Root Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 - Android General

Hi,
I am completely new at this and wanted to find out how exactly to root a Samsung Galaxy s2. I have read around forums and one says one thing and the other says something help. Can you help me. Can you root it through the stock kernel or do you need another one and how do you get it with no yellow triangle (without a USB Jig). Then how exactly do you put a rom on and super user. Also how do you remove root and the rom if you want to go back to stock. Thank you any help appreciated.

Hello everyone,
So today I was searching on the internet for a 4.0 android version for my Samsung galaxy S plus. I found a website and it said I first had to flash Clockworkmod recovery on my phone, so I followed the instructions and then had one huge problem. When I now turn on my phone, the only thing I see is a phone icon--> Orange sign-->Computer icon. I really dont know what to do now.
I can't post the link of the site where I got it from but it's called: androidauthority.com
I hope you guys/girls can help me out,
Regards, Lars.

[Completed] NEED HELP with ROOT/ others S3 Mini

I want to give my S3 Mini Root Access to potentially start installing Custom Roms. However, researching the topic has gotten extremely confusing. I have the international version but I don't know from which country. I got it off Amazon.com. My questions are
1. How do I go about giving this S3 Mini root Access
2. How do I go back to the Stock ( Samsung FW/ Rom if I do not like the Rom I installed)
3. Are there easy methods to rooting with a MAC device? ( My main computer but I can find access to a windows computer if needed)

Any help or information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was able to root my phone. Now my question is that I would like to run a lag free system. Would changing the Rom fix that? Will I lose any features on my phone? I want a rom that is Simple ( google edition phone/ no bloatware) My current system is 4.2.1, would I need to stay on 4.2.1 to keep my features or that doesnt matter.

[Completed] Help with Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Straight Talk SM-S820L

Hi sorry to ask such noob questions but I have just purchased my first Samsung device the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-S820L Straight Talk and I am trying to figure out how to create or get a copy of a stock recovery image it is my understanding that this model is fairly new so there is not much around specific to his model of phone and I have only manged to find a handful of posts on this device, what I need to do is make a stock recovery img then root then install xposed framework so that I can change the "Rom Status" on my phone back to "official" after root changes it to "custom" so that I can still recieve the OTA lollipop update when it is sent out, but to do this I need a recovery first in case any issues arrive any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I have been researching this whole thing for days to no avail and would really like to get this done, thanks so much for your help in advance and again sorry for the noobish post.
