Hello Anyone HELP me to root my s3.. .and what ROM will be suitable for my phone... tnx
MY S3 SPECS
Model number
GT-I9300
Android V. 4.1.1
Baseband V.
I9300XXDLID
Kernel V.
3.0.31-288630
[email protected]#1
Build number
JR003C.I9300XXDLJ1
pls send a thread here and downloadable tnx,,,,,
You don't need to change rom to root and there are plenty how too's to do it.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
install exynos abuse and click root
that all
Sigh...Okay here's a quick education.
Nearly every rom you see on here under the GT-I9300 section should work on your phone, the GT-I9300 is the important bit - it is your phone model number.
You will often hear the baseband part, XXDLID, referred to, I believe, as the modem. This is not the stock rom bit.
Search what a kernel is, but don't bother unless you really know what you intend to do by changing it. There are many types of kernel, Perseus, Siyah, Franco to name a few.
The final bit, XXDLJ1, is essentially telling you which stock rom you are on. CyanogenMod, UltimaROM, WanamLite, Supernexus, Omega etc. these roms will all work. It just depends on what you would like to get from a rom..
Just search for how to root for noobs on the forum, or just look in the sticky roll-up thread. There is a lot there. I suggest you read them all.
Start with these:

I suggest you read up a bit more before you attempt anything because you appear a bit clueless.
Seriously. Don't mess around unless you know what you're doing.

Hi there (topic should say GT-i9100G)
Been searching for days to find a way to root my GT-i9100G model. I found plenty for previous builds of my kernel but nothing for this current one.
So I'm at the end of my wits and for the first time in years I'm turning to creating a thread on a forum, getting ready for the flame.
kernel: 2.6.35.7 DELL165 dpi @ # 2
Android version: 2.3.6
Build number is: GINGERBREAD.XXLA1
Baseband version: I9100GXXKL4
I had a i900 from work but after it broke my work phone was replaced with this model and I'm sick of not being able to run ICS on it.
Anyways, wanna get CWM on it, but I'm very green at the whole custom ROM scene, only thing I ever rooted was my 10.1 tab with Odin to flash AOKP's builds :\
Anyways, if anyone has any tip, don't be shy.

You DID mean GT-i9100G, right?
Need to know more, anyways. Build number?
Use super one click
Yes of course, silly me, GT-i9100G is my phone.
Build number is: GINGERBREAD.XXLA1
Baseband version: I9100GXXKL4
I've read others talk about super one click, the reports were very mixed and I think this build will not work, or am I wrong?

I believe SuperOneClick requires an insecure kernel to be flashed to your phone first before using it, right? You just have to make sure the insecure kernel is for the I9100G, and not the I9100. And if you cannot find an exact match for your kernel version for an insecure kernel, you will need a copy of your secure kernel to flash back when you're done rooting.
I'm afraid I don't know where to get these things for an I9100G, however, so you're on your own to look for them. (unless someone who knows this information sees this post and is kind enough to post it to you)
EDIT to add: that said, I've heard of a few custom kernels for the I9100G that, when flashed, will root your phone for you. I don't remember what they are though, you'll have to search for them.
EDIT 2: Found one (superatmos) that has a version compatible with your build.
Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and rooting in general and I've been having a bit of trouble. I've read a ton of tutorials on how to root Galaxy S2's but I'm still struggling to get my head around it all so I was wondering if I gave people the appropriate details if you could point me in a direction of a easy to follow tutorial that will work with my phone.
Model: GT-I9100
Version: 2.3.5
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100BOKK1-CL511356 [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.BOKK1
Also I installed KIES yesterday and ran it today but it says it doesn't recognise my device so that's a bit puzzling.
Thanks in advance.
KK1 is the only one GB version for which neither CF-root nor insecure kernel available for rooting, better you flash another GB ROM from stock ROM link of my signature search for XWLA2,
and find CF-root link for find matching CF-root to Root
Before you do anything, check the sticker under your battery on the chassis of the phone to ensure you have an I9100 or I9100T.
Once you've done that, CFRoot thread. Pay particular attention to the bit that says " Help ! Which file do I use ?"
Reconmended for noobs
you should use zergrush or GingerBreak so that you dont end up with a yellow triangle, its as easy as 1 click
press thx if i helped
Thanks for the help guys. Cabloomi will zergrush work on my phone because I was reading around and people were saying it wouldn't work anymore? Sorry if I have a lot of questions but I don't really want to F up my phone lol.
there are many ways for rooting, but most followed and success way is CF-root
after rooting with other method your second thread will be asking how to flash a CWM take the answer now itself : CF-root and avoid your second thread
Yeah it will work on anything under 2.3.5 and if it doesnt just use gingerbreak

