I cannot make head or tail of that thread link which you have given. It is such a long page with several options to root ICS. I could not find a single method given there to root JELLY BEAN.

The siyah kernel I flashed ( Siyah-s2-v6.0b4.tar) did not work! The phone went into a start up loop after it. Now I will have to re flash the Official ROM again :( In the meantime, can anyone give CHAINFIRE'S CF-ROOT KERNEL for this XWLSK Rom??

---------- Post added at 05:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

Can anyone here please give me a kernel for ROOTING XWLSK jelly bean OFFICIAL Update for INDIA? I want to keep my official Stock ROM, I DO NOT WANT ANY FANCY MODS. I just need a kernel which I can flash to get ROOT and stay as close to the Official Stock ROM XWLSK as possible. Can anyone help??? Hasn't CHAINFIRE made a CF-ROOT KERNEL for JELLY BEAN YET???

Root XWLSK

You can use Siyah Kernel "‘Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar‘ for rooting your Galaxy S2 I9100 on XWLSK Android 4.1.2 firmware update. Simply flash the same using ODIN.

If the phone goes into a loop, go to recovery mode and do a wipe cache. It should fix the issue.

I have used mobile ODIN app to select the file "I9100XWLSK" and then for kernel "Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar" with options wipe checked.

Also, checked the USB Debugging option and then clicked on Flash.

Why the hell would you flash this buggy rom instead of the stable European ones.
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
Which Official Samsung Jelly Bean ROM is the best according to you? One that would work in India too. Give the Download Links for the ROM and the ROOTING Kernel too. So far I am having a major problem finding a WORKING KERNEL to ROOT this new update XWLSK.
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
Well you can always try speedmod kernel to root this . Also i would like to suggest you neatrom or chameleon rom !

Attached is CWM SU zip. Download and copy to your external sd card>Power Off phone>Press the Volume up+Home+Power key>Choose the option to apply upgrade from external storage>Choose the zip>Select "Yes">Reboot your phone.

This will root your phone and install Super SU. There is no cf root kernel and in most probability there will not be one. Understand that your device is ~2 years old, the world has moved on to better devices...
[Galaxy S II General] kranti2064:
How in the world do you know that this ROM is buggy?? Did they use a special process to induce bugs, something that did not happen with the "European ones"?:cyclops:
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
I can't flash the CWM SU zip in the recovery mode because there is no CWM installed after flashing the XWLSK Official ROM. Now what to do?

EDIT: Ok. So I used my brains and first flashed Siyah Kernel "‘Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar‘ for rooting after getting the XWLSK on my phone. does not work on its own and the phone goes into a boot loop. But it does install the CWM so I can flash your CWM SU Zip file from the recovery mode. I reboot. BUT STILL THE PHONE Is GOING IN a BOOT LOOP. Can someone give me something that WORKS on the XWLSK???? So far NOTHING HAS WORKED TO ROOT XWLSK. Should I get rid of this XWLSK rom and get XWLSN????? Pls advice ONLY if you KNOW

Understand that your device is ~2 years old, the world has moved on to better devices..

This is no valid reason for things not to work on the SGS II. The SGS II was the BEST phone available at the time I bought it nearly two years ago. I bought it on the first day it landed in India.
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
I'm saying this because of my past experience with Indian roms . They always had few bugs the 4.0.3 update had many bugs . ALso the battery life is not as good as we get in european firmwares
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
Thanks mate, I was finally able to get root using the Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar. I figured that an App called LBE Privacy guard was interfering with it and I uninstalled it. After that your Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar has worked. :good:
[Galaxy S II General] IMRAND:
Thanks to KRANTI2064

Now my phone is stock ROM+KERNEL with root.

[Galaxy S II General] jj_95nano:
Re: [4.1.2][GT-I9100] Official Jellybean for INDIA! (XWLSK)

Well, you're generalising there... If you've used the ROM, you'll realise that it's practically bugless. It has better battery life than LSD in my opinion. Yesterday I played Modern Combat 4 on this firmware for half an hour (or so) and only lost 23%, which is good according to me. I suggest you try it, before making a conclusion. :)

to hell with kies and OTA...

Please just help me out i have registered with Sammobile.com then i downloaded the official firmware from hotfile.com link that sammobile provided..

now my question how should i flash it on my s2 please help m a noob.. i mean i know i have to use Odin then select PDA then should i select the file i downloaded or is it a different file.
[Galaxy S II General] kranti2064:
Mr.OH I know it all, if you would have the BRAINS to understand what is written in the "Universal Root for ICS/JB" thread, you might have realized that the zip I attached is "signed" which implies that you can flash it via "STOCK RECOVERY" and do not need "CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY".

So what you eventually have is stock ROM+KERNEL+Super SU with required permissions.

For a self proclaimed "Mr.OH I know it all", you are actually quite dumb, aren't you? Anyways to help your sorry self, I have also attached the latest "TEMPORARY CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY". Flash this first via "STOCK RECOVERY" and you will get into a "TEMPORARY CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY" wherein flash the Super SU Zip attached in my earlier post.

To answer your other stupid inquiry, Chainfire or any other DEV has no liability to develop for a specific device. They did not make a cf root for "Indian JB", so what, shut it..! You can use Philz,Jeboo,Siyah (These are names of CUSTOM KERNELS..!)

Furthermore, whatever is required to work on the SGS II, works perfectly fine. It is a "PERSON HOLDING THE DEVICE" problem.. :D

I am posting all the steps needed to install and root JB India Version

1. Download The Firmware XWLSK Here Im Sure if you followed the post till here you have successfully flashed this firmware already now you need help with rooting

2. You will need an EXTERNAL SD CARD to Install SuperSu from Here Just follow the steps given by that user and it will install without any issues as long as u are using an Extenal SD this is a SIGNED File so it will install SuperSU without Rooting or changing the firmware

3. You will need Mobile ODIN to install CWM Recovery get it Here or Just Google the APK file

4. Download << 05.04.2013 - PhilZ-cwm6 v4.92.8 with CWM 6.0.3.0 based recovery >> i got it from This Post and Save it on the phone. Now Open Mobile ODIN on your phone and click on FIRMWARE and Locate the PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSK-ODD-4.92.8.tar.md5 and then Click on FLASH FIRMWARE

Looking out for help on poor battery life that I have been facing with my S2 (GT i9000) post upgrade to 4.1.2 from a pathetic 4.0.3 firmware

I was hoping that 4.1.2 will be super, however my hopes went down the drain as the battery life has fallen unexpectedly to barely 6 hrs and I am not a heavy user

Please please help me fix this, I have been searching various forums for the answer but couldn't get any..google result landed me here and I am in high hopes to get a fix here :)

Thanks in advance guys

well for me everything is going great with 4.1.2.

recently switched to NeatRom nd seriously this is a gooood battery friendly stock Rom for me.

havin a screen on time of almost 3 nd a half hour with a continuos use of FB(on Opera), msgs, whatsapp nd some frequent calls of 2 or 3mins

using it with Dorimanx kernal (had some SOD's but it doesn't bother me with this battery backup ;) )

nd ya offcourse the total time on battery with normal usage is arround 6-8hrs thats what U can get from this huge display :)

try what the guy said in above posts it really works

turnin off the capacitive button lights nd haptic feedback can give you atleast 30mins of more all around battery juice

Nd ya1 more thing try using wakelock detector from Play Store U'll see what app is eating ur battery if U're not a heavy user
