Check my guide in my sig (I know it is for CF-Root, but just replace it with Siyah Kernel 4.1.5 that Sun90 linked above in the PDA section. Perhaps you didn't correctly install Kies or kill the processes, all is explained in my guide.

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.
Hello for all,
first, I would thank you tor the big work that you are doing.
I Have a Galaxy SII, rooted with a rom arabic and french ICS4.0. All was good, juste the phoe was hot when speaking.
Yesterday I have received an update to ICS 4.0.3., so the phone is no more rooting.
I used the speed way to root in your forum with recovery mode indicated in you forum
I can have super user, but with the application autostars, I have a message that phoe is not rooted.
with the kernel that I have battery is more spending.
Can I have a kernel that reseolve this problem of rooting and the battery. I would like to continue to use french and arabic.
If I can not install a rom, it is avoid me to loose all data.
My Samsung is
I9100XXLPX

CFRoot thread. Read the whole first page & pay particular attention to the section that says 'Help ! Which file do I use ?' in bold red. If you can read/follow instructions, you should be able to root your phone quickly/easily.

yes wifi is always related to kernel and some times it happens so, try deleting ur network and then reboot ur phone and let the wifi detect ur network again and if its secured one then reconnect using ur netwrk pass word and see

Hello,
To resolve the wifi problem, I put with Odin
First Kernel_I9100XXLPQ insecure
after I put Kernel_I9100XXLPQ secure
Now, I have wifi, access to root, no triangle.
The last problem is CWM, when I opened it I have this message: This version of CWM manager should be used with CF-root v5.0 or newer
CWM opens but I havn't restore and backup menu.
Do I root again with The kernel :
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5
to resolve problem of CWM without having another new problems.
Thanks a lot for your help.

It seems you finally managed to mess up your system .
I do really not intend to be biting but seriously: at this point (reviewing the history of what happened) I can only suggest you restart from scratch by installing stock firmware. Rooting with CF-root is usually just one step without any side effects, assuming you follow all the good advices given by Chainfire.

I'm sorry, it is not a question orf chaired or another. I was looking how to do to resolve problem,
in google, when I searched for wifi problem there was a post indicating that.
So, to have a phone working, if I well understand, I have to flash with Odin the stock firmare (it means I will loose everything?), whre can I find this stock firm.
After, I rooted with Cf-root for LPF (the one that you have indicated it to me)
I'm really sorry and appreciated you help

if u do the same ur phone will be rooted and u can install some custom roms/kernels of ur choice from the siyah recovery and see if it suits ur requirements
after installing the Siyah kernel u will be safe from the 'Brick bug' the v4.0.4 is baned with
u can use 'Titanium backup' or 'My backup' apps from store and backup ur data/contacts on the phone after rooting
u can make a nandroid backup of ur phone with the stock firmware running now , so that in case u need to install stock rom back, u can simply restore this backup from recovery

Please tell me why do you suggest 4.1.5 and not SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1?

thanks this thread's info + this guide at http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/10/17/how-to-root-xwlpw-android-404-ics-galaxy-s2-i9100/ allowed me to finally get off my backside and root my stock optus Galaxy S2 (GTI9100, 4.0.4, I9100XXLQ6) phone
Hello xda-devs,
I rooted my sgs2 a while back , but now with the official release of ICS on my phone , I'd like to update to it.
My questions are: Can I do it without unrooting the phone? If not , how can I unroot my phone along with most of the apps I got that only work on rooted devices?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick response.
It says :
2.6.35.7
[email protected] #k2-21
So I'm guessing ... not?
If you can flash your stock kernel, then you are good to go.
If not, then you can flash the same firmware via Odin

I know this might be a lot to ask , but could you tell me how/direct me to a guide on how to do it? My build number is XWKI4.
I really have little to no experience doing this kind of stuff

2. Backup your important data (Messages, Contacts etc)

Worked like a charm , thank you very much
But I still have a question. Can I still use Apps like AdFree now ? Or do I have to root it again?

You have to Root again. Actually rooting is much easier in ICS.
First, you need to post your Firmware details: Goto Settings > About phone, and post everything you see.

Good. You can flash SpeedMod kernel. Make sure you downloaded the ICS version.

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.
