If anyone wants a specific kernel then request in this thread and I will make it when I have enough time.

If you like my work, maybe you would like to say thanks by buying me a beer

GT-I9100_BUKE1_insecure - User Request
GT-I9100_XWKE2_insecure
GT-I9100_XWKE7_insecure

These insecure kernels can be used with the guide here:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1056334

or a quick method for rooting would be:-

adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system
adb push busybox /system/xbin/
adb push su /system/xbin/
adb shell chown root.shell /system/xbin/busybox
adb shell chown root.shell /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell /system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin
adb shell mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system

and then install superuser.apk from market or adb install superuser.apk if you have it local.

Do you think you could make an insecure for XXKE1? I have not seen this listed anywhere, so I am at a loss. I don't know if is an offshoot of the other KE1, but here is my kernel info copy/pasted from the phone:

Kernel Version
2.6.35.7-I9100XXKE1 -cl181119
se.infra@SEP-41 #2

Sorry I dont have access to the XXKE1 kernel file, maybe you want to update to XXKE4?

How long should the "insecure mode" last because on first boot I have rw access to /system but after 2nd boot only read access and I need to reflash the kernel again to get rw access (to be honest I didn't bother remounting /system rw because I make so many typos reflashing is faster)

LOL.

adb remount

It won't remain RW all the time - you have to request it to go RW

Like I said for me it's faster to reflash than to type the command to remount rw

Thank you, I snatched it up. But just what are the main differences in the firmware anyway? I know it's regional specific sometimes, but is there a place that has what the difference is in the firmware versions?

Nope, unfortunately, there's no info from sammy.
