I cant seem to find out how to root my device with this baseband version
Model Number: GT-I9100
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: I9100BUKI1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100BUKJ3-CL647431 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.BUKJ3
I have seen another post refering to this however somebody replied with a link that doesn't mention BUKJ3 and then the person who posted the thread never said if it worked or not, and i can't even post on the thread to ask if it did so i'd like a pro or somebody whose experienced in rooting this kernel to tell me if it worked
Thank You

[Q] My phone has a special build?!

Hey there,
After 2 years I've decided to root my SGS2, Ive been through flashing with nokia's and that kind of things. However, Im a total NOOB in android rooting.
My problem is the following:
I've updated my phone to ICS 4.0.4 (biggest mistake of my life).
Now I've searched everywhere to find a root manual for my Firmware-version, but I keep coming up with german sites (I'm Dutch).
Google translate does its work like a piece of sh**, so I've lost all of my faith.
After some crappy translating, I read something about a hard-brick of this firmware.
My question is: Wich version is safe to root on my phone?!
Info about my phone:
Carrier: T-mobile
Model: GT-I9100 (ofcourse)
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: I9100BOLP7
Kernel version: 3.0.15-1056084 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 24 17:36:36 KST 2012
Build number: IMM76D.BOLPM
I hope my question isn't a dumb one, if so, I'm sorry!

I want the Siyah kernel, but before I can flash that, I need root! Chainfire hasn't made the file that roots this specific firmware yet, so how do I root it?
Many Thanks

Flashing Siyah will also root your phone. Just make sure you use the correct version of Siyah for your model and version of Android.
You do not need to root your phone to flash Siyah kernel.
When you flash Siyah you will get root. Here's what you do:
#download siyah kernel
#Boot phone to download mode
#Open Odin and connect phone
#put siyah kernel .Tar file in PDA section of Odin.
#click start.
It is extremely difficult to brick your phone flashing a kernel in Odin.
Good luck

[Q] Need help rooting my Motorola Atrix 4g after Build 4.5.1a-129_oly-145

Hi I have been trying to root my Motorola Attrix 4g with not sucess. I cannot find the correct link to root my phone with the Build 4.5.1a-129_oly-145.
System Version: 4.5.145.MB860.ATT.en.US
Model Number: MB860
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: N_01.77.38P
Webtop version: WT-1.2.0-110_OLY-6
Kernal Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #2

I find links for other Build Numbers but not 4.5.1A-129_OLY-145
Some talk about Preinstall method. Where do I find this for this build?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Specific build number/version is irrelevant for preinstall method. Been said before.

[Q] Help! Which kernel to root?! I9100XWKI5

Hi Everyone,
All help appreciated.
I can't figure out which file to use to root the following S2:
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband: I9100XXKI1
Kernel: [email protected]#2
Can someone point the way?
Thanks!
Can't you find like an old kernel from Siyah or CF-root for Gingerbread to root? And do you have an international GT-I9100?
Maybe he's not allow to read the threads.
Oh the humanity....

Honestly I don't want to upgrade to Jellybean if it's not necessary. I just need to know how to install CyanogenMod and which version I need for my phone. Cheers

First you need to flash a CM kernel(it will be given in the CyanogenMod Roms thread) then through CWM flash CM 10(for 4.1.2) or CM 10.1(for 4.2.2).
Edit :
DELETED links since I didn't notice your model number before , and I can't find any official cm versions for SCH-R760. Try searching harder for ported versions.

And don't bump posts after 8 hrs (after 24 hrs is acceptable). You make a thread or a post & wait patiently for an answer.
And you need to understand that because you have a relatively obscure phone few people who hang around I9100 Q&A have, it's only natural that you're going to wait a lot longer for that help for the most part unless it's something generic/that applies to most Samsung phones.
