Hello,
I'm new to the android rooting scene, but I have a Galaxy S2 I9100P phone that I'd like to install a non-stock kernel in order to safely install CyanogenMod, as on the CyanogenMod wiki page for the S2, it states that it should not be installed on the stock kernel.
However, I cannot find a kernel that I think will be compatible with my phone. It is running 4.1.2 and the Kernel Version shows as 3.0.31-1246097.
Thanks in advance.
Which build version mate?
Look it up and then see Philz thread. You can find kernels for I9100P too. They can be flashed in stock recovery or via Odin.

Hello All
Do we have Custom Kernels for SHW-M250S (Korean version of Galaxy S2), runninc on ICS?
I know of one: Tegrak Kernel Build 36 but was looking for other options like the Siyah Kernel or similar. Apparently, gokhanmoral has released Siyah Kernel v2.6.14 for Gingerbread Korean roms but I could not find one for ICS Korean Roms.
Please help if you know of any
Thanks
Google "gokhanmoral siyah korean", I found version 2.6.13. Just flashed it onto my SKT S2 and can confirm that I was able to root my phone with it. We'll have to try to get gokhanmoral to port over a newer version sometime soon.
Just wondering if its safe to flash a rom like CM9 or even a gingerbread rom after updating the offical 4.0.3 update through kies. Thanks
You need root
You need cwm
use custom roms for your model only.

Hello everybody. I have a i9100 with pda: xwlpy, phone: xxlq6, csc: neelp6 on stock 4.0.4 and Dorimanx 5.92 kernel.
Untill now i didn't want CM because of the dialer (really like the Samsung dialer) and other small things, but now i want a clean, fresh install and start.
So i was wondering, can I install this stock LSJ 4.1.2, then root it (or should i install it with mobile odin and try to keep root? i preffer via pc but root is a must), then install Dorimanx 7.26 kernel with mali and then as a second rom this CM 10 4.1.2 ? Then i'll switch dorimanx to battery mode because i'm not that much into gaming.
Are this the latest releases? Any advice before i start working ? (now i'm downloading for ages the stock 4.1.2)
You can root LSJ but not with Dorimax kernel.
You cant use dual boot option (yet).
Yes XXLSJ is latest release.
ok, is that 4.1.2 stock recommanded or another download

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that stock 4.1.2 is a leaked test version and not a official samsung release for u
hence try some other stable Stock ICS 4.0.3 versions for now, till a official JB released from samsung
hm... any eta for that ? that would be great but i'm afraid i'll have to wait some months and move to another country, so i'll have little access to a pc to get in download mode and everything to make a really clean install
Hi all,
I have a galaxy s2, running 4.3.1 thanks to Paranoid Android. However,I would like to flash a new kernel that is supported by PA 3.99. I tried Dorimanx, but I lost root! I searched for many other kernels that Jelly Bean supports,but all for s3, nexus 4 or other phones. These kernels include Faux and many others...
Could someone help me as to how to keep root when flashing a new kernel and any advice about any kernel? (Note:I tried flashing the super user zip but doesn't help). Oh, and, dream kernel, siyah kernel and googy kernel either not compatible with JB or galaxy s2. Help please.

I am on android 4..12 PhilZ-cwm-6-XWLSZ-OJC-5.15.-9
Tried looking his thread but can't seem to find an update?
CWM Base version 6.0.3.7
Build version 5.15.9 i9100
compiled 30 sept 2013
How do I update to android latest, 4.4.4 and preferably also phil version I used??
I can't seem to update! Please assist.
you need a kitkat compatible kernel.. browse spirit roms thread for compatible kernels
afaik philz is based on stock so it isnt compatible with kitkat roms (maybe wrong)
