Yes it can definetely be rooted after jellybean update, i know because I just done it about 2 hours ago and just about to flash cm10
I used odin and chainfires autoroot then used rom manager to update recovery.

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

It worked ok on my P-3113. Im on stock JB
Theres no CF-Root for Tab 2 but CF-Auto-Root.
Get the right version for your tab, and it is all rainbows, and puppies. It worked when other root options didn't . Chain is a huge developer for android.

CF Auto-Root worked great on mine with both ICS and JB.

It worked fine on my device, did it today with the latest OTA update. I just rooted without flashing a new rom. I have not encountered any problems as of yet.

When I bought my wife's Tab 2 (P3110) before xmas, it was running stock ICS. I rooted with this and had no issues whatsoever. Took all of 5 mins to do it, although have rooted previous android phones, this was my first time flashing using Odin.
Works great, and from there you can easily install custom Roms using ClockworkRecoveryMod.
So i had bought the sgs2 in dubai, now i live in india. Initially it used to run gingerbread and i updated it to ice cream sandwhich (over the air). Recently i updated it to jelly bean spain version via odin. I thought that odin would have rooted my phone, but after using a couple of apps which required root access did not accept my device as rooted.
I read some articles which said that rooting a phone depends on its version, country and also the current os.
Ofcourse mine is international version, but i am pretty much confused, because i bought this in dubai and running the jelly bean spain version.
I am new to this forum and a complete noob. Can anyone help me regarding this?
Thank you!

The S2 was and still is a popular device - I bet if you go to the international S2 forum there will be a guide or two.

Try : http://galaxys2root.com/
Maybe flash a rooted ROM, like Wanamlite or Neatrom. Search this forum!
Did you load superuser?
did you made a backup of your ROM ? if yes so restore it first
first do a proper backup
then root with binary4
so that u can unroot later
than if success enjoy installing custom roms
available in tons at xda
Plz don't span this forum you have a special forum..post on it or better,search a little man.

I have the ATT skyrocket rooted and unlocked when I first got the phone in 2011, and is on 4.04. I remember that the post said that I must unroot if I want to upgrade the rom OTA from ATT. Is there any other way to upgrade to the latest stockrom without unroot? I cannot find the post I originally referenced to root/unlock.

^^ what he said. Just get the .tar file from sammobile.com and flash using Odin. You will lose root after this process.
If you want to update using kies (the update is not ota. You have to use kies. ) then s long as kies detects your phone and you have a stock recovery, you should be OK.
However, I believe that you will loose your apps and data with both the methids.. So just use Odin

Thank you very much. I should be able to re-root after the upgrade, correct? Or the lastest 4.1.2 cannot be rooted yet?
I have problem with Odin before, never got anything done with it. Let me try it this time.

Yes you can root the new jb using the same procedure as before.

If your rooted why not just flash a stock rom with the newest update. That will save you the trouble of dealing with Odin.

Trouble? Odin is as simple as place file in pda and click start. I don't see any trouble there....

I meant it more of an hassle. Plug in Odin then uproot do the update then reroot. Just seems so much easier to flash a stock base rom.

Why would you unroot to do the update via Odin. I believe your logic is flawed here. Although I do agree an install would be expeditious via recovery, your argument is flawed.

Just FYI - I was on rooted stock, and just did the update with Kies without unrooting. Now i'm on JB unrooted as a result.
Hey all, I updated my Tab 2 the other day. It was urooted, stock pretty much just out the box. I hate the new update, is it possible to root my device on this new firmware?
I rooted my Tab 2 P5110 on the latest 4.2.2 using CF Autoroot. It's running like a dream
