Hello to everyone, im new here, but i cant find a good kernel for my SGH-i777 with jelly bean 4.1.2, anyone can help me with a link of a good kernel for my device? but i cant put the kernel called "AJK" because this kernel urts my camera, and I can not open the camera when i put "AJK" kernel, and STi No power on the device when I put this kernel only appear the samsung logo, and my screen turns black and does nothing more, if anyone knows a kernel without, or with less bug, pls pot it here, thx for ur help. :good:
First off, please use a normal font size. You're not just shouting, you're screaming.
AJK v2.0.2s should be compatible.
You could also try one of Jebo's kernels from here. That is CWM flashable but I assume you already have a custom kernel on it.

No bro, I don't have a custom kernel, because I don't find one that does not give me any bug with the camera, or any important application, and can not find any tutorial to put cwm on jelly bean, if you had any, I would appreciate if you pass me the link, thx.

Several people have stated that they successfully rooted 4.1.2 using Framaroot. You could root if you are not rooted already, then install Mobile Odin Lite or Mobile Odin Pro and use it to install any kernel you want. Both tools are used on the phone, so it doesn't even require a PC.
While they are a bit outdated (they're written for Gingerbread and ICS), the guides linked in my signature will explain the basics of the procedure.

Yeah, well, the problem is that nobody post odin kernel in extensión.tar, if not, I had flashed with odin :/, and i try with Framaroot but my device turn freeze and reset again and again (PD: when i try using Framaroot i select a xploit called Aragorn)

At least three people have reported that Framaroot worked using the Aragorn exploit, after they updated their phone to 4.1.2 via Kies. So, I'm sorry it doesn't work for you.
You will probably not find a kernel in tar format. So, you will have to root and use Mobile Odin. (This is a completely different program than Odin.)
...or you could flash mr-cook's Cooked v1.1 rom from the development forum. The Cooked rom has a debloated stock system, with root, busybox, and the AJK 2.0.5ns kernel. This is probably your best bet for a working system, but you will need to install a kernel with ClockworkMod recovery. If you are unable to get root on 4.1.2, you could always flash stock plus root 4.0.4 I777ULCL6 and follow the guide in the OP of that thread to install a custom kernel. Then you could flash the Cooked rom.

Hi S2 user, :angel:
I will buy a new S2 phone soon. I need a little help from you guys. I need to know something about S2 :laugh:
My old phone is Xperia Arc S. This phone need following step to flash kernel and rom.
Kernel:
For flash a new kernel, I need to unlocked the bootloader first. Then this phone can flash any kernel anytime. But unlocking the bootloader will void the warranty.
Rom:
For flash a new rom, as long as the rom does not need to have specific kernel, in other word, stock based rom, no unlocked bootloader required. Just install the CWM and flash the rom.
How about S2 guys? Do I need to unlock something before flash kernel and rom? Can someone explain clearly or likes how I explain my old phone.
p/s- i read in some thread, doing a factory reset in cwm will make S2 brick? hard brick? can't even power on the phone. OMG is it true?
its very scary because in Xperia Arc S, i always flash a new rom. flasholic
I don't want my new S2 brick
I hope you guys can help me. Thanks

You don't have to unlock. Just download Odin and flash all the ROMs/kernels you want. As for the cwm brick bug, your phone will only brick if you factory reset through CWM in 4.0.4. In other versions you should be fine.

The brick Bug problem by 4.0.4 only with Stock Kernel ! when you have 4.0.4 on your phone you flash a save Kernel (Siyah, Dorimanax .....) with Odin (only Odin not Cwm )
and it was save .After you can flash wath you want

I see. So the brick bug actually come from the kernel inside firmware 4.0.4. Not the entire 4.0.4 firmware. Is other custom kernel likes you mention (Siyah, ..) is 100% safe?

You factory reset when installing ROMs to make sure there are no errors. Plus with siyah kernels, you can't be 100% sure your phone won't brick when factory reset in CWM. Best is to flash 4.0.3 before doing anything else.

Guys.. 1 more question.
When I get my S2, I plan to flash custom rom like aosp or aokp but not stock rom.
Do I need to root my S2 first before flash any rom? Because my Xperia Arc S, I do not need to root because root come inside with the custom rom zip. So when I flash a new rom, my Xperia automatically root. No need to do other step.
I'm curious about this because I see in some thread, talking about cf root or something like that. The thread is very updated. Looks like it very necessary to do it at least once to have root before flash any custom rom.
Please explain for me about this root. Thanks guys.

