If my memory serves me correctly, the I9100P is an Orange branded handset with NFC. You can use any I9100 firmware with 3 files (Code, Modem & CSC) if the phone has been unlocked in a shop, i.e. not by code. In your case flashing the firmware to anything other than a UK release will lock the phone unless you use a single (PDA) release.

Rooting will require flashing the phone. I'm no expert in rooting, but I'm sure a quick google search should give you links to Odin & rooted firmware. I use NSPro to root & unlock the Galaxy series of phones, it's so much easier...but more expensive than paying for a shop to unlock it.

Yes loads of info on google but which one is the best and the right firmware for my handset so confusing just want to root it to get unlock to work?

How to root your Samsung Galaxy S2

Also Look Here:
This rooted kernel is for the "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root takes the kernel from an original Samsung firmware, and just adds root, busybox, and ClockWorkMod (CWM4/5) recovery

THIS IS NOT A ROM - it is only a modified kernel. You need to have the relevant firmware already on your device. You do NOT need to wipe anything for this patch. You DO need to read the instructions. PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST!
