Guys, guys, guys..
Well hello there,
Basically I'm such a 'noob' at all this stuff basically, I used to be brilliant with all the hacking stuff but this new technology has got ahead of me.
So basically I really need a lot of advice...
My Samsung Galaxy 2 Info:
Model No: GT-I9100
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband Version: I9100XXKI1
Kernal Version: [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4
Basically, I'm new to this phone, only just got it, been very anxious around rooting my phone so finally built the courage to eventually do it.
So what i'm asking is if any of you could give me some help/advice on how to root my phone.
I would love for someone to be able to guide me through the process step-by-step including all the programs/links etc please, I know that I'm no doubt such a pest for asking.
Also would someone be able to explain all these strange terms to me as well, IE whats a ROM etc, and what different ones do etc, please?
Also could someone tell me what NOT to do when my phone has been rooted please to stop it getting bricked or whatever.
Thank you lot in advance,
Sincerely
~Aaron

i want to know is what to use to root my sgs2
some utility apps need your phone to be rooted, and you can do anything with your system files. if you want to root it, just use CF-Root made by chanfire, but dont forget to use the one for 9100G, it wont work if you use the 9100 one.
it doesnt work much to your battery if u only root your phone, my advice is just upgrade your ROM to ICS and use some custom kernel, pick one with better performance.
good luck
ok i will do that but i dont know how to use what software and what not??? how will i know what is best for me?? i am totally noob plz help

Android Version: 4.0.3
Basbandsversion: I9100XXLPX
Basic Version :3.0.15-I9100XWLPG-CL619441 dpi @ DELL150 # 3 Kompileringsnummer: IML74K.XWLPG
You mean you want the original rom which came with your phone ? Search here or Samfirmware.com. If I've misunderstood you, pls clarify what you mean/what you're looking for.

Hi again
I have one more question, how do I know wisch too choose on that side ?(http://androidfirmwares.net/)
OK. According to this thread, first lot of firmware for Sweden was XWKE1. Is this absolutely definitely the firmware that came with your phone ? We can't be 100% sure unless you know definitely yourself (maybe you made a note of it) or maybe your carrier/whomever you bought the phone from can tell you what firmware was on the phone originally.
hello folks,
right, have got hold of a new/newish S2, and i want to root / debrand it and put a new ics firmware on it (latest poss).
my only prob is as a noob on this site, i have no idea which unsecure and secure ones i should use (theres so many!)
would anyone be kind enough to link me to each one please?
i dont need help with the actual boot/loading as ive watched the vids and am ready to have a go. just not sure which kernals to use (sorry)

If you're this ignorant about all this smartphone and rooting stuff, don't start to mess with your phone. Leave it like this.
If you still want to, start reading and learning to make sure you can do it by yourself, so you know what can go wrong and how to deal with it.
