I used Odin. Easy to find. To be sure, I would look around in the SGS2 forum.

Hi
This is probably the noobiest question.. I am new to the android scene and am clueless. My GS2 comes in today, so excited!!
So I will root it when i get it. Just wondering, is the rooting method the same for every firmware version or does it change as new firmwares come out?
And can someone PLEASE link me to a detailed root guide for the GS2. Keep i mind i am new to the android scene.
Thanks in advance guys!!
As to date, rooting works the same. You flash a pre-rooted rom, or only a rooted kernel. Until Samsung would suddenly lock their bootloaders nothing will change. Luckily Samsung likes the Android community, so they'll keep it easy for us to root.
Ok. So every time i upgrade to a new firmware.. I just use the same root guide and it will work.?
Can you point me to a detailed step by step GS2 rooting guide please?
Thanks for your help
The most easiest way would be to pick the CF-Root kernel matching your firmware/ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
And just flash that - done.
The kernel takes care of pretty much everything.
Seems complex.. but i will give it a try.

Rooting your phone won't magically make it update past 2.3.5.
Regarding how to root your phone, there are stickies in these forums with all the information you need.
thank you, I understand everything now (at least I hope so.)

Sorry but this isn't a good translation,
I tried to re-do the translation to understand it myself the ~~ says what i don't understand but i'll give it a try:
1. Since you have Kernel build 6 you "Can" root your tablet,
2. And there is a guide how you can do this,
3. You must have a working ADB
- If you don't understand this you must first learn more about this you need google drivers for the STS and you need the Android SDK tools etc.
first make this all work and make your device compitable with your pc,
then try the rooting steps.
will have some link or tutorial?, my pc if you recognize my tablet because the roots had with honeycomb and honey When I upgrade to official ICS lost the root
I would greatly appreciate a link or a tutorial for new root
thank you very much for your help
So if i''m right you lost root after updating from a rooted 3.2.1r2 and flashed a non pre-rooted version of ICS,
Then i have to tell you that you won't be able to gain root anymore,
you had to Preroot the Signed update zip ~after downloading the UK ICS update~ and then flash it,
now yoú have a kernel above 8 is it?, but like you said you have build 6 so you still can root your tab,
alright its simple just try the AiO tool from Condi

Hello.
I need access to a file, but on several sites on google - all say that i need to root...
So i want to root my phone, but still keep the "official" android (dont want CyanogenMod etc.)
But im really insecure on how to root my phone - and how risky is it?
Can you please provide me with a guide (with pictures please) on how to root it.
PS: Can i still update my android, if i root the phone?
Will all the data on the phone be deleted? like reinstalling windows....

You should have posted in galaxy s2 section but:
You can keep stock android, just follow this link to root your S2 and it will be fine. There is also video tutorial in the link
You won't be able to update your phone with Software Update but you can always find the latest firmware for S2 from SamFirmware
The sam firmware website is where you can find all the stock firmware for the S2
Your files will be fine such as music pictures etc they will not be wiped and it's not risky to root your phone with the link above
If you have any other questions just ask

Kernel?
Hey.

Also heard alot of rumors about the Odin - that is was unstable and such, can you confirm that?
