You can flash official KJ2 firmware but you will lose your root. After flash KJ2 firmware., you flash back the KJ1 insecure kernel again to gain back your root and CWM.
Use the link below to get root and CWM

after reading all ur guys post i think i'll keep using DZKI1+root for the time being at least untill a proper root+kernel and stock kernel for KJ2 pops out in the net...  biggrin.gif

@waveweaver does it really work using that MyGkernel meaning root and cwm is installed after flashing it? so the only thing left is the stock kernel la for removing the yellow triangle but for now none is it
*
If you're getting a new bootloader then the jig wont work. It only work on the old bootloader. But why should you worry about the yellow triangle? You see it only on the start up :-) .
Another way is to extract and flash the ZImage though i never done it since i sold my SGSII already.

wifi should work properly if you flash official KJ2 full firmware then flash KJ1 insecure kernel :-)

@gsan alredy post bout using that MyGKernel and confirm wifi working so i think i'll give it a try later...
i can see that @aidfarh of xda alredy add a new version of his kernel MyGKernel v1.1

just wanna ask something this DZKJ2 is not a wipe rom just like DZKI1 rite..

If you have CWM then do a Nandroid backup for your current firmware. Use Titanium Backup to backup all you apps and use SMS Backup and Restore app to backup all you sms. All of this only as a precaution incase shit happen.

Try power off your phone. Then do a recovery with three buttons combo. See whether you got CWM or not.?
Learn more about CWM from this link

So, if I'm just a normal user. I actually just use the stock ROM with rooting is just ok right?
Coz, from what I understand is rooting is sort of modification.  blush.gif

Yes, rooting is modified kernel in order to gain access into your phone system. Once you gain access, you can tweak your phone such as undervolt, overclock etc..

For those G version user that unfamiliar with rooting, i advice them NOT to root their phone as at the moment there's no custom roms to ply on. Better do your own customize using launcher and theme app from market.
~~my two cents~~

Thanks. And for those unrooted G version user who still don't know how to customize their phone, can refer to my previous post #51 in this same thread :-)

Basically the usb jig can be used for three different things
1) Bring/force the phone into download mode.
2) Eliminate the yellow triangle
2) Reset the binary counter

You had to have a root first in order to uninstall or freeze such apps. Any other apps that download from market can be uninstall easily without need of rooting.

Use Titanium Backup app to freeze or uninstall any apps from your phone. But make sure you know what you're doing. Uninstall some phone system apps can give more problems to your phone. Try to freeze the app instead of uninstall it. Look at xda-dev for the list of apps that are safe for removal.

Dude, there's no CWM apps in the market o_O
Okay, you can try this link first on how to get CWM
