1. note the current version of your rom
2. goto chainfire cf root thread in "original android development page"
3. download the matching cf root version
4. flash it via cwm
I can't seem to figure out which one I should use
My kernel is: LPQ

No but only a foold does not have a backup of data and most important rule one backup your EFS folder .

How do I backup that???
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
First time i flashed i tried CF-Root kernel but no go, then i tried Siyah kernel, just flash via odin and then i got root and CW Recovery
The latest stable siyah kernel should work fine (they run fine on all stock SGS2 roms as far as i know)
What about speed mod for ics?

Yes you will but you could remove with triangle away from play store.

But I've read it could possibly brick the phone harder than a boot loop?

If you put the wrong one, it could.
Settings> About Phone> Baseband Version> check the last 3 letters, and I believe yours is LPQ so get CF-Root for LPQ and you should be good. After flashing that with Odin, you should have CWM and root.
Use the efs app to make a backup.

I'm still a little confused on how root my phone.. do I just flash the rooted kernel by chainfire via Odin?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Download the correct file from Chainfire. Unzip it once. Dont unzip it twice. Your looking for the file to end in .tar. Make sure Kies is not running. start Odin as administrater, connect the phone to the pc through USB. ID:COM should show up yellow. Click on PDA. Load the .tar file.
Make sure Re-Partition is NOT TICKED. Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time SHOULD BE TICKED. Press start. DO NOT REMOVE THE USB CABLE till you have a green pass,as this will result in a bricked phone..
How big are my chances to get my phone bricked by using triangleAway??
Im trying to get ready though i have a question. What version of odin should i use to flash speedmod? Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Hi,
doesnt matter - both work fine (1.83 & 3 or something like that)
easier to flash via cwm - but try odin first

Yes, you can downgrade to a Gingerbread stock rom from the ICS rom you're currently running.
You can download GB stock roms from Samfirmware.com or AndroidFirmwares.Net.

Done downgrade my phone. Now my phone running android 2.3.6. Im very now and thanks whose those helped me in this process. So what a good kernel for my phone now?
Sent from my GT-P6200 using xda premium
Glad you got it sorted
I always liked using Siyah on GB roms. But one thing you need to watch out for - make sure you flash a Gingerbread kernel now you're running GB stock. If you flash an ICS or JB kernel, your phone won't boot (doubt you'd brick it outright, but stranger things have happened here).
As long as you do that, you'll be fine Have a look in the development sections of the board & you should be able to find threads with GB kernels that work with stock.

May I know why you are not able to use Odin?
That is a very simple way to root.
It depends on your current firmware/kernel. I was able to flash and never used Odin I've rooted the phone using exynos abuse as I had really vulnerable kernel, then I installed Recovery by rom manager and flashed stuff from the open recovery. But make sure that exynos abuse works for your firmware before using it and make sure you know what you are doing and don't touch anything else then root option in this program
I install samsung kies. But still when i connect my S3 to my PC nothing happen. Sorry for my bad english

The date of purchase means nothing. I know that you have stock firmware, but there are many stock firmware versions (even if all are 4.1.2) and they have different vulnerabilities. I was at XXELL4 kernel at stock, which is old and vulnerable, but you may be on one of the newest kernel which can't be abused without ODIN. Please take more time to read guides and get more familiar with the phone, as your next post might start by "I've bricked my phone, please help" You will survive few days at stock rom and it seems that you don't know the basics

KIES & Odin do not play well together, hence you should deinstall KIES in case you want to use Odin, will save you a lot of time solving connection issues.
Otherwise as mentioned.

Do not use Kies!
All you need to do is install the drivers of your phone and once that is
done and Kies is opened infront of you open, go to
Task Manager > Processes > Remove All Kies Related Applications
and then use Odin to root your phone.
1. Provide us with kernel version.
2. Are you on ICS/JB?
3. Are you on OS X? If you are use Heimdall; Mac alternative to Odin. Otherwise there is no reason why you should use anything other than Odin/Heimdall, just flash CF Root.
what do you need root for? if you don't know the difference between Kies and Odin, don't root it, you'll brick it
hello everybody

You can flash PhilZ-kernel with built-in CWM recovery. Have a look at PhilZ-kernel thread to find the appropriate kernel for you.

In http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270 you can find your appropriate kernel, but you need to choose the right one, because the latest kernels are for JellyBean only.
No, you don't need Odin/heimdall and you don't' need a PC even if it's better to have one at hand when it comes to issues.
One hint: read and try to understand everything before flashing. If you are unsure, ask, otherwise there is a chance to brick the device, especially with 4.0.4 stock (-> brick bug)

okay thanks dude, but is there a safe one even if with a PC, I'm used to rooting and flashing recovery mods and kernels using PC and odin for my s3 and it is very safe and no chance of bricking the phone, so is there a similar way for s2 ?

just download the 'Siyah kernel v 5.0.1' (.tar file for flash with Pc odin) from the link below and flash the same on ur phone using PC odin, it will root ur phone and install a working, brick free cwm recovery, which u can use to flash any custom rom/kernel of ur choice

thanks a lot bro, will give it a try today
btw im going to flash the latest jellybam on i9100 so will siyah have any problem regarding the ROM ? i mean will there be any lag or something ?
CWM matters, not the kernel you're actually on.
Of course if you're on 4.0.4's kernel you can't wipe.
Sent from...this is not even my S2
The Siyah kernel will be overwritten during the jellybam flash anyway......so as mentioned. ...the kernel doesn't matter/won't cause compatibility issues

ok thanks a lot dudes that really helped a lot
