.4 firmware and now I am looking for a good CF-ROOT kernel for my phone. What would you recommend me? (what if I tell Chainfire to make a CF-ROOT more appropriate to my kernel)?

Why don't you post in Chainfire's thread to ask him about making an insecure KL2 kernel?
But I think you can use the insecure KL1 kernel from Chainfire's thread to use for root. Or you could flash SpeedMod or Siyah, and the rooting will happen for you. You have lots of options.
were to put the rom zip file
I got the exact same phone as the OP im trying to flash a rom in a zip format but clockwork mod recovery cant find the file ive looked in install from sd card and install update.zip. ive also tried installing it through rom manager, no joy there, inside rom manager i chose to boot into recovery to flash it manually and now i got a black screen with a white triangle n a lil green android dude so i see what people are saying about the s2 and rom manager, anyways my question is were do i place the zipped rom? on the internal or external and should i rename the rom file?
Ive had 2yrs experience with a HTC HD2 so im not exactly a noob to flashing roms, but the galaxy s2 is very new to me.

Yes you can and you simply flash via Odin restore is by flashing a stock rom via Odin .
But as you fail to see the instructions in the kernel post you linked read the thread before breaking your phone .

You get whatever kernel is in the rom you flash .
Repeat i don't advise flashing for those that fail to understand the very basics and have not even bothered to read the guides and FAQS stickied .

Obviously..whatever mods you have installed will be overwritten by the files you will flash...
Let us say for example..you are a dude wearing very colorful clothes and are sitting on a chair..now your elder brother comes in the room and wants to have the chair..so he kicks your a** and sits on the chair...see...now replace the chair with the Phone...yourself with the MOD and your elder brother with the new ROM....
Wasn't this easy!!!!
that means when i flash stock rom to my device i will also remove all mods, set the original kernel and original rom?

guys im new here on galaxy s2 thread so kindly do not judge me if i ask noob things
i want to flash AOKP for galaxy s2 and i found 2 of them Revolt and thunder roms
download both + dorimanx kernel placed on SD going into CWM trying to flash kernel and rom but im getting this message :
E:signature verification failed !!
Like just about everything else on here, 'E:signature verification failed !!' has been covered many many times on here (Including a couple of times over the past few weeks). Search for those threads, your answer will be in one of them.
i think i have the stock recovery !!
flashing this Cf-root throw odin will give me the CWM ??
Having stock recovery would explain your problem. If you flash the correct CFRoot kernel via Odin, yes, you will have a rooted phone + CWM. However, many people prefer to simply flash the Odin version of a custom kernel (like Siyah) to achieve this aim these days (Given the issues with 4.0.4 stock kernels, which CFRoot is, and the brickbug). Find the relevant Odin flashable version of Siyah for the Android version you're running; check the Siyah threads for which build is compatible with which version of Android (should be on the first page).
all the Cf-root is ICS and im running JB what i can do in that case ??
all i want to access cwm to flash rom and kernel
This recovery I have
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
Which as you said is stock recovery. You can flash temporary versions of CWM from stock recovery, but these only persists until the next reboot/aren't permanent. Make life easy for yourself & flash the Odin version of a rooted kernel as advised in my PP (Use CFRoot if you really want to, just don't do a wipe from CWM while you're running it, wait till you're running a custom kernel before doing any wipes).
Edit - You're welcome, BTW.

ye but the problem cf-root only for ICS and im on JB so if i flash it and then flash JB kernel will do the job or i will stuck !?
sorry if i sound noob but frist time im dealing with Samsung its completly diffrent from Sony
thanks for your help
OK. This is my final post to this thread. I tire very quickly of having to repeat myself.
For the last time...Go to the Siyah threads. Work out which Siyah build you need for the Android version you're running. Get the Odin flashable version of that kernel. Reboot into download mode & flash it with Odin.
Done.
Rooted phone + CWM.
dude sorry but i'v found this
flashing this Siyah-s2-v6.0b4
and now i have cwm and flashed thunder rom
