Can anyone help me proceed?
PS: If i force close the program since it froze will it affect my phone or something?
I think you can safely force close it. Which firmware are you on? Why are you rooting your phone? Are you planning to install a custom ROM?

I'm using Stock 4.1.2 (as always) and i have been looking around those useful apps which pretty much always happends to require root, so i told myself "why not, it's one click away", right?
I suggest you try this method then:

Thanks for your help but i'm not that power user and i don't want to deal with flashing , kernels , triangles etc.
This "one click" method seemed okay with me and if i can't get it to work - i'll just remain unrooted and that's it.
I just want to be sure that freezing on step 5 didn't affect my phone at all!?

It shouldn't affect your phone, but I can't guarantee anything.
To be honest, the method I suggested is a lot more easier then the SOC method you tried. You never know how sweet candy is until you try it out yourself.
I seem to recall something along the lines of 'SuperOneClick won't work with anything > 2.3.6'. Put it this way, the thread hasn't been updated since just after ICS came on the scene. Take the advice you've been given & root your phone in less than 5 minutes with another method.
Edit - Using a method like that on firmware it's not meant to be used on given the level it works at (ADB) could bork your phone much more easily than other root methods which actually work.

I have just started to use android. Galaxy S 2 is my 1st ever android device gifted by my wife on our 2nd anniversary. Even though it was bought in Lahore, Pakistan; it is 3 mobile UK branded gs2. I was about to root it watching this video: youtube(DOT)com/watch?v=KNVE0UDe-bQ
I realized that since this is branded and I cant even update it (which could mean that it is locked), I may not be able to root the device following this video. Also, I am confused since my device's build number and kernel number are pretty different (screen shot attached).
Can someone guide me easy to follow exact steps to root this device safely? If I mess up, my wife will use the brick on me .
What software would I want?
Where will I download the software from?
Where will I get the insecure kernel from?
I so want to use WIFIKILL at office

Look in the Original Development Section for CF-Root, this has everything you should need and good easy to follow instructions....
Read the OP fully Before you try anything!

There is only one issue here.. I do not know what the ODS is as I am new here. It would be nice of you, if you would guide me with links?
You can remove network lock AFTER rooting. You can root using cfroot but ChainFire has only released cfroot for stock firmware not branded 3 firmware so you will need to flash to stock firmware, root, rhen use the network unlonk in the market. I found the CF one didnt work but the other one in the market works.
After you have done this then you can use ClockWorkMod (added with cfroot) to flash the gtalk with video.
There is alot to learn...

can root i9100G not? coz i having a problem on it
Thanks Rajesh. Let me show you the crap apps I am dealing with. The guide you are have referred to; will it work for my branded GS2?
I have another question. Can I de brand the device and get rid of all these apps without rooting it? I will not be able to use wifikill, but then if this is more complicated then rooting a non branded S2; I guess I will have to live with this! HATE IT!
Phone is now rooted!!!
Thank you everyone! My phone is now rooted and I am all set!
Ok, first off I'm a noob with rooting and things like that. My only experience is on my xoom a while back I came here for guides on how to get rid of the Canadian stock OS to put on the American one so I could get updates for ICS because motorola wasn't updating the Canadian and I was able to do it successfully without bricking. However, I've never rooted a device and I shamefully have only used iPhones in the past, so the s3 is my first android phone.
Theres lots of cool stuff I wanna do with a rooted phone but I'm reluctant for several reasons:
How dangerous is it really? I see the bolded red stuff saying they aren't responsible, but is it mostly a safety or is there really a large chance of bricking?
Should I wait? Like will people find safer/easier methods in the near future for rooting since its still a new device?
Should I not root if I don't know much about this stuff yet?
Thanks for any replies!
Rooting opens up so many more possibilities for this device. I made it 2 weeks before I rooted my S3. That's the longest I have ever gone before rooting a new device. lol It does officially void your warranty, but I've never had any issues exchanging a rooted device with [email protected] As always YMMV.
All in all, I wouldn't hesitate. It takes just a few minutes and is easy as pie. Just make sure you read and follow the directions as they are given.

