Hi everyone,
I need you help please, I’ve got SG2 GT-I9100P and it does switch it self 2-3 times a day. I did some reseach and the best way to fix it is by updating it and trying another ROM. Thai’s why I would like to update it to JB 4.1.2,
I’ve been searching online and found a lot of reports regarding the update and alot of ROMs and now I am really very confused and don’t know which rom, apps should I use to root and update my S2.
Could anyone please explain how to update my S2 ( step by step) and which files should I use to do this task (download links).
All Infos about my S2 are listed below.
Many thanks in advance

You will lose NFC and we kinda have a lot of threads regarding this matter.
Go to general section and you'll see a sticked thread about LS8 (pag. 750 +).

Hello everyone, I've just recently switched from iPhone 4S to Android Galaxy S II. My phone info is given below:
Model: GT-I9100T
Android version: 2.3.5
Basband version: I9100TDUKJ1
PDA: I9100TDUKJ1
PHONE: I9100TDUKJ1
CSC: I9100TVAUKJ1
I have already followed the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 to root my phone. I used http://download.chainfire.eu/50/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_LUX_KJ1-v5.0-CWM5.zip and used Odin to flash it. I'm now having the yellow triangle which I want to get rid of. According to the instruction, it says "(4) Find an original Samsung signed stock kernel (preferably from the same stock firmware you have, but it's not terribly important)" however, the secure kernel link which I found from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671 does not seem to be listing any KJ1 version. Can anyone please provide me a link for downloading this? Would it be the one here? http://hotfile.com/dl/144715979/1949050/I9100JPKJ2_I9100OJPKJ1_I9100XXKI4_HOME.tar.7z.html
Thanks in advance.
metalmaze,
Your best bet would be to download the stock firmware from Samsung themselves. Unlike many other companies, Samsung has a database where all (or rather most) of their stock firmwares are stored.
Since I'm unable to post outside links on the forum for now, do a Google search for "SamMobile firmware" and click on the first link. You will have to register in order to download any files from SamMobile, but it is quick and free, definitely worth it.
Hope this solves the issue! Best of luck!

Hey omar7os, the link you gave me does not have the KJ1 kernel so far I can see? Also, the rooting part isn't the problem, the flashing of the stock kernel to get rid of the yellow exclamation mark, while retaining CWM v5's features enabled is the problem. I believe this is due to not having the proper stock kernel for the KJ1?

Hey omar,
You're missing my issue here. My issue is not rooting, that's easy. But I'm trying to get rid of the yellow icon by following the instructions which is not working. So I believe I need the stock kernel for KJ1.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 from vodafone. Here are the specs:
Android ver:4.0.3
Baseband:I9100BULP6
Kernel:3.0.15-I9100BULPC-CL332484 [email protected] #3
Build nr:IML74K.BULPC
Now running on AT&T
I want to root this phone while maintaining the stock firmware. Could some help me out I can't seem to find the right kernel to use. I appreciate it (p.s I did like to unroot at a later stage).
thanx
I suggest you go to the i9100 sub-forum and search there, post if need. Do search first.
I recommend the page galaxys2root.com there are very thorough video explanations for every version of SGS2

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.
Hello to every1
I am a newbie to android, I recently bought a GT-I900 and I would like to root the phone and install a custom stock firmware.
phone details are as:
Baseband I9100NELS1
Kernel Version:3.0.31 [email protected] #3
Build number: JZO54K.I9100XWLSD
the phone is also locked to three network UK
Please help me on how to root it and install a custom firmware as I hate all the apps that come preinstalled with.
1) This is a question, so post in the Q&A-section, or ask a moderator to move this.
2) Your android version is (surprise!) 4.1.2, so look for guides to root JB.
3) For further questions: read the whole General section for information.
Damn, the WHOLE general forum?
Boy he's in for a few allnighters
