Ok, as I have got a little bit time to help you saving time, here are my favorite rooting threads:
1. Chainfire's CF-Root thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root
Please read Chainfire's first two posts carefully before flashing anything.
If you can find the corresponding CF-Root kernel to your ROM (should be "XX_OXA_KG6"), then this is the easiest flashing method and provides the CWM Manager (including ClockWorkMod recovery with additional features for backup, recovery, flashing zip files, flashing kernels, etc.).
2. Intratech's "Quick Root Guide" in his first post of this thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
This is a little bit more manually but works on every ROM (you only need the stock kernel to get rid of the yellow triangle after flashing).
Thank's for helping.Will try tomorrow.

Ok, I've recently gotten my SGS2 and have read a number of threads on rooting (new android user).
I feel like I have some info handy to start rooting the phone but I'm still apprehensive. Can anyone help me here?
I was looking to load a custom ROM, let's say for example: [ROM] Lite'ning Rom v2.1 XXKG1
Will it work with my 2.3.3/XWKF1? Should I start with the CF-Root with Chainfire's method? Can't string it here, as you see there's some confusion up top.
The general start point is to read the details on the rom post you intend to flash .
In your case read the Litening post and all is answered for that rom .Want a different rom read the instructions for that rom .
Nothing to stop you using Chainfires CF root first .

Yes, CF is the man with whose kernel you should start rooting. There is no problem with CF kernels, just flash it and enjoy.

Hello everyone, I've just recently switched from iPhone 4S to Android Galaxy S II. My phone info is given below:
Model: GT-I9100T
Android version: 2.3.5
Basband version: I9100TDUKJ1
PDA: I9100TDUKJ1
PHONE: I9100TDUKJ1
CSC: I9100TVAUKJ1
I have already followed the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 to root my phone. I used http://download.chainfire.eu/50/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_LUX_KJ1-v5.0-CWM5.zip and used Odin to flash it. I'm now having the yellow triangle which I want to get rid of. According to the instruction, it says "(4) Find an original Samsung signed stock kernel (preferably from the same stock firmware you have, but it's not terribly important)" however, the secure kernel link which I found from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671 does not seem to be listing any KJ1 version. Can anyone please provide me a link for downloading this? Would it be the one here? http://hotfile.com/dl/144715979/1949050/I9100JPKJ2_I9100OJPKJ1_I9100XXKI4_HOME.tar.7z.html
Thanks in advance.
metalmaze,
Your best bet would be to download the stock firmware from Samsung themselves. Unlike many other companies, Samsung has a database where all (or rather most) of their stock firmwares are stored.
Since I'm unable to post outside links on the forum for now, do a Google search for "SamMobile firmware" and click on the first link. You will have to register in order to download any files from SamMobile, but it is quick and free, definitely worth it.
Hope this solves the issue! Best of luck!

Get the KJ1 kernel from here, read the first post very carefully, follow the instructions to the letter & you should have a rooted SGS2 within a few minutes

Hey omar7os, the link you gave me does not have the KJ1 kernel so far I can see? Also, the rooting part isn't the problem, the flashing of the stock kernel to get rid of the yellow exclamation mark, while retaining CWM v5's features enabled is the problem. I believe this is due to not having the proper stock kernel for the KJ1?

Hey omar,
You're missing my issue here. My issue is not rooting, that's easy. But I'm trying to get rid of the yellow icon by following the instructions which is not working. So I believe I need the stock kernel for KJ1.
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
Dear all,
I'm sorry in advance if the post exist but I'm completely lost with the process of rooting and install cwm and new roms on my Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100. I searched a lot how to do it and in the safer way as I don't want to brick my phone.
My phone version is:
PDA: I9100XWKE7
PHONE: I9100JCKE1
CSC: I9100JCKE1
Android Version : 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100JCKE1
Kernel Version: 2.6.37.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725 [email protected]#2

Please help I would like to root and install Jellybean ROM 4.1.2 or 4.2 either Official or Custom on it. If needed install CWM

Did you even read the thread ?
Follow the instructions in the thread to upgrade your phone to stock JB, root it, download your custom rom of choice, follow the instructions on the first page of the thread devoted to that rom in order to flash it.
