[Q] Regarding stock kernel for Samsung galaxy S II Vodafone Australia

Hello everyone, I've just recently switched from iPhone 4S to Android Galaxy S II
My phone info is given below:
Model: GT-I9100T
Android version: 2.3.5
Basband version: I9100TDUKJ1
PDA: I9100TDUKJ1
PHONE: I9100TDUKJ1
CSC: I9100TVAUKJ1
I have already followed the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 to root my phone. I used http://download.chainfire.eu/50/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_LUX_KJ1-v5.0-CWM5.zip and used Odin to flash it. I'm now having the yellow triangle which I want to get rid of. According to the instruction, it says "(4) Find an original Samsung signed stock kernel (preferably from the same stock firmware you have, but it's not terribly important)" however, the secure kernel link which I found from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671 does not seem to be listing any KJ1 version. Can anyone please provide me a link for downloading this? Would it be the one here?

Thanks in advance.

Samsung Galaxy S II Stock Kernel for VODAFONE AUSTRALIA
I'm still not able to get rid of the yellow warning sign even after following the instructions given here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14283369&postcount=2
(4) Find an original Samsung signed stock kernel (preferably from the same stock firmware you have, but it's not terribly important)
(5) Reboot into download mode (adb reboot download, or boot the device with home and volume-down pressed)
(6) Fire up ODIN, and flash the Samsung kernel
(7) Boot the device with the stock kernel. CWM Manager will still be available.
I guess my problem is not having the secured KJ1 kernel. Would anyone be able to help me please? I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks in advance.

Bump?

Thanks a lot for the bump. I believe I'm after this file but the download link appears to be dead as mentioned by many others.

metalmaze,
Your best bet would be to download the stock firmware from Samsung themselves. Unlike many other companies, Samsung has a database where all (or rather most) of their stock firmwares are stored.
Since I'm unable to post outside links on the forum for now, do a Google search for "SamMobile firmware" and click on the first link. You will have to register in order to download any files from SamMobile, but it is quick and free, definitely worth it.
Hope this solves the issue! Best of luck!

[Q] Samsung galaxy S II GT-I9100T Stock kernel for Vodafone Australia
Hey |Shadow|,
Thank you for your reply. I'm very confused to be honest. I have downloaded the stock firmware file from sammobile firmware website where the filename was I9100TDUKJ1_I9100TVAUKJ1_VAU.zip. However, few questions remained unanswered because of which I didn't do anything with it.
1. This I9100TDUKJ1_I9100TVAUKJ1_VAU.zip is the original/stock firmware. What shall I use to put this inside the phone? Odin? or the CWM "Slash Stock firmware" ? Is there a difference in between these two methods?
2. If I install that firmware in the phone, wouldn't that unroot my phone again? If that's the case, then CWM will disappear and I'll have to put an insecure kernel again and then root it. So it'd be like back to square 1.
3. Although my phone is I9100TDUKJ1 running Gingerbread 2.3.5, can I use the insecure kernel hotfile.com/dl/145373032/054a67a/GT-I9100_JPKJ2_insecure.zip.html to flash first, root the phone and then use hotfile.com/dl/145373034/3731622/GT-I9100_JPKJ2_original.zip.html to get rid of the yellow exclamation mark? Would that work?
4. I'm asking #3 because I believe I've tried doing that and it did get rid of the yellow mark but when I launched CWM, it said the kernel version is different and many features have been disabled due to this.

Hey metalmaze,
Sorry that it took so long for me to get back to you, it took quite a bit of time to figure out exactly what you need to do to root the Samsung Galaxy SII (i9100 or in your case the i9100T) as I have the Samsung Galaxy S+ (i9001). With that being said, I think I found your solution
The stock firmware I told you to download is, in fact, only really used as a backup as you cannot (or at least not without great difficulty) separate the kernel and rom from the firmware. So if I were you, I would keep this file somewhere in case something ever happens to your phone and you need to restore it before sending it back to Samsung or Vodafone.
In the event that you have to flash back to the original stock firmware you can either use Kies or Odin (select as "One Package") and you should end up with a stock I9100T phone.
Now onto the topic at hand:
You have the KJ1 kernel on your phone at the moment and unfortunately there is no dedicated insecure kernel available yet, but there is another solution, or rather two:
1. You could use the KJ2 kernel:
hotfile.com/dl/143536280/cc63681/GT-I9100_XWKJ2_insecure.zip.html
hotfile.com/dl/143536361/ee49702/GT-I9100_XWKJ2_original.zip.html
or,
2. You could use the KI8 kernel:
hotfile.com/dl/143535921/572ad8d/GT-I9100_XWKI8_insecure.zip.html
hotfile.com/dl/143536103/be9ed09/GT-I9100_XWKI8_original.zip.html
If you look at the reference codes of Samsung: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800257 you will notice that KI8 is the firmware released just before KJ1, while KJ2 was released just after KJ1. Thus, both firmwares are extremely similar to the KJ1. The XW just means that it is an international firmware and thus you should not have ant problems with compatibility with Vodafone.
From other members on the forum, it seems that the preferable choice is the KI8 firmware, but as I said, you can use either.
I really hope that this solves your rooting problem! Best of luck!

