Several methods, but if no success, then you are apparently doing something wrong. What methods, and what are you doing, exactly? Easiest method to root is to flash a CF-Root kernel. From what it looks like, you'll need the KJ3 CF-Root kernel.

You can update to ICS any time you want, and you probably should do this first before rooting, unless you want to root twice. (root once for GB, then update to ICS, then root ICS - because you will lose root once you update to ICS anyways)
Looks like you are new here, and have some reading/learning to do to figure some things out.
Start here for stickies with a wealth of information.
Really, there are no short-cuts. Short-cuts lead to missed steps. Missed steps lead to bricked phones.
As ctomgee said. Describe what you have done
Hi ! Thanks for you answers. yes Im beginner and new on the forum
Ive downloaded a BUKJ3 kernel and install it with the odin and s2root method but apparently the kernel was secured so nothing done :s Ive tried too to root it with the CMW.zip in the the sdcard and to start in recovery mode always nothing.
Ive found a method using SuperOneClickv1.9.5 but haven't tried cuz Im not sure its safe.
* I would like to update it to ICS before rooting but how ? :s
Thanks a lot

Dont be so noob my friend,
just click the link ctomgee gave you and read as much as possible....
once you knew waht is Download mod and how to use Odin.....pick an official ICS rom from here and flash......means install....

hh Yes friend Im reading right now
Im just confused about some details and Im afraid to done something wrongly.
the problem is that I cant find a similar kernel of my fone. can i use any other one ?
are you willing to Root first? and searching a CF-root for that?
then pick it up : http://download.chainfire.eu/52/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KJ3-v5.0-CWM5.zip
Ive downloaded it and puted it in sdcard and lunched it from recovery mode but : verification failed. have I to unzip it before copying in fone memory ?
If you can show me how to update it to ICS and root it after it would be so nice.
Thanks for your help.
LOL.......
You have to read read read read There is no substitute for READING for COMPREHENSION
Have you ever used ODIN? if not please learn it first,
the file I sent was for ODIN flash, because your phone is not rooted yet to flash zip from recovery, you have to unzip it to get a TAR file and to put in PDA section of the ODIN.
but please read more
Okay mister ahmed.
your absolutely right I just ask for advices before manipulating in the fone. yeh I know how to use odin. It exists a method where the flash is maked on recovery mode thats why Ive asked that question.
Thanks a lot for your help I will try it now

*facepalm*
Odin flashes are in download mode, not recovery. You have a lot more reading to do.
You have the kernel needed from the link posted previously.
1. Unzip the kernel and keep the tar file.
2. Set your phone in download mode by pressing vol down + power button.
3. Run odin and connect your phone to the PC while in download mode.
4. once odin sees your phone, click PDA and link to the tar file
5. Press the magic button and that should do it really.
Here is the link that says it all:

Hi I was just interested in which way is best to root my device and why.
I broke my last galaxy s2 doing it via odin as I was unable to unroot it.
This time I have done it the superoneclick way and unrooted via ginger unroot app.
Yes I'm a noob and someone if any one answer will have a pop about which thread I should've gone to, but looking around for the last hour has shown bugger all.
I could'nt for some reason unroot with odin and am baffled why.
Any help would be appreciated

Root using one of the many root kernels.
Unroot by flashing a stock ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Easiest way just flash CF Root via Odin. Job done simples.
Yes, I'm going to have a "quick pop". Initial search of Q&A forum turned up very similar questions, this is where you should have posted instead of creating a new one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=8243020
Answers are above, including the link with guides.
Hi I did this the first time via odin, but was unable to unroot.
I used an insecure kernal and had the original kernal but when I flashed the original kernal back it was still rooted.
So this may be a silly question but why do I need to flash a rom as some people seem to suggest?
Sorry to sound thick ( I am I guess ) but so much info has really baffled me.
I thought you downloaded an insecure kernal and flashed via odin and that was it, rooted, then if you want to unroot you flash the original kernal, use usb jig and job was done.
Or am I way off lol
Again sorry if I am that bad
Regards Shaun
If you flash back stock firmware, busybox and superuser are removed, so you won't have root access. Also stock kernel as part of the package will instal stock recovery.

The actual rooting process changes (adds) things to the system, that's why you need to flash a "clean" one to unroot.
The unsecure kernels only provide the means to perform the root, they don't do the actual root.
Kernels like CF-Root or mine (see sig) do perform the actual root on boot, but as said above, it involves adding things to the original system.
First and foremost, thank you all for your info it is much appreciated and I mean that.
But I am totally lost and still have a screwed of G2 in the drawer.
I have followed advice to the T and some how I am no better off.
I mean what has firmware and roms got to do with rooting or unrooting.
I just want to get to grips with rooting before flashing firmware or at least someone to say what I did wrong.
On my new G2 I did it via superoneclick is that wrong?

Thats usually in most cases not following the relevant instructions .
This method works but if you cannot understand it then leave your phone unrooted and start reading the Guides and FAQS .
Root + CWM .

