[Q] sgs2 i9100t - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys and gals, can anyone point me in the right direction? looking to root my sgs2 kernel version: 3.0.31-889696 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT KST 2013, but cant find my kernel version anywhere on the forum, was told to use CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4.zip but my phone wouldn't restart, just sat on the samsung screen with the yellow triangle, have recovered phone from this screen with PhilZ-cwm6-DVLSH-NZL-5.08.5.tar.md5 and seems to work fine, the reason i want to root is my phones system memory fills up by itself and the only way to alleviate the problem is to factory reset, but was told if i root the phone there is a setting to fix this problem. any help is appreciated. thanks

thanks for your reply, and sorry in advance for the noob question, but there are so many kernel versions to choose from and mine looks nothing like any of the others, could you possibly post a link to the right file for my phone? baseband:i9100tdvls3 kernel version:[email protected]#3smp preempt mon feb 18 kst 2013, its not CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4.zip, or am i doing something wrong?

You're not reading the CFRoot thread carefully enough for starters (you also don't revive an old thread & ask the same thing you've already asked in this thread you've created). Flash a custom kernel like Siyah or even PhilZ. Which version ? Read the Siyah or PhilZ threads to determine which version you need to flash for the Android version you're currently running.
If you still really want to use CFRoot, read the section under the bit in bold red that says 'Help! Which file do I use ?'. Read it a number of times. Carefully. There's no trickery or ambiguous language involved. It's really very simple to choose the kernel you need from there (The only hint I'm giving you: It doesn't have to be an exact match with your current kernel/build number).

Nah, just follow the instructions in my Helper Post to get a custom and rooted Jellybean ROM running on your device. If you want to move along to Kit Kat there's specific methods to follow, and those methods are outlined by the guy or gal that cooked the ROM you wish to try...

Tip: When getting a new device, before asking any questions in the device's relevant forum (you're in the right place), read all sticky threads before posting a question (you haven't).
thank you for pointing me to the stickies. for some reason they were not showing up while browsing with my phone. i will have a go at rooting this phone tomorrow if i get time.

Pointless doing any of the above until you have read the basic stickied guides and faqs or you will end up with a bricked device .
This is XDA Developers forum we don't spoon feed you are expected to learn some basic lessons first .

We're not going to regurgitate stuff step by step when it's been done thousands of times before here over the past two & a half years. There is a thread stickied near the top of Q&A which has a simple root method (and the whole point of having this thread stickied is so this stuff doesn't have to be posted in thread after thread for any n00b who can't search).
If that guide doesn't do it for you, search better. I mean, this phone was released 2.5 yrs ago, hundreds of thousands of people have rooted the phone with info found here, and that info is easily found by searching.
Same Phone Version... No kernel found.
I have the exact same phone description.
I went trought a lot of tread and list of kernel that I was suppose to choose from: I didnt find anything that correspond to my kernel version so far. It might be that I am not a total expert and that I am not able to recognise the proper download or we got a very rare version???
I tried a dozen so far, never work for all the possible reasons.
I know the process, I know all I need to know. I just dont find the one that fits my phone.
shanty31 Did you succeed finding one working? Anyone can only point out the proper kernel I need?
Thats gonna be my christmas present
Its not rare at all.Its the standard build for unbranded UK for starters.
kah!
Are you done spamming the board ? (you do realise mods will delete your posts if they see you're posting crap to get 10 up).

At least hes not moaning lol.......
Ok... not rare. But still. Does that help me?
ANY kernel I tried end up with my phone not booting, boot loop, not switching on.
In ALL the list of kernel I have found so far, not a single one ''look like'' to be corresponding to what I need. Is there something I dont understand?
Yes I am new to rooting, but I have read and try and test.
The only thing I know I am doing wrong is FINDING the kernel corresponding to what I need.
It is no use to post anything if it is only to laugh at me or to tell me obvious things... I have done my homework.
Thank you again gang!
Amit
I am still searching for the right kernel version to complete the step to root my phone, but unfortunately not able to do that.
If possible, any one can share the right link to root the above version of phone we have.
Thank you
Best Regards,
Amit

Hi! I found something that work :
You read that tread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270
In the post #3 there is instruction for a method without using Odin.
I used that file:
PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSZ-OJC-5.15.9-signed
Found at this location in SEARCH section: (or use Google)
http://d-h.st/
Don't Unzip the file, leave it as it is.
I was not expecting using that method... it end up to be easier and faster than Odin.
My phone is now Unlock and work perfectly
Leave me your feedback of how it went with your phone... or any question

[Q] Not Available Insecure Kernel for "...SMP PREEMPT..."

This should be my first try to root my SGS2 .
I began with watching root videos and figuring out which is the way to go. I ended up with this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCgncF59mwE
In the tutorial I needed to download an "Insecure" Kernel, so I went to the refered Link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619525) and followed to the site with the kernel versions(http://d-h.st/users/LyriquidPerfection/?fld_id=2886#files).
I searched through all of them but I couln't find mine so I searched on this forum for threads with the same problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909611
In this thread I should look at my BuildNo. but my Build called "[...]XWLSD" is not in the list with the Insecure Kernels!
Another thread included a link to this Kernel(http://www.gokhanmoral.com/) which should fix this problem, but as I am a real noob in Phone rooting etc. I can't tell if it is true.
The Question: Which Kernel should I get?
I really hope you can help me on this problem, here are my Phone-Specs:
Kernel: 3.0.31-889555 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 31 14:48:54 KST 2013
Build: JZO54K.I9100XWLSD
Android: 4.1.2
Model: GT-I9100
Make life easy for yourself, use the root method in the thread stickied near the top of Q&A titled ' Flash Stock firmware/ROM + Root'.

Sorry but I couldn't find any threads by searching after "Flash Stock firmware/ROM + Root", Flash Stock firmware + Root and "Flash Stock ROM + Root"
Could you please post the link to the related thread here?
Um, no, I will not.
If you can't find the thread stickied 8 threads above yours in Q&A, you shouldn't be messing with your phone in the first place. If experience is any guide, you'll probably break it.
