****The Official Samsung Galaxy S II Thread***

Had to boot back into recovery (clockwork seems to have dissapeared again...) wiped data/cache in their and now everything appears to be working again.

Now I just need to root it.... :eek::p

This seems like the easiest way to root it following this guide:
http://samsunggalaxysforums.com/showthread.php/4563-root-the-Galaxy-S-II-via-SuperOneClick

But I'm wondering will the XWKDD kernel used in that guide work for my phone even though my Kernel version is BOKF3? I think this is the issue I had yesterday, couldn't root it because their didn't seem to be a BOKF3 kernel.

OK so get unsecure XWKDD, Flash with Odin once booted use superoneclick to root, then flash back to normal kernel & check with root checker app you are rooted.

That is the method I did when I wanted to keep stock & root. Do you not have BOKF3 stock kernel? What kernel did you just flash?
 
Having my SGS2 replaced tomorrow as the mic quality is really bad, tried different ROMs, radios, everything. Definitely something wrong with it.
 
Yeah I do have the BOKF3 Kernel, it's just that guide was telling me to download and use XWKDD kernel.

I will flash with XWKDD kernel then and when it's all done flash back to the BOKF3 kernel.

Will give it a go now, cheers.
 
Cheers! I finished using SuperOneClick, flashed back to my stock Kernel, ran root checker and it said I had root access.

So now I believe that is finally everything done and I'm back to normal?

Cheers

Yep check in Phone settings & make sure everything is BOKF3 :)

I'm just double checking now, baseband is I9100BOKF1 whereas Kernel is BOKF3, hmm? Is that normal?

EDIT - just seen my previous post from last night before I even touched the firmware and they both match. All sorted then. :)

Going freeze a ton of useless apps now!

If everything is working fine I'd imagine it'll be ok. I can't really give out too much advice only what I've gathered in the last month.

The other guys here are so much more clued in than me :)
 
How do you change it so that when you plug your phone in, it goes straight to USB mode without asking you first? It always went straight to USB mode on my first stock rom but since changing to a different one and changing back to stock I always need to manually select USB Mode.

Cheers
 
Right, picked up a mint unlocked SGS2 for £337 which should be delivered in a day or two along with a couple of cases or screen protectors. Saved myself a fair buck by waiting a month and buying a second hand one, so actually quite pleased!
