I have rooted my HTC desire before so I am not totally useless on these things.
I just got a Galaxy S 2 and I want to give it root so I can remove the bloat-ware.
I'm finding this whole kernel thing a little confusing.
I was reading a guide and it said I needed an insecure kernel and linked to the post here with a lot of them in it.
Now if some kind person could help me pick the right one
According to my phone under kernel it says:
2.6.35.7-I9100BUKG2-CL342890
[email protected] #2
If someone could please tell me the most appropriate insecure kernel to install.

Here mate, unzip the last attached file then flash using Odin.
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip
just to be sure
And thanks for your help
Yep. Don't mention it.
ok I really hate to be a pain but it is now rooted but I don't know which secure kernel to flash back on.
I am really sorry for being such a pain

Hey there
I'm fairly new to rooting and I was using this guide:
cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50004972/
but I cant seem to find the kernel that is "similar" or "close to" as mine. I am currently on exact same stats as above:
Model: GT-I9100P
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband V: I9100PXXKI3
Kernel V: 2.6.35.7-I9100PXXKJ4-CL664063 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXKJ4
also I seen people mentioning NFC which I have no idea if my phone has or not, but I do know I purchased it off O2 on "contract", I was wondering if I could still root my phone and which kernel would be SAFE to use
I am willing to speak via Skype (British) to have someone walk me through the procedure if that makes anyone's life easier.
thank you for any feedback :cyclops:

NFC, just google the meaning came with your phone.
Don't follow just any root my phone tutorial on just any site. If you mess up with your phone, those guys can't help you.
The is the easiest way to root your phone, You don't even need to flash any kernel.
good luck

im sorry but i read through that post and got totally lost, i do not see any sort of structure explaining my situation - nor did i find anything to do with the i9100P-XXKJ4 model - which is what im trying to find the correct kernel for =/
the Cnet guy seems the most simplest way to me, if only i had a kernel that i was sure would work - i would have a rooted sgs2 by now.

You can find answers to all of your questions
http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...t/482994-rooting-galaxy-s2-dummies-guide.html
This thread is unnecessary. You could've just used the search button, this is probably the most asked question in all of XDA. Did you watch the "I am a noob video"?
As is it most asked it is also most easiest to find.
Consider yourself lucky you got a good answer, if it was, TheATHEiST, Donnie Sins, theunderling, f-r or gastonw + many more senior members, you would have to do more than just post this thread
Was it wrong for me to answer his question man? I'm new on here too. I have been on this site multiple times looking for answers to my questions about my phones, and so I joined to help others who have questions. But considering I'm new, even though I watched the video, I'm not exactly sure when to answer these kinds of questions?

You did nothing wrong, you helped out him in trouble. But that link to CF-Kernels is very easy to find, i came here for the first time to ask about root to, but first i explored all sections of SGS2 forum and found out about CF-kernel myself.
I dont blame you for anything but by answering these types of questions you also encourage other noobs to post threads without searching for a similar one.
But as said, you did nothing wrong.
Awesome thanks man

Hint: We don't use CF ROOT since the 4.0.4 mess.
Now you know what-not-to search for.

Once you've rooted your phone, there are a number of unlock methods - which a simple search will yield.

Mismatching your ROM with what you're trying to flash, check the second post again.
If all you want is root you can flash siyah v6.tar

Helo, im new and i recently bought a samsung S3 i9300. I've been reading a lot about the sudden death, but i prefer to solve some doubts before trying to do some root things... (please sorry if my english isn' good).
I want to root my phone , but im not so sure if my device or firmware is already "fixed" or something (i'll attach the data at end).
I need to know in case that it's fixed... what are the better way to root it (i mean less risky). For example via Odin or Via CWM, CF-root or another method. idk, im confused by now..
im new to this phone and i dont want to brick it or something...
Here is the data of the Device and firmware, etc:
Model: GT I9300

Remember, read the stickies, but if you're unsure of anything, ask. It's easier to set you straight before you do anything than to fix something after you've done it

Ok, i've readed a lot about rooting & flashing... i just want root acces for the apps that need it.. yet dont have intention to flash a custom rom, so i think the Cf-AutoRoot is the best option, whitout the custom repair mode and the apps.
I just have one doubt left about the sudden death. Is that a flashing or rooting issue?
In that case, how can i know if my i9300 have or not the "fix".
I am on a stock 4.1.2 (all the data of device in the first post)

As previously stated, 4.1.2 has the fix. Rooting does not affect this. It does not change your firmware version
