What problem are you having? Your post just says you're stuck..... IMO if you can't figure out how to download/install APKs (let alone applications that are provided on market) then you DON'T need a rooted phone.
Here are direct links to locations for both of those applications rather than the androlib links provided in the other thread.

Install those and follow the directions in the thread -- funny how people complain that superoneclick doesn't work when this uses exactly the same payload.

Super one click does not work for your information.
And I understand how to have a rooted phone I was asking for help on how to root 2.1.
Shut up with your negative attitude and thank you very much for your helpful post.
And it is funny how you people think that when we ask for help on rooting that we are stupid.
And I didn't mean I was stuck on download .apk files. I was stuck on the first step with the commands and stuff...
I tried to run the adb file and it wouldn't work...

There are two guides on the topic, so you should have asked on one of them, and tried the steps suggested on the first page. People are still asking about it looping despite there being suggestions on the first page to overcome it.
Super one click works on 2.1.
Sometimes fails and does strange loops but after several tries it will work.

One more thing.
Why does my phone always restart when I connect to the USB?
Hi
I'm sure you get this a lot, but I really suck at this. Its my third week surfing these forums and I still can't put a step by step guide in my head on how to root it. A lot of the phrases are out of my understanding, so I'm going to ask and hope someone replies
Here's what I got : Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100. Android 4.0.3 , Kernel 3.0.15-I9100XXLPS-CL294511, Build number IML74K.XXLPS
The question is this : Can I root it with 1 click? Truly, without searching for some drivers and stuff I'm not sure I'll find.
Please be aware that I really suck at this, and that I'm basically rooting my phone for Market Enabler and to remove that thing that pops when you double tap center key, the voice command thing, drives me nuts.
Thank you and have a great day!

Use the XX_OXA_LPS CF-Root kernel to root. (find it by doing a "find on page" on the thread) Follow the instructions in post 1.
You will need Kies installed, but not running, for drivers. (or the standalone Samsung USB drivers) Both or either can be found easily with a Google search.
Hey,
Thank you for your quick reply! I do have Kies, as it came on the phones SD card
I will give this a go right now, thank you again for saving me moar weeks of search <3

?? Your phone's SD card?
You know I meant Kies to be installed on your PC, right?
Hey,
Yeah I know. When I purchased the phone I found Kies installation on the SD card, and installed it on the PC. Was the same with Desire HD, I found HTC Sync installation on the SD card. I thought it was normal

That method does not work for newer releases of 2.3.6 or higher. That includes ICS. Which the OP is on. So it would not work for him.

I didn't download it to check, but just watching the video, (at 3:02) the command window that pops up clearly says "Easy rooting toolkit (v2.0) created by DooMLoRD" up at the top, followed by "Modified by Max Lee @ GalaxyS2Root.com". (I believe Max Lee is zedomax, but I don't know for sure)
I don't know what this Max Lee fellow changed, but I'm willing to bet that the actual exploit used to gain root is exactly the same, yes.
Hey just a quick one
Where do I get odin? And how to put my phone in download mode? Is it power, home, and volume down?

OK. The simplest way to root your phone is CFRoot. I don't give a crap what anyone else says. There's 10 steps. It takes 10 minutes tops, including downloading the kernel (the rooting/flashing part takes two minutes tops), unless your internet connection is a piece of string between you/your ISP with a tin can at either end, and you get CWM installed as part of the process.
Anyone who faps around with any other process is a fool & overcomplicating something which should be so simple a process, a bonobo with an IQ of -823 can get it done (in between shagging other members of its clan as bonobos tend to do with 99.99% of their time)

I agree with the overall sentiment, but you can also use any other kernel that auto-roots and installs CWM recovery as well. But sticking with CF-Root keeps things simple since the CF-Root thread has both the files and instructions.
Given the propensity for people here to ask question after question (even tho what they're asking has already been explained as simply as possible) & expecting to be spoonfed rather than read/learn/follow very simple instructions, keeping it simple in the first instance hopefully reduces this.
Anyone who can't root their phone with CFRoot after being directed to read the 'Help ! Which file do I use ?' bit carefully needs to get an iPhone as far as I'm concerned. No hope whatsoever.

