Rooting questions

I read of a couple ways to root this device. Is the skyrocket easy root the best way to do it?

Yes it is if your phone is on android version 2.3.5 it will not work with 2.3.6. If your on 2.3.5, and you use this method. Just download rom manager from the market and choose to install cwm recovery for the tmobile galaxy s2 with it, and you will be set

Thanks man

Can you be more specific than 'error'? What exactly happened?

You definitely didn't follow the instructions.

Make sure you have USB debugging checked under apps/development, that's one cause for superoneclick freezing if I remember right.

Install the pre-rooted rom listed in the dev section. Really is no use in rooting when Samsung lets use flash the phone with custom roms via odin.

Bhundven's One-Clicks in the Dev section are excellent. All are based on KJ6 and two are already rooted.

Most of the ROMs in the dev section are rooted. What ROM are you currently running?
EDIT: It says above you are on GB 2.3.6. If you are - SuperOneClick V2.3.3 will work. Go to this thread, read the OP - all of it - hell watch the video if you need to, then go here and download the current version. And lastly be patient while it is running.
You can also read this thread for EASY ways to flash kernels once rooted and get on custom ROMs.
I encourage you to READ THE WIKI BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE!

Will this run on Gmail version 2.3.6. Stock rom, but rooted?
Any installation info
Sent From my Two Tin Cans & String Device on The Wookie Network

Boot into recovery. Flash it with cwm.
I'm running it on ICS. Not sure about stock GB. Its worth trying though.

Thanks! Will it just replace / overwrite the current gmail, or would I need to copy / move the original gmail app?

It will replace it. No need to remove current version.

Flashed it.. When it finished, said something like "welcome to the darkness"... Rebooted..... And..... Same old gmail
Do you think that flashing again, will do anything?
Edit: flashed again... Still Pale & Pasty

Maybe because it's built for ICS.

Your missing the bootloaders for 2.3. Look for the guides in the sticky section for how to get the bootloaders and you'll be good

Best root method

I've found two methods on this forum for rooting my VZW GS3, the Casual root method and then there's that Toolkit found in the stickied thread that does root, recovery, roms etc etc. Which one is the best route to go for rooting.

Casual is newer, stick with that.
There's also a rooted stock Rom out there, just flash in odin and you should have root. But it'll wipe all of your information.
