Hey XDA Forums. Bit of a newbie here at the moment, but considering I have just bought my SGS2 from Kogan I have no idea what region my phone is from.
I'm looking for the appropriate CF-Root for my SGS2 on ICS. Full phone details are in the screenshot link below.

XXLPS is the baseband, but you have to look for the build number. From your screenshot this is XWLP7. Just search the the CF-Root thread for a version matching your build. Make sure your read the section Help! Which file do I use ? before downloading.

Ahh! Not i'm confused. One of you has said look for LP7, which I found. The other is saying LPS, which is also there. I am going to go with the LP7 kernel I found, but I'd like to be 100% sure that's the right one.

As already advised, read the section of post 1 of the CF-root thread that has the heading "Help! Which file do I use ?". It answers your question.
Apologies, thanks for both of you. Appreciate the help. Will flash my the kernel once I'm finished playing around with Google TV!

Hi an hello too all.
One Noob more on XDA-Developers
Just a little question!
As i cannot Post in the development Forum i have to ask here.
I´m looking for a CF-Root Kernel for this Firmware:
PDA: I9100XWKI4
Phone: I9100XXK11
CSC: I9100DBTKH1
It´s the official Firmware 2.3.4 released over Kies in Germany.
I searched like my Fingers get hot, but no result.
If anyone has the correct Kernel, i would be glad about a Download-Link.
Thanks a lot
PS: Sorry about my English, writing English is horrible 4 me.
You dont need to be able to post in development to scroll through the first two pages

No worries mate.
Anyway just use the cf-root linked by Darkside Agent.
Be sure 100% you know what you are doing, read the cf-root instruction twice at least because it is full of ppl that bricked (or semi bricked) the phone because the hurry to root without check the whole instructions.

It's not possible. Many skillful developers are working hard to crack it, but Samsung's protection is just too hard to crack, it seems. If you somehow still find people, saying that it's possible, don't believe them, they are trying to trick you. All the existing "working" methods are just going to break your phone.
Ok, now on a serious note, it's possible, but I really wouldn't advise you to do that, regarding your... erm... "mental capabilities" in challenging situations.

It is driving me nuts...have tried all 3 options on their site for installation, I'm sure Im not the only person with this issue.
Can anybody shed some light on this issue in PLAIN english...the help would be much appreciated.

You need CWM recovery
Or if u have CWM recovery then turn off signature verification

Multiupload is gone for good. That's the resolution.
But, all the download links in the CF-Root thread are links to chainfire's own hosted site. Not a single download link in the CF-Root thread is to a multiupload site. (seriously. Not a one)
So are you looking at the right thread for CF-Root?

Flashing one of these kernels (looks like you'll want to use a KF4 kernel - I think there's only one on the page) will give you CWM recovery. Once you have this, try your CyanogenMod install again.
As always though, the best advice I can offer is to search, research, and read voraciously before doing anything that can possibly do irreparable harm to your phone.

Ctomgee,
Thanks for the heads up...I think the only harm I will be doing is to my friend, whom made me take this path. Should the phone brick its self..at least I will have something to throw at him...
Thanks Again..will give it ago & let you know.

Hi,
Im new to the rooting, and i have been searching google, youtube, this forum and probably everywhere to find answers to my questions, but im having a hard time to find out what will work with my verson. I have found ALOT of "how to" guides on root, but i feel they all go to quick and say install this and this and do that.. But im sitting and wondering WHAT is all this files, what do they do, and is this the correct way for my verson?
Im very confused
Info on my SGS2:
Android-verson: 4.0.3
Baseband verson: I9100XXLPQ
Kernalverson: 3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505
What im interested to try is put a clean verson if ICS on my phone.
I also tried to follow a guide i found on galaxy2root for the ICS, but after unzipped the kernal file, i should have a .tar file but i just get a zImage.file. This will not open in Odin 1.85.
I had an iphone 4 that i got "jailbroken" and got that to work very good. So i can do things like this, but i really like to know what im doing before i start.
I hope i dont get fried for probably asking this for the 100000000 time, but as i said, i tried to search everywhere, but im just so confused, so if anyone could point me in the correct direction i would be very happy.

Hi again,
I got the phone rooted, and working fine.
But having some problems with installing the custom rom.
I follow the guide, and do everything it says, after its finish installing (that takes ca one minute, and it should take more then five?) it says everything is good. And i restart, get the yello triangle and the screen goes black, now its supposed to boot, but it stays black.
Cant understand what i did wrong
I got the phone restored, so it works now but i really want to try the pure ics rom
Regards Alpejohn86
which is the ROM you are trying to install?
Its called "Pure ICS ROM for Rooted Galaxy S2! [i9100]"
I cant post link to it, but i followed a guide on galaxys2root com

my friend you wont get support for such ROMs which are not from XDA..
there are plenty of ROM on XDA developers site : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1204
select any of them and follow the instruction....
How can i know thats a different "place" ?
As you probably understod a long time ago, im a newbe noob.
You cant expect me to know all this, thats why im here in the first place.
I understand that it anoying when people like me come here and ask questions thats been asked before, im active in a bmw forum and know all about stupid questions, but you guys are the experts at this, im not.
I was not sure if i wanted to ask on xda at all, after seeing the video. It made it sound like its not legal to come here and ask stupid questions.
But, thanks for the info, i will check the roms on xda.
Alpejohn86
Welocome & goodluck
Thanks ZACQ8
Maybe you guys can answer a question, i have now installed a rom from the XDA forum, and its called F1-Galaxy Nexus (i think), its a clean ICS rom.
But im missing the Notes and the file manager, and i think there are som other apps thats missing to. The description said this should be exactly like the Nexus, but i would think the Nexus also have the Notes app?
Other than that, it works great!

What notes that comes with Android? There isn't one.
If you mean the notes app which comes with Samsung ROMs, you need to have a read what AOSP is.
Oh, so the Notes is something that Samsung put on there? If so, then i understand why its not there. Thanks!
Hi, I'm sure I'm beeing a n00b but I had my phone rooted and I just updated to the latest firmware via KIES and now I have the Kernal Version XWLPI and I can't find any instructions that I understand on how to get rooted agian. When I had a different kernal version there were heaps of tutorials and now I'm not sure what to do.
Any help would be much appreciated. I have the NZ version of the phone.

A Google search for your exact thread title ("How to root XWLPI") would have returned results that would work for you.
But here, I'm feeling generous. Go to the CF-root thread. There is an LPI kernel there, and instructions are in post 1.
If you don't want to replace the kernel, this works as well (and can be reversed quite easily!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
It is very simple, just involves copying 2 files to the (external!) SD-Card and following the instructions for CWM.
