Hi I want to root my GT-I9100 without flashing any kernel. I found some thread here to do this on ICS, but I don't know if it is for 4.0.3, 4.0.4, or both?

What do i need to do to install ICS and is there anything i need to be aware of (ie. wipes? etc).
Cheers
I'm pretty sure you could have found this if you had done a little searching but anyway. Just download any ics rom and flash it. If you're now on stock gb and you flash stock ics, you don't have to wipe, same with aosp roms. Otherwise wipe

I've downloaded CheckRom v6 but my andriod version is still 2.3.6. Shouldnt it be 4.x.x if its ICS?
No. XXLA4 is GB ROM - sure it states that in the CheckROM thread.
Please read and search - forum rules.

Your first step should be to go to the i9003 forum to ask and/or find out. You're currently in the i9100 forum.

Why would you ask this in a forum for the Samsung Galaxy S2? Go to the appropriate forum for your device.
I think he was being sarcastic tom.
I'm a new user (quiet new...)
and I don't know if I can change my S II from CM9 to Samsung S II Official 4.0 LPG Rom?
I did a lot of research but still couldn't find the answer...
I watch people flashing their S II from 2.3.5 but no one using CM9...
Could someone answer me?

Yes, just flash stock rom via Odin.
You can go back and forth to and from any rom you wish aslong as its for your device. Which means dont just flash any old **** to your device, read, learn enjoy.
Learn using some stickies
Wipe using cwm
Flash using Odin, but In my opinion flash lpd instead of old lpg

Thanks for answering first~
"go back and forth to and from any rom"? Is that means I have to flash it back to 2.3.5 first? Using recovery?

Learn basically saying to you to research what your after
wipe well basically clean everything to start again
flash basically how you add Rom to your device
LPD LPG LPF LPE are just random firmwares which are around and avaliable for your device
your model number check in settings>>about phone
make sure to flash correct to match your device gt-19100 or gt-19100G dont mix them up.
also you talk about CM9 check the thread for it but i would research it first

So, that means I could now flash my CM9 into Samsung 4.0 LPG Rom directly without turning back S II into 2.3.5 first right?

Yes, as long as you read the instructions of installing CM9. People get problems after installation usually due to not properly installing.
Also it would be best to be patient for replies, instead of posting for an answer just 30 minutes later. Plenty of people wait for replies hours to days later.

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.
Thanks anyways guys! I will try to figure it out

Nope, you can flash the signed SuperSU zip file directly from stock recovery

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.
Hello
I have no experience with rooting and ROMs, but i want to learn! I want to try jelly bean on my sgs2 and i am not sure where to start!
What guides and which ROMs would you recommend for a beginner?
Thank you!
first of all you have to be sure what model is your phone, exactly, like i9100 or i9100G or i9100T
then you have to flash a custom kernel that is already rooted, it must be for your phone and current android version. be careful with that or you can brick your phone, read a lot before doing any thing to your phone
then via custom recovery that is included on all custom kernels you can flash any JB rom compatible with your device
there are so much Jb custom roms you can try and see which is best for you
you can start with cm10 that is 4.1.2 jb rom

I have model GT-I9100
Do you know of any good guides that I should read? It is pretty hard to find out which is relevant for me!
When you say CM10, should i install a clean one, or is it wise to get something like JellyBam? Should I expect it to be unstable and problematic?
Hi,
You can find all the information related to custom ROMs to your model here
And regarding Guides for S2, here.

Hi, guys!
I just got myself a rooted Galaxy S2 and I wanted to get some tips and help
It´s rooted according to "Rootchecker"
My firmware:
Android 4.0.3
Baseband I9100XXLPQ
*version 3.0.15-I9100XWLPD-CL524746
How do I go about finding the official 4.1.2? I would like it to be pre-rooted. Is the versionnumber important?
I have tried KIES and OTA but it doesn´t find any updates... KIES tells me my handset is not supported.. :-/
Thanx for all help
Please have a (quick) search for the official JB-version, it isn't hard to find. Flash it with Odin, there are plenty of guides for it. However it won't be pre-rooted.

Yep, some devices still dont have an OTA for Jellybean. Just flash a 4.1.2 ROM in the developer thread for your GS2 and you are good to go. Always read before you flashing something.
