Insecure kernel vs secure kernel - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I have a insecure kernel installed.
do I need to install a secured kernel?
is there any issues with staying with a insecure kernel?
if I update with a new kernel does the kernel need to be with the firmware I have ie 2.3.5

Insecure kernel just means adb has root permissions, and its not really a problem in the long run as long as it's upto date.
It's best to match the kernel to the rom you are using, so a ki3 2.3.5 kernel with a ki3 rom etc.

I have rooted my phone using the insecure kernel of chainfire and I also obtained the stock kernel provided by him. But, when I load the stock kernel using Odin my phone is just restored and I lose the root. What's wrong there? Any idea?!

root goes through the kernel so putting a non-rooted kernel back on takes away root
you need to search for a stock rooted kernel to go back to stock kernel and still have root

I rooted and kepted an inscure kernel on my phone and had no problems and if you are going to flash a custom rom then it will come with an inscure kernel anyway.

Did you ever find the secure kernel for the GT-i9100? I just rooted my device but I can't find a secure original kernel anywhere. I would like to have root on my phone with a secure kernel. Why is this so far to find? Do most people just operate their phones with the insecure kernel? Isn't that unsafe?
