you posted on the wrong section but ... never mind!
Anyway ...
1st - Download Odin 4.38
2nd - Download Cooper.ops
-------Both files are attached in the rar file below------------
3rd - Go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and search firmware for your s5830
Then choose the rom that suits you best
After the above steps are done open odin
At "option" select - "One Package, Auto-Reboot And Protect OPS"
At "select OPS" - choose "Cooper.ops" (The file you´ve downloaded)
At bottom is "One Package" - In here put the file of the room you´ve dowloaded
Finaly put phone in download mode (Vol. Down + Power Button) and connect it to your PC.
Wait for odin to recognize your phone, a yellow sign will light up, ( you need samsung kies in your computer so odin recognize your phone)
And then hit "Start"
Wait about five minutes at the end your phone should reboot by itself
And that should be it
One more thing kies cannot be runing wile you are flashing! shutdown all odin processes before flashing!

Hi everyone,
I made this thread because I wanted to make a guide of my own to update your Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100. I'm with Virgin Mobile, so I can confirm this work fine. You wont lose any of yours data, apps.
I experienced a better battery lifetime, better signal reception, gps, etc.
I put together many different guide to make things easier for new users.
All guides here are from XDA developers. I don't take any credits for them.
First you need Samsung Kies if you don't already have it. This is only to get the driver for your phone. Plug in your phone with usb cable and wait for the peripheral to get recognize.
After this close Kies and kill any process named Kies in your task manager.
download here
http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/m...softwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL
or french version
http://www.samsung.com/fr/kies/
Take your phone; hit parameter, applications, developement and check usb debog and fictitious position ( sorry my phone is in french not sure how its called in english, just check both option). You have to uncheck them if you want to transfer files on your phone like you do normally.
Now you need :

This package has: PDA: XWKK5| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2

The stock kernels are to be used to restore the kernel version after rooting and are not needed for updating the firmware.
You do not need to root or unroot the device to update the firmware.
Please ensure that KIES is closed and not running in the system tray! Kies doesn't like Odin, it's like the big brother who's always jealous that his little brother is getting to flash all the phones so he starts to flash block.
Flashing Firmware with Odin
1. Just download the firmware version you want from the second or third posts and extract the .tar or .tar.md5 file in the archive and save it somewhere
2. Reboot your phone to download mode.
To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key+ Home button + press the power button .
You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar or .tar.md5 file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Anyone ask about .pit file is a moron
Should look like this screenshot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Regardless of firmware version it's still the same methodology
6. Connect the USB cable and wait for the ID:COM section to turn yellow
7. Click start to flash
8. Do not disconnect the cable or turn off the device, it will reboot when it finishes.
It will not wipe your phone if you flash as recommended
You will lose root so just re-root with the guide below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Instructions - ODIN (long)
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)

Just flash the original kernel I linked.

Alternatively you can use a Jig as it also resets the custom Rom counter
Tips
Download Titanim Backup from the market once your phone is rooted. It backup everything and put back all yours apps, icones the way they were.
Get Juice defender and autokiller memory for you battery. It really work well. There's a cool feature where you can downclock your cpu at idle if its rooted.
You can get the original firmware from here (2.3.3)

If you need to put back your phone the way it was when you bought from the store.
Thats's all enjoy GingerBread 2.3.6.

How come you chose XWKK5? Would I be ok to use the XWLA4 firmware from Germany?
samsung galaxy s2 ICS upgrade
Hi
I am new to this game so bear with me. Originally I rooted my phone using odin and put on a rom called lite'ning v6.1 and it is using version gingerbread 2.3.4.
Now that ICS is out, I wish to upgrade to it.
Do I need to do things in this order:
1. remove the rom
2. unroot the phone
3. upgrade to ICS
4. reroot the phone with the old rom or maybe a new one.
tried with odin and it wouldn't work then read your article about kernels and the version i need, ie virgin australia has been removed from the link you put up.
please repost it or let me know where i can get it for free
thanks