Flash a fresh/clean ROM like suggested in this thread, that should most definitaly fix that phone and get it back to fully working state.
So just before I do this flashing the firmware, just to make sure you understand!
I do the flashing the firmware as if I was flashing the kernal?
Also I'm on 2.3.4 will it stay as that or will I have to use another firmware for that?
Again sorry if I am getting this wrong and thank you for your patience
Get a USB jig.
Flash your stock rom of choice from the intratech thread.
Flash speedmod kernel or whichever you want to gain root.
PS. You shouldn't be flashing anything if you don't know what your doing.....

The intention is to get the phone in a working state, so you can just about flash any official firmware you like. Your Android version will also upgrade if you flash a newer package.
Good reports about XILA2. May have a few Italian apps on it, you may wish to keep them or uninstall later. You may have to flash a seperate CSC later, or just manually enter your APN.
Follow Intratech's instructions and go for it!

First thing search for cf-root for your device. On the cf-root page you will understand how to identify the correct file for you. Download the file. Use odin following details about how to use it. Get your phone in download state. Volume down+power button+home button. Odin will detect your phone. After cf-root its time to install a custom rom. I use slimics look at the forum for it and the way to install it on your phone. I hope this helped you.

Hello today i desided to root my Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100
I checked my kernel version which is XWLPG
Then i found in insecure kernel that should fit on this forum.
After that i took my phone enabled usb debugging.
Then i turned off my phone and started it in downloading mode.
(Volume down, Home and Power)
Then i started odin and flashed the kernel to my phone.
After that i ran S2 Root program.
Then i pressed root and everything seemed to work fine.
After reboot i got the yellow triangle and thought everything were fine.
But it proved me wrong, i tried using luckypatcher to remove some ads on a app i have, but it didnt have root access wierd
So i downloaded titanium backup from play store,
and same thing here it showed me and error that it didn't have root access.
I restarted my phone serveral times and i didnt help at all.
Then i tried doing it all over again and its THE SAME.
No matter what i do it seems that i can get my phone rooted probadly.
I can see superuser is installed but i cant find CWM.
Is there anything i can do.. ?
Ps. If you need more information just ask, i tried to be as descriping is i could be after all i am a noob and im not special, but i couldn't find anything after a search
hi
which insecure kernel u used?
and is there any superuser app in your phone?
if its not there install superuser from market and try
or else flash ch-kernel first then flash other kernels
Try flashing the insecure kernel again. Sounds like Busybox didn't get installed at all or/properly. If you used something other than a CFRoot kernel, I recommend you do this time.
This is the kernel i used if that can help you Kernel_I9100XWLPG_INSECURE
I have tried flashing it again with no luck
There is a superuser app but it dont seem to work at all..
I will try the cf now and reply back asap..
It that the same method as i already done.. ?
I don't know. Which thread did you get it from ?

Before you do anything, read the first page of the CFRoot thread thoroughly. Make sure you understand the process. And pay particular attention to the bit in bold red about a 3rd of the way down the page that says "Help ! Which file do I use ?".
That section answers the question you just asked.

i will do that.. thank you again very much..
Its really apreciated..
I will try the Cf..
But actually a question already has come up..
the kernel version i found is a zImage and not a tar and odin dont seem to recognize it
EDIT: Sorry my bad i accidently unpacked it twice.. What a noob
Yeah you don't need to unpack the tar. Looks like you got that sorted tho ;-) Let us know how you get on.
I have to be very unlucky today, the new one seems to work but now i cant connect to my wifi..
EDIT: It dont work still no root access but it seems that the programs respond better..
Can i start ALL over removing the root and start on completely original firmware..
Yes, you can. Flash a stock rom in Odin. You can either look for your firmware here, Samfirmware.com or you can get the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on here), this will enable you to download the latest firmware for your phone model/country/carrier that you'd normally get via OTA update.
Once you're back on stock/have a clean slate you can have another go at rooting your phone if you want.
It's really strange that the kernels seem to be installing OK (your phone seems to work normally) but no root access. As to why that's happening, who knows ?
Yes it really is wierd, because everything do as it should no problem..
But i think maybe the first kernel i put on ****ed everything up but thats just a guess.. So now i will find the official firmware for my phone and then i will try with cf again and report back..
Yeah that's exactly right, and yes, maybe the first kernel messed something up. Yep, back on stock, then have another go with CFRoot & hopefully that works first go this time. Bookmark this thread & post back here & let us know how you go.

hey dude before applying the official firm ware just give a try the below
1) use a kernel cleaning script to clean the kernel then try flashing the Cf root kernel back and check for ROOt if its ok then u can leave there since it saves time
2) if it doesnt wrk that way then u can flash the official firmware and then root again
Too late i already go back to original firmware. And that works like a charm i think i will have another go at cf now.. But thanks for the answer..
Maybe i will try this is its wierd again
EDIT:
It works know, i got back to stock and then i flashed the cf kernel.. And now everything seems to work, i downloaded a root checker and it says that i have root access..
So i think it was the first kernel that messed things up..
Thanks for the help..
especially MistahBungle, you have been a big help to me thank you..

If you have a galaxy s3 I9300 just flash the Siyah kernel. It will Root your device and you can make some nice adjustments in the STweaks App. Why it didn`t work with the chainfire Kernel I don`t know. What did Odin say exactly?
You could try to flash it with Odin 1.85, It`s the most common used one.

