Wta smth bout CF 4.1. There are a few version of kernel and as state by Chainfire that i should find back the same kernel version as shown in the phone.
Say my phone kernel version is "2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF1-CL265340", so i should find bac the kernel tat match mine by referring to KF1, but i only found there is KG1 - KG7, and no KF version for 4.1.
so should i use KG1 version to CF? or there is no different between KF n KG, n only d no. 1 - 7 is the update improvement over the previous no.?

I'm reading on the xda thread, n this is smth i'm not sure. Advice will be appreciate. notworthy.gif

You can use XW_OJV_KF1 - v4.0_CMW4.zip to root your XWKF1. But that is for Android 2.3.3.
Why not you upgrade to Android 2.3.4 first. Flash XXKG5 stock rom then root using XX_OXA_KG5 - v4.1_CMW4.zip

Appreciate your answers!

1. I just found out from reading Chainfire's most recent and very long pages (100+ pages) that it does not wipe-out data on the phone.
2. Since I have never heard of any complaints about ODIN potentially carrying malware/virus, I can take a calculated risk to say it doesn't. Not 100% sure tho.
As for the tar file, it seems like Chainfire just added a few extra to the stock Kernal like CWM, etc before re-packaging/compressed it into a tar file.
3. Noted
4. The zImage is from the same tar file (CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OJV_KF1-v4.0-CWM4.tar)?
5. Any negative side effects so far after Rooting?

Again, many thanks!
