Rooting Galaxy S2 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm going round in circles trying to find this. I have an old Samsung Galaxy S2 that I would like to root. The PDA is I9100XWMS2. How do I find the right kernel to use for this device? So far, all I can find is firmware.

[Q] Problem while rooting samsung GT-P7500

Hi, i'm currently new and i didn't know where i can post my question, i hope it's in the right place. So, yesterday i was so enthusiastic about getting the new android 4.0 ICS via CM9. But the problem is, i'm using Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7500 (3G/WiFi) and now after rooting it, it says under settings that the model number of my tablet is P7510 (WiFi), i cannot use 3G
If anyone could help me with a step-by-step tutorial how to go back my original one (or any indication), i would be very thankful the rest of my life.
These are some pictures of Samsung GT-P7500

[Q] Galaxy ace 2

Hi, I have searched for info for my device but I cant seem to find anything. My question is, does anyone know of a date that I will be able to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy Ace II (on Orange) from Gingerbread to Jelly Bean? Ive searched various sites but have found no specific info.
Dates aren't yet official but u ll get JB!
Sent from my phone's mind.!

Samsung Galaxy Trend

I have a Galaxy Trend GT-S7560 but can't find anything about rooting or modding, like roms etc.
When I search I find things for Galaxy Ace II with the same GT-S7560 number?
I don't get it...?
Why were my posts deleted without notification?
And as stated earlier, i'm also interested in this. I also have a Samsung Galaxy Trend S7560 and i wish to root it in the near future.
PS: Dear mods: if you delete my post again, at least notify me why.
galaxy trend and ace 2x are (near) identical to eachother, but completely different from the ace 2.
You could try this to root it --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35068890&postcount=23
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, i know they are different phones, but for some reason, Samsung is using the same designation name for both of them (mistake on their end?).
I will try this method when the time is right (a little ways further into my warranty).
Quetion: Cmw Recovery
Where I can find cwm Recovery stable for samsung Galaxy Trend Plus gt-s 7580L? I searched many times and I can't find nothing

galaxy s2 stuck at startup scren

Guys,
I purchases a 'damaged' s2 for a few bucks. When it starts, it only shows the galaxy s gt-19000 samsung screen. So i think there is no rom available.
Can i update a new rom through Odin3? If so, which rom should i use and how should i configure Odin3?
thanks for the help.

Hi,
Yes you can flash stock ROM via Odin. If you can boot into the OS after flashing, then you should be able to root your phone then flash custom ROMs via recovery.

Are you sure it's an S2? The gt-i9000 you mention would indicate that it isn't.....
(It *should* say gt-i9100)
If you're *positive* it's an S2 and you are *definitely* seeing gt-i9000 on startup, then somebody has flashed it incorrectly with a Galaxy S(1) rom/firmware.
Not sure if that's going to affect the recovery of the device (partition layout likely to be different).

many thanks for thh reply, i am not positive its a s2, bought it as a s2 though. They both look the same for me. The only galaxy i had was a S3
i do know that , at boot, it tells it is a gt-I9000
What does the sticker under the battery say it is?

It also shows gt i9000

Then it would appear that you have the Galaxy S(1) and not the Galaxy S2.

for all the guides you need to modify your device.....
But as @gsstudios says, first you need to flash your device with an official firmware.....no use trying to root if your device don't boot.....
