    already rooted phone

    Hi I Just bought an s2 which Ive found is already rooted but my kernel version is 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 root@DELL103 #2
    The problem I have is that I dont have cwm installed and I also dont know what the stock kernel is so I'm unable to reflash it back.
    What are my options so that I can install cwm and root it again so that I can install the siyah kernel which Im trying to do but failing due to not having cwm installed.

    Thanks

    How do you know it's rooted?

    Just because a file has 'root' in the name, it doesn't mean that your phone is rooted.
    If you bought your phone new then it will certainly not be rooted.

    You can pretty much flash any stock firmware for your region on your SGSII, the stock firmware will come with the stock kernel.

    You do know that if you start flashing the phone then you will void your warranty. The SGSII also comes with a primary and secondary binary counter to record the amount of time the phone is flashed.

    You're not rooted.. my S2 had similar. Download superuser off the market and see if it gives you root access..
    That's just stock.