I'm not sure about CF root though. Although the ROM I am in now has built in kernels, I still think its best to root first as some ROMs may not have the built in kernel (never searched other ROMs not entirely sure). I might recomment siyah kernel though

Some people want to simple root their phone and don't care too much for custom roms and stuff. So for such people, they can simply root their phone using one of the many rooting methods mentioned.
However, if your primary aim is to install a custom rom/ kernel, you can use Odin to flash a custom kernel on your phone. (like siyah, dorimanx, Philz, the list goes on..) and you'll have root. Thereafter you can install a custom rom compatible with the kernel. Earlier on it was simple. Flash siyah or dorimanx and any custom rom will work on it. Kinda like a 'one size fits all' deal. However, right now with new mali drivers etc, some versions of a kernel are reqd based on which rom you plan to install. (JB with new mali drivers or JB without those new mali drivers/ICS)
CF-Root is the method I'd used..but right now it's not recommended, since if you're on certain 4.0.4 firmware, that is susceptible to the emmc brickbug I'm sure you've read about. Siyah, dori, etc kernels are safe.

For S2 we can. Because it won't increase your flash counter. But I never tried flashing through CWM.

There are two ways of flashing a kernel.
1. Use the .tar version of the kernel and flash via Odin
(the same way you'd flash the cf-root kernel you'd mentioned in a post above. I'll assume you know the steps as they're mentioned in chainfire's post. Or there are many posts on that topic)
Advantages: tried and tested route, simple one step method. You're rooted and have a custom kernel in about 30 secs.
Disadvantage: You rely on Odin and the connection to your computer which some don't trust. Increases flash counter.
2. Use the .zip version of the kernel and flash via CWM.
Since in this case you need CWM to start off with, you can use Rachmat3's method described HERE to get temporary CWM first.
Advantages: No computer needed. Everything happens through your phone. Flash counter isnt increased.
Disadvantages: Can be a little finicky at times..but you'll get there eventually. Involves 2 steps. First get temporary CWM, then install custom kernel via cwm.
You can start off with a very popular kernel. Gokhanmoral's siyah kernel.Both the zip and tar versions are available downloadable from HERE

Another disadvantage of "not using" odin is when you cant enter cwm.
I use cwm and mobile odin.I flashed a kernel and couldnt access cwm nor phone would boot.
So I had to fix it using my pc via odin.
Hi!
I was hesitant to open a new thread, especially since I watched the noob video before registration. But since I really want to make sure that what I am doing is correct, I have decided to post this.
I have SGS2-I9100 with ICS (so my firmware version is XWLPD). I will be using this tutorial to root my phone (How to Root Galaxy S2 i9100! [ICS][Android 4.0+] -on galaxys2root dot com) I am familiar with the basic terminology and also understand the principles of rooting. However, I do have a question about which CF-kernel am I supposed to flash. I found two of those (v5.3 and v5.4):
From the tutorial (i can't post outside links) - v5.3
And from Android authority - v5.4
Which one should i use and are they both ok with XWLPD firmwares?
(And don't I need an original kernel after the rooting? With previous tutorials, there was always an insecure and a secure kernel)
And after the device is rooted, what is the best thing to do? I am thinking: first I would flash Clockworkmod Recovery 4.0.1.4 (and backup my original ROM), and then install TITANIUM BACKUP for contacts, apps etc. Is that good?
I really appreciate all your help!

I am not sure about CF-Root, but I recommend siyah kernels because its safer. It should also work with your firmware version. If you are on 4.0.4, best not to have CF-Root and wipe data through CWM since you might brick your phone. CWM also comes with siyah
Sent from my potato.
I have 4.0.3.
Thank you for your answer!
however...
Well, this has confused me a little.
So instead of CF-kernel I should use Siyah kernel? (@ gohkanmoral dot com right?). And then flash it with ODIN 1.85. And that is it?
And CWM is allready a part of the kernel, so if power off my phone then i can reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery by holding down Volume Down, Home button, and Power button together?
I am sorry for my lack of understanding.

Yes, u can use Siyah kernel V4.1.5 from www.gohkanmoral.com ( u should Dwnld the file from 'Download Tar (for Odin) link).
this kernel will root ur phone running Ics 4.0.3 and will also install the latest 6.x Recovery and also a dedicated 'CWM' app in ur app drawer which u can use to boot into recovery
Ps- its always better to clarify if in doubt rather than getting Stuck!!

