hi
i have recently changed from an x10 mini pro to a samsung galaxy s2 but it is full of orange bloatware. i have been searching on how to root my galaxy s2 but i haven't really found anything. i only want to root my phone, not install a custom rom or anything.
my phones details are:
model number: GT-I9100P
Android version: 2.3.4
baseband version: I9100PBVKI2
kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100PBVKI3-CL608158 [email protected] #2
build number: GINGERBREAD.BVKI3
it has nfc and is an orange uk phone.
i would like to be able to root it without losing any functionality if possible.
sorry for the noobish question but everything on the galaxy s2 seems confusing to me :L
thanks

Thanks.

Hello! Got the same from Orange.
I have tested Chainfire and Sayiah Kernels, they doesn't modify NFC abilities (so it's ok).
However, our I9100P are yet very poorly supported, due to GS2 NFC being "lost" in the flood of previous "old" nfc.
Support may come from AOSP 2.3.7 (yet, max is 2.3.5)
I haven't tested custom roms yet.
TIP : Backup STOCK ROM using kTool 1.23 or the ZergRush exploit.
>Won't tell you how to since it's too late for me
Have fun!
Hi guys,
i've just received my new Samsung galaxy s2 phone. I'm not sure what tutorial to follow and where to get the correct I9100PBVKI3 file from.
MODEL: GT-I9100P
ANDROID VERSION: 2.3.4
BASEBAND VERSION: I9100PBVKI2
KERNEL: [email protected] #2
BUILD NO: GINGERBREAD.BVKI3
Could anyone help me ASAP pls!
Thank You
PS: This is the new NFC model.
Hi, I also have just got hold of a GT-I9100P model. It's branded with orange, and the orange bloatware and apps are getting me down.
Does someone have the 'official' GT-I9100P ROM/image for the 'unlocked/unbranded' variant of this?
Many thanks in advance
If they do then it will be in the Stock roms post.

Hi,so I've got my first android phone, an UK Samsung galaxy S2 GT-i9100p with NFC, and I want to get rid of all of the orange logos and apps. Can I flash an official GT-i9100 firmware on my GT-I9100P and then enable Signal boost and NFC? If so, can I get a guide on how to do it as I am scared to brick my phone.
here are my phone details:
model number: GT-I9100P
Android version: 2.3.4
baseband version: I9100PBVKI2
kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100PBVKI3-CL608158 [email protected] #2
build number: GINGERBREAD.BVKI3
Thanks indeed.

Thank you. One more question: What firmware should i choose as there are hundreds of them?
I don't really have one to recommend, but generally the latest (non-unstable ICS) would be the most wise choice, which is probably the "frankenstein" XWLA4.
So generally i just download the Frankestein XWLA4 firmware and flash it via Odin? Sorry for asking noobish questions.
Yes thats what will work .

ICS 4.03 is safe. Do not update it to 4.04 official rom. You can easily root your phone and install CWM recovery. Then flash a custom 4.0.4 ROM or whatever you like. For a start i suggest this rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824586
Hi, I got this new Galaxy Tab from Korea and I'm wondering how am I supposed to root it? I have no experience on rooting whatsoever, so I really need exact and guaranteed instructions. I tried rooting my tab twice, it ended in a Coma Brick twice and I had to send it to Samsung Help desk twice to repair it.
Here's my Specs:
Model Number: SHW-M180S
Firmware Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: M180S.FE18.1503.ST
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UF08
I need precise and accurate information. Thank you.
Not really sure if this is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 since its Gingerbread 2.3.6. Stock Galaxy Tab 10.1 comes with Honeycomb 3.1.

Well considering... according to Google that it's a Samsung Galaxy 7 SHW-M180S Korea
If your trying to root and flash a rom from here might explain why you had to send it back twice...
Head over to here and take a look!
