Hi
I'm sure you get this a lot, but I really suck at this. Its my third week surfing these forums and I still can't put a step by step guide in my head on how to root it. A lot of the phrases are out of my understanding, so I'm going to ask and hope someone replies
Here's what I got : Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100. Android 4.0.3 , Kernel 3.0.15-I9100XXLPS-CL294511, Build number IML74K.XXLPS
The question is this : Can I root it with 1 click? Truly, without searching for some drivers and stuff I'm not sure I'll find.
Please be aware that I really suck at this, and that I'm basically rooting my phone for Market Enabler and to remove that thing that pops when you double tap center key, the voice command thing, drives me nuts.
Thank you and have a great day!

Use the XX_OXA_LPS CF-Root kernel to root. (find it by doing a "find on page" on the thread) Follow the instructions in post 1.
You will need Kies installed, but not running, for drivers. (or the standalone Samsung USB drivers) Both or either can be found easily with a Google search.
Hey,
Thank you for your quick reply! I do have Kies, as it came on the phones SD card
I will give this a go right now, thank you again for saving me moar weeks of search <3

?? Your phone's SD card?
You know I meant Kies to be installed on your PC, right?
Hey,
Yeah I know. When I purchased the phone I found Kies installation on the SD card, and installed it on the PC. Was the same with Desire HD, I found HTC Sync installation on the SD card. I thought it was normal

I didn't download it to check, but just watching the video, (at 3:02) the command window that pops up clearly says "Easy rooting toolkit (v2.0) created by DooMLoRD" up at the top, followed by "Modified by Max Lee @ GalaxyS2Root.com". (I believe Max Lee is zedomax, but I don't know for sure)
I don't know what this Max Lee fellow changed, but I'm willing to bet that the actual exploit used to gain root is exactly the same, yes.
Hey just a quick one
Where do I get odin? And how to put my phone in download mode? Is it power, home, and volume down?

That's because it doesn't matter if USB debugging is on or off for Odin flashes.

As the title states im looking to remove root info from my kernel version for warranty purposes, my phone shows -

I am not able to use usb for kies or S2 root but i can flash via ODIN and have flashed original rom/kernel to stock but the root info remains under kernel version , is there a way to remove?
Thanks in advance.
I'm sure I answered this very question yesterday ... oh, I did! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22163342#post22163342
That "root" just means that the user "root" compiled the kernel on the machine "DELL143", not that your phone is rooted.
Sorry, but this just has to be done

Just need to reset my flash counter and send it back then.

Seems either you cannot follow instructions or something .
Find your kernel match as near to a cwm kernel as per the instructions flash with Odin = rooted whats the problem .
Why do you want root when you are having extreme difficulty with the very basics and dont seem able to or want to read and understand anything at all .
Help! Which file do I use ?
Listen closely, for I will say zis only once!
Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. Note the string present there:
2.6.35.7-I9100XXKG1-CL349526
What matters most (KG1) in this case, is in bold. Try to find the matching file under downloads:
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG1-v4.1-CWM4.zip
The XX and OXA identifiers are not that important. Usually a "KG1" kernel is a "KG1" kernel, and that is that. Sometimes (pretty rare) it happens there will be multiple different kernels with the same name in different firmwares, that are actually different. If this happens, they are usually only very minor changes and you should expect them to still be fully compatible. I include the "XX" and "OXA" identifiers so the very advanced users can deduce from which full firmware I have taken the kernel file.
Don't worry too much, just find the matching download and use it. What if there is no matching download ?
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

I don't know why I'm bothering to respond to you considering your behaviour in this thread, but I'm just going to go out on a limb here and guess that you're not on K14 at all, and are in fact on KI4.
If that is indeed the case, the download links in JKay's thread work perfectly well for both the themes and the V13.1 settings APK.
I wish there was a "vote to ban" button, because you're a fidiot, and no that's not a typo. This community has no place for people like you.
Can't believe you made me sign in just to reply to this... But you sir are a total ****, People like you that can't understand simple instructions and follow rules and guidelines do not belong on this earth. Your IQ must be around 5 if that. Why you would even want to root your phone i don't know. Because anything from now onwards will be a little bit more complicated than simple rooting, (Installing a ROM etc.)
So please, do us all a favour and leave this forum, everything you could possibly need is in the search function.. But it sounds like you need a search function just to find the search function...

