There are many different stories to talk about.
As it is very difficult for me to identify your interests and knowledge, I reduce my answer to the IMO most important threads for SGS2:
1. Intratech's Official Firmware thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Please read the first post. There is a detailed description of how to flash a new Firmware/ROM to your phone, and there is a Quick Root Guide too.
This rooting method is very elegant (as you do not get a yellow triangle and the binary counter will not be increased), but it is a little bit "manual".
For a little bit more "automated" rooting, look at the next thread.
Most important is, that you can find the latest, official and stable Firmware version most as non-wipe together with the corresponding stock kernel, which you might need for getting rid of the yellow triangle after flashing a rooted kernel (such as CF-Root or SpeedMod).
I always prefer flashing Frankenstein ROMs from third post, as you can combine them to any other Firmware parts, such as Modem/Phone/Baseband (for inter-connectivity) and CSC (for region and/or carrier dependent customizations) files.
2. Chainfire's CF-Root thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root
Everything you need to root your phone is to flash a rooted kernel to your phone (See description in first post).
And if you want to get rid of the yellow triangle, Chainfire has described it in his second post.
The only thing to do is to find the corresponding kernel for your ROM.
So, it is useful to flash a new ROM first, then flash the corresponding CF-Root kernel and you have root access on your phone.
There are many other goodies which come along with CF-Root kernel, such as ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery mode (an extended recovery mode including features, such as backup&restore, clear Dalvik cache, flash other zip files from sd card, etc.) and CWM Manager app (to have a very user-friendly app to make use of most new CWM recovery features).
But you can use any other rooted kernel, which is compatible with your ROM, to root your phone.
3. Custom ROMs ... such as CyanogenMod ...
There are many, custom ROMs and kernels optimized for different things, such as better performance (higher scores in benchmarks) or longer battery life.
You have to take your time and search on yourself what you really want most and which custom ROM or kernel you want to try.
Stick to the SGS II Official Android Development forum => http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1058
... search, read, test !
Just to be on the "safe" side, do a backup before flashing.
If you have CWM recovery mode (or CWM Manager app), just do a complete system / nandroid backup.
So you will be able to restore this backup, if one of the tested custom ROMs or kernels messed up your phone.
Good luck !

By reading the threads stated above, multiple times, very carefully.
I can jailbreak a phone in my sleep, but this stuff kinda went over my head too. I got the GS2 (my first android also) a couple of months ago and have been reading up on stuff periodically but still don't understand a lot of it.
It's why I'm glad there are so many helpful people who write clear guides on how to do stuff.
I'm sure by the time the GS3 comes out I'll have a bit of a grasp on things!!
But just read read read.
Good luck.
Yea I was scared too. All I can say is, READ THE STEPS ONCE, TWICE, AND AGAIN BEFORE YOU TOUCH YOUR PHONE.
First off. It's not possible to brick it when flashing a kernel(to root). The only way to brick is replacing the boot loader, only official Samsung ROM's do that and it takes less than a second so the chances are slim. I say you start by downloading CF-ROOT for your current firmware. Just be careful and read the instructions. I also recommend to only flash roms from XDA. Also, never use PIT file in ODIN. Welcome to Android, I was new as well 3 months ago and I've been changing kernels and roms like crazy since then
Your current firmware is KF3. I HIGHLY recommend downloading and installing KJ3 from Intratech's thread. It is very fast. Download the one from Frankenstein firmwares. That will not root, you need to flash cf-root or other rooted kernels to do that.

dont worry mate i felt the same as well..but as stated above by the rest of the posts read carefully the steps and you should be fine honestly
People talk about jailbreaking iPhones being easy, i could say the same about rooting and flashing ROM's, simple to do once you get the hang of it (and read up)
Just take it slow, pour a coffee and read. I can't stress it enough. It'll make you more comfortable when you actually do it.
Search for the "litening ROM" has great step by step including links to Odin and all that good stuff.

So Guys I rooted My SGS 2 using the following method..
First of all, make sure you’re having all these tools mentioned below at the time rooting.
Odin Downloader
XWKDD tar file [don’t extract, leave as it is]
SuperOneClick
USB Data Cable
Samsung’s KIES 2.0 or get it from download page
Install Samsung Kies 2.0,if not installed, as you will need the correct USB driver for software’s to communicate. Turn on USB debugging mode in galaxy s2 from Setting>Applications>Development>USB Debugging
1. Boot device into download mode. For getting into download mode on galaxy s2, first turn off the phone and power it on again by pressing Volumedown button, Home button and Power simultaneously. You’ll see a downloading icon once you go into this mode.
2. Start Odin downloader
3. Connect phone to computer via USB.
4. Odin software will notify you when it detects phone and gets connected.
5. In the software, just select “Auto Reboot” and “Reset Time” checkboxes and leave every other options as default.
6. Press PDA icon and select the XWDD tar file you just downloaded [XWKDD_insecure.tar]
7. Press Start and ODIN will flash the kernel and after that, Galaxy S2 will reboot.
8. Don’t remove the phone from USB and let it reboot.
9. After rebooting, start SuperOneClick and press ROOT.
9. Once again reboot the device.
That’s it, Your Samsung Galaxy S2 is now Rooted!!
Now enjoy all the custom roms and overclocking apps for galaxy without any restrictions.
And I used CWM manager to remove the yellow triangle....
Now what else do i need to do...

