You may check this website
There are also many useful information about your phone.
Why are you linking people to guides on other sites ?
It's a bit hard for other people here to help this person with that method if they get stuck (as if you're going to be around 24/7). I'm certainly not even going to look at anything related to rooting on another site for that reason, plus chances are the information has been lifted from here anyway.
There is a wealth of information on this subject on this site, please refer people to that in future rather than info off site for such a basic query.

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The threads I've found via google are either outdated or missing information.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.

Hi,
I have searched the forums including the Insecure Kernels Thread but I can't find the answer.
I am wanting to root my Samsung Galaxy s2 but Im not sure which Kernel to Use.
My Kernel is BOKE4 and the closet that I can find on the above thread is BOKE3.
So my Question is, Would it be ok to use this version? if not what other options do i have?
Any help would be much apreciated.
Thanks

Hi there,
Please could someone post relevant information on how to root the Galaxy SII, I have searched a lot of threads and can't seem to find a reasonably safe solution to my question. People say its not possible to root a Galaxy SII lately due to a hardbrick bug in the chip. Please could someone enlighten me on this topic and tell me if it's safe or unsafe. I will post the details on this thread to the best of my knowledge.
Ok here goes;
Model number: GT-I9100
Android version: 4.0.4 (ICS)
Baseband version: I9100XXLQ6
Kernel version: 3.0.15-I9100XWLPT
Build number: IMM76D.XWLPT
Also, I have installed the eMMC brickbug check app from the play store and here is the result i was given;
Brick Bug ? No. Sane chip (no idea what this means but I'm guessing my chip is safe to just flash any Kernel?)
I am just looking to root for now and possibly flash a custom ROM in the near future but at the moment I am happy with the stock firmware but I just want to be able to use Titanium Backup, Superuser & ROM Manager but i am unable to do so until I have rooted my Galaxy SII.
I'm not new to any of this because I previously had a ZTE Blade which I rooted & flashed custom ROMs myself, this was a walk in the park compared to the Galaxy SII. On threads which I have browsed through, some people state to use Siyah Kernel, would this be safe to flash through Odin? Or maybe I could use CF-root.
thank you for reading my post & I'd be so grateful if someone could provide links and/or instructions. Much appreciated!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794, use that, method 1 always works.
oh and if you just wanna be 100% you wont be affected by brickbug, just flash siyah kernel through odin, that will give you root + CWM recovery
In my opinion, you should go for siyah but pick whatever u prefer
Thank you Poroto, I will probably try the method 1 posted by Phil3759. That looks kind of safe but I'll read through that thread you posted first before I decide. I really appreciate your help

No worries, just remember not to wipe anything on stock 4.0.4 kernel under any circumstances.
Sorry in advance for my lack of not knowing anything, I have only just found out what rooting an android device is/does.
I have already searched long and far on how to root my device but I can not find a place that has the exact specifications as I do. It would be greatly appreciated if you can post me a root and link me to a tutorial of how to root it.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 that I am looking to root, I do not care how.
Specifications
Android Version
4.0.3
Baseband Version
I9100XXLPX
Kernel Version
I9100XWLPI
I believe that is everything that you need to know to be able to help me, also if this is posted in the wrong forum please move it.
Any questions? Just ask!
Thanks in advance,
Jack.

look for siyah kernel, i believe it is version 5.0.1 then install it with odin. but first, you have to know how to use odin. you can learn that by googling how to use desktop odin. make sure you install samsung kies on your computergood luck.

......................err....you couldn't find anything about rooting a Samsung Galaxy GTi9100?
Now THAT is amazing.

Hello everyone
I have bought a SGS2 GT-i9100 and i was searching for 4.1.2 frimware for my devie. My PDA It's XXPLQ and i searched it by Samfrimware and didn't found it. My question is: There's 4.1.2 for my device? Or dosen't matter if it it's XXLJS or another version.
I don't know if this is necesary but i'm from Venezuela.
Try to search here. Link

Why would you link someone who has clearly stated they have an I9100 to I9100G firmware ? You do realise a lot of people who ask for help here take whatever help you give them rather literally & tend to blindly do what they're told without thinking ?
I hope for your sake this guy doesn't download one of the firmwares you linked to & flash it, you owe him a new phone if he does.
Edit - OP, you're very confused. There was only one 4.1.2 I9100 stock firmware released for Venezuela, which is available on Samfirmware - VNO - I9100UHMS8. There is no 4.1.2 firmware XXLPQ. You can use any stock firmware from any carrier, it doesn't make any difference. However, you seem to be completely lacking in 'the basics'. If you attempt to flash anything with your current lack of knowledge, you're asking for a busted phone. Read the guides/tutorials stickied near the top of the General section before you do anything.

You don't need to be rude here. Everyone does mistakes. And yeah i didn't notice about I9100, and i already edited the link that i provided before.
