Thank you.

XDA/Google search 'I9100G root', this has been covered here 1000's of times before.

Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35881799
You can do a search & read the instructions carefully. Follow to the dot & nothing will explode. Please take note, yours is i9100G model, totally different with i9100 model.

Hi,
Flash PhilZ-CWM6 kernel from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?k9j877v7k3z7sr8. Go to stock recovery (turn off the phone and press at the same time volume up + home + power) and use flash update zip option. Regards

[SOLVED] Confused as to how to root/mod my phone (sgs2)

I've been reading for the past hours, seen dozens of threads but bit confused on how to root my phone. Or actually, what method to follow to root my phone. Could someone point me to the correct thread? I've rooted a phone before but that was my G1, got no experience with Odin.
I have a Dutch Galaxy S2:

EDIT: I'm going for Philz kernel with this stock rom (This firmware is only for International Galaxy S2 GT-I9100) [YOUTUBE][dot][com]watch?annotation_id=annotation_832793&feature=iv&src_vid=n7b_vJtMSMI&v=hCh76gEmFw4.

Get a kernel (siyah or cf-root) that works with your rom. Put the tar file in the PDA section in odin and flash.

Read the guides/tutorials stickied near the top of the General sections (or search). These questions have been asked/answered here thousands upon thousands of times before including very recently.

That's the one-stop thread for your device. Though if you're having this much trouble searching through a forum, finding your device's section, and think that a general development section is where to post these types of questions, then perhaps you shouldn't be performing such delicate procedures on an expensive device.

[Q] Upgrade to Android 4.3 on a Galaxy S2 GT-I9100

Hi,
Apologies if this has been asked before, but could only find a thread relating to an AT&T version.
I am looking to see whether its possible to upgrade my S2 running 4.1.2 to 4.3.
My specs from the phone are:
Baseband Version I9200XXLS6
Kernel Version 3.0.31-462349 [email protected] hash 3 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 6 02:42.23 KST 2012
Build Number JZO54K.I9100XXLSJ
I understand this is a Philz Kernel?? Will this need changing or upgrading to allow 4.3
Grateful for any advice on a straightforward, easy and stable change if this is possible
Many thanks from a Noob
