A close friend asked me to make him an insecure kernel for KE2 which I have now decided to release to the community.
I have also made KE7 which I think will be more useful to the community.
If anyone wants a specific kernel then request in this thread and I will make it when I have enough time. If you only want to root your device and then will flash back to the stock kernel then there is no need to request your specific version (use any version which is close to your current version), you only need to use a specific version if you want to run with the insecure kernel.
If you like my work, maybe you would like to say thanks by buying me a beer
Post was getting large, so older versions have been moved to here GT-I9100
and then install superuser.apk from market or adb install superuser.apk if you have it local.
I have now put a pack together to make the rooting more easy for user not comfortable using adb, all you need to do is make sure you have flashed an insecure kernel and the phone is connected in debug mode, then click root.cmd or unroot.cmd insecure-root-pack
Original Kernels:-
These can be used after rooting if you want to remove the yellow warning tri-angle on boot
I have also decided to release the XWKE7 low package, this can be used to fix most issues if your phone gets in a mess, it can be used with re-partition BUT I would suggest you only use that option if you know what you are doing, I would also suggest you DO NOT tick the option to update the phone bootloader (for now), best is to leave the options in Odin as default, unless you feel the need to re-partition.
I hope this isn't a stupid question, but why do we need newer insecure kernels? After rooting we're supposed to flash the stock kernel back anyways, right?
Great thread, final an ke7 insecure kernal.
And to answer post above. By using an insecure ke7
Kernal, you can use adb etc without downgrading kernal to chainfires. And more...
PLEASE consider a donation for my hard work and effort.

If you understand the advantages of an insecure kernel and the kernel version is correct for the OS level your running then you can use it, no need to go back to the original kernel.
But you should use an insecure kernel with caution, e.g. with adb running as root you could fux up a lot of things if you dont know what you are doing.

Odia root apps are not working with this kernel;( KE7
Just installed super one click root over the top, and now all is ok
Gosh, we need to reflash the original secure kernel over the insecure kernel after we are done rooting?! That's something new! Getting more and more confused
Can someone advise if, let's say my current fw is KE2, and I use the insecure TAR kernel file KE2 to root. When I update to KE7 fw, do I need to re-root using KE7 insecure Kernel?
