I'm trying to root my new samsung galaxy s2. The phone's kernel contains "kh7" in the kernel description. Where can I find an insecure kernel with kh7?

no success in finding a thread called [How To] Easily Root your SGS2
im sitting here in shock and amazement.....an entire forum section dedicated to a device and you cant find ANY information on what you need????
christ....
though it may look like i'm new on here...i've been using xda for a long time. i get u are eager to get all the answers u need but u do have to be diligent in reading through these forums. the questions u may come across will more than likely already be answered and if not...then ask.
long story short...check the threads, search the threads, check again, then ask

... no likey TouchWiz. AT. ALL.
So, I have a few questions:
1) I am currently on Firmware Version 2.2.1. Is this the "ED1" or "ED2" that I see listed in various postings?
2) I want to root - Real bad. I need to restore my apps & settings from my old Droid using MyBackupRoot. But, I also want to be able to unroot, if necessary - in case I need to return the phone. Can I root/unroot easily at this time?
Thanks!
¿GotJazz?
Be prepared, guys are gonna blow you up for asking this question!
You can root and you will need more info on what version you have ED1/ED2.
LOL @ 2.2.1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe you can read the forums or do a search.
Hey psalm462. how you doing? get your Droid Charge yet?
I *did* do a search before posting. Do you know how many posts (useful or otherwise) there are out there on this topic?
I saw earlier, my in my Settings >> About phone >> Build Number is SCH-i510.ED2 I'm assuming that means I'm on "ED2".
Regarding the rooting, I found this thread: HERE. This is for phones already on ED2.
Regarding the unrooting, I found this thread: HERE. You downgrade to stock ED1, and then take the OTA update to ED2.
GotJazz- Check out the development forums for the Charge. There are many threads regarding rooting/un-rooting.

Am I missing something here? The link above points to the Infuse 4G forum. I was not aware that the platforms were the same. If that is the case, then we have a working CWM mod ported from the captivate and a whole host of other roms to try.
If not, then somebody just borked a phone.

no but you can read one of the many stickied guides, i charge for hand holding
simplest way , edit build.prop file , change that 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 or whatever you see , to 4.0.3 , you are now on 4.0.3 ,
What my fellow smart asses are trying to say is: don't worry, you are at the right place. Everything you need to find out about your phone is located here in this forum, but you need to do some reading in order to find it. What you are concerned with can be located in "stickies"- the threads at top of the forums which are indicated by the thumbtacks at the far left of the thread. Don't be discouraged by all the threads. What you are concerned with are only the stickies. It is in your best interest to devote the time to read through the first page of these stickies BC 1. You don't want to permanently damage your very expensive phone and 2. You will be amazed by what this little device can do once you've done a little homework.

Unable To Root Prevail 2.3.6

I Have Tried All Root With Prevail 2.3.6 With No Success! If You Have Links I Could Really Use Them.
Thanks
This is easy!
Simply do a google search for this exact thing: "Rooting the Prevail for Dummies!"
It should be the first link on your search.
Some of the links in the post may not work but most will, for the ones that don't simply do a separate google search for the specified piece of software you may need and you will find the right links. Trust me I just rooted mine today, it's really easy, faster with a better internet connection, i'm writing this with the prevail's wireless tether app I just installed.
Hope this helped.
PS: I tried to put some links but since this is my first post in this forum I can't put links on my posts until i've written at least 10.
Hi, I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy S2 (SGH-T989) for T-Mobile and I might be switching to Verizon and getting the Samsung Galaxy S3. I rooted my S2 and installed the Jedi Mind Trick only a week ago and love it. I had no lag or issues other than an app or 2 crashing. Basically, I want to see what everyone is using for this phone and carrier (Verizon/SG3)...Is there a ROM called the Jedi Mind Trick here for this S3 on Verizon?
Thanks in advance...
Wrong section and there are already numerous threads asking for ROM recommendations.

Development section is only for ROM and kernel release threads. Your question thread should have gone in the Q&A section. Plus there are already quite a few threads asking for ROM recommendations or what ROMs people are running. Search the general and Q&A sections a little and you will find the threads and perhaps get an idea of what ROM you might want to run based on the responses in those already existing threads.

1) wrong section.
2) how hard would it be to look in the development threads and look to see if that ROM is available? The search button really was created for purpose not just looks .
but this phone is great, you'll love it, and there are a number of wonderful ROMs to choose from.

1. OK
2. I did search and resulted with T-Mobile JMT Rom...But I'll look harder...
Thanks! Looking forward to changing carriers..
Why is this in development?!!!!
Also why is this even asked?
Rule 1 search before posting would have shown you dozens of these threads closed
They are ALL the best. There are no shortcuts and no one can tell you what is best for YOU
Read about the software that will drastically change your $700 device

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-910T) that I haven't used for some time. I want to install a custom ROM. I have already rooted it and installed a custom recovery. HERE'S the problem. No matter where I look I can not find a list of ROMS for this phone. I thought XDA-developers was the go to place for every custom ROM. I thought there was a way to search for ROMS for my specific device. No matter what, I can not find a place where I can search for "Samsun Galaxy Nore 4 (SM-910T)" and find a list of everything available. Like I said, I am a complete idoit. Please help.
Thankyou,
(idiot) Jim.

I haven't installed a custom ROM in about 6 years and I have only done it once. I seem to recall a LONG list of phones that you would search through for your device. THis site must have changed since then because I am not finding what I am looking for.. Isn't there a download page SOMEWHERE?

Well I don't know what you are looking for actually, but the third link in this forum directs you to the most recognized custom rom in the market - LineageOS. Maybe this is something for you to try. Just make sure this is the correct ROM for your device and read the instructions carefully before proceeding.
And yea, the site could have changed since 6 years ago... I'm here only for a 3,5

I thought there was a download page where every device was listed. I don't want to read about ROMS in the forum. I am looking for a list of ROMS for Download. I don't want to search through countless posts about all kinds of stuff. WHERE IS THE DOWNLOAD PAGE? Looks like the hardest thing about installing a custom ROM is actually finding it.

I think you have had some expectations, and XDA doesn't work like that (at least not now). For each device there is a separate forum, and under that forum you can find threads with ROMs, kernels, recoveries and other stuff. In each thread usually you can find download links along with the instructions on how to proceed with installation. So if you are really interested with installing custom ROM, you have to make the effort of searching and reading. There is no easy way, otherwise you can screw your device for good. Please take this into consideration

Thanks for the information. Sorry, I'm just frustrated.
@burbankjim Thread closed as duplicate of the below linked thread and also because posted in the wrong device forum. This forum is the one of Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and not of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
