Yes, the process is same as for the I9100 version. There are a few threads explaining how to root and flash custom ROMs here. Search and you'll find plenty. If you get stuck somewhere or don't understand, ask here. Good luck

Just flash one of these kernels that matches your firmware.
Thx Bro....
me go study 1st how to root
Just rooted my SGS2 using the DooMLORD easy rooting application.
Superb piece of software.
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 ( Indian ) in a flat 4minutes. I was very nervous in rooting the phone having bricked my Samsung i780 in flashing custom ROM and having sent my Omnia i900 nearly to death flashing a custom ROM .... but then the thrill of rooting and modifying the device got better of me and I did it in a flat record time of 4 minutes.
The option of unrooting is an added benefit.

hi everybody,
has anyone tried this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399. does it works for i9100G?
guys, bare in mind that this guy is using I9100 G .. The G model is not the same like our I9100 ..
can anyone confirm the Doomlord tool is working with I1900 G model ? G . G . G.
To root an I9100G, flash with the rom from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671
In the first post, search for I9100G. There are two version, DZKI1 and ZCKH4. Flash the one matching your firmware. However, only the KH4 one has clockworkmod recovery. The KI1 one only has the standard recovery. If you want clockworkmod with KI1 kernel, you can use my kernel from here:

Note, your phone is a i9100G so almost everything on this forum wont work on your phone.
The easiest way to root would be to flash this kernel, and if you want a custom rom, this rom.
They are the only custom kernel/rom for the i9100G
So just download it and flash it It wont stuck ? cuz it stucked last time on the start up screen ?
And bare with me cuz we all start at a point when i use the odin what do use pda or csc phone or bootloader ?

If you want to *just* root and dont want to flash a custom kernel, this thread has a full guide
Im sorry, im not going to type out the info in the linked thread again.. its very easy to follow.
If you want to flash the kernel;
1) Download the file, it should be a .tar
2) download odin
3) download and install drivers (if you have kies and drivers installed kill kies from task manager)
4) put phone into download mode (power off, press+hold home+voldown then press power)
5) open odin
6) Connect the USB cable and wait for the ID:COM section to turn yellow#
7) put kernel in the PDA box
8) hit flash
Many many thanks brother ive just rooted it and i hope u put this method in the forums for guys like me lol
And just a last Q what do i use roms and custom kernel for ?

Custom kernels add: CWM recovery, flash zips, nandroid full phone backups, any other features in the kernel.
Custom roms: Any mods/themes/etc in the rom, read the two threads and see if you want any of the features.

If you have a Note, why are you looking in the Galaxy SII forum for ROMs? Go to the Note forum. But make sure you go to the specific Note forum for your particular model.

Isn't there any update.zip available that can be flashed via recovery ??
Or any PC software such as SuperOneClick ??
I9100G root kernels here, which you can flash by following the guide here. SuperOneClick, don't know a lot about it as I've never used it, search on here for the thread.
No, there is nothing you can flash from standard Android recovery to root your phone.
Before I start, I just want to say I am completely new to the forums and this site in general, but look forward to being a part of the community. Cheers. :good:
Being a complete idiot at technology, I cannot seem to figure out how to root my Samsung Galaxy SII. The details of it are:
- Model Number: GT - I9100
- Android Version: 4.0.3 (ICS)
- Baseband Version: I9100DXLPA
- Kernel Version: [email protected] #3
- Build Number: IML74K.DXLPB
Can any kind soul provide this lonely fool on how to root his SGSII or a forum thread to how to? It seems that my baseband version is different and I cannot seem to find a root that works for it
Anyway, thanks in advance!
Hi,
Welcome to XDA.
You can learn how to root your SII running on ICS here.
Check this out.
One simple advice, read (or repeatedly reading) before asking any question. In xda, there are more than enough guides for rooting, probably more than my underwears.

Does both of this links work for my baseband version and kernel version? Is it universal?
FYI, the baseband have nothing to do with rooting, it is commonly known as the "Modem". You only need to pay attention to the firmware (aka ROM) and the kernel. Read the whole guide, understand the risk of not following instruction before you attempt to start anything.
Edit: Using CWM to root will not give you Yellow Triangle nor increase in binary counter, because it doesn't need you to flash an insecure kernel. (which is the method 1)
Use method 1 from 1st guide in my signature. You don't need CWM and it works for all ICS ROMs.

Technically, you still need CWM, albeit for temporary usage.

Yes it does. As stated by Zedomax in the site - roots Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 on ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0+)
If you want more credibility, I rooted my phone successfully with similar specs as yours using that guide.
Dear Developers and friends,
I am using SGSII I9100 international version. I recently flashed it with official 4.1.2 Australian version using ODIN.

Frankly, no, it's not all necessary, but if you follow that guide you should be ok.
The important thing to understand is that these days, the recovery on the i9100 is using the recovery partition; whereas before the recovery was bundled with the kernel. So if you are attempting to install and use TWRP 3.x(recommended), you need a kernel installed that has "isorec" support. Please take your time to read up and understand before you go flashing stuff You will also need to repartition, as is mentioned in the updating thread I linked earlier.
- Isorec thread(read also the github link in the thread)
- TWRP thread
