Hi everyone,
My phone details:
Samsung Galaxy S2
Model GT-I9100G
Android Version 2.3.6
Build: gingerbread.XWKJ2
Kernel 2.6.35.7
I tried to root my phone before using odin 1.85 but guess I flashed the wrong kernel and got stuck in boot loop. I am not sure if I can root it by Doomlord rooting kit has anyone tried it on the "G" make?
Is there any other way to root because I have been searching a lot and most people could not root it by flashing kernels?

Kernel for XWKJ2?
The three kernels are for :
XXLA1
JPKK1
DZKL3
Not sure if to risk using one of them to flash XWKJ2 will work.

NB: Am new on Android device.
NB: is it possible to get the original rom by unrooting my sgs 2 by doomlord unrooting toolkit ?
Learn how to use Odin
get ROM from checkfus downloader or sammobile.com
Pick lp7 ROM skip lp9.
You can flash any ROM if you got i9100, say UK lp7.
Flash using Odin.

Thanks for reply,
I know how to use odin but the problem is lot of fermware and other information like baseband here is where I get confused.
So i dont know which fermware I should use provide I stay in Tanzania.

Doesn't matter were you are...
Get a whole package and flash.
Lp7 UK ics
Dxlp9 Singapore ics
Both stock roms work fine. Personally I say go for lp7 UK.
After that learn how to use cfroot kernel to get root access.

Thanks for that.
Can you give me that link for lp7.
I salute you.

Gday,
Basically I've been reading through countless threads throughout the site involving flashing my Samsung Galaxy S2, I've came up with a very rough idea on how I'm going to do this and I am very sure I've got it under control but I've made this thread just to make sure I'm not going to ''brick'' me phone and and because I'm a noob.........
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2
Model Number: GT-19100T
Baseband Version: 19100TDULP4
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-19100TDULPB-CL710191
Build Number: IML7.DULPB
I do live in Australia and my Galaxy S2 was locked to the Carrier VODAPHONE but its been unlocked and now uses a TELSTRA sim....
Now my question I believe my phone is all stock and Ive chose the custom firmware I'm interested in using
[ROM][JB:CM10:HYBRD] PARANOIDANDROID [2.13,True HybridMode, Size&UI on PerAppBasis]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619582
So for me to be able instal this firmware i need to root my phone ? to put a custom kernel on it?
Ive searched through the forums and haven't really worked out what kernel I need?
Is this what i need to use to install the firmware I chose ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&page=617
Hhahaha
I know how to go bout instal the firmware its just the making the phone to let me is the problem????
Any help would be great!!!
And suggestions, i did think that maybe my model could not instal that firmware?
READ READ READ! there is no shortcut... but this is what I did...
READ READ READ! there is no shortcut... but this is what I did...
went Voda 2.3.3 to Telstra ICS using Checkfus to get .tar/.md5. Got sick of that, rooted with CWM. Then went NeatRom which has Siyah kernel. Crap data speeds, so pulled out modem from Telstra ICS rom (modem.bin), put that in which fixed data speeds... chucked CRT-off mod on for the hell of it.
1. You need to root your device first.
2. Then flash a custom kernel
3. Backup your present ROM
4. Download ParanoidAndroid and Gapps
5. Backup your important data
6. Flash ParanoidAndroid.
Done.
If you have any questions, let me know

the things you should always care about when downloading and flashing are:
1. Your phone model NO. Is it compatible with my phone? This is a very important question. Stuffs meant for GT I9100 are compatible with your phone whereas stuffs meant for GT I9100G are not compatible.
2. Your Android version
3. The base of your firmware or custom ROM. Unmodified firmwares are based on Samsung. Stock based custom ROMs are also based on Samsung. CYANOGENMOD, AOKP Miui are based on AOSP
4. Your Kernel. Most custom kernels are dependent on your Android version or the base of your firmware or custom ROM

As Jokesy said, just make sure you flash a ROM made for the i9100(T,M,P) and NOT the i9100G. It will kill your phone.
Also, if you flash a 4.0.4 ROM, make sure it has a custom kernel such as Siyah kernel. This removes the MMC_CAP_ERASE brick bug that so many have been hit by. It's associated with stock 4.0.4 Samsung ROM's, it just kills your phone when you wipe data/factory reset in stock CWM. Just a note for future flashing.
Sorry for the noob questions but IM just clearing stuff up before I go ahead with the flash.
Because model number is extremely important does it matter that my phone is GT 19100"T"

No mate, the i9100T/M/P are all linked with the international i9100. The i9100G has different hardware meaning the ROM's made for it won't work on the international i9100 and i1900M/P/T and vice versa. Good luck.
Yep all good so my Android version is 4.0.3 I just checked, I should be good to go I'll report back once I've finished thank you fellas ! IM not sure what that killa posted was talking about but IM just going to follow through with what you have said and hope it works

Modems deal with network signal, mobile internet and GPRS. Rarely need to change them unless you experience poor reception on your phone. Here is a link to a thread with a whole load of modems if you wish to have a look: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
Modems do not have to match your kernel version, modems will work on GB, ICS and JB. They don't have to match the firmware on your phone, just in case you were wondering. Any other questions, don't hesitate posting here and I'll do my best to answer them.
oh awesome mate I really do appreciate the help as like I said I'm just confirming in me head before I give ths green light, ha there any particular way I need root my model of phone seems there's a few different ways ? thanks once again

Just had a quick search and found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227762
The third or fourth post says you can use i9100 methods to root the i9100T. However, it will change the product code to i9100 (don't think this is a problem, just more of would it annoy you)?
You can use CF-Root which is very easy to use. Please dial *#1234# and post your results.

So basically in an attempt to unroot my omega 4.5 running galaxy s3 t-i9300 i ended up bricking it!
I managed to fix this issue by restoring the right firmware which is compatible with m440s however this is an skt file and some of the aspects within the phone are chinese for instance the phone.
I need a uk or english based firmware, please help!!!
Much appreciated

It is not an i9300, it is a Korean model. Suggest you find a forum specifically for your phone. This forum is for the international model i9300. Checking on sammobile, only Korean firmware is available.

so whats my next step?
Just looking, there is a thread in the general section about rooting/custom roms, etc for your device. I would go to general and search for it.
Did you find the software?

Yes there is a thread for Korean models... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749214
You have two choices... 1, download official firmware from somewhere like sammobile and installing it or 2, downloading any custom rom for the i9300 and reading up on how to install it on the m440s page of that thread.
As its not a UK phone there will be no UK firmware for it.Will it work in the UK that depends upon basebands and modem.

It's Korean letters btw. You can install UK firmware but you have to run the kernel converter after. I have link to it on my m440s page.