Your original ROM doesn't matter. Just make sure your kernel supports the custom ROM then it will work.

the best way to say what is your best option is to try ROM by ROM
seriously, read the descriptions and choose the one that fits your needs, but before flashing new roms always do a nandroid backup, so you can restore your previous rom in case of troubles or if you just not like the new one

Well I wouldn't bother with that rom just yet unless you go for teh previous version as people have had battery issues with that one.
In any case the simplest way is to reboot into download mode and flash Siyah kernel (.tar) via ODIN. Once this is flashed reboot into recovery wipe data/factory reset and then flash the custom rom zip of your choice. (DO NOT DO THIS IS STOCK KERNEL, YOU MUST FLASH CUSTOM LIKE SIYAH)
Btw, If you had taken time time to look at the other "how do I root" type topics you would have already got your answer. Please use search or simply browse and research first before creating duplicate topics, we don't need any more of these, eleventy million is enough.
So I have rooted my classmate his Galaxy S2 with CF-Root, which I now realized was a big mistake. It seems that he when he opens his camera app, a black screen comes but he can still take pictures. He can't also access the YouTube app. Another thing is that he lost ALL his files on his intern memory (like pictures, music etc. Which was kind of weird, because I have never had such a problem.) He doesn't really care about losing his files, contacts etc. He just wants to take pictures and access YouTube again. I read on a different topic that flashing Siyah kernel would fix this? Also, IF I have to flash Siyah for him, I have to put the Siyah kernel file in Odin in PDA and hit start, right?
Sorry if this isn't a huge question. It's just that I have never flashed to a different kernel (I have always flashed Custom ROMs with the kernel provided in there). Also is there a chance of any errors, mistakes, something going wrong? I know I can always flash back to the latest stock ICS rom, but nothing big should happen when switching kernels? Or am I wrong?

If the phone is running on ICS you can flash siyah kernel 5.01 with odin. Its perfectly safe. Just install samsung kies for the drivers. And if your phone is running on GB do not flash siyah

If you have proper drivers installed its perfectly safe to flash siyah using odin. Do not wipe or restore nandroid backups on your current cf root recovery. You can do anything after flashing siyah or dorimanx kernel
It seems highly unlikely to me that CF-root started all this. Did you flash the correct CF-Root for the correct rom version? You didnt mention which version of CF-root you flashed or what version of the stock rom he has.
If you got no experience in other kernels, why not do a full wipe and start from scratch?

If it's of further help, he was on XWLPD and I've flashed CF-Root with the latest version. The rooting went flawless on Odin, he has CWM installed and has SuperSU on there and has root acces. The tutorial I followed was on XDA Developers, altough I can't find the link anymore.
I was actually thinking of starting from scratch like you said. It seemed easier for me haha.
I also read that CF-Root has a lot of bugs..

CF Root became obsolete after 4.0.4
Sent from the little guy
Apologies for the desperate newbie question, but here goes--
I have followed the instructions in the stickied tutorials or tried to follow them so far. I rooted my SGH-i777 using framaroot. No problem there.
I got Mobile ODIN and the latest siyah CWM. I flashed the kernel.
When I try to power on I get stuck at "SAMSUNG" and then phone appears to power off.
I can get into recovery mode using vol up, vol down and power. I see the Siyah screen, etc. But that's as far as I can go.
HELP!
It seems to be that you flashed the wrong kernel what kind of ROM are you running touchwiz or aosp

Thanks for your response. I flashed the latest Siyah kernel after reading the "How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter!!" thread. FWIW in recovery mode it says "CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2-Siyah"
I had actually factory reset my SGH-i777 before rooting and flashing so I was running the Touchwiz that comes stock with the SGH-i777.
Any steps I can take to get out from under this rock? :crying:

Yes. Not to worry.
It sounds like the system is incompatible with the kernel. You didn't say which version of the OS you were running before you installed the kernel. Do you remember what it was? Which stock comes with the phone would depend on how old the phone is.
How to proceed depends on what you want to do. If you want to install custom firmware, then I would suggest that you flash one of the stock plus root packages with Odin, and then use Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin pro to install the correct custom kernel, meaning one that is compatible with the system that you chose.

Thanks for your help.
It was 4.1.2. The phone was from near launch but I've upgraded the OS as Samsung has released them.
Ultimately I'd like to end up with CM10.1, but obviously that's a secondary concern at this point to a working phone
Sorry for being dense, but can you explain what you mean by "flash one of the stock plus root packages with Odin, and then use Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin pro to install the correct custom kernel?" Or point me to a thread/post that does so? Thanks again :good:

Here it is (the stock + root rom): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322046
It doesn't hurt to do some looking.
Use Odin v1.85 for the flashing (google it).
Then find a kernel for your phone (don't try Siyah again :b), like for example, Entrophy's kernel, and flash the zimage file using mobile odin.

OK. The AJK v3.0 NoSwap kernel is the only kernel compatible with stock AT&T JB 4.1.2. However, unless you can get it onto your sd card, it won't do you any good at this point.
So I would suggest you flash UCLL6 stock plus root which is 4.0.4 from here. The OP has the complete guide, and links to working custom kernels. Once you get it up and going with a custom kernel, you can then flash CM 10.1, or anything else you want.
Edit: Cooked v1.6 as suggested by azeem40 is not Odin flashable. It is a CWM flashable zip, so you would have the same issue getting it onto your sd card. The above is your quickest route.
