[Q] help to root Samsung S2 i9100 android 4.1.2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I just make root from this phone with ICS 4.0.4 with your help guys, now I just installed JB 4.1.2 and want to make root again, but the thread I use before it's not compatible with this version of Android.
android: 4.1.2
I9100XXLS8
compilation: JZO54K.I9100XWLS8
Please help me guys ...

So you want your hand held a 2nd time rather than find the information yourself (which is so beyond simple it ain't funny) ? Frankly, that's an indictment on the people who spoonfed you the first time around.

You gotta be kidding me.
Want me to help you look? ok.
Go here, type root jelly bean where it says "search this forum". You might find this thread.
If you don't like that method you can go here, type how to root ls8 xda.
In the results you'll find this and scrolling down the posts this.
Pretty easy if you ask me.

Yeah I can help... USE SEARCH

[Q] The safest way to root Galaxy SII i9100?

Hi there,
Please could someone post relevant information on how to root the Galaxy SII, I have searched a lot of threads and can't seem to find a reasonably safe solution to my question. People say its not possible to root a Galaxy SII lately due to a hardbrick bug in the chip. Please could someone enlighten me on this topic and tell me if it's safe or unsafe. I will post the details on this thread to the best of my knowledge.
Ok here goes;
Model number: GT-I9100
Android version: 4.0.4 (ICS)
Baseband version: I9100XXLQ6
Kernel version: 3.0.15-I9100XWLPT
Build number: IMM76D.XWLPT
Also, I have installed the eMMC brickbug check app from the play store and here is the result i was given;
Brick Bug ? No. Sane chip (no idea what this means but I'm guessing my chip is safe to just flash any Kernel?)
I am just looking to root for now and possibly flash a custom ROM in the near future but at the moment I am happy with the stock firmware but I just want to be able to use Titanium Backup, Superuser & ROM Manager but i am unable to do so until I have rooted my Galaxy SII.
I'm not new to any of this because I previously had a ZTE Blade which I rooted & flashed custom ROMs myself, this was a walk in the park compared to the Galaxy SII. On threads which I have browsed through, some people state to use Siyah Kernel, would this be safe to flash through Odin? Or maybe I could use CF-root.
thank you for reading my post & I'd be so grateful if someone could provide links and/or instructions. Much appreciated!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794, use that, method 1 always works.
oh and if you just wanna be 100% you wont be affected by brickbug, just flash siyah kernel through odin, that will give you root + CWM recovery
In my opinion, you should go for siyah but pick whatever u prefer
Thank you Poroto, I will probably try the method 1 posted by Phil3759. That looks kind of safe but I'll read through that thread you posted first before I decide. I really appreciate your help

No worries, just remember not to wipe anything on stock 4.0.4 kernel under any circumstances.

look for siyah kernel, i believe it is version 5.0.1 then install it with odin. but first, you have to know how to use odin. you can learn that by googling how to use desktop odin. make sure you install samsung kies on your computergood luck.

Follow the instructions in the thread to upgrade your phone to stock JB, root it, download your custom rom of choice, follow the instructions on the first page of the thread devoted to that rom in order to flash it.

[Q] Help please

I have bricked my phone before and don't want to do it again. However heres my specs, I want to root my phone to be able to get 4.4 on S2.
Model Number: GT-I9100

BASEBAND: I9100BVLS4
KERNEL: 3.0.31-889555

Thankyou for your help
First of root+cwm recovery with philz kernel "use search". nandroid/efs backup?? also "use search" then think about 4.4.2
You need to read alot more and less posting. Google is you're friend:thumbup:
You also need to use a descriptive thread title rather than just 'Help please' if you actually want help. Many people won't even look at your thread.
