Below is the instructions to install CWM and root on the S2 HD LTE. (credit to the user dsixda)
Get the required files here
To install CWM Recovery:
If you don't already have Odin, download it from the link above, and extract the zipped file to a folder. Ensure both the .EXE and .INI file have been extracted.
Download the TAR file for ClockWorkMod Recovery (e.g. cwm_recovery_xxxx.tar, or if you want the version that uses finger touch input: cwm_touch_recovery_xxxx.tar). Do not extract the file out of it, keep the TAR file as it is.
Turn off the phone
Put it into Download mode by pressing Power and Volume Down at the same time. The device will vibrate and soon you will see a Warning screen, where you will need to press Volume Up to enter Download mode. (NOTE: You can also use the Galaxy S2 USB Jig to go straight to Download mode. I recommend you get one from eBay just in case.)
While in Download mode, start up Odin and connect your phone to the PC via USB. You should see a status message in Odin saying your device was "added".
In Odin, press the BOOTLOADER button and select the CWM TAR file you just downloaded.
In Odin, press Start. Your custom recovery should be flashed completely in a span of a few seconds, and then it should say "PASS" in Odin. If it doesn't finish and is stuck, then your file was either corrupted during the download or there was an MD5 mismatch (this is not a regular TAR file, it has an MD5 signature).
IMPORTANT: If you downloaded the "Touch" version of CWM, *avoid* using the "Reboot to Recovery" option in the ROM or apps like Quick Boot to boot into recovery. I have found that using such apps with Touch Recovery causes every subsequent reboot to go back into recovery rather than to the system. If you are stuck in this state, re-flash the recovery image so that it boots back to the system. Next time, if you want to get into recovery, use the button combination mentioned in the steps below instead. If you have the non-touch (normal) version of CWM, this issue won't happen.
To enter CWM Recovery:
Turn off the phone
Hold down the Power button to turn the phone on, and then immediately hold down Volume Up + Volume Down at the same time.
The device will then show the word "Samsung". Let go of the buttons at the exact moment you see this.
If you did it on time, you will enter CWM Recovery. Use the Volume keys to move up and down, and press Power to select. The capacitive buttons do this: Menu = DOWN, Back = BACK to main menu, Search = SELECT
NOTE: If you had flashed CWM but are still seeing the stock recovery image, then re-flash CWM and afterwards pull the USB cable immediately after seeing 'PASS' in Odin, while the phone's screen is black. Then do the button combo shown above to get into CWM.
Make sure you make a Nandroid backup of everything the first time you use custom recovery. The backup will be stored under the 'clockworkmod' folder of your SD card.
To root your device through CWM:
This step is only if you want to root the stock firmware that is currently on your device. If you are going to flash a ROM like CyanogenMod, then you can skip this section, since most custom ROMs already have root installed.
You need to first download root_sgs2hdbell.zip from the Dev-Host site linked above. Copy it to your device's internal or external SD card.
Then go back into CWM and flash the ZIP. You should now be rooted, you don't need to do anything else to your stock ROM.

Doesn't work for me. Signature verification failed.

that supersu will work on anything... you just need to flash CWM...

So it must flash cwm first, is it will get yellow triangle and binary counter?
is there temporary cwm?

nope... we wont have yellow triangle or binary counter count... we are not note/note2/s3/s4

Thanks. So there is no yellow triangle or binary counter effect when flashing via odin for 7.7.

the universal root works, got my jb4.1.2 rooted. now removing the bloatwares.

Any other way to inject cwm without using odin on pc? I'm trying to root this one but i need first to install cwm. I don't want to increase my flash counter.