Allegedly??? LOLwut?
Read this:
In recent years it has become common for speakers to include allegedly in statements that are controversial or possibly even defamatory. The implication is that, by saying allegedly , the speaker is distancing himself or herself from the controversy and even protecting himself or herself from possible prosecution. However, the effect created may be deliberate. The use of allegedly can be a signal that, although the statement may seem outrageous, it is in fact true. Conversely, it is also possible to use allegedly as an expression of ironic scepticism.

Hi jithendra194,
if you already flashed the clockworkmode this could be the problem!
I know a friend who had to flash stockrecovery again, before rooting his device.
Rooting wasn't possible by using the clockworkmode, but with stock recovery rooting was successfully
So you can try flashing the stock recovery first (from here) and after it you should flash the upd_1.zip (from here)
Good luck

Then it's a matter of finding a kernel with a TAR that you're comfortable with and doing the above with that kernel rather than CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar although CF-Root is a fine stock insecure (rooted) kernel.
Personally, I rather like the Siyah kernel for which you can pick up the TAR file (you use TAR files with Odin) here
Consider donating a small amount to Gok if you have sufficient disposable income (same applies to anything you use long-term, IMHO).

Or someone who is nervous about breaking their expensive phone, knows that they have voided their warranty and hoped to find someone kind enough to hold their hand.
What I don't understand,@Theunderlying,is the motivation behind your post. If you don't wish to aid, why not just stay silent and avoid diminishing the reputation of the community. I hope it's not some reactionary neurosis because no one ever helped you early on forcing you to learn yourself with the aid of what has been discussed in the forums and that you don't like to see others degrading the purity of the forums now that you are better informed.

This is actually worse than what @Theunderlying posted.
The thing is, OP would not respond to useful questions and answers in his other thread, while he kept asking the same question here.
I guessed that was what pissed @Theunderlying off.
Personally i believe the OP is a little impatient, bit in a hurry and he probably doesn't need that because if anything bad should happen to his phone, he will only have himself to blame

first of all sorry if this is a repeated thread, very new to this site and no offense intended. please point me in the right direction if this is the case.
phone is very unresponsive with either a battery symbol (with circle inside - frozen) or galaxy s2 load up screen with triangle. I have previously rooted the phone with a litening rom through odin v 1.85. i was running a version of ICS on it and this morning i tried to upgrade to jellybean as a forum on this site had said it was possible. firstly in clockwork mod (holding power, vol up and home button) somewhere through the process of putting the file on the phone (instructions said to carry out the process through the clockwork mod) i have made a grave error. If I was able to get the phone to be recognised by the laptop I would be able to flash another stock kernel through odin to at least get me back functional and worry about tweaking later. Currently the phone won't recognise as a drive to the laptop though. Any advice people? Perhaps a suggestion also of a location of stock kernel for australian samsung galaxy s2 (using the virgin network).
That's just a soft brick, don't worry about it .
We got plenty of threads about phone not being recognized by PCs.

Hi (newb alert)
First of all thanks for all the info - followed the pistacchio thread to regenerate phone, that worked great. however, now once the phone is going again, repeatedly getting an overvoltage error message (did not have before) and the battery dying very quickly. I also cannot access the 3G network, but wifi is fine.
Can you recommend a course of action for this, not sure if i have flashed back to a complete stock rom or not, does that mean that the phone is still rooted? I would like to flash another rom if possible, but am not asking what one to use (have seen the rules of the site Sometimes the battery is even flashing . kernel version is 3.0.15-I9100XXLPH-CL118559 and build number is IML74K.XXLPH.
Any more info needed I am happy to provide. I was really happy with the slim ICS rom and would like to stick with that in the jellybean option if possible.
thanks
Go as stock as possible before going custom again.
See if issues persists.
Make sure you flash the right ROM for your device, noticed you're on I9100 ROM and you've only stated you own an "s II" , so, I cannot recommend any specific ROM because of the variants.
