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

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
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570377
novice might be bricked
he aint replied his success yet should only take ten mins at most i hope he hasnt brickd if so itll be fresh efs an bootloaders just a heads up if your reading
correct me if im wronga

If that model is right (GT-I9001), and the baseband (i9001 BUKP1) is also right, then you don't have a Galaxy S2.
GT-I9001 is the model number for the Galaxy S Plus.
EDIT to add: the Galaxy S Plus doesn't have it's own forum, but does have a sub-forum in the Galaxy S forum.

Dude, why are you still in the I9100 forums?
Go to the I9001 forum I linked for you. Before you accidentally install something that will permanently break your phone.
EDIT to add: Again, since it's a small device variation of the i9000, there's not a dedicated Q&A section for your device, but there IS a Q&A thread for the I9001 that is located in the I9000 Q&A forum.
Can someone upload the Contacts and the phone apps of the stock 4.0.4
(and also task manager plz )
anyone plz upload ur stock contacts and phone apk

It's probably better no one did.
This post is currently in the Galaxy SII I9100 Q&A forum. If you are a Galaxy Wonder owner (Galaxy W I8150), then I'm pretty sure those files from a Galaxy SII (GT-I9100) wouldn't work for you.
You would probably be better off asking for these files in the Wonder forum.

HI, Can you post Phone Apk for Android 4.0.4 here.
I recently Upgraded My LG P990 to Official ICS. But, it has issue with Phone Calls (Black Screen).
Please Post Stock Phone App for ICS 4.0.4.
Thanks.
You're in the wrong place. Samsung's apk is not going to work on your phone.
Got a GT-I9100 According to phone info in settings.
I vaguely remember something about a S2 galaxy plus? I think this might be one?
Would I need to look for a rom on the normal S2 i9100 android dev forum?
Or on the s2 i9100 G android forum version?

Download and install this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
Look at the phone model to confirm if the settings is telling the correct thing
