New to gs2

Sup guys, just got my gs2 and almost let my buddy do it but he messed his up pretty good. What's a good way to root and flash roms on this phone and what's a good stable rom? Thanks guys for helping out.

Check the stickies, in the general section. But basically if you're on 2.3.5 use one click then rom manager.
If on 2.3.6 use odin and flash cwm then use cwm to flash a rom

Once you have clockwork mod recovery on your sgs2 you can install custom roms, and most importantly, make backups. this should be your 1st order of business.

Definitely read the stickies/FAQs.
This is what I used to root my SG2 last week:

As far as ROMs, I'm currently on Darkside 2.3 and it's perfect for me.
Edit:
After rooting and before flashing the ROM, I forgot to mention that I followed this to install CWM:

Newbie in need of help.

Hey guys I'm new to the whole rooting and roming thing, i just rooted my phone yesterday and with nice guides from qbking77 in YouTube I was able to install AOSP Alpha 6 jb ROM using agar recovery so now that you know my lil story my question is...
To install a new ROM all I have to do is copy to sdcard the files, boot agar recovery do the 3 wipe steps and install? Or do I have to restore my stock recovery first then wipe?
Very sorry for my big newb question but I hope ppl can help me
Thanks.
P.s I think this is the correct section to post this but if it isn't please move it, thanks.

Welcome to rooting.. so if im getting your question right you want to go to a new ROM possibly.. and youre on AOSP..well since you are new I would suggest using a one click odin (your choice ) and start from there since you are on A JB build ...

+1 for one click of your choice, make sure you pick a full wipe one though.

I would flash over the EL26 CWM kernel, first it just makes it easier for you, and is a very safe recovery to flash from.

Thank you guys, actually I just wanted to know what to do when I decide to explore others roms but for now I really like this one so Ima stay here a while I didnt knew rooting would be this cool but new roms and with apps like setcpu this is very nice, thanks again.

Oh I see well all is your choice on the path..one major thing I suggest is when moving from ROM to ROM back up your apps ..(non system apps)and make sure to wipe on a safe recoveries (Kuban kernel, agats, el26) problems can arise from dirty installs
I also suggest ROM toolbox from the play store its a great tool that basically does everything

[Kernel]Insecure/Rooted, Recovery-Flashable UCALH9[ADB][init.d][Custom Bootanimation]

Hey everyone,
This is a modified stock kernel based on AT&T UCALH9 and is ONLY compatible with stock-based ICS roms. I haven't seen this around so I decided to make it myself for all to use and assist in development. The root application of choice is Chainfire's SuperSU. Remember that the first boot takes longer than usual after you clear the cache.
Features:
•Insecure rooted kernel
•init.d script support
•ADB support
•Custom bootanimation.zip support
Instructions:
1.Download the recovery-flashable zip to your phone's SD card
2.Flash in recovery
3.Wipe cache and dalvik cache
4.Reboot and enjoy
Standard disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything bad that happens to your phone. I have personally tested this on my own AT&T SGS3 and it works great for me.
Special thanks to NunHugger for his infinite wisdom in helping me figure out how to get custom boot animations working and letting me borrow his updater script. Also thanks to dsixda for the amazing Android Kitchen.

From here

Or, alternatively, directly from this thread
Kernel Source: http://opensource.samsung.com

Secondary ODIN Instructions
This is the modified kernel made flashable in ODIN ONLY. Do not flash this in recovery as it will not work. Flashing with ODIN will increase your flash counter so if you use it, make sure to use Triangle Away to set your counter back to zero. Flashing using Mobile ODIN will NOT increase your flash counter, however.

Awesome, thank you for putting this together! Seems like everyone here is using leaked jb builds, ports, etc. and no one is building on the latest ota ics update. At the moment I'm more interested in stability than trying out new stuff so I'm on rooted, debloated stock UCALH9.
I'll give this a whirl today, thanks again for working on it. :beer:

You're welcome! I haven't seen much LH9 work either so I figured it's a step in the right direction. After talking to Nun, he inspired me to eventually release my own rom, so you guys keep an eye out. I'm busy with the university, but more recently learning development. I want to push out something nice for you guys if I can get the time, no ETA.

Thanks again, it's working great. Thanks to this kernel I was able to get some of the V6 Supercharger settings to stick that wouldn't stick on re-boot before (except for those setting requiring a deodexed rom), as well as some performance enhancements and custom boot animation using Rom Toolbox that I couldn't get to work before.
Looking forward to trying out your rom. Cheers! :beer:

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if there is any demand for a UCALH9 based ROM with Aroma installer so you can pick and choose what you want included, and that also includes this kernel. I may have something along those lines in the works.

Thanks for the kernel. I’m getting longer “deep sleep” now and Light Flow seems to be working better too.
A deodex, rooted LH9 rom would be nice. Not a user of Aroma installer.

I'm glad to hear that. Aroma is nice, but it takes a long time to get it set up to my liking (I don't like issues). I'm happy to announce that I am currently uploading a ROM based on UCALH9 with this kernel included. I've spent a lot of time on this to make it right. Expect new updates soon As I talk to themers. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33584484#post33584484

drothenburger's thread in General has an unmodified UCALH9 kernel. I don't know if it's rooted. I have a stock boot animation in themes and apps that you can use with this kernel though to remedy the stock feel.

For whatever reason I was more reckless with my captivate and did not care, but I never even soft bricked it...however..just to be sure..I download the recovery flashable kernel, put it on my ext-sd card, boot into stock 3e recovery, and I can flash this?

You will need to flash this from a custom recovery rather than 3e. Cwm or twrp will work. You can flash the tar file from Odin though. It will increase your flash counter though. Easily remedied once you're rooted with triangle away. Note that this will not automatically root you. Use qcom toolkit for that

flashed att note 1 rom...am i bricked? also, wheres AOKP???

i know i know stupid for not reading properly and following links from google...but i can still get into recovery and download so i assume i am ok once i flash a rom for the note 2? downloading jellybeer as we speak...
also, i cant seem to find an AOKP rom. i guess im missing that too by lack of reading...

Go dl a stock root injected rom and MAKE A BACKUP
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium

If you can get into download or recovery you should be ok. Download any NOTE 2 <---! Rom and put it on your external SD Card. Just install it from TWRP/CWM from there. AOKP isn't out for our phone yet, and I haven't seen a stock version rom either.

Closest to KK is going to be Jedi or Clearom. Both are outstanding roms, with awesome support. Check them out in the development section.

thanks bro i downloaded the file it was 1.5 gigs, so do you know which custom recovery works best for tmo galaxy s4? and which version?
thanks in advanced:good:

CWM and TWRP both work but with kitkat roms personally I've had better luck with TWRP (using 2.7.0.0).

Alright thanks let me back up my phone text and let the rooting begin...
