Root Kernel 3.0.8 I9100G - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I know this kinda thread has been brought up before many times, but I don't know my way around its my first time.
I'm trying to root kernel my phone I9100G but can't find the right versions.. I tried Siyah version 4.0.1 but then my phone gets stuck in the booting screen and CWM unaccessible.
I am trying to find the right kernel for my phone but don't know where to look, already searching for hours.. if anyone could give me a link to the right kernel it would help me a lot.
My phone informations are
Model: GT-I9100G
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband: I9100GXXLPV
Kernel: 3.0.8
Build Nr: IMM76D.XXLPY
Thanks!

[Q] Which kernel do i have? Samsung Galaxy s2

Hi,
I watched the noob video when registering, heard that you should ask in the thread relating to your issue, well i wasn't allowed as a noob to post in that thread because i had below 10 posts, which makes the video telling me to do that stupid.
Anyway, i wanted to root my Samsung Galaxy S2 ( this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 )
But i don't understand which kernel to download for my phone cause non of them match my kernel when i look in my phone.
This is the kernel my phone has : [email protected] #2
Which kernel root package do i need to download? Is this KE2, KE7, KE8 or KF1??
I have no idea, i'm very confused.
(Reason i want to root is to mount smb shares with cifsmanager, and only that.)
I'm realizing my version is XWKDG which no one else on the entire internet has, this is probably because i turned in my phone for repair just after 2 days after recieving it due to some technical errors, i'm guessing they gave me some firmware no one else has?
Can i just use the KE2 and root with that or the XWKDD? Honestly, try google XWKDG and you'll find nothing. Everyone who is aksing about it is me, it feels lonely.
Check your link again, there is a Kernel that matches your slightly, the: XWKDG1
Hi, Im noob and I have similar problem.
I have bought 8 days old, second hand galaxy s 2 that is rooted and I want to unroot it. Problem is I dont know which cf root to use (there are 3 diferent codes XXKE7, XWKDD, XWKF3). And also which is the stock/original ROM???
Here is the info
Baseband: I9100XXKE7
Kernel ver: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] 103 #2
Build num:Gingerbread.XWKF3
Thanx
u should look I9100 in ur kernel ver so urs is XWKDD
Thank you, thank you, thank you...
I am still trying to find the thank you button...
Can someone explain more about kernel? What will happen if I flash a Rom with different Kernel than the one on my phone?
Also Can i flash a different kernel, or i should only look for ROMS that have my kernel only.
I have been looking for weeks over the forum but i couldn't find a helpful explainaition for Kernels.
Thank you. i know there are many experts on this forum that can help us.
I need a hand as well please. I am new to all of this but I have read quite a bit so far on rooting my GS2. The issue I am having is that my when I go to
settings > about phone > kernel version it only reads 2.6.35.7 There is nothing after that to denote which CF-root I need to be using. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Model Number : SAMSUNG-SGH_I777
Andriod Version : 2.3.6
Baseband Version : I777UCKK6
Kernel Version : 2.6.35.7

Meatness: I had the same issue. If you install "cpu spy" (find it on the Market), it gives you more information about your CPU, including the full kernel information.
Hope that helps!

[Q] Where do i find an insecure Kernel for 4.0.3

Hey everyone,
so i've rooted my phone once before, and after some time i decided it was time to install chainfire's rom due to my battery drainage.
so i went on over to chainfire's thread and read... and read.... and read... downloaded all the jizz. and eventually i got down to the odin part. it was hanging at a specific step. anyways i read... again and realised that my firmware supported a very old recovery tool that didnt work so great. so i got back down to the site and read some more, and eventually got down to installing a new firmware (still confused with firmware vs kernel... but anyway)...
i went down to sammobile. and voila got a 4.0.3 firmware nice! but then... root was gone, and like my rooted apps that installed requested it needs to be rooted first. so i was like (EFFFFFF) anyway.
so i began searching again on how to root, and yes i know i need an insecure kernel... but where on earth do i find this thing.
i noticed that on sammobile they have kernels (or is it firmware, jeez all these names )... and i noticed that some of them have hash signs (##) next to them, does that mean it's insecure? i read somewhere that the star (*) sign means incomplete (it's an update rather)...
so please, someone, anyone, please help...
all i wanna do is install chainfire's rom

thanks in advance guys...
Just download and flash via odin the cf root kernel for LPQ which is compatible with LP7 (use the latest version 5.4 referred to as proper it is a bug fix version). This will give you root and cwm.

[Q] GT-i900G root guide?

Hi there (topic should say GT-i9100G)
Been searching for days to find a way to root my GT-i9100G model. I found plenty for previous builds of my kernel but nothing for this current one.
So I'm at the end of my wits and for the first time in years I'm turning to creating a thread on a forum, getting ready for the flame.
kernel: 2.6.35.7 DELL165 dpi @ # 2
Android version: 2.3.6
Build number is: GINGERBREAD.XXLA1
Baseband version: I9100GXXKL4
I had a i900 from work but after it broke my work phone was replaced with this model and I'm sick of not being able to run ICS on it.
Anyways, wanna get CWM on it, but I'm very green at the whole custom ROM scene, only thing I ever rooted was my 10.1 tab with Odin to flash AOKP's builds :\
Anyways, if anyone has any tip, don't be shy.

You DID mean GT-i9100G, right?
Need to know more, anyways. Build number?
Use super one click
Yes of course, silly me, GT-i9100G is my phone.
Build number is: GINGERBREAD.XXLA1
Baseband version: I9100GXXKL4
I've read others talk about super one click, the reports were very mixed and I think this build will not work, or am I wrong?

I believe SuperOneClick requires an insecure kernel to be flashed to your phone first before using it, right? You just have to make sure the insecure kernel is for the I9100G, and not the I9100. And if you cannot find an exact match for your kernel version for an insecure kernel, you will need a copy of your secure kernel to flash back when you're done rooting.
I'm afraid I don't know where to get these things for an I9100G, however, so you're on your own to look for them. (unless someone who knows this information sees this post and is kind enough to post it to you)
EDIT to add: that said, I've heard of a few custom kernels for the I9100G that, when flashed, will root your phone for you. I don't remember what they are though, you'll have to search for them.
EDIT 2: Found one (superatmos) that has a version compatible with your build.

Korean Samsung Galaxy S II with Tegrak Kernel..Custom Rom possible?

Hi Im new to this forum but I hope people will still help me
Well, like the title says, i got a korean galaxy s II rooted with tegrak kernel. I rooted by flashing siyah kernel first, but because the phone did not boot, i flashed tegrak kernel after that. Now, i havent really seen any confirmation for custom roms to work on the tegrak kernel and i dont want to risk to brick my phone... so..does anyone actually know if its possible and if yes, does the person also know HOW to do it? I searched for it in the internet but i didnt find anything..(i should mention that im not too good at korean..so i couldnt search for it on korean :0)

[Q] sgs2 - can't get root with cwm - newbie

Hello people
It's my first post here
I'm trying to get my sgs2 rooted.
I've been searching around forums quite a bit, but quickly got confused since I don't know what ROM I have, nor what brand is my phone (canadian, at&t, south african or whatever).
After looking around a bit I found out that I have an insane chip using the "eMMC Brickbug Check' app, which led me to find that the safest way to get root which is using the CWM from recovery mode without flashing kernel.
I tried it but when I get to clockwork mod everything gets stuck and the message "cant open /cache/recovery/log" pops all the time.
So I'm kind of stuck here, any help would be kindly appreciated.
