[Q] Rooting SGS2 GT-i9100 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i've done some search in xda forums, but none helped, desire HD forums are much better... so i need help from someone to answer me some questions.
1) i have sgs2 GT-i9100 no i9100P or N or G or etc... i want to root it and i want it step by step if you will.
2) if i root my device can i update the software with automatic updates or i will need to flash the updates like flashing a new ROM?
3) Does ROM Manager work on sgs2 just like DHD?
thank you in advance and sorry for my not so good english

Read the quick root tutorial please.

If you're going to use Rom Manager, do not use Clockwork Recovery. Rom Manager tends to break CW & can also cause bootloops. So you either use one or the other

Everything you need to know is in Stickies. If you're expecting easy/to be spoonfed it ain't gonna happen.
If you start messing with your phone before you understand what it is you're doing I can almost guarantee you'll soft brick your phone & potentially be without it for a day or two until you figure out how to fix it. And worse case you may hard brick it.
So...Start reading.

MistahBungle is totally right ...
But because I am/was a rookie to several days/weeks ago, i will help you as far as i can.
Put XDA on your device and you can read all around

You need to install KIES on your Desktop or Laptop ... If so, download ODIN from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=611625&d=1306787405
Just GOOGLE KIES and install !!!

[Q] How do i change my Kernel version info from root info to original

As the title states im looking to remove root info from my kernel version for warranty purposes, my phone shows -
2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468
[email protected] #2
I am not able to use usb for kies or S2 root but i can flash via ODIN and have flashed original rom/kernel to stock but the root info remains under kernel version , is there a way to remove?
Thanks in advance.
I'm sure I answered this very question yesterday ... oh, I did! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22163342#post22163342
That "root" just means that the user "root" compiled the kernel on the machine "DELL143", not that your phone is rooted.
Sorry, but this just has to be done
Ok thank you, i did search the forum but no result came up.
Just need to reset my flash counter and send it back then.
Thanks again

Edit, good to see that you did search OP it's a common mistake to misinterpret the "root" and thinking you've got a rooted device.

[Q] Rooting Galaxy S2

Hi
I'm sure you get this a lot, but I really suck at this. Its my third week surfing these forums and I still can't put a step by step guide in my head on how to root it. A lot of the phrases are out of my understanding, so I'm going to ask and hope someone replies
Here's what I got : Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100. Android 4.0.3 , Kernel 3.0.15-I9100XXLPS-CL294511, Build number IML74K.XXLPS
The question is this : Can I root it with 1 click? Truly, without searching for some drivers and stuff I'm not sure I'll find.
Please be aware that I really suck at this, and that I'm basically rooting my phone for Market Enabler and to remove that thing that pops when you double tap center key, the voice command thing, drives me nuts.
Thank you and have a great day!

Use the XX_OXA_LPS CF-Root kernel to root. (find it by doing a "find on page" on the thread) Follow the instructions in post 1.
You will need Kies installed, but not running, for drivers. (or the standalone Samsung USB drivers) Both or either can be found easily with a Google search.
Hey,
Thank you for your quick reply! I do have Kies, as it came on the phones SD card
I will give this a go right now, thank you again for saving me moar weeks of search <3

?? Your phone's SD card?
You know I meant Kies to be installed on your PC, right?
Hey,
Yeah I know. When I purchased the phone I found Kies installation on the SD card, and installed it on the PC. Was the same with Desire HD, I found HTC Sync installation on the SD card. I thought it was normal

That method does not work for newer releases of 2.3.6 or higher. That includes ICS. Which the OP is on. So it would not work for him.

