and i dont have kies installed should i install before trying to flash using odin? or doesnt require
Kies and Odin don't like each other very well... I'd never have both running at the same time.

KL1 (GB): Untested
its working perfectly i just tried
Hi everyone, tell me please what cf-root kernel i must use if on my phone now is : 3.0.15-I9100BULPC-CL332484 dpi@DELL154#3.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, apologies for asking but I have read and searched but want a sanity check... My phone is I9100PXXKJ4, if I use KJ3 kernel will that be ok as I read that kernel doesn't break nfc on other threads but flashing a ROM will. Still on GB as no official update yet and need to be able to restore phone in case of warranty. To that question... How would I and can I back up the stock phone image? TIA
I recommend to update your ROM to a newer version, such as XWLP8.
Intratech has a very good, non-wipe Frankenstein version in his Official Firmware thread => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Then you can use CF-Root kernel "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XSA_LP8-v5.4-CWM5.zip" to root your phone without any mounting problems.
Good luck !
I have this issue with this combination.
Any Idea?.
It is the same issue long ago starting ICS CF-ROOT.

Try to flash the stock kernel.
Then check the mounting of sd cards.
If the issue appears on stock kernel, flash the whole ROM again to your phone.
If everything is fine, flash CF-Root kernel again.
Try to wipe cache and Dalvik cache, if the issue re-appears.
Since I am on Frankenstein XWLP8 ROM, I never had this mounting issue again.
Good luck !
Just wanted to let everyone know my process. Worked great thanks to Chainfire's genius.
My starting point
Bell I9100M upgraded to ICS LD3 official release through Kies.
I went through the CF-Root process and used LP7 (the second link in the list but I don't think it matters). You end up with a rooted kernel with CWM and the ugly yellow triangle.
CF-Root 5: Upgrade Firmware feature
Using this feature I was able to get my LD3 firmware back with root and no triangle. I created a folder on my external_sd called "firmware" and put the stock Bell LD3 firmware from Samsung Updates in there.
I then opened CWM and selected Flash Stock Firmware and selected the stock firmware. I continued through the prompts about the bootloader and then selected the pre-root option.
After boot I had LD3 rooted and working perfectly with no triangle. I have no idea whether it actually reset the flash counter but I'm okay with this solution for now.
Also, because I went back to the stock kernel CWM has lost snazy features like Flash Stock Firmware but I'm alright with that for now too.
