I recently rooted my old Captivate i897 after fixing it like i have 3 others already. But i noticed i have a Baseband version of i9000. Isn't it supposed to be T959? I used One-Click Root then flashed the UCKK4 CornKernel v705.tar with Odin.

Hey all,
Just got the Galaxy S2 Internationl GT-I9100 and I'm using it on ATT in the United States (it is NOT the ATT version).
The info:
Android Version 2.3.3
Baseband Version I9100XXKE7
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555, [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
So I have a couple questions:
1) Will CF-Root v4.0 for KF3 work on this phone? Is there a later version of CF-Root for KF3?
2) Does it matter that baseband is KE7 and kernel is KF3?
3) Does the S2 brick easily? Soft brick that can be reversed by flashing stock with odin (like on my captivate) or hard brick?
4) My plan is to install CF-Root, then backup /efs, and then flash cognition. After backing up /efs, can I just flash cognition using Odin or do I need to use CWM?
5) I noticed that cognition uses the Ninphetamine kernel...will that be compatible with my phone? Will most custom ROMs be compatible with my phone?
Thanks for the help guys! Now that I have an S2, I can use my captivate to muck around with the android source =D
May not be relevant but
How about trying to update to 2.3.4 stock ROM before going root. Personally I don't feel much need of rooting after switching from galaxy 1 to 2. Fast enough.

I've always been a bigger fan of community developed software than stock ROM. Also, I want titanium backup and few other things even if i just stay on stock rooted
I got a Telus Fascinate T959D.
I rooted using superoneclick v1.5.5 because i had no joy with v2.1.1.
Installed busybox installer from:
market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox&feature=search_result
I unlocked using the market app:
"Galaxy S Unlock,2.03,com.helroz.galaxysunlock"
on my T959D Telus running 2.2.
I had to use the 3 steps in the app because it only revealed FFFFFF for my unlock code.
So I am sim-unlocked. good. Now on Bell Mobility Canada.
If I upgrade to KG2 firmware using kies will it be sim-locked again? can I sim-unlock it? How? Are there threads about this? I haven't found any yet.
I havent lost my sim unlock via the Galaxy S unlock from various flashes on my T959D. Unlocked on a custom rom, odin flashed back to stock froyo to CWM flash CM7, odin flashed back to custom rom.
I gave my mom the phone since I upgraded to the SGS2, but the T959D now uses her Bell sim just fine.
Your mileage may vary.
still unlocked after upgrade
I upgraded to KG2 [ Baseband T959TLKG2 ] 2.3.3 Gingerbread using Kies.
It is still sim-unlocked.
Using it on Bell.
Good.
hi to all from a very wet north wales.
we have a problem. just bought a galaxy s2 and wanted to root it so that we can unlock it and then change network provider.
we followed the instructions found elsewhere on this site but the phone does not reboot after using odin3.
could this be because we accidentally tried to load up the wrong kernel? we have tried to locate a copy of the correct one but cannot find one. Should/could a generic kernel work and if so could someone please indicate where to find it
details:
galaxy s 2 gt 19100
original kernal version 3.0.15-19100 XWLET
ANDROID VERSION 4.0.4
odin3 version 1.85
superoneclick vers 2.2
failed kernel was XWKDD
ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY GRATEFULLY RECEIVED

You flashed a gingerbread kernel over ICS! Don't just follow any tutorial you find on net. If you break your phone, they can't help you.
Download Siyah kernel :www.gokhanmoral.com/public/files/siyahkernel/v4/Siyah-s2-v4.1.5.tar
Flash the kernel via Odin.

Hi all,
Im trying to root my sisters S2. Ive read alot of guides and ive rooted several S3's no problem. The guides are all saying to flash CF Kernel with file name same as kernel (I9100PBVLPC) which I cannot see unless ive gone blind through all the reading lol.
Could I just flash the latest PhilZ kernel using Odin? the phone is stock 4.0.3, sim-locked.
Thanks in advance
Nobody help me with this?
Want to root sim locked i9100p
I updated my ISW11SC to ICS but it's now overheating and I'd like to downgrade it, I need the original 2.3.6 ROM.
Thanks, Harrison.
