Follow the link and read. Start at step 1 which will bring you to Android Central. I rooted this way and it was great..

I am running on EA28 firmware. all the threads tell about DL09. any difference?
Not to be an ass or anything, but if you can't figure out how to root the phone, find a stickied thread, or what needs done to flash ROMs, than you should stay away from 2.2 until you can. Odds are, you'll end up flashing something you shouldn't and it will be harder to get back to a working phone. Read through the threads and stickies first and gain an understanding of how to accomplish whatever it is you want to do.

I was able to root while on EA28, but make sure you read the "Note to Stock Users" at the bottom of the first post on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913470
If you are new to rooting or new to rooting this phone, you really need to read the instructions carefully (no skimming!) a few times before starting. It took me about three hours to root and install DL30 the night I got my phone (including time I goofed things up).
Good luck!

You need to be descriptive! What are you trying to do?
Slow down!
I researched information and asked questions for a week before I did anything. And at that point i knew every step that I needed to do in detail...
In contrast you seem to be just jumping in...
For now, if you're phone don't work, search for the di01 all in 1 package and use odin to push it to your phone in PDA section.. Only use PDA SECTION..
Then write me back on here telling me exactly what you want. Then ill write you a step by step procedure to get you threre..

You're in the right place, but you really should heed the advice you've already been given and read what's available before you make a costly mistake...
I started with the same stock configuration as you. Thanks to several hard-working devs (adrynalyne; jt1134 and others willing to document steps for us noobs), I'm now running Froyo with all the functionality I've been after since I bought this thing... Honestly, it's like a new phone.
EVERY question and glitch along the way had already been addressed on these forums - it's all there for the searching.
Also, I gather that folks will more patiently assist you if you *do* get into a fix if it appears you're willing to first RTPFM (read the proverbial f#$%^&* manual .
best of luck with it.

Im on stock froyo +jk6 voodoo kernel, and I disabled voodoo. And tried to get into recovery and I cant. It says "error: missing bitmap cannot indeterminate 1 code -7" and I have tried alot and idk what to do now but im afraid to restore my backup, or anything... I really need some help here to get back to original cwm amd continue happily flashing. Thanks
You will need to ODIN back to stock, you can find the howto in the Bible section above or in the QA section. When you ODIN back to stock, it will flash stock recovery, then use Rom Manager to get back clockwork recovery.

Whenever I have a problem i go back to stock, get into download mode and flash odin using the 512 pit file and the JFD tarball. Then you can go to whatever you like.

Any way I can do it without odin?

Other than ODIN, I dont believe there is any other way. I accidentally ' restore ' my cwm backups, and this was back when I was using Fusion 2.1 eclair. But if you're on 2.2, I dont recommend doing such. Unless your backup previous to your current is also a 2.2 build, then try? Notice: do this at your own risk!!!! I dont recommend this, I got lucky, and accidentally went back to my olds build, but it was pure LUCK! When in doubt, ODIN!!

Haha I know its funny. But my phones fine ill just have to wait to odin another time....
make sure you are using vol up + vol down + power+home to get into recovery. You usually get that bitmap unknown mode when pressing vol up +power+home.
I got that error once, I plugged the phone into my pc, after putting it into download mode, drivers were seen, then I restarted the phone, it put me in the recovery screen where I just hit reboot and BAM the phone was up and working.
Only this is, sorry man but your going to need to odin back to stock cause once you try and reboot to CW BAM ... ERROR..
Do you know anyone with their own PC? or Lappy? Do at there house and be done with it..
With that said, this thread should be closed and further questions should be posted in the Q&A section. Please follow the rules.

