How to Root Samsung Galaxy S2 on XWLPD ICS Firmware

A day back we posted a tutorial to install XWLPD ICS Firmware which can be easily done via Odin. The XWLPD Firmware is for the Nordic countries but it can be flashed on any Galaxy S2 I9100 device, provided the device is not locked to any network. We also told you that after flashing this firmware, the root access will be revoked and you will have to root XWLPD Official firmware again. Rooting has its own advantages like batch backup of all apps using Titanium Backup or automating tasks on your Android device using Tasker.

In this tutorial we will tell you how to root XWLPD Firmware using Odin. Please note that if you get any yellow triangle after rooting, just use the triangle remover app which is available on the Google Play Store.

Pre-Requisites
It is very unlikely that you will lose any data on your device but if you are stuck at some position you may need to perform a factory reset. Having a backup is good in such situations!
  1. Back up all apps using ASTRO File Manager. You can get the APK files using ASTRO and later restore it. Rooted users can use Titanium Backup which also backs up data along with the apps.
  2. Back up all contacts to SD card.
  3. Backup SMS on Android.
  4. Backup call log on Android.
  5. Have minimum 60% charge on your phone else you might get stuck while the update process is running on your device.
  6. Remove any security or Anti-virus app if you have them installed.
  7. Enable USB Debugging. This can be don by Settings>Applications>Development and making sure that USB Debugging is checked.
  8. You must have KIES or Samsung Driver Installed on your PC.
