[Q] Rooting - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can you root the s2? If you can can someone tell me the safest way to do it

Search. This stuff has been covered thousands upon thousands of times here over the past two years (do you honestly believe you're the first person to ask this question ?)
Thread stickied near top of Q&A is a good place to start looking, so are the guides/tutorials stickied near top of General section (on top of searching though; this info is easily found with an XDA or Google search).

you can root it using kingo free software very easily
if you used kingo to root your phone then your can UNROOT it without re-flashing the official ROM
kingo also will root your phone without changing the kernel
to find out how to use it check this short video

[GUIDE] Root your SonyEricsson Xperia X10i

Now that I've made a new thread for rooting the X10i-model, anyone is free & welcome to add thorough instructions here on how to do so.
I'm a little tired of poorly written guides in the other thread that gives you nothing but confusion.
Please don't close this thread as I believe other people get confused TO about how to root an X10i.
Like THIS for instance:
1. Download the rar-file (link here).
2. Unzip/pack it.
3. Enable Debugging in Settings ->..............
4. Shutdown your SonyEricsson X10i.
5. Start StepX.bat
6. ...................................
7. ....................................
8. Done! Your phone is now rooted with version XXXXXXX

i don't see any link..
Why are you differing between x10i and x10a? Its the same. There is a much simpler way to root any FW.
1) Download and install flashtool
2) Plug in phone and press root
3) Done, reboot and there you go

Best way easiest
Just look through the development section and you'll find the flashtool thread not that hard

Z4root

I have used z4root and got root access. I wanted to know if I need to keep z4root installed or if I can remove it.

Once you gain root I'm sure you can delete it. And for future reference you may want to post questions in the general section to avoid getting flamed. Happy flashing :-D

Thanks I hope to hear some more responses, as I want to be 100% sure.
Yes you can delete it once you are rooted. I've used Z4root several times now and have removed the app every time.

You can delete it if you want but it isnt in the Market anymore. Google told those guys (also Ryans OCLF dont have the root part in it any longer) take them down.
But you can get the .apk HERE or HERE
I also found the update.zip root on the cyanogenmod wiki web site under vibrant. So if u ever need to reroot and can't find anything u can use that method.

That will only work with the 2e and modified 3e recovery, but not the real 3e. You will need the Super One Click root application for that.

how can i rooted can you tell me please
Go to the CF root thread in development, read the instructions thoroughly find your version of his rooting kernel and flash via odin (best option in my opinion) or you could try something like superoneclick which is easier but won't give you cwm. Sounds like you should have a general read up of things before you start though to avoid bricking your device.

Ad Free works fine for me as always.

Now there's your problem.
Root and you'll be fine. Just read up on it and don't open another root thread (we have enough of them as it is).
Once more and now nearly number two million .
Root + CWM .

no spoonfeeding allowed!
Half the adventure of modding your device is learning and understanding how. If you don't understand something than you probably shouldn't do it. Read over and over again and if it helps use Google to get a better understanding.
