Hi, I'm looking to root my really old galaxy S2, but I'm not sure how to do that even after reading this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505172). I read through most of it, but because I don't know where to go after looking for the kernel that my phone has.
When I look under "about phone" my phone says Android Version 2.3.6, Kernel Version 2.6.35.11-1209942. My kernel version didn't have a "XXK#" so I didn't know what to do, and I'm not tech-savvy enough to know what to do if I mess up. As such, I'd appreciate any, and all help about rooting my phone. Thanks.

Hello everybody,
I got myself my very first Android phone yesterday, and I'm really glad with all of it's features, but I'd like to root it, the problem is is that it's running on kernelversion XWKJ3 and I can't find any thread, post, video, etc about if it actually IS possible to root the phone on this kernel, because according to some videos I need a speciffic kernel to root the phone, and I just can't find any, and I'm out of ideas. I don't know if it doesn't matter what kernel you need, or anything, and I can't seem to find it either.
Thanks already for just taking your time to read this,

Everything you need to know about rooting is here.
Basically everything you need to do to get root, is to flash a kernel, that has root enabled
It's in the 7th post of this thread.

Rooting your phone won't magically make it update past 2.3.5.
Regarding how to root your phone, there are stickies in these forums with all the information you need.
thank you, I understand everything now (at least I hope so.)
I'm new to rooting and phones in general, I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy SIII (SGH-T999L) off the streets I wanted to root it however I keep finding different firmwares and I'm afraid I might flash the wrong one and brick the device, I wanted to see if anyone could point me in the right direction here.
Model: SGH-T999L
Android version is 4.3
Baseband version is T999LUVUBNF4
I keep checking around but not a specific "LUVUBNF4" root firmware is available I wanted to know what is the equivalent of this firmware and where can it with root access already in it, thanks in advance.
