Hi
I have read a lot about rooting samsung galaxy s2 but am not able to figure out how to actually root it. I mean I saw the videos and tutes for the process and it looks very simple but am not able to find which .tar file to use for the CF root.
Its a bit confusing and I would like to know if some1 can help me with my problem. I also went through the forum and found that ppl had problems with rooting i9100T. Does CF Root actually work for these models or its just a trial n error thing.
My phone details are:
model no. GT I9100T
Baseband : I9100TDUKF4
Kernel: [email protected]#2

I'm also in the same situation with a GT-I9100T
My phone details are as follows:
Model: GT-I9100T
Android: 2.3.6
Baseband: I9100TDCKL1
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100TDCKL2-CL767350 [email protected]#2
Build: GINGERBREAD.DCKL2
Can anyone shed any light on root for this model please?
My suggestion would be to CF-Root using this file: http://download.chainfire.eu/35/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KH1-v4.1-CWM4.zip
At least the KH1 is the same as yours...
I have i9100T also but I required KL2 and there is none.
I used KL3 instead and everything worked fine for me.
Best of luck and hopefully yours will be my first thanks! : )

Hi peeps
I have bought a thr33 Galaxy ace. Ive used an unlock code so i can use any sim but im wanting to update and remove the stock branding if its possible. Ive spoke to another guy who said to use titanium. So ive rooted the phone and used titanium to remove all s/ware i can see as apps on the phone but i still have the thr33 logo on start up which i want rid of and id like to install a newer f/ware. After rooting ive tried to update thru Kies with official f/ware but the phone loses its usb connection when trying to update.
Phone details as it stands :
f/ware : 2.2.1
Baseband : S5830NEKA3
Kernel : 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected]#1
Build : FROYO.XWKAB
Its is rooted.
Ive got some iphone JB experience and i can follow instruction no problem so if anyone can just point me in the right direction as to solve my problem id be very grateful.
Thanx in advance
it would be better if u post it galaxy ace gt-s5830 forum

Ok mate thanks. Will do that
Hello everyone, I'm on the Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100. I was following a tutorial on how to root and it tells me that I must find the matching Kernel for my phone. I noticed, however the phone the user is using in the tutorial has the same Baseband and Kernel model. Mine, however, is different. My Kernel says it is model DXKI2, but just above it the baseband model is DXKI1. Now, I don't know if the two are related, but I am just worried that I might cause damage to my phone.
Do the Kernel and baseband need to be the same?
Thanks in advance!
No problem at all, try d00ml0rd's v3 rooting toolkit, it is working very easy.

Solved: I managed to root 2.3.6 incredibly easy after finding this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253707
============================================================
Hello, I've searched posts on here and google to little avail.
I upgraded firmware on my i9001 from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6
However 2.3.6 won't work with superoneclick, z4root etc and seems a hard one to root.
If anyone could provide a way to root it without too much trouble, I'd be most appreciative
I'm stuck with bloatware again at the moment and an annoying number of apps trying to run in the background causing slowdown.
Info:
Model: Samsung Galaxy S plus
Firmware: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: I9001 BUKP7
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.BUKP7
I have the solution plz wait till i return from school and i give you the link to flash Root in your galaxy S+ already tested in my friend phone
