New SGS2 needs rooting, please - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys & gals,
I've *just* taken delivery of a new Samsung Galaxy SII running
Android 2.3.3
Baseband I9100XXKDJ
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKDJ-CL187606 [email protected]#2
Gingerbread XWKE2 build
I've successfully flashed the kernel of my previous SGS1 to root it using CF-Root via Odin.
I believe I'm looking for a KDJ version of the CF-Root, but can't find one.
Any help / pointers would be much appreciated as unrooted, the phone's just no fun! And I can't use my Titanium backup.
Thank you
Dave

No need to find KDJ or specific. Just find your PDA version and flash that kernel.
I hope you know how to see PDA version,

You may want to update to a newer rom, look in this thread, then select a correct version of CF root.

[Q] Questions about new Galaxy S2 International on ATT

Hey all,
Just got the Galaxy S2 Internationl GT-I9100 and I'm using it on ATT in the United States (it is NOT the ATT version).
The info:
Android Version 2.3.3
Baseband Version I9100XXKE7
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555, [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
So I have a couple questions:
1) Will CF-Root v4.0 for KF3 work on this phone? Is there a later version of CF-Root for KF3?
2) Does it matter that baseband is KE7 and kernel is KF3?
3) Does the S2 brick easily? Soft brick that can be reversed by flashing stock with odin (like on my captivate) or hard brick?
4) My plan is to install CF-Root, then backup /efs, and then flash cognition. After backing up /efs, can I just flash cognition using Odin or do I need to use CWM?
5) I noticed that cognition uses the Ninphetamine kernel...will that be compatible with my phone? Will most custom ROMs be compatible with my phone?
Thanks for the help guys! Now that I have an S2, I can use my captivate to muck around with the android source =D
May not be relevant but
How about trying to update to 2.3.4 stock ROM before going root. Personally I don't feel much need of rooting after switching from galaxy 1 to 2. Fast enough.

I've always been a bigger fan of community developed software than stock ROM. Also, I want titanium backup and few other things even if i just stay on stock rooted

[Q] Kernal Problem - Modem a solution?

Hey Guys
I am currently using the Samsung Galaxy S2 in India
Current Version
Firmware : 2.3.5
baseband xxki1
kernel xxki3
build batista70 2.1 xxki3
In this config, i am unable to use any kernel apart from the CF root and the speedmod
Is it possible for me to use a different modem and baseband altogether. Or will that not be possible for the Indian version of the SGS2.
Will changing that lead to no connections or some other issues?
Kindly help or advice as to how to use other kernels if the above is not an option
Bump. Please Help Guys.
Please Help Me. I am feeling restless for a custom kernel.

If your GS2 is the global version (I9100) then yes, you can flash any I9100 modem or kernel you like. There shouldn't be any connection issues.

You also keep using I9000 and I9100 interchangeably, what phone do you actually have? If you have an I9100 (not I9000 or I9100G) then you can find everything you need about flashing an ICS ROM in the stickies, specifically http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487

http://www.darkyrom.com.. check the thread out very useful pretty much stock but it is tweaked
Thanks, does every rom work on every SG2?? or do i need a localized version???
This is a very good tutorial: http://androidbeast.com/937/tutoria...oid-ice-cream-firmware-on-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100/
I used it to install CM9 ICS.
Remember to follow the Rooting tutorial, then follow the CM9 tutorial if you want to use CM9. Otherwise stock ICS is perfectly fine for you.

Hi, Need help with finding insecure kernel

I have a Samsung Galaxy SII
baseband version: i9100BOKJ1
Kernel version: BOKK1 stock
Is it possible if i flash the BOKG2 stock, then flash again to Insecure 'BOKG2'
I know how to root Samsung Galaxy S2 phone i have Done previously but i need help finding the 'BOKK1' Insecure kernel.
I appreciate if anyone could help
Thanks
we also dont....like you searched and dont find,
donno why both stock and insecure not available for this version, may be not leaked..that is why CF-root not available...
go for another stock ROM to flash from ODIN for which CF-root available for rooting, both links are on my signature.
