Hello everyone, currently i'm using the CF-ROOT KF3 kernel but it's 2.3.3 and i'm not getting any updates so i thought it would be better to update the kernel myself, but...
1) On the CF-ROOT page Chainfire said to choose the closest kernel version to the stock, is it just to keep the phone as close as possible to the original or it's a compatibility requirement?
2) As far as i know, CF-ROOT does not change the modem or csc. Are the improvements of the 2.3.5 mostly related to the kernel or to the modem and csc also?
3) Any special "flavor" of 2.3.5 recommended? I mean, there's a bunch of zips in that thread...
Phone info:
PDA: XWKF3
PHONE: XXKF1
CSC: JVKF1
Thanks
Just use the secure one if you don't need the ADB.
The one from my sig works best, IMO, because 4.2 uses SuperUser 3.0, which has some 'issues' as of yet unresolved.
I'd suggest you use XX_OXA_KI3: 2.3.5 4.1
Thanks! Is it better to flash the kernel via Odin or CMW?
Weird, i have used CMW, it rebooted but it's still 2.3.3
Edit: I've tried to install via CMW boot screen and it says Installation Aborted with XX_OXA_KI3

No you can use any kernel if upgrading .
2) As far as i know, CF-ROOT does not change the modem or csc. Are the improvements of the 2.3.5 mostly related to the kernel or to the modem and csc also?
2.3.5 is a firmware package new firmware new kernel new modem.
A kernel is part of the firmware .
3) Any special "flavor" of 2.3.5 recommended? I mean, there's a bunch of zips in that thread...
Pick the one with CSC that matches your location .

Yes but Chainfire states that it's only the Kernel, extracted from the original firmware package, so, is the sound improvement, better battery life, etc bound to the kernel only, or i need the whole package?
And i can't just pick a firmware because my region is still stuck in 2.3.3.

Hi,
Recently i've updated my SGS2 to the latest via Kies having the below version
Check using *#1234#
PDA: DXKI2
PHONE: DXKI1
CSC: XXKH1
Gingerbread 2.3.3
After that i've downloaded the stock firmware of XXKI3 from Intratech cause i want to use 2.3.5. And flash it via odin. Now when i check my setting, its reflected as the same above.
However when i go to settings, the kernel version change to XXKI3. And still Gingerbread 2.3.3.
I need advise what i did wrongly.
Thanks in advance

It seems that you downloaded and flashed a file that contained only the kernel and not the entire firmware. Their are two download links, one for the full firmware package and one for the stock kernel.
a kernel is different from a firmware.

I think I only flash the kernel. I'm now downloading the full firmware on XXKI3. So just to confirm that I should be flashing the full firmware of XXKI3 in order to get Gingerbread 2.3.5?
Thanks

Yes.full firmware is something 200+mb and kernel file is only 5+mb.
Be careful what version of ki3 you are going to flash
The original one has the new bootloader and you can not reset the counter with jig

How to see whether its the original firmware with the new bootloader?
I got the one from intratech on version XXKI3. Is that the new original?

Hello everybody,
I'm going to install a new ROM - it was advised to me frankstain XWLA4 ROM - and I still have some question about installing that ROM:
1- which do I install first: the firmware or the kernel? And in Odin, where do I put Kernel?
2-Is it "safe" to install frankstain XWLA4 ROM? Would I have errors on my Samsung Galaxy S2?
3- how can I wipe my device (to clean all Vodafone ES "rubbish")? Should I do the wipe before or after installing the ROM and flashing my device?
4- By installing Stock ROM and CF-root I won't change the kernel right?
Thanks.
yellow simbol is not error. u get it when u put custom rom. but u can move it. chainfire make app for that.

In fact my main question is: which do I install first: the firmware or the kernel? And in Odin, where do I put Kernel?
The others I think I know the answer but this question is essencial so I can start to install the new Firmware.
LA4 is very stable I've been running it for the last two days with no problems. If you flash a CF kernel you will have a different kernel but it will be as close to stock as possible just with a couple of extra features. You can down load the the original firmware/kernel from intratechs thread. All you need to do is flash a frankesten LA4 from intratech, it's all in one so you just use pda in odin.

