1. You can use any custom kernel of your choice, not necessarily Siyah.
Speedmod, Dorimanx, Dream, Neak kernels etc
Just make sure the kernel you want to flash is compatible with stock ROMs. The ones i listed above including Siyah are compatible with stock ROMs
2. If you are going to flash Siyah kernel, the latest version (4.1.5) will work best for you

Thank you very much, that helped a lot.
And the flashing itself i will do with odin?
i have it on my pc, but does the odin version affect on anything?

You don't necessarily have to use Odin version. You can also download the CWM zip version.
You have two options:
1. Using recovery:
A.) Root your phone with the method in the link you posted earlier
B.) Flash the kernel (CWM zip version) via Odin the temporary CWM recovery
Or
2. Using Odin
A.) Download .tar Odin version of any kernel of your choice
B.) Flash the kernel via Odin.

Thanks. now everythings clear as.. i dont know something.
clear it is.

I'll advise a custom kernel e.g Siyah, Dorimanx, Speedmod, etc (not CF-ROOT) to avoid the infamous brick bug.

I'm sorry to be such a noob with rooting stuff.
What i want to my phone is clockworkmod recovery and root.
Does all of those give me both of them
Oh, and to be exact, I want to keep it simple. So, no custom rom or anything. just the basic root rigths and CWM recovery.

[Q] Question About Triangle away to rest counter

Hi,
I have some questions about Triangle Away.
My Specifics are:
Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100
Android Version: 4.0.4
Band Base Version: I9100XXLQ6
Kernel Version: [email protected]#3 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 29 13:40:41 KST 2012
Build Version: IMM76D.XWLPX
eMMC check: Brick Bug insane chip
Triangle Away Version: 2.10
I flashed my phone with this nordic ROM: I9100XWLPX_I9100XXLQ6_I9100NEELP5_HOME.tar
Then I followed this guide to root my phone: http://technoxide.blogspot.com/2012/10/root-galaxy-s2-ics-4.0.4-xwlpx.html
With this guide i installed this firmware: PhilZ-cwm6-XWLPX-NEE-2.0.tar.md5 and then i used Samsung Quick Root.
Yesterday i read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31310851
and I flashed my kernel with this new one: PhilZ-cwm6-XWLPX-NEE-2.7.tar.md5
My root work fine.
Now I read many threads but I don't understand if I can run Triangle Away 2.10 without problems or brick risks.
Anyone could help me?
Thank you
I have mo experience in flashing 4.0.4 but to be safe flash a stock kernel version 4.0.3.

Thank you. But if I flash a a stock kernel version 4.0.3, i keep my phone rooted?
Where I can find a stock kernel 4.0.3 for my phone?
Sorry but I'm almost noob about these procedures...
I saw a chainfire's app in the play store which removes the yellow triangle and reset the flash counter to 0.
If you are having problems in going back to stock, you can try it.

Thank you but is my initial question.
I just have this app (Triangle Away 2.10) and i want to know if using that could brick my phone considering the procedures I followed to root my phone (specified in my first post)
I used TA few times and I had no problems.

Ok, but have you never used TA with Android 4.0.4 rooted and chip bugged?
thank you
I've been resetting counter even on rooted 4.0.4 and nothing happened
Just use kernel like Siyah which has eMMC brickbug disabled.

OK:victory:
So, if I can take advantage of your kindness, could you link me the Siyah kernel for my phone?
thank you
Go to www.gokhanmoral.com and look for v4.1.5. That's for the S2. download the zip version if installing via CWM and the tar version if installing via Odin.
Good luck. :thumbup:

[Q] Kernel

m facing problems in finding the right kernel for my galaxy S ll ( for rooting ) , whats the correct method , i searched several times but didn't get anywhere close to what this site tells how to find it
my kernel version is 3.0.8 [email protected]#2 SMP PREEMPT Tue may 22 15:00:05 KST 2012
Build Number : IML74.XXLPQ
u dont need a new kernel just to root many other options.
If you only want to root, use temporary CWM to gain root access, search for rachmat3's method.
If you want to install custom ROMs etc, you can root by flashing a TAR version of siyah or dorimanx kernel via Odin.
You can download the TAR version of siyah v4.1.5 from here: www.gokhanmoral.com once done, you'll have root access and a 'safe' custom kernel running on your phone.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app.
If noobs on xda have taught me one thing, its that smartphones just aren't for everyone.
If you have 4.0.3 and want a pure stock based kernel, then use http://www.mediafire.com/file/dpiwi3hskn3qtis/PhilZ-cwm6-XXLPQ-OXX-2.7-signed.zip
It can be flashed through stock recovery and includes root, CWM, Busybox and SuperSU.
The kernel is also brickbug safe.

[Q] SGS2 kernel/rom (insane chip) 4.0.4

First of all, i got my SGS2 2 days ago, switched over from iphone after 5 years, so don't judge me . I'm thrilled with SGS2, such a perfect phone. I got it unscratched, almost new. Browsing through the forums, i saw CM rom that i would like to install on my phone, but then ... I saw people talking about superbrick , so i installed eMMC check and saw it says that i got insane chip. My "About" screen gives following info:
Model number : GT-I9100
Android version : 4.0.4
Baseband version : I9100XXLQ6
Kernel version : 3.0.15-1157945 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 26 16:17:36 KST 2012
Build number : IMM76D.XWLQ2
My question is, how can i manage to install CM rom on my phone without bricking it ? I tried searching through the forums, not that i didn't , but im kinda unsure. Should i apply SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1 through Odin first, and then try to apply CM 10.1 or even some stock rom or what ? Sorry to bother you, but i'm fairly new to android kernels/roms. Thanks in advance.

I meant, after applying siyah, i can install CyanogenMod 10.1 for example, or Resurrection Remix JB v3.1.3 ?
And can i root ? That would be all, don't wanna bother you anymore. Thanks :good:
You'll be rooted with siyah and yeah, you can flash those ROMs via CWM.

BACKUP
But before doing anything don't forget to backup you default ROM.
I have done it in CWM recovery in the "backup and restore" .
It will create a folder in SD card -->clockworkmod--->backup ( I recommend to upload that whole folder somwhere USB maybe only to be sure if anything will happend to that SD card ) .
It saved me last time when I couldn't start the SII.

oh, i do that right after i place siyah on my s2 , right ?
Of course.
1) Flash Siyah.
2) Backup ROM through CWM.
3) Backup all storage and apps using TiBu or Carbon.
4) Use nuke script to clean phone.
5) Flash new ROM.
6) ???
7) Profit.

This kernel works fine with ICS roms. I use it always when i need to root a phone. With this kernel you get root and a custom recovery.

trying hoping works well