Rooted with superoneclick
installed cwm from rom manager on the market
installed Stock+Voodoo kernel through odin
tried to install eb01 rom through odin, it failed
got into download mode again
tried installing DI01package3.tar through odin it failed at around 60%
download mode/recovery mode won't start anymore.
instead when I connect the phone I get some weird loading thing that's not moving
and now my PC won't recognize it
Picture of the loading thing?
Also, did you flash the voodoo for another phone?
EDIT: Try taking the battery out and holding the down button while plugging it in, if that doesn't work, you probably flashed something for another phone and you'll need to either use a jig or get a warranty replacement.
EDIT2: Also try this:
Turn the phone into the download mode by pressing and holding Volume Down + Home + Power.
or this: take out the battery, hold both Volume Up + Volume Down and plug it into usb.

hey I dont know what thread I read this on but there was a way to force your phone into download mode, I think the thread is call fun resistors or something.
basicaly the phone is set to do things depending on what is plug to by the usb cable, for instance if you have a car dock it pulls the car app and same for homedock pulls the clock app. well there is a set resistance that will make the phone go into download mode. download mode might be intact but the buttons might no so when you press them it does not detect, but with the resistors it might.
let me know how it goes.

Here's the link. Funny I had just been reading about this for a friend's Vibrant that went and killed itself.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Keep in mind that that is in the i9000 forum, so I don't know if each phone uses different resistances to send the phone into download mode or not. Also, I would highly recommend using the suggested USB-micro breakout board, which is available here:
http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10031
It will make life SO much easier.
Do some more googling about your phone, and about forcing it into download mode before you just go soldering in 301k resistors onto a usb board.
Good luck.
Your phone basically IS the Vibrant, follow the steps for the Vibrant to fix it, but use the Telus Fascinate Odin files.
I hope you can find a full odin package cause the DI01 package flashed the bootloaders, modem, and everything else on your phone. Most likely, you have a true brick and you aren't going to be able to fix it.

If you can't find one, use one for the Vibrant, it won't hurt seeing as you already flashed the files for the VZW Fascinate.
If he has anything appearing on the screen at all, it's not a true brick. There's a Telus fix-all Odin. He needs to jig himself into download (see this thread for the simplest method) and apply that (step 1 in this post).
Do *NOT* use any Vibrant Odin stuff. The SBL for that can actually kill the Telus deader than dead.

You should apply the DI01 Odin fix-all package adrynalyne posted.
The OP, on the other hand, is on Telus so he needs a different Odin fix-all package.
do u have a link to that pls

thanks so much man u saved my phone w this info im back up and running
Well I thought I would try CM7. Apparently the ROM that I was running made a straight upgrade to CM7 impossible.
I flashed back to stock using
s1_odin_20100512.pit
T959UVJFD.tar
Passed with no issues. Also formated the internal SD. Now when I try the usual update.zip method of rooting, the little script seems to stop almost immediately but with no error messages. The progress bar only goes about a 1/10 of the way, then it says successful and reboots. However I don't have SU access nor busybox.
Totally stumped. Any thoughts? This phone was originally rooted in using the same method. If I were to guess, I would say that maybe this "original" ROM is not the original one I had on the phone when I bought it at T-Mo.
When I look at the phones ID it says:
model :SGH-T959
FW: 2.1 update 1
BB: T959UVJFD
Kern: 2.6.29
Build Number :Eclair (I don't remember it originally saying Eclair but I could be mistaken)
Any help would be appreciated.
Apparently the usual update.zip has been naughty lately. Use the attached update.zip posted by s15274n instead.

I think there are two different stock flashes you can use. if you can't root its probably because you used the wrong one. I know that 2.2 froyo also has rooting issues.

star, I would suggest my noob guide in my signature. It has ODIN and two update.zips... one for just rooting, and the other to just flash CWR (the one I use). The latter allows you to ODIN > go straight into CWR and flash a rom.
Done.
i have alll the files needed. i have every file organized into a simple rar. goto my "lifesaver" post and download the rar. it should help!
All,
I am a noob. I admit it. I have checked the threads and the Q&A but haven't been able to decipher a workable answer to my problem, so please forgive me if I'm repeating a past problem.
I successfully rooted my i777 (ICS) phone using Heimdall and my Mac terminal following steps found at galaxys2root.com. I downloaded ClockworkMod Manager and tried to back up my current, stock MOD before attempting to flash a different one. That's when the phone never came out of the backup. I can still get into download mode and have tried flashing the file originally used to root, but to no avail. I have tried taking the battery out, still will not boot up. Is there a way to flash a new ROM with Heimdall? And if so (not knowing exactly how to use Heimdall) how to do that? As a noob, I understand that there will be eyerolling at this post, but I could really use some help to recover my phone.
Thank you.
SOLVED: Thanks to XDA and this website wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_%28AT%26T%29:_Full_Update_Guide) for getting me out of a jam and teaching me how to untar a file!! love to learn new things!!!

