Hi
Im kinda new here I have a Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G
Android version 2.3.6
Baseband : I9100GDZKK1
Kernel :2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
build no :GINGERBREAD.JPKK1
after searching the forums i found two custom ROMS for my phone but both for the kernel DZKJ2 which is also for android 2.3.6.
i have few questions
- what is the best methods for rooting this device and how do i install CWM recovery for the G version ?
- after installing CWM can i install the custom ROM directly or i need to install custom kernel first... and will that custom kernel ruin my phones stock ROM ?
Thanks ...

You follow the instruction thats as simple as it is .
directly or i need to install custom kernel first... and will that custom kernel ruin my phones stock ROM ?
Does not make sense you need to read the FAQS and GUIDES
A custom kernel will no longer be a stock kernel .

My Android .Ver. is 2.2.1
1) I can root my device with SuperOneClick? YES? You should try Gingerbreak too used it when my o1 is till on froyo and its easier
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
2) SuperOneClick will do all the work,and when he finish my phone will be rooted? yeah phone will be rooted but you must update superuser too. i think it's binaries aren't updated
about ROM:
1) What is "Old BaseBand" ? Refers to baseband before you updated to gingerbread 2.3.3.
2) Those ROM's are good for my phone?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20340697
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354 read reviews. if it matches your own way on how you will plan to use your phone then try it.
3) If those ROM are not good for my phone,what ROM should i install? idk im stuck with stock gb rom
4) Kernel: When i will install ROM,I have to install a custom Kernel Too? some roms have already packed with kernels. just remember .32 goes with .32 and .35 with .35 and the most important READ
5) After I rooted my phone,I installed Rom Manger.
Can i flash a ROM with ROM Manger?
thank you! Absolutely NO! just kidding.. yeah. its the easiest way to flash ROM to your phone
As far as I know.
Thanks.
But i still don't understand the Old BaseBand .
All O1 phones are Old BaseBand before they updated to 2.3.3?
So if my phone is android 2.2.1 he is old BaseBand?
If u have android 2.2.1 u can root using gingerbreak.
to root download gingef break
den instLl rom managed
install recovery ( make sure u hve wifi / fast net )
den choose any rom nd kernel
juat make sure kenel version nd roms kernel eg. mik 6.6.1 can use .35 kernel but 6.5.8 can !
i m dont suggestin rom & kernel bcoz i m also findin nice one !
i hope i helped !
press thanks !

U can install both of the roms as they support old baseband and it is not necessary to flash a diffrent kurnel with a rom
Since u have 2.2.1 root using gingerbreak and u need to flash recovery before flashing custom rom it is the first option in rom manager.

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

If you want to get back to factory default. Kies would flash a generic rom for your phone. Madmack 1.5 is either the rom or the theme of your phone. Is it a custom rom or stock rom you want to install?
i just want a factory rom for download in case something goes wrong .. and i want to install dlevs rom or criskelo rom ..
or is it safe for me to install roms? and my phone will alwayz be rooted???
i dont want to go for stock . but if my phone goes dead then i need a stock firmware??

Yes it is safe to install Roms. If you do it wrong you will just get a soft brick easily recoverable. Read the forums on how to flash a rom and kernel
First download odin ill attach it for you:
Second download .tar kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263838
Flash the kernel with Odin
Download CriskeloRom, his thread can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168836
His download links are dead you should be able to find a download link here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168836&page=982
Flash the rom with clockworkmod
That's it all you need

Stock kernels are not that good! Custom kernels come with a lot more features, Way faster performance, smoother and just all round better!!. With regular updates i do see that it is necessary for me anyway. It takes 2 seconds to install
If you need me to install the kernel PM me?
my battery timings are very good now .. if i install siyah kernel will it eat my battery or give me good time ??? and im using iptables+proxydroid right now bcoz i am behing a proxy server.. will iptables work on roms??

If anything it will make your battery times even better and im sure of this. Well if it worked before on stock kernel and stock rom there is no reason why it wouldnt work on custom kernels and roms
just want to know another thing criskelo rom is in english or spanish ?? i want to install this rom .. then ics !

hi
i m new to s2 but i was using nexus s before
now i have few questions please clear my doubts
1.for now my phone is not rooded if i install a custom kernel with odin will the phone be rooted if that rom has root?
2.for now my phone is not rooded if i install a custom rom with odin will the phone be rooted if that rom has root?
thank you
Flash a ChainFire kernel using odin (follow the links in my signature). Try and keep it close to your current rom / kernel number. Its all in the instructions on their page.
Then flash your new roms either through recovery (follow links in my signature) or using odin.

for now my rom is official s2 rom for 2.3.6
and in cf-root thread the kernel required for my version is untested
what to do?
can i just flash rooted custom kernel via odin?
and does odin require kies to be installed?

YES if the custom kernel is rooted .
2.for now my phone is not rooded if i install a custom rom with odin will the phone be rooted if that rom has root?
Yes but CWM is normal custom install .
and in cf-root thread the kernel required for my version is untested
what to do? MAKE A DECISION developer does not have time to test every build .
can i just flash rooted custom kernel via odin?
Only if custom kernel is Odin flash most/all are CWM.
and does odin require kies to be installed?
YES or at least Samsung USB Drivers .