Thanks man but I don't know what's LA4 ROM... and a buddy of our on anoher thread recommended me frankstain XWLA4 ROM and so I would like to install it.
For example, in this case:
"XWLA4
Android 2.3.6
There is no carrier branding
This package has: PDA: XWLA4| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2
Download: http://uploadmirrors.com/download/3V...I9100XEUKH2.7z
XWLA4 Stock Kernel: http://uploadmirrors.com/download/0M..._I9100XWLA4.7z
Password: [email protected]
"
What should I install first? Kernel or the firmware? And where do I put Kernel on Odin?
Thanks.

Yes. Those "Frankenstein" packages are stock, except Intratech mixed and matched the PDA, CSC, and modems. They just won't get recognized by Kies as a valid updateable firmware because of this though.

Flash an unbranded stock firmware. Post #2 above the Frankenstein firmwares of the same thread. Or the Frankenstein ones. The only difference is the non-Frankenstein ones will probably be recognized by Kies as upgradeable, and the Frankenstein ones will probably not.

Wrong. If you install just stock ROM, yes. CF-Root is a custom kernel, so if you install that, you ARE changing the kernel.

As above, most if not all firmwares come with a kernel. If you want a custom kernel you must flash it AFTER you flash a firmware. Else if you flash a kernel first, then the firmware, then the firmware's kernel will overwrite the kernel you flashed first.
Kernels generally go in the PDA section of Odin.
EDIT: I think I see your confusion. You're wondering about the "stock kernel" link that's right below the firmware link. Right? Well that's there just in case you need it. For example, if you flashed a CF-Root kernel, and wanted to flash the stock kernel back. If you never end up flashing a non-stock kernel, then you won't need it. But I'd download it anyways, just in case you need it later.

1.XWLA4 is 2.3.6 so if you want to install a ROM with this Firmware and you are already on 2.3.6 then you dont need to flash anything.Root and flash the ROM.You need to flash a 2.3.6 firmware if you are on 2.3.5 for example before flashing a XWLA4 ROM.
1A. A kernel goes in PDA in Odin.
2.Its safe to install any ROM as long as you follow the instuctions that the Dev provides.You will have problems if for example you are on,as I already mentioned,2.3.5 and flash a 2.3.6 ROM.Always flash a ROM thats compatable with your Firmware.Frankenstein has firmwares not ROMs.Developers have ROMs.
3.To get rid of carrier apps all you need to do is flash a Firmware or custom ROM.Thats all.After flashing a Firmware its a good idea to do a factory reset.
4.By installing a CF-Root kernel you are changing the stock kernel for a root kernel.Kies will still work with a stock Firmware and root kernel.Kies OTA updates will not work with a custom ROM nor updates via Kies.
You diserved many thanks man
EDIT: I think I understand what you're saying... As my actual firmware is 2.3.5 and I have a stock Kernel (I never touched it since I have my phone), I just have to install the 200MB file on Odin with the 2.3.6 firmware and that's ok?

Good work man. You said "You need to flash a 2.3.6 firmware if you are on 2.3.5 for example before flashing a XWLA4 ROM"... So, in this case I have a Vodafone ES 2.3.5 ROM so before installing XWLA4 I have to install another 2.3.6 ROM? Is this it?

Although, a friend of ours on xda said to me that XWLA4 is excellent firmware so I would like to install it, but I don't know what to install first on Odin, the Kernel or the 200MB ROM are you understanding?
Click to expand...

*sigh*... I'm understanding. It's pretty clear you are not.
Please read the "Edit" portion of my post above again. You don't need to install the kernel at all. That kernel is the stock kernel. It is already in the ROM. The only reason it is linked separately is if you flashed a different, non-stock kernel, and later wanted to flash back to a stock kernel.
If you DO want to flash a custom kernel, then you will ALWAYS have to flash it AFTER you flash a ROM. Because the kernel that is included with the ROM will overwrite whatever kernel is on the phone.

