Check your phones development thread, there are separate threads for each version of the SGSII make sure you have the correct thread for your phone.

I have the same issue as bartoloandre98...
I am on 4.0.3
Thanks

zergRush is not able to root ICS ROMs.

---

Do you now which one i can use to root my device but i don't want the yellow triangle on the boot up
Thanks

---

Yes, I do. You can too by doing a little looking.

---

Find a matching (or closest match) CFRoot kernel (assuming you have an I9100/T), flash it. Done. Root + CWM. Not rocket surgery.
Unless you're having a whole heap of problems you haven't told us about I.E "I have the same issue as bartoloandre98...I am on 4.0.3" is vague as you know what. Bit hard to help you without details
P.S - Zergrush won't work with 4.0.3
Edit - Oinky is right. This stuff has been done to death on here.

---

Oh well
Thanks for the update and your kind help
Thanks

Just downloaded Odin. Open it via a pc and flash a kernel like siyah which contains CWM. Make sure its tar format and open this in pda in Odin then your flashed.
Will take approx 15 seconds
