Thats better! Always mention some stuff you tried or read, so that we feel you have tried to search and failed.
You can flash Siyah or Philz kernel.
Or if u don't want a custom recovery, use this guide:

According to you , which kernel will you recommend for my phone ? Siyah or Philz or Dorimanx or Jeboo or any other which i am not aware of ..Maybe you've tried many kernels and roms so you have basic idea about that stuff

Sorry, but recommendations are not allowed on this forum. I suggest you try and see which u like.
To be honest, it doesn't matter which u choose, because once u flash a custom rom, the kernel will be replaced.
If ur really confused...
Philz - same as stock, but improved custom recovery
Siyah - custom kernel, more features, more tweaks
Dorimanx - based on siyah, heavily tweaked and tuned
Jeboo - haven't personally tried, but I think its a tweaked stock kernel

Better not to use insecure kernels for rooting JB..
Try this Universal Rooting method.
Use Method 1.

I can't make head or tail of that method 1 given in that link. It says it is for ICS. I want to ROOT for JELLY BEAN XWLSK version only.
Can you just explain in SIMPLE terms. The instructions given in that Link are so COMPLICATED.
I'm sorry if I sound like a newbie, but I have come back on this forum after a long time. Earlier I just used to Root using CF-ROOT Kernels. Where has CHAINFIRE gone? Is he gone?? Can someone give me a link to CHAINFIRE'S Cf-Root meant for JELLY BEAN XWLSK???

Since ur an old member, u should remember that the first rule of XDA is to 'search before posting'.
The Universal method is for ICS & JB. Its also very simple and can be done without the help of a PC. U don't have to wait for CF to release an insecure kernel also. U can flash it in the stock recovery.But best of all, u don't trip the binary counter, nor do u get the Yellow Triangle!

That's EXACTLY what I'm looking for mate! Can you give me the links to some WORKING kernels on XWLSK Jelly Bean? Pls keep in mind I want as close to Official ROM as possible. Someone gave me a link for SIYAH kernel Siyah-s2-v6.0b4.tar which sent my phone into a startup loop. I am looking for a kernel which I can flash via ODIN. Something that works on XWLSK. Can you help?

My friend, I have that link. But CHAINFIRE has not updated it since last ONE YEAR. I cannot see any CF-ROOT kernel there for JELLY BEAN. If not for XWLSK, there is nothing even close. That's why I asked if Chainfire has stopped posting here or what? His kernels worked as smooth as butter. But that page does not have any kernel there which I can use for XWLSK.

Yup, u got that right. Like I said before, we don't use CF kernels for rooting JB anymore. Either flash a custom rooted kernel like Siyah/Dori/Philz via Odin, or use Universal Method.

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.

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.

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!

Isn't that method for ICS instead of JB? You can look for a guide that tells you the steps with Odin (in other words: flash a custom kernel with Odin to give you root access).

Of course there is. Otherwise nobody could use rooted JB-roms. Look for Siyah for example.
Yes, as far as I know the steps are the same.

It does work for JB, but unfortunately u require an external SD card for that.

However, I recommend you flash Siyah v6 b5 kernel via Odin.

Siyah is a custom kernel, but its good too. If you want to root with a stock based kernel, use Philz kernel.
U said u have I9100, right? Or is it I9100G?
Siyah doesn't work on I9100G.

That's a really big mistake mate! If you had done anything related to the I9100 on ur device, you would very well have bricked it!
Both have differences in hardware, and hence use different kernels and ROMs.

i rooted my device with a siyah kernel s2 v6.ob5+ on my samsung galaxy s2 i9100m. and it says on the website that it is not compatible with the cm10.1 custom rom. does any of you know how to change the kernel to something compatible with cm10.1? or do you know any custom rom compatible with this kernel? I AM OPEN TO ANY suggestions and recommendations. my battery wont last more than 3 hours with my rooted samsung galaxy s2 i9100m on official jelly bean 4.1.2. i need a better kernel or custom rom (4.2.2) that is friendly to my battery life. A BIG THANKS.
When u flash CM10.1, the Siyah kernel u now have is replaced by the CM10.1 kernel. So u won't have any issues.
Kernel supporting CM10.1 - Dorimanx
ROMs that Siyah v6 supports - Stock JB, custom JB ROMs based on stock JB (Omega, NeatRom, Alliance etc)