I didn't download it to check, but just watching the video, (at 3:02) the command window that pops up clearly says "Easy rooting toolkit (v2.0) created by DooMLoRD" up at the top, followed by "Modified by Max Lee @ GalaxyS2Root.com". (I believe Max Lee is zedomax, but I don't know for sure)
I don't know what this Max Lee fellow changed, but I'm willing to bet that the actual exploit used to gain root is exactly the same, yes.
Hey just a quick one
Where do I get odin? And how to put my phone in download mode? Is it power, home, and volume down?
Thank you!
EDIT : Made it, but nowhere it says about USB debugging? Should I put it on or off?
EDIT 2 : Made it Ty all!

That's because it doesn't matter if USB debugging is on or off for Odin flashes.

help to install ics on my galaxy ( Request update on OP)

maybe its noob ,, but if i want to install ICS on my galaxy s2 .. do i have to flash a new kernel ??
+
before installing the ICS i want to backup the current ROM thats is Stock rom "company rom"
so i think i need to flash a kernel with cwm first then do a backup .. then flash ICS kernel then installing the ICS rom ??
Look at my guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625184

Root is not needed kernel is part of the firmware .
Flash a stock Samsung rom from Stock rom thread or from posted ICS roms in General via Odin .
Alternative wait for your phones upgrade via KIES or use Checkfus to download firmware .
Root is only required if you are flashing a custom firmware that requires CWM and Root and most do .
jje
After installing kies ,,, a frimware update show up ,,
now i think its better to update the frimeware throw kies right ??
and is it possible to install ics with kies ??? or i need to flash costume kernel with CWM recovery !!
thanks in advance
ok
personally I would look at Chainfire topic on easy rooting etc, or you could use SuperOneClickRoot & then install any number of custom roms from the I9100 android development section here at XDA

Ask your "mum" or your "little sister" to do it for you.
But they must remember how to unlock "your" phone.

A factory reset that could have been avoided by doing the account recovery procedure provided in the other thread.... But whatever. Enjoy your new phone.

You should learn how to concoct slightly more plausible lies - think of all the time you could have saved instead of frantically editing your other posts.
And when you're done, spelling lessons would be useful.

Most importantly, is your phone GT-i9300? Because S3 has various models and can not messed up the ROM
Actually, personally think the region code doesn't matter at all.

Be patient, it's not complicated as you thought. As matter of fact, I brought my Nexus S 18 months ago, then I immediate (like 20 minutes reading the thread and 10 minutes of preparation and operation ) unlocked bootloader and rooted it , I didn't even know "Android "before I got that phone!!!
if you mother language is not English, you can search some thread with your own language thread which should make it easier.
Just be patient reading these thread, don't be panic, this is not anything emergency, you have lots lots time doing this.

If you are in Greece this link will take you to Sammobile firmwares, make sure you do have i9300 international then download the lates version i9300XXELLA and flash it using Odin which you already have.
Make sure you understand how to flash via Odin by reading the Odin thread if you do it wrong you will just have an expensive brick

By flashing a kernel like siyah v6 b5+ via odin.
Thanks for the answers!
Now first of all, ExynosAbuse would be perfect but does that support 4.1.2?
Also what comes to sidyah, does that support phones that are sim-locked? If so, how can i get rid of the operator sim-lock and is this risky?
And for the last: if i root my phone, can i get official updates in the future from samsung? Cause i don't wanna mess with the style that i got in my jelly bean quite like it, just want to get superuser-access.
So the app that i'm searching for is one click root that supports updates in future for 4.1.2. Is it impossible?
Thanks!
I'm with theunderling here.
I've always flashed via Odin woithout any problems and it very quick too. If you do everything right, it shouldn't take more than a minute, dead serious. 1 minute. Okay maybe more, but maximum 2 according to me
Just download tar or md5 file. Open Odin. Put the file in PDA. Then start. (and make sure Re-Partition is NOT checked)
(Im not going to give you step by step instructions cause that is for you to find out But i've actually helped you out alot
Good luck, and post for further question. Just dont forget to search before.
*EDIT* Yea, siyah is one of the best kernels, and dont worry everythin should be the same. You can get siyah kernel from gokhanmoral.com
