Hi I followed several guides to rooting my galaxy s2 but I can't seem to find my kernel online. Maybe I'm just looking wrong where our says kernel version it says: 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EG30-CL435734 child anyone tell me what kernel I need?

Still can't find insecure Kernel.
Hi: having searched, I can't seem to find either a secure or an insecure kernel: looking for BVKH2 - which I guess is quite new since I've just got my handset.
Any other sources that anybody might know of please?
Thanks,
Mike

Use the KF4 kernel from the CFRoot thread.

Correct root file for KI9 kernel
Hello everybody,
I updated my firmware version trough Kies today, from KF3 to KI9.
As I wanted to root my S2 in order to install MIUI, i searched for the KI9 kernel at Chainfire's thread, but didn't find the corresponding file.
I searched the forum and came up with this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...75278&page=708
Unfortunately I can not reply on an developers section of the forum, so i thought this was the best place to ask it:
Which kernel should I use in order to correctly root my phone ?
Many thanks

Yes. There's only 1 insecure and 1 secure of KF4 in that link anyways.

Your link is bad. Has the ellipses in the URL, so it doesn't link to anything.
I can't find a KI9 firmware for the GT-I9100. What is your full model information?
EDIT: I think I see - XWKI9 looks like it is a carrier branded firmware for Belgium, which is why I didn't find it initially. See this post. (which I found REALLY easily with a Google search)
KI9 kernel
Sorry for the bad link, the thread is called : "[ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH, KI, KJ, KK1/2/5, KL1/2/3, LA2 Download" , and the particular post is from "Crucio_".
My full model information is :
Model : GT-I9100
Android-version: 2.3.5
Baseband-version : I9100XXKI4
Kernel-version : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI9-CL630390 [email protected] #2
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XWKI9
Thx for the quick response
EDIT: The link you reffered to is actualy the same thread I wrote in this post . I just would like confirmation about the KI4 kernel being compatible with the KI9 version.

See my edit above.
EDIT: ah. That post I linked is the one you attempted to link.
So long story short, you need the same kernel HeavyLaws needed, the KI4 kernel.
I think i understand
I don't want to keep rambling about this, but I would like to understand how this works.
I noticed that the Baseband-version also ends on KI4, is this of any relevance?
So i guess if you have time, i would like the long story
Thx again
EDIT: doesn't HeavyLaws need the KF4 kernel instead of the KI4 kernel?

Re: HeavyLaws - whoops! You're right. He needs KF4. You need KI4. Sorry about that!
So long story isn't really that long actually. From what I understand, Proximus just took XWKI4, branded it, added their tweaks, and re-versioned it as XWKI9. There are probably more details than that, but I don't really know all of them.
KI9 kernel
I get it
So in theorie, flashing the KI4 kernel should't give any problems cause it's basically the same kernel as the KI9 with some minor tweaks?
Just want to be sure that i won't jam my phone by using this kernel .
Thx for the answers man, I appreciate it

Pretty much, but you can just flash the KI9 kernel back after you get root if you want. Stock KI9 kernel is on this page, just search for the term "XWKI9 Stock Kernel". This will also have the effect of getting rid of the yellow triangle when rebooting the phone.
I dont post often because I can usually (confidently) find what I need by reading all the great info already posted but I'm new to android and have a few questions.
I rooted my Galaxy S 2 really easily by reading/downloading various things throughout the forums...no problem. Currently runing CheckROM V5/Siyah v1.7.8 Kernel. It was easy because I had no problem locating the correct Kernel for rooting ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182922 )
A month later I got one for my wife for her birthday, threw out her old Iphone 3g and started trying to get it rooted. My problem is I can not find a matching kernel to root this one with. Its got XWKDD/2.3.3 on it...wont update through Kies and here is where my questions start:
Can I update this manually through odin with a stock 2.3.5 rom (or any other)? It should update the kernel along with the firmware and then I can find a matching one to root with...correct? I'm just a little nervous because searching for "KDD" in the forums yeilds like two topics that no one ever answered. Is there something weird about this firmware? Any help appreciated.
flash any stock firmware from Intratechs thread using Odin, that ought to do the job

Yes from Intratechs thread .

KDD was almost day one release for SGS2 May 2011 long forgotten now .

and i want to know if this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274 will support
I am new to rooting did read most info but scared abit
Thanks
You can root without the need to insecure kernel. The method is available in the root guide in the official firmware thread in the dev forum.
If you want to use an insecure kernel then you can use anyone of them, doesn't need to match your current firmware... just chose the latest one.
Thanks for the fast reply this mean i can use Lite'ning Rom v6.1 XXKH3 = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274

I have no idea how you got to that from the above, but yes, I guess you could use Lite'ning ROM, but that's nothing to do with what you asked for. Do you understand the difference between kernel, ROM and root?
what version do i need to root my phone? Give me example this will help alot. Asking because i dont want to mess up the phone.
I know i been a supper noob

Use the Kj3 CF-root Kernel, then you can change to which Rom you like. This is what i used and I've tried several Roms but found stock rooted does me fine

Better method CWM and root read the instructions first .
Root + CWM .

I know you're trying to be helpful JJE, but since he has GDZKL3, he has an I9100G for which there is no CF-Root.
Anyway, at OP, you don't necessarily need an insecure kernel in order to root. There are at least two "G" rooted kernels in the development areas.

Yes i see users dont tell its different phone .
I have kept clear of G stuff and it does seem a bit silly yo have G posters in a forum thats going to break their phone ..
Wanted non international version section tacked on to the forum .

so when i want to root, on odin i put the superatoms_v2.1.tar as the PDA ? instead of the insecure kernel ?

Hi. I just rooted and installed cyanogenmod 9 to my phone and right now i think i had enough problems and bugs with it. I would like to ask, how i can get back to the stock version ICS i had before the root? At least stay there for a while, since i also cant restore my kies backup to my phone.
unfortunately i didnt do a backup in recovery. here are the details i know about the phone so far.
Model: gt-I9100
SSN: =I9100GSMH
FCC ID: A3LGTI9100
Bought from Poland, this year.
If there's any more detail i have to look for and mention, i'll do it asap.
Cheers....

use your second link for Guides for ODIN flashing....
and select and download ICS rom from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
No need of a seperate stock kernel, it is already contained in the package...
Rooting kernel links are available on the above link...
