Am guessing u want to know how to root ur phone, right?
And as for ur questions:
1. Which CF root to choose for JPKF3?
2. How to flash 4.1.2?
3. Can u change from GB to ICS?
Right?
If that's the case, please tell us if u want GB, ICS or JB 4.1.2?
To flash 4.1.2, or to update GB to ICS, download a stock firmware from sammobile.com and flash it using Odin.

Now, do you want the fast & safe way?
If not, you're gonna have to do some reading.
Well, you should do some reading anywat, starting with doomslord one-click root.

Hello
the reading I do since at least d them weeks, but as I'm new, so I preferred not to risk!
Start for the root if you will allow me:
you correct me if I slip next:
my phone version is the JPKF3
so I must take the insecure version or original located on this link?

This is for rooter and have more option in admin I guess
Once the root perform, will be the jeely bean android 4.1.2 version

Get Mobile odin from play store. If you want that app to root your device while flashing it, get the pro version.
Visit sammobile.com for 4.1.2 ROMs or the official jelly bean thread sticked in the general forum.

It's not too clear for me, I am a novice in the field
you have been of great help to me, it will be good to continue (thank you)
I'll Flash jellly bean version 4.1.2
1 / once the flash set, file cfroot take to the rooter again, since after a 4.1.2 I lose the root I do yesterday!
2 / esct can I recover my data with a backup that I do with kies before when I was with the 2.3.3?
or so it will take any reinstall to recover my data
Thanks for your help
Why don't you do it as I suggested?
It's easier.
Anyway, don't use kies to back up, use titanium back up pro.

Hi,
sorry for my noob question. I´m good in technical stuff but I have less experience in "hacking".
So basically I´d like to downgrade my Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100, 4.0.3) to any Android Version below 4. So 3.2.1 would be the best. Nothing more! No special version, no special themes or hacks. Just a downgrade. That´s it.
The results of my internet research were that I can´t downgrade the Android Version, unless I have a rooted phone.
I know here are lots of guides, but as I said I´m not familiar with that stuff.
Maybe someone can provide me with a guide how to root that phone and how to install a android version?
Thank u very much!!!!
Cant you just go to samfirmware and get something for your region-then flash that using odin.

1. Android 3.x.x is honeycomb which is only compatible with Android tablets
2. If you want to downgrade your android version to gingerbread (Android 2.3.x), then Visit Sammobile, download the firmware for your region/country.
3. Flash the downloaded firmware via Odin
4. Reboot to recovery and perform a factory data reset.

Sounds pretty simple. I´ll try it right now. I found the Android Version I need and also downloaded Odin. I´d just like to know, if me phone has to be rooted for that procedure or if it will be rooted afterwards. Just asking because of the warranty, but as I know one can unroot or unflash the phone to get warranty back, right?
Thanks!
Lol,your moving the goalposts.Root it on 4.0.3(what youve got now) using Rachmat3 guide then flash maybe GB with siyah 2.6.14 kernel.I used mobile odin pro to do that because of everoot function.
First thing to do is make a note of your phones firmware first before you start mucking around.

Hi guys. I have been a frequent visitor and learned alot about android and features. I am ready to root my galaxy s2 i9100
My details are :
Android version: 4.04
Model number gt-i9100
Baseband version: i9100XXLQ6
Kernal version: I9100xxlbq-cl911584

I downloaded
ODIN 1.85
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LQB-v5.6-CWM5
I am not seeing the original kernal file up for download for my version. What else do I need for my root? Is there any advice such as best method and such. Thank you kindly everyone. Mods, if I posted in the wrong section, please move my thread to the correct location.
That's all you need mate. This kernel is declared safe by Chainfire but as any 4.0.4 kernel should not be used to wipe data because of possibility of emmc cap bug rendering your phone bricked. Root with this kernel but make sure to switch to custom safe one before attempting to wipe data.
Best of luck

Essentially flashing using a 4.04 firmware will brick the phone? or is it when I flash, it will be bad to flash using a 4.04 firmware? Sooo confused.
If anyone has the steps what I should do, please tell me. I am worried about bricking.
If I root the phone, when official JB comes out, will I be able to update?
any help guys? The thread isn't very clear what do I do if I have this kernal. Do I downgrade before rooting?
Insted of flashing that Cf root kernel with Odin or Cwm, flash Siyah 4.1.5.