Not if it's stock. Depends on what he was talking about. Some custom ROMs require you to be on the same base version (i.e. 2.3.6) before flashing them.
You should be able to flash the stock XWLA4 ROM right now, if you've not updated your phone at all yet.
The Frankenstein XWLA4 ROM too?

Yes. As stated, the only difference on Intratech's official firmware thread between the fully stock ROMs and the Frankenstein ones is he mixed and matched CSC and modems with PDAs on the Frankenstein ones. While this doesn't necessarily affect the operation of the phone, it will keep Kies from recognizing it as an updateable phone.
OK. Thanks and sorry for sending a private message at some seconds ago about this theme but I wanted to flash my new ROM
If I can help you on another thing, I'm available.
Thanks all xda good useres like you guys.

PM ignored, then. Good luck.
I've already installed the firmware and have made root. All OK except that I do *#272*Device IMEI# with my IMEI in order to install my CSC and it always says ATL and doesn't let me write TPH and if I click on install with ATL letters it says it needs only 3 letters!
Can you help me on this situation?

EDIT: what are you trying to do, exactly?
Look at this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
On Frankenstein Firmware's it says:
"For MultiCSC packages you can change between csc by typing *#272*Device IMEI# into the dial pad and selecting the csc of your choice and press install. It will reset the device."
So I installed a Frankenstein firmware and to install my country CSC - Portugal - I have to do something else right? So I've done *#272*Device IMEI# in order to install my CSC and it always shows "ATL" and doesn't let me write "TPH" - the letters for my country - and if I click on install with "ATL" letters it says it needs only 3 letters!
I want to install my CSC so I can browse the Web and receive MMS on my Samsung Galaxy S2.

That will work if you have a multi CSC pack and the Firmware that you have installed does not.You cant type in your CSC,you have to select it from the list.Not all Frankenstein Firmwares have multi-CSC packs thats why at the bottom of the page there is a list of other CSCs to flash at your own choice.If you look at the Firmware you have flashed to your phone (XWLA4) it clearly states "CSC: XEUKH2" which is for the Great Britian region.At the moment the links are down so you cant download any CSC packs so the only way to get your countries correct CSC is to flash a custom ROM that has a multi-CSC pack built in like I did.As for the ATL question...you said that you had an S2 from spain,correct?!..well ATL is the product code for Vodafone Spain.
EDIT:you can browse the web on another countries CSC although it may not be as good and MMS settings are provider set.You could flash XWKK(2.3.6) which has a CSC pack for the Netherlands but normally also a KOR one too.The KOR(KOREA) CSC works fine for Spain and Portugal.I would suggest a custom ROM to get the best out of your phone.There are a lot around.

yes you can but have a look in the general forums and you most than likely find a rooted version of the rom there. or just wait till later on today to flash it when Intratech gets his hands on it and chainfire releases a rooted kernel if there is not one already...have a search
What is new after Intratech gets to it?

probably comes with a bootloader that will not cause any troubles to your phone..think that it is..anyway just look on general section and there is threads there with more explanation and download links were you can download the rom if you so badly want it mate and just ask there if kernel has already been rooted or just check chainfires thread for the latest kernel that is rooted
this is rooted kernel from chain fire for the LPJ

1. Yes, you can. Install a 4.0.4 rom from CWM (if custom rom - zip file) or from ODIN (if stock rom - tar file)
2. You are not limited to 4.0.3 however if you like to stay on that you can flash any version including XWLPG (choose most suitable for).
3. You don't have to be specific.
There are however some basic rules to be followed:
- if you switch between different roms - full wipe is recommended to avoid any freezes, FCs etc
- if you move from 4.0.3 to stock 4.0.4 don't wipe anything just after flashing 4.0.4 rom due to possible brick bug. Imediately after flashing 4.0.4 stock rom flash one of the safe kernels (wihout wipes before) - eg. PhillZ-CWM6, Siyah, Dorimanx etc.

Yes, u can ma8 remember once rooted u can install any custom rom of ur choice, but the only thing u have to ensure is that those roms are meant for ur model ie I9100 and u should follow the install instruction given by the devloper's of that rom to perfection
