Hi there,
I bought a SGS2 phone which has been already rooted. Proberby using one of there kernels: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I want to update the kernel (one of these http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2011/10...ernelsfirmware-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s2-sii/), but I cannot figure out which kernel version to use. (because the kernel string is overwritten by the already flashed kernel)
Hope you can help me.
My phone's information:
----------------------------
Android-version:
2.3.5
Baseband-version:
I9100XXKI4
Kernelversion:
2.6.35.11-ninphetamine-2.1.3+ [email protected] #26
Buildnumber:
GINGERBREAD.XWKJ3
----------------------------
Thanks in return!
Hey there,
After 2 years I've decided to root my SGS2, Ive been through flashing with nokia's and that kind of things. However, Im a total NOOB in android rooting.
My problem is the following:
I've updated my phone to ICS 4.0.4 (biggest mistake of my life).
Now I've searched everywhere to find a root manual for my Firmware-version, but I keep coming up with german sites (I'm Dutch).
Google translate does its work like a piece of sh**, so I've lost all of my faith.
After some crappy translating, I read something about a hard-brick of this firmware.
My question is: Wich version is safe to root on my phone?!
Info about my phone:
Carrier: T-mobile
Model: GT-I9100 (ofcourse)
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: I9100BOLP7
Kernel version: 3.0.15-1056084 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 24 17:36:36 KST 2012
Build number: IMM76D.BOLPM
I hope my question isn't a dumb one, if so, I'm sorry!

I want the Siyah kernel, but before I can flash that, I need root! Chainfire hasn't made the file that roots this specific firmware yet, so how do I root it?

Flashing Siyah will also root your phone. Just make sure you use the correct version of Siyah for your model and version of Android.
You do not need to root your phone to flash Siyah kernel.
When you flash Siyah you will get root. Here's what you do:
#download siyah kernel
#Boot phone to download mode
#Open Odin and connect phone
#put siyah kernel .Tar file in PDA section of Odin.
#click start.
It is extremely difficult to brick your phone flashing a kernel in Odin.
Good luck

Hi Everyone,
All help appreciated.
I can't figure out which file to use to root the following S2:
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband: I9100XXKI1
Kernel: [email protected]#2
Can someone point the way?
Thanks!
Can't you find like an old kernel from Siyah or CF-root for Gingerbread to root? And do you have an international GT-I9100?
Maybe he's not allow to read the threads.
Oh the humanity....
