That's because the victims will not read to understand what needs to be done. All they do is rushing into what they do not understand. They just take the easiest route to rooting their phone.

so if i wanted to go to rooted, i would download I777 UCKH7 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root) Odin3 One-Click Downloaders? and is OTA an option for all of these still? lastly, i just use odin to flash? do i need to use Heimdall Command Line?
... Keep reading. You will understand in a few days if you just keep reading. Here's a link you should read. ALL links in that thread have the information that you need to understand the basics of rooting and flashing.
Once those threads are read, twice, in full, return with your remaining questions if you have any. I'm not being a prick, I'm trying to save you some hassle and get you the help you are asking for.
Please do not take my advice above for granted.

So here are the steps I followed to install jelly beans today on my Samsung Galaxy S2 i777 (AT&T):
My existing OS was official ICS (based on updated from AT&T)
1) I followed this tutorial: http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-sgh-i777-att-android-4-1-1-jelly-bean-supernexus-rom-109992/
2) After reading the tutorial, I came to know that before installing jelly beans, it requires: custom recovery (e.g., ClockworkMod Recovery) installed
3) Bases on the link provided in the tutorial, I did this: http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-i777-att-root-clockworkmod-recovery-76868/
4) As soon as I did this, in Odin, it was successfully passed, I say yellow traingle with i9100 on it..
5) I took battery out and put it back and still I was not able to turn ON my phone and same yellow traingle with i9100 on it...
6) I tried switching this:
Pull the battery and leave it out.
Hold down volume button and plug in the USB cable. (PC will supply the power)
This should boot the phone into download mode.
7) Finally, after online research I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18859438&postcount=199
8) It was a relief then my phone was started after performing the stock install (based on above link). - Then I realized that it was gingerbread - so basically I was in old version of android.
9) Since the above link says, STOCK, so I was assuming that it is stock version so I should be able to get the official updates from AT&T. and get ICS atleast to be back at the point where I started.
10) I went to setting > software update.. - It downloaded update and finally it was done and it is 2.3.6 version (still gingerbread).
Now I don;t know if I have the original stock version ? If yes then why I didn't get ICS update since AT&T have already released the ICS update and that's how I got my update before I tired all this ?
Another confusion is that, if this is not stock version then I should have not been able to even download any software update, but I was able to do this and android version got updated from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6..
Can anyone please guide me in a right direction, what exactly happened and how to get ICS at least or jelly beans ?

Don't be discouraged by the Pirate troll squad. Trolling is all that they know how to do.
It could be that you need to try updating later. I don't know if AT&T's servers put a limit on the number of updates that are available at a certain time and for certain users. They like to throttle everything else. So, it wouldn't be overly surprising. It could just be a matter of restarting the device and attempting to update again. The fact that you were able to acquire one of the updates shows that you are able to get them.

1. OTA updates won't take you from GB to ICS. You have to use kies or download a ROM from here.
2. You need to search and read the stickies for this device. They will give you everything you need to load cwm on your phone and from there you can flash away.
3. Just as a heads up from a fellow android lover, if you post in xda about issues you are having running ROMs or using walkthroughs from other sites, you are asking to get flamed. I am not condoning it or anything, just letting you know what to expect.
4. If after reading the stickies and researching, you are still having an issue, post back here or even shoot me a pm. There are plenty of helpful people on xda, we just want you to learn rather then be spoon fed. It's the whole give a man a fish vs teaching him to fish thing.

With all due respect to "other sites", don't use them. Everything you need to root, get CWM, and flash what ever rom you desire is right here in this very forum(i777). Whatever you flashed from another site could have possibly contained some i9100 stuff that borked the install. Read the stickies and you'll be fine.

Hey,
So I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 to ICS 4.0.4 before 1-2 months. The new graphics and extra features looked really great at first, but 2 hours after using it on normal applications (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter.) It froze and did nothing, like literally just freezes at the screen it lagged on. This has been happening continuously for the past 2 months and I'm really sick of it, I upgraded my phone and my dad's one (both SGS2I9100) using Samsung Kies, ever since that, it just keeps freezing like 4 times a day and I have to take off my battery and re-put it so it can reset since nothing will do this.. The old the firmware I had was the really amazingly going well and never lagged even once (I can't remember which firmware though). I'm a total noob, I didn't and don't have my phone rooted or some stuff like that, expect downloading APKs off the internet lol.
I really want someone to help me in this, I know there must be a solution since I don't think I'm the only one who has been annoyed by this, specially when it happens on a daily routine. I searched over the forums and found nothing. I know there must be something talking about the issue but I'm too nooby to understand the article titles which might be a solution of my problem.
Please help me in my problem it really bothers me and xda is my last hope...
Thank you all.
Note: please use simple terms because I really won't understand, and if you do, please teach me them lol.
Well, first of all your up for some reading.
While you go from thread to thread you'll run into the world of ROMs and flashing.
The first thing you have to know is that your device comes with 4 things:
1) Hardware (dah)
2) Kernel (link between Hardware & OS)
3) ROM (OS)
4) Modem (Baseband for your country / Region)
You are actually on 4.0.4, It's Kernel is known to suffer the brick bug issue.
Flashing is used to get the best from your device, in relation to your personal user experience. You got plenty of options like Stock Roms and Custom Roms, as well as Stock Kernels and custom kernels.
When flashing stock roms you get the chance to get rid of your carrier stuff (bloatware and animation boot) by getting an unbranded ROM (samsung official stock rom), you can either go down to previous versions (Gingerbread, ICS 4.0.3) or even go up (Jelly bean leaked ROM). Carrier branded or not, it's just a matter of choice.
When flashing custom roms you get a whole lot of roms to choose from. The most common are CyanogenMod (CM), RR (revolution remix), Omega and etcetera. These roms take the best of the stock roms and leave the worst, so you'll get a more personalized experience.
When Flashing custom kernels your trying to get the best performance for your ROM, this means you can use a stock ROM with a custom kernel.
Modems are basebands that let your carrier network function in your region / country, so if you flash a modem, your network might not work, so you'll have to flash another modem and so on.
Check all that out and if you decide to go on flashing, we are here to help you on the easiest / safest way to do it.
rembember to read and re-read all first.
you did notice this is now your official post right?
Okay I kinda get it, can you kindly please send me links that will help my problem? I'd rather downgrade with Stock ROM than a costum one.
Another thing, will it affect anything that has to do with my Carier? and does my phone have to be rooted in order this to work? If so how can I?
Many thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
try sammobile.com
they have plenty of stock roms.
I'd personally advice you to get 4.0.3 stock ROM. What's you carrier? I could look it up for you while you learn about flashing/downgrade.
That's what I was thinking of too, and it's Orange IL (Israel)
I need you you to tell me how do it too please

