[Q] Galaxy S2 I9100T rooting issue

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! : )

What firmware have you installed in your gtab2? LD4?
Some users report that this method does not work anymore on this new fw.
And can anyone confirm if flash the new recovery from PC ODIN will increase binary counter?
Thanks.
I will post a new .tar recovery file which works on the ota updated firmware. But i can do it tomorrow

Root Samsung Galaxy S2 skyrokcet 4.0.4

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket 4.0.4 and I was trying to update to 4.1.1 version but I need to root my phone for that first right ? so I searched and found some links but they involved installing ADB drivers so isn't there any other methods without having to install ADB drivers.
Thank you in advance.
Quit being lazy follow the instructions adb saves lives in the long run anyway

you are not very good at searching my friend
all custom roms are prerooted or have instructions on doing it for their particular rom, adb is not required
each custom rom has installation instructions
for rooting stock read my sig, they are stickies
read the last part of my sig and follow it

Can you please describe exactly how you tried to flash CWM recovery on your device?
Did you unlock the bootloader before flashing CWM?
