hi to all from a very wet north wales.
we have a problem. just bought a galaxy s2 and wanted to root it so that we can unlock it and then change network provider.
we followed the instructions found elsewhere on this site but the phone does not reboot after using odin3.
could this be because we accidentally tried to load up the wrong kernel? we have tried to locate a copy of the correct one but cannot find one. Should/could a generic kernel work and if so could someone please indicate where to find it
details:
galaxy s 2 gt 19100
original kernal version 3.0.15-19100 XWLET
ANDROID VERSION 4.0.4
odin3 version 1.85
superoneclick vers 2.2
failed kernel was XWKDD
ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY GRATEFULLY RECEIVED

I think you have installed a wrong kernel.
This page has the last kernels for Galaxy SII. Its a spanish forum.

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

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! : )

I successfully rooted my phone and saved a back up just in case I go back and unroot again. I installed a custom rom which is VK ROM. Now I accidentally erased the back up file from which it has still no custom rom running to it. I was wondering how would I get back to stock rom and stock kernel and unroot.? Please advise. I'm just new so please make it easy for me to understand. Thanks!
Edit:
Just found the official firmware for my phone from intratech's posts.. However the link is not working. I can't download it.
hi
Now I've searched for STOCK ROMS but I don't know which one to download. I'm for JPKJ2. This is the link also from XDA Forum a
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278).
But there are 3 links attached to it. I bought the device here in Qatar. Can someone tell me which from the following links in JPKJ2 Firmware should I download? Because I'm troubled if I go with the link for Saudi Arabia or with UAE.
Thanks in advance!
Edit:
Now I know I should download the UAE version as what I have seen from outside of the box which is my product code. (GT I9100- LKAXSG )

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I recently bought used i717 on Ebay. It is supposed to be unlocked but have not been able to confirm as the standard code does not work. Have not been able to root as superoneclick does not work. Finally got it to connect to Kies but Kies states latest ROM is installed.
When I go to Settings >>> About Phone - Model Number is Samsung SGH-i717, Android Version 2.3.6, Baseband Version T989UVKL1, Kernel version 2.6.35.11, Build number Gingerbread.UCLA1
When I boot up the ATT logo stuff is displayed and there was a bunch of ATT bloatware apps installed, most of which I deleted as I do not use ATT
Don't remember where I was but on one web site about upgrading stated that baseband version should be I717UCLA1, I717UCLF6, or I717UCMB4 before updatingand that It will be I717UCMD3 after the update.
I have discovered that the Baseband Version T989UVKL1 is for an SGH-T989, T-Mobile Samsung Galasy S II, which is probably the reason it won't update through Kies.
I want to upgrade to Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
Have considered Cyangenomod but afraid that with the non-ATT baseband I might brick it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am new to this and it has been very confusing so far.
