Added on May 7, 2012, 11:20 pmIf your still on old GB bootloader jig will work. If your on ICS bootloader you can try triangle away. I have use it without any problem. Many have also tried successfully but of cos the risk is always still there.

My warranty spoil until basi d. Yes technically it void warranty, but can restore your phone back to stock condition if ever u need to send to SC. From user's past experience, samsung does not emphasize much on this and will still service your device.

If you really want to save batt, better stick to GB. From my experience, ICS does consume a little more power than GB. But i dun really monitor my batt consumption, got charger everywhere.

Which version of kernel with which rom?

If u got super SU or superuser in your app drawer you are rooted. If not rooted, then download CF kernel XWLP8 and flash through odin.

Ah so now Dharan join them to make kernel. Was wondering who was making the kernel.

Added on May 8, 2012, 8:53 amSome of the anti-theft app are hard reset proof. Only flashing a new rom through odin/cwm will wipe it.

Root is a less than 5 mins thingy. Not hard at all. The hard part is convince yourself nothing is gonna go wrong.

Have you try this for g-version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631934

Yes its for rooting. Clockworkmod (CWM) is tool that allow you to flash roms/kernels and other stuff. Even the stock rom comes with samsung own CWM. First it will flash a kernel with CWM then your suppose to use superoneclick to root it.

Which rom version your on now? Is it GB 2.3.6?

No its not really complicated. Download
GB - 5.0.2.8 and
Superoneclick

Links are in the thread. Then follow the steps given.

Sigh, dunno how to help u.

Added on May 8, 2012, 10:15 amYes its a limited recovery, which is why we still need the modded recovery from custom kernels.

Yes.

1. Power your device off (shutdown)
2. Boot into Download-Mode using Volume Down + Home + Power
3. Hit Volume Up to accept the warning
4. Start Odin on PC
5. Click PDA box and choose "GT-I9100G_XX_ClockworkMod-Recovery_X.X.X.X.tar" that you downloaded (Note this is .tar file) (DO NOT tick repartition)
6. Connect your Phone to PC
7. If odin detect your phone the first box will turn yellow
8. Click start
9. Once successful the first box will turn green
10. Device will auto reboot.
11. After reboot you can easily root your device using SuperOneClick. This will install superuser and busybox for u.

Edit
Note:
1. Make sure kies is installed for the correct drivers to allow odin to detect your phone
2. BUT make sure kies is not running in the background or odin will not work. Open up your pc task manager and kill anything with the word kies on it.
3. Some people prefer to disable antivirus also.
4. Never ever disconnect usb cable while flashing.