I guess i have no choice then. Time to say Goodbye to my warranty.
UPDATE:
My custom binary download is still "NO". I think it will start counting when you flashed a full custom rom using odin3 on pc. I'm gonna use mobile odin pro now.

i forgot how many times i had flash my device... the counter still said no... so it wont increase... and i had sent my device in its root condition due to hardware failure... twice... the service centre dont even care... :highfive: i flash the latest jb around 7 times already as i experimenting some other device mod that might be compatible with the tab... (yup i'm lazy to do nandroid backup) and several times more as i am perfecting the damn script for making my new deodexed slim version of current jb release... the counter still NO... so dont worry... flash awayyyy...

True. We're in the same scenario and i thought they didn't care at all about users installing custom roms. One time, i go to their shop to service my unit because of software issues. I was surprised that they recommend me to flash my own unit using odin, even my unit is still under warranty. I think they are too lazy to flash a unit that is still under warranty because it covers it all (No pay). Another day i visit their store and i noticed their 2 tabs has Supersu on it. LOL.
This is is my 1st time to use odin pc to my tab. I frequently used mobile odin pro on my android devices. That's right! Flash to the max!

Can someone describe how to root the P6800 with Stock JB in detail? I have tried following the links in the earlier posts, but with no success. I had it rooted with 4.0.4, and need root to get a higher volume.. cwm-6.0.3.0-p6800.tar did not work with Odin. isn't there a zip file so I can root from standard recovery?

I have a question. After this root, stock recovery will be replaced by CWM. So is it possible to go back to stock recovery after rooting?? And If it is possible then will be noticeable by samsung if I go to samsung care??

It's not necessary to remove it, however, it's better to do so before any rom installation (just in case your rom installation went wrong and you needed to take your phone to samsung care/service center).

Thanks for the wonderful tutorial and effort!

The method is easy and well constructed, but I want to add something else:
I think is better to add in step 4 - Copy SuperSU-v1.25.zip and BusyBox.zip to root of External SD of your Phone
Newbies will avoid to turn off their devices.

You should boot in download mode in order to flash anything via Odin.

Need help just making sure

Hi, this is my first time rooting and installing a custom rom onto my phone and I just wanted make sure I didn't forget anything of do anything stupid...
Alright so I have a SG3, the Videotron Variant on 4.3 stock rom
I downloaded the drivers for my phone, am using the USB cable, and have installed Odin on my computer.
I followed this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687
and I downloaded the "Videotron image"
my following steps would be to
"Extract the root66 tar file from the .7z file you downloaded.
Put phone into download mode [ with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ], connect to computer and open Odin.
once in odin click the PDA field and select the root66 tar you downloaded.
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.
click start and
when done let phone reboot."
and third of all, i'd install ClockworkMod recovery then grab Rom Manager from the Play store and in the menu select to install ClockworkMod Recovery and then install a custom rom from there
Am I missing any steps? For example I was reading about the OTA update section and I didn't understand anything...
Thank you!

Hey, i am no expert but i can tell u one thing a lot of things happened with me when i tried to flash through odin. All sorts of error popped up and i had to search the internet for 2days to get it solved. Hence i would advice you to not go through odin. For custom roms i dont think you have to be rooted. I flashed my gts6102 via cwm my first time and i dont think i had rooted it before hand. Try to look for a flashable zip file for rooting and flash it via cwm

"Extract the root66 tar file from the .7z file you downloaded.
Put phone into download mode [ with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ], connect to computer and open Odin.
once in odin click the PDA field and select the root66 tar you downloaded.
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.
click start and
when done let phone reboot."
and third of all, i'd install ClockworkMod recovery then grab Rom Manager from the Play store and in the menu select to install ClockworkMod Recovery and then install a custom rom from there
Am I missing any steps? For example I was reading about the OTA update section and I didn't understand anything...
Thank you!

Don't you need a battery pull?
Try Framaroot and then install rom manager and load cwm from there.

Hey, i went into boot loop after an odin flash and got "invalid argument" error since my data partition could not be mounted. I found a zip file to flash via cwm recovery that install superuser.apk and the su file in bin from xda. So i have recovered from the odin problem and have a custom rom xduosv3, rooted and running currently on my gt s6102
