We're not going to regurgitate stuff step by step when it's been done thousands of times before here over the past two & a half years. There is a thread stickied near the top of Q&A which has a simple root method (and the whole point of having this thread stickied is so this stuff doesn't have to be posted in thread after thread for any n00b who can't search).
If that guide doesn't do it for you, search better. I mean, this phone was released 2.5 yrs ago, hundreds of thousands of people have rooted the phone with info found here, and that info is easily found by searching.
Same Phone Version... No kernel found.
I have the exact same phone description.
I went trought a lot of tread and list of kernel that I was suppose to choose from: I didnt find anything that correspond to my kernel version so far. It might be that I am not a total expert and that I am not able to recognise the proper download or we got a very rare version???
I tried a dozen so far, never work for all the possible reasons.
I know the process, I know all I need to know. I just dont find the one that fits my phone.
shanty31 Did you succeed finding one working? Anyone can only point out the proper kernel I need?
Thats gonna be my christmas present
Its not rare at all.Its the standard build for unbranded UK for starters.
kah!
Are you done spamming the board ? (you do realise mods will delete your posts if they see you're posting crap to get 10 up).

At least hes not moaning lol.......
Ok... not rare. But still. Does that help me?
ANY kernel I tried end up with my phone not booting, boot loop, not switching on.
In ALL the list of kernel I have found so far, not a single one ''look like'' to be corresponding to what I need. Is there something I dont understand?
Yes I am new to rooting, but I have read and try and test.
The only thing I know I am doing wrong is FINDING the kernel corresponding to what I need.
It is no use to post anything if it is only to laugh at me or to tell me obvious things... I have done my homework.
Thank you again gang!

I am still searching for the right kernel version to complete the step to root my phone, but unfortunately not able to do that.
If possible, any one can share the right link to root the above version of phone we have.
Thank you

Hi! I found something that work :
You read that tread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270
In the post #3 there is instruction for a method without using Odin.
I used that file:
PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSZ-OJC-5.15.9-signed
Found at this location in SEARCH section: (or use Google)
http://d-h.st/
Don't Unzip the file, leave it as it is.
I was not expecting using that method... it end up to be easier and faster than Odin.
My phone is now Unlock and work perfectly
Leave me your feedback of how it went with your phone... or any question

Hi,
can anyone point me at an updated functional guide, that instructs me how to root the galaxy S II ?
The threads I've found via google are either outdated or missing information.
This is the info om my phone, which I also was unable to find a kernel that matches this version:

Your kernal is KE7
alright, thanks!
It worked first time, however the information is not correct in that guide, it talks about CF-root, but the file attached is Odin.xxxx
But I sorted it out, since I had read other guides talking about that cf-root and odin, so I just put the dots together.
Now am going to explore what a rooted device, can do, that I non-rooted cannot.
Read the Post 2,3 also, not only 1. Nothing is wrong there.

No **** how many people have ask this!!!!!!
So you know it now and use the search on the right!!!!!
Hello. I came here from the Xperia X10 mini forum, because i just got a S2
Thing is i don't know what to do with it. With the SE it was different, I was a SE user my whole life, so I was up to date with how to do things on SE droids (root, flash with flashtool, etc.). But i have 0 experience with samsung.
I have:
PDA: I91000XWKE2
BASEBAND: I9100XXKDJ
KERNEL: 2.6.35.7-i9100xwke2-cl187606 [email protected] #2
It's running droid 2.3.3 and I cant update with KIES because it gives me windows encountered a problem etc etc... the old send dont send but on windows 7 (x64).
So I would like to flash it to a 2.3.5 rom and root it. Can anyone explain how do I do this? I don't know what and where to search because I'm new to samsung.
So far i have downloaded ODIN 1.85 and a found this "GT-I9100_OXA_I9100XXKI3_I9100XXKI3_I9100OXAKI3" file. What do i do with it? (also explain steps plz).
I never had a smartphone in my life before I got my SGS2, and I managed to flash all the ROMs without creating threads with questions that are answered in stickies. But maybe I'm a genius, not anyone can be one.
So, try here for starters.. or just search around.
install this kernel and read all the texts.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
You should now be root and have cmw recovery, and you can flash pretty much any rom you want.
Not to familiar with teh sony's but i assume you had clockwock mod recovery?
Odin to flash, cf root to flash as kernel to allow root and get cwm, cwm to flash a custom rom as a quick guide on what to search. Generally reading around will help.

Ty for the reply guys. Really apreciate the help and am reading everything you posted.
But 1 thing: witha ll respect, stop acting like I'm using up your personal space, I opened this thread for a reason, because i dont understand sh!t, and reading wont help unless i start to read the very beginning.
When i was at the Xperia thread, i used a program called Flashtool to flash a new generic rom to my X10 mini pro. It also updated the baseband (and basebands where important when i flashed a custom ROM, you needed to have latest baseband and kernel to flash X,Y,and Z custom roms).
I just want to update to the original samsung 2.3.5 ROM with odin (as kies sucks and wont work) and the rest will be easy. Don't want CWM and root yet, just a plain stock 2.3.5 rom. I just wanted to know if i can flash THAT file (first post, long text) to my phone with ODIN.
Again, thank you very much for the support, and will continue to read everything you guys post here.
It's easy to say search for this and search for that when you know exactly what to search for. In my case, I dont even know where to begin. And i would like to finish this "job" in the next 2 hours, as after that its time to sleep :/

No offence mate but when I moved from an HTC to a Samsung based device I was a newb then to, coming from another phone to different methods to another new method I got to grips with everything just reading around.
To answer your questions, yes you can flash a stock rom using odin, all you need is to check out intratechs thread in original development section, as of now KJ3 is the latest 2.3.5 firmware, download a frankenstein version and read his thread which had a guide on what to put where.