For now just enjoy your phone as is probably. Over time you will find out what you really needed root for. For me titanium backup is number 1.
Unlike an iPhone, even without rooting you can do most things you need but yeah some need root.
Personally I would have rooted using cf root/speedmod etc to have cwm recovery for backups.

Also, to root you could have simply just flashed cf root in Odin as PDA and your done.

You shouldnt worry just a new platform. Depending on how patient you have been after updating the new firmware on your iOS toys jailbreaking can be much worse than this. Apple developer fanboys have a tendency to wrap it up with a pretty little gui and a sexy dress but it is really just as many steps. We just like it au naturel over here

Ok so i have installed Cyanogem Mod 7.1.0 ...
But now i want to get back to my stock firmware because i want to use tv out function which is missing from Cyanogen mod 7.1.0 so can u please help me out in getting back to my stock firmware...
Just go to intratech thread that was linked on first page. Then i would recommend to chose the frankenstein version to be able to reset your counter if needed.
Chose the firmware you want (kk5 is pretty good) and flash it with odin.
You can also flash a custom rom that is based on sammy like checkrom. You can do this trough cwm recovery and don't need to use odin for flashing.
If you don't have cwm yet you can install siyah kernel to get it.

There are a lot of ROMs based on the original Galaxy S software, so if you want the added customization, there are many options.
But what you want to do now to return to the original ROM, is to go in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
And find the one that was originally on the phone.
If your phone didn't come with a carrier specific ROM, you need to go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Simply download and flash it as a PDA file using Odin.
hey there xda members.. im gonna get my s2 later and its on ics already, i have downloaded the file cm-9.1.0-galaxys2.zip..
now i dont know what is the steps for flash it.. i dont wanna brick my device ><
do i flash a rooted kernel with cwm added then reboot to cwm and flash the zip file?
Follow the instructions on the first page of the CM9 discussion thread to the letter & you'll be fine. Use the n00b proof Odin method & you won't need to do anything to your phone beforehand.
Re: bricking your device, if the possibility of same scares you, leave your phone stock & enjoy it. Flashing always encompasses a very small risk of bricking the phone (the number of bricks we see on here every week is testimony to that, despite what some people here might tell you).
However, if you follow instructions to the letter & take your time/learn/read you should be fine.

so the CM9 Resurrection Edition is like flashing stock rom to my s2 but its the custom rom cm9?
Correct. As I said, read that thread, everything you need to know is there.
If it were me, I wouldn't be doing anything to the phone until I'd read thoroughly/understood the first page of that thread so I had the process down pat, then read the last 10/20 pages to get an idea of what the current build is like.
Hi,
I am totally new to flashing phones, so I need your help. My aim is to flash my GT-I9100 (Vodafone UK) with Cynogen Mod Kitkat. Currently my phone has Android version of 4.1.2. I do not have root access to my phone and according to Cynogen Mode wiki, this is not necessary.
Apparently I can't post links before 10 posts, sorry I can't show the links from where I got the instructions.
I have 1st tried to flash a new recovery image so that Cynogen installation would be possible.
1) Heimdall Method as in the Cynogen Mode Wiki Page
2) Odin Method available on the internet.
In both I have been successful transferring the listed recovery images (6.0.4.7 and 6.0.2.9) to the phone but in both cases whenever the phone is restarted, the device is stuck with Samsung GT-I9100 logo and yellow triangle. I can't access to recovery mode at all.
I had to go back to the download mode again (luckily this worked) and flashed with the original firmware in each cases to recover the device.
I am also confused about the version of CWM as when I go to the original website, above versions are not listed under Galaxy S2.(Only 4.0.1.5 and 5.8.1.5)
Am I missing something here?
Many thanks.

Hi
Many thanks for your reply. Believe me I have gone through many posts and search before posting here. I have also checked the link but can't understand why I am encountering yellow triangle after CWM flashing. Am I suppose to flash something else as well together with the version 6.0.4.7?
Don't bother about that yellow triangle,it's normal.When you'll be done flashing your rom,use TriangleAway app to remove it.

But after I flash with CWM I can't get access to the recovery to install the rom? The only option I have is the download mode.
I thought after flashing with CWM the stock rom would work normally and flashing with custom rom could be done later if needed.
Just to iterate again, when I flash the recovery, phone does not switch on but stuck with yellow triangle. It does not go in recovery mode. I have to re flash the stock rom to save device.
Could it be you're flashing only a temporary recovery,without an included kernel?Just guessing you may well be.FYI S2 doesn't have a separated partition for recovery as some other phones has.
As you're currently using a stock rom,the easiest way IMO would be flashing Philz kernel first(from Original Android Development section).Then follow the instructions from the CM11 thread.

