How to root Samsung galaxy sII I9100 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry , i don`t know if i can just open a thread or if i must have some posts and other things , because i`m new here but i have a quastione :
HOw can i root this device : Samsung galaxy sII GT-I9100
Android version : 2.3.4
Kernel version :2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468 [email protected] 143#2
please if someone can help me please let me know

You know that there is a forum for the galaxy s2?
Anyway, the easiest way is to use CF-root. You'll find it on the forums here. You'll need either Odin or Heimdall to flash the root-kernel.

Note, your phone is a i9100G so almost everything on this forum wont work on your phone.
The easiest way to root would be to flash this kernel, and if you want a custom rom, this rom.
They are the only custom kernel/rom for the i9100G
So just download it and flash it It wont stuck ? cuz it stucked last time on the start up screen ?
And bare with me cuz we all start at a point when i use the odin what do use pda or csc phone or bootloader ?

The flashing guide in this thread is still valid, just not the firmware downloads.

If you want to *just* root and dont want to flash a custom kernel, this thread has a full guide
Im sorry, im not going to type out the info in the linked thread again.. its very easy to follow.
If you want to flash the kernel;
1) Download the file, it should be a .tar
2) download odin
3) download and install drivers (if you have kies and drivers installed kill kies from task manager)
4) put phone into download mode (power off, press+hold home+voldown then press power)
5) open odin
6) Connect the USB cable and wait for the ID:COM section to turn yellow#
7) put kernel in the PDA box
8) hit flash
Many many thanks brother ive just rooted it and i hope u put this method in the forums for guys like me lol
And just a last Q what do i use roms and custom kernel for ?

Custom kernels add: CWM recovery, flash zips, nandroid full phone backups, any other features in the kernel.
Custom roms: Any mods/themes/etc in the rom, read the two threads and see if you want any of the features.

Use an insecure kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399, have a look at your kernel version in settings, and then find the matching version in the thread.

It is a G model. (GT-I9100G) See here for more info near the bottom of the thread. (which, incidentally, I found with a simple google search for "jpkk1 root". It was the first result)

If you have a Note, why are you looking in the Galaxy SII forum for ROMs? Go to the Note forum. But make sure you go to the specific Note forum for your particular model.

Isn't there any update.zip available that can be flashed via recovery ??
Or any PC software such as SuperOneClick ??
I9100G root kernels here, which you can flash by following the guide here. SuperOneClick, don't know a lot about it as I've never used it, search on here for the thread.
No, there is nothing you can flash from standard Android recovery to root your phone.

I hate to admit how much I LOVE seeing these threads where people flash the wrong firmware because they are too lazy to research what they are doing.
Send me your phone, I'll even pay shipping and handling for it. I'll revive it and put it to good use because obviously you have ZERO idea how to use it

Download Odin.
Download Siyah 4.1.5 kernel.
Plug your phone into the computer.
Put you phone in Download mode.
Put the kernel in PDA.
Flash the kernel.
Congratz! You have root. Plus a brickbug safe and great kernel.

DO NOT follow those instructions.
You have an SPH-D710, which is the Epic 4G Touch.
I don't think that Siyah kernel will work on your phone.
You should go to the Epic 4G Touch forum, as Sun90 states above.

You need to give more details about your phone whenever asking for help. Phone model No., which ROM were you on, and any small info that can help.
In any case, you don't need to worry. All you need to do is to flash a stock firmware via Odin. Go to sammobile.com, register (it free), search for firmwares for your device model (I9100 or I9100G, whichever is yours), and download any firmware. Extract it so you get a .tar file. Download Odin (software for PC) and flash the downloaded rom.
If you don't understand or find the steps complicated, ask again.
