Need AT&T kernal after flashing AT&T Model

[alton987]

Messed around and tried to root a AT&T Galaxy S 2. I'm rooted but now back and search keys do not work on the bottom on the phones. I guess i need the stock AT&T kernel to flash back to?

Any help would be great thanks.

Source for the kernel has been released.just a matter of time untill the devs create something wonderfull you might look on samsungfirmware.com
I havent seen a kernel specific to the att version. Not sure if anyone has made one yet. You might be stuck untill e get one but I dont think it will be to long. Good money says D.G. Is already on it.

How did you get the ATT version so soon?

Yeah International kernels dont support bottom keys since they aren't on the Int' version so if you used one of the kernels you will need to go stock like you said or wait for DG to cook up his genius like another poster said.

This might not be the right place for this question and I know it's still very early but anyone think there'll be a way to unlock the AT&T SGS2 for other carriers? I know the Captivate could be unlocked simply by rooting and downloading an app from the market. I only ask because I'll be getting the phone on release day and I'm heading out of the country for 3 weeks. would love to use it wherever I go.

All you have to do is call ATT and ask a rep for the unlock code for your phone once you have it in your hands and they will give it to you.

Make sure to write it down and save it somewhere.

it's that simple? i was under the impression I had to wait 6 months for that

There may be a waiting period that i'm not sure about. I was under the impression you just had to have the phone's imei number and verification you own the phone and they would give you the unlock code on request.

Yeah, no kidding. I'm glad dg is working on it though! I sent him a PM and he never did respond though.

It is that simple. However, a lot of recent new phones had been put on 10-month exclusivity clause by AT&T that includes Captivate which means AT&T won't give you unlock code until 10 months after the phone has been released.

The normal waiting period is 90-day if you purchase on contract. But given GS2 will be on 10-month lock, you won't get your code until next summer.

post a tutorial on how to get it and ill upload it for you.

Someone who has not flashed a modded kernel will have to pull it.

The good news is - you have the first step. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17777056&postcount=42

Now that you have a rooted kernel with a stock /system, you can get a system partition dump.

Get ADB up and running, and paste the results of running the following command in an ADB shell:

mount

From that we can figure out which partition is the system partition. After that, the following command (need to put correct system partition into it) will create a system dump:

dd if=/dev/systempartitionlocation of=/sdcard/system.img bs=1M

If you upload that dump to multiupload and put the link here, someone (maybe myself, although I'm 50/50 on whether I'll actually purchase a device) can root that dump and make an Odin-flashable system partition image. This can be flashed to a phone that has the stock kernel to get root and dump the stock kernel.

I have the same problem, can anyone dump a zImage and upload to somewhere? Thanks in advanced!

zImage can't be dumped without a rooted /system.

Do you have root via kernel? If so, get a dump as described above so someone can root their /system and get the stock zImage

Stop kidding yourself Entropy. You're getting this phone. You're addicted now.

I'll be getting mine tomorrow.
And my m8 is getting his the same day.

I don't get off work until 6, but I will be flashing mine with an i9100 kernel, and obtaining a system image. Then I will be flashing my m8's with that image, and dumping the zimage to flash back to my own, that is if you all haven't gotten it done by then.

Sweet. FYI, some processing is needed to make a dumped image Odin-flashable for native ext4 phones.
