Yes, you can

Either through Odin (i think) or pull the battery out. That is assuming that entering download mode is all you have done

Just hold power button until phone reboot.

Sir would do well to read through some of the guides (at least the highlights on the first few posts)
Chainfire wrote the following:
and pretty much all you need to know is
Instructions - ODIN (long)
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)

Then it's a matter of finding a kernel with a TAR that you're comfortable with and doing the above with that kernel rather than CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar although CF-Root is a fine stock insecure (rooted) kernel.
Personally, I rather like the Siyah kernel for which you can pick up the TAR file (you use TAR files with Odin) here
Consider donating a small amount to Gok if you have sufficient disposable income (same applies to anything you use long-term, IMHO).
You're welcome to PM me but be aware that I may take a while to respond (my wife is in hospt...)
Good luck and play carefully!

Or someone who is nervous about breaking their expensive phone, knows that they have voided their warranty and hoped to find someone kind enough to hold their hand.
What I don't understand,@Theunderlying,is the motivation behind your post. If you don't wish to aid, why not just stay silent and avoid diminishing the reputation of the community. I hope it's not some reactionary neurosis because no one ever helped you early on forcing you to learn yourself with the aid of what has been discussed in the forums and that you don't like to see others degrading the purity of the forums now that you are better informed.

This is actually worse than what @Theunderlying posted.
The thing is, OP would not respond to useful questions and answers in his other thread, while he kept asking the same question here.
I guessed that was what pissed @Theunderlying off.
Personally i believe the OP is a little impatient, bit in a hurry and he probably doesn't need that because if anything bad should happen to his phone, he will only have himself to blame

My motivation is to snap you out of being a lazy noob rule-breaker.Do you think I could have been doing other things than reading rules/guides and searching.
And your phone isnt more expensive than most of the users on here.
You could have read the rules AND the cm9 install instructions in the same time it took you to reply in your previous post.

i have a question for you guys what i have not
do for to get a cell phone brick ?
i have read many threads and the only way for to get it is by using application rom manager thats right or i can get a brick cell phone in odin software.
what if by a mistake set files in a wrong order in odin software
galaxy ace cf gingerreal v1.0 kph
thanks in advance
WHY would you put the wrong files in ODIN, just read the tutorial and follow it correctly?
And to kinda answer the question, what've read is that ODIN will not brick you phone, you might be able to get a bootloop though (just reflash and it should work fine).
Read the newbie guide(sticky thread) about Rom manager, it should be supported now but be cautious, better to use CWM app instead, or just reboot your phone to CWM (dont be lazy).
People brick their phone when unlocking their phone, there should be a proper solution that works without having to brick you phone.

Hi
I'm sure you get this a lot, but I really suck at this. Its my third week surfing these forums and I still can't put a step by step guide in my head on how to root it. A lot of the phrases are out of my understanding, so I'm going to ask and hope someone replies
Here's what I got : Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100. Android 4.0.3 , Kernel 3.0.15-I9100XXLPS-CL294511, Build number IML74K.XXLPS
The question is this : Can I root it with 1 click? Truly, without searching for some drivers and stuff I'm not sure I'll find.
Please be aware that I really suck at this, and that I'm basically rooting my phone for Market Enabler and to remove that thing that pops when you double tap center key, the voice command thing, drives me nuts.
Thank you and have a great day!

Use the XX_OXA_LPS CF-Root kernel to root. (find it by doing a "find on page" on the thread) Follow the instructions in post 1.
You will need Kies installed, but not running, for drivers. (or the standalone Samsung USB drivers) Both or either can be found easily with a Google search.
Hey,
Thank you for your quick reply! I do have Kies, as it came on the phones SD card
I will give this a go right now, thank you again for saving me moar weeks of search <3

I didn't download it to check, but just watching the video, (at 3:02) the command window that pops up clearly says "Easy rooting toolkit (v2.0) created by DooMLoRD" up at the top, followed by "Modified by Max Lee @ GalaxyS2Root.com". (I believe Max Lee is zedomax, but I don't know for sure)
I don't know what this Max Lee fellow changed, but I'm willing to bet that the actual exploit used to gain root is exactly the same, yes.

That's because it doesn't matter if USB debugging is on or off for Odin flashes.

Use the return to stock with root one click method linked above.
Then install mobile odin and flash a clockwork mod enabled kernel like entropy's daily driver or siyah, make sure you download the gingerbread version.
Now that you have cwm you can install any cwm flashable ROM (which most are).
Make sure you read all stickies and search first before asking. Enjoy!

first of all sorry if this is a repeated thread, very new to this site and no offense intended. please point me in the right direction if this is the case.
phone is very unresponsive with either a battery symbol (with circle inside - frozen) or galaxy s2 load up screen with triangle. I have previously rooted the phone with a litening rom through odin v 1.85. i was running a version of ICS on it and this morning i tried to upgrade to jellybean as a forum on this site had said it was possible. firstly in clockwork mod (holding power, vol up and home button) somewhere through the process of putting the file on the phone (instructions said to carry out the process through the clockwork mod) i have made a grave error. If I was able to get the phone to be recognised by the laptop I would be able to flash another stock kernel through odin to at least get me back functional and worry about tweaking later. Currently the phone won't recognise as a drive to the laptop though. Any advice people? Perhaps a suggestion also of a location of stock kernel for australian samsung galaxy s2 (using the virgin network).

Hi (newb alert)
First of all thanks for all the info - followed the pistacchio thread to regenerate phone, that worked great. however, now once the phone is going again, repeatedly getting an overvoltage error message (did not have before) and the battery dying very quickly. I also cannot access the 3G network, but wifi is fine.
Can you recommend a course of action for this, not sure if i have flashed back to a complete stock rom or not, does that mean that the phone is still rooted? I would like to flash another rom if possible, but am not asking what one to use (have seen the rules of the site Sometimes the battery is even flashing . kernel version is 3.0.15-I9100XXLPH-CL118559 and build number is IML74K.XXLPH.
Any more info needed I am happy to provide. I was really happy with the slim ICS rom and would like to stick with that in the jellybean option if possible.
thanks
Go as stock as possible before going custom again.
See if issues persists.
Make sure you flash the right ROM for your device, noticed you're on I9100 ROM and you've only stated you own an "s II" , so, I cannot recommend any specific ROM because of the variants.
