Hi,
So..I have a SGS running gingerbread 2.3.4!
I want to root it and upgrade to CM10. I need your help :
-the safest way to root my phone; i bricked it in the past
-a final CM10 os,not a beta
Here are my phone specifications :
-Model: GT-I9000
-Firmware version: 2.3.4
-Baseband version: I9000XXJVQ
-Kernel version: [email protected] #2
-Build number: GINGERBREAD.XFJV9

you need to upgrade this to 2.3.6, either use Ezboot or a jvu+root from My Android Collections to get it done after you have done the full wipes , once you have 2.3.6 running, root it with the file downloaded together with JVU or a semaphore GB kernel
after that read this and you can use whatever ROM you have chosen to use
Can someone give me a video or another way?

personally i did it:
flash GB as said via odin.
flash 2.7.4 semaphore kernal via odin.
flash Cm9 via recovery
flash latest CM10 twice
Flash JB Gapps....
job done.
obviously ensure you have cm9 and 10 on your sd card prior

Here is a more complete guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852546&highlight=jw4
After you have CM9 it's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778526
However you should read more about EFS backup, Odin, download mode, recovery mode, bootloops, just to be prepared for possible hiccups.

You don't need root for update any fw to cm10, cm9 etc.
Just:
1. flash with ODIN alternate kernel (Semaphore_kernel_JVR_1.4.0.tar) for your's 2.3.4;
2. download and copy to phone sdcard .zip with preferred cyanogen;
3. install these .zip from CWM in Recovery menu.
That's all.
Has someone used this one /\?? I think i'm gonna do it.btw, what semaphore does?

I've the CriskeloROM ICS ZCLP6 and I'm afraid of brick my phone. So I want to go back to GB but I don't know if I'm with i9220 kernel or not or one safe way to go back to GB.
A good tutorial will be good to me and to the others. I know that anything is safe because we don't know the real cause of this, but...

So I'm not understanding something. This is a leaked ics, so this is a repack that is dangerous and not recommended to use CWM. So if I flash that ZIP's from CWM don't I'm on the way to brick the phone?

you're wrong, CWM problem is for offical LPY ICS rom germany not for the Leaked rom ICS ZCLP6. You can still use CWM to flash kernel, but DON'T WIPE ANYTHING.
Both of this rom are dangerous, and my advise to you is to revert back to GB rom.
jBroid cleaner is new to me. Should i use it, even though i'm already reverted back to GB ROM and flashed speedmod kernel?

is not really necessary to flash kernel cleaner but many of us using it before flashing other kernel
Hi. I've done this and I'm on GB now. But now I have a new question. Because I flash the LP1 ROM, when I go to download mode, it says "Binary: Custom". I supose that was because I flash the I9220 Bootloader.
If I want to reset the flash counter with a Jig to sent the phone to warranty (if I need), probably I need to flash the "samsung oficial" bootloader.
Anyone can explay this better ou help me flashing the original bootloader and leave the phone in warranty again, please?
EDIT: If helps, I have a ROM that I copy from Kies when I upgrade the first time the note with a oficial ROM. If when I flash that, it will install the original bootloader, say the ODIN options and I will flash it.
THanks for any help.
If there are instructions on how to do this please post a link or maybe someone can help? Thank you.
Note: I am currently using Imikla's ICS rom, not sure what version...I flashed this in March so its based on an early ICS leak.
My kernel is: 3.0.15-I9220ZCLP1-CL131270 [email protected] #3

Because there aren't any clear instruction of how to flash and what settings to use to flash a kernel and the little details.
Entropy512 said:
The safest way to get away from ICS is:
Use PC Odin or Heimdall to flash a safe Gingerbread kernel with working CWM (NOT a full firmware package, and DO NOT mess with repartitioning), such as a Gingerbread CF-Root release. From there you can wipe and then flash whatever you want.
To be clear - JUST flash a safe kernel and then wipe/flash using that - don't flash anything else in PC Odin. If the full firmware package you flash has bootloaders it could hose you.

entropys instructions
I've flashed the Abyss kernel as stated and now I have a problem, it stays at the loading screen, excellent instructions guys!
Flash any stock GB ROM via PC ODIN. Do not tick repartition.
Try flashing a single file ROM, not 3 files ROM.
In case if fails, then try flashing a stock 3 files ROM (PDA, MODEM & CSC) alongwith .PIT file and re-partition checked.