When the guy doesn't read it was a good advice to start doing it, because it's not really allowed to ask everything that is allready asked so many times.
When he actually does read, but doesn't understand (which I don't think because he's asking basic question about steps he must take) then it's maybe better to rethink if he's really going to flash something because he doesn't know what he's doing

Why don't you just flash a stock rom through Odin? No offence but I'm serious, the lack of knowledge you show here by asking about Recovery to me seems to be a sign you shouldn't root it at all, and learn a whole lot more about flashing and more if you want to.

Hello
So i just wanted to make a small and clear thread where newbies like me can come and check the most common answers.
Okay so my questions are -
I am Running 2.3.6 Gingerbread Stock on my i777
I bought this phone second hand so i dont know about the past of this phone.Also i bought this phone is US and then came to India.
My Phone -
Stock Kernel - i777UCKK6
Stock Rom - 2.3.6 - Gingerbread
I've read that many people are having problems on galaxys2root.com and have even bricked their phone by Installing wrong kernels.
So can you please tell me which Kernel i should flash ?
And which rom should i flash ?
Also will Flashing a new rooted ROM on my phone Lock my phone with At&t ?
Search and read.

It's best to stay away from that site entirely. The site developer has multiple similar sites for many different phones, and apparently does it for the money, and is not really very good at helping people. Also, while he is a developer, his products sometimes, as you mentioned, cause severe problems.

Some of the JellyBean based roms will. SHOstock3 will. Most of the others won't. If that happens, you can unlock it again for free with GalaxSim Unlock, as long as you download it from the developers thread and not purchase it on the market.

Hey, why don't you read Creepy's stickies for once? It's got everything you need. Without reading the stickies you won't follow the tips properly even if someone spoon feed you.
Hi Creepy, thanks for the wonderful tutorials. I have an unlocked 777 and rooted with that stickies only.
On a side note, ShoStock 3 will not cause loosing the unlock status for every devices. I haven't lost my unlock status after flashing ShoStock 3.

I don't really think you can root your phone with a stock ROM
The way to root via odin is with a kernel.
if you don't know how, i recommend http://galaxys2root.com/
No disrespect intended....but forget galaxys2root.com........all the info you need can be found right here on XDA......and the chances are that 'other' websites got their info here anyway.......
As previously mentioned.....rooting with a custom kernel is your best bet......
Some kernels require flashing via Odin, but at least one can be flashed via the stock recovery.....
You can also use chainfires cf root.
Read some of the 'stickeyed' threads under the various S2 forums for links to the info you need.

Here's a quick guide for you good look I hope it helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCgncF59mwE
No, you're not supposed to have repartition ticked. Do you want people to end up with busted phones or something ?

actually i heard about this website before i knew about xda. so thats why i recommended it
So ? It's a bit much to expect most people here to help bozos who insist on using stuff from other sites when every method to do every thing you could ever want to do with this phone can be easily found here & people can easily get help if they get stuck.
This is the point that was clearly lost on you.

Hmm i'm not totally clear on what you're trying to say.
I know there are lots of methods to root at xda, but as i used it myself and was very confident while using their guides i just recommended it insted of looking for a good root method here. ( i haven't searched for any in xda as it's unnecessary)
And as most of guided are originated from xda as keithross said, we can easily help the person whether the guide is from xda or elsewhere.
The points that mistahbungle and I are making are...
1) the OP is here on XDA.
2) YOU are here on XDA
3) all the info that the OP needs is here on XDA.
And yet here you are, referring the OP AWAY from XDA......
What's the point in that?
And for info.....everything I looked at on that website has or appears to have been kanged straight from XDA anyway.....including rom and kernel assets (I think alliance rom and jeboo kernel to name just two were created by devs who posted them on XDA)......without mention of XDA or the devs who actually did all the hard work to create the software........not exactly showing support for the community, is it?
