hey guys, well I've just rooted my device as you can tell from the above title. I've downloaded rom manager, have superSU pre-installed prior to the root and now I'm clueless on how to flash roms. what do I do from here? how do I install roms? I've also used sony's backup and restore app to backup my stuff. what's the next approach? help please! sorry guys this is my first time rooting an android device. :/ any help would be gladly appreciated!
What method did you use for root? In order to flash Roms you need CWM recovery. You can get that by flashing any of the custom kernels.

I want to root my Galaxy S2 and have ICS or Jelly Bean or the best possible. I have been reading guides and tutorials on how to do this. I don't want anything to go wrong or brick my phone. One guide said I should get a new kernal, custom rom and a new OS to maximise the performance possible. All of this is getting very confusing for me and I don't know which direction to go. There are also two popular methods of rooting a Galaxy S2 which is using super one click or flashing an insecure kernal and then rooting the s2 using odin. I don't know which method is better but I would like to keep all the data in my apps which can be done using titanium backup. I would also like to have clockwork mod just incase anything goes wrong. The guides also said the best custom rom is by cyanagenmod. Could someone push me in the right direction and tell me what I should do and what I shouldn't.

What ROM are you on right now. Could you please attach a screenshot of the about section of your phone so that its easier to hand you the links to correct kernel? Briefly, what you need to do is to search the cf root thread by chainfire, get the cf root closest to your kernel version, and flash it to gain root access. What exactly would you like? Stock or custom rom? ICS or JB?

I got a stock rom right now. Exactly how it was when I first got the phone. Haven't updated. What is cf root? And can't I root using super one click? I want the jelly bean if that's the best I can get without any bugs or problems.

once u root u can backup ur apps with titanium backup and then after flashin a different rom u can restore it
So should I root using super one click?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Why do I need to update to ics? Can't I just root and then flash custom rom?
What would be the difference?

I did, and this isnt s flashable zip, this is script to root on pc, flashable is in cwm?
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
and how do you want to flash it?? there's a superuser flashable zip in the dev section (I think) but you need cwm installed, and to install cwm you need root, so you first have to use that pc script I posted.
With that you don't need the flashable superuser, but is still necessary after you flash some custom rom
let me get this straight...
u can't unlock your bootloader and yet u're asking for a flashable zip for CWM?????
uhh... enlighten everyone of us here please... we are all very confused if that's the case...
Thanks so much for ur post
For u who confuse, i cant unlock my bootloader, but i can root and than install cwm, than i flash a rom, but without bootloader unlocked, after u flash a rom, cwm and superuser will not work, which is why i need to reflash the zip of these two right after i flashed a rom
Cheers!

are you saying I need to update the firmware first then root? Please provide link to rooting guide
Maybe I am to simple but installing cwm app, download your kernel, boot into recovery and then flash the kernel its the common way..

You can't possibly search for 3 hours, it's in stickys or first page. You just need to update firmware, root, install cwm, and install the rom. you don't even need a custom kernel

Okay so here is an update thanks for the help:
Updated the Rom
Managed to Root Phone got super user access
Installed X-Parts
Install CWF
Located the Rom I wanted to install, installed it, went to 100% ticked reboot. Now my phone is stuck at the Sony Logo
Any ideas?
I think i've managed to unbrick it and restore it to the official stock ROM. really confused as why it got bricked in the first place...I selected all the correct options on the rom very confused, I think I'm not going to risk another attempt at Xperia Ultimate HD ROM. Can anyone see where I went wrong?
Maybe you did something wrong while formatting?

Bad wipes? You should read installation instructions. Usually is wipe data, wipe cache, format system, wipe dalvik, and then install
You unlocked it right? Get a custom kernel wipe every partition and start again

Our device's recovery don't support flashing .IMG or .sin files, so flashing kernel in recovery is not possible...unlike Samsung phones which can flash kernel in recovery our phones can flash it in fastboot mode only...

Hey guys,
Just got an S3 and I need help rooting it and installing a custom rom. So far I'm clueless cause I was using bmm to install custom rom on my atrix 2.
