Dear Forum,
I have rooted my Galaxy S II one year ago using Odin and a custom kernel from the forum here. Now I tried to update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 but it does not work. So I think the kernel could be the problem and wanted to flash an other one, but here comes the question.
My phone says that I have the I019XXKDJ baseband and I9100XWKDD-CL kernel version. In the Post of CF with the list of roms I could not find these versions ( endings? )

Could someone please tell me what to do?

Best regards

Looks like you have the I9100 model so after reading the first few posts from the link above, select a firmware to download and flash via Odin.

They are stock official firmware and once your in download mode and ready to flash with Odin I don't think the kernel will affect things.

Be prepared to wipe or factory reset just in case. CWM nandroid backup and titanium backup etc.

After that checkout chainfires cfroot kernels to root your phone.

That's what I would do anyway.

No if you flashed you lost Kies update path .

As said you need to read the post regarding kernel versions in CF root thread .


Root + CWM .
