I have been reading all day and I would like a bit of advice.
I cannot seem to find a CR Root version remotely close for me to choose.
My kernel version is:
3.0.31-894915

... I hope this isn't a silly question but I appreciate any assistance.

It isn't written anywhere that you must root using CF - root. You have a huge range of different kernels that will root your device when flashed with Odin.

Go back & re-read the bit in the CFRoot thread in bold red which says 'Help ! Which file do I use ?'. Slowly. Carefully. Several times.

Ok, I read it. Super super slow making sure to sound out all the hard words.
I understand that finding the exact match is not crucial but it seems I cannot even get in the same ballpark.

So, It does not seem very important to get kernel that matches your stock one.
Is there a generic kernel for the Galaxy S2?

Are you on JB stock? If so, Siyah v6, Dorimanx v8.xx are just two of the ones that fit your requirements

It's not possible. Many skillful developers are working hard to crack it, but Samsung's protection is just too hard to crack, it seems. If you somehow still find people, saying that it's possible, don't believe them, they are trying to trick you. All the existing "working" methods are just going to break your phone.
Ok, now on a serious note, it's possible, but I really wouldn't advise you to do that, regarding your... erm... "mental capabilities" in challenging situations.

why do you want to root do you know why you are rooting ???

I believe that stopped working on newer versions of 2.3.6 and higher.
OK. The simplest way to root your phone is CFRoot. I don't give a crap what anyone else says. There's 10 steps. It takes 10 minutes tops, including downloading the kernel (the rooting/flashing part takes two minutes tops), unless your internet connection is a piece of string between you/your ISP with a tin can at either end, and you get CWM installed as part of the process.
Anyone who faps around with any other process is a fool & overcomplicating something which should be so simple a process, a bonobo with an IQ of -823 can get it done (in between shagging other members of its clan as bonobos tend to do with 99.99% of their time)

I agree with the overall sentiment, but you can also use any other kernel that auto-roots and installs CWM recovery as well. But sticking with CF-Root keeps things simple since the CF-Root thread has both the files and instructions.
Given the propensity for people here to ask question after question (even tho what they're asking has already been explained as simply as possible) & expecting to be spoonfed rather than read/learn/follow very simple instructions, keeping it simple in the first instance hopefully reduces this.
Anyone who can't root their phone with CFRoot after being directed to read the 'Help ! Which file do I use ?' bit carefully needs to get an iPhone as far as I'm concerned. No hope whatsoever.

If in your quote above (that I bolded), you're referring to DooMLoRD's zergRush exploit, it works on all releases of 2.3.5, and some of the earlier releases of 2.3.6. But it was patched in one of the 2.3.6 releases; I don't know which one, though.
But as the 4 post exchange between MistahBungle and I indicate, yes, CF-Root is the easiest way.

Which one click root are you talking about? The one click root I know of requires you to download the appropriate insecure kernel for your build of Android, and works up through ICS.

Quotes above are for context.
This is the only one click root I know about. It works for any version you can find an insecure kernel for, and there are various insecure kernels around for versions WAY newer than 2.3.4.
If you know of a different one click root, (that only works for 2.3.4 or lower, as you you indicate) then please cite your source.

THIS ONE, OH YEAH SRY IT'S CALLED SUPERONECLICK
Hello i have the galaxy S2 GT-i9100, i saw this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056334 that says how to root your phone but you also have to choose the right .tar file that they provide based on your kernal but i can not seem to find the file i need based on my kernal... my kernal is in the picture below. please help need as soon as possible
Go to this thread & read the instructions. Pay particular attention to the section that says 'Help ! Which file do I use ?'. This will enable you to choose the right kernel to root your phone.
If you still can't work out which kernel to use having read that page/section carefully several times, you probably don't want to be rooting your phone (or flashing anything to it really). The chances of borking your phone increase exponentially with how poorly you read/understand instructions.
thank you i was able to find the right file!:good:

Well firstly, please use common sense and write logical topic titles. "Pls help" and other such silly titles mean absolutely nothing to people who are browsing the forum. Titles are supposed to be descriptive, ie describe the topic briefly.
Secondly you cant have looked very far because there is plenty of ICS based kernels in the Dev area. Just go grab the Siyah kernel and flash via ODIN and your done.

It's the link to Siyah kernel download site. Scroll down and find Siyah for S2 ver 4.1.5. Choose TAR ver (as you prefer).

Maybe the forum rules arent displayed clearly enough. Should have an individual prompt message for each rule when someone is registering.
Then again, some would still not get it. Its fighting a losing battle.

The prompt before you post a thread is a good idea. But yeah, you're probably right, people would ignore it anyways.

I don't really think you can root your phone with a stock ROM
The way to root via odin is with a kernel.
if you don't know how, i recommend http://galaxys2root.com/
No disrespect intended....but forget galaxys2root.com........all the info you need can be found right here on XDA......and the chances are that 'other' websites got their info here anyway.......
As previously mentioned.....rooting with a custom kernel is your best bet......
Some kernels require flashing via Odin, but at least one can be flashed via the stock recovery.....
You can also use chainfires cf root.
Read some of the 'stickeyed' threads under the various S2 forums for links to the info you need.

actually i heard about this website before i knew about xda. so thats why i recommended it
So ? It's a bit much to expect most people here to help bozos who insist on using stuff from other sites when every method to do every thing you could ever want to do with this phone can be easily found here & people can easily get help if they get stuck.
This is the point that was clearly lost on you.

Hmm i'm not totally clear on what you're trying to say.
I know there are lots of methods to root at xda, but as i used it myself and was very confident while using their guides i just recommended it insted of looking for a good root method here. ( i haven't searched for any in xda as it's unnecessary)
And as most of guided are originated from xda as keithross said, we can easily help the person whether the guide is from xda or elsewhere.
The points that mistahbungle and I are making are...
1) the OP is here on XDA.
2) YOU are here on XDA
3) all the info that the OP needs is here on XDA.
And yet here you are, referring the OP AWAY from XDA......
What's the point in that?
And for info.....everything I looked at on that website has or appears to have been kanged straight from XDA anyway.....including rom and kernel assets (I think alliance rom and jeboo kernel to name just two were created by devs who posted them on XDA)......without mention of XDA or the devs who actually did all the hard work to create the software........not exactly showing support for the community, is it?
