Root GT-I9100
I have a GT-I9100 and have just plucked up the courage to root it.
I found an article on the AndroidAuthority web site titled:
Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100: How to root Android 4.0.3 firmware XWLP7 and XWLP8
This worked perfectly and allowed me to remove all the Samsung bloatware.

Except GT-I9100G is DIFFERENT to the GT-I9100, and using that procedure will likely brick his phone.
Use the link JJEgan posted to the I9100G sub-forum for this kind of question about your phone

You need a new internet thousands of posts asking the same question on XDA . Though most are in Q&A section .
FAQS GUIDES CWM &ROOT ROOT YOUR ICS to name but a few .
big question is why do you want to root the phone do you know what root is .

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?

Arrow [Q] Samsung galaxy S II GT-I9100T Stock kernel for Vodafone AustraliaArrow
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.
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
Dear all,
I'm sorry in advance if the post exist but I'm completely lost with the process of rooting and install cwm and new roms on my Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100. I searched a lot how to do it and in the safer way as I don't want to brick my phone.
My phone version is:
PDA: I9100XWKE7
PHONE: I9100JCKE1
CSC: I9100JCKE1
Android Version : 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100JCKE1
Kernel Version: 2.6.37.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725 [email protected]#2
Build number GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
Please help I would like to root and install Jellybean ROM 4.1.2 or 4.2 either Official or Custom on it. If needed install CWM
Thanks in advance for your help
P.S I think it is the International I9100
Please Help...

Follow the instructions in the thread to upgrade your phone to stock JB, root it, download your custom rom of choice, follow the instructions on the first page of the thread devoted to that rom in order to flash it.

Please read "read before rooting" in my signature. Dont scan the thread looking for a particular answer. Please just read it all. This is all essential information you need to know before rooting.
