Use Odin to flash speed mod kernel. Place it in the PDA and flash. You can download it from his thread here on xda. Just search Google.
Steps:
1. Download the kernel
2. Put phone in download mode (down volume, home and power)
3. Open Odin and click PDA and then find the speedmod kernel found here ( http://vln01.helochat.com/tourist/speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-21-Odin.tar )
4. Flash!!

ok you've lost me the unsecure kernal i used was the xwkl1, was that the wrong one and i should overwrite it with another, is that what you mean?
ok i have done as you suggested and flashed the file with odin, but it still won't connect to s2root??

just put that in pda in odin and flash
thats how i did it, its already rooted and has CWM then flash whatever rom or kernel you want if you want (that one's out dated now)
and the kernel the guy above said will be already rooted aswell so no need to use s2root

That files you flashed has root in it. Once flashed your all rooted. Speedmod is better than nemphetamine kernel

Hi, I'm pretty new to this too.
Just wondering, I used "GT-I9100_XWKI8_insecure.tar" to flash my Galaxy SII, then s2root. I get superuser, but I can't find CWM.
Can I use this kernel you guys posted as well? Or is it for his specific phone?
I'm really having problems getting CWM, and I'm scared of trying stuff before getting a backup.
So if installing that kernel installs CWM as well, and works for my model too, then I'm going for it.
Thanks.
hi, i have just recently got another galaxy s2 after nicely cracking the screen on my old one :S the stats are as follows
galaxy s2

i downloaded and flashed the closes kernal which was xxlp6 (this was the closest) and now it seems stuck in the start up screen, odin flashes it successfully and it starts to reboot but all i have on screen is samsung galaxys11 with yellow triangle and it just hangs there and won't go any further, i followed the instructions to the letter so i don't know whats gone wrong, i found this thread and i have found and downloaded the speedmod kernal and tried to flash that over using odin, again it says successfull but will not go past the loading screen, please help i don't know what to do or what i could have possibly done wrong
thanks in advance, emma

So I tried to use odin to root my device. I was following a guide on youtube but XDA won't let me post it. I got to where I run odin while my phone is in download mode. Everything goes according to the video, however, when the phone reboots it freezes at the Samsung splash screen with the yellow ! at the bottom. I've tried putting the phone back in download mode and running it through Odin again but the problem is not fixed. Does anyone know how I would go about fixing this?
Try restocking. If you repartitioned you may be in trouble. Go to cm7 website and follow their instructions.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I made sure the repartition option wasn't selected before I ran odin in both cases. I'm assuming by CM7 you mean cyanogenmod? Sorry for the ignorance, I just want to make sure I'm doing what I need to to get it back in working condition
Dont know why should you go to cm7 website.
Follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
use an appropriate kernel for your phone.

I've got no idea what boxhead72 is going on about, but anyway, to be able to help you, we need to know what you've done. Generally, you need to make sure you're flashing a correct ROM/kernel/modem for your device. You also might need to reset to factory settings. But without knowing what you've done, it's impossible to say.
You can find stock ROMs and a guide for I9100 (if that is your phone's model) in Intratech's thread here: [ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH1/2/3/4, KI1/2/3/4/8, KJ1/2 Download.
On the plus side, if you can get to the boot screen, you are far better off than those who get NOTHING. I know it doesn't make you feel that good right now, but if you can get this far, your chances of recovery (if you follow instructions) are near 100%.
If you told us that you get no response at all from the phone when the power button was pressed, you might have room to worry a bit.
Now, not so much. Just take a minute to breathe and read through your steps as outlined in the above mentioned threads. You'll be fine in all likelihood.
Okay, I did some more searching and realized I was on the completely wrong forum... I have the AT&T U.S. I777 Galaxy S2. So exactly what I did was install kies, close out of it, put my phone into download mode, connect it to my computer, install what I assume was an incorrect .tar file using Odin while it was in download mode, let it reboot and am now seeing it hang at the boots screen with the yellow exclamation mark. I wouldn't mind reformatting it if someone could show me how, but I mainly want to use this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285894
to root it and install CM7. Could I just run odin again and install the .tar file given in these instructions? Or does it not quite work like that? Thanks for all the help you guys are giving by the way!

