Hi all,
I am new to the galaxy sII phone and this is a great forum for info and help looking at previous posts, and I have some unix experience.
In a nutshell the only issue I have is which cf-root file do I need and where can I get it from. The latest rooting procedure would also be great, as there a quite a few different ones on the net.
I also found out that you can add root to he stock kernal or get a unsecure kernal. Which option is better? Below are the Phone details, thanks.
GT-I9100 Kernal version is i9100BOKF3-CL255512
BASEBAND VERSION IS I9100BOKF1
CSC I9100TMUKF1
Anyone have an answer, please, please, please.
Try here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 follow the instructions and you can't go wrong
You will find the CF-Root Kernel to match your's in Post 4.
Hope this helps
is this what you're looking for?
if not, you'll probably find answers in your device-specific forum

Hello xda peeps,
This is my first post on the site so here's to hoping I don't break any rules .
I have recently upgraded to firmware 2.3.3 on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with above mentioned Kernel - XWJVN. I know there is a related post in the development section but I am yet to find a simplistic explanation of:
1. How I would firstly root the phone to access superuser rights.
2. What the most useful changes would be to make to my phone once it is rooted, considering I am still relatively noob.
3. Pretty much anything else I would need to know, ie. basic explanations of rooting, roms, flashing etc.
I apologise in advance if aforementioned have been answered to suit a newbie such as myself but I was not able to locate them anywhere on the site.
Any help would be apprecaited peeps.
Thanks

Hi everyone.. i was wondering if someone could guide me in this new world of SCL lol..
i have one with KB1 baseband and i wanted to install darkgen.. will i have any problem flashing it ?
do i have to update the baseband first ?
or i just have to install a rom with my baseband, and that's all i can do to my phone ?
i had a Galaxy 5, and some basebands didn't work propperly where i am (argentina).. i found the original stock Froyo rom with KB1 and just the baseband of KB3..
WHAT CAN I DO ? haha..
thanks
there is no need to create seperate thread for it. there are various guides already available in forum. just use search or see the [INDEX] thread.
Welcome to the forum, congrats on your first post, and your first infraction!
you see, this is a quite active forum with lots of development going on, and theres a high probablity that a general question like yours has already been answered.
Your post clearly shows lack of research/browsing.
And even after going through the various posts you do not get an answer, post in the Q&A section.
heres a thread for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327201.
read, absorb and even then if u dont understand, ask.

Could someone please provide me with the following file?
GT-I9100_XWKI8_insecure.zip
I know it used to be available as a link via FileSonic on the Insecure Kernels post. Although will it and the other kernels eventually all be re-uploaded and downloadable through hotlfile?
Thanks..
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Hi,
to install CWM Recovery and root the tab, you can follow these instructions (point A) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722745
Then if you want to install a custom rom, follow these instruction (this is for CyanogenMod 10.1 but I think it is the same way to install other roms) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052290

Are you purchasing new ? Or are getting this second hand ? The only reason I ask is because 4.2.1 is not the "stock" software at this time.
Mine came stock with 4.0.4, and I have read that they are now shipping with 4.1.1 installed
The only 4.2.1 version currently out is the custom CyanogenMod 10.1 ROM.
May just be a typo on your original post - but figured I would ask just in case

Change the title of your thread to reflect your question. This will help others in your situation to quickly find and learn from your post, in turn hopefully preventing more 'how do I root/flash' threads.

Please review these links for your initial answers these links are in the Galaxy Tab 7.7 General thread section. Searching these threads can be very helpful before you do changes to your Tab. You can then ask very specific questions and should get lots of help. Lots of the people who post to these threads provide superb help if you show and can explain what you did or want to do after a little research on your part. Hope this helps you some.