It is possible but instructions on cynogenmod wiki page does not advise about a kernel. It gives a link to the recovery file and after recovery is flashed, I should be able to use volume up + home + power to access the recovery. Which I can't.
You just got given the best bit of advice anyone could give you, you have no clue whatsoever, and you're questioning said advice ?
Forget the CM Wiki. As you've just been told, any recovery flashed independently of the kernel on the I9100 will only persist until the next reboot. The easiest way to achieve what you're trying to achieve is to flash a custom kernel which will give you root+permanent CWM, and go from there.
You can either follow the advice you've been given & get this done the easy way, or you can continue to fumble around for days/weeks/months/whatever.
No skin off our noses either way *shrugs*
And no, I'm not going to apologise for being a bit 'rough' with you. People who come here with no idea, ask for help & either don't follow great advice they're given or argue the point about things they have no understanding of **** me to tears & get zero empathy.
Hi All,
My name is Ben, writing in from AUS this evening as I try to get past my boot menu!
I wanted to do a simple factory reset on my Samsung GS3, but wanting to be "smart" I thought I'd back up everything first using Titanium Backup, ie I had to root the phone. I read as much as I could and thought the safest method was using the Android Toolkit.
After getting over various obstacles (eg: bluestacks interrupting the toolkit), I followed the instructions and the Toolbox informed me I needed to restart the phone and use the program to change the stock recovery filenames as they were relucant to be shifted from the primary recovery. I went to restart the phone and it left me at the boot screen, and now I can't get past it.
The phone is a stock GS3 GT-I9305T running 4.3. I have backed up as much as I could without root, so hopefully that'll minimise what I'll lose?
Can I use the Toolkit to recover my software? Or should I use the factory reset option in the boot menu? Or just burn it and go live in a cave? Lol.
Thanks so much for your help.
Cheers,
Ben
Did you flash the correct file? You've posted in the i9300 q&a instead of the i9305 one.
Follow the sticky guide in general forum on how to flash with Odin, download the right firmware from sammobile.com. Afterward boot into recovery and factory reset.
To root use CF auto root, again read the sticky thread.

Thanks boomer for the reply,
I double checked the file in Odin, I was following the android toolkit instructions pretty carefully.
Is there any chance of recovering the original OS?
Nevermind, I strapped on my big boy boots and tried the factory reset, which instantly worked and now the phone is working again.
I'll get some help from a friend who's done it before with the rooting.
Cheers for the help!

In the procees of rooting, I had flashed CWM using Odin using recommened settings and it passed and rebooted to ROM(stock) itself. Then I rebooted to recovery mode but what I could see is the stock system recovery instead of the flashed CWM, and I know it was overwriiten by stock recovery by the system itself. I again did this flashing via ODIN but this time with UNCHECKED AUTO-REBOOT, and maually tried to reboot to recovery with button combinations, but instead rebooted to ROM itself. What should I do now to root my device?
Looking forward for your humble reply.
Thanks in advance ;P

riocrag
You can't have custom recovery with stock firmware, it will restore stock recovery on each boot.
Root doesn't require custom recovery, go read the sticky threads in general forum, search for cf auto root.
I'm don't want just root, I want to flash ROM also.

For your information what I want is not just root but want to flash ROMS through recovery. Since the method I used isn't successful, can I flash recovery after going through CF AutoRoot process? If Yes, how to do it bro?

Download and flash a recovery with Rashr (You can donwload it from the PS)
And after this find a rom you want and install it with the recovery BUT always read the section on "How To Install It"
Galaxy S3 International
efeXTREME Lite Rom v5.1
Arter97 Kernel v4.0 beta 3
Finally done,
Read that, read this and all. Especially you boomboomer you have been harsh, I almost spend a whole day on rooting this device that's actually some matter of minutes. First of all let me make you clear that I have gone through each stickies particular to this device and followed the linked tutorials also finally I figured a way out of this stuffs and finally with CWM and ROOT. A little advice from my part, for the sake of getting THANKS just don’t get your head into as many threads as possible. Since I was having deep knowledge about rooting and stuffs (not much about SAMSUNG stuffs), I was able to figure it out. What about if I was a complete noob? Your words should have left me in no hope.
As you leave notes always under your words about what is XDA becoz of noobs,
REMEMBER YOU WERE NOT BORN GEEK
No harsh feelings my friend what you felt by reading this is what I felt when I read yours. Chill bro.

"brief" unequals "harsh", that's all there is to it. This kind of talk is exactly what booboomers sig is intended towards. You discourage the people that wanna help. They tell you where you can find the info you need and you argue about semantics. Not everybody has the time to write a nice novel for everybody asking a question that has been aswered before again and again. I for one have a life that's not electronic. Sometimes less is more and in your case "less" was all boomboomer had time for. So please...