That too!
this is en example that help u flash with odin. (Proceed at your own risk)
Step by Step Instructions:
Download the Android Firmware
Extract the downloaded file ‘I9100XXKL1_I9100OXAKL1.rar’ to get these 3 files:
CODE_I9100XXKL1_CL783870_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5
GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKL1.tar.md5
MODEM_I9100XXKL1_REV_02_CL1085162.tar.md5
Download Odin software
Disconnect your phone if it’s connected to PC. Switch Off your phone. Wait for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
Now, put the Galaxy S2 in Download Mode — press and hold these keys together: Volume_DOWN+Home+Power.
this is required to install the XXKG1 using Odin PC Software.
Open Odin (from step 3) — Odin3 v1.85.exe.
Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message “Added! !”
under the Odin’s message box in the bottom left. If you don’t get this message,
than probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve drivers installed.
Important! On Odin, Do NOT tick the ‘Re-Partition’ checkbox, but keep the ‘Auto Reboot’ & ‘F.
Reset Time’ checkboxes ticked. Do not touch any other checkbox or tab or anything, except as required in step 9 below.
Select these files in Odin at respective tabs (check out the screenshot given at the top for help):
Click the PDA Tab, and select CODE_I9100XXKL1_CL783870_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5 (from step 2.1)
Click the Phone Tab, and select MODEM_I9100XXKL1_REV_02_CL1085162.tar.md5 (from step 2.3)
Click the CSC Tab, and select GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKL1.tar.md5 (from step 2.2)
Now, hit the START button to let the process begin.
When process at Odin finishes your phone will automatically reboot —
and you can unplug the cable then.
Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin.
If it’s red and with FAIL written over it, the process flashing process wasn’t successful.
Using XDA Premium over Resurrection Remix ICS, the Best Rom ever made
I wanted to post how I rooted my Samsung YP-GB1 for those that are having trouble. My galaxy is the Korean version, 16gb, 2.3.6 stock firmware, and has the KRKPC kernel.
1). Check your kernel in the about device section. It should have KRKPC in the title. Then go here to download the modified stock kernel:
(pspmaster.tistory.com/120)(your looking for build 39 at the bottom of the page).
2). Make sure the system drivers are installed, by simply connectiong to kies. Kies will install the drivers automatically when you connect your device to it. then make sure kies is closed before continuing.
3). Download odin3 and unzip and run program.
4). Make sure "Auto Reboot & "F.Reset Time" are checked. Check the box next to "PDA" and click the "PDA" button. This will allow you to locate the new downloaded kernel on you computer and load it!
5). Now before connecting your galaxy to your computer put it in download mode first. Hold the power, volume down, and home button at the same time. Once you see the downloading screen connect your device to your computer.
6). Once your device is connected, you will see a yellow box appear in the first "ID:Com" box in the odin software. You are now ready to click start!
7). Click start and let it do it's magic. The galaxy will reboot automatically after lots of text appear on the screen.
8). Then go to the "play Store" and download the "Tegrak Kernel" app. Open and scroll down to "enable rooting." Allow superuser permission and your done!
I would recommend if your new to this going to youtube and searching for "how to flash a kernel" and watch some tutorials before trying. Also, thanks to Tegrak and the developers who put so much time into making our android experience just that much better!!
Please remember I am not a developer and am not resposible if you mess your device up! I searched the forum for quite some time and asked questions before trying this, so please do the same if you feel reluctant to try!
This is tegrak's blog

I am very keen to root my Korean yp-gb1 32Gb device.
I would try the method suggested by the OP but in 'About device' and under 'Build number' it says "GINGERBREAD.KRKPH", which is different from the one stated.
My 'Firmware version' is 2.3.6 and the 'Kernel version' is 2.6.35.7.
I unsuccessfully tried 'superoneclick' and 'DoomLoRD's rooting programs. Then I learnt somewhere in the forums that the kernel needed flashing before this device could be rooted.
Would it be safe to try the procedure that this thread is dedicated to?
Can I get some help please?
question
may Kernel is KRKPH how can i root it
can anyone please tell me how to root galaxy s3
i am new to samsung as this is my first samsung device and i just got it today!!!

How to install using: (desktop) ODIN
Short: unpack the ZIP download, you will end up with a TAR, flash this in ODIN as PDA, and optionally install and run Triangle Away afterwards to reset the flash counter. Beware that this should boot your device into recovery mode (for a few seconds to install SuperSU and CWM Manager) after flashing. Sometimes it doesn't, just flash it again in that case.
Long:
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached Odin3-vX.X.zip file
- Download and unzip the CF-Root-SGS3-vX.X.zip file (see posts below this one)
- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-SGS3-vX.X.tar
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold volume-down + home + power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for Android to boot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)

Richdog is absolutely right.
Search wouldn't be filled with that **** if people searched instead of posting this ****.
No offence OP, using this guys words to help us build up a rapport.
Search is free and very useful, and it'll prevent you getting flamed next time you ask a question if you have searched and couldn't find a suitable answer and your thread starts with "I tried searching but..."
Glad you found what you needed and rooted your device. Oh, and welcome to hell....I mean xda...

I actually used the search and found the right stuff (I think), but now that I have a problem with rooting, I have to get 10 posts to post in thread first.
So I might as well abuse this little thread for it:
In stead of the above mentioned thread I used this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
Is that a proper way of rooting or should I use the other thread? Either way, the tool from the thread I just linked doesn't see my phone. I've tried on both win7 and xp machines and it just doesn't see it. The phone is recognized fine by windows, just not by the tool. So, what to do?

whatever is this method, go for the first (chainfire) this developer is well known for his Cfroot, it's already running on my Samsung galaxy tab and millions of other phones around the world, just follow the instructions (the long one and it's ok if you take more than 30 second just to make sure you didn't forget anything)

I will never apologise or back down from politely asking people if they have done a basic search before asking basic question, which has obviously been asked on here a hundred, maybe even a thousand times. It is other peoples time that is being used to get an answer, and I personally only think thats acceptable if you have really had a look yourself first and genuinely can't find the answer.
The video from XDA sums it up more amusingly and eloquently than I can.
