Hello, I just bought a Galaxy S2 and I would like to root it, reading on the different tutorials it recommends to use the kernel with a code as close as mine for the insecure one, and that in any case I can put back the original kernel after the rooting, all that is nice and understandable, however I'm unable to locate the kernel UHKI2 (I checked here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 in this second one I do see some files for my kernel but they are exe files, so not sure what to do with them), is there any other one that I can use without having the risk of damaging the phone? Any specific measures that I have to take while rooting?
Thanks in advance
UHKI2..

Hello everybody,
I got myself my very first Android phone yesterday, and I'm really glad with all of it's features, but I'd like to root it, the problem is is that it's running on kernelversion XWKJ3 and I can't find any thread, post, video, etc about if it actually IS possible to root the phone on this kernel, because according to some videos I need a speciffic kernel to root the phone, and I just can't find any, and I'm out of ideas. I don't know if it doesn't matter what kernel you need, or anything, and I can't seem to find it either.
Thanks already for just taking your time to read this,

Everything you need to know about rooting is here.
Basically everything you need to do to get root, is to flash a kernel, that has root enabled
It's in the 7th post of this thread.

Hello.
I need access to a file, but on several sites on google - all say that i need to root...
So i want to root my phone, but still keep the "official" android (dont want CyanogenMod etc.)
But im really insecure on how to root my phone - and how risky is it?
Can you please provide me with a guide (with pictures please) on how to root it.
PS: Can i still update my android, if i root the phone?
Will all the data on the phone be deleted? like reinstalling windows....

You should have posted in galaxy s2 section but:
You can keep stock android, just follow this link to root your S2 and it will be fine. There is also video tutorial in the link
You won't be able to update your phone with Software Update but you can always find the latest firmware for S2 from SamFirmware
The sam firmware website is where you can find all the stock firmware for the S2
Your files will be fine such as music pictures etc they will not be wiped and it's not risky to root your phone with the link above
If you have any other questions just ask

Kernel?
Hey.
What is the kernel doing? is that another rom or so? :S
Also heard alot of rumors about the Odin - that is was unstable and such, can you confirm that?
Hi,
I have spent literally the last week trying to locate the file to root my SGS2 android version 4.0.3 with kernel XXLPQ-CL223505
I am getting tired of dead links, links that install IE add-ons that no one will ever use and links that aren't even there.
The only difficult thing about rooting is locating the media first! Please may someone point me in the right direction for the insecure kernel file that I can use with Odin for the above setup?
Many many many thanks in advance!
