Hi,
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I have been looking through all the forums for days now and cant find a answer...
I'm trying to root my galaxy s2 'WKI4' I have downloaded the insecure and orginal kernels. But when I upzip them instead of a .tar file there is only a zimage. Can someone please tell me how to change the zimage into the .tar file or where I can get the two .tars
Thanks

It's CWM Recovery package.
The zimage is the kernel.
Make your file extensions visible, or view properties to confirm you're not mistaking the tar for a zip. tars will share the same icon as any other archive file, zip, rar, etc...
Wow i just assumed it was another .zip because the same pic... I feel really stupid now lol
Well thanks for the quick reply guys

I made the same mistake once. It felt like an Abbott and Costello routine until I figured it out. Glad to help out.

Windows stupidly hides extensions by default, its both an attack vector (.exe.jpg's or w.e) and makes hard to work out what a file is at times.
WKI4 Insecure Kernel
Hello peeps! I looking for a WKI4 Latest insecure kernel and im having a right nightmare. Any help would be must appreciated, i have looked through many threads but little luck. Thanks guys!
I need the stock ROM and modem file to flash in Odin but cannot find them anywhere. Does anyone know where I could find a download link for these? I believe they have to be .tar files. Thanks

Hope this helps. Just do a quick search, pretty easy to find.
edit: Wow didn't realize most the links are down. multiupload gone?
Thank you very much! I'm pretty sure the government took down multiupload sometime last week or the week before. Thats why I couldn't find files anywhere!
AS posted, all the information is already in a sticky thread.. please keep further discussion there.
Planning on picking up a note next week, I've looked at the dev page for root instructions but I can't really make heads or tails of them and all of the videos I view seems to be the international version. Can anyone confirm of root or is is a work in progress and I should just wait.
It works via odin and is really easy

Coming from a Dell Streak this was a whole different process but it was really easy.
Now, seems the rooting/unrooting of the European version does not makes your rom count go up (please excuse my lack of proper terminology) therefore you can return your phone to stock (ex. for a warranty claim) without Samsung knowing you have mess with the rom. Is that the same for this version and if not is that in the works? How about unrooting the phone?
Thanks.
I have yet to hear one single actual case where Samsung denied a hardware claim because of the counter. People are going root counter crazy around here. C'MON ITS XDA! This is why we are all here, right??

I guess I have to apologize for asking a question in a developer forum... I thought I had a valid question and I asked it. Dont know what bein in XDA has to do with the question.
Ciao.

You have to download the file. There are links to everything you need in Da_G's root threads in the dev section. Download, extract, then browse to the file via Odin, just like you tried above.
Edit: Actually with this one you don't even need to extract it. Its already a .tar file.

Your phone's the SPH-L710, amiright? Download one of the firmwares from this page (I recommend going with the latest one on 4.1.2). The firmware file is going to be rather large (maybe around 1 Gigabyte). Once it is complete, download Odin from here, and you can find a simple explanation on how to use it here. You're going to have to extract the .tar (or .tar.md5) file in the firmware .zip you downloaded earlier. That .tar.md5 goes under 'one package' in Odin. If you have any questions or you are unsure of anything, don't proceed until you understand it all. You can seriously mess up your device if you make a mistake. Feel free to PM me all your concerns and questions. I'll help.

Just updated,
But the download was only ~39megs.
The description was improved Voice over LTE.
Maybe this will cure my random reboots.

why do you need a firmware tar? by the way how did you find that page? good find book marked it. i first flashed the full tar in mobile odin and then just the bootloader with pc odin isnt that everything?
somebody posted it in one of my other threads i thinks it was on the ng4 tread isn't that the way we did it before full tar in mobil odin then just the firmware+modem thru pc odin

the firmware only file has the bootloader and the modem. as well as other things probably csc, the full tar file has everything. the problem is that mobile odin does not flash the bootloader so all you need to do is flash the bootloader. if you notice in beanstown thread he has firmware only file and modem only and kernel and fulltar but not bootloader only which is all you really need to flash with pc odin . i checked the phone info app and everything is on nh5. just put the bootloader file in the bl slotand flash. dont bother changing anything else in odin . there is a section that is unchecked in pc odin that says phone bootloader update. leave it unchecked i dont know what happens. if you do check it but the bootloader updates fine without ticking it.also no need to flash modem as it gets upgraded when you flash the full tar in mobile odin

If you don't care about Knox being tripped, just flash a custom recovery tar in odin, then download and flash the SU zip in the link by Chainfire. http://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/
Drop Box link is shut down - too much traffic - does anyone have an alternative mirror I can download from?
