Download Odin.
Download Siyah 4.1.5 kernel.
Plug your phone into the computer.
Put you phone in Download mode.
Put the kernel in PDA.
Flash the kernel.
Congratz! You have root. Plus a brickbug safe and great kernel.

DO NOT follow those instructions.
You have an SPH-D710, which is the Epic 4G Touch.
I don't think that Siyah kernel will work on your phone.
You should go to the Epic 4G Touch forum, as Sun90 states above.

Hi All
I wanted to root my phone and flashed XWKDD_insecure to my phone using Odin. After that my phone restarted and now all I see is the Samsung Galaxy S II startup screen with a yellow triangle with a exclamation mark at the bottom.
My phone won't start now
My phone came with the following firmware:
PDA: I9100GJPKH8
CSC: I9100GOJPKG7
Can anyone please help me in restoring my phone?
I'll be really, really grateful.
Thanks,
juzer
I'm not sure of this but I9100G is different from I9100 so XWKDD won't work on i9100g
If i am right you must download a proper firmware for your phone and reflash through odin
Hi Red_Vex
I'm not able to find a proper firmware for my device.
More importantly, how do i get my phone to work...
It has stopped working

You must registrer on samMobile.com and search for Firmwares -> Smartphone ->Android-> GT I9100G-> Middle East and download a firmware for your nations.
Then go in download mode and flash it through odin
Thanks for your help, Red_Vex
Actually I was able to find an insecure kernel for i9100G on XDA and that has saved my life!!
Thanks once again!

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 ?

The flashing guide in this thread is still valid, just not the firmware downloads.

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.
Like the title says, I've updated my rooted phone by accident, now I'm not sure what I can do.
I was told I can install the custom ice cream sandwich rom, and that would let my phone be rooted again but I'm not sure.
I was wondering if anyone can help me go back to being rooted.

Well you lost root probably then, you could flash a CF-Root Kernel if you want to through odin. Just take a look at Chainfire's topic for CF-root and find the one matching your current kernel. Or you could flash like CM9 Ressurection Edition through odin, this replaces everything.

my kernel is 3.0.15-sph-d710, i tried searching for it but couldn't find it, can you help me look for it?
Hmm isnt the SPH-D710 a Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic Touch 4G? Perhaps you would find more answers at the epic Touch 4g Sub forums.

im a noob here but did you check if you had the brick bug ? im on 4.0.4 and i had it . did you flash a different kernel first ? a lot of the 4.0.4 have this bug !
I can get to recovery and download mode both and tried to restore to factory data but didnt help...
No I didnt check that yet. How can I do so? I used the "XWKDD_insecure" which I used before on 4.0.3 and worked well before...

XWKDD is Gingerbread, 2.3.5, I believe. It would never work on 4.0.3.
EDIT: just went and looked - XWKDD is 2.3.3, actually. Even older.
You can download and flash something like the latest Speedmod K3 kernel, which should get your phone up and running, and even root it.
EDIT 2: I see by your activity you are currently reading the thread [GUIDE] And then there was ROOT !... well, at the very top of that thread it reads in big bold red letters:

So I should do exactly the same thing with odin as I did before with the old not working kernel just this time use the Speedmod K3 kernel?
