Follow these instructions much easier than Odin
Plus this does not increase your custom binary count
Is there a unroot option with this method? Did not see one in the instructions!
Thx,

A little confused as to which rooting method i need to use can someone please advise thanks
I've attached a pic of my system settings/build etc.

Thank you!
If you have access to Odin i'd recommend flashing over one of the pre-rooted packages.
You can use the ie22 GB rooting method according to Qbking77, and that way you won't need to ODIN or flash anything and lose your data.
Also next time post in Q & A so you don't get flamed

This is all I've been able to figure out. If you go to the one click root stickied post it links to a gingerbreak post that has a bunch of people posting that the gingerbreak method doesn't work for OTA upgrades.

The odin method does work... you have to odin a custom kernel to make cwm stick... then flash cwm with odin... then flash su.zip via cwm...

Honestly, since Rodderik responded to you in the one click root method thread, I would use the thread he linked you. You can't go wrong with anything he says, and Qbking's videos are always spot on as well. To be safe, I would do one of those. Back up all your apps and your homescreens and go from there.

But then someone else said it will not work in that same thread he linked me to so that confused me. This is my husband's phone i was asked to root so I dont want to mess it up.
Rodderik is one of the best Dev's we have. Ask for clarification or PM him if you want, but if it was me, that's what I would do.

The ei22 method is the same method for el30 and it most defenitely requires odin... but you don't lose any data...

Well I guess I am selling my E4GT since I got the gs3 I think im gonna return it to stock before selling to avoid any problems with the fact that its rooted making people nervous. My question is should I just use qbkings video on how to unroot and unbrick for el29? and just flash the stock el39 tar through odin? What is the safest way to go about this? I apologize if this thread has been done to death but the search option has dissapeared on me and im kinda pressed for time.
Quickest way would be to use sfhub's one-click EL29 Reset Data - clears everything. If you want to 'un-root' it you can use his Autoroot package to remove root afterwards. Just double check all is clear and you can then format SD card too.

I have an unrooted Samsung Galaxy S2 Sprint version that I never rooted, and I just updated to ICS stock (over the air update). While I had rooted another, this is my wife's phone and I want to root it to get better control over the battery issues. I read the wiki, but it all was dated to before the update.
Do any of the rooting methods work once you have already upgraded to the latest ICS update that came from Sprint?

I am unsure of the rooting methods at this point. Did you check the one click rooting sticky? I would put the phone in download mode and odin a rom of your choosing (like el29 from sfhub) then one click root, recovery and flash a rom of your choosing. This process is of course only if the existing methods don't work with the OTA.

Thanks for this. Will give it a shot tonight. While I am new at posting here, I have used this forum many times. I appreciate everyone doing all of this hard work!
Root
Use the preserve data version and you won't lose anything like contacts, files etc.
Will this work on a Sprint Samsung S2 running...
All,
I'm a total noob to rooting etc. A few questions to those who have done this. I have a Sprint Galaxy SII (model SPH-D710) running 4.0.4 w/Kernel ver. 3.0.15-SPH-D710.FH13-CL663858 [email protected] #3 - First can this be rooted? Are there any drawbacks or issues doing so (things not working etc.)? What is the best process and can anyone direct me to the best method to date?
Thanks,

Thanks for the info... Still looking to see if anyone can answer my other questions about rooting the ver, I have and if it's worth doing or if it's going to create more problems. Really just need to be able to use WiFi hotspot without getting jacked by Sprint.

The second link in the post above yours answers the question.
Once rooted you can use wifi tether from play store.

You have to remember that even though you are saying you are a noob it does not mean that you should not read, read, read and then read some more. Honestly I have no problem with your questions but if you took some time to read stickies and info in the forum you would have found the answers to your questions. Also a Google search referencing Wifi Hotspot and not being rooted would of taken you to FoxFi. I suggest you give that a try prior to rooting if thats all you really need.
Remember either xda or Google is there to help you but they can not if you do not ever use them properly.My last piece of advice if you are not one to do reading or not one to really want to take risk. DONT ROOT try FoxFi or the host of other tether options that dont require root
I second using Febby's method - that's how I would do it. Its the scalpel vs. ax analogy - Febby uses a scalpel, those who re-flash an entire rom use an ax. Both work if you follow directions.
Only down side to febby's method is yellow triangle. It is easy to get rid of any way.

Alternatively if you want Superuser, busybox and su instead of Supersu I have this .ZIP file here:

It's the same one that I use for the rooted packages.
How about JB?
My question is similar, only my phone (a Sprint Galaxy S2 [SPH-D710]) is already updated OTA to Jelly Bean. I'm looking to root only (keeping the stock ROM). Can someone point me to the correct guide for this?
Do I just use the GB27 One-Click from here?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31961585
With that One-Click, are these the correct instructions?: http://www.rwilco12.com/Files/Devic...Sprint) (SPH-D710)/Tutorials/SPHD710-Root.php
In the above instructions is mentions flashing a stock kernel to remove the Yellow Triangle and reset the Odin count, but if a stock kernel is what I am going for in the first place, is there a way to save a step?
Are these instructions a better way to go?: http://www.android.gs/root-galaxy-s2-official-jelly-bean-4-1-2-xwlsn/

OK,
You are another admited nooby, and that is OK.
However please, please take some time and read throught the stickies, how tos and follow up posts to the Original Posts.
You WILL save yourself a whole lot of time, frustration and possible flaming.
If you want the latest JellyBean Stock follow the insturctions here. They are detailed and precise.
It is the one-click root method that will give you the ernel, ROM and Modem in one shot.
You will NOT have a custom recovery (with CWM) and will NOT have the yellow triangle.
Not that you must run the one-click 'as administrator' first AND put your phone into download mode before before plugging it into the PC.
If you want a custom recovery (Garwynn's or Agat's) then you can keep the yellow triangle away by using Mobile Odin Pro. BUY it in the Play Store. Download the custome recovery of your choice and open Mobile Odin, Select Kernel, navigate to the .tar file you've transfered to your SD card and 'flash firmware'.
Really though please take some time, don't be impatient. It can save you making an expensive paperweight and have a taste of sh%t in your mouth.
Good luck.
Thanks!

Thanks. Your link is the link that I list at #5, above. I took the time to read through many many threads on this, but with so many unfamiliar terms and procedures, I wanted to make sure that I was following the method that will get me the results that I am after. Thanks so much for the confirmation!
