I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 from vodafone. Here are the specs:
Android ver:4.0.3
Baseband:I9100BULP6
Kernel:3.0.15-I9100BULPC-CL332484 [email protected] #3
Build nr:IML74K.BULPC
Now running on AT&T
I want to root this phone while maintaining the stock firmware. Could some help me out I can't seem to find the right kernel to use. I appreciate it (p.s I did like to unroot at a later stage).
thanx
I suggest you go to the i9100 sub-forum and search there, post if need. Do search first.
I recommend the page galaxys2root.com there are very thorough video explanations for every version of SGS2

Hello everyone, I've just recently switched from iPhone 4S to Android Galaxy S II. My phone info is given below:
Model: GT-I9100T
Android version: 2.3.5
Basband version: I9100TDUKJ1
PDA: I9100TDUKJ1
PHONE: I9100TDUKJ1
CSC: I9100TVAUKJ1
I have already followed the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 to root my phone. I used http://download.chainfire.eu/50/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_LUX_KJ1-v5.0-CWM5.zip and used Odin to flash it. I'm now having the yellow triangle which I want to get rid of. According to the instruction, it says "(4) Find an original Samsung signed stock kernel (preferably from the same stock firmware you have, but it's not terribly important)" however, the secure kernel link which I found from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671 does not seem to be listing any KJ1 version. Can anyone please provide me a link for downloading this? Would it be the one here? http://hotfile.com/dl/144715979/1949050/I9100JPKJ2_I9100OJPKJ1_I9100XXKI4_HOME.tar.7z.html
Thanks in advance.
metalmaze,
Your best bet would be to download the stock firmware from Samsung themselves. Unlike many other companies, Samsung has a database where all (or rather most) of their stock firmwares are stored.
Since I'm unable to post outside links on the forum for now, do a Google search for "SamMobile firmware" and click on the first link. You will have to register in order to download any files from SamMobile, but it is quick and free, definitely worth it.
Hope this solves the issue! Best of luck!

Hey omar7os, the link you gave me does not have the KJ1 kernel so far I can see? Also, the rooting part isn't the problem, the flashing of the stock kernel to get rid of the yellow exclamation mark, while retaining CWM v5's features enabled is the problem. I believe this is due to not having the proper stock kernel for the KJ1?

Hey omar,
You're missing my issue here. My issue is not rooting, that's easy. But I'm trying to get rid of the yellow icon by following the instructions which is not working. So I believe I need the stock kernel for KJ1.

As a wise colleague of mine said a few posts above yours, "You need to read, a lot". As per my post above read the section that says "Help ! Which file do I use ?' carefully/slowly/several times. The information that will enable you to chose the 'correct' kernel is in that section.
One thing you need to check tho. Check the sticker on the phone chassis under the battery & make sure you have an I9100 or I9100T. Once you're sure the info I've referred you to in the CFRoot thread makes choosing the right kernel simple.
If you still can't work out which kernel to use, you're not reading carefully/closely enough & I'd reconsider doing anything to your phone if I were you. People who don't pay attention or rush blindly into things/take shortcuts tend to end up with borked phones.

1) Remove your email address from your post; do you want to be spammed mercilessly ?
2) If you can't find the thread stickied 2nd from the top of Q&A which has the information you need, I'm not sure you should be messing with your phone in the first place. There's a fair chance it's going to end up busted.
So I'm really really new to the whole android world, and I was wondering if anyone could give me a walkthrough on how to root my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (SGH-I727) running on ICS 4.0.4, kernal version 3.0.8 using a mac computer? Thanks.