I don't know anything about that phone, but a quick look in those forums shows:

Thanks for those, I was actually reading through them when I noticed you posted them. I have another problem now though, I ran the stock rom through odin in this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
but it failed in Odin and upon reboot it says firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. I didn't know kies had a recovery mode, but when I connect my phone it always fails to connect. Note that I CAN still get into the download menu, but that's it. At this point is there anything else I can do?

I presume Kies recovery mode is in Kies -> Tools -> Emergency firmware recovery.
I noticed that as well but like I said I cannot connect to Kies so any recovery mode isn't very helpful

I guess if you've done everything on [Guide] How to Prepare Your Phone to Return to the Store or for Warranty Replacement (which is linked at the bottom of the thread I linked earlier), then your next port of call should be Recovering an ATT Galaxy S2 after flashing GT-I9100 Firmware.
So I have a stock unbranded i9100 that I'm just starting to play with. I roited it yesterday using Superoneclick, which went fine. I then tried to download a new kernel onto it to install clockworkmod recovery.,The phone goes into download mode just fine, anf yes I do press vol up to confirm. Odin and heimdall even find the phone and start the diwnload pricess, but heimdall doesnt progress beyond 0% and Odin freezes at zImage. Kies also cannot successfully update the firmware. Ive tried in an xp computer, a win 7 computer and a mac, no luck on any if them. The phone still works fine after I take the battery out. Help! What am I doing wrong?

1) uninstall KIES
2) Download drivers (copy in my 4shared, see link in sig, 4icon)
3) install driver
4) try flashing
If that doesnt work try
1) Changing USB ports
2) Changing USB cables
3) Try a different PC.
Thanks for sharing the drivers but still no luck.
I guess I'll order a new USB cable and see if that helps. Is it likely to - the cable transfers data ok otherwise, its just in download mode?

I found the cable that came with the phone to be awful and rather unreliable. YMMV of cause.
And its just a few things that might be causing the problem, no guarantees its the problem.

looks too much mess up and you took wrong step in panic..
You should not have flashed a Kernel to get rid of bricked screen (phone!PC), you have to get download mod and falsh complete ROM that time...
you told your Running ROM was 2.3.6 but KI3 is an old version...

You say you dont have Kies. Download kies. Run it and it will install the drivers. Close Kies. Make sure its not running in the background. Install your original firmware that came with the phone using Odin. If your in download mode, your not bricked.

Hi all,
My main objective, in the end, is to install CM9 on my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G because i heard its the best and its really fast. Also, i am done waiting for ICS to be pushed through kies.
So first step is rooting my phone. I tried twice and twice i failed. The first time when i flashed a kernel via odin, it rebooted my phone and i didn't have Superuser. The second time i did that with a different kernel, my screen kept getting stuck at booting page where it was written "Samsung Galaxy s2" and below it a yellow exclamation mark. So i flashed my phone once again with my old 2.3.6 android pda and now its back to normal. I found out it was the wrong kernel i was flashing.
So now i want professional help. I searched the forum, i couldn't find anything.
I want to root my phone. I want to install ICS CM9 on it.