I actually have the same HW version in my new SGS2 and I have checked with eMMC check (downloaded from Google Play) that my chip is safe from "brick bug" :laugh:
Now the question is: which kernel to choose, CF or Siyah ? I'm planning to use CyanogenMod 10 on this phone, does kernel version matter at all in this case ?
/edit:
ROM will be either original CM10 or one of the variants (like HellyBean for example)

If GotBrickbug app by CF said your chip is safe than it shouldn't matter what kernel you use. Safe hardware.
Personally I always prefer rooting with CF kernels that match my FW version. Then if you're still unsure about the chip... flash siyah, go to advanced (while still in recovery) > reboot recovery. Then wipe data with siyah kernel just to be on the safe side. I always keep siyah 3.5.2 (the first transisiontl ics/jb kernel) for those purposes. CM10 built in kernels are all considered safe so that's the last time you'll ever be worried about it.
Best of luck, man
Thank you very much, I ran emmc check and I have a sane chip.
if I flash with the CF LBQ, what is my next step?

Samsung releases firmware in various regions and with varied carriers. So I bet that till it is officially released it will take time but when it does you will get OTA if your are on 'STOCK' ROM. but if you move away to custom rom then you will have to update manually.

To revert back assuming you didn't do backup before, download 4.0.4 firmware for your region on sammobile and flash it using odin.. Then to upgrade it when official update are up just hit OTA, kies, or flash it via odin the same way like you flash 4.0.4..
If you don't have idea how to flash then google it, theres plenty much tutorials out there.. hope it helps
Ohhhhhh. I get it. Flash using CF, or CM 10, use triangle app to remove warning triangle and if I need to unroot, flash with 4.04 (my region) using odin? Sound pretty simple. Am I missing any steps?

Actually I get confused myself hehe, by "Flash using CF, or CM 10" you mean flash what? The rest are ok..
Well, let's put this simple, Flash the CF-Root for your phone then you're rooted now, if you want to flash custom rom such as cm10 then flash it (the cm10 zip file to be flashed on recovery mode and don't forget to read the cm10 instruction before & after flashing), if you want to get rid of the triangle then do it with triangle away, finally to unroot and revert to stock, just flash stock firmware via odin..

Hello People,
Let me begin by stating that I am very very new to Android rooting and custom roms (actually, this is my first time ).
I have a SGS2 i9100G. I have attached the screenshot of my phone software details. I have searched on the internet and XDA but am unable to find or maybe understand how to root my device and install CyanogenMod 10 (JB 4.1). Whenever I reach a post which seems like the way to root my device, it talks about firmwares and modems which are different than what my phone has.
I would be very very greatful if someone can sort this for me and provide some links and steps on how can I successfully root my phone and install CM10 (JB 4.1). Thanks a lot already as I know people will start replying in no time.
Cheers !!

But pay attention to what kind of kernel you flash, because you have ICS, and I haven't checked if the links in the thread are maybe for Gingerbread.
About flashing CM10: just follow the flashing guides on xda, and make sure you download the file for I9100G.

Hey buddy,
Thanks for the reply. I checked the link but it does not says anywhere about which firmware or android version I should be. As the latest update is from March, 2012, I am assuming that this is for Gingerbread with old kernels. I don't feel good about flashing this. Do we have anything specifically for my kernel/firmware?
Thanks for your reply again. Hoping you will lead me to the right path.

I'm don't really follow the I9100G-threads as I myself have an I9100, so for rooted ICS-kernels you can flash through Odin you have to look for yourself (or someone else might know this)...
And what about flashing the official GB-rom with Odin, then root it with the link I send you, and then upgrade by flashing a custom rom..?

Hi, I have given my wife my old white S2 after deciding to get a black one for myself (from Amazon UK). I had managed to root it and put on an aokp 4.2.2 rom (aokp_i9100_jb-mr1_build6 )which works great although I can't remember which site I used for the instructions. So I get my new black one and start thinking about doing the same...
I thought it would be a good idea to update it to latest stock version to start with but OTA update says my phone is up to date.
KIES finds new firmware but it hangs at 100% complete and goes nowhere.
Here are some numbers:-

This BULP8 version looks a bit odd.
I would appreciate some advice on how to proceed...is this a "funny" version?

I am less than newbie with ODIN, flashing device or using CyanogenMod (someone told me about that too)

So with all your honesty and sincerity, which one is more secure and easy to use, ODIN or CyanogenMod?
thanks a lot
BTW, I am downloading the last firmware for my device I9100
It is a zip file so I suppose to must have a ODIN to installed on my device but, before do that, I need your answer for my above concern.
Thread stickied near the top of Q&A has a guide to flashing with Odin.