Hi mate
Can you get into recovery mode to flash another rom ? If not follow one of the rooting guilds in the android dev forums. I had loads of trouble rooting my note and getting everything to work. Don't worry I was in your situation and you can get out of it just have a look at all the rooting guides. In the end from what I remember I flashed via PC Odin a stock pre rooted version of ICS think it was the nordic version i then flashed the rom I wanted through recovery CWM
Hope this helps
Abyssnote is for GB, thats why u cant boot back into ICS. Suggest PC Odin and flash Stock ROM from here :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 (try different ones of WIFI no-good) plus follow rooting instructions contained therein. If tar file, use Odin, if zip, use Abyss (Just reboot straight back into it)
PS: Dont flash or wipe on stock ICS or CF-Root- ICS Kernels.

Relax man. What is this aggression for?

@op AbyssNote is for Gingerbread.
Use only ICS kernels on ICS not even CM9.
Flash stock ICS rom. Root it then flash SpeedMod or NoteCore kernel using HC K-Tool.
id suggest he revert back to stock rom and read a lot before doing any stunts with his phone.

Don't panic. Flash any ics kernel such as franco r6 or speedmod k3-6 by using "PC ODIN", then you will be fine.
Bear in mind, if u use pc odin to flash kernel u will get binary count increase and yellow triangle. But don't worry, you can use "move triangle" to reset the binary count to zero and remove the triangle.
Good luck.

You don't have to do it that way, instead you can use temporary clockworkmod and install superuser from there. You can finish rooting in less than 5-10 mins this way.

Root XWLSK
You can use Siyah Kernel "‘Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar‘ for rooting your Galaxy S2 I9100 on XWLSK Android 4.1.2 firmware update. Simply flash the same using ODIN.
If the phone goes into a loop, go to recovery mode and do a wipe cache. It should fix the issue.
I have used mobile ODIN app to select the file "I9100XWLSK" and then for kernel "Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar" with options wipe checked.
Also, checked the USB Debugging option and then clicked on Flash.

Attached is CWM SU zip. Download and copy to your external sd card>Power Off phone>Press the Volume up+Home+Power key>Choose the option to apply upgrade from external storage>Choose the zip>Select "Yes">Reboot your phone.
This will root your phone and install Super SU. There is no cf root kernel and in most probability there will not be one. Understand that your device is ~2 years old, the world has moved on to better devices...

Attached is CWM SU zip. Download and copy to your external sd card>Power Off phone>Press the Volume up+Home+Power key>Choose the option to apply upgrade from external storage>Choose the zip>Select "Yes">Reboot your phone.
This will root your phone and install Super SU. There is no cf root kernel and in most probability there will not be one. Understand that your device is ~2 years old, the world has moved on to better devices...

I can't flash the CWM SU zip in the recovery mode because there is no CWM installed after flashing the XWLSK Official ROM. Now what to do?
EDIT: Ok. So I used my brains and first flashed Siyah Kernel "‘Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar‘ for rooting after getting the XWLSK on my phone. does not work on its own and the phone goes into a boot loop. But it does install the CWM so I can flash your CWM SU Zip file from the recovery mode. I reboot. BUT STILL THE PHONE Is GOING IN a BOOT LOOP. Can someone give me something that WORKS on the XWLSK???? So far NOTHING HAS WORKED TO ROOT XWLSK. Should I get rid of this XWLSK rom and get XWLSN????? Pls advice ONLY if you KNOW

This is no valid reason for things not to work on the SGS II. The SGS II was the BEST phone available at the time I bought it nearly two years ago. I bought it on the first day it landed in India.

I'm saying this because of my past experience with Indian roms . They always had few bugs the 4.0.3 update had many bugs . ALso the battery life is not as good as we get in european firmwares

You can use Siyah Kernel "‘Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar‘ for rooting your Galaxy S2 I9100 on XWLSK Android 4.1.2 firmware update. Simply flash the same using ODIN.
If the phone goes into a loop, go to recovery mode and do a wipe cache. It should fix the issue.
I have used mobile ODIN app to select the file "I9100XWLSK" and then for kernel "Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar" with options wipe checked.
Also, checked the USB Debugging option and then clicked on Flash.
Sent from my GT-I9100.

Thanks mate, I was finally able to get root using the Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar. I figured that an App called LBE Privacy guard was interfering with it and I uninstalled it. After that your Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar has worked. :good:
