If you have a galaxy s3 I9300 just flash the Siyah kernel. It will Root your device and you can make some nice adjustments in the STweaks App. Why it didn`t work with the chainfire Kernel I don`t know. What did Odin say exactly?
You could try to flash it with Odin 1.85, It`s the most common used one.

This is not a help forum. Stop failing to search and read what you're going to do. Read and read some more.

Siyah gives you more control over the Kernel, so that you can make several adjustments (like over or underclocking of the cpu, so you have better batterylife), while CF auto Root sticks to the Stock Kernel with just Root enabled.
Did you enable USB Debugging before flashing with Odin?
Yes usb debugging is on
Status normal does not necessarily mean you're not rooted.
Try and install a root app. E.g..titanium backup...

Try Odin 1.85, I have read several cases where people had problems with Odin 3.x and it worked with 1.85

He said that Odin failed to flash CF Auto Root, so I don`t think he is rooted, if it failed to flash.

Are you sure you have the right file for your phone, and did you read and follow instructions of what to do if the root doesn't "take" first time (re-flash auto reboot unchecked/reboot recovery to trigger installation)?
georgeskhater said:

Its not obvious that's why the question was asked . Enough numptys on here with the wrong phone who flash the wrong files as they don't bother reading .
Why don't you start at the beginning and read the basic faqs and guides instead of rushing straight to bricking your phone >>First question why do you want root ???

Ok no one is rude here, but if you were familiar with the XDA Forum then you would know that there are many guys who ask questions like you do and some of them just flash random stuff that is not even intended for their phone and then come asking for help. You are not special and no one knows what experience you have with flashing something on your phone or if you even read the Chainfire thread.
Then second it`s CyanogenMod and not Cyangene mode
third: I already explained to you the difference between CF Auto Root and the Siyah kernel and if you want a kernel that saves battery then flash the Siyah kernel and make adjustments to your CPU/GPU, there are enough tutorials in here on how to achieve greater battery life with a kernel that supports adjustments like underclocking. There are also other Kernels like Perseus that enable high customization to the Kernel that you just don`t have with a Kernel that is fully Stock.
Also did you try all the tips that we gave you?
- Turn everything off that has to do with Kies
- Download Odin 1.85 and use it instead of Odin 3.07
- make sure you have USB Debugging on

In this forum I have seen 3 cases of wrong kernel flashes in the last 48 hours alone
If you can't help me to eliminate potential problems for you then I won't bother to help, simple.......so please answer the two questions that I posted

hello guys..^_^
how are you.. I hope all things are good with you ^_^
actually I have a problem with my GS2
first thing I want to tell that I had decided to change my rom from odex to deodex one..
I had looking for a good one amd I found that Gangsbread is the best..but it doesn't work with my rom which is JPKF2 so that I had to change it to XXKH3 " a raw rom".. so I downloaded it and tried to flash it on my phone but it didn't work..
and I tried to switch my GS2 on but it doesn't work
I've downloaded the JPKF3 raw rom and tried to flash it.. and this what happened to me every time I tried to did it "the pics is within the attached files"~_~
I did with a different roms wuth a count of 33 but it doesn't success.. *_*
and now I have a message on my GS2 screen saying that..“Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again”
please can I do anything to fix it ?
thanks for your time
You've put kernel on bootloader option?
You were supposed to download a .tar file, select it on PDA and flash, no re-partition

Hmm Asad I think the files you initially used may right royally screwed your phone. They look like they were SGS1 phone files. If they were then I think your phone will require JTAG repair.
Let's hope there are more people with better knowledge can help you.

I think you can forget about the Deodexed Rom for now. You need to get back to stock. Looking at the pics you submitted. You may end up having to go Service Centre and have it Repaired. Be prepared to pay for the repair as well.

i have a question for you guys what i have not
do for to get a cell phone brick ?
i have read many threads and the only way for to get it is by using application rom manager thats right or i can get a brick cell phone in odin software.
what if by a mistake set files in a wrong order in odin software
galaxy ace cf gingerreal v1.0 kph
thanks in advance
WHY would you put the wrong files in ODIN, just read the tutorial and follow it correctly?
And to kinda answer the question, what've read is that ODIN will not brick you phone, you might be able to get a bootloop though (just reflash and it should work fine).
Read the newbie guide(sticky thread) about Rom manager, it should be supported now but be cautious, better to use CWM app instead, or just reboot your phone to CWM (dont be lazy).
People brick their phone when unlocking their phone, there should be a proper solution that works without having to brick you phone.

