Hi everyone,
I am trying to root my I9100P, but I can't find the insecure kernel for XXLPP firmware. Can someone point in the right direction to find this insecure kernel. I have found the insecure kernel for the XXLPQ model, but I am not sure if this is the same kernel. I have put below all the details from my phone.
PDA:I9100PXXLPP
Baseband Version: I9100PBULP3
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-I9100PXXLPP-CL674609 [email protected]
Build Number: IML74K.XXLPP
Android: 4.0.3
Thanks in advance for any help

According to that, you can flash either LQ5, or Siyah or Speedmod kernel to root.

insecure kernel for XXLPP (root I9100PXXLPP)
Thank you for your reply. The model in that link is I9100ZSLPP, it is a different model from mine. Can I still use the LQ5, or Siyah or Speedmod kernel to root my I9100PXXLPP?
Thank you

Siyah v5.0.1 would be better I guess.
If you're only interested in rooting and not flashing custom roms, there is a Universal Root method.

I have tried to install the insecure kernel using GT-I9100P_BVKI2_insecure file in the Odin program, everything was ok, but the phone is now stack in a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark. What did I do wrong?
Help please!

That's a Gingerbread kernel.. that's why..
Try flashing siyah first..
If that doesnt work, you will have to flash a stock rom.

Use GalaxSim Unlock app available here on XDA.
Don't forget to thank the dev of that app!
Which superuser app is present now? SuperSU or Superuser?
To unroot it, u would have to flash the stock firmware again. You sure you want to do that?

Flash Philz XXLPP kernel for I9100P in CWM recovery (not via Odin). This is a stock kernel and hence your buttons should function again.
Please wipe cache, dalvik cache and Fix Permissions after u flash this. And remember, the first will takes a long time!

Hi there,
I have a I9100 which was running the samsung stock Android 4.0.4 on the 3 network in the UK which I installed CWrecovery on and rooted. I downloaded an official update via the system update function yesterday and continued installing the update not thinking the root would effect anything, however the the install got stuck on the install screen (like the image attached) while constantly flashing on and off every 3-4 seconds, I pulled the battery after and hour or so. When I power on now it just shows the samsung sII logo along with the triangle and then goes straight back to the android install screen, I also can't go into recovery.
What would be the best thing to do in this instance? would re-flashing a recovery program work?
Thanks for any help!
Whatever happens, DO NOT WIPE DATA OR DO A FACTORY RESET! 4.0.4 is prone to the notorious eMMC brickbug!
Try downloading the new firmware manually and flashing via Odin.

U mean using CF Root kernel to root?
For JB, u can root using a custom kernel like Siyah, using Odin. This will install CWM recovery also and give u root access.
Or u can try the Universal Method to root without installing CWM recovery.

Universal method is intended for those who only want rooted stock firmware, but donot want to flash custom ROMs (no CWM recovery).
Some people have reported issues with CF Root for JB, so Siyah is an alternative. I don't think there are any particular advantages.

I'm currently running Avatar JB ROM (best thing ever!) on my i900p with no problems, but this morning I cracked the screen so it's going back to Orange and I need to return to stock.
My question is can I just flash the stock Orange ROM over the top via ODIN or do I need to flash a different kernel too? I read something about ICS/JB kernels not mixing and the stock Orange is ICS.
Thank you
No need to flash a different kernel. Just flash stock ROM via Odin. You may do a factory reset before flashing also.

Hi, I recently updated my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 from Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.4) to Jelly Bean (4.1.2). I have been using the new OS version for a while now and don't like some of the changes that Samsung have implemented. So I was wondering if there is a way of downgrading the OS back to ICS 4.0.4 (the latest official release). Is there a way to select a custom version in Kies and simply update that way? Or am I stuck with Jelly Bean and will just have to adjust to the changes

To unlock bootloader, simply use your phone. One of the few good things about Samsung is they don't lock stuff down, comes already unlocked.
