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.

Ok guys and dolls...Let's get down to brass tacks!
Being as these phones are locked down, what would be the best way to get it rooted? I already have rooted my backflip, so command prompt is easy, along w using adb..
Secondly, I'm used to having super user access as an icon on my home screen, does the root method here also have the SU icon?

You've asked exactly what they've asked haven't you, and lists both methods in the first post, and having posted on there myself know the one click method has been mentioned. And as it's only 2 pages long, it's not even got started so can hardly be described as "bounces all over the place".
What you need to decide is if you want to use an older FW as mentioned on the other thread.
Hi folks...
According to reports on this forum, some people seem to have managed rooting their stock 2.3.3 roms.
However, I don't seem to be able to do this
I used the official LG update tool to upgrade to V20C, and it looks like I have a perfectly working Gingerbread installation, but when I try to root (using Gingerbreak, which I thought should work), nothing happens (Gingerbreak keeps running without changing anything).
In the DEV forum FAQ, there is no information about rooting GB roms (yet).
If anyone who successfully did this, would care to comment, I'd be very much obliged
thanks

Either that or do this:
in ADB:
adb devices
adb shell
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
then open superoneclick and root (using psneuter).
Thanks, that worked fine. First time I tried I had some problems but I must have done something wrong

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

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.

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.

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!

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.
