I have been bouncing back and forth between 2.3.6 and 4.0.3 and wish I could figure out a good way to root my ICS 4.0.3. The things I have tried from here have all resulted in failures and having to rollback to 2.3.6 rooted. I hate all the voice recognition software and would love to get rid of it so rooting is my only options, I think!
Please help if possible.
More information.

So your phone is not a galaxy s2? I believe you have posted in the wrong direction

Go to the AT&T Galaxy S2 Forums. They can help you. The i777 is the AT&T Galaxy S2.
Yes my phone is a Samsung Galaxy SII
There seems to be some confustion. First make sure your phone is an I777. Look under the battery.
I777UCLD4 was a pre-release leak. The officially released version is I777UCLE5. Do not install UCLD4. Go to the development section and get UCLE5 Stock ICS plus Root.

I have an international Galaxy S2 and I find that the reception on AT&T is terrible. Plenty of dropped calls and people can't hear me well.
I think it might be a problem with the firmware that I have on it.
Model umber: GT-I9100
Android Version 2.3.4
Baseband version: I9100XXKI1
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4
Yeah that's quite old.. I'm using AT&T also. I'm using latest cm9. You should upgrade.
Edit: go to the bottom of post and get latest firmware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Which firmware are you running? THere are so many firmwares on that page, I don't know which one will run well on ATT.
Im using the latest and having no trouble. At least no problems with dropped calls.

If you don't know if you need it or not, then the short answer is: no, you don't need it.
Read, read, read, then read some more, then Google what you read but didn't understand. Then if you think you need it, read the stickies here to learn how to install it.

Battery life is subjective. Its really more relative to whatever extra apps and crap u stick on that can affect it. If u know what yer doing with tweaking kernel stuff (undervolting, underclocking, etc.) U can get great battery life on most ROMS. GB 2.3.4 firmware was awesome for me in regard to battery life. To each their own I suppose.

AFAIK the I757 aka 'Sky rocket' has an entirely diff hardware config compared to I9100 hence, installing a software meant for the I9100(international) on ur phone might lead to a hardbrick, u have a dedicated section for the same.please visit there and check

The Skyrocket is the i727, not the i757. But it's still not the i9100.

This phone is made by bell. So I can only flash the ROMs that are only made for this phone? I cannot flash skyrocket ROMs? There are only like 2 ROMs for this phone :9
I've bought an i757 too and im a little decieve at the fact that there is only two Rom available for this built.
Well. I love it anyway. I find it more interresting than the original gs2 an much more cool than the ugly gs3.
And the CM10 Rom is getting better each day. So there still hope.

For all intents and purposes I believe they (the i757 & i757m) are the same phone, but they may use different modem software.

yes, i agreed but the most thing is that i can't find the i757's baseband files. It makes my phone out of work when i flashing the i757m's baseband, and can not bake to the old version andriod.

Hello
This is my first attempt at rooting a phone and even though I managed to narrow down the kernels I could use to 2, I figured it wouldn't hurt to consult people with more experience at this just to make sure I'm making the right choice.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 bought from Estonia.
My phone's kernel version is as follows:
3.0.15-I9100XWLP7[email protected]#3
Now, as I understood the bold part is what I need to pay attention to when picking the kernel I'm going to use. I searched Chainfire's thread according to the understanding I have and found two between which one is probably the one I'm looking for.
Which of these two should I be looking at (and what's the difference between the two, are they the correct ones?) :
CF-Root-SGS2_DX_XTC_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Why is that?
I read that CF-Root is great if the user is looking for a original-like experience and that it is also very easy to install.
I was planning on rooting the phone and looking into Rootbox jb 4.1.2. What I'm currently looking for is a decent jelly bean rom and rootbox seemed like a good choice. As I understood installing rootbox on a phone with CF-Root shouldn't pose any problems?
Another one I found interesting is WanamLite. Any suggestions in terms of which jb rom for everyday use would be the safest choice for a newbie like me would be greatly appreciated.
You have try them yourself, that's the best way to see what fits you the most.
EDIT: But i'd go with WanamLite because I don't like PA (ParanoidAndroid) based roms like Rootbox.
There are various ways to root using .zip or .tar files,its just what you fancy.
Im happy using GB for now......but I'll give stock JB a try when its out for UK.

You can download all of them and bring them all with you. If one works, roll with it. If it doesn't, try the next one. Takes 2 minutes Max to reboot to recovery, flash the modem, and reboot. Stop when you find one that works.

Where'd he even get a modem for the I9100 though and why would he flash it on an.I777? Unless he has the international version of the phone and is just confused.
