You know, there is a great thing called "Google". Just use it. I don't think you're a noob with searching, or you would have not found xda^^

However Many40 is too kind to help you here, use the search button. You aren't the first one who is going to try this, so maybe put a little effort in finding the answer as it's allready given before in other threads.

its there a video tutorial of how to do this?
I don't know... Try google. But seriously, it's a step by step list of what to do. If you're unsure, maybe you shouldn't be rooting.
Why do you want to root anyways? If you can't answer that question with a valid reason, maybe you shouldn't be trying to root in the first place.

Excuse me the member of xda-developer,

Now i have already had Odin3 v3.04 and i have had a firm ware already. I9100XWLPO_I9100NEELP4_I9100XXLQ6_NEE\I9100XWLPO_I9100NEELP4_I9100XXLQ6_HOME.tar.md5 where i take it from the hotfile website.
I am not sure yet with the process of rooting. and Can it be rooted to use in My country( Cambodia).
i would like to hearing your response as soon as possible.

[Q] in need of 100% working root

Could someone help me out, i have looked everywhere for a 100% working root for Samsung Galaxy s2 i777 4.0.4 ICS, i have tried a few diffrent roots like galaxys2root and the camera wont work or the video wont work or bluetooth, thats why i am looking for a root that is 100% working, If anybody has any information on this topic please let me know because ive been searching for over a week now. I'll be watching the forum to see if anybody replys to my post, Thank in advance.
You need to learn how to search better if after a week you didn't come across exynosabuse

I never said I didn't find any, I said I haven't found any that work 100 percent, there's always something that doesn't work, you don't have to sound like a smartass when I was only asking a simple question, and I know how to search and research perfectly fine thank you..

I have a SGH-i777 and Affected Exynos 4210 devices:
- Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000
- Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100
- AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I777
so no im guessing exynosabuse wont work
Guess again. I used it, and used my phone for nearly a week before I flashed a custom kernel and rom. I never noticed anything not working. Though if you are running 4.0.4 I would suggest doing some more research here. Read, read, and read some more. Then flash a custom kernel and rom. Your phone will thank you for it.

It DOES work. But if you don't read everything about the app and use it correctly, it won't. But yeah lots of people are using it here to get root on 4.0.4
If you're afraid of exynosabuse, do this.

That is exactly what I said. Just read everything carefully and make sure you understand what you are doing.
Do you honestly think that we would all be rooted and put up with **** not working?
all the proper methods you find on XDA ARE 100% working.
what is irritating is the number of threads that have come up within the last 2 weeks asking this same damn thing, and the same damn answer has been given each time. it is obvious you didnt read those threads.
Sorry for bad English. When I get phone, it had Android 2.3.6 To get root and CWM I just flashed Siyah kernel for GB with Odin. I think there is must be Siyah for ICS. Try it. And yes, it will end warranty servise. Good luck!

By flashing a kernel like siyah v6 b5+ via odin.
Thanks for the answers!
Now first of all, ExynosAbuse would be perfect but does that support 4.1.2?
Also what comes to sidyah, does that support phones that are sim-locked? If so, how can i get rid of the operator sim-lock and is this risky?
And for the last: if i root my phone, can i get official updates in the future from samsung? Cause i don't wanna mess with the style that i got in my jelly bean quite like it, just want to get superuser-access.
So the app that i'm searching for is one click root that supports updates in future for 4.1.2. Is it impossible?
Thanks!
I'm with theunderling here.
I've always flashed via Odin woithout any problems and it very quick too. If you do everything right, it shouldn't take more than a minute, dead serious. 1 minute. Okay maybe more, but maximum 2 according to me
Just download tar or md5 file. Open Odin. Put the file in PDA. Then start. (and make sure Re-Partition is NOT checked)
(Im not going to give you step by step instructions cause that is for you to find out But i've actually helped you out alot
Good luck, and post for further question. Just dont forget to search before.
*EDIT* Yea, siyah is one of the best kernels, and dont worry everythin should be the same. You can get siyah kernel from gokhanmoral.com
