Hi,
First time rooting my SG S2 GT-i9100T and I bricked my mobile last night and spent the last 24hrs searching the web for a solution. I finally used CheckFusDownloader_v2.1 as mentioned in one of the forums and was able to down the firmware and unbricked it by flashing it through odin.
I have little to zip experience with rooting and I think I flashed the wrong CF root (used CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5-PROPER.zip ***). I ended up with the yellow triangle and then nothing...black screen. I rebooted several times and no result...tried recovery reset...nothing. Ordered a USB jig online today and soon after found the Checkfusdownloader and downed the firmware.
I can't seem to find the right CF-Root or the right insecure/original kernel to be able to root my SG S2. The youtube vids and other sites seem to require an insure and original kernel....
1) Is there any other (simple) way to root the SGS2? (tried superoneclick...w/o success)
2) Can anyone help me find the insecure and original kernel that I need?
3) Anyone know if the firmware I downed using checkfusdownloader or from samfirmware is the stock kernel? (I9100TDULPB_I9100THUTLP8_I9100TDULP4_HOME.tar.md5)
My Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100T info:
android: 4.0.3
kernel ver: ...I9100TDULPB
baseband: I9100TDULP4
I'd appreciate any help!
Cheers,

Hi there, I am newbie here, actually i was wondering. I have tried many times browsing on googles but it seems that my hard work is being wasted. I root my samsung galaxy s2 GT-i1900G using odin v1.85 with GT-I9100G_DZKI1 inscure by odia..
the thing is, i want to root back to my original..meaning i want to unroot it..how can i unroot back?
i 1st was trying to find the original kernel which is I1900G_DZKJ2 (kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2)
My plan was to find the original kernel and root it back as i did before so it would back to the original 1.
Is it what am i doing is correct?
p/s: I root using odin..how should i unroot back using odin and if what am i saying on top is correct, where can i get the original kernel for the specification given above?
Thx,
Newbie
A XDA or Google search for I1900G_DZKJ2 full firmware or kernel .
Unroot is flashing a non rooted kernel or firmware and if for warranty will also require the custom rom counter to be set to zero via USB Jig .

Hello developers,
Im new in this forum and is searched alot about how to root galaxy s2 and always i didnt understand the topic good, so there are more methods to root I readed for example Odin if im not wrong?
So what I want is some help i need to correct everything step by step.
I want to root my Galaxy s2 19100 and install an custom ROM i heard that custom ROMS can handle better with the battery this is true right? And what about guarantee i heard you can unroot if you note all your settings.
please help me here are my phone settings:

thank you, and sorry for my bad English
greetings Boomreview
No odin it is a flash tool to flash entire rom or kernel.
Kernel are normally rooted so you can flash a tar file in pda and obtain root and cmw to flash custom rom.
To flash you have to put phone in download mode.
Custom rom have different graphics and some feature but battery life is same.
I suggest you cf root kernel to root and gain cmw.
Also to know your firmware version dial *#1234* and check pda

Please read the Quick Root Guide in Intratech's first post of this thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
He describes two rooting method, but as you are running a relatively new ROM, the zergRush exploit method won't work for your phone. (The other rooting method will work fine.)
The easiest rooting method is to flash a rooted kernel, such as CF-Root.
Here is Chainfire's thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root
Stick to his description.
There are a lot of other "good" kernels which will root your phone, increase performance and extend battery life (e.g. SpeedMod, Siyah, NEAK and RedPill).
You will have to search a little bit and then make your own decision.
P.S.: After flashing an insecure/custom kernel, you will get a yellow triangle at boot and the binary counter will be increased.
That's why Intratech and Chainfire also describe how to get rid of the yellow triangle. Or you buy a USB Jig to remove the yellow triangle and reset the counter.
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
DEVICE: Samsung Galaxy S II
MODEL: GT-I9100
ANDROID VERSION: 4.0.3

KERNEL VERSION: [email protected] #3
BUILD NUMBER: IML74.DXLP7
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.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 from vodafone. Here are the specs:
Android ver:4.0.3
Baseband:I9100BULP6
Kernel:3.0.15-I9100BULPC-CL332484 [email protected] #3
Build nr:IML74K.BULPC
CSC:I9100VODLP8
Now running on AT&T
I want to root this phone while maintaining the stock firmware or something better. Could some help me out I can't seem to find the right kernel to use. I appreciate it (p.s I did like to unroot at a later stage).
thanx
Since you're on ICS, just use this. No kernel flashing required.
There's a pretty good guide right here:
Your kernel: 3.0.15-I9100BULPC
Look for the LPC zip file in that thread, that is the kernel you need, be sure to read the guide well.
Good luck.

Thank you for the link. I tried it out and it worked out well for me.
Hi,
I have the exact same phone as the OP:
PDA: i9100BULPC
Phone: i9100BULP6
CSC: i9100VODLP8
I've been trying to root my phone to install a custom ROM on my phone for the last few hours but I keep hitting hitches.
I've tried using the customer kernel posted by nawrejin on this thread, but when I boot up my wifi won't work (stuck on authenticating/obtaining IP); that aside I also have a problem with CWM ('cwm manager needs superuser access')?
If I flash the stock kernel for my build then the wifi problem resolves itself, but returns to being unrooted. I don't have a mini SD card so can't use the solution proposed by ctomgee (rooting without kernel flashing).
Can anyone propose a workaround or solution? I've been trying all night now with no success. And I am a newbie noob noob .
Thanks for any input,
Will
Buy an sd card for a couple bucks.
Try to get the sd card. I I hae found this method very effective. When done you could download neat rom lite by Sale and watch your phone fly.

I understand that mods hate these sorts of questions,
But I can say that I have tried 2 different kernals, both didn't work and I was forced to Re-flash my stock ROM back.
I have searched for hours, none of which were similar enough to my situation to be helpful.
My aim is to root, and just root, my Galaxy S2 I9100T running ICS 4.0.3 on Vodafone Australia.
The kernal version is 3.0.15-I9100TDULPB-CL710191 Please keep in mind that my phone it the 'T' model i9100.
I have tried 2 kernals from Chainfire > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
They were called
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5 and
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5-PROPER
Both of these made my phone unable to boot past the Samsung Galaxy SII page.
I came to the conclusion that perhaps the CF-root method was not intended for the i9100T model?
I have heard good reviews about the Siyah kernel? Although I have no idea which kernal to flash.
If any one has a recommendation on a modded kernel, please give me the actual link to the download as it will save me a lot of time
Any help is appreciated
Search/ look for 'Root SII without flashing an insecure kernel' under Original Development section.
That method should work for you since you are on ICS.
