Probably the most comprehensive guide to rooting with CF root is here. Do read it, it'll give you all the information you'd ever need to successfully root your phone. Its lengthy, but thats only coz it covers every little detail involved.

The link to the cf-kernels is available there, and with a little help from the search bar, I managed to locate this. you're welcome :

Paulius, hes on gingerbread. He'd have to dig deep before finding a gb compatible siyah kernel version.
That being said, its better to upgrade to ICS from GB before flashing a custom kernel, merely for the sheer amount of dev support now available for ICS/JB. But to each their own..

Correct root file for KI9 kernel
Hello everybody,
I updated my firmware version trough Kies today, from KF3 to KI9.
As I wanted to root my S2 in order to install MIUI, i searched for the KI9 kernel at Chainfire's thread, but didn't find the corresponding file.
I searched the forum and came up with this :

Unfortunately I can not reply on an developers section of the forum, so i thought this was the best place to ask it:
Which kernel should I use in order to correctly root my phone ?

Your link is bad. Has the ellipses in the URL, so it doesn't link to anything.
I can't find a KI9 firmware for the GT-I9100. What is your full model information?
EDIT: I think I see - XWKI9 looks like it is a carrier branded firmware for Belgium, which is why I didn't find it initially. See this post. (which I found REALLY easily with a Google search)
KI9 kernel
Sorry for the bad link, the thread is called : "[ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH, KI, KJ, KK1/2/5, KL1/2/3, LA2 Download" , and the particular post is from "Crucio_".
My full model information is :
Model : GT-I9100
Android-version: 2.3.5
Baseband-version : I9100XXKI4
Kernel-version : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI9-CL630390 [email protected] #2
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XWKI9
Thx for the quick response
EDIT: The link you reffered to is actualy the same thread I wrote in this post . I just would like confirmation about the KI4 kernel being compatible with the KI9 version.

See my edit above.
EDIT: ah. That post I linked is the one you attempted to link.
So long story short, you need the same kernel HeavyLaws needed, the KI4 kernel.
I think i understand
I don't want to keep rambling about this, but I would like to understand how this works.
I noticed that the Baseband-version also ends on KI4, is this of any relevance?
So i guess if you have time, i would like the long story
Thx again
EDIT: doesn't HeavyLaws need the KF4 kernel instead of the KI4 kernel?

Re: HeavyLaws - whoops! You're right. He needs KF4. You need KI4. Sorry about that!
So long story isn't really that long actually. From what I understand, Proximus just took XWKI4, branded it, added their tweaks, and re-versioned it as XWKI9. There are probably more details than that, but I don't really know all of them.
KI9 kernel
I get it
So in theorie, flashing the KI4 kernel should't give any problems cause it's basically the same kernel as the KI9 with some minor tweaks?
Just want to be sure that i won't jam my phone by using this kernel .
Thx for the answers man, I appreciate it

Pretty much, but you can just flash the KI9 kernel back after you get root if you want. Stock KI9 kernel is on this page, just search for the term "XWKI9 Stock Kernel". This will also have the effect of getting rid of the yellow triangle when rebooting the phone.

Please ask Chainfire in his CF-Root thread (you have got the link already) for such a version ...
or flash a newer ROM via Odin (like described in Intratech's thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278) - for which there is a corresponding CF-Root kernel available.

CWM Manager
Because of incompatibility with ROM Manager,
I wrote and included "CWM Manager". This is a new app (as of March 30, 2011). You can find it under Applications -> CWM. It is much faster to use than manually booting into CWM and selecting these options.

Every Andrioid version is safe.
The only kernel that it isn't is 4.0.4.
So there you have it.
And don't even think about asking which ROM should you flash.

Hi all,
It seems to be important to choose the correct ROM.
I have a rooted device with an XXKK2 kernel (CMRoot)
Now I want to upgrade to Jelly Bean and so I need a newer kernel.
But: can't find a kernel for XXKK2.
How can I decide what kernel to use?
And is there an explanation what all these chars mean?
Chainfire mentiones I should care about the KK2 part, but it seems there are no ROMs for ICS on this radio...
Is that true? Is the device too old?
Thanks a lot for your answer!

More info pls go to Settings then about phone. Them details please.
Pedor you dont seem to know basic information,which is resulting in you posting total crap lol.
If you want a rooted JB setup,then go to sammobile and download a jb stock rom for your region etc,then flash philz kernel for jb.

@ OP we don't use CF Root with our S2 since the whole brick bug drama.
We now use ExynosAbuse (ICS only) , SU + BusyBox + CWM or a custom kernel like siyah ir the above suggestion.
You got the EverRoot option featured in Chainfire's Mobile Odin Pro.
