Thanks bro! Reason I'm asking is I'm gonna get my SG S2 today,from Digi. Gonna buy it,with the plan. All of the SG S2 phone Digi have is G version,only,right?
*
as far as i know, nowadays in malaysia, almost all shops are selling the G version, u can only get non G thru AP set or second hand.

Well,I've been holding out long enough,gotta get the phone now,no matter what,lol.  biggrin.gif

It's safe to assume that you're using G version too,right?

BTW,what's the advantage of using KL3 as opposed to KJ2? Any changelog I can see?
*
u have made the right assumption, of coz i am using G version too..lols, i even made a comprehensive guide for it..lols

not differs too much, both are still 2.3.6, only small minor bugfixes.

for easy rooting without voiding warranty, upgrade to KJ2. because KL3 cant be rooted with doomlord (refer my guide)

So I wasn't imagining things,haha! Thanks bro,will check it out later. Also,have some question. Is your edited runme.bat the same with the runme.bat that is edited in this thread? Also,in your opinion,will there be a way to root KL3 using zergrush method,doomlord way that is? Will it be updated to root KL3? First time in the rooting scene,so newb,haha.  sweat.gif
*
it is ok to be noob as long as u have the intention to read and google around. smile.gif
it is the same actually, but some people just dont want to read, so i made it edited for noob-proof..lols
i have also add some logging command but it is not so important.

so far the bug is already patched, highly probably we need to wait for new bugs to appear. lols

if u are keeping the warranty, just flash KJ2 and use doomlord method to root.
after u have the CWM, u can flash custom rom from others.

but like me, i am sticking with my own modded stock. much better tongue.gif

I'm using KL3. So I need to flash back to KJ2 in order to root?
*
not really, depends on which method of rooting u preferred.
doomlords method needs u to downgrade to KJ2
odin method can be used without upgrade but will void ur warranty as it will increase binary counter

Haiz .. no idea why my phone jz can update to 2.3.5 DZKL1 only via software update... is it necessary to using a cable to update to 2.3.6 ?
in order to root / flash rom ...
*
if it was not found from phone, then of course u need to update it from Kies or flashing using Odin.
preferably using Odin as u will get a copy of the rom itself. see my guide in my signature for instruction on how to update. for downloading latest firmware, get checkfus downloader (google it plz).

btw DZKJ2 only so far can be rooted with doomlord zergrush method.
latest DZKL3 and maybe other need to be rooted using Odin with rooted kernel

just read my guide first and google around, if not understand, feel free to ask

10 days no check here, a few quick questions:

1. currently using superatmos V2.1, superRom 2.0, KL3
2. the red tiny LED keep turning ON by itself (not sure when), so i have to make a call and end call to turn it off.
3. game (Trial Xtreme) graphic distort sometime.
4. phone hang when incoming call interrupt camera

any idea how to over come these?

1. currently using superatmos V2.1, superRom 2.0, KL3 : is this even a question? lols
2. the red tiny LED keep turning ON by itself (not sure when), so i have to make a call and end call to turn it off. : question too? tongue.gif, i think in fb group, someone is giving the link fix for this.
3. game (Trial Xtreme) graphic distort sometime. : it is expected maybe due to gpu nature
4. phone hang when incoming call interrupt camera : never once experienced it, so not sure, but camera in samsung kind of buggy, so it is predictable to have the hang especially when memory is not enough or gpu in constant use.

Yea i have updated to KJ2 by WIFi ... and since the pc cant detect the phone and i cant begin to root it right ...
*
done this ?

Tick USB debugging (settings->Applications->Development), if unticked before
Tick Unknown sources (settings->Applications)
Using windows task manager, "end task" ADB.exe and all KIES related software if running

if yes, try changing another usb port and reinstall Kies or repair Kies driver from inside Kies

Ya done and the phone can charge from pc but it still cant detect ... notification bar show MTP connection and i can even heard the "ding" sound from pc ... no idea what is actually happening ...
*
notification bar should not be showing MTP because u already ticked debug mode.
try restart pc or phone after ticked

depends on ur system, sometimes the driver is not installed properly. need to remove KIES all and reinstall KIES again.

Rooted successfully and superuser allowed !!
Download ktool to flash rom/kernel right  ?
*
nope, ktool only for kernel flashing.
if u are using doomlord method, u are rooted but without CWM
to get CWM flash any rooted kernel using ktool

CWM can be used to flash custom rom smile.gif

Hello forumers,

Im not sure if this question has been asked before, here goes...

My current situation now is im using a custom rom and kernal by Superatmos XDA.

Thus, may i know.. lets say I want to update to DZKL3 and root. How should i go about it? Do it just simply use Odin and flash the kernal? or Do i need to unroot back again and re-root the new rom and kernal? Im confused. Hope that forumers here can advise how to do it the correct way.

Thank you
*
as u are using custom rom, it is advised to start from zero again.

which means, flash latest stock rom with odin.

after that flash rooted kernel. this is the only method to root so far for KL3 as doomlord method is not working anymore for this version

thanks for the advise. perhaps will these process set your phone back to factory settings (means, all apps/emails/calender events/contacts) will be removed? Can i restore back using Titanium Backup?
*
yes it is better to flash stock latest and reset everything after that.
all will be removed.

theoritically if u are utilizing google to the max, contacts,calendars,emails all are stored inside ur gmail account.
u can only restore app with titanium. not stuff like contacts
