You can use Odin to put CWM to ur phone, then flash Super user. All those files and step by step guideline is available as sticky notes in our forum.

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.

As far as ROMs, I'm currently on Darkside 2.3 and it's perfect for me.

After rooting and before flashing the ROM, I forgot to mention that I followed this to install CWM:

Hi, so from like a month ago i try to get flash player working on my gio, I tryed every flash player from this forum and I searched on google too, but nothing. I just can't make it work. I every time do it how the instructions say and when I'm done i double check to see if I did something wrong, but no ! I make everything correct every time but flash player isn't working! What do I need to do to make it work?

Upgrading to 2.3 maybe

You need Flash Player on smartphone? I honestly see no purpose. Even on PC.
Search "adobe flash player armv6" on google and download, it's working also, upgrade to 2.3 if you can
I will not upgrade cause if my phone broke or something my dad will be very angry cause he bought me the phone and I don't risk, I want to upgrade but my dad won't let me! And iok1 I tryed it's not working!

Just follow the instructions Kies gives you.. You'll be fine..
Ok installed kies and plugged in my phone and it says new firmware update aviable and I just follow the instructions and when it's done the android is updated?
And will this remove the root? And should I take off the SD card?

So you managed to updated your phone to 2.3.3 ? If you did that now you have to root your phone again and go to "big thread for new users" in Galaxy Gio General forums. There you have a link on how to instal flash to your device.

Hey everyone!
I'm new to the forums and I'm super excited. I've been wanting to root my SII for over half a year and I've finally built the courage to do so. I've looked through the forums and I found Melvin's post on how to root.
My question is, can I root my SII when its in version 4.0.4 UVLH1 using Melvin's method? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311194)
Thanks!

Yes

Its essentially the same thing. Flash CWM from Odin, then boot into CWM and flash superuser.
Something about superuser version...

I rooted many phones in my life, I never had problems rooting a phone like this peace of ****!! does any one out there give a much easier link to root this crap?? Im currently on the latest version ics , or is there a way to revert back to GB like most HTC phones do?
Follow the stickied unbricking guide to get back to GB. If you want to return to official ICS use the CWM flashable version.
...and was there really a need for the swearing?
Rooting a phone with a locked bootloader isn't stuff to any n00b. It requires following huge tutorials or aknowlege to do it on their own.
This isn't a samsung galaxy for example.

Here's my Tip:
When using WIFI Tether, change your profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE).... Works like a champ with no issues.

People come to this thread for rooting, custom ROMS, ect....so I think this is a great place for this thread so they can find all guides in one place.
I agree that this should be in General.
Techfanatic9, this is good work and you keep supporting it which is great, but this would be better served in General.