what is [email protected]#2 mean?

Hi,
I'm very new to play around with the handphone firwmware.
I read a lot of articles and had tried some stock firmwares with Odin .

2.6.35.7-N7000DXKL3-..... [email protected]#2
2.6.35.7-perf-...... [email protected]#1
at Kernal version section of "About phone".
This is my quetions:
1.What is those "[email protected]#1" mean for?

May i know how to determine it?
I knew the best way to get the stock firmware is backup from the temporarily update files of KIES .
yet , obviously KIES is not providing firmware update to some of the older model anymore. eg: GT-S5830.
my GT-S5830 came with FROYO, region: MM1 @2011.02 .
I changed the region to:XSO (the only csc KIES can recognize at sg),
it still refuse to update and show a popup warning : 'GT-S5830' does not support initialising.
so, i have to count on Odin .

Changing the region may cause malfunction.
Get your firmware from SamMobile.com

thanks . after comparing the hash, very sure the old one is genuine too.
btw, after updating to gingerbread v2.3.6 DXKT5(XSO) .
I found my Samsung GT-S5830 lost the ability to act as Mass Storage in PC/TV/Set-top-box.
although we can get around this problem in pc, by installing the latest samsung usb driver in each pc .
Just wonder if anybody ever solve this problem ?
or, Is it possible to solved this problem, if i revert back to have old firmware: Froyo,DXKC1
I can't try it yet , coz all download links i found on internet is dead.

Can a root device be upgraded?

Hi all
A week ago a rooted my Samsung Galaxy S6 device following this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016
All was OK. At that point my device is using the Android Version: 5.0.2
The question I have is that now the version 5.1.1 (Lillipop) has been released, I would like to know if my rooted device can still be upgrading when the new version is released in my region (Mexico) by the phone provider. (Telcel). In case it cannot be updated automatically, I guess I will need to do it manually or unroot my device. In that scenario, Does someone know a good tutorial how to do that?
Regards!

@LesthadMK, sure you can update rooted devices. But it may not be possible via OTA update. You will have to download the full firmware and install it manually.
Because root makes changes to system partition, OTA fails when you have rooted. If you unroot and flash stock recovery and kernel back, then OTA may work. Otherwise, simply flash the full firmware, in .tar format using Odin software, and you're good.
It's good to have full firmware saved on PC anyway, as if in case you brick your device, you can fix it by installing your device's firmware manually.
If you need help with 5.1.1 firmware installation on your s6, let me know the build no. of your device.. I will guide you to page you need to look at.

Thanks for the help. I have download Odin in case I need to do it manually.
Also, mentioned that yesterday I read an article saying that using the Samsung software "Smart Switch" in an rooted device will upgrade the device to the newest version (which I don't know if it it's true or not) Any way this is the link I found:.... Well seems since I'm newby I cannot post some external links. So just google it as: How to Use Smart Switch to Update Your Galaxy S6—Even It's Rooted.
By other hand, this is the build number for my device: G920IDVU1AOE3, so if you can help me to know how to upgrade that version that would be very helpful
Regards!

Lost root G930F

Hey guys, i woke up yesterday with no root access on my GS7 outta the blue, it's been working fine earlier until now, i tried to reflash the cf auto root by chainfire again and again and it seems that root would not install on my phone.
Please is there any solution or an updated version for cf auto root to fix this problem ?

Yes, this seems to be a widespread problem. See these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/lost-root-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-t3378618/page2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/sm-g935-exynos-cf-auto-root-t3337354/page41
Hopefully Chainfire can fix CF-Autoroot soon. If anyone has a way to easily ping him please do that.
For now I'm going to just hunker down and wait for a fix before starting from scratch.

i just noticed this myself, disabled security updates but no permissions to flash the binary... weird

i have lost root too, suddenly i cant log in to TB.
any ideas?

