Hey there
I'm fairly new to rooting and I was using this guide:
cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50004972/
but I cant seem to find the kernel that is "similar" or "close to" as mine. I am currently on exact same stats as above:
Model: GT-I9100P
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband V: I9100PXXKI3
Kernel V: 2.6.35.7-I9100PXXKJ4-CL664063 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXKJ4
also I seen people mentioning NFC which I have no idea if my phone has or not, but I do know I purchased it off O2 on "contract", I was wondering if I could still root my phone and which kernel would be SAFE to use
I am willing to speak via Skype (British) to have someone walk me through the procedure if that makes anyone's life easier.
thank you for any feedback :cyclops:

NFC, just google the meaning came with your phone.
Don't follow just any root my phone tutorial on just any site. If you mess up with your phone, those guys can't help you.
The is the easiest way to root your phone, You don't even need to flash any kernel.
good luck

im sorry but i read through that post and got totally lost, i do not see any sort of structure explaining my situation - nor did i find anything to do with the i9100P-XXKJ4 model - which is what im trying to find the correct kernel for =/
the Cnet guy seems the most simplest way to me, if only i had a kernel that i was sure would work - i would have a rooted sgs2 by now.

What have you done?
You edited your post and made mine look stupid.
Anyway, now that your are still running gingerbread.
Check out CF-ROOT thread under original android development section on this forum, look four your kernel version, and follow the instructions there.

You can upgrade it and there is plenty of threads here about it. I suggest you to read more before doing anything.
Basically if your phone is rooted, get Odin, download ROM you want and flash it according to instructions.

No.
If you have all the tutorials you need then follow them.
End of topic.
PS: if you have a clear question then ask it first but dont reply to someone helping you by "I have all the tuto I need" but I have X or Y question.
It works like this here: you ask a clear question nicely, you will probably get a clear answer.
Anyway your topic sucks because that's a lack of respect for all those who bothered putting a tutorial to explain how to do.
You can not use a basic search and yet want to "upgrade your phone"??

You can flash any ROM designed for your phone model. You might want to use one which is released for your region so your modem works well.

The M250K in your baseband version makes me think this is a Korean variant? Personally I'd probably ask a question in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1097347 before flashing anything.

U might try downloading the ROM for ur device, then follow this steps:
1. Copy the ROM to Ur memory
2. Put in into Recovery Mode (when the phone is booting press (VOLUME UP + HOME)
3. Depending of the ROM u gonna flash u ll follow the steps for the installation, but remember before flashing any ROM different to the one u already have always WIPE DATA TO FACTORY.
4. Flash the ROM
5. Restart
Note: Ur phone doesn't need to be rooted to change the ROM

The website is called xda developers,not xda beginners. Pretty much everybody is writing tutorials and ROMs etc is doing it on their own time,for free. That time they have spent is a lot longer than the time it would take you to read a little and understand exactly what you need. So many people manage to change their firmware every day thanks to this site,without clogging up the message board with the same question that god knows how many people have already pointlessly posted this week alone.

See above post. In the time its taken you to prattle on about how unhelpful people are and irritate them,you probably could have read enough to learn what you're doing,same as most people. And the reason I saw this thread was shockingly enough because I was reading. Weird that.

Come on man, there are plenty of guides and the steps are quite the same. If you can't understand them, maybe it's better to reconsider if you're really going to root and flash roms...

Hi mate,
Im also kindo of nooby when it comes to root, but thanx to this website, i managed pretty good. Now i am very happy with my rooted SGS2 (i have the guy replied above to thank for that actually )
And please use the method (if you're gonna root) made for your version of S2

I'm sorry, I said wrong. I understand what I do, just need advice which version of CWM and Kernel I use (because I read that CWM has a problem with 4.0.4). Thanks.
Hi guys,
I have a samsung galaxy s2 and i need to root this phone. It is running ics 4.0.4. I read in the threads that rooting 4.0.4 will cause trouble.
Is there any other way to root other than downgrading to 4.0.3
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys

Flash Odin version of Siyah kernel (search for how to/which kernel you need to use). Done. Rooted phone + CWM, you can flash whatever you like/wipe till your bum gets red.

What thread/reply have you been reading because their talking crap or you have mis-read/misunderstood.
To root your device, install cwm all you need to do is flash Siyah kernel via ODIN or one of other various ways. This has already been discussed over and over again so we dont need yet another topic just to repeat everything again.
#1 rule by XDA is to search and read topics before creating them.
This has already been discussed over and over again
so many diferent things
but what is the best gide ?

You can use framaroot to root your phone. I think it is still better to use Chainfire's CF Auto root method or flash custom kernel with odin if you have access to a computer.
