Samsung has their own recovery on all galaxy device. So you don't need root to boot to it
To boot to recovery,
-Off your phone,
-Hold Volume up + home button + power button together
-Remove your hands from those buttons when your phone lights up.
I'm sure all this info is in that thread.
Read carefully and be a little patience

I have just updated to 4.0.4 on my galaxy s2 and have lost root. Ive looked about the forums and am really unsure of how to root it again, being concerned over the brick bug etc.
Is there a safe to re-root? CWM has been removed from apps so presume that has gone.

When flashing a different rom, always do a full wipe(factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache) or else you'll end up in a bootloop.

No, you cant get the brick bug in Siyah. Its present only in Samsung kernels and ones based on it, like Cf-root.
Siyah is completely safe, dont worry.

can you give a tutorial link
It is worth to invest few bucks in Chainfire's Mobil Odin Pro from Playstore to flash any Rom (stock or custom) with EverRoot option. It is good solution for people with moderate knowledge about flashing, rooting, etc. It's also safer method for those people because there is no chance to screw up bootloader or choose inproper flash images to selected partitions.
But flashing original stock ICS and rooting it is not so hard. It's free but you need to know some basics.

Heya
I'm rooting my phone for the first time. Had a quick look around the web and couldn't find the exact instructions for rooting the stock XXLQ6. However I have read that using the instructions set for xxlq5 is safe and won't cause any major issues.
Should I root the XXLQ6 using XXLQ5 instructions?
If not, please recommend any(safest) instructions on how I should root the XXLQ6.
Flash siyah kernel from www.gokhanmoral.com. Download the odin flashable one and flash it.
I suggest you be extremely careful if you follow another guide, since the stock kernel you have is dangerous and can hardbrick your phone.

That kernel is rooted. When you flash it, you wont have to do anything else to root it. Simply flash it from the pda section in odin.

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Hi. I'm new to rooting and i would just like to make sure that I can use siyah kernel to safely backup/restore and wipe data/factory reset. I have the emmc brick bug (i checked using the app in the play store). It read that if i use stock kernel that i can hardbrick my deivce if i wipe data or restore a backup but is it the same situation with siyah kernel. Is is 100% safe to use this kernel. Sorry if this is a stupid question but i couldn't really find the answer anywhere else. I just want to make sure doing this will be safe.
My galaxy s2 is on 4.0.4 , i9100xxlq6 and pda is i9100xwlpt
Thanks

Please provide answers to these questions:
1. Do you know how to use Odin?
2. Do you have external SD card?

I have never used odin before but I have watched many YouTube videos about rooting so I have a little about how to use it but I'm not quite sure.
As for the sd card, I don't use one but I do have one lying around from my old phone.
Thanks for the reply btw

Don't wipe anything, or make any backup after rooting your phone. Let me know when your phone is rooted, then I'll guide about flashing a custom kernel immediately. This way you are safe.
Or
If you are so, so scared, then i will advise you to flash a custom kernel via Odin at once. This is faster and safer in your case.
So which one do you prefer?

network lock control key
Hi gents,
I have SGS2 running ICS 4.0.4, baseband V. I9100XXLQ6. Till yesterday my phone was working well, but today I received the error that says "enter network lock control key", I checked little bit in internet how to resolve this error but I can't find any safe solution. I thing that only way is to root my phone but also I read that my baseband have some bug's. So can someone please help me how to root my phone or any other solution hot to avoid network lock control key.
Thanks in advance

Rooting
Hey there,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II, the info about the phone is in the attachment (Screenshot). I have been considering to root my phone lately due to the problems with my GPS. I have understood, that by rooting my phone, I can have access to such apps as FasterFix and GPS Aids which should solve the problem of changing my NTP server. I guess, that since the phone was bought abroad, it hasn't got the correct server in my country. So tell me, what is the best and the safest way to root my phone and is it even a good idea? Maybe you have other solutions? Anyways, I hope for your help, dear XDA-Developers
Cheers,
Olev.
EDIT:
Just checked the Got Brick bug? app. Found out that the kernel indeed is Known to have the bug. Really hoping for your help in solving this problem before I do something wrong with the phone.
Thank you in advance,
Olev.
Hi,
I using these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449771
Of course to recover from soft brick possible a NAND rw coruption.
and I have questions regarding this thread:
1. It says there that there are no kernel, .PIT or bootloader for the G/M/P/T versions, so if I have the T version I need to use the kernel under "ICS VERSION" in blue title ? By this link: http://www.mediafire.com/?65a5a59666hdopx ?
2. If so, I can't open this file it says CRC failed the file is corrupt and I have downloaded the file a few times already, does anyone have a link for this file ?
3. If I need a different kernel for my GTI-9100T version, can anyone provide me a link for it ? because I think it's a NAND rw coruption which means I will need to do step 5 in that thread.
4. In the steps he says "You'll see CODE, MODEM, CSC and .PIT. Put each one in its place..." since for my T version I only have one .tar.md5 file I need to put it in the PDA, but what about step number 8 ? from where I can download the bootloader ? anyone have a link for that ?
the OP there only says "only flash what is in the provided package" for the T version, but again, I only have 1 file..
Thank you.

I didn't even start.
I am trying first to understand the steps.
I can't go into recovery mode only download mode.
I don't see the bootanimation only the SGS2 logo and then it flashes white.
I really need answers to those questions, the tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449771 is good but the kernel file doesn't open and all the questions I asked above.
Thank you.

Good.
My assumption:
I think your gf probably tried to use ROM manager. I think she wanted to flash recovery and thus it wiped her recovery, and soft bricked the phone.
Because, ROM manager is the only dangerous thing that can do that in CM9.
Can you try to confirm if my assumption is right?

Download Siyah kernel (.tar Odin version): www.gokhanmoral.com/
Flash it via Odin

You cash still follow it if you want but the one will not harm. This may actually work faster. So I'll advise you give it a try.
BTW, the mediafire link you initially posted, is a GT i9100 kernel, it won't boot your phone since your ROM is CM9.
That's why i want you to flash Siyah kernel first, since it's compatible with CM9 and if this doesn't work, then I'll guide you through that post
