Heya
I'm rooting my phone for the first time. Had a quick look around the web and couldn't find the exact instructions for rooting the stock XXLQ6. However I have read that using the instructions set for xxlq5 is safe and won't cause any major issues.
Should I root the XXLQ6 using XXLQ5 instructions?
If not, please recommend any(safest) instructions on how I should root the XXLQ6.
Flash siyah kernel from www.gokhanmoral.com. Download the odin flashable one and flash it.
I suggest you be extremely careful if you follow another guide, since the stock kernel you have is dangerous and can hardbrick your phone.

Hey Spiralz,
I noticed the changelog in that link you gave. Is there a full set of instructions in order to root the siyah kernel?

That kernel is rooted. When you flash it, you wont have to do anything else to root it. Simply flash it from the pda section in odin.

Hey Jokesy
I done the rooting few minutes ago through Spiralzz method. (odin and the siyah kernel from gokhan moral site)
Was that a bad solution?
What should I check in order to ensure that my phone was rooted successfully?
I notice during boot mode there is a yellow triangle that displays. Is there anyway to get rid of that?

Hi. I'm new to rooting and i would just like to make sure that I can use siyah kernel to safely backup/restore and wipe data/factory reset. I have the emmc brick bug (i checked using the app in the play store). It read that if i use stock kernel that i can hardbrick my deivce if i wipe data or restore a backup but is it the same situation with siyah kernel. Is is 100% safe to use this kernel. Sorry if this is a stupid question but i couldn't really find the answer anywhere else. I just want to make sure doing this will be safe.
My galaxy s2 is on 4.0.4 , i9100xxlq6 and pda is i9100xwlpt

Don't wipe anything, or make any backup after rooting your phone. Let me know when your phone is rooted, then I'll guide about flashing a custom kernel immediately. This way you are safe.
Or
If you are so, so scared, then i will advise you to flash a custom kernel via Odin at once. This is faster and safer in your case.
So which one do you prefer?

network lock control key
Hi gents,
I have SGS2 running ICS 4.0.4, baseband V. I9100XXLQ6. Till yesterday my phone was working well, but today I received the error that says "enter network lock control key", I checked little bit in internet how to resolve this error but I can't find any safe solution. I thing that only way is to root my phone but also I read that my baseband have some bug's. So can someone please help me how to root my phone or any other solution hot to avoid network lock control key.
Thanks in advance

Rooting
Hey there,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II, the info about the phone is in the attachment (Screenshot). I have been considering to root my phone lately due to the problems with my GPS. I have understood, that by rooting my phone, I can have access to such apps as FasterFix and GPS Aids which should solve the problem of changing my NTP server. I guess, that since the phone was bought abroad, it hasn't got the correct server in my country. So tell me, what is the best and the safest way to root my phone and is it even a good idea? Maybe you have other solutions? Anyways, I hope for your help, dear XDA-Developers
Cheers,
Olev.
EDIT:
Just checked the Got Brick bug? app. Found out that the kernel indeed is Known to have the bug. Really hoping for your help in solving this problem before I do something wrong with the phone.
Thank you in advance,
Olev.

Odin will increase your counter.
Use my method to root. you can then flash a custom kernel via CWM recovery or mobile Odin which will not increase your counter

if you boot your device in download mode, it will show you 'custom binary counter' or so.
The counter is 0 on a new device but will increase each time you flash a custom ROM/kernel/package not signed by Samsung via Odin.
If you go to a service center to claim warranty, the first thing their engineer will first check if the binary counter

I understand what you are writing about stock kernel, but then which kernel should i switch to based upon the details i have posted in my original, could you post link to recommended kernel? I am so new to this that i need to be teaspoon-fed with details, there is so many ROMs and Kernels out there that it is a jungle and the more i read the more confused i get all about this. I read one thread, which again link me to another thread. I think this task or what i need to accomplish should have taken less then 30min(?), but has probably driven me for 3-4 hours. Nevertheless, i enjoy doing research
I like to keep my phone as stock as possible, but with root access so i can gradually remove things i do not want or install other programs.

Samsung has their own recovery on all galaxy device. So you don't need root to boot to it
To boot to recovery,
-Off your phone,
-Hold Volume up + home button + power button together
-Remove your hands from those buttons when your phone lights up.
I'm sure all this info is in that thread.

Hey bud, If you want to check if you are properly rooted or not try updating script in su or download a root only app like titanium backup & run it. If it comes up with a permission request then all good you're rooted. As for the cwm app, many people including myself avoid it like the plague as it can have incompatibility problems with "cwm recovery" which is different to the "cwm app". If you must have it you can download from the playstore, but make sure you flash zips through recovery not the app.
CWM is part of the kernel, so if you want it you must flash such one like CF-Root or Siyah.

Sorry about bro.
First, there is nothing like Clockware
Second please provide answers to the following questions:

-can you still access download or/and recovery mode?
-What steps did you take while flashing the Rom?

Sorry about bro.
First, there is nothing like Clockware
Second please provide answers to the following questions:
-What was your normal ROM details?
-What kernel were you using before the problem occurred?
-can you still access download or/and recovery mode?
-What steps did you take while flashing the Rom?

Thanks for your reply,
First, You right, it was clockworkmod
- I do not have the details of my ROM
- also do not know the kernel (I only know that my Android was 2.2.x)
- Yess, I can put the device in recovery mod and download mod.

Which of the SD are you talking about, Internal or external SD?
You are paying for your own mess bro, next time come over to XDA, search, ask for help before messing with your phone

The newer ICS versions are much better.
I think you should give ICS another shot, I'll assist if you face summit issues

the best way is to flash a custom 2.3.6. ROM, if you desire to keep your root access

can you give a tutorial link
It is worth to invest few bucks in Chainfire's Mobil Odin Pro from Playstore to flash any Rom (stock or custom) with EverRoot option. It is good solution for people with moderate knowledge about flashing, rooting, etc. It's also safer method for those people because there is no chance to screw up bootloader or choose inproper flash images to selected partitions.
But flashing original stock ICS and rooting it is not so hard. It's free but you need to know some basics.
