Confused about rooting. - Galaxy S II General

First of all I just came from Xperia X8 so this is a whole
New level. Forgive me.
Right now i know how to root sgs2 as i have already done
That to my friends one. But on mine i accidentally updated
To LP9. After reading many threads i decided not to root
With cf kernel as it is very dangerous so i have searched and from my knowledge,
I can root stock lp9 with siyah kernel right? So i just flash
The .tar with odin over stock lp9 kernel and my stock ics rom
Will be rooted?
Thank you all.

Just flash to XXLPQ and root that

CF_Root lp9 is safe. But lp9 is an old fw with bugs and wifi issues. LPG is one of the most stable 4.0.3 fw. As of your question, yes, flashing Siyah kernel will root it. Also, look at my signature if you want a less intrusive root method which is also universal to any ICS phone

Sorry one more question... Will it make a difference if i flash LPG(is it even compatible with LP9?) first then siyah than if I just flash siyah directly?

First, flash stock xwlpg over lp9
Then Siyah
You do not need cf root at all

Question for upgrading from custom gb to latest Ics lpy Rom

All friends, If I flash ICS LPY rom on my current Darky V3.4.1 via mobile Odin without replacing Zimage kernel, how can I do a full wipe when there will be no CWM installed? Or I can do a phone reset instead after flash?
What will be your suggestion or should I flash the CF root kernel together during flashing LPY rom? Any issues? Or should only use stock lpy without cf root?

Do the wipe before? Assuming it's not a leak kernel.

It is not a leak kernel. A kernel developed by Darky team called Notecore v 0.1. Do u think i need to do a wipe first before flash via mobile odin?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I was thinking about the same thing. However, I wanted to flash the rom image using mobile.odin. I would keep my root without cwm. I heard that it is one of the safest methods and.it is not wiping your device

Root gb on note

I got a new g-note but didnt get it rooted....i want to use mobile odin and my laptop isnt workin....is there any solution on how do we root note on gingerbread 2.3.6..??.....

You cannot use Mobile Odin on a non-rooted phone.
The easiest way to root GB is this:

However, you need PC Odin for the procedure. Borrow a laptop from somebody
and be on your merry way.
I knw that mobile odin wont wrk without root that is y i asked for instructions on rooting GB.....thnx anywayzz.....

thanks chasmodo for the link... i have been waiting for a link to a pre-rooted ROM kernel for a while now.. mine is the newer version (LC2) that is not directly rootable using CF-root from Dr Ketan's guide.
i only have one question... since the pre-rooted ROM uses pc-odin it doesn't have CWMR and since i do not have mobile-odin i can't use the CF-root kernel to flash CWMR right? Is there any way i can get CWMR installed via different means?

Is it really that easy to install custom roms?

Or am I missing something?
Flash custom recovery through Odin, flash custom rom?
No root beforehand, no unlocking the bootloader?
Thx :good:

Yeah international i9505. I know it's not simlocked, but I'm used to Nexus devices where you need to unlock the bootloader 1st (the same with Asus Transformer tabs) before one do anything.
So... I need to be rooted first before I can flash a custom recovery?
Yep you dhont need ulcoking bootloader just go t android devolpment and djembay thread you will find odin end rooted stock rom

No you do not need to be rooted before hand - flash custom recovery then the custom rom.

Update I9505 to 4.3/4.4

Hi.
Im on 4.2.2 with root (knox free) and would like to update my S4 I9505 to 4.3/4.4 and root without tripping knox, so that I can have 4G from my carrier.
Is it possible to do this. Would I need a knox free rom, because I had a S4 before which I updated and the wifi and carrier signals stopped working along with other stuff.
Thanks in advance

If you have a KnoxFree 4.2.2 then Flash a Custom recovery and then download any 4.4.2 or .4.3 Custom rom and flash it via recovery . then Update your Modem to 4.3/4.4.2 , to fix your Dropping signal issue ..If your Gonna flash let say 4.4.2 custom rom, then Flash only the zip rom and custom kernel iE Ktkernel or Jeboo kernel

Sorry im a noob at this stuff
I think I have CWM recovery already installed. So can I just flash a 4.3/4.4 rom for example the Cyanogenmod, then do I just update modem to 4.3/4.4.
Thanks

Also can I just not update modem to get LTE since my carrier only added it on 4.3rom.

If your Flashing a Cynogenmod then feel free to follow the Dev's Instruction. Because all you need to do is Flash the Rom and Update your Modem but not the LTE aka WifiFix aka NON-HLOS. and for 4.4.2 You need to flash a working kernel Jeboo/KT .
