Hi there,
Im new here, and got a bit confused with rooting GS2...
I've already had an GS and rooted easily, and recetly bought GS2.
Reading the forum, i've found about the Kernels to use for rooting.
My version is UHKI1 (Brazil) with Gingerbread 2.3.4.
Model: GT-I9100
Android Version: 2.3.4 Gingerbread
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100UHKI1
I didnt found the insecure kernel for this model on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671&page=35)
The point is, how can i root my phone without the insecure kernel?
And if i can help, how can i send my version so this version can have an isecure kernel.
Thks!

I have a Samsung Galaxy SII
baseband version: i9100BOKJ1
Kernel version: BOKK1 stock
Is it possible if i flash the BOKG2 stock, then flash again to Insecure 'BOKG2'
I know how to root Samsung Galaxy S2 phone i have Done previously but i need help finding the 'BOKK1' Insecure kernel.
I appreciate if anyone could help
Thanks
we also dont....like you searched and dont find,
donno why both stock and insecure not available for this version, may be not leaked..that is why CF-root not available...
go for another stock ROM to flash from ODIN for which CF-root available for rooting, both links are on my signature.
Hey guys,
I'm a real noob at roms, rooting etc but i followed a tutorial on Youtube which lead me to root my phone using Odin and Superoneclick. I have no idea what this did as i didn't notice a difference on my phone but now ICS is released for my Galaxy SII which is TmobileUk branded. However, when i check on Kies, it says New Firmware Is Available but when i click Firmware Upgrade button then nothing happens. When I click Firmware upgrade and initialization under tools i get the error GT-I9100 does not support initialising. When reading on forums i found out this is because of me rooting so i searched on how to unroot Galaxy S2 but everything comes up with Unroot and installing Stock Kernal etc but i am not sure if i have installed a kernal but i can remember i put XWKDD file in ODIN.
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100BOKF1
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.BOKF3
and i have no MOD VERSION which i fugured is for a rom.
When typing *#1234# i get these versions:
PDA: I9100BOKF3
PHONE: I9100BOKF1
CSC: I9100TMUKF1
I have read some posts and found UK Tmobile have BOKF3 etc from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
but i do not know what todo with it.
Also i just installed an app called Ginger Unroot which has unrooted my phone so if i need to root or do anything can you explain please and will any of the steps wipe my phone (apps, data etc)
I really need this help
Thanks in advance
RE
Im real desperate
What most people do one they root their phones is install ROMs based off of the official release. It's like getting the release, and guaranteeing root access. I think that's a better way. You have more freedom. Otherwise, you can upgrade and pray that Samsung doesn't release something that breaks your rooting capabilities. Check the forums for a ROM based off if the official OTA update and install that. If you have a custom recovery installed, (Which you should have if you rooted correctly) add far as I know, the update won't work.

Hey there thanks for replying Can i find out if i have a custom rom or kernal as i dont know but i did unroot by an app called Ginger Unroot and checked with basic root checker which confirmed that i no longer have root access but the error still comes up. So if an OTA Update is released, then can I download that?

ICS 4.03 is safe. Do not update it to 4.04 official rom. You can easily root your phone and install CWM recovery. Then flash a custom 4.0.4 ROM or whatever you like. For a start i suggest this rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824586
hi, i currently have a Korean sgs2 sgh-m250s..rooted with Litening ROM v1.2 currently with the following phone info:
Model Number: gt-i9100
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: M250S.EE17.1453.ST
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725 root @DELL 103 #2

i was wondering if i can flash Rootbox Jelly Bean ROM for Galaxy S2 i9100! [Android 4.1.2] [V3] on this phone? because someone told me that i need certain roms for a certain brand of smartphones coz it might not be compatible.
i hope for your kind reply..ty so much..
You have an international device which is the standard I9100 like the UK ones but different label. You can flash basically any here expect the ones on the I9100G forum and ones that end in a letter like.
Please doont ask how you root or flash custom roms, we already have plenty of question topics with answers that cover that aswell as sticky topics and guides.
