Im new to the rooting game and was hoping someone could give me an easy way to root my galaxy s 2.2 vibrant and some good reading about the whole root experience.
A way to unroot my phone would be helpful as I have been haing some problems with my phone. I believe these to be Samsung software issues such as stuck in thee booting prosess. Im on my second phone and have had to hard reset it several times

In the forum search look fo "z4root". I used it to root my epic . It took a few uninstall-reinstall-reboot-run-repeat cycles but I am successfully rooted and didn't even need a PC
Epic is as Epic does
Thanks ill try that.

Is that even on the market anymore?
I used one click lag fix to root mine

I tried the z4root and another one click root I found on the forums nneither of them worked. Probably because im running 2.2. I found a one click root using a computer so I think that will be my next attempt

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

Can you be more specific than 'error'? What exactly happened?
You definitely didn't follow the instructions.

Make sure you have USB debugging checked under apps/development, that's one cause for superoneclick freezing if I remember right.

Install the pre-rooted rom listed in the dev section. Really is no use in rooting when Samsung lets use flash the phone with custom roms via odin.
Bhundven's One-Clicks in the Dev section are excellent. All are based on KJ6 and two are already rooted.

Most of the ROMs in the dev section are rooted. What ROM are you currently running?
EDIT: It says above you are on GB 2.3.6. If you are - SuperOneClick V2.3.3 will work. Go to this thread, read the OP - all of it - hell watch the video if you need to, then go here and download the current version. And lastly be patient while it is running.
You can also read this thread for EASY ways to flash kernels once rooted and get on custom ROMs.
I encourage you to READ THE WIKI BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE!

You need to flash updated Google apps, do a search and you will find instructions and links for your issue

You are having a problem because you are on Froyo trying to run apps designed for Gingerbread and above.
Use qkster's Heimdall thread, post 1 will get you GB and post 2 will restore root. Here is the thread, many thanks to qkster: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081

I'm going to try and help solidsnake0928 get another lucid as a tester phone. He seems to believe he can unlock the boot loader and can continue forward from there. Hopefully we will be able to get some custom ROMs up soon once he gets it unlocked without fear of boot looping or bricking. ( other than the normal , not following instructions bricks)
Also I used the lg spectrum root package to root my 4.0.4 lucid
