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.
[Q] Samsung galaxy S II GT-I9100T Stock kernel for Vodafone Australia
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!

Hello XDA Developers,
I have been searching the internet and found a lot of information about Upgrading Firmwares, Odin, PDA, PIT, CSC and what not. Most of them comming from XDA Forums.
Today however, I was unable to find the answer to my questions and decided to create an account and share with you my burden.
So I have a GT-i9000 Galaxy S which has been rooted, and I want to benefit from the Official Auto Updates to get everything going (like the new Android marketplace)
I have 1st tried SamFirmwares or whats it called, only to find NONE of the firmwares in there were STOCK.
Then I found this other site where I did manage to find the PDA, Phone and CSC Stock files, and flashed them properly, but its still not good enough:
1. The Kies finds FW Upgrades for my Phone, But when I connect it, it says FW not compatible with your device - Clearly my device is not stock.
2. The Auto Updates show no updates for my device
3. The Kernel Version in my Phone info shows :
2.6.35.7-I9000XVJB-CL118186
[email protected] #2
So I figured I must flash Kernel to Stock, found a site - broken link to the Stock Kernel, Managed to find the same file somewhere else, found some instructions on where to put it and what to configure in Odin, Did it - Success.
Only nothing is changed..
I found no mention anywhere at all of anyone having this "nothing changes although Odin says Flash Kernel Successful"
My other details are:
FW 2.3.3
Baseband Version:
I9000XXJVK
Build Number:
GINGERBREAD.XWJVB
Please help. As it is now I also can't take the phone to any warranty - if I can find the word Root in it, so will they.
reflash it with flashtool. works like a charm
I have been looking for the official firmware of SHV-E150S for the past three days, and I came up empty.
I have tried various methods, such as the KIES hack, without any luck.
In case you are wondering SHV-E150S is the Korean version of the Galaxy Tab 7.7 LTE
The problem with SHV-E150S is that since it's not a popular phone in Korea, Samsung is neglecting its support for the phone.
Thus, there has not been a single firmware update since its release early this year. So I do not think I can use KIES to obtain the firmware
I am really desperate right now, and any help to find a firmware for SHV-E150S will be greatly appreciated.
By the way, according to the KIES registry information, the Software Revision version is E150SKRFB25, which I'd assume it to be the firmware version.
Also, if other (foreign) firmwares can be used for the phone, please give me some pointers or directions.
I really don't care about maintaining the locality or korean-specific aspects of this phone
Thanks in advance.
I didn't even know there was a Korean LTE version, let alone one with PHONE functions. I wonder if a dev can hack an image of that tab to work on the i815 to gain phone functionality. The E150S seems to have different LTE bands tho ;[
E150S: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3436&c=samsung_shv-e150s_galaxy_tab_7.7_lte_m16
i815: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3257&c=verizon_samsung_sch-i815_galaxy_tab_7.7_lte
I can dream, right ?
Sorry tho. I Wish I could help.
Maybe a dev here can help you obtain CWM for the device so that you can create a stock nandroid image?
Actually all I need to do is root the phone, since I need it for development.
Since a rooted firmware does not exist, I just assumed that I would need the stock firmware for rooting.
Please correct me if I am wrong, and let me know how to root it without getting the stock firmware.
This root method has worked so far for the 6800, 6810 and i815 versions. Maybe it would work for you?

Thanks for the input,
But it says,
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
And, something funny about my tablet is that it seems like it's not reading from the SD card. I had to save it in the tablet for the recovery tool to see the file.
Problem Solved!!
I finally got the firmware thanks to
samsung-update.com
SAMMOBILE
The firmware for SVH-E150S can now be found at either
sammobile.com
samsung-updates.com/latest-firmware
It seems like I can't post the urls since I am new to this forum....
So can't write down the full URL, but I figure most of you should know these websites already

must root shv-e150s
Dear kthlee,
It appears you were able to download the ROM image and root your galaby tab. I bought a shv-e150s in Korea last year. And I very much want to root it to get rid of several annoyances that are useless if you are not in Korea. Can you perhaps post a step-by-step of how you did it? I know how to download the image from sammobile, that is not the problem. What to do afterwards is what I do not know. I fear I will just end up with a newly formatted tablet, still not rooted. Thank you in advance.
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!
Hello,
Currently My J7 got stuck on boot window, all i can i do is to be able to reach the download mode, therefore i downloaded a custom rom (this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/development/rom-t3713641 )
But I can't flash this using Odin, I'm very new to this, so what's the problem? How can i install this rom using odin?
Custom ROMS are generally flashed via TWRP (or similar installations). Odin is used to fix issues using stock firmware. I'd Google search both in your case. If your phone is down, you may have to flash stock firmware (via Odin) first, then follow well documented root procedures for your device model number (I'm guessing it's the exynos J7 Tmobile or Metro PC variety judging from the rom you linked). First order of business would be correctly identifying your phone model, then proceeding from there. Happy hunting!

No worries. I know the J7 has a plethora of sub-model numbers, it can be a little confusing. Just be sure to get as specific as possible regarding your specific device. The J700T for example needs J700T firmware, even though it fits into that broad range of Exynos J7 (or J7 2015). Thats the only J7 I'm familiar with, just stating the obvious need for precision. Good luck with flashing!
Hi all,
After a recent Update I no longer have phone/text - Am Trying to install Stock Kernel. I have unlocked boot loader, installed Magisk, but every time I try to flash via Odin, it gets stuck at boot screen.
Any help would be so much appreciated. Any solution would be so welcome!
Hi,
S10 rom isn't compatible with S10e. That's probably why.
Are you using the patched version of odin?
Missed these files.
Regards - Shaun
I downloaded the Irish stock kernel, for about a year ago. I have an S10, I bought too fast and missed S10e / S105G etc. I could not find a dedicated S10 forum so posted here.
This is the proper Firmware according to all the sites. Being Ireland its easy as v few providers.
Stock firmware S10 - SM-G973/DS.
It really bugs me that an update could nuke my phone and texts. Its even weirder as its still works with data.