You said this "KK1 is the only one GB version for which neither CF-root nor insecure kernel available for rooting, better you flash another GB ROM from stock ROM link of my signature search for XWLA2," earlier in the thread which I don't understand at all, could you explain more please? Does it mean I can't use CF-root because there isn't a way to do it for KK1 or what? Sorry I'm very new to this lol.
From the CFRoot thread "If there's no match...try finding the closest match." I did say read that section carefully.
CF-root is a stock kernel of the ROM in which root & CWM inserted , the devoloper (chainfire) made this for almost all the Samsung firmware kernel version available, we only need to pick matching one to our Kernel version.
But we dont know why the KK1 firmware is not leaked from samsung, it is not available in the sammobile.com also...
but you can follow the following word of the devoloper:
The XX and OXA identifiers are not that important. Usually a "KG1" kernel is a "KG1" kernel, and that is that. Sometimes (pretty rare) it happens there will be multiple different kernels with the same name in different firmwares, that are actually different. If this happens, they are usually only very minor changes and you should expect them to still be fully compatible. I include the "XX" and "OXA" identifiers so the very advanced users can deduce from which full firmware I have taken the kernel file.
"Don't worry too much, just find the matching download and use it. What if there is no matching download ? You can ask me to make one, but I can tell you right now, I very very rarely make CF-Root's for kernels on request, unless it is the very latest kernel that has been released by Samsung. In the latter case, be sure to let me know. If there's no match and I'm not making one, try finding the closest match. You should treat "KG1" as a number, but instead of 1-9, we have 1-9, A-Z (where A would be 10, and Z would be 35). "KG2" is really close to "KG1", "KF1" is not close to "KG1" at all. I hope that makes sense."
following the above you can try with KK2
which is available in the thread, http://download.chainfire.eu/53/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KK2-v5.0-CWM5.zip
Thank you ever so much guys, I done it and it works perfectly now. I did all this just so I could tweak my phone a bit. You guys don't happen to know any tweaks and what not to make the phone faster/smoother/ etc?
Yep. Read. Research. There are no shortcuts.
FASTEST WAY TO DO ALL THOSE IS JUST TO INSTALL A CUSTOM ROM, I RECOMMEND MIUI, THE LINK IS AVAILABLE IN MY SIGNATURE AND HERE IS THE TUTORIAL VIDEO, DONT FORGET TO SAY THX
Hello everyone.
I am the noob in the video when you create a new account. And I do want to apologize for burdening you with my problems, and also let you know that i appreciate a lot your help. I am still in shock how much info this forum has.
Now to get started and keep it short.
Got a galaxy S2 from 3 UK
with the help of a friend i changed the stock software ( the rom i think) and unlocked it. but i always wondered if the new OS release is better than what i have now.
so, here are the stats i know how to give ( if more are needed, please call me a noob and tell me where to get them )
Model : T-I9100
Android v: 2.3.4
Baseband: I9100XXKH3
Kernel V : 2.6.35.7 -I9100XXKH3-CL479037
Build No : GINGERBREAD.XXKH3
Also I need to tell you that from what i gather from my friend he used this website to get the tools and instructions to do everything.
The phone is rooted (if I didn't say that already). I have:
CWM Manager v2.0
Current Kernel: CF-Root 4.1
Superuser app - not sure if i should write something more
and the rest of the apps are not related.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I would like to achieve (on top of learning more - been reading them tutorials and slang and how to's)
It will take me a while to learn how to do stuff on my own, been using the search button, I know how you guys insist on that . A LOT of the tutorials are about how to go from stock, just wondering if from already rooted is any different. Should I root again, when is the rooting part coming, etc.
And also without practice or trying myself I would never learn, or it would take me a long time.
I very much like the cyanogenmod, although I would also like to see some alternatives. The differences and/or the improvements the other mods bring explained in laymen terms (or easier ones, although i don't think i'll find that).
And here I get confused. As for firmware, does cyanogenmod have a kernel or do i install that separately. Don't understand the connection between CF-ROOT, XXKH, Kernel and ROM. What I'm trying to say is that i can't make the connection between this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and the cyanogenmod. I am looking for a good Kernel/Rom combination. Any advice, I really need your help here.
And as a last note, brand new installed kies with troubleshooting and reinstalled drivers, won't read my phone, although i'm pretty sure i'll search the forum and solve this problem fast.
Also if possible, I would like only LINKS, to how to's and tutorials; although I would appreciate your help any way it comes, I'd like to read myslef, as it is a better way for me to retain information. If you can point me to a thread i can find info that i skipped over would be brilliant.
Thank you first for taking the time to read all this, even if you can't/don't want to help me, I appreciate you giving me time, something you can't take back, very grateful for that. Apologies for my broken English and awkward writing style.

