hey you guys i have a s2 i777and it is running on 4.1.2 and i was looking for a root solution for this ..i want to permantly root it so i can flash roms can you help?
Did you even search the forum?
Maybe thats the reason no one has answered yet.
To root, use Framaroot with the Aragorn exploit.
You will need to install a custom kernel containing recovery. AJK v4.9 NoSwap is the one you need for stock 4.1.2. Search the forum for instructions to install that, or look at the guide available in the forum.
Ask any questions for anything you don't understand. Happy flashing.

Hi there,
I rooted my SGS2 with S2 Root v1.3
My phone has successfully rooted, but i've not found any links that can let me install CWM after that.
I'm not sure, but rom manager users have reported the rom manager CWM can't seem to do nandroid backups properly.
Anyone can point me in the right direction or post a guide? thanks.
I've searched with the search tool and can't seem to find anything that can help me after S2 root. Thanks.
I've seen this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693
But it still doesn't tell me if it is compatible if i've already rooted with S2 root.
There are some kernels which installs CWM and Super User automatically after rooting. Such kernels are Chainfire, SpeedMod T27 etc, others won't.
Regards.
ok. will check those out.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Hi All,
Instead of using CF-Root kernel to root my phone, can I use the SpeedMod(which includes root as well), or do I have to flash to CF-Root first and then re-flash to SpeedMod kernel?
Also, do you suggest I flash my Vodafone GR firmware to a stock one(KG2), prior to rooting the phone?
Many thanks for all the information posted on this forum!

no, you do not need to apply if speedmod is rooted.
no you do not have to go to stock to root.

hello everyone, i really need help in rooting and flashing custom roms in my galaxy s2 i9100g. the problem is that i cant find proper custom roms for my phone. i am capable of rooting my phone, its just a matter of finding the insecure kernel and flashing it then using superoneclick and then flashing the original kernel back in. but what would i benefit if i cant install custom roms. by the way. to install roms i need clockworkmod recovery right? please some1 help me i really want to do this and experience the full power of android
Thanks in advance =)
What you would benefit if you can't install custom roms? I you can't root your device with those guides that is here I suggest you to not root. You will probably end up bricking your phone.
And btw, searching google for it shows even more sites with guides..did you put any effort at all in trying to find out yourself or are you just lazy?

Cool story bro,...changed my life forever
Seems to me you already know how to root? Now are you asking for custom ROM for i9100g?
You can try CM first.

And I found you posted in the wrong forum. The following forum is for i9100g. Go dig there is better.

Stop being lazy. Read the information the 2 links above me are a great place to start.
Not a very good 1st post on XDA

I need step-by-setp instructions how to run devil recovery and so on so on. I have S3 in stock, not rooted etc. Please help or send me to certain thread. Thanks alot!
Go read the sticky thread in general forum, CF autoroot then backup your efs. Install a custom recovery to flash your custom rom.
Follow the guides exactly, it's quite easy to brick these phones.
