Hello everyone, I've just recently switched from iPhone 4S to Android Galaxy S II. My phone info is given below:
Model: GT-I9100T
Android version: 2.3.5
Basband version: I9100TDUKJ1
PDA: I9100TDUKJ1
PHONE: I9100TDUKJ1
CSC: I9100TVAUKJ1
I have already followed the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 to root my phone. I used http://download.chainfire.eu/50/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_LUX_KJ1-v5.0-CWM5.zip and used Odin to flash it. I'm now having the yellow triangle which I want to get rid of. According to the instruction, it says "(4) Find an original Samsung signed stock kernel (preferably from the same stock firmware you have, but it's not terribly important)" however, the secure kernel link which I found from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671 does not seem to be listing any KJ1 version. Can anyone please provide me a link for downloading this? Would it be the one here? http://hotfile.com/dl/144715979/1949050/I9100JPKJ2_I9100OJPKJ1_I9100XXKI4_HOME.tar.7z.html
Thanks in advance.
metalmaze,
Your best bet would be to download the stock firmware from Samsung themselves. Unlike many other companies, Samsung has a database where all (or rather most) of their stock firmwares are stored.
Since I'm unable to post outside links on the forum for now, do a Google search for "SamMobile firmware" and click on the first link. You will have to register in order to download any files from SamMobile, but it is quick and free, definitely worth it.
Hope this solves the issue! Best of luck!

Hey |Shadow|,
I've posted a reply in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25489604&postcount=6
Thanks a lot for your reply!
Get the KJ1 kernel from here, read the first post very carefully, follow the instructions to the letter & you should have a rooted SGS2 within a few minutes

Hey omar7os, the link you gave me does not have the KJ1 kernel so far I can see? Also, the rooting part isn't the problem, the flashing of the stock kernel to get rid of the yellow exclamation mark, while retaining CWM v5's features enabled is the problem. I believe this is due to not having the proper stock kernel for the KJ1?

Hey omar,
You're missing my issue here. My issue is not rooting, that's easy. But I'm trying to get rid of the yellow icon by following the instructions which is not working. So I believe I need the stock kernel for KJ1.

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:

Thanks in advance.

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!!!!!
Good Day!
I just picked up a shiney new Galaxy S II from ATT (from my iPhone 4). I've had various Android tablets, and rooted many droid phones (including the Vibrant I had a week).
However I'm unsure which CF-root to use with this baby, and I don't want to brick it.
Under Settings, About Phone this is what is listed.
Android Version
2.3.4
Baseband
I777UCKH7
Kernel Version
2.6.35.7
My understanding is the CF-Root I need would use KH7, but I haven't found one (at least in the CF-Root thread, but its 200+ pages long!)
Any information would rock my world and save quite a bit of time for me!
Thank you!
Hey there
XDA created a new forum for AT&T SGS2 located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1301 I just did a quick check and see a few rooting threads under development you might want to check out. This forum is for the international galaxy s ii so you most likely won't find the kernel you're looking for to root here since its technically a different model with the soft key buttons and all. I believe Codeworkx created a rooting solution over there
Hope this helps
Thank you, not 5 minutes after I posted this did I find the link to the other forums! rock on xda!
I just got it... can u send me the link?
I have the same problem, do you think you can send me the link to download it?? thanks!

Ok, as I have got a little bit time to help you saving time, here are my favorite rooting threads:
1. Chainfire's CF-Root thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root
Please read Chainfire's first two posts carefully before flashing anything.
If you can find the corresponding CF-Root kernel to your ROM (should be "XX_OXA_KG6"), then this is the easiest flashing method and provides the CWM Manager (including ClockWorkMod recovery with additional features for backup, recovery, flashing zip files, flashing kernels, etc.).
2. Intratech's "Quick Root Guide" in his first post of this thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
This is a little bit more manually but works on every ROM (you only need the stock kernel to get rid of the yellow triangle after flashing).
Thank's for helping.Will try tomorrow.

Find any firmware for the i9100 you need at www.sammobile.com, or through the CheckFUS downloader.
Not sure what the fact you have an i9000 has to do with this at all, though...
and with regard to odin and the root?
You want Odin ? Google it.
So far as root is concerned, CFRoot is easiest but do not rush it. Read the first page of that thread carefully, particularly the bit in bold red that says 'Help ! Which file do I use ?'.
If you read it, then come back to this thread & ask "Which kernel do I use ?", that tells me you haven't read the CFRoot thread carefully & you probably shouldn't be rooting your phone/you're at risk of bricking it.
If you do read that thread carefully and follow the 10-12 steps to the letter, rooting your phone is simple & takes a few minutes. There's nothing complicated about it if you can read/follow instructions.
Dear all,
I'm sorry in advance if the post exist but I'm completely lost with the process of rooting and install cwm and new roms on my Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100. I searched a lot how to do it and in the safer way as I don't want to brick my phone.
My phone version is:
PDA: I9100XWKE7
PHONE: I9100JCKE1
CSC: I9100JCKE1
Android Version : 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100JCKE1
Kernel Version: 2.6.37.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725 [email protected]#2
Build number GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
Please help I would like to root and install Jellybean ROM 4.1.2 or 4.2 either Official or Custom on it. If needed install CWM
Thanks in advance for your help
P.S I think it is the International I9100
Please Help...

Doomlord oneclick is tge safest way.
Framaroot app could also work as it's an exynos exploit.

Did you even read the thread ?
Follow the instructions in the thread to upgrade your phone to stock JB, root it, download your custom rom of choice, follow the instructions on the first page of the thread devoted to that rom in order to flash it.