Also if i take my phone for servicing, can they find out in any way that i rooted by phone (even if i unroot it before taking it there)?

didn't work for me and that's why i had to flash a kernel
That problem of the yellow exclamation on my screen i solved. I simply put my phone on download mode and flashed a 2.3.6 android pda and my phone rebooted fine.
My question is how do i root my phone? Dont give me short forms n stuff, i want a proper tutorial. I dont want to mess up this time. Gimme the download link of the kernel that will suit my phone specifications in order to root my phone! I have flashed the wrong one twice and i am scared of my phone getting bricked if i experiment anymore. I want an expert here on XDA to give me a 100% compatible link that will let me root my phone.
Also , i want to install CM9 ICS on my phone also, so if anyone could link me to that too (which i will do after i root my phone), it would be nice. Otherwise, simply telling me how to root my phone, and what to download for it, would be fine too.
Appreciated.

settings ON PC:
first download odin,then go to odin and click on PDA then select the kernel file in tar/zip/.md5 extension,at the left side(of odin) check AUTO REBOOT and F. RESET TIME, dont check anything any else or you might get in trouble,now click on start and will say pass after some time and you are done,phone will reboot with kernel.

ok first of all cm9 is not available for i9100g (your device),and if you give your phone is gone for servicing while it is rooted then it will be against warranty so unroot it first,and to root it you can flash an rooted kernel link is here :
http://www.mediafire.com/?0nmccnoly0ioqx3
its cranium kernel
Guys, is there any chance of rooting the phone without flash with odin or from the mobile odin?
Serve unlock root for ICS 4.0.3?
From already thank you very much.
PS: Sorry for my English is not very good
Look at the PhilZ-CWM6 custom kernel. It can be flashed in stock recovery and includes SuperSU, root, ClockworkMod Recovery and Busybox.
It is pure stock based, and doesn't have MMC brickbug.
Thanks for responding! But there would be some way that only makes you root, without installing a modified kernel and without CWM? is that I want nothing more root access

You're wrong pal, using the first method will only root your phone, no cwm nor custom kernel. its a single file u flash through stock recovery that gives you root and busybox, nothing else.
Thanks friend! Now I see it, I do not set it up yet because there is no custom rom, just want root : D

Try flashing a custom kernel through Odin on your PC. Plenty of guides on here and Google. That way you can flash cm through recovery. Keep an eye out for the kernel bug related to 4.0.4. Again lots of documentation on that too.

Thanks and one more thing, Is there any risk of getting my phone bricked during rooting part only? I mean we are not installing a firmware so why would the phone get bricked!

There is ALWAYS a risk when doing anything to your device. The level of risk is down to what you are doing and what state the battery is in etc.
As long at the rooted kernel you are flashing is compatible with the current firmware then all SHOULD be fine.

ExynosExploit by chainfire can root it. Has got a dangerous tag attached to it tho.
Stuck in bootloop
Hi,
So, this is what happened
I have a galaxy SII gt-i9100, About 5 months ago I rooted it and installed the galaxy nexus update to android 4.0.4. and everything was ok except it wasn't showing me the option to transfer via blue tooth (but that didn't bother me much). These were the things I used
1. GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.1.4
2. Odin3 v1.83
3. GT-I9100_XWKI8_insecure
4. GT-I9100_XWKI8_original
Now, yesterday I a friend had galaxy S II i9100P and he updated the firmware using kies and it had working blue tooth. I thought ok let's change it to that and my blue tooth might work also. I was at work and I (in a hurry) tried rooting it with only Odin. No backup, No Clockwork :laugh: nothing. ( and "Now it's stuck at the startup screen. I can go to download mode and recovery mode but it has samusg recovery not clockwork. I don't know what to do and in need of help. I'd really appreciate a quick response. (hoping to get atleast the mass data back )
These were the only 2 things used.
1. Odin3 v1.83
2. I9100JPLPH_I9100OJPLPF_PAK

ok, the galaxy nexus update? you mean Jelly Bean or Supernexus / chamaleon?
I think that you've installed a stock ROM over a custom ROM and that's why you are stucked at the logo.
read a little bit about flashing because you are up for it.
Learn about SD card data when flashing and follow a tutorial to flash stock ICS 4.0.3 via odin thru Download mode.
Also make sure to flash a safe kernel so you wont get the brick bug (see warning post sticked in the general section).
I don't know what to put here...any ideas?
fixed.Thanks
