I have tried to root my S2 before with success, but recently I try to root but an issue arises. After I click start on my Odin3 v1.83 using CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5, it didnt have any error, but when my S2 try to reboot, it will sort of switch off by itself, it seem like it cant load. In the end I have to download this GT-I9100_SIN_I9100DXLP9_I9100OLBLP9_I9100DXLP9 to make my S2 work again.
Please advice, I have no idea what wrong, even after I have checked USB debugging
Try to download a specific CF-Root kernel for your current firmware which is DXLP9.

Cf-root lp9 is for you. You flashed the wrong kernel.

I was using odin, superoneclick and kies to root my phone. All was working fine untill superoneclick decided not to open and had an error message that said "Unable to find the version of runtime to run this application." I couldn't find a way to fix it after multiple attempts so I decided to try the easier way of rooting the phone. But this requires my firmware which is KDD but I can find the thread for it. Does anyone have the thread for it or help me find it. PLEASE help is greatly appreciated I have been doing this for more then 4 hours im getting really frustrated.
Dev section. Chainfires CWM and Root thre.

I rooted mine by flashing the lightning rom through Odin. The rom is already rooted. Even if you don't want to use it at least you are rooted and can flash other stuff now

+1 did the same. with CWM after u can go anywhere..
Hi! I attempted to root my S2 via a method I found here whereby I flash an insecure kernel then root using S2 root. I followed the guide to the T and still my phone is only ''partially rooted'' according to rootchecker and no root apps could be granted su access.
I am running ICS 4.0.3, Baseband Version XXLPS.
What should I do next or should I accept defeat and leave this phone unrooted? What could I have done wrong?
Thanks in advance for reading.

flash the latest siyah kernel v3.4.1 either from ur recovery (use siyah .zip file) or thro Odin ( use siyah .tar file) and then see
Thanks Sun!
I have downloaded the Tar file. I assume what I do now is flash it onto my phone and retry S2 Root again?

If you flash Siyah you will be already rooted.
Ah, then perfect. Thank you!

Either I am an uber noob or there is something wrong!
I downloaded the Siyah 3.4.1.tar kernel from gokhanmoral and flashed via odin and the phone sat at the boot screen with the little yellow triangle on it. I left the phone on and running like that for 10minutes.
I flashed my insecure kernel back on from last time (the one I used when trying to root using s2root) and it is fine again.
Anywho I am back to square one! -.-

ok buddy follow this steps to reroot ur phone in a proper manner.
1) Dwnld the official ICS firmware(4.0.3) and flash thro odin
link Here
2) after that please dwnld the Matching Cf- root kernel and flash thro' ODIN
link Here
ur phone will be rooted properly and should wrk fine
ps- read the OP of both the threads carefully and follow the instructions over there to root ur phone successfully
If you only need proper root, no custom or insecure kernels and no yellow triangle, look at the guide in my signature. Worth the try

Hey i had a similar problem. There is a superuser n buybox zip file that you will find on one forum here,that is about basic how to root. Copy those files to your phone then go to recovery and apply zip. I had a hard time with my phone partially rooted but thay solved it

Hi all,
i am using sgs2 ics 4.0.3. I tried to root my phone using Odin and CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.tar file. But it failed. I tried again but result was same. I have xwlp7 kernel version and latest Samsung kies installed in my computer. Can anyone explain what could be the reason? And what should i do to root my phone. Please help.
You could try flashing a custom kernel like siyah or dorimanx or use this method:

hi Haxtreme, the alternative method you suggested, didn't work. But flashing siyah kernel did it. Thanks to you. But suggest me what is the next step after rooting my phone. i have taken a back up of rom using cwm. i am a new root user.
Next step should be efs backup.
The next step!
You got root and CWM!
The next step!
Install custom ROMszZ
The next step!
Install custom kernels!
The next step!
Overclock/underclock! As you desire!
Backup apps with titanium backup!
Backup using nandroid!

If u wish to start something w/ odin (just use odin3 v1.85 for s2) then first time u must do is uninstalling kies as it's messed over both..
Then If u have stock rom zip, start flashing it again by ticking one packages & tick & browse pda to matched zip stock. Stay away from another option in odin then. If it's successful, mean ur phone had a full wipe reset to stock factory (that's why u need backup like TiB).
At this point I think u can root by rahmat3 methods without any issues if u run it carefully as his per. No worries..

Hi all, could anyone offer a solution to a slight problem i have? Basically i got the charging problem after flashing latest stock ics. I read that if i put a diff rom on it would fix the prob bit i lost root. So i get into download mode boot odin up and connect but the pc says something about usb failed cant connect etc etc so i cant root or rom yet when i connect the phone when not in download mode it gets recognised straight away i can transfer files view sd card etc etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks.

If you want to root the phone and get CWM, you can flash Siyah or any other custom kernel with temporary CWM.
If you only want root you can get it with that app by Chainfire that uses Exynos exploit.

May I know why you are not able to use Odin?
That is a very simple way to root.
It depends on your current firmware/kernel. I was able to flash and never used Odin I've rooted the phone using exynos abuse as I had really vulnerable kernel, then I installed Recovery by rom manager and flashed stuff from the open recovery. But make sure that exynos abuse works for your firmware before using it and make sure you know what you are doing and don't touch anything else then root option in this program
I install samsung kies. But still when i connect my S3 to my PC nothing happen. Sorry for my bad english

The date of purchase means nothing. I know that you have stock firmware, but there are many stock firmware versions (even if all are 4.1.2) and they have different vulnerabilities. I was at XXELL4 kernel at stock, which is old and vulnerable, but you may be on one of the newest kernel which can't be abused without ODIN. Please take more time to read guides and get more familiar with the phone, as your next post might start by "I've bricked my phone, please help" You will survive few days at stock rom and it seems that you don't know the basics

KIES & Odin do not play well together, hence you should deinstall KIES in case you want to use Odin, will save you a lot of time solving connection issues.
Otherwise as mentioned.

Do not use Kies!
All you need to do is install the drivers of your phone and once that is
done and Kies is opened infront of you open, go to
Task Manager > Processes > Remove All Kies Related Applications
and then use Odin to root your phone.
1. Provide us with kernel version.
2. Are you on ICS/JB?
3. Are you on OS X? If you are use Heimdall; Mac alternative to Odin. Otherwise there is no reason why you should use anything other than Odin/Heimdall, just flash CF Root.
what do you need root for? if you don't know the difference between Kies and Odin, don't root it, you'll brick it
