Hello, and many thanks for your great efforts here. I have purchased a new i9100p mobile. Now, i want to root then try a new ROM. My kernel is 3.0.15-i9100pxxlps-cl674609, so i have downloaded a root file '' CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5'' is this right?
second thing, after making it with odin, do i have to install superuser? or just root with the above file and i am rooted? and later i can install any ROM.
last question, now i am on 4.03 originall stock firmware, and i want to try custom Rom 4.4.1, is it possible after rooting?
help me please, i am a noob
The CF Root method is meant for the I9100. But since I9100P is almost identical to the I9100 (except for NFC), that file should work. However, I suggest you go for Philz kernels, which includes root kernels meant for the I9100P also.
After flashing CF Root or Philz kernels via Odin, you don't need to install Superuser app. It will be installed automatically. And yes, you can try any custom ROM after rooting, including 4.4.1.

Hi all.
I have sucessfully installed the new samsung official ROM (ICS 4.0.3) via Odin.
I would like to know if it is possible to use the quick root guide described here for rooting the phone using one click root.
It seems that the current insecure version of the kernel for ICS 4.03 is not available but there are guys using CF-Root for rooting the device.
I would like to avoid to use CF-Root, because I do not want the CMW recovery, but I would like to keep the phone as near as possibile as the "standard version".
There is a way to do this yet or not?
If not there are alternatives methods?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
But this will lead to install CMW... something that I would like to avoid (like I wrote in the post).
Having a custom recovery do not prevent the opportunity to do updates via kies?
And moreover, in case of problem, how can I remove che recovery?
you will not install cwm you need this to install the unsinged zip...
Sorry, I have replied before finishing reading the whole thread the recovery is not persistent.
I will give it a try. Many thanks!
Hello,
I rooted my phone easily because i found a CF-Root with the same version kernel. But my friends phone kernel dont match with any CF-Root kernel. His phones PDA version is XWKEB (not KE8 its KEB), its phone version XXKE6. I found CF-Root for only XW_XEU_KE2 / XW_XEU_KE7 / XW_ODD_KE8 versions. Which one can I use for root. He wants a backup before changing for custom ROM, doesnt want to force another ROM with Odin to root it!
Please help me!
Thanks in advance!

Just read the section titled "Help! Which file do I use ?" from the CF-Root thread carefully and you should find a matching kernel.
Dear all,
I know there are multiple threads running for the same, but still i was not able to understand most of the way. Am having SII which is running on Android 4.0.4, I want to root my phone so that i can install Jelly Bean Rom available in the forum.
last i have rooted Galaxy Spica 5700, but it required flashing device with Odin and instillation of a new kernel. But it seems like many new things have came up. Can someone please post me Point by point procedure of rooting my device with ClockworkMod recovery.
Plenty of threads that answer this question in detail. No need for people to duplicate topics or answers.

If you know how to flash kernels via odin its simple. Just download siyah kernel for i9100 , install the drivers required fr odin , flash the kernel in download mode. It will give you rot access and CWM recovery. Then yo can boot into recovery,wipe data/cache and install any rom you want. But do not wipe anything n stock recovery since you are on 4.0.4 (which has the brick bug)
you can also root by stock recovery just by flashing a single .zip file. But if you know the way to do it by odin i suggest the odin mehtod.
and to flash JB....MobileOdin Pro.......so you'll forget about rooting with the EverRoot option........................beware of the wipes with 4.0.4 tho, that crap is nasty.
Hello xda forum,
I'm a total newbie to rooting and flashing Android and I would like to root and install a custom rom based on Jelly Bean.
That would be the AllianceROM i9100 JB V5.2.
Is there a overclocking tool included?
My Phone is a Galaxy S2 european version with stock Android ICS.
Is there a way to root the Galaxy on a Mac, or is a PC with Odin required?
Is it enough to just root the phone and then install the file of the AllianceROM i9100 JB V5.2?
What method is the best to root the Galaxy S2 ( I don't mind losing the data on my phone, backup already done )?
Do I need a kernel or modem or is that all included?
Thank you for the help.
And sorry for the total noob questions...

yes, in sdtweaks that come with rom, there is a section that will allow you to overclock.

You can use heimdall on a mac to flash but it is safer and easier to use a computer with odin as there have been some reported problems with using heimdall.

Once rooted, just follow the instructions posted in the AllianceRom thread as recommend by the developer.
What method is the best to root the Galaxy S2 ( I don't mind losing the data on my phone, backup already done )?
easiest way is to flash the siyah kernal with odin and it will root your phone.
here is the link to the siyah 4.1.5 kernal.
DOWNLOAD TAR (for Odin)
Do I need a kernel or modem or is that all included?
once rooted, kernal, modem and all other files are included in the alliance rom that you want to install.
Thank you for the help.

Before yu start flashing read and understand the flashing instructions throughly to save yourself from mistakes caused by improper flashing.
Thank you for the reply!
I thought that the root method with flashing a siyah kernel was not possible since in the AllianceROM 5.2 thread the following is mentioned:
" Kernel - Philz safe kernel. THERE IS NO SIYAH OR DORI FOR SAMMY JB. DONT ASK FOR IT!!! "
So people who want to install the Alliance ROM on their stock Android 4.0.4 Galaxy S2 should just root their phone and then use the ROM Customizer to install the zip file from the internal sd volume.
Or flash the AllianceROM ICS version with Odin and then use ROM Customizer to install the AllianceROM 5.2 package.
( Which has the Dorimanx Kernel I've heard? )
Ok.
Thanks for the help again.
Hello,
I have read there are many ways to root the 9100P:
in your opinion which one is the best method?
anyone please ?
@LiquidEr you could try framaroot or to flash first an recovery like philz if you are on stock dont forget to find a good kernel/recovery matching your rom since the S2 has both in one and then flash an flashable su zip. Or try to find one flashable root with odin.
Try framaroot first and if that doesnt work find another application that root your phone.
Or try this through your stock recovery if you are still on stock 4.1.2:
