How can i root this?

Have you tried searching?
Look for rachmat3's method. Safest and simplest one around.

It can be a bit tempremental,but it works.Download a siyah kernel for now(say v.4 in .zip form).
Then
Boot into stock recovery.....
Run rachmats cwm.zip(which is temporary cwm).Use the touch facility to scroll.
Then run the su/busybox.zip file.
Dont reboot,then flash the siyah.zip file.
That should be you rooted (with permanent cwm)and with safe kernel.

If you can't find the 4.1.5 version of Siyah kernel, then you shouldn't be rooting your phone.
Jokes aside

Something like siyah-s2-v4.0.1-cwm.zip.
I only quoted v4 so you would know roughly which one to go for.
The main thing is to get a safe kernel with permanent cwm.
why go hungry when you can be spoon fed

why can't I flash a new kernel I9100XXLPH

Hi guys can anyone tell me why can't I flash a new kernel on my I9100XXLPH (baseband version) pls see attachment for current kernel and rom.
I use CMW to flash the Dorimanx 1.7 update but it says Kernel flash failed! No zImage was found
I followed Cf root instructions and was successful
I also restored this backup from CWM recovery
Thanks!

Don't flash cf-root, flash any other (ex. Siyah), if you can't found kernel for your version of ROM.

If you want to install a custom rom, the easiest way would be to first install Siyah kernel. It was already said above!

JB 4.1.2 leaked root and CWM ready

Does anyone know where there is the current leaked JB 4.1.2 that is in CWM. Just too lazy to use ODIN and having to root the phone all over again. Thx.

has su binary but not sure about superuser app. I think its the stock kernel but I'm not sure... you can do this if its needed but maybe not needed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34180283#post34180283
I mention that because if you want to avoid the yellow triangle and have a kernel that flashes things you can use Mobile Odin or extract the zImage and use hc-ktool to flash the below kernel.
Kernel for flashing; no CWM app though, so need to hold power home and volume up on boot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270

You're obviously also too lazy to search.
Just use Mobile Odin via your mobile, it will also re-root and inject SU etc anyway.

I think you are misunderstanding some things.. You must first root your phone with cf-root AND THEN, you must flash the Rom with the specified kernel. But you can take a shortcut by flashing siyah kernel. You don't need to rely on baseband version.

okay .. so here is what i will be doing..
1> root my phone using the cf root method,(that will be giving me cwm and root)
2> get into the recovery mode and flash cm 10.1.
3> wipe and clear the cache
4> install g apps..
5> install siyah kernel via recovery (the zip.)
6> reboot...
cool enough? should i proceed?

No. Did you read the first post on the CM10.1 Thread?
You have to be running an ics stock rom and then root it.
Afterwards you can then proceed to flash CM10.1.

Hey ma8 first use the siyah kernel v4.1.5 or v5.0.1(tar file for ODIN) form PC ODIN to root ur phone, to get a wrk'ng latest CWM recovery on ur phone
then follow the install instruction given in the CM10.1 thread to install the same, the CM10.1 rom comes with its own kernel that will replace siyah after install

so you mean to say that flashing the siyah kernal will directly give me root? Or will i have to use super one click app after flashing the kernel to gain root? One more thing have you tried the method you gave?
Yes it will, no need for any super one click. Once uve flashed siyah, reboot in recovery (which will now be cwm recovery), make a nandroid before you flash anything. Would be a good idea to back up your apps using titanium backup, your sms msgs with an app like sms backup and restore etc. Then proceed to flash the rom, gapps, make wipes etc.

Hope u must also be aware that the stock 4.0.4 kernel does come with that infamous 'Brick Bug' issue for now(any wipes done in stock recovery of 4.0.4 might brick ur phone)
All i would Suggest is to use a Custom kernel like 'Siyah v4.1.5' which is brickbug free on ur phone running stock 4.0.4 for now to be on the safer side.
and also after installing the same (siyah kernel) u can use its recovery to do wipe's to bring stability and get rid of SOD (sleep of Death) for now
