So I have UKK6. The links here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285894 are broken. Entropy's updated links aren't one-click, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18065445&postcount=1.
What to do!? I cannot find a guide for Odin. The stickies are a confusing mess... Help!
Are you trying to get root access or are you trying to install a custom ROM?
If you are indeed rooting, try using the Hotfile link from the '2c' section of this thread by creepyncrawly. The 2c link leads to an Odin3 OneClick file, and is currently working. This is what I used and it has worked like a charm.
For installing the kernel after the rooting process, you'll wanna use Mobile Odin. They're different programs.
Be sure to bookmark that creepyncrawly thread -- it is a great guide and was singlehandedly responsible for giving me the security of mind I needed to take the plunge as a new user.

I advise you to reread the stickys until your confusion is reduced. Unless someone is going to come to your house to fix your phone, you might want to know what you're doing...

Here's a good tutorial that I found. It worked perfectly for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2KhSKpt4hs
How is an i777 with a i9100 bootscreen and warning triangle working "perfectly?"

see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
and also find the corresponding firmware to this kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
This is the easiest way to root, by flashing this kernel. all you have to do is boot into download mode once for the rom, and second time round for the kernel. job done.
Also don't post stuff like this in the development thread, people will flame you for not reading in the first place...
This might help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
Please read the sticky's as have guides follow them, its actually very simple via the link mentioned above, any questions ask in corresponding thread.
On that note thread closed.

Here you'll find all you need.
The process isn't kernel specific. If you look in the SGS2- Original Android development forum, you'll find stock and insecure kernels. You'll need one of those. Look for a post by Chainfire, or CF-root.
Edited: Better?

"stock insecure" after your link is ... yeah whatever.
Anyhow, it looks to be the first kernel listed in this post forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19013036&postcount=7. He'll want to read about voiding the warranty and the yellow triangle and so forth. I'm too lazy to find the links at the moment.
The forum search function should be more informative for those issues, DEREKTROTTER. There's a main sticky thread at the top of the sections that are also helpful.
Please search and read the stickys since hold valuable information.

It just shows the Samsung Galaxy S II logo with yellow triangle and exclamation then a black screen???? I still can go to Recovery and Downloading Mode.
It is GT-i9100 running 2.3.5 Gingerbread from Saudi Arabia.
Do a wipe/factory reset in Recovery.

Did that. No avail.
One thing that I could add to my statement. This is a brand new device. One day old. I did root it from these instructions
software2tech . com/2012/04/10/galaxy-s2-android-4-0-3-i9100dxlp7/ (remove spaces)
and after that this happened. Whenever I'm charging the phone it just shows a green battery meter with some dots on the bottom. Then if I turn it on again it will go back to a grey battery with a spinning circle and after that the usual green battery meter.
How should we know anything about a method from another site ? Ask on the site you got the method from.
Alternatively...
Look for a kernel that matches (or closest match) your current kernel that you can find in settings/about phone in the CFRoot thread & follow the instructions to root your phone. Read the thread very carefully, particularly the bit that says "Help! Which file do I use ?". I won't be answering any questions about which kernel you should use. Read the thread & you should be able to work that out for yourself.
Edit to add - Make absolutely sure you have an I9100 or an I9100T, check the sticker on the phone chassis under the battery.

It is def. an i9100. I'm gonna try the fix from the Fix an unflashable or softbricked GSII thread. Would you think that would work? I don't want to get rooted now because all of the problems it gave to me.
Silly boy. I used superoneclickroot to root mine, very easy. Or use cf root again very easy, word of advice tho- you wont get much help on here if you got a guide/root/rom from some other website. EVERYTHING you need can be found at xda. We have some of the top android devs in the world right here!!!

have you tried flashing any ROM from download mod through ODIN....
Could I re-root again with Superoneclickroot? This is an unbootable phone by the way. Though yes, I could still go to downloading mode and recovery mode.
I'm new to the Android rooting and crap. I've been used to iOS, Mac and Windows customization so everything is really hard and my mind is basically all nooby on Android.
@zaheedahmed - I'll go to factory Android ROM at this moment of time until I could resort all of the issues I have.
If you don't want to root, then go back to stock. Search this thread, if you can't find the stock rom you need there search this thread. Follow the guide in the 2nd one to flash the firmware. If the download links are dead, make a note of the firmware you want (even better if you know what firmware you have now/the firmware which came with the phone) and search Samfirmware.com for it. Follow whatever instructions they have for flashing firmware downloaded from their site.
That will give a you a 'clean slate'/back on stock.

Hmm. I just finished downloading the one on the fix unflashable GSII thread. Would that ROM work? Mine is an unbranded SGSII by the way.
No idea. Never read the thread. I threw you a few bones, up to you now.

Find it here. Read & follow the instructions carefully.
Hi, I'm sure I'm beeing a n00b but I had my phone rooted and I just updated to the latest firmware via KIES and now I have the Kernal Version XWLPI and I can't find any instructions that I understand on how to get rooted agian. When I had a different kernal version there were heaps of tutorials and now I'm not sure what to do.
Any help would be much appreciated. I have the NZ version of the phone.
Cheers
A Google search for your exact thread title ("How to root XWLPI") would have returned results that would work for you.
But here, I'm feeling generous. Go to the CF-root thread. There is an LPI kernel there, and instructions are in post 1.
If you don't want to replace the kernel, this works as well (and can be reversed quite easily!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
It is very simple, just involves copying 2 files to the (external!) SD-Card and following the instructions for CWM.

CF-root, instructions are there, just use your browsers search function (ctrl +f) to find the specific kernel.

Still can't get how to use Google, eh? You could have typed in "CF-root XWLPI XDA" and found it on the first page of results...
But that's ok. Seems someone found their spoon.

Swyped on my Galaxy 3
Can someone please help me step by step how to root S3 i9300 and install recovery and custom rom? Or can anyone link a good video tutorial?
Is it safe to use ROM manager to install a recovery? I know some years ago that program was not safe.

I knew someone would say that and I would say that myself to people if I was experienced, but I am asking because I want to be sure, the sticky threads and all that can be old information, there may be new versions out etc..
But okey, nvm guys I figure it out myself.
even being old the process remains the same... just folow the instructions in this link and you will be rooted