Not sure what versions you are using or if this will help but I had issues with 2.71 I have had none with 2.68

For those who lost root on the G930F, see my post in this thread for a process to restore root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/sm-g930-exynos-cf-auto-root-t3337353/page22
Chainfire explains the background behind the loss of root here and the updates he did to CF Autoroot to address the loss of root issue:

on what build are you

re
Hi i'm on Samsung S7 Flat also.
I've tried searching threads on how to do it but i was unable to find the exact firmware with the same CSC version for my device.
I'm afraid that i could have my phone bricked if i flashed the firmware having different CSC version.
Can anybody give me a hand to fix this? I'm attaching all my phones info for details.
By the way i rooted my phone using CF root and lost it probably because of Samsung's Security Update.
PDA Version: G930FXXU1APD1
Bootloader Version: G930FXXU1APD1
CSC Version: G930FOLB1APD3
Thanks!

Chainfire indicated that you only really need to match the PDA firmware version, and as he's the one behind CF Autoroot you should probably take his word on that. See here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66937745&postcount=222
So you should be fine if you download a firmware zip file with that PDA firmware version (regardless of the CSC firmware version and country code) and extract the boot.img from that and then follow the remaining steps I posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=66934553#post66934553
I downloaded my exact firmware (PDA Firmware Version, CSC Firmware Version and Country Code) out of an abundance of caution, but probably would have been fine just downloading a firmware zip file that just had the same PDA firmware version.
For the previous poster who asked, my build number is MMB29K.G930FXXU1APB4

Samsung On5 G550T1 MetroPCS REV0.4 stock OS anyone?

Hi All,
The short of a long story is that I just changed carriers and found out way late that I couldn't bring my Sprint phone to MetroPCS. So now I'm using the budget PCS On5 that came with the deal when we signed up.
I successfully loaded TRWP and then rooted however, I didn't know about FRP until it smacked me in the face. The root went fine but later SU prompted me to update the binary and when it did, it tripped factory reset protection and soft bricked my phone.
I want to reinstall stock OS on this phone but it appears that I have a software version that I haven't been able to find on the web yet. I found the stock rom for the MetroPCS On5 easily enough but it's Revision 0.0 and the box I have for the phone says REV0.4.
When I try to Odin Flash the REV0.0 version, I get SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2, BINARY 1 fail. So I guess I had the latest software on my phone and the phone thinks I'm trying to roll back using the 0.0 revsion.
My question is this, does anyone here have the stock rom for G550T1 REV0.4? Help!
If nobody does, maybe I can still fix this phone. I have a TRWP backup from the sister phone (same model same revision 0.4) that I'm using right now but I can't get back into TRWP on the soft bricked phone to recover that way to use the backup file.
Next I thought I might take the backup files and turn it into a rom and just flash that. However, with the tutorials I followed I kept running into problems. When I went to unpack the files per the tutorial, my rar software said that the file was corrupt. Maybe it is. but maybe not. It was my first time attempting to make a rom. If I can't find the software I need, could any of you Android geniuses help me get this backup into a flashable format?
I have to admit I'm daunted by the FRS in 5.0 and above. Is it defeatable? How do you root newer Android versions?
Thanks!

I did the same thing to my phone. did you get yours fixed?> if so could you provide me with the rom?

I haven't found the fix yet. Hopefully somebody will come through with a helping hand!

I finally got it figured out! So here is what i did and hopefully it will work for you.
1. I Odin flashed a good BL from the ROM REV0.0 floating around on the net. So at least I could now get into download mode.
2. Then I used Kies3 > Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation. It will ask you for your model number and then when you click ok it will ask you for a SN.
3. The trick is that Samsung doesn't put the SN that you need on the phone or the box. (personally, I couldn't find it on the phone either once I got it up and running) so go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/root-samsung-galaxy-on5-t3435457/page46 and get a SN from post #454 and use that. (don't forget to say thanks)
4. Click Ok. Let it work, and max and relax.
Mine took about 10 minutes. Hopefully this will work for you too! Thanks XDA!

Help!
What is BL from the ROM REV0.0? I need your help, I have the MetroPCS On5 and I installed Reborn ON5 I want to go back to the MetroPCS ROM because the camera and the audio do not work and I tried to install the original ROM through Odin but it does not work I get an error. What I can do? I would like to use this method but I do not have very clear files needed.
You could help me bro, I'll thank you