Your original post mentioned you wanted to root it hence I gave you the easiest way of doing so is to flash cf root, searching cf root would have given you that thread plus instructions within that thread.

well i flashed that rom i pasted there and it worked. Was simple once i knew i need to put that in PDA and start it.
Yes i know about CF root and will be my next move. Thank you so much for everythingyou posted (again). And will REread every post again for extra knowledge. Need to forget everything i know about SE and learn new stuff.
Hi Folks,
I want to root my S2which is currently on GB 2.3.6 with following specs:
Model : GT91000G
PDA:I9100GXWLC2
CSC:I9100GODDKL1
Phone:I9100GDDKL1
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version:I9100GDDKL1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected]#2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWLC2
I wanted to root without much flashing and here is what I was thinking.
1). Get the insecure Kernel and flash it.
2). Get install SU with help of Galaxy2root.zip application
3), Once rooted flash it with original Kernel.
Now my Question is: For my phone specs:
1). Where I can find Secure Kernel and insecure kernel? Links and name of kernel is preferred..
2). if I flash insecure and then flash secure kernel, will the binary counter increases?
Any other preferred method for rooting ensuring stock ROM is same?
thanks
SAM
Read the stickies. The only particularly important detail is that you have an I9100G. The rules tell you to search before posting, do you really think in the year the phone has been out, no-one thought to ask how to root?

Hey man..given that its a forum..people can ask questions. Lot of time even after reading on forum you may still not figure out whats right for you..so chill.
Help me with the answer...
He did help you with the answer. All the info you're after has been asked for on here hundreds of times before (and answered). If you can't find what you're looking for with XDA search, do a Google search and append XDA to your search terms (do you know how many results I just got with "root I9100G XDA" ?).

Hey boss..Same line of argument..Did u even read my questions..I am not able to find kernel both secure and insecure .. just want to know what kernel I can use..If I am mentioning this it does shows that I have gone through material on net etc.
Help and move on..
Answers for such basic questions are almost always in Development sections (sticky threads, guides and so on). So I strongly recommend you visit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585413 , these users will be definitely more likely to help you. General section is occupied mostly by i9100's users, and sorry but we have no idea about i9100G.
One word. Bull****. I.E - I don't believe you. I absolutely do not believe that I can type those search terms into Google, get all those results, yet you somehow can't.
I know what the issue is here. You can't be bothered reading. You want the information spoonfed to you. We don't do that here. People here are encouraged to read & learn. If you were asking a question that was complex/difficult, I'd be more than happy to oblige you. You're asking basics. Answers to basics are easily found with only a minimum of effort on your part.
That you can't be bothered even expending that minimal effort says a lot. It tells me you'll probably try and take shortcuts when you do work out how to root your phone, and experience on here generally indicates people who do that end up with borked phones.
I am moving on. And I certainly won't be offering any help should you end up borking your phone.
Also, you didn't say please in your OP, which shows me you also lack manners. In fact, your entire OP has this "I want, I demand, give me" smell to it.
You might want to take a step back & reflect for a moment that it might well be (actually, this is certain) that you are the issue here, and not the two people who have replied to your OP thus far.

thank.. I will search..Only reason I am posting here is that I cant post it on Development. Seems Tough to get Original Kernal and insecure. one.. THanks a anyways.
Hey Man,
It may possible that you are subject matter expert and that why you might be senior member.But it doesn't give you liberty to write like this. fact that I am posting shows that I was requesting.
After searching possibly everywhere, I am just asking which kernel etc..it is humanly impossible to all the entries on forum. Doing google only I came to knw the solution I wanted to pursue.
Any ways..I am rest assured that I will never lose my phone by flashing incorrectly.. It will be not because of you but many of other member who are willing to share there expertise without make so much of noise.
No Personal Feeling man..

No bumping threads after an hour :-/ This isn't your personal tech support forum.

Re: which CFRoot kernel to use, pay attention to the section in bold red on the first page of the CFRoot thread which says 'Help ! Which file do I use ?'
If you can't find the right kernel after reading that section carefully a couple of times & comparing it to the details in your first post, you probably shouldn't be rooting your phone.
Alternatively, you can use the Odin version of another pre-rooted kernel rather than CFRoot, tho obviously you'll need to dig around in the development sections for a Gingerbread version of said kernel given you're running a GB rom (if you flash an >=ICS kernel on a GB rom the phone won't boot).
I really dont want to mess my phone, specially efs, i just want to root it... Can someone tel me how to root this asap pls... Can i back up my efs even if not rooted.. Pls help methanks..

You need to keep reading threads until you're not confused. 'How do I root the phone' has been asked/answered here thousands of times over the past 2.5 yrs, I'm not seeing any particularly good reason why anyone should regurgitate this stuff specifically for you (chances are you'll bork your phone if someone just blurts out a bunch of steps you don't understand).
Much better for you/your phone if you take your time, learn, then do. I've seen hundreds of people exactly like you break their phones (many requiring an expensive service centre trip) who haven't heeded this advice.
P.S - Use descriptive thread titles, 'Help here please' isn't going to get your thread a lot of views given how few people read I9100 Q&A these days.
Edit - No, you can't backup your EFS without root, which is by design. Can you imagine how many people would mess around with system files & bork their phones if this was possible ?
Alright, i get it... I was just asking if... I alrady search and search and still confused, sorry if i bother you with that stupid question,.. All i want is to be sure of what to flash, its just that i had rooted lot of phones and tablet and this one gives me headache.. Thanks anyway wont ask anymore..
