Rooted successfully my sgs2 I91000...thnx bro....it helps lot..Kudos
Hi, I followed the instructions but when I try to apply update from external storage I get an error message that "/sdcard" not found. Indeed, my file is called "/storage/sdcard0/". Is there a way to fix this?
@misticgoddess
Are you placed the file on external sdcard ?(not your phones internal memmory)...!if no, You must place the root zip in external sdcard.
is there any way to update from internal sd
@above
sorry...no
Hi
Only 2 people tested this method?
I'm waiting for next estimates. PLEASE
And ... How unrooting later if necessary?
Rooted successfully thank you very much.
Thank you
!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, Rooted my S2, after using your Method of updating to Jellybean, so now the phone has Root but, unlike in the past, I cannot find CWM [Clockworkmod] file or folder--is it included in the Root package?? I would have thought so, since it is a CWM Zip file but I cannot find on my phone.
@above
if you rooted using the method provided here... the root package also installs CWM ....check it by booting to recovery ( Volume up + Home + Power )
do i need to enable "usb debugging mode" before aooly this to my sgs 2 i9100???
Perfect!
Thank you very much!
i am a newbie .. so what exactly is this Clockworkmod ? i hope it doesn't affects my actual version of android?
@Umer Khalid
No need to enable USB debugging.
@Andrew
Clockworkmod is a custome recovery for android ....it have more options than stock recovery...by default you are a Guest user of your mobile...rooting will convert you to Admin user
very thankful to you :) rooted successfully on my samsung galaxy s2 i9100
thnx very much....
rooted without any problems
Works like a charm. Thanks a lot!

Dear Sabeer,
Thanks for your information but if i update my phone to 4.1.2 XXLSJ by following your instruction, then root it. will it be ok?
What version of S2 is this root for? Will it work for all or just some?
The rooting works great.

I would so much appreciate ANY help, but as far as i have read there is no hope in this.
Happy new year folks.
@Zach Perez

I am new to phone modification and I recently bought a Galaxy S2 HD LTE. I've only used the phone for 5 days and I haven't done any modification on it yet. I would like to know if I can use this for my phone. I've been looking online the past few days and I saw something that says you can't root 4.1.2 if you don't have model# I9100. I don't have that model. I have model SHV-E120L. I don't want to damage my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@karan gurkaran
To install root via default recovery you need an external SD card...the method i am provided here is via recovery so you need an external SD..also you can install root by flashing kernal via ODIN ...but this method is safer than that....before install this root make sure that you have the same vesrion i am mentioned here
As per @MSK looking to root XXMS2
Baseband version = I9100XXMS2
Kernel version = 3.0.31 - 1156082
dpi@DELL175 #3
SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 22 16:13:38

Build number = JZO54K.I9100XWLSS
@Peter Watson
Root for XWLSS
According to the developer the previous version of this root have a boot loop issue and he fixed it in the current version...i am not tested.. do at your risk.
