Hi guys,
I've been furiously reading through the development threads and have come to the conclusion that, IF, my requirements are only to get a rooted phone without all the fancy ROM flashing and Clockworkmod stuff, I just follow the instructions in the AND THERE WAS ROOT thread right?
I just want a simple, rooted phone that allows me to install apps specific for rooted phones, apply themes, etc as I reckon the stock ROM seems sufficient for my needs
All I need to get a rooted phone for these simple requirements is just root the phone with an insecure kernel and then superoneclick my way to Super User access right?
The and there was root thread is definitely the one for you then.

And there is also a question forum for that...

Thanks!
One more question, are the insecure kernels region specific? Most likely my firmware version will be something like DKWE7 (starting with D instead of X as I am in SEA)
Will be ok if I flash with the XKWE kernels right?
Q&A section please.
During your 'furious reading' you obviously omitted to read the XDA rules.

So now that it has been moved to the Q&A section, would you care to answer my question?
Kernel is not region specific .
Modem/radio/baseband /CSC can be region specific as can full firmware .
Root now not the <and there was root > which is now extinct .

I am not clear about the CF-Root v3.7 thread
What does the files do? Is it just flashing an insecure kernel and installing Clockworkmod and super user access root?

i need some help plz anyone know which cf root . zip file would i need to root my phone?
SGS2
base band I9100BUKE1
Kernal version 2.6.35.7 - I9100 BUKE5
Build number GINGERBREAD . BUKE5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Any root file .
jje
surely it must be the root file which corresponds to your kernel?
if you can use either then why do all the different kernels?
Any body with a constructive comment.
ANY will work .
KE5 is your firmware but no root KE5 nearest KE7
End .
jje
ok, but why the need for all the different kernels KE1, KE2 etc etc.
Why not just have one generic one then if any will work?

In the same forum, look for the other thread on how to root from my specific operator ROM.
I gave the answer.
You must first flash an official firmware then flash your specific csc
Then you will be able to flash CF root corresponding to your new firmware.
Flashing official firmware, you could loose specific apps or widggets provided by your operator

Hi all just taken delivery of my brand new samsung galaxy s2 and am working on rooting it,
So far ive flashed the insecure kernel and when it comes to rooting the phone using superoneclick it comes up with the failed message which im not understanding why? Any help would be great thanks
You are probably using the extinct method if you read post one .
Root + CWM .

SuperOneClick is indeed tricky on SGS2. Try using SOC version 1.5.5 or so and also downgrading .NET framework from version 4 to the 3. If even doing this SOC get stuck in "waiting for device", try unplugging and plugging again the phone. Try ten times, in the last it will work I did it in the past, and by my own experience I can say that SOC+insecure kernel eventually works, but you need a lot of patience and persistence.
That said, the best way to get root is flashing a CF-Root kernel. In addition to root, you get ClockWorkMod (CWM) which is a must-have tool. Just flash the CF-Root Kernel and everything is done without hassle. This is what I recommend and what I use. However, if you prefer to use an original kernel (honestly, I don't see any advantages in using an original kernel instead of the CF-Root) you can try the first alternative.

Exactly!!!
im using 1.5.5 but im not sure how to downgrade .net ? and also ive already installed an insecure kernel so i cant see what my old standard kernel used to be to try the cf-root?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Have a look at the xda bookmarks in my sig and get a recent stock firmware that also has a corresponding root firmware. Follow the instructions to flash them both and you should be fine.
It's actually very straightforward if you read and follow the instructions - it just seems daunting at first. Good luck mate.

It is simple, just completely uninstall the .NET framework 4 and install the .NET framework 3. (google for it and get it straight from Micro$oft website).
Regarding the CF-Root, chose the one that matches with your firmware (eg. my build number, baseband and kernel versions are all KH3, therefore CF-Root KH3) Go for your build number suffix and you should be fine. There is no much difference between the kernels anyway (according to Chainfire's post where the kernels are available for download). Anyway, after rooting, which kernel were you planning to flash? Get the CF-Root counterpart of the same number.
Read Chainfire's first post on his thread, it is plenty of information of the kind.
Hi,
Where can get the insecure kernel for I9100G 2.3.6 DZKJ2?
Just flash any kernel that has auto-root (Siyah 2.1, Ninphetamine etc.).
This is for the Q&A btw...

are u saying that siyal kernel work for that firmware or u didnt notice that its for i9100G version?
i would be very happy if u or someone could confirm its the first choice.
A quick google search pulled up numerous threads on this topic. Meaning I get to tear you a new one...
1. You posted in the wrong forum.
2. You didn't read the rules.
3. This has been covered numerous time.
4. You are a n00b.
And IF you would have done a search like you are supposed to you would have come across this.
So in the FUTURE, SEARCH FIRST BEFORE POSTING, and on top of that in the WRONG FORUM.

Yes by flashing a stock firmware or kernel and resetting the custom rom counter to zero .

You need to start reading before flashing .

phone needs to be rooted before you flash a custom rom.
have a read through the developer section and all the answers for your other questions will be answered.
first steps first though - read chainfires root and clockwork recovery thread first to see what tools you need and follow the guide to the letter - no exceptions!
.................lol or as above from JJEgan
Typically you will need to root your phone before you install a custom rom, and yes you can easily unroot. There are several guides in the development section to help you. Make sure you read thoroughly and understand what you're doing.

Read the FAQs in this sticky roll up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442549 and most of your questions will be answered.
Custom roms are flashed via cwm and stock are flashed by Odin. Most custom roms are pre rooted.

Hi.
I have been trying to find any Root + CWM but I'm not being much successful.
I did found a way to root and then install CWM, but it's not from XDA and I don't feel that is detailed enough for me to trust I won't do any harm.
By any chance anyone would be able to report a working method to end up with Root and CWM on a I9300 running on UBEMA2?
Thanks.

The weird thing is that the op has joined XDA from 2009 but still don't know common sense. Yeah he might be too lazy to read xda rules but q&a section is right below the general section.
As above, wrong section
Choose one of these methods
If you use cf auto root you will need to flash a recovery after with mobile Odin or Odin