No. If you flash I9100 firmware (rom or kernel) on your I9100G you will brick it. Try this thread.

How would I know exactly what kernels are in that thread ? Have you read past the first page or searched the thread ? Thought not Have you bothered to search for yourself ? Again, I doubt it.

It's nice to blast when you have the answers ... the forum is for questions ... even in the last few pages in your thread (as this is one of the latest builds) ... people are asking the same question on the version with no answers from you ... so that is why I asked the question.
If you were looking for a version and didnt know where to find it ... Im sure you would love getting a response like this? ... And I have flashed and rooted my tablet and sgs1 ... for this specific build on the s2 I didnt see it ... so perhaps if its not the biggest amount of brain-drain for you ... please could you provide a link maybe? ... It would others find it fast too ... you do have an extensive number of posts ... and a 1st page find for a new version just helps people looking for it .... what you think?
Me provide a link after that little tanty ? Um, how about no ? Not going to happen.

I actually have been searching on the build number and have not found any answer on it. I wouldn't have asked the question if I found the answer. Previously I have found all the answers for my tablet and sgs1 here with no need to ask as I could fine relevant version to flash them and root them. If I don't need to talk to anyone about it I wouldnt ... just with so many versions of phones even the sgs1, it is a risk to get hold of the wrong versions.
Anyway .. too much tıme and effort wasted already just writing the comments on this question. Thanks for showing interest

Hi .. yes I got it sorted (but not wıth the help or direction from the guys above) ... I now have the g version rooted and flashed (althought I have the yellow triangle on boot - Im not worrıed about that, root more ımportant). If you have pre v 2.3.6 then you can root it without using odin. Odin causes the triangle. If you have not udpated to yet and are on 2.3.5 or earlier let me know as there is ways to root and get the Clockworkmod Recovery loaded without using Odin, thus not increasing the binary counter.
I also have the international version which was pre 2.3.6 so I got that rooted etc all fine this way and then flashed it (from the internal SD to ICS 4.0.3 without increasing the counter).

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately my phone is brand new (1 day old) and I installed the latest Samsung OTA update already (stupid, I know) so I am on 2.3.6 with kernel 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2 and build XXLB1.
I want to get an ICS ROM running ASAP but I'm only familiar with HTC phones and not Samsung root methods. I'm not sure if I can use SuperOneClick or if I have to use Odin (and which kernel to use?) ... there's a lot of info out there but it's really hard to find someone with my exact model/rev and I don't want to brick my new baby!
It sounds like I should use Odin, but could you explain what kernel you used when you rooted? Thanks very much!!
EDIT: Not sure this matters as far as which kernels I can flash, but my baseband is I9100GXXKL4.

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately my phone is brand new (1 day old) and I installed the latest Samsung OTA update already (stupid, I know) so I am on 2.3.6 with kernel 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2 and build XXLB1.

Hi ... I had the same concerns ... 1 day old and how not to brick it ... In the end I just decided to go at it and get it sorted. I downloaded the following ROM to flash with ODIN (I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_INU.zip) ... you can get it from hotfile.com (http://hotfile.com/dl/147046000/0697ece/I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_INU.zip.html) ... I loaded it in Odin (phone in download mode) using the PDA option (if the zip has a password, just use the following as the password: samfirmware.com) ... completed and phone is back ... go back to download mode and get the following kernel (MyGKernelV1.1.1_CWM5 i9100G) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327509
Enjoy
just sharing on how we can remove the yellow triangle on boot of G s2..
>Assuming you have already rooted with any rooted kernel (ex: myGkernel/superatmos kernel)
>Run “HC-ktool”. Tap "Dump current kernel", then Tap "Reboot to Download Mode"
>When in Download Mode, start Odin, connect the phone and flash any stock Samsung kernel. Phone will reboot itself after that.
>Run “ktool” again Tap "Flash kernel from /sdcard/zImage" (zimage should be the zimage file of ur rooted kernel...copy this zImage in sdcard), then Tap "Reboot"...done
thanks for the info everyone, unfortunately i had issues with my gs2g (mp3 player skipping, gps not locking location well) and so i returned it. it's a beautiful phone but i thought it was too expensive for me to deal with any issues. now i'm hoping for the HTC one x soon! b
best wishes !
Hello everyone !
I need help about my galaxy SII, Ive tried to root it by several methods without success :s
My PDA shows : i9100BUKJ3.

