[Q] Help rooting S Galaxy S2 (noob)

Hi
first off, if I am braking any rules by posting this here then pls direct me to the correct forum (very sorry if its in wrong place)
anyhow, I just got a new contract with a Samsung Galaxy S2 on virgin mobile (UK) & am hoping to root it so I can "maybe" install a new rom etc but the main reason I want root is because of the bloat that came with the phone. I don't really want to damage the phone, so I wont try until I know I am confidant in doing it without killing my baby.
can anybody either tell me how search works here because I cant find any info, or failing that tell/show me the easiest safest way to gain root on my baby.
if I root will virgin be able to tell if I ever need to send it in for repairs. I've heard of yellow triangles & flash counters & USB jigs & am very, very confuzed. pls help

I believe your model is the i9100, if so follow the guide below.

You can root via kernel which is the easiest
Sent from my LG-V909 using Tapatalk

if I root using this method can Samsung find out if I have to send it back, or is my warranty null & viod if I root?. thanks

I believe any method of rooting will void your warranty, so its best to return it to stock before sending it back to Samsung.

So again ill ask, is there any way for sum one to connect to my pc & root it for me pls? I don't want ics flashing, I just want root.

It's not that difficult, invest some time and you can do it yourself.
There are even youtube videos guiding people how to root their device.
If you have trouble or questions about a specific step ask here.
I wouldn't recommend giving a random person access to your computer via teamview...
Its usually:
- Find out what ROM version you currently have
- Look for the right kernel with root matching your ROM
- Get usb drivers for your computer
- Reboot your device in download mode
- Use Odin or Heimdall to flash the new kernel
From a quick glance, this looks pretty solid:
http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50004972/
Edit: was bored looked around some more.
So this actually is okay too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693
And this was the one i used to root a friends sgs2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Most difficult part was actually choosing the right kernel fitting the ROM, too much choice

thanks for the info.
can you tell me exactly which unsecure firmware to go for pls?
these are my kernel version etc on my phone...

A comprehensive guide will be available if you take your time and dig the sub-forums for the S2.

hey man ,
take a look at this , it's a one click thing. super easy super safe. your warranty won't work anymore , you have to be aware of that. so here you go
(i'm a new member of xda so i'm not allowed to post links)
there is a website called galaxys2root you will find a root galaxy s2 guide .

Try SuperOneClick. It's literally 1 click to root...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
You'll need the drivers for your phone already installed (Kies installs them for you), and you'll need to kill all processes that are related to Kies. Just read what to do on the above mentioned thread and you'll be rooted in no time.

Yup, I gathered that. Have a thanks

OK so I found the insecure & secure kernel for my fone (XWKI4) & I'm pretty sure cf-root is the way to go to gain root, but now I'm confused about the custom can in cf-root, I've read that in ics USB storage don't work, video record don't work etc so my question is this, should I root it at all as ics official will be out very soon & that has everything working except flash so should i wait? The 1 thing that's pushing me towards say CM9 ICS is the lack of touchwiz UI, if i choose a custom rom I get the full ICS UI experience which is what I'm after, but as this phone is very expensive I really don't like the idea of voiding my warranty 2 weeks into a 12 month contract. Suggestions welcome (& yes I've spent 6 days reading ALL sections & posts.)

you got it wrong man , you don't need the secure and insecure kernel anymore , look for the superonclick method. all you have to do is download a couple of stuff , plug your phone and click.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
everything works on ICS , it depends on the ROM you choose. so far the only incomplete ROM is the Cyanogenmod 9. but i'm currently on Resurrection ICS Remix v1.0 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854 )
and it runs great. it's blazing fast and super stable and everything works great. including camera and sd storage.

Cheers so if I root with SOC how do i then install Clockworkmod so i can flash ics resurection? Thanks for all the answers

All those users who have a bug free experience (I mean as if it was an official Samsung update) with ICS, kindly post here so that we all can know that actually how many people are satisfied with this leaked rom.

@ all of the above
I request you'll to post the screenshot of the info displayed by the 'eMMC Brickbug app' (Download it from Play store and run it), so that we can understand which emmc chips & their firmware versions are safe to flash ICS on.
BTW I've contacted a few devs of other Samsung Devices like Epic4G Touch, Galaxy S2 / Note which had identified the this Superbrick bug. Let's hope they respond & could help us sail through these tricky waters.
Will update if I get a response. So just post the emmc Brickbug app's screenshots which could help in identifying the faulty chips.

no bugs faced so far....

It is indeed a different model, i9120 and i727 are different phones. So for future reference your phone isn't Galaxy S II LTE in the international sense of the internet.
When searching for info for our phone these are the keywords to look for "SGH-i727 / SGH-i727r / i727 / i727r / Skyrocket". Any of those are correct.
This forum is the correct one. All the roms here should work as advertised.
I mean seriously, you might as well download a rom for motorola razr v3i and then ask why you're phone is bricked.
To avoid further confusion on your part read all the stickies in this forum and all of the sections, if you don't want to throw away your phone and if you want to learn how to do things that work.
CyanogenMod 10 for the Skyrocket is found here (<--link).
Good luck fine sir I wish you all the best.

Odin back to stock. You probably mucked it up with the wrong roms. And if you don't know how to do that you shouldn't be flashing anything.

Can you define what you mean by "lost my soft keys" .... ?
Are the haptic buttons on your phone not working or are you talking about having true soft keys, as in part of the UI?

Gotcha ...
Then my advice would be that if you lost the ability to use those buttons because of a specific ROM, you'll need to post that feedback into the appropriate ROM thread for assistance.
