i want to know is which will be best for me
i want to know is what to use to root my sgs2

some utility apps need your phone to be rooted, and you can do anything with your system files. if you want to root it, just use CF-Root made by chanfire, but dont forget to use the one for 9100G, it wont work if you use the 9100 one.
it doesnt work much to your battery if u only root your phone, my advice is just upgrade your ROM to ICS and use some custom kernel, pick one with better performance.
good luck

ok i will do that but i dont know how to use what software and what not??? how will i know what is best for me?? i am totally noob plz help

GsII Root
First you need to find the correct place your ROMS are located in this forum, you may have to search a bit for your Carrier Branded GsII. For example the GsII for Sprint is called the Epic 4G Touch. Dont get the wrong version for your phone or it could cause you problems as each carrier has a special hw version of each line of phones regardless if the manufacturer is the same.
You can user ODIN and load a stock-rooted ROM on the phone. Then use CWM once you get it rooted to load updates or new ROMS.
i got the international version, can you help me how i can root it ? its android 2.3.6

[Q] HELP! Manual update from 2.2.2

Hello all,
In advance i just want to say sorry if im missing a thred that can already help me and if i am a link would be great,
I am in the uk, this is the current spec of my phone...
Android version
2.2.2
Kernal version
2.6.32.9
software version
V10d-APR-27-2011
If any more info is needed then i will be happy to post it
OK, i am on the 3 network and have sent an email to LG regarding updating to 2.2.3 and they say that it is only available in the UK on the T-mobile network, I want to no if i can manually update to 2.2.3 that is compatible with the UK and my network. If not is there anyway to unlock my phone to make it compatible?
I have already rooted my phone using Gingerbreak
If i can update is there anywhere where i can get download links and a step by step guide that will work on my phone? i have been through many posts that explain things but i still am not to sure whether they will work with my phone, and if the ROM will work with my phone.
If i could get some advice or if someone could point me in the right direction of a post that will help me i would be most grateful!
Again i'm sorry if i am completely missing the obvious, i'm just a n00b in the process of learning.
Ive been stuck at the same point in the process for months
Thanks
Sorry!
I meant that i want to update to 2.3 gingerbread, or if anyone no's of any better ROM's that would be great, i generally use my phone for games, apps, music and browsing the internet so i just assumed that the official 2.3 ROM would be a better option but i am open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me Kudo's
Download rom manager from market and flash clock wok rocovery and use a rom from ther they are mostly based on 2.3 or if you looking for something more advanced with tweeks download a rom from here make shur you have the right baseband 1st

Read Lord Boeffla's Thread on his CM kernel and follow the instructions in the OP. Simple as that.
