Hello,

I’ve done reading (the more I read, the more I become blur), and I still have some question\doubt on this ‘rooting/flashing ROM’ thingy.
1. My SGS2 (PDA = I9100XWKF1, Phone = I9100DXKF1, CSC = I9100OLBKE5) with Kernel version = 2.6.35.7-I9100WKF1-CL265340root@DELL106#2
2. If I do rooting, does it change my Kernel? What is the difference between secure and unsecure kernel?
3. Let say, I ‘m flashing to a new ROM/firmware, can I still have my app?
4. I just want to have stock ROM (KG1 or latest to be install). How on earth can I do this without messing my apps?
5. Where can I get and how to recognize the stock ROM which is compatible with my PDA, Phone and especially CSC? (do flashing ROM messing the CSC?)

I hope someone can help me on this…really appreciate it!!!

Thanks in advance!!!

1. XWKF1 is stock rom, not that optimized though.
2. depending on which kernel you flash to root. there are various way to root without changing the stock kernel
3. get your phone rooted, install titanium backup and backup your apps. after flashing to new rom, root the new rom then restore your apps via titanium again
4. if you are flashing via odin, all apps will be wiped. backup first before you flash. some custom roms are non wipe version, but i think you better stick to stock rom
5. you can download stock rom from samfirmware.com. usually it comes with 3 files, code=pda, phone=modem, and CSC. PDA is refer to rom base, phone  is refer to radio/modem (wifi, network signal and etc) and csc contain the supported languages.

please read instruction on how to flash the rom via odin first, understand it clearly before proceed.

thanks c010!!!

I wonde hmm.gif r... if flashing the phone, it will change all those 3 files (i.e pda, phone, csc) is it?
Is it possible to upgrade the PDA and Phone, and still using the old CSC?
I'm afraid the csc doesn't compatible with malaysia network sweat.gif