Start over with files located on these forums. then afterwards, you may ask questions.
yes you can flash with heimdall, there are guides.
EDIT:
There are guides on THIS forum.
Follow creepy's guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081 and reflash the stock ROM. That should get you to the point where you can do what you want.

A touch on the disappointed side after getting no response to my other thread I'd like to ask some questions.
My newly acquired sgs2 is running 2.3.4 and, like many here I'd like to try some custom roms.
Am I right in thinking I need to flash a stock ics or jb through odin or heimdall?
My current pc runs linux and I've been having trouble with getting the right package as each one throws up an error mostly alone the lines of 'firmware.xml does not exist' from heimdall.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a heimdall compiled package as all the ones I've found give an error.
OR
Can anyone provide me with a pc-less way of rooting and flashing from 2.3.4 to some custom rom or something.

You may well have been disappointed to not get a response to your previous thread, however, you should have bumped that thread rather than make a new one.
I'm not sure why you'd think you'd be more likely to get a response to another thread with the exact same query ? (It is Xmas after all, a lot less people passing through here). Besides, very few people use Heimdall. That's why you didn't get a response (And why you won't get an answer from me; I simply don't know because I've never used it like 95% of people here).

You haven't searched thoroughly enough if you couldn't find same.
Thanks. Didn't really occur that xmas caused the lack of response. my bad.
On the other notes. The only pc-less root method I've found is for ics not gb.
Also, I had already tried bumping the other thread but got no reply at all. That's why i decided to start a new one with a more accurate description of my requirements.
I'll happily put it down to people not being experienced with heimdall.
Thanks for the pointers.

If my memory serves me correctly, I could have sworn there was an Odin-less exploit that worked on GB <2.3.5 (forget the details; never used it myself).
OK. Now that you've got this thread up & running and the previous one has gone to heaven, I suggest you bump this one maybe 2-3 times a week until you get a response (daily would probably be overkill). Eventually someone who uses Heimdall will read it. Or you could find a Windoze PC & use Odin & do the job in a few minutes.
Or...(I just had a lightbulb moment as I was about to hit 'submit')...What about trying to run Odin under Wine ? It might be a bit risky given if Odin crashes halfway thru the flash you could easily bork your phone permanently. But if you don't get a response to this thread re: Heimdall and you can't get access to a Windoze machine, and you're really desperate to do it......
Ok. I'll keep hunting for that exploit.
Just so wean exhaust all possible options. I tried using wine and virtual box back in the day with sgs1 with no success
May work now 2 years down the line.
Ill leave this now till after the festivities.

Is there anyone who can help me on this.
At my parents for a few days so will probably flash with odin to ics. Is there anything other info i need other than flash Rom under pda with reparation unticked and no pit file? I read somewhere that after flashing it will hang on sgs2 boot logo and you have to enter recovery, full wipe and reboot to get to the rom.
Btw I'll probably go for a 4.0.3 based stock rom and root at a later date if needed.

If you cant use ODIN on your pc then try Mobile Odin instead.
yeap, root you device (it's a piece of cake in GB), download mobile odin and you are good to go.
you might wanna read some stuff about flashing, you really don't wanna flash a wrong ROM.
In that case can you direct me to a none pc root method for gb? I've hunted all over the place without success
Does mobile odin work in the same way that you have to select the file and whatever repart/reboot options you want.
