Hello i hope someone can help, i just got a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100P, I updated over Kies, as it said there was a new update, so i went from gingerbread to what i believe is ics, my phone now says:
Model Number: I9100P
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband Version I9100PXXLPC
Kernal Version: [email protected]#3
Build Number: IML74K.XXLPH
I used Odin and this file: CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5.zip from Here, it went through all the process in Odin but would not boot, (i done the process twice) both times i had the triangle show, phone turned off and would not come back on, i was able to use cwm, and was able to put phone in bootloader. I found a site where i could put it back to normal so i could turn it back on, So what i would like to know is where can i download a CF that works, or if someone knows another way to root my phone could you please let me know, really losing the will to live trying for 2 days to root this phone

CF root might work, siyah does too.
ExynosAbuse is one-click-root (easier, fast & safe).
Thanks for the help gastonw, ExynosAbuse done the job, i really appreciate your help

Hey I'm a complete noob to this sight but I was wondering how I can open superoneclick. I went through almost all the steps to root my galaxy s2 but for some reason when i needed to open superoneclick it does not work even though it previously worked. It sais "unable to find a version of runtime to run this application." I have tried reading around so much but found nothing to really help. My phone is in usb debugging mode and all that stuff. I even tried un-installing and re-installing SOC but still nothing. Even downloading and extracting older and newer versions. Please help I will greatly appreciate it
Have you installed NET.Framework 4.0?

I just tried installing it no luck. One of the only reasons i want to root is to be able to unlock my phone. That's my number one priority right now.
Well Super One Click method is old afaIk. Why don't you just root with Chainfire's method, the easiest possible I've seen,

I can't find the files to download for that. If you can sujjest another thread to me to root my galaxy s2 for beginners I would greatly appreciate it. The more simple the better

What does that mean? Just see what firmware you have, say it's KF3, then just download the KF3.zip file which you will find in post 3/4.
Rooting can't be any easier than this.
Regards.
the problem is I can't find the attached file
I'm a complete noob sorry man. Do you check your firmare by going to settings>about phone ?
Yea, or just press *#1234# and see the PDA version. Find the same in that thread. Why can't you see the attachments? That thread is full of it!
I am so confused where do I press 1234. Which is title is firmware under, is it under "kernel version" ?
where do i press 1234 ? Im so confused. Can you tell me how to check my firmware step to step. setting>about phone and then what title should it be under like "build number' If so then it is KF6 ?
Apparently it's kdd ? I can't find the download for it

Hi
I got hold of a S2 and would like to know if there is a CF-Root option for this phone ... details of the updated phone:

No. If you flash I9100 firmware (rom or kernel) on your I9100G you will brick it. Try this thread.

You mention your links ... but all I see there is:
GT-I9100G_DZKI1_insecure
GT-I9100G_ZCKHI4_insecure
How is this relevant to my version?
How would I know exactly what kernels are in that thread ? Have you read past the first page or searched the thread ? Thought not Have you bothered to search for yourself ? Again, I doubt it.

It's nice to blast when you have the answers ... the forum is for questions ... even in the last few pages in your thread (as this is one of the latest builds) ... people are asking the same question on the version with no answers from you ... so that is why I asked the question.
If you were looking for a version and didnt know where to find it ... Im sure you would love getting a response like this? ... And I have flashed and rooted my tablet and sgs1 ... for this specific build on the s2 I didnt see it ... so perhaps if its not the biggest amount of brain-drain for you ... please could you provide a link maybe? ... It would others find it fast too ... you do have an extensive number of posts ... and a 1st page find for a new version just helps people looking for it .... what you think?
Me provide a link after that little tanty ? Um, how about no ? Not going to happen.

I actually have been searching on the build number and have not found any answer on it. I wouldn't have asked the question if I found the answer. Previously I have found all the answers for my tablet and sgs1 here with no need to ask as I could fine relevant version to flash them and root them. If I don't need to talk to anyone about it I wouldnt ... just with so many versions of phones even the sgs1, it is a risk to get hold of the wrong versions.
Anyway .. too much tıme and effort wasted already just writing the comments on this question. Thanks for showing interest

I have the same exact setup as you. Were you able to find out how to root your phone? I search all through that CF-Root thread but can't find a matching kernel... maybe we should try to do a request in that thread for XXKL4?

Hi .. yes I got it sorted (but not wıth the help or direction from the guys above) ... I now have the g version rooted and flashed (althought I have the yellow triangle on boot - Im not worrıed about that, root more ımportant). If you have pre v 2.3.6 then you can root it without using odin. Odin causes the triangle. If you have not udpated to yet and are on 2.3.5 or earlier let me know as there is ways to root and get the Clockworkmod Recovery loaded without using Odin, thus not increasing the binary counter.
I also have the international version which was pre 2.3.6 so I got that rooted etc all fine this way and then flashed it (from the internal SD to ICS 4.0.3 without increasing the counter).

