Hint: We don't use CF ROOT since the 4.0.4 mess.
Now you know what-not-to search for.

[Q] Which kernal do I need

I have rooted my HTC desire before so I am not totally useless on these things.
I just got a Galaxy S 2 and I want to give it root so I can remove the bloat-ware.
I'm finding this whole kernel thing a little confusing.
I was reading a guide and it said I needed an insecure kernel and linked to the post here with a lot of them in it.
Now if some kind person could help me pick the right one
According to my phone under kernel it says:
2.6.35.7-I9100BUKG2-CL342890
[email protected] #2
If someone could please tell me the most appropriate insecure kernel to install.

Here mate, unzip the last attached file then flash using Odin.
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip
just to be sure
And thanks for your help
Yep. Don't mention it.
ok I really hate to be a pain but it is now rooted but I don't know which secure kernel to flash back on.
I am really sorry for being such a pain

If u don't know i9100 = i9100P+NFC
You can flash i9100 roms on it

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.

What have you done?
You edited your post and made mine look stupid.
Anyway, now that your are still running gingerbread.
Check out CF-ROOT thread under original android development section on this forum, look four your kernel version, and follow the instructions there.

[Q] Basic Noob Rooting Questions

Hi Guys sorry if these questions have been asked a million times but i have read thread after thread and there is just so much different info out there i don't know what to do for the best...
I basically just want to root my samsung galaxy s2 so i can use root apps, not interested in using different roms at the minute, just rooted apps.
I got my phone last week and updated using the Kies update straight away to ICS, by doing this have i made it harder to root as all the guides seem to be for gingerbread and not ICS.
Looking at my phones info it says the
Model Number = GT-I9100
Kernel = 3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505 [email protected] #3
Android Version = 4.0.3
Baseband Version I9100NELP2
Build Number = IML74K.XXLPQ
Any help would be greatly appreciated or even just pointing to the thread that i need to use, or i have messed it up by upgrading to ICS?
Cheers Elroy

for ODIN flash you have to unzip the file to get a TAR file...
If you are flashing first time, read the instructions for ODIN flash carefully...
Goodluck

Really Need Help Rooting S2 I9100P

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

Once you've rooted your phone, there are a number of unlock methods - which a simple search will yield.

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

Hi Jon,
Did you manage to get your phone unlocked?
I've got exactly the same model, kernel, build locked to Orange. Any advice based on your experience on unlocking much appreciated.
Thanks
