Used toolkits, both found here, for both of my devices: RAZR XT910 and Nexus 7. Worked flawlessly the first time.
I've rooted my Desire with the unrevoked/revolutionary guide here on xda forums, quite a while back ago. Used CWM recovery afterwards. Flawless process.
The One V was also rooted with the guide here on xda, the easy one with htcdev. Not the hard root. My friend didn't want the hard root so I followed his orders, since it was his phone. Also flawless.

Hello there, noob here, just made the switch from iphone to Note 2 and I'm loving it. I was very familiar with the jailbreaking process of the iphone and now I'm trying to learn how to do the same with my Note2.
I see there are a lot of variants depending on the carrier so I did some research and finally found what I needed to root note 2 SGH-i317 (ATT), used Odin and CWM and everything went very smooth, now I have a rooted note2 confirmed with the root_checker app.
On problem though, when I try to get into TRWP recovery mode so I can install roms/kernells if I do the Volume_up + Home+ power, I only get a black screen. Can't get into it and don't know what to do. My phone works fine though.
Any suggestions?
Should I re-root? Is it possible?
thanks in advance

so.. i bought my nexus s 4g today, it will be here in a little over a week. do you guys think we will have full root access and maybe a stock rom that we can tweak by then?
i assume clockwork will be the recovery we will need to use? sorta excited here.
all i need is a stock rooted rom and a custom kernel with sbc and ill take care of the themeing.
we also are going to need a cdma section on here for the nexus s.
Excited huh?
Assuming existing CWM recovery works, all you have to do to root is use fastboot to unlock bootloader and flash CWM recovery, then in CWM flash the SuperUser zip. That's it!
SBC is an HTC thing. You won't find it around here.
Get your Android SDK ready now, and you be rooted within 10 minutes of getting the phone!

Twrp hands down over cwm. Plus many of the hox custom ROMs require Twrp.
TWRP is the only officially supported recovery for the HOX right now. CWM is unofficial and contains some bugs last time I checked.

Who has the VM USA Galaxy S2 variant, what did you flash and are currently running? I am curious to know what others use as daily drivers, what has worked for them, and how they went about obtaining it.
I have looked around but to no avail in the last few months have I seen a huge dev support for SPH-D710VMUB. I have successfully updated my phone to sxtp GB28 Rom w/ root and MidnightRom but have not tried CM10.1 because of rom issues and flashing confusion.
I have recently flashed CarbonRom (LOVE IT) because it was listed in MidnightRoms goomanager app under "other compatible roms". At the time I did not know it was strictly for Sprint but it took okay. Everything seems to work flawlessly except data of course (no 3G/4G therefore no MMS, GPS, etc.) I have looked at APN apps (have a thread made for that), but no luck on getting any of it to work.
Check out my thread on CarbonRom. I'm thinking of close it down since I have this one up now. It has images and links however.

If you want to recover your touchwiz nandroid coming from a CM10 based ROM or clockwork mod recovery, you will need to restore first time using CWM then when your new ROM and recovery are flashed, boot up system then go back into recovery (which should now be Agats) and restore the nandroid one more time doing this.
The reason being, CM10 CWM is not fully compatible with TW basedbased ROMs and so they won't fully restore your ROM. I figured this out myself.

It's a little complicated than that. Remember, on Samsung phones, the rom and recovery are intertwined. Meaning when you flash your ROM it will have a recovery specific to that ROM. CWM/CM10 recoveries aren't fully compatible with TouchWiz Roms. You'll need an altered version of CWM/TWRP for that.
I went and flashed GB28 rooted with Agats recovery by sxtp developers. It has a full tutorial on that page. Specific to virgin mobile. You'll need to download the drivers and software and its pretty straight forward. I'll post a link.
If you want to go from there to a CM10 based ROM afterwards, I can help you.

No. Most all of the ROMs you flash will have root access in one form or another. TW will have SuperSU and CM10, SuperUser/BusyBox most likely. So don't worry about root. And when you flash a ROM, you will be flashing its new recovery also. No, it should not mess anything up if you follow the method specific to the ROM.
Sent from my VM E4GT using Tapatalk 4
Here is what I would do: Use Odin (mobile or PC) to flash a rooted version of your stock ROM. It could have a recovery to it or not. If not, then after you flash the stock ROM, flash a compatible recovery. I used Agats for TW. Once you have that, download the CM10 zip, boot into recovery. It is advised you follow their instructions however this is how I did mine. It worked for the most part.
Once you are in agats cwm recovery, wipe data/ factory reset/cache/dalvik. Don't think you need to format, but to he safe it'd be system/cache/data (check on that). Don't format internal or you will lose everything (like backups and zips among the important). You can then flash your ROM and gapps.
Reboot, will take a little while. Then go back into recovery when you can (it should be a new recovery that came with the ROM). Do all of the same methods above for a clean install of your ROM in this new recovery. Boot, and you SHOULD be set to go. Hope this helps.

You can google virgin mobile galaxy s2 gb28 recovery. It'll be on sex tapes forums. Follow their guide and they will have rooted and unrooted versions of the official jellybean release with agats. Also look for a user named TheBritton who has, literally a "noobs guide" to all ROMs/methods with links, for our phone. I'll find a link.

So you have the recovery flashed then. Which? Agats is for Touchwiz based ROMs not Cyanogenmod technically. Try my method. Go to sxtps website and look for GB28 w/Agats recovery. Flash a touchwiz ROM, like MidnightRom, then try CM10. (Or one of the better ROMs mentioned in this thread).

Area51's CWM does not appear to play nice with any phone rooted with Poot however so it's best to install CWM from Area51 first and then use their root method.

The root method used at A51 is out-of-date, and can't be updated. Therefore, you'll continuously receive an update notification and won't be able to stop it.

Not True! All you have to do is just not install the update when it boots you into CWM. This will be fixed when they complete the ROM they're working on. I don't get update reminders after accepting the first one and just not installing it once in recovery mode at the install screen!

You might want to wait for Area51 to complete their first ROM for the phone. Currently it has an annoying update that keeps trying to install over the rooted stock OS that will break root if you install it. Of course you can just keep clicking on accept and then selecting NO when you get to the install update screen in CWM like I do, but it's an annoyance.
