You don't need to be running any of those unless the ROM your going to flash is based off of those and can't be used with EC05.
You will be fine just following the one click root thread

Just to clarify, EC05 is the latest official modem version of software. E being for the year 2011, C for the month March and 05 for the 5th day. The DK28 and EB13 are older modems and versions of software.

In addition, just so you're not surprised if you see it there is another modem (EE03) that some ROMs recommend you flash. I have it on my phone and works great

Just been getting confused over the dual stuff and all the other numbers when I say dual I mean like on you tube I was watching installs of like a few of viper roms and seen it said dual guessing that means rfs or ext4? I apologize bout all the questions just being cautious to make sure I get it right. Thanks again to everyone

Glad it works for you. I get no 3G. Icon on but no network and then it kills the battery. EC05 is best for 2.2 for my area.

You are correct. Dual means can run either file system, RFS or EXT4.

Ok got another noob question I rooted my phone with cmw 2.5.5 I believe and was wandering how I need to go about going to the latest version of cwm? I used the search and came up with nothing. Thanks for the help again!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I'm assuming you know how to use the cwm
Boot into clockwork and flash the newest version from this thread, on step 6, ignore the rest.

I'm not entirely sure.
But odex is basically stock, and deodexed is having removed all of the files with the ".odex" extension.
And most themes require deodexed roms
no problem
I was at this stage not too long ago too

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:

[Q] Looking for Stock 2.3.6, Root/CWM

Hello,
I hate to be the noob. I'm coming from the Skyrocket forum where there's a nice stickie with links to all the Root, CWM, and all the available roms & mods.
The Epic 4G forum has a lot of posts and threads and all I have rift now is my phone to browse which makes it harder to search but all I really need are links to the download mode op, the proper CWM version, and a stock, debloated 2.3.6 ROM threads.
I'm trying to help my girlfriend who has the 4G and its running like ****. I won't need any help actually gaining root and flashing given my learned experience with the Skyrocket.
Again, I apologize for being the noob and I'm hoping I wont get flamed too hard. Thanks for your time, your forum, the hard work you do for the 4G and hopefully, your brief effort.

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.

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
