I didn't say anything about asking questions where you downloaded the kernels.
I said to read the directions provided in the thread where you got the kernels from.
Don't mean to offend, but If you can't follow the threads, then your not ready to root your phone yet,"you will more likely brick it". READ and then READ again..
Dont run before you can walk.
Also, MAKE SURE you are trying to use kernels (and/or firmwares when you move onto firmwares) meant for your phone. If you got these kernels from a thread in the I9100 forums, make SURE you have an I9100 by looking on the label under your device's battery.
I have seen a ton of people flash kernels and firmwares/ROMs intended for a different device, and the results have varied from the device not functioning quite right, to an outright brick that had to get sent back to Samsung.
The easiest way to root your s2 is zegrush exploit, works for me no problem

and you dont have to use odin so flash counter doesnt increase

Im not an expert on phones but i know quite a bit about computers ,ive looked at the threads and followed the instructions and even whatched a video.ive un ziped many a file but when i un zip the kernel i get a zimage file. where i got the kernels from no body has this problem thanks am i doing somthing wrong with this zip file because i cant use it as a zip thank
I was confused too before rooting but you learn quick and understand after you do it. I dont know much myself but I dont think you need to download any kernels to root, at least I didnt. just use the link in my post above and it will be easy, yes it is scary the first time!!!

Pretty much every kernels here dont require you to unzip them, you flash them as they are. As everyone above says, read the instructions. I also know a lot of computers, but sadly pretty much no knowledge of that is useful for phones, unless you know programming.

What thread are you getting the file from, and reading? Cause it REALLY seems you are not following the instructions correctly. The zImage file IS the kernel, but it has to be in a .tar file to flash in Odin. So it sounds as if you've unzipped it twice instead of just once, maybe.
kernels
I was sent to this site from android pit,to get my kernels to root my samsung galaxy s2. i have followed android pit rooting video exactly its not hard but the kernels you get from this site are not the same as on the android pit video. And they tell you to get them from here. why

I just TOLD you what you were doing wrong. I'm starting to think you really have no business doing this yourself.
If you end up with a zImage file, you unzipped it one too many times. Put the file that CONTAINS the zImage file into Odin.
root access thanks
thank mate i was zipping it twice ive just got root access the last message i wrote was before you told me what i was doing wrong thanks
thanks again ive just unlock my phone to any network
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2

I do not know how to root my phone.
I do not know what version of CF-root to download.
I need some steps and the link to the right file to download. I already downloaded Odin.
And i need to know a custom rom to put on it. Simple but stable. I do not need anything special. (maybe more battery and something that i must have on it)
Thank alot.
All the info that you need are posted here.
I understand that i must read to get some help. But you sent me somewhere that is not what i am looking for mate.

I did manage to root the phone. And now i am using SlimICS. Thanks for help.
Care to share how you managed to root your device?
I did a search here. And i found the right CF-ROOT for my device. I used ODIN to ROOT the device. Then i used the CWM to install SlimICS rom. I dont know how to explain more. But if you search in the forum you will find almost any answer. I hope it helped.

First thing search for cf-root for your device. On the cf-root page you will understand how to identify the correct file for you. Download the file. Use odin following details about how to use it. Get your phone in download state. Volume down+power button+home button. Odin will detect your phone. After cf-root its time to install a custom rom. I use slimics look at the forum for it and the way to install it on your phone. I hope this helped you.

If you are on 4.3, there is some info here, but recommend to read all as it is not very clear: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564695
There's a mini guide on the 2nd page on how to create a rooted stock tar file to flash through Odin using a Linux tool to preinstall root. Might be more complicated than you are looking for. Other than that, there seems to be a lot more info on some Japanese sites, but translating via Google doesn't seem to be the best.
thanks

How to unlock Samsung Luna SM-S120VL
Does anyone can post how to unlock Samsung Luna? thanks for any updates or reply...
Do you have the rooted firmware link? I have the combination file for this I'll trade for the rooted firmware. I am also looking for a way to unlock this model. Since I have the combination file and you have the rooted firmware, it should be possible to flash on the pda part and unlocking shouldn't be too far off if someone has the base knowledge of how the unlock works.
I just got this phone and, well i took what i could get lol.. i am not a newbie but i absolutely have a lot to learn. Some help rooting would so awesome! I'm new to posting on forums though. I can't find anything really on this phone. Thanks

Hello XDA Community!
I think this is my first post so yay! That being aside, I've recently bought an Alcatel Pop 4s ( MT6755M processor, 2gb of RAM) and I can't seem to find any guides on the internet nor on xda to root or flash a custom recovery on this device, I can't find any files at all, I've read guides of how to compile TWRP to your device but they all seem to require custom roms so I can't figure it out. I've also tried rooting the device with KingoRoot and pretty much every other one click root app and none of them worked.
I really would appreciate if someone could help me find a guide or a custom recovery/root method that works!
Cheers,
Kamefrede

Hello there welcome to XDA .
Alcatel devices aren't really popular here on XDA unless someone like me or some other dev gets their hands on one. TWRP doesn't require any custom ROMs to build it (technically it does but it's not the flashing kind). If you had root then you could've provided your boot.img and recovery.img and I would've built TWRP for you.
There may be another way to backup your stock firmware in the event you brick in the future you can restore. For now, know that something is being worked on although I don't have this device.

Indeed they do but there are one click apps that work too like Kingroot. If Kingroot doesn't work then more then likely you need to root using a custom recovery.
