I just traded my Evo 3D for an S2 today, and I've been looking for a root guide, but every time I come across one I read about issues.
Really all I want is some to point me to the most recent, successful, and stable root method. I keep reading about all these kernels screwing up phones cause they're not the most recent kernels. So can someone please help? The most recent root method as of February 23, 2013?
SCH-i777 (AT&T)
ICS 4.0.4
Baseband version: I777UClK3
Kernel: 3.0.15-I777UCLK3-CL1174199
Thanks!
-UPDATE-
Only a few minutes after posting this, I decided to take a gander at the Siyah website.
Wuold SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1 work?

Trust me, I did plenty of searching. I honestly couldn't find anything that was confirmed working perfectly. Just trying to be safe. Thanks though!
First of all are you sure its att galaxy s2? Or is it international s2
We have these things called stickies that appear at the top of each forum. Really good sources of info if you take the time to read them.

The first guy helped me.
And yes, Lol. Im not stupid. The i777 is AT&T.
You said you searched and that is fine and all, but Root processes don't change too much unless the exploit is closed for some reason. Seems Exynos is your answer. If not, then Search is.
Since the first guy helped you, then this thread is closed.

To all the people on this forum much smarter than me - I will give you as much support and information as I can in order to get a working root exploit on this badboy. As of now, zergrush and gingerbreak are aboard the SS Fail. I actually managed to snag the only Galaxy Note for Bell shipped to my city, but can't properly "move in" to the phone until we get root and thus I get Titanium up and running.
Say the word, and I'll provide whatever I can to the cause. It is the same model of phone that AT&T is getting.
**Edit: Would post this in the dev forum, but I've pretty much lurked XDA for years and never really got around to posting much...so I'm still not allowed.

Working NFC?
Does the Bell Rom have working NFC? can this be ported over to the AT&T rom?
I can confirm NFC is operational in the Bell ROM that ships with the device. Funny thing is, nobody is advertising this phone has NFC up here.

Honestly, I'm not using the phone for anything right now. Till we get a working root, I can't move out from my XT860 (aka, Droid 3 GSM) because of a few apps I use day to day that require root.

So skyrocket root is not working here? I was one of the few that updated my skyrocket to 2.3.6 once the update came out. Then lost interest in rooting. I thought I saw where they can root 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 now?

Sorry to say it, but nobody is going to hold your hand like that on xda. That being said, like the guy before me said, it is very easy to learn the process as we have all had to. The best, I repeat, best thing you can do is read read read and search search search. Two years ago, I too did not know how to root or do anything else related to romming my phones, but learned through reading. Everything you need to know and much more is carefully laid out for you already, you just have to read it yourself.

I used the above website to root and it worked flawlessly. Rooted and installed ClockworkMod in minutes. This website also has a bunch of other tips, tricks, apps, ROMs, etc, all centered around the Galaxy Note. Just make sure when you root, flash ROMs, etc, you use the correct stuff. There are two Galaxy Notes. They have different processors and, therefore, have different root methods, ROMs, etc. On RootGalaxyNote, there is a section for both.
BTW, I am also running OnlyOne ICS ROM and its awesome!
/facepalm
Im ALMOST surprised the flaming hasn't started already.
First thing that comes to mind.. if you can't be bothered to search, and read the HUGE POSTS stickied to the tops of the forum labeled "ROOTING FOR DUMMIES" and "HOW TO ROOT" - why do you want your Note rooted? What is it going to do for you?
Read, Read, Read. I read the forums for a week before even thinking about beginning a root.
What I do is open the xda app and spend many sleepless hours reading. Alot. My wife knows that at 2am she can roll over and see me reading, reading, reading xda. Just long press your device and subscribe. Makes it show under the favorites tab.

By the"1777", if you mean the SGH-i777 (that's an i, not a one), which is the ATT variant of the Galaxy S2, then you are wasting your time asking here in the i9100 forums.
Look in the i777 forums.

This was originally posted on the i9100 forum. It was moved.
Once again, purely depend on your definition of "stable", every ICS ROM in here is very stable based on my definition.
And it should have been deleted, not moved. This guy took 0 effort looking. How hard would it have been to click in the right section of the forums, click in the development section and see ICS ROMs plastered all over the page? Or do a search for "ICS for i777" - hell, that lead me to these forums in the first place!!

Hey everyone. Would just like to start off by introducing myself. My name is Chad and I live in Jonesboro, Arkansas. I am a long time Samsung fan and have had their phones for the last few years. I started with an Eternity and then the Captivate. I currently have an ATT i717 Note that I love. I am here to discover new, interesting tweaks for my phone. I rooted my Captivate with the intention of running a custom rom, but I never got up the nerve to try it. I am wanting to root my Note, as well as run a new rom (JellyBean). I am searching the forums constantly, trying to find the best tutorial for these steps, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance everyone.

Welcome, it's always nice to have new blood from time to time. Like the last poster said. Dig right in! There's some great walk throughs over in the development section on how to root plus if you Google "how to root galaxy note i717" there's a fantastic site with pictures and and a video how to do so. It'll flash cwm, but like many people here we'll recommend going to twrp after. And it's easy too! Just remember to read read read! We have some awesome devs so check out their work.
I will point out there is no "absolute best evar" rom so try to avoid the question. So long as you follow the instructions of the devs on the roms you'll be fine in flashing. You'll bounce around from rom to rom seeing all the awesomeness there is.
One last point, for all your question needs check out and post them in the q and a section as there's lots of smart people here.
Enjoy!!!

Welcome to you ...
As mentioned ....read much, read often ...as you can get into trouble quickly flashing incorrect software.
And also remember, this is a development site. And while most users understand this, we get far to many that do not.
It is highly likely that questions you have will have already been answered.
So please search, and then ask before getting into device trouble.
Again, welcome to you, and happy flashing...g

Better off to say Touchwiz sucks as opposed to 4.1.2 sucks. There are 2 developers that still work 4.1.2 and your going to come off real ungrateful for their efforts. There is not a thing wrong with their ROMs. You just have to know how to fine tune them to your needs. Don't bash them if you can't do it. Just don't run them.