Thank you for all the links. I've been there before, I just got stopped in my tracks by the fact that i cand differentiate between kernel/rom/firmware. And I don't know a list of kernels, a list of roms, and a list of combo's. Or at least some recommendations. I do appreciat your help.

Well that is due to you not reading the FAQS and GUIDES .
Kernel is the bit between OS and hardware .
Rom is the full firmware package of kernel modem and OS .
Kernels are in the DEV section .
Combo is up to you read look learn try are the XDA rules .
Whats best rom kernel posts are banned this is a developers forum you are required to do some work .

Understood. Will follow your advice.
Before installling ROM + Kernel + Radio. Advice sought
Right, so after a couple of days reading up on stuff, I have decided to go for it. So before I actually install something I want to post here what I've decided on and ask your opinion on it.
At the moment I have:
Android: 4.0.4
BaseBard: XXKH3
Kernel: 3.0.30 - NETCHIP -some more numbers and stuff
Build Number: IMM76I
Mod Version : HyDrOG3n - ICS -more numbers
--------------------------------------------------------
And I decided to install:
Radio: XXKE7-Rev_02 (as I read a lot of people were pleased with it, so i want to try it)
And here i have a question: I've downloaded 1 that has 4.7 MB, and a MD5 that has 12 MB. Any help to understand the difference would be appreciated.
ROM: Insanity II ICS 070 - from his official thread I also got the missing fonts and sound pack.
Kernel: Here is where I had most problems being a noob and all.
I was planning on getting Hellcat's Root Kernel v1.25. But here is where i get lost. And believe me i tried to read on it and understand it.
Kernel version must be compatible with ICS rom? That's how I understand it.
Kernel A - Only for GB
Kernel B - Only for ICS
(where A and B are different versions or something, can't figure this one out)
So at the end I would have: Radio XXKE7 + Insanity II ROM + Hellcat's Root Kernel.
Is this a viable combo? Any opinions.
I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE NO SUCH THING AS BEST ONES. I am only trying to find out if anyone tried this combo before and how did they like it.
PS: Although I don't understand Kernels yet, I take any kernel on this forum and then pick every technology they have and google it each one at a time. That's my method of understanding what stuff do. If you can recommend a better one, PLEASE PLEASE DO
PPS:I am really sorry for the long post and the wrong title, I changed my mind, this forum is mind numbing vast and exciting and complex, and I am just a little noob discovering the biggest candy in the phone department.
Thank you all for the time to read this, and thank you in advance for your help
EDIT: I would also like to try [ROM][XWLP9]★ Dynamic v1.4 ★[ICS][Slim][Performance & Battery life][25April] in case the Insanity II is not compatible. But if I'm honest I would like to try it anyway, when i fancy a change in the future.
If this :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182922&highlight=hellcats+kernel
is the kernel you are talking about, it will not work with the ICS rom. Checking the kernel thread, it does not show its for ICS, but just GB.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576355
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555259
Are good options for kernels, but there are more so check it out. You just have to make sure the kernel is compatible with AOSP. Speedmod kernel would have also been a good option, but that is for samsung roms only, not AOSP like Insanity II ICS.
Would you like us to stand beside you next time you take a leak & shake it for you when you're done ?
I.E. Experiment. Try stuff out. As long as you can read/follow instructions you shouldn't brick your phone. If you need to run what you're going to try by anyone on here you're probably in the wrong place.