Siyah gives you more control over the Kernel, so that you can make several adjustments (like over or underclocking of the cpu, so you have better batterylife), while CF auto Root sticks to the Stock Kernel with just Root enabled.
Did you enable USB Debugging before flashing with Odin?
Yes usb debugging is on
Status normal does not necessarily mean you're not rooted.
Try and install a root app. E.g..titanium backup...

Ok no one is rude here, but if you were familiar with the XDA Forum then you would know that there are many guys who ask questions like you do and some of them just flash random stuff that is not even intended for their phone and then come asking for help. You are not special and no one knows what experience you have with flashing something on your phone or if you even read the Chainfire thread.
Then second it`s CyanogenMod and not Cyangene mode
third: I already explained to you the difference between CF Auto Root and the Siyah kernel and if you want a kernel that saves battery then flash the Siyah kernel and make adjustments to your CPU/GPU, there are enough tutorials in here on how to achieve greater battery life with a kernel that supports adjustments like underclocking. There are also other Kernels like Perseus that enable high customization to the Kernel that you just don`t have with a Kernel that is fully Stock.
Also did you try all the tips that we gave you?
- Turn everything off that has to do with Kies
- Download Odin 1.85 and use it instead of Odin 3.07
- make sure you have USB Debugging on

If you want help I suggest you answer the questions I placed in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40429120
Secondly, as already stated, nothing is obvious....if you want people like me to help you then I suggest you just answer the questions so I can eliminate potential problems
In this forum I have seen 3 cases of wrong kernel flashes in the last 48 hours alone
If you can't help me to eliminate potential problems for you then I won't bother to help, simple.......so please answer the two questions that I posted
Hello,
I am currently using the Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300. Bought this device last April. At that time I was completely new to rooting device. I didn't know what to do. I searched online about rooting device, read many post by users in various blogs and threads here in XDA. Then I was very curious to root my device. But even then, though i knew what rooting was and its merits and demerits, i had no idea how to root my device. So I started searching again for an easy and fast way to root my device. Then I came me across the framaroot thread here and thanks to the developer of Framaroot, I was able to root my android safely without any problems. It was a very useful app for beginners who had no idea about rooting.
After few months, I received a firmware update. I had no idea what changes it would bring about in my device. In a hope to find out the new features, I updated the firmware. But sadly, there wasn't any noticeable change. So once again I seeked the help of framaroot to root my device. I was left with an error message and didn't know what to do. Again by searching on Google, I came to know about the OTA update about which I had no idea prior to the firmware update. I realized that the OTA update was a curse to Android rooting and I was left with my boring stock rom without anything. Today again I searched all over the Internet for a very safe and easy method to root my device but couldn't find anything like the framaroot. So here I am kindly requesting, the deveopers to kindly update the already existing methodsor make a new easy method to root android devices so that people new to android can experiment and enjoy root features. Sorry for the long story, thought it might be useful by explaining everything in detail. Hope I have not violated any of the XDA rules. If I did, I apologise for that too but please don't remove this thread. It would be very nice if anyone can find a solution as there are many people in the same situation as I am right now.
Thanking XDA and all the developers for there services.

Thanks for the post. Nevers seen this before. I will surely try it out. I have heard about odin before but was not confident to use it as I thought it may brick my device. Is there any root apps like Framaroot that can help make the process a lot faster and easier without the use of a computer.

1- Its the fastest and most reliable method I femilliar with- just follow the vid orders step by step (according to your device model), and no harm
should be made (unless you plug out your device in the middle of the process, or using a different model type- but even those can be resolved).
2- No apps that I know. Although i would not recommend it even if I found one- just seems too riksy than using the computer...
Basically all the OP questions are answered in the faqs and guides .
Root is constantly updated as and when possible but its not a simple question of just making a new one . Read the relevant root threads .
Stock recovery

Not with stock recovery no!!..But you can flash philz recovery with odin ( I know you say you don't like using it but it is a well tried method) also look at this >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969 <<

If it was only that easy on S3 would save a lot of trouble ..yep follow instructions in thread and use PhilZ .tar.md5 not the zip file and if you are flashing CM 11 you do not need to root the rom is already rooted.

Okieee bro
But... again....what is the difference between flashing in odin and recovery? So for any future process I can avoid all these doubts.
Searched online. Couldn't find anything that tells the difference.

Without giving you a long explanation you flash custom roms in recovery (.zip files) and stock roms (.tar) in odin and same for recoveries.

Ow ok ok...thats explains a bit
Thanks.
Something is tempting me to try it out. Lol. If it works, i will report it here and it will help other s3 users too. At the same time, something prevents me from doing it. I get a feeling of bricking my device. Then I will have to fix that too
Before I do something like that, can u predict if it may work since the same method worked for the N7000 or can u tell me if have you tried it before? (Please tell me if I am annoying u, it doesn't matter )

If you mean flashing through stock recovery no!! N7000 a different device Brick comes to mind I think you need to read the stickies a bit more if you are thinking of doing things like that!!
