Rooting s2 question. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well let me start by saying I have rooted phones before, so I know a decent amount of the processes. But it's been a while.
My question is, is there currently a one click root method for an sgs2 on sprint running ics 4.0.4? A friend of mine just got one and he wants me to root it for him like I did his evo a while back.

I believe that method was patched in 2.3.6, and this guy is on 4.0.4. (and this is still in the wrong forum for him)

Both my post and the one that you said isn't right is what came on your phone the day it launched. If that's not what you are looking for then I don't know what to tell you.

If it's not what you looking for then what you are actually looking for anyway?
Both links provided by Nik0n and Dope are exactly what you asked for.
Note: it is I777UCKH7 (not KK7), which is a firmware built for 2.3.4.

In that case, you had firmware that no one here has ever seen. No one has seen a leak for this device since UCKK6, and you claim to have a newer build?
I find it extremely difficult to believe that your device, and only your device, had some sort of build no one else has seen out of the box.

+1! Pics or it didn't happen
Also you claim to be looking for "2.3.4 UCKK7" - it would not make sense for Samsung to release a 2.3.6 build (UCKK6) and then immediately afterwards release a 2.3.4 build.
I'm 99% certain you misread the H as a second K and are looking for UCKH7 which has been linked to you multiple times.

Well, you're the one who was linked to UCKH7 and responded with "that's not what I'm looking for"... Then you said you were going to return the device because UCKK6 sucked.

A few questions about rooting

Hello all! OG Evo user here, I have been given the task of rooting my boss's phone.
My first obstacle is that I see three different 'android development' sections. Galaxy S II, Galaxy S II original, and I9100S (might have got that wrong, I'm on my phone!). I see no stickies that explain this.. is it carrier specific? She has US Cellular. This leads me to my next question.
Does her carrier matter? I don't need some sort of US Cellular specific file do I? Not flashing any roms, I just want root so we can clean up her system and tether.
Last question, is clockworkmod recovery worth two craps on this phone? Cause on the OG Evo it's worthless. The only ones worth using on my phone are AmonRA and variants of it.
Thanks guys!

First thing you do is look at the sticker on the chassis of the phone under the battery & report the details back here. We don't do/tell you anything until you've done that.

Yes. All of it.
Reason being, I'm not going to be the person who tells you to do X assuming you have SGS2 variant A when in fact you have SGS2 variant B & doing X could brick the phone (I'm using X, A & B as examples; they're not literal).

Specifically model number. On US Cellular I suspect the model is SCH-R760.
Ok I will check it when I get the chance this week. Thanks guys!

If all you're shooting for is root access, try Superoneclick. Always worked for me.
You need to have ADB on the 'puter and the phone in debug mode.

One more thing. If I'm right about the model, then definitely don't flash anything from this forum, as this is the forum for the i9100, which is a different model phone

Skyrocket root failed!

This may be the wrong place but since my internet provider has went on vacation for the night, im putting it where ever i possibly can.
I rooted my skyrocket thru odin. everything looks fine. Used cwm to flash superuser.zip but titanium back up and busy box are both telling me that i am not rooted. Superuser app is installed but not asking permissions for anything.
I am running the latest android 4.0.4...could that be my problem? Thanks

[Q] How to root RUU ARA 3.13.415.2 without downgrading?

Greetings,
long story short I was doing some test on ROMs went to CM7 and other version then blackout ICS but all fails with me since CM doesn't have Internet-pass through and BK ICS has hotspot and VoIP problems + some lacking, so I went back to RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_ARA_3.13.415.2_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_227469_signed
which made me lose my root but comes with Android version 2.3.5, for rooting it tired to use SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse , unlook root 2.4.2 and finaly aahk-11092012, the first 2 didn't work out with, on the other hand AAHK made it root..etc but with a cost that have to downgrade to 2.3.3, so I'm back to square one is how to root 2.3.5 without down grading?
I believe i have something missing and I don't know what it it.

Sure,.. Thanks
This is a very lofty goal. Moto f*cked this thing so much that we would need a miracle to unlock 2.3.5. I'm not saying you shouldn't try, and with no development experience myself I have no room to talk. I just know that others have tried and have been fruitless, or frauds... I do hope you can crack this **** open, however. This is a devoted community and the ones still with a photon know how great a device we have. I plan on using this phone until it won't boot anymore and I hope that we can bring it to its full potential.

Okay ladies and gentleman I know were all looking for a method to unlock bootloader for 2.3.5 on our photons, don't give up. I'm using my photon on family mobile by doing the methods described in a previous thread. I used RSD lite to flash a us cellular sbf file. I followed all instructions and now I'm using my locked photon on 2.3.5. I flashed kddi file and have my GSM radio unlocked with peetr's rom. Its all working smoothly so I say to all my fellow locked photon users ... you can still use your phone on any GSM network. I know we want to flash a ICS or JB rom but for the time being the method works. Don't give up cause it will be a pity if xda lets this awesome phone go.
