Hi,
My Galaxy GT-9100G is not showing the complete long kernel version which makes me unable to do any kind of software upgrade or rooting because I cannot know the exact version to download the appropriate files.
Any idea what could be the problem? is there any software that can retrieve the kernel version..
the attached picture is worth a thousand words...
Thank you in advance...
your android version 2.3.4. kernal KH8 with KH5 modem.
Hey! I have the same kernel, i'm new here. I just bought my G SII. Will rooting bricks the device? How to root this with Lite'Ning? Thanks!

Thanks, But as u can see the kernel and baseband are different. Which kernel shd I use? And I don;t understand 95% of the article! lol. I am a super noob!! I appreciate if u can help me make sense of all these things.
KF1 Kernel a kernel is not a baseband .
Kernel is the bit between cpu and OS .Baseband is the modem for network/GPS .
As rooting voids your warranty you should understand what you are doing before carrying out the task .

Well, I have few rooted phones behind me, and honestly, I did not really understand the thread(which is supposed to be for noobs) either... I just picked up one of those Kernels(KF4) and flashed it, phone is working just fine, so I guess I picked up the correct one, however no idea whats the difference between them anyways

I happen to have a similar question!
I'm on 2.3.3/XWKF1 right now, if so, should I download CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OJV_KF1-v4.0-CWM4.zip?
But isn't it the KG1 that's gonna update me to 2.3.4?
This info to be exact...

KG1 is just a kernel for andorid 2.3.4..and you need to upgrade rom to 2.3.4 as well.

yes you should not have any problems. follow guide in the thread's first post and you should be fine make sure you backup your rom first
Make sure you are rooted first before flashing any custom roms first though.

You can install a rom for any phone but unless it is for the i9100G model or indeed whatever model you have it will brick the phone .
I would have thought that it was obvious that flashing firmware or roms for different model phones would be part of the basics understood from reading the faqs and guides first .

Hey,
Thanks for the reply.
Could you please further explain.
The most recent update isn't on the list I saw.
Can I simply flash another STOCK rom so that I have a revision number that is common, e.g. XXALF2
Will that root site you linked work for any revision, including the one I have above??
Please be really specific as I really want to root just a little worried.

BUMP, any advice please
If its international version you can flash any stock rom you want .
major differences may be one language also modem and CSC file for local network auto setup .
Custom roms the same .