If in your quote above (that I bolded), you're referring to DooMLoRD's zergRush exploit, it works on all releases of 2.3.5, and some of the earlier releases of 2.3.6. But it was patched in one of the 2.3.6 releases; I don't know which one, though.
But as the 4 post exchange between MistahBungle and I indicate, yes, CF-Root is the easiest way.

Which one click root are you talking about? The one click root I know of requires you to download the appropriate insecure kernel for your build of Android, and works up through ICS.

Quotes above are for context.
This is the only one click root I know about. It works for any version you can find an insecure kernel for, and there are various insecure kernels around for versions WAY newer than 2.3.4.
If you know of a different one click root, (that only works for 2.3.4 or lower, as you you indicate) then please cite your source.

THIS ONE, OH YEAH SRY IT'S CALLED SUPERONECLICK
Hi, I will be getting this phone today (i9100 unlocked) and have a couple of questions on how to proceed onwards. Any help would be greatly appreciated
1. What is the best firmware and rooted kernel for me to go on?
I want the absolute simpilest way to root my phone (total beginner) and I don't know what firmware I will have when I receive it, I also don't know if I should stay on a gingerbread firmware or go to ics? I also don't care if it is official or custom as long as I'm not sacraficing stability. If possible I would like a rom that is good for battery life. I also want to root my phone in the safest way. There are so many tutorials I didn't know where to start
2. What are some of the essential rooted apps and how do you install them? Through superuser or market?
3. What are the risks involved with a standard flashing/root because I'm getting my phone second hand I don't have warranty.
Thanks for all your help!
Edit: I just say a sticky saying not to ask what roms are the best so I'm sorry if I broke a rule. I just literally have no idea where to start, I've never even used android before. I've found so many methods of rooting and roms but most seem outdated. I would just like someone to point me in the right direction of the up to date way. Sorry if I'm really not supposed to ask!

Superuser is not used to install apps, you would either download them from the market or manually install the .apks

Rooting your phone would void the warranty anyway and bricking is probably your biggest risk.

Believe me, I tried, but there are so many options, also, I've now decided to opt for a locked virgin i9100 bcause it was 50 bucks more for a new phone with the warranty, so what's the best way to unlock one? I think I recall a free app.
my question is simple how to know if my bootloader is locked or not ? i need it to be unlocked so i can root it using this :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273&highlight=root+samsung+galaxy+s3&page=55
i have another question is cwm recovery working for 4.1.2 jb devices and where to get it? if not what's the alternative?
Stop.
Don't do anything else to your phone before you go and read ALL the stickies in the general forum.
You need to understand the basics and backup your efs folder before you destroy your phone.
Please don't start new threads for questions that have been answered a hundred times before and are all in the faq.

btw I9300 bootloader is not locked but do read the stickies as it is a different device than all american and several other sgs3 variants
okok no need to kill me i learned my lesson READ the stickies before posting stupid question!!
i scoured this place but i cant find a way to know the bootloader status i found out that xoom is locked and some xperia devices and that i can determine the bootloader status by the time it take on the boot screen but this doesnt sound very accurate is there a code to put it in the dial pad ?
Bootloader is irrelevant, it's a separate operating system that plays no part in recovery or rom.

actually the verizon sgs3 does have a locked bootloader. so it is not always the manufacturer that makes the decisions. in the us the carriers have much more input especially in regards to updates. att just recently began updates to 4.12.
have a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756338 they are all samsung galaxy s 3 but none are identical . some are exynos , some are snapdragon. ram , video boards, radios all different variants. that is why it is important to know your device
All the US versions are the same hardware... Besides Radio related stuff...
