To unlock bootloader, simply use your phone. One of the few good things about Samsung is they don't lock stuff down, comes already unlocked.
Unless you were getting terminology mixed up and actually wanted something else?

Who gave you the idea that you have to unlock ur bootloader?
The Galaxy S2 comes with an unlocked bootloader mate.

Have you rooted your phone or have you only installed cwm recovery? You can open cwm recovery (=bootloader) by pressing "power+home+volume up" (I hope you knew this ).

I know that
The bootloader was unlocked all the time. Since you flashed cwm, the cwm bootloader is aviliable. What happens when you press "power+home-volume up"?

Since u have both, u can directly flash any custom rom u want to. Just follow the instructions given in the custom rom thread.

Hello,
I have Omega v19.1 ROM right now and it feels like my phone is slow and tired. Will removing the ROM or go back to normal like it was when I bought it make it faster/clean it?
If so, is there a guide here on how I can do that?
Thanks in advance!

What do u mean by 'removing the ROM' and 'going back to normal'?
Do you want to return to stock? Or to ur previous ROM? Or do u want to remove bloatware??

Its really easy.
Just search for 'Stock Firmwares' and u will find many threads on XDA. Or u can visit sammobile.com.and choose an appropriate firmware. Then download it.
Flashing is a bit more advanced. I suggest you read about Odin and flashing stock roms.

Going back to stock should make your phone a lot worse/slower.
Thats how you root and stick on a custom kernel at the very least.....to remove crap that you couldnt do normally.
Like theunderling said, stock firmwares do contain bloatwares. Since ur on Omega v19, why not update to Omega v21 (preferably after a full wipe)? Maybe that would speed up ur phone...

Will give u a tip.
Search for 'Philz kernel'.
In the thread you find, look for the XWLSD zip version.
Save it to ur external SD card.
Flash that in stock recovery..
And ur rooted!

Ohh.. ok..
Flashing via Odin can fail due to a number of reasons, which is why I always suggest Mobile Odin for flashing and stock recovery for rooting.

Hi all,
Selling my s2 so wanting to flash stock os, I've used mobile odin before with success but this time it's been flashing.... gerating script and not booted into recovery mode for about 45mins -1hr any ideas?

Nope.
Why not flash via Odin then?

Forgive me, as I'm new to this.
I have a stock Bell Galaxy SII that I'm quite happy with, but I would like it unlocked. Bell wants $75 to unlock it (I'm 2/3 of the way through my contract) and vomited a little at that cost.
I've done some reading through the forums, but not only if it mostly over my head, but it seems the unlocking requires rooting the phone. My quesitons then....
-is it possible to unlock the phone while still in stock software?
-if not, what is the simplest way to root but keep everything pretty much as is?
I appreciate any help, advice, guidance, or links where the questions have already been answered. I've looked through quite a bit, but find it difficult reading with so many references and acronyms I'm uninformed of. I'm very cautious about bricking my phone, but a couple of upcoming trips to the US have me looking at unlocking.
There is no way to unlock without rooting.
You can however unroot after unlocking.
Which firmware are u on? And what model do u have?

The initial download was broken, but found one later in the thread. When rebooting, no CWM.zip found as it says in the instructions... I'll read through the thread in more detail.

I've read through the entire thread, but everything was aimed at 4.0 (I'm running 4.1) and once the posts get more current, they pull the CWM because of the bricking issue.

It works in JB also.
CWM was pulled because of risk of eMMC Brickbug in 4.0.4 versions. You can download a CWM for you device from ROM manager website (given in the thread).
Or if its any comfort, use Philz safe CWM.
