Galaxy s2 rooted from box - not by me?

[ Edited ]

Do not really get what rooting or anything is but seen it on here a lot.

 

NOW I am worried. Replacement s2 delivered today. Checked battery level on "phone" and then looked at kernel level and it says:

 

2.6.35.7-I9100BUKE1-CL182896root@ DELL 105 #2

 

What does this mean? Has someone had this phone before and  rooted it? Does that invalidate waranty? Please help!

Hi callmechar,

I don't think it is, according to this post on XDA, that's the pre-root kernel

Hi, I have the phone and have the exact same kernel version as you.  Phone's from Vodafone and has never been modified. Cheers - Steve