Exactly as said above. I made it ten minutes after getting it on release day before rooting it. Rever got around to actually using the stock phone!
Root is simple enough just only thing to stress if you're a noob' is to make sure the battery is charged before doing anything. Nothing could really go wrong if you're following the correct instructions for your device.
And thought I'd share, not that this phone needs to be any faster, but with a few modifications on a touchwiz rom you get large improvements over stock. I wouldn't advise to OC often though, see here

Thanks! I guess I'll stop being a wuss and go try it out
One other quick question I forgot to ask-
When I root, am I done with it forever? Will I have to do a lot of stuff when updates come or anything like that or am I good to go?
Ok so this may have been posted before but I've been searching and can't find anything.
So I got my note 2 when they released and I did the first "root" method available which I think was odin. Not really root with a custom recovery however I don't think. See the following screenshot to see what I'm currently running. Its been fine until now so I never re flashed anything or install twrp or anything.

Lately its been running slow so I want to fully root and install something along the lines of the latest Clean Rom. I had cleanrom on my Rezound and I love his roms.
Only reason I'm making this thread is because I'm not sure where to start because I don't think I'm stock yet I'm not "really" rooted.
Dont want to mess up my device.
Thanks!!

Sounds like you are rooted, but your bootloader is still locked. In order to flash ROMs on Verizon you will need to unlock the bootloader (unless you did that via Odin the first time around). From those screenshots you won't be able to tell if you have unlocked the bootloader...as far as I know the only want to check is to boot into recovery. If you see TWRP or CWM you are set...if you get the stock recovery you need to follow Adam Outler's original unlock method as you are on baseband VRALJB. To access recovery power off the device and then press volume up + power button + home button simultaneously. Whatever boots up will tell you what you need to know.
stary by reading the stickies.
Yea I believe I'm still on the stock recovery.
Hello there, I won't lie, I ask for help, you answer me.
I don't understand enought your method, because it's not well described.
But.. Therefore...
I'm able to root my device.
I'm able to backup my ta partition or my drm keys.
I'm able to unlock my bootloader.
I'm able to restore my bootloader to lock it back.
i'm able to unbrick my phone when it couldn't boot via flashtool.

But I'm unable to install a custom recovery and or even launch the stock on it there was one.
I tried this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647492 (normal boot and no pink led).
I tried this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799388 via flashtool and my phone couldn't boot, even to the SONY logo, but it were vibrating when pushing on the power button.
Anyway, I flashed via flashtool the 14.4.A.0.108 back, now I'm still rooted and the bootloader is still unlocked.

What can I do to install a custom recovery via the 14.4.A.0.108 ?
Or this operation is impossible and I have to downgrade ?
(I read about downgrade and I'm affraid to lose my IMEI)

I'm pretty sure the problem here is that there is a stock firmware development aka the custom ROMs can't just start "taking over from where the devs left off" like it happened with Samsung Devices that get stuck at v4.1.2 unless someone else does something about it.
I guess most things here just are not stable. I hope the stock works out for you. Did you get the rooting done? I found a video tutorial for that here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...de-root-android-4-4-4-ver-14-4-0-108-t2801587

Hello, of course I have done rooting, now I'm back in full stock, nk rooting, just pure sony beauty. And everything works better without root, or it doesn't matter, but the navigation and the use of the device is much smoother without lags
I've rooted my droid phones for years. This is the first one that ran good enough that I never ended up doing root. Now that it's been out a long time, what is the most simple and safe root method so I can use titanium backup? I'm not interested in custom ROMs, kernels, and the other stuff now a days. Too addictive [emoji13]

I know that towelroot is a one click rite from your device so no need for a pc. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2790108 Give this a once over and see if it sounds like something you might wanna try. If not you can always go with chainfire and odin http://www.xda-developers.com/tag/chainfire/

I appreciate the link and see you wrote it. However that is way over 90% of the users head I would think. I found it was super easy by following the 8 steps here:
Download CF-Auto-Root package and extract the zip: CF-Auto-Root-hltespr-hltespr-smn900p.zip
Enable USB Debugging again.
Boot the phone into Download Mode.
Launch Odin.
Connect phone to computer.
Click AP and select CF-Auto-Root-hltespr-hltespr-smn900p.tar.md5.
Hit the Start button.
You’ll get PASS! message on Odin and your phone will reboot automatically.
