Hello everyone,
I received my sg2 the other day and was wanting to root it but am a little confused on what processes i need to do. i have read through several different tutorials on how to root this device but each one is completely different and have left me stumped on what i need to do to not brick this awesome phone. mainly because each tutorial i have read through has all i9100 information while i havent seen a i777 related insecure kernal, or rooting thread. here are the details from my phone:
PDA: I777UCKH7
phone: I777UCKH7
CSC: I777ATTKH7
Build info: Sat Aug 27 04:39:06 KST 2011
if anyone would be willing to help me out, i would greatly appreciate it.
thank you

Tip: When getting a new device, before asking any questions in the device's relevant forum (you're in the right place), read all sticky threads before posting a question (you haven't).
thank you for pointing me to the stickies. for some reason they were not showing up while browsing with my phone. i will have a go at rooting this phone tomorrow if i get time.

Hello Everyone,
First of all my appoligies if I am posting this at the wrong place and also because I have been warned in several threads not to post a new thread unless I am sure that I have to.
The reason I am posting this is because I am very confused by the root process, below is the reason why
I have a Galaxy S II I9100G with me and I first went to this thread to root my kernel, the problem I have there is that My About phone section does NOT show the Kernel Version as advertised in the thread, all I see is this " 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2 ". So I didnt know which CF-Root file to choose as I dont want to brick my phone.
Secondly The Instructions seems to be posted in the I9100 section and not in the " I9100G Android Development " section which also confuses me as whether I should be using those instructions or not.
So please guide me towards what file from the CF-Root to use or what my kernel version is, or any alternate kernel if this one isnt right for me
Here Is all the info I can get for my phone
Baseband Version: I9100GXXKL4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXLB1
PDA: I9100GXXlb1
PHONE: I9100GXXKL4
CSC: I9100GDBTKL2
Again sorry for the creation of this thread if its against the rules but I'd rather be safe then sorry.

Good to ask before flashing the wrong kernel to your phone.
I do not recommend to flash a GT-I9100 kernel to a GT-I9100G.
Have a look here for another rooting method => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28178105
Here is a rooting thread specially for the GT-I9100G => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679778
P.S.: To see your current kernel version, you can also have a look at your Build version number or dial *#1234# into your phone, then check the PDA version. This is usually the same as your kernel version, when you are still on stock firmware.
In your case => XXLB1, which is Android 2.3.6 (GingerBread).

Thank you for clearing it up for me that I have LB1, I previously thought I had KL4 and was going to flash KL3 kernel on my phone.
One last thing, there are a lot of methods on the 2 links you provided and most of them for ICS phones, can you point me to the one which I should be using and is the simplest, I would be greatful
regards
I sugest you use method 1 as it is the simplest and does not involve to many confusing procedures for you.
many thanks mate for all the help, method 1 works like a charm, the only thing left it a yellow rectangle which I will figure out, now its time for me to look for cool roms
So the title says all....i basicly want to root my sgs2,but first tell me the dangers of rooting and how it could be dangerous.
Here is some information about my phone:
Model number: GT-I9100
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version:I9100XXLQ6
Kernel version:
3.0.15-1114882

Im new to this forum and to these rooting things...
so if someone could help me with these things i would appreciate that
so the final question is:How can i root my sgs2?
Guess what ?
Nobody has ever asked that question on here before. Ever. There's no way you'd ever find the information you're after by searching for it.
Aaaaaaand noob's gone...

Hi everyone,
I need you help please, I’ve got SG2 GT-I9100P and it does switch it self 2-3 times a day. I did some reseach and the best way to fix it is by updating it and trying another ROM. Thai’s why I would like to update it to JB 4.1.2,
I’ve been searching online and found a lot of reports regarding the update and alot of ROMs and now I am really very confused and don’t know which rom, apps should I use to root and update my S2.
Could anyone please explain how to update my S2 ( step by step) and which files should I use to do this task (download links).
All Infos about my S2 are listed below.
Many thanks in advance

hi guys and gals, can anyone point me in the right direction? looking to root my sgs2 kernel version: 3.0.31-889696 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT KST 2013, but cant find my kernel version anywhere on the forum, was told to use CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4.zip but my phone wouldn't restart, just sat on the samsung screen with the yellow triangle, have recovered phone from this screen with PhilZ-cwm6-DVLSH-NZL-5.08.5.tar.md5 and seems to work fine, the reason i want to root is my phones system memory fills up by itself and the only way to alleviate the problem is to factory reset, but was told if i root the phone there is a setting to fix this problem. any help is appreciated. thanks

thanks for your reply, and sorry in advance for the noob question, but there are so many kernel versions to choose from and mine looks nothing like any of the others, could you possibly post a link to the right file for my phone? baseband:i9100tdvls3 kernel version:[email protected]#3smp preempt mon feb 18 kst 2013, its not CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4.zip, or am i doing something wrong?
You're not reading the CFRoot thread carefully enough for starters (you also don't revive an old thread & ask the same thing you've already asked in this thread you've created). Flash a custom kernel like Siyah or even PhilZ. Which version ? Read the Siyah or PhilZ threads to determine which version you need to flash for the Android version you're currently running.
If you still really want to use CFRoot, read the section under the bit in bold red that says 'Help! Which file do I use ?'. Read it a number of times. Carefully. There's no trickery or ambiguous language involved. It's really very simple to choose the kernel you need from there (The only hint I'm giving you: It doesn't have to be an exact match with your current kernel/build number).

Nah, just follow the instructions in my Helper Post to get a custom and rooted Jellybean ROM running on your device. If you want to move along to Kit Kat there's specific methods to follow, and those methods are outlined by the guy or gal that cooked the ROM you wish to try...
