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

Some GT-I9100G Questions

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 .

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:

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 !

but u can always re-root ur phone, with various option available though

BVLPD is ur current firmware, while BVLPB is ur Baseband/Modem/Radio. so u can upgrade to the latest build one thats BVLPH
From the moment you root a device ..or even worse ....root & install a custom rom & kernel ...Samsung doesnt even know the device exists anymore ...so of course Kies won't work ...that's what the Yellow Warning at boot up ..is all about
Its basically alerting you .....your warranty is now void ...no more support from Samsung ....your actions can change system files ...in return damage the OS so bad that it can never recover ....only sending the device back to Samsung or other official service center may fix it ...but no guarantee ....etc .....& you need to unroot... before you can do that ....
but if the device crashes & won't recover because the OS has been damaged ...then you will never be able to unroot ...
Root is the ability to alter the OS ....SuperUser Access "Administrator "
No Root ....basically Samsung is the SU or Admin

u can use 'Siyah Kernel' to root back ur phone, or any other rooting method which u can search for
thabks for information, i hope don.t break the phone again)
orry this might be abit late ....but goto TSAR3000.com ....there they have every official firmware & software you could imagine for Samsung ....
its really cool that they even have all the schematics for hardware replacement ..hardware upgrades ...ect ....for most Samsung devices
