Hi. I've just updated my phone, S2 into 4.1.2 version. Before that I have my root but after the update, it's gone. I have been searching thru the internet on how to root my specific model but I cant find it because of the difference in baseband. I got the Malaysian baseband version.
Here's my phone's information:
Model number: GT-I9100G
Android version : 4.1.2
Baseband version: I9100GDXLS2
Is there a root for this baseband version ? If got please do help me with it. I need to root my phone

Try to flash a another stock rom : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
And then root that ROM
Would flashing another ROM erase my stuffs in the phone ? Or does it just change the baseband version

Make a backup and try things out. Rooting will not delete your stuff, flashing another rom will.
Try the normal S2 way or rooting, and it should work. There are no specifics in rooting based on baseband, if that was the case, you would have 500 forums in XDA for just one device, all about rooting.
Try it out and make a backup.

Ah I see. Okay if thats the case, I've already boot it into a recovery mode before. But only option i found there is "reboot system, update from external card, update from ABD, wipe data, wipe cache, and update from cache". That's all. I couldnt find my root file like previously when I rooted my 2.1 android S2
Owhyeah, do i have to enable usb debugging for flashing the stock rom and root ?

Ok.. I bought my Nexus S with 2.3.1 installed. I rooted it shortly after deciding I would keep the phone for awhile. According to all the guides I looked through, Clockwork Recovery won't stick unless that one file is renamed..
Well, come to find out, when I tried accepting the OTA update for 2.3.4, I somehow lost stock recovery and have Clockwork still installed. I've been running the stock software, stock kernel, with the bootloader unlocked and superuser installed. I never renamed the file in order to keep my stock recovery, just in case, but somehow still lost it.
I want to update my phone from 2.3.1 to 2.3.4 but I don't want to lose my app data and whatnot so I want to know if it is possible to install the OTA updates via Clockwork.. I managed to find the zip file for the update that will bring my phone from 2.3.1 to 2.3.3 and then the zip file for 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 from Google.
I don't want to flash a ROM, just looking to keep everything mostly stock but with root. I've searched for an answer but must be looking up the wrong terms, as I can't seem to find any info on doing this under the circumstances
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!!

Yes, you can install the OTA with CWM.
Why don't you just install a stock, rooted rom.
It is just the stock rom, rooted and packed in zip ready to be flashed in clockwork rec.

Don't really feel like setting up my phone again and losing my app data.. I didn't mind too much with my G1, but I've got so much junk on my NS that I don't want to lose. Just want to update like normal..
i guess you have two options update:
1 - you could flash original ota from cwm, but you will lose the root and cwm recovery, then you will need to root again, but to root in 2.3.4, you will need to unlock booloader, and that gonna make you lose everything...
2 - you also could try to flash stock, deodexed and rooted zip, but i really don't know if it gonna work (although i don't see why it wouldn't)...

My bootloader has been unlocked, flashing the ota doesn't lock it back up does it? I always thought I only lost root access, but not lock up the bootloader

well, if your bootloader is unlocked you don't have any problem at all! =o)
since you said that you rooted in 2.3.1, i thought you followed the guide to make it without unlocking bootloder.
with unlocked bootloader, that's what i would do:
- reboot in recovery (cwm recovery)
- nandroid backup
- wipe cache / dalvik-cache
- flash official zip OTA for your specific model. you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062
- boot and see if everything is okay
after that, you will lose root and cwm recovery! now you have to root just like you had done before (flashing cwm from bootload and applying su file).
hope it can helps!

Do you have the stock recovery installed? It will only flash the official OTA update with the stock recovery. You can not use a custom recovery like Clockwork Mod Recovery or 4EXT Recovery.
firstly can you get a a signal with your phone since i do believe you got the 4g model?? also have you done a system factory restore before you try to update, you might need to backup either first, maybe it got to do with version or CID on your phone, not to sure never dealt with an international phone before... give more details, like software version and kernel version,

I just got the phone yesterday, so I don't know if it has stock recovery. Can you tell me how i can check this please?
If I don't have it, i could use some instructions on what i need to install.
Thanks.

You could get better help if you would have included your country and the firmware or build number that your current using.
With that said.... goto samfirmware and download the latest firmware for your device. Then use odin to flash the firmware, you should then have latest update and you can then root again.
There are other methodes but I think this is the least complicated.

I know your method and used it a lot via mobile odin, but I used to keep the

I read that flashing the stock recovery will unroot it.

Flashing stock rom removes root .
But latest updates are more likely on XDA or sammobile before Kies or OTA .

I see your updated info except for country that you live in. You may have the newest for your country.
Yes, flashing a new firmware with PC Odin will remove root,.
I have not done it in a while but from what I remember all data remains in tack, just don't do a factory reset.
I do believe that there is a way to install a factory firmware in mobile Odin and keep root but I have never done that method.

unrooting will open OTA update to update the device with 70-80 mb rather than downloading 1 gb

If you don't get OTA, use smart switch or odin. Smart switch is better. It could automatically decides which firmware is the most suitable for the phone. All you need is model number and serial number.

When I say update is like update a dead rom, like XtreStoLite ^^' not an official one. Thanks for your answer anyway
If you are already on a custom rom then most likely you have a custom recovery such as twrp. You can download a rom put it on storage and flash. I always do a full wipe when going from one rom to another (this is essentially a factory reset, so you will lose settings and apps/messages amd so on) but you can do a dirty flash where you don't need to wipe but there are possibilities of issues occurring. If you are on a 5.1.1 rom and whish to flash a 6.0.1 rom then make sure you update your bootloader to a 6.0.1 one.

The point here isn't to change rom by update. I have XtreStoLite I have modded it to be faster but the Base is old. I ask how to update the Base of a custom rom without change anything.
You would have to build the rom from scratch with updated base, as far as I know there's no other way.

That's what I thought so I should start thanks !
This is what is installed on my device: TWRP 3.0.2-3 / android 6.01 (I THINK it's a bit modified rom) / SM-G930FD
I rooted asap I bought it few years ago, I want to update to the latest Nougat version 7.0.0 (I think the 7.1.2 is not officially released, right?)
All I need is stock (slightly modified is also ok) + root and don't mind formatting it to start from the scratch.
What are my options and/or what should I do? Thanks for reading!
Flash the latest stock ROM with Odin, then root.

Can't the TWRP do the same thing? If I flash using the Odin, will I lose the TWRP?
You need to use Odin to flash a stock ROM which will cause you to lose root and twrp.

It's an international unlocked version, does it have a "carrier"? How do I find it? I'm located in Japan and imported this phone.
You can install the Samsung Phone Info app from the Play Store to find out the csc and match that to the ROM.
