What the hell is that ? Not even a google search shows results for that xD
Anyway , if you're 100% sure your phone is the international version ( which it should be 'cause it says I9100 - double check it! ) just flash a stock rom from intratech's thread and then root it via CF-Root method

More likely I9100G.

Thanks all for the reply, but if i flash a custom rom should i root first or root after flashing? And should my kernel be the same with the custom rom?

Is usual to follow the instructions and bother to read up and learn before attempting to flash .
Solution is to not root unless you know why and if you want a custom kernel read the instructions as regards rooting in the roms post .
Cynagon mod is not a rom i would flash from a position of ignorance .

Yeh, looks like a i9100G, if it is, dont flash anything designed for the i9100 as it will most likely brick it, again.

Yes yours is a G version, so dnt flash anything related to the i9100 series.
There are limited Custom ROMs and only method works for rooting this.
By the way i too have the G version

@manishdev thanks! but can u give me links to root and the limited custom firmware?
I'll thank you later!

---

did you succeed rooting your device ? I have exactly the same ( It's a i9100G model BTW) ?
Thanks,

Rooting --> Doomlords method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20296629#post20296629
Kernel Flash--> TRy the latest 2.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369977
Use Odian to flash this if it fails try 1.2 first then 2.0 over it using Odian
Custom ROM--> Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374135
Point to remember :
1) No need to root if you directly flash the rooted and cwm kernel i linked in kernel flash using odian
2)Flash the Custom ROM using CWM very easy

I managed to root with DooMLoRD zergrush and flashed MyGKernel using Ktool.
I will just wait for new roms to come