I have people to do that already, they watch me take a leak and shake it. To make sure I don't shake more than three times. We all know that if you shake more than 3 times you're playing with it.
But what I asked is no different than when people release a new kernel/rom/etc, and 3-4-5-6 posts after that are questions on how it works.
I did not ask for the best combo or something like that. I asked if anyone tried that combo. Granted i screwed it up since I wasn't aware of the compatibility thing. I will check now the compatibility between roms and kernels, although sometimes for a noob like me its not that easy to tell with all the acronyms and versions and numbers. If my posts bothered you soo much, ignore it and you'll be a happy bugger

But that is failure to read the guides and understand and a fail to read the change logs for the different bits .
You would be far better off gaining basic understanding by just flashing a few custom roms rather than attempt to build your own version .Following the rom threads instructions for add ons different kernels etc.
Modem KE7 is very old for starters looks like you have read a few bits from varying places someone says thats good and are attempting to build a mixed up rom with non compatible parts ..

Although KE7 is very old still it emerges as one of the top modems...
recently I tested it with many ICS roms versions, and currently using, very battery friendly, stable and fastest 3g data download compare to latest Modems came with ICS versions.
Hi,
I was wondering what decides if i can flash a ROM or Kernel. I have seen letters like [XXLSJ] <-- What is that?
Also on my device i have Basebandversion and Compile code which has 5 letters in the end, which of these does [XXLSJ] belong to?
Could i flash this ROM that has the [XXLSJ]?
My device info, SGS2 GT-i9100
Basebandversion: XXLQ6
Compile code (this is what it means in my language, don't know what it's called here but it's located in the end of "About the phone" section in settings) : IMM76D.XWLPY
I have read on threads that has some 5 letters and a flashable ROM, that those letters is the baseband, but for example here (in ROM i have atm) it says 5 letters which exactly match my compile code and NOT baseband. (at the download link, scroll down a little bit and you find it in big letters) AND in CF-Root thread CF has made many CWM, why? And once again, what does those letters in the CF-Root thread mean? (baseband or compile code etc.)
I'm am sorry if i sound very noobish, but i've searched everywhere and never found a proper answer to this question. So my only remaining option is to just specifically ask it here.
Thanx in advance!
In order to flash another Rom/kernel you need to get root. Do you have root ?
Yes i have root, but that's irrelevant. I just need to know about what im asking above
Thread-titles with names like [XXLSJ] are about the software-version of Android, not about the baseband. They stand for the version the rom is based on. For example XXLSJ is based on the Jelly Bean leak, and this XWLPY is 4.0.4 (one of the latest firmware updates).
Your 'compile code' and baseband don't have to match. Your best baseband (your modem) depends on your location, but the firmware can be different. So you can run ICS 4.0.4 XWLPY with a XXLPS baseband version (modem) for example. A bit more clear I hope?

Yes you can, as long as you're rooted. You can keep the modem that comes with the rom, or flash another modem (like XXLQ6) through Recovery afterwards. You can search for modems for your country/region on xda (it can provide you better signal).

Calaxy S2 i9100 (international)
stock Android version Gingerbread 2.3.5 not rooted
Baseband version: I9100XXKI4
Kernal version: 2.6.35.7-I9100JPKJ2-CL655700 [email protected] #2
Build number Gingerbread.JPKJ2
no carrier. GSM sim card.
I want to perform the following to my i9100 phone:
1) How to move from the official Gingerbread 2.3.5 version to cyanogenMod 9 ROM. Including, can I install Cyanogen 9 on top of 2.3.5 kernal.
2) Best safe way to backup original stock Gingerbread ROM in case something doesn't go according to plan.
3) How and at what point during upgrade to CM 9 to root.
4) Which is the proper, stable kernal for this CM 9 (dorimanx has been recommended). At what point, during the upgrade process, is the kernal changed. This is a main concern I have.
I have never done any of this before. I didn't want to upgrade to Android 4.0.04 because of potential Super Brick or other complications. Jelly Bean is not an option for other reasons.
CyanogenMod 9 would seem to meet all my current needs for this phone, and is open source)
I have not seen a detailed "How to" guide to upgrade from stock Gingerbread 2.3.5 to CycnogenMod 9, rooting, and kernal install. Just parts of it scattered, a year old. Can someone guide me through this.
I just need a flexible stable everyday ICS level phone. I'm open to suggestions. Please remember, I have not done any of this before. Thank you.
Spoon feeding is not aloud here on xda. Please read them scattered threads for the info you need them put it all together and then read abit more. Learning is the key to xda not just asking then getting what you want. First thing you need to look at is rooting. Good guide on here telling you about root
