[Q] Confused!!!!

I am a total noob..sry folks but there are so many forums that it only confused me more. I just bought a While Samsung Galacy S2 from Sprint.
Model : SPH-D710
Android version : 2.3.6
Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EL29-CL852097
My question should I be looking for information on rooting the phone in the Samsung Galaxy S2 4G.
Also can I get simple instructions on how to root. The couple of stickys on this forum say, you should have root.....
Just want to start from the basics,
1/ how to root the phone
2/ install Odin (or is this used only for rooting)
3/ CWM mentioned everywhere what is the purpose and when do I install
4/ I would also like to try the new ROM's
5/ How, when and what to use to backup the original phone before attempting the above.
Hope this does not sound so stupid, I will continue to browse the forums.
Thanks.

First I wouldn't flash anything from this particular forum as this is strictly for Samsung galaxy s 4g phones NO OTHERS!

My question...
1. Where can I learn how to root my US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S3?

A simply Google search found me this

Questions about Rooting and Flashing.

Hi All,
I have an AT&T Note 3 (model no. N900AUCUBMJ5). I want to root it, but am not finding a FAQ thread for it similar to threads that I have used for my other android phones. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Or help answer the following questions?
1. Can I root this model Note 3? I have seen and read a lot of threads about phones being bricked or "soft-bricked" phones with this model no.
2. Can I flash roms on this model Note 3? I have seen and read a lot of threads about the bootloader being locked, etc. but I also see that there are custom roms for the phone.
3. Anything other guidance or advice you can offer is much appreciated!
Thank you! I am very excited to begin using my Note 3. This is my first upgrade since the MyTouch!
MODS: please move to proper forum; I don't know how to delete. Sorry for posting in the wrong forum.

[Completed] ROOT: What Guide do I use for Galaxy S4 SPH-L720T 5.0.1

What Guide do I use for Galaxy S4 SPH-L720T 5.0.1
I have rooted the phone before or so I thought but apparently something didn't take.
I have tried to find what guide to use but there seem to be so many variables and I am a bit lost on the phone terminology that I can't find the information I am looking for.
I am just looking for a guide that gives me step by step for this version
thanks
