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.

mmm As i said bare huh ? Ur talking 2 a Noob Clean slate noob so just a little answer all i need dont give me links i downloaded the kernel its nt tar it read file Type of file :File
And do i need a stock kernel ? where do get one with my firmware ?

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.

here are some info:
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 .

[Q] Galaxy S II update from 2.3.4 to ICS

Hello xda-devs,
I rooted my sgs2 a while back , but now with the official release of ICS on my phone , I'd like to update to it.
My questions are: Can I do it without unrooting the phone? If not , how can I unroot my phone along with most of the apps I got that only work on rooted devices?
Thanks in advance

So I'm guessing ... not?
If you can flash your stock kernel, then you are good to go.
If not, then you can flash the same firmware via Odin

1. Download the latest firmware for your phone and country from Sammobile
2. Backup your important data (Messages, Contacts etc)
3. Read the flashing Guide here
4. Extract the zip file you downloaded.
5. Flash the firmware via Odin
done.
When you are done, let me know.
Also, if you have any questions, do let me know.

You have to Root again. Actually rooting is much easier in ICS.
First, you need to post your Firmware details: Goto Settings > About phone, and post everything you see.

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.

Check my guide in my sig (I know it is for CF-Root, but just replace it with Siyah Kernel 4.1.5 that Sun90 linked above in the PDA section. Perhaps you didn't correctly install Kies or kill the processes, all is explained in my guide.
