Do it at your own risk. I bricked a T-Mobile version of the original Galaxy S because the manufacturer changed certain settings that made the phone I was using a work slightly differently than phones people were rooting at that time. It was documented at the time on some S related wiki on rooting the device, but I can't find it now. Perhaps the community worked around it at some later point.
If you are new to this stuff, in my opinion best thing to begin with is Cyanogenmod(.com). Find CM7.1 there for your device, the wiki will explain the process. Very little chance of getting a problem and if it happens, the community can sure help you out.

Hi All,
YES I did do a search (actually several searches)
and YES I did do a bit of reading before deciding to post this.
Things I'd like to accomplish by rooting:
1.) Get rid of T-Mobile junk (and there's a LOT of it!)
2.) Install Arabic support (haven't figured out how to do that yet)
3.) MAYBE overclock (haven't figured out how to do that yet)
I would like to root this T-Mobile (U.S) version of the SG2. However, none of the posts seem to match the kernel number, firmware, or even model number as listed on the phone (see below)!
In order to avoid bricking the phone, I wanted to see if someone has managed to do this, and if s/he can direct me to the correct method/post to do this.
Here's what "About Phone" lists:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Model Number: SGH-T989
Android version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: T989UVKID
Kernel version: 2.6.35.11 (no letters after the number!)
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UVKID
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can someone please help idetify which recovery, kernel, and (if applicable) ROM I should be using?
Thanx

I am new to the Android scene (previously I had Iphones) and I recently bought a Galaxy S2.
I am having some problems where my phone is utilizing my data plan without my knowledge.
I have read that one of the culprit aps is Ap Mobile and the only way to remove it is by first rooting the phone.
I have read a lot of treads and it is still confusing with all the different kernels, basebands etc…
I have 2 questions requests:
1- My phone has Model number: GT-I9100, Android version: 2.3.3 (updated by KIES yesterday), Baseband version: I9100XXKG5, Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100JPKH1-CL453266 [email protected]#2, Build number: GINGERBREAD.JPKH1
I would be very grateful if somebody could post clear instructions as to how to root the phone.
2- there are so many different Kernels, and some of them show android version 2.3.4 or 2.3.5. Can I update to the Firmwares\Kernels from my phone, if so, how?
I shall thank in advance anyone who are willing to help me with my questions
this thread is for updating your firmware and rooting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
if you use data for a specific time like me
P.S you can turn off data settings>wireless and network>mobile networks
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I want to have data on all the time because I have my work mail setup.
My data plan is 250 Mb and I only utilize it to access my work mail, it was never an issue on the Iphone, but on the galaxy my data plan was used in a couple of days.

Hi there (topic should say GT-i9100G)
Been searching for days to find a way to root my GT-i9100G model. I found plenty for previous builds of my kernel but nothing for this current one.
So I'm at the end of my wits and for the first time in years I'm turning to creating a thread on a forum, getting ready for the flame.
kernel: 2.6.35.7 DELL165 dpi @ # 2
Android version: 2.3.6
Build number is: GINGERBREAD.XXLA1
Baseband version: I9100GXXKL4
I had a i900 from work but after it broke my work phone was replaced with this model and I'm sick of not being able to run ICS on it.
Anyways, wanna get CWM on it, but I'm very green at the whole custom ROM scene, only thing I ever rooted was my 10.1 tab with Odin to flash AOKP's builds :\
Anyways, if anyone has any tip, don't be shy.

You DID mean GT-i9100G, right?
Need to know more, anyways. Build number?
Use super one click
Yes of course, silly me, GT-i9100G is my phone.
Build number is: GINGERBREAD.XXLA1
Baseband version: I9100GXXKL4
I've read others talk about super one click, the reports were very mixed and I think this build will not work, or am I wrong?

I believe SuperOneClick requires an insecure kernel to be flashed to your phone first before using it, right? You just have to make sure the insecure kernel is for the I9100G, and not the I9100. And if you cannot find an exact match for your kernel version for an insecure kernel, you will need a copy of your secure kernel to flash back when you're done rooting.
I'm afraid I don't know where to get these things for an I9100G, however, so you're on your own to look for them. (unless someone who knows this information sees this post and is kind enough to post it to you)
EDIT to add: that said, I've heard of a few custom kernels for the I9100G that, when flashed, will root your phone for you. I don't remember what they are though, you'll have to search for them.
EDIT 2: Found one (superatmos) that has a version compatible with your build.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 I-9100M originally purchased from Bell. I rooted the phone using Odin. That was my first time rooting and I must admit, I kind of took blind faith in the instructions without actually taking the time to understand what's going on. In any case, everything has been working fine (except the GPS lock takes forever).
However, I would really like to see some improvements in battery life... and I heard that Gingerbread v2.3.6 has improvements from previous versions. I don't want to go to ICS because I've heard it's slow, etc. Below are the details from my phone:
Android version: 2.3.3
Basebad version: I9100MUGKG2
Kernel version: [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UGKG2
Can anyone help me understand the above? Since the kernel version says 2.6.3, does that mean I am already on it? Eventhough the OS version says 2.3.3? Sorry if that's a totally ignorant question...
Hi Im new to this forum but I hope people will still help me
Well, like the title says, i got a korean galaxy s II rooted with tegrak kernel. I rooted by flashing siyah kernel first, but because the phone did not boot, i flashed tegrak kernel after that. Now, i havent really seen any confirmation for custom roms to work on the tegrak kernel and i dont want to risk to brick my phone... so..does anyone actually know if its possible and if yes, does the person also know HOW to do it? I searched for it in the internet but i didnt find anything..(i should mention that im not too good at korean..so i couldnt search for it on korean :0)
Model number: SHW-M250K
Android version: 4.0.3

Kernel version: 3.0.15-M250K.UE18.1730-CL577819s[email protected] #3
