Congrats, now you can enjoy SGS2's real power........
If you are into battery life, I can recommend NeatRom XWLPY, I am using it and it performs really stable with great battery life.
Enjoy!

Hi: having searched, I can't seem to find either a secure or an insecure kernel: looking for BVKH2 - which I guess is quite new since I've just got my handset.
Any other sources that anybody might know of please?

Correct root file for KI9 kernel
Hello everybody,
I updated my firmware version trough Kies today, from KF3 to KI9.
As I wanted to root my S2 in order to install MIUI, i searched for the KI9 kernel at Chainfire's thread, but didn't find the corresponding file.
I searched the forum and came up with this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...75278&page=708
Unfortunately I can not reply on an developers section of the forum, so i thought this was the best place to ask it:
Which kernel should I use in order to correctly root my phone ?
Many thanks

Your link is bad. Has the ellipses in the URL, so it doesn't link to anything.
I can't find a KI9 firmware for the GT-I9100. What is your full model information?
EDIT: I think I see - XWKI9 looks like it is a carrier branded firmware for Belgium, which is why I didn't find it initially. See this post. (which I found REALLY easily with a Google search)
KI9 kernel
Sorry for the bad link, the thread is called : "[ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH, KI, KJ, KK1/2/5, KL1/2/3, LA2 Download" , and the particular post is from "Crucio_".
My full model information is :
Model : GT-I9100
Android-version: 2.3.5
Baseband-version : I9100XXKI4
Kernel-version : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI9-CL630390 [email protected] #2
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XWKI9
Thx for the quick response
EDIT: The link you reffered to is actualy the same thread I wrote in this post . I just would like confirmation about the KI4 kernel being compatible with the KI9 version.

EDIT: ah. That post I linked is the one you attempted to link.
So long story short, you need the same kernel HeavyLaws needed, the KI4 kernel.
I think i understand
I don't want to keep rambling about this, but I would like to understand how this works.
I noticed that the Baseband-version also ends on KI4, is this of any relevance?
So i guess if you have time, i would like the long story
Thx again
EDIT: doesn't HeavyLaws need the KF4 kernel instead of the KI4 kernel?

Re: HeavyLaws - whoops! You're right. He needs KF4. You need KI4. Sorry about that!
So long story isn't really that long actually. From what I understand, Proximus just took XWKI4, branded it, added their tweaks, and re-versioned it as XWKI9. There are probably more details than that, but I don't really know all of them.
KI9 kernel
I get it
So in theorie, flashing the KI4 kernel should't give any problems cause it's basically the same kernel as the KI9 with some minor tweaks?
Just want to be sure that i won't jam my phone by using this kernel .
Thx for the answers man, I appreciate it

Pretty much, but you can just flash the KI9 kernel back after you get root if you want. Stock KI9 kernel is on this page, just search for the term "XWKI9 Stock Kernel". This will also have the effect of getting rid of the yellow triangle when rebooting the phone.
Hi all,
I want to flash the VillianRom, but I'm not sure if I'm able to use it. I'm using this stock firmware:
PDA:CEKI2
PHONE: XXKI1
Android 2.3.4
XEN (Netherlands)
I think I've to use the VillianRom 2.5, with the 2.3.4 base. It states XXKI4 though, so my question is if I can use it with my XXKI1?
Cheers
Yes you can, the firmware your phone comes with doesnt effect the rom, the version number listed for Villian rom just means which stock rom its based on, in this case VR2.5 is using 2.3.4 KI4.
You can flash VR3 which is 2.3.5 KI3 (yes samsung have stupid version numbers).
Dont worry about what you are starting with, but you will want to wipe data/cache so make sure to backup anything you dont want to lose first.
Thanks for the explantion! Didn't see any real requirement notifications in the villian rom thread, so thought better to ask first Nice to know it doesn't matter!
You can use KI1 or KI3..i choose KI3 to be honest i am getting better signals and wifi is stronger...

Hi,
I'm new on these forums so apologies in advance if I get things wrong.
I received my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 on 2.3.4 with XXKI1 from Vodafone on Saturday, I have been getting used to using it after I switched from a *spit* iPhone 4.
Life story over, what I wanted to say was;
Since this is my first time using Android, I wanted to root my device and I was wondering what would be the best ROM to use, I was looking around on the forums and Villain ROM seems to be pretty good, so what file would I need to download? I have ODIN on my downloaded at the moment. And also and when Matriak31 said "You can use KI1 or KI3" what does this exactly mean? Because he then goes on to talk about the Wifi signal being stronger and I notice that my wifi has been pretty weak compared to my old phone.
Thank you very much

You need to read the VR rom instructions they give the files .

One signal meter not very accurate two modems are interchangeable some rate KI1 modem as best .

Hi Buneetg, ki1 ki3 are two of the available modems (=baseband) you can try.
To root your phone you can start by checking the link at post #8.
Then you can get the link to download VillainRom here (post #3).
But, seriously, if you don't know what file you have to download you probably should have a look first around the many guides and whatnot that have been posted here about root, roms, kernels, etc. imo.good luck.
Thank you I appreciate the help

Just rooted my SGS2 using the DooMLORD easy rooting application.
Superb piece of software.
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 ( Indian ) in a flat 4minutes. I was very nervous in rooting the phone having bricked my Samsung i780 in flashing custom ROM and having sent my Omnia i900 nearly to death flashing a custom ROM .... but then the thrill of rooting and modifying the device got better of me and I did it in a flat record time of 4 minutes.
The option of unrooting is an added benefit.

To root an I9100G, flash with the rom from here:

In the first post, search for I9100G. There are two version, DZKI1 and ZCKH4. Flash the one matching your firmware. However, only the KH4 one has clockworkmod recovery. The KI1 one only has the standard recovery. If you want clockworkmod with KI1 kernel, you can use my kernel from here:

Paulius, hes on gingerbread. He'd have to dig deep before finding a gb compatible siyah kernel version.
That being said, its better to upgrade to ICS from GB before flashing a custom kernel, merely for the sheer amount of dev support now available for ICS/JB. But to each their own..
