Good tip for newbies like me.

Yes I have used the search but its information overload and basically I don't have a clue, I am a newbie, never flashed a Samsung phone before, I come from HTC, I have odin etc and am fairly confident on what to do but don't know which ROM etc.
Use chainfire kernel to root. Very easy to follow.
Then VillainROM is a great place to start. Very helpful dev, plus the idea is you learn what you are doing. Great thread.
That's what I did, same as you, coming from htc as well.
Now I use Leomar's revolution rom as it's really cool as well.
Hope that helps

Hey guys,
Can anybody tell me the exact way of rooting Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 JPKG2 (Middle east Version).
You support will be really appreciated.
Thanks...
Your question would surely be pwned by some random guy that would tell you to search the forums, luckily, i'm patient and I want to help.
This method is traditional but in my opinion most reliable.

This is to get the XWKDD insecure kernel from Chainfire: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056334
Use this SuperOneClick in the instructions, this worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=624175&d=1307984755
Begin following the steps from Quick Root guide, pretty easy especially with the photos and easy to follow steps.

Big question as always is why do you want to root the phone and void warranty ??/
jje
If you have a I9100/I9100T, look in settings/about phone & make a note of what you have listed in "baseband". Then go to this thread, find the kernel that matches the details in baseband on your phone.
Then follow the instructions in the thread I gave you a link to. Easy. There are also two other methods you can use to root your phone, Zergrush & SuperOneClick, search the board for details of these.
If you have a I9100G, you should be able to find a kernel to root your phone with in this thread.
If you have one of the other SGS2 variants, I have absolutely no idea.
Edit -JJE far too quick on the draw for me
Just flash CF-Root via Odin ^^
Somebody's trying to get to 10 posts by dragging up dead /buried/resolved threads
There is no sign of life on my phone what ever I do.
Some one have an solution?

Can't even get it to download mode?
unbrickable mod by adam outleter.
You'll want to use Odin for that. We have several threads on this<strike>, but I'll post my own guide here, since the other guides are a bit of a mess. (kidserious's guide has broken links. DaleV's guide is a mess of bolding and colour. Most of the others don't include this full process.)</strike>

EDIT: I've gone ahead and done it (albeit in the General section.)

Hi,
I had a question about rooting my galaxy s2. I searched a while for a great tutorial on youtube.
I found this amazing site called; galaxys2root.com, with a video called "How to Root Galaxy S2! [NEW][Works on All Galaxy S2 Variants]".
I tried to root my phone, but it doesn't seem to work. The software used in the video is 2.3.3. I thought this might be the problem, since I followed every step carefully.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to root a 2.3.6. A video similar to the one written above would be great, since it is my first time rooting!
Thanks in advance,
Monkeyfntstc

SEARCH FIRST
Just use Odin With CF Root Kernel
Again, asking us about a method that isn't on this site is pointless. How would we know ?
If you want to root your phone using a method from here, CFRoot thread. Do not use this method (or any method for that matter) to root your phone until you absolutely thoroughly understand the instructions.
The risk of bricking your phone using any method to root increases exponentially with how poorly you understand it/how little attention you pay to the instructions.
You would also do well to read the stickies.
There are no videos, there are no shortcuts.
thanks Mistahbungle
It looked easy while watching the video.. that is why i was wondering
Also, make absolutely sure you have an I9100/I9100T.
Check in settings/about phone; you'll need to do this anyway to check your current kernel so you can find a matching CFRoot kernel to flash in order to root your phone.
Make sure using the correct ROM and kernel, for G version and non G.
Good Luck friend!