Several methods, but if no success, then you are apparently doing something wrong. What methods, and what are you doing, exactly? Easiest method to root is to flash a CF-Root kernel. From what it looks like, you'll need the KJ3 CF-Root kernel.

You can update to ICS any time you want, and you probably should do this first before rooting, unless you want to root twice. (root once for GB, then update to ICS, then root ICS - because you will lose root once you update to ICS anyways)
Looks like you are new here, and have some reading/learning to do to figure some things out.
Start here for stickies with a wealth of information.
Really, there are no short-cuts. Short-cuts lead to missed steps. Missed steps lead to bricked phones.
As ctomgee said. Describe what you have done
Hi ! Thanks for you answers. yes Im beginner and new on the forum
Ive downloaded a BUKJ3 kernel and install it with the odin and s2root method but apparently the kernel was secured so nothing done :s Ive tried too to root it with the CMW.zip in the the sdcard and to start in recovery mode always nothing.
Ive found a method using SuperOneClickv1.9.5 but haven't tried cuz Im not sure its safe.
* I would like to update it to ICS before rooting but how ? :s
Thanks a lot

Dont be so noob my friend,
just click the link ctomgee gave you and read as much as possible....
once you knew waht is Download mod and how to use Odin.....pick an official ICS rom from here and flash......means install....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
hh Yes friend Im reading right now
Im just confused about some details and Im afraid to done something wrongly.
the problem is that I cant find a similar kernel of my fone. can i use any other one ?
are you willing to Root first? and searching a CF-root for that?
then pick it up : http://download.chainfire.eu/52/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KJ3-v5.0-CWM5.zip
Ive downloaded it and puted it in sdcard and lunched it from recovery mode but : verification failed. have I to unzip it before copying in fone memory ?
If you can show me how to update it to ICS and root it after it would be so nice.
Thanks for your help.
LOL.......
You have to read read read read There is no substitute for READING for COMPREHENSION
Have you ever used ODIN? if not please learn it first,
the file I sent was for ODIN flash, because your phone is not rooted yet to flash zip from recovery, you have to unzip it to get a TAR file and to put in PDA section of the ODIN.
but please read more
Okay mister ahmed.
your absolutely right I just ask for advices before manipulating in the fone. yeh I know how to use odin. It exists a method where the flash is maked on recovery mode thats why Ive asked that question.
Thanks a lot for your help I will try it now

As posted and before you make a brick read the instructions .
Recovery mode flash via CWM is for custom roms .

*facepalm*
Odin flashes are in download mode, not recovery. You have a lot more reading to do.
You have the kernel needed from the link posted previously.
1. Unzip the kernel and keep the tar file.
2. Set your phone in download mode by pressing vol down + power button.
3. Run odin and connect your phone to the PC while in download mode.
4. once odin sees your phone, click PDA and link to the tar file
5. Press the magic button and that should do it really.
Here is the link that says it all:

Hope that helps...

Hello all,
i've a strange problem with a galaxy s2 9100g
It was my mistake...i know that....i've flashed a ics cyanogenmod ICS on a 2.3.6 android with cwm.
And now I've a big problem with this phone....
I can't enter the download mode any more! 3 button trick doesn't work! I can only see a mobile phone a warning with a exclamation mark and a computer.
But the strange is that the windows pc is still detecting the phone as samsung mobile device. And ODIN shows a yellow device on com0.
Any Idea what I can do? How is it possible that ODIN detects the phone without download mode?
regards
MarcMarin

That mode you describe above where I bolded and underlined is a forced download mode, which is why Odin shows a connection. Just flash an i9100G firmware and you should be fine.
trying it!

I wouldn't use the .pit file unless flashing the firmware by itself didn't work first.
You're the best

I don't have an i9100G, so I don't make a habit to read up on ROMs and how-to's for that model. I'd check the I9100G development sub-section if I were you.

Actually, the Q&A is meant for all the i9100 models and their sub-variants. The i9100G sub-forum is meant for development only. Read the stickies in there, there's one stating that.
