Easiest way to root is to flash a rooted kernel, such as CF-Root kernel.
Here is the thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root
In Post #8 you will find CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5.zip which will work fine for your ROM.
Just download this kernel and flash it with Odin to your phone - as described in the first post.
If you want to remove the yellow triangle and reset the flash counter after flashing the CF-Root kernel, just use TriangleAway app from Chainfire (there is a link to it in the first post).
Good luck !

is it poosible to go to previous kernal after rooting?

also if you are planning to use other carrier make sure you have an unlock phone. If not, go to PLay Store and download Galaxy S2 unlock app.

You mean stock kernel? Yes, but only by flashing stock Samsung firmware.

That's not true. You can just flash the stock kernel without flashing the entire firmware.

+1, kernel is independent of rom, u can always flash the same without any issue as long as its compatible

can plz guide me how to do this

Download a stock kernel, flash it in Odin. Not rocket surgery. You got your hand held on the first page & a half of this thread, time for you to do some reading/learning on your own; Stickies.

i am new in andriod word so i do not much about it
i was trying to root my SGS2 but it's not allowed for rooting so that now i want to rest to the stock binary
I still don't get it. Rooting is not allowed? Says who? When? What? Use the same method as with the custom kernel flash, but swap the file with the stock kernel linked earlier.

[Q] How to goback to UHKG7 from XWKDD

hi guys, I was trying to root and got it finally, but ended up on XWKDD firmware version. My original firmware was UHKG7. Now I want to go back to UHKG7 firmware. But not able to find the whole package .. Please advice how to proceed.
How I managed to get to XWKDD was, got the full firmware package and did a complete flash and then rooted. So i assume going back to UHKG7 would be similar if i get a full firmware package for UHKG7 ?? is it or not ?
Please advice the package i should be using to get to UHKG7 ...
thank you,
merin

Is there anything wrong if you keep XWKDD? or is it just personal preference?
I'm trying to do the same thing you did, but i'm installing another rom from for another region.

I can find a proper rom for my sgs2

i have sgs2 kernal xwkdd-cl161513
can anybody tell where i can find a proper ROM, if there is an offical one would be better!
have you looked at http://www.sammobile.com most of the original stock ROMS are there? You have to register and you can search by Country to find the original ROM for your phone.
What do you mean by proper ROM

I think you miss something here. When you flash a new rom (custom via CWM or official via Odin), your kernel will be 'updated'. So your current one doesn't matter.
And why flash XXLSJ when official JB is already out..?

You indeed can't use Kies when you have root access. The link to official roms has been given above at the first answer. Flash it with Odin.

How on earth do you expect anybody to tell you which rom you need to flash when you have not given a single bit of specific info about your device like which model s2 it is, what your location is etc etc?
You have already been given a link to find your correct rom, use it and then flash via ODIN using guide on forum.

Custom ROM

Hello guys, i found the Android Revolution HD rom pretty awesome,it fits my style(stock, fast etc) but i don`t know how to flash it, i have Galaxy s3 i9300 International version Unbranded never locked on any carrier, firmware 4.1.2 i9300XXEMC2 stock kernel, my phone isn`t even rooted...i had a galaxy s1 and s2 before but im not so experienced with rooting the galaxy s3, in that ROM section how to install it tells me i need Custom Recovery, and now my questions are :
1. how i flash galaxy s3 i9300 ? i found chainfire method but i read that it doesn`t support custom recovery ... so what`s the method?
2. wich version i must flash ? what are the differences ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334 the 25.0 or 35.5 version?
HEEEELP ! PLEASE
If you read both chainfires thread and the revolution thread properly then all is completely clear.....don't skim it....read them both PROPERLY ....if you can't be bothered to do this then the chances are you will brick your phone
I just read the revolution thread and found the answer within 1 minute
I know Chainfire thread is 100% clear

My routine is this (I use cf root)(old recovery included)

back to stock rom

hi
I have a root device with 4.4.2 ROM and I want to back to stock 4.1.2 i9100 ROM ...
can I use Odin and the guide in this forum :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-26-12-flash-stock-firmware-rom-t2365701
to get back to stock 4.1.2 even if I have a 4.4.2 ROM installed on my device ?
thanks a lot
For God's sake - YES:angel:

do I need to do something before I flash the 4.1.2 via Odin instead of the 4.4.2 ROM?
the downgrade will not damage my phone ?
thanks
No damage,no need of nothing.Just use the guide and that's it.

Yes, it will. Your phone will heat up to 173°C & flames will shoot out of the USB port & headphone jack. Will suck to be you when this happens (hope you're not holding it).

Also if my phone is Sim free the phone can be no sim free after flash vid odin the stock Rom?

Sorry for the noob question
it will remain sim-free.

Also, if i have a 4.4.2 before flash via odin the stock 4.1.2 do i need to flash a 4.1.2 recovery or 4.1.2 kernal?

No.No.No
You don't need anything.
That guide will do the magic.
Just do it!!!
Just follow the guide, and everything will be just fine. No worries mate...
Yeah! that's true!
whenever im getting bored to custom rom i had flash, I always go to that link to flash it again to Stock ROM 4.1.2
and it goes well.
nothing to worry about it.