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately my phone is brand new (1 day old) and I installed the latest Samsung OTA update already (stupid, I know) so I am on 2.3.6 with kernel 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2 and build XXLB1.
I want to get an ICS ROM running ASAP but I'm only familiar with HTC phones and not Samsung root methods. I'm not sure if I can use SuperOneClick or if I have to use Odin (and which kernel to use?) ... there's a lot of info out there but it's really hard to find someone with my exact model/rev and I don't want to brick my new baby!
It sounds like I should use Odin, but could you explain what kernel you used when you rooted? Thanks very much!!
EDIT: Not sure this matters as far as which kernels I can flash, but my baseband is I9100GXXKL4.

Hi ... I had the same concerns ... 1 day old and how not to brick it ... In the end I just decided to go at it and get it sorted. I downloaded the following ROM to flash with ODIN (I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_INU.zip) ... you can get it from hotfile.com (http://hotfile.com/dl/147046000/0697ece/I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_INU.zip.html) ... I loaded it in Odin (phone in download mode) using the PDA option (if the zip has a password, just use the following as the password: samfirmware.com) ... completed and phone is back ... go back to download mode and get the following kernel (MyGKernelV1.1.1_CWM5 i9100G) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327509
Enjoy
just sharing on how we can remove the yellow triangle on boot of G s2..
>Assuming you have already rooted with any rooted kernel (ex: myGkernel/superatmos kernel)
>Run “HC-ktool”. Tap "Dump current kernel", then Tap "Reboot to Download Mode"
>When in Download Mode, start Odin, connect the phone and flash any stock Samsung kernel. Phone will reboot itself after that.
>Run “ktool” again Tap "Flash kernel from /sdcard/zImage" (zimage should be the zimage file of ur rooted kernel...copy this zImage in sdcard), then Tap "Reboot"...done
thanks for the info everyone, unfortunately i had issues with my gs2g (mp3 player skipping, gps not locking location well) and so i returned it. it's a beautiful phone but i thought it was too expensive for me to deal with any issues. now i'm hoping for the HTC one x soon! b
best wishes !

Hey there
I'm fairly new to rooting and I was using this guide:
cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50004972/
but I cant seem to find the kernel that is "similar" or "close to" as mine. I am currently on exact same stats as above:
Model: GT-I9100P
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband V: I9100PXXKI3
Kernel V: 2.6.35.7-I9100PXXKJ4-CL664063 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXKJ4
also I seen people mentioning NFC which I have no idea if my phone has or not, but I do know I purchased it off O2 on "contract", I was wondering if I could still root my phone and which kernel would be SAFE to use
I am willing to speak via Skype (British) to have someone walk me through the procedure if that makes anyone's life easier.
thank you for any feedback :cyclops:

NFC, just google the meaning came with your phone.
Don't follow just any root my phone tutorial on just any site. If you mess up with your phone, those guys can't help you.
The is the easiest way to root your phone, You don't even need to flash any kernel.
good luck

im sorry but i read through that post and got totally lost, i do not see any sort of structure explaining my situation - nor did i find anything to do with the i9100P-XXKJ4 model - which is what im trying to find the correct kernel for =/
the Cnet guy seems the most simplest way to me, if only i had a kernel that i was sure would work - i would have a rooted sgs2 by now.

Swyped from my Galaxy SII
Hi folks.
I've just received a nice new Galaxy S2 from Virgin in the UK. I did have an HTC Desire which was a dawdle to root and install roms on. When it comes to rooting the S2,, however, I'm baffled as to which firmware to use.
The android version is.... 4.0.3
Baseband version is... I9100XXLPS
Kernel version... 3.0.15-I900100XWLP7-CL340913
[email protected] #3
Build number... IML74K.XWLP7
Can anyone point me n the right direction for the firmware and a tutorial?
Thanks
It's just as easy on the s2!
follow these instructions !

It's as easy as putting the phone into download mode and flashing the firmware using odin.
ok i've pinned it down to two firmwares to use from that thread
this one
CF-Root-SGS2_DX_XTC_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
and this one
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
going by the LP7 part that is in my phone but which one do i use?
I think the top one is dxlp7 and the bottom is xwlp7.. better go for the bottom one..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Ok... I'm in the UK but the XEN version seems to be the Netherlands so is it still ok to use it?
sorry if i'm coming across as a bit thick lol but I'd rather be sure I'm getting this right first time so that I don't screw up my phone.

Which kernel to do what ? If you mean root the phone, use Siyah or PhilZ -search for/read the appropriate threads for how to.

Mismatching your ROM with what you're trying to flash, check the second post again.
If all you want is root you can flash siyah v6.tar
