ok, there used to be a nice how-to, can't find that one anymore but here is the status.
Device is rooted, and I read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274337. I booted into ODIN and see the device.
I am looking at blazers ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363071) as it seems the newest.
I am coming from an EVO, CWM, did everything that way, but this is all new. The older post had CWM mod as the loader, but not sure what is the preferred (is it more user) method of installing ROM's. The other problem is blazers thread says to follow the install instructions, but there are none and I am an ODIN noob.
So, is it a simple click PIT, point at the zip and go? I am also concerned since with CWM I could do a full backup 1st, etc. where as I said, this is all new.
Feel like a damn noob again
Thanks.
Once you have cm installed you just flash roms that way now just like you did on your evo its that easy

ok, well that's what I was hoping for, so now I will search for installing CWM since the thread (thought it was sticikied) was not on top, but at least that was the good news I was hoping for.
If u loom in the dev section there is a sticky on how to root without Odin and it will install cm for u. Look for that one its at the top and then u should be good to go. If u need more help just let me know I can help u out. I would post the link but I'm my touchpad

All thanks to sfhub for making it so easy. I personally have tried avoiding Odin as much as possible as there are many threads of people screwing up their phones by not being careful with Odin...
HA, that's the page I remember. Was having a problem eariler but that was due to the exploit was only for the EK31, I have the E02.
When I saw that old skool DOS screen I knew it was good, not to mention the screenshot showed the EK02 kernel
So with that, I did install that version, flashed it and BAM, got my CW5. Man what a site for sore eyes ... with that I am doing a FULL backup now and downloading a ROM to play with.
Thanks to everyone with this thread. Looking forward to the next good questions
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.

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,

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:
http://garwynn.rainmotorsports.net/subusybox.zip
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/
Or how about these instructions?: http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=166
This is my first android phone, so I am completely new to this. Can someone please set me straight? You guys are awesome!

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!

The link will show you three different ways to upgrade. Short answer is yes you can upgrade through cwm and keep root and cwm recovery. Read the first two posts in the link over and over until you know exactly what you are doing.
Good luck!

Lol!
Ive answered variants of this question at least a dozen times today! No offense.
No you wont get ota and it wont work unless you are 100% stock.
Go to the firmware thread in my sig and it explains a lot, provides downloads and instructions.
Check what all is there and ill be happy to answer any more questions.

Im coming from iphones where with jailbreaks there was a different procedure for each ios. Is it the same for androids?
P.s might've done this in the wrong thread i apologize but i literally just made this account right now to figure this one thing out. I want to go back to custom roms

Yea I see that, but with that method I'm re-flashing the ROM. With the other method I posted I'm only installing recovery and Root. I know I've read somewhere that with the method you mentioned no apps or data will be wiped, can you confirm this?

Yes I can. I rooted using that method and all of my apps and data was intact...with SuperSU added so I can utilize apps that require root. I lost no data whatsoever.
I did not install a recovery though because I am wanting to run the rooted stock ROM for the moment and just did not want to bother with recovery at the moment since it is an extra step (just being lazy). Eventually I will get around to installing a recovery and CM since it has always been a favorite of mine.

But see, now this http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/cwm-recovery-on-all-sgs3-lte-variants.html site says to install recovery, then run the root.zip inside of recovery to root.
This is conflicting information, as the how to here at xda says to flash the whole ROM again.

This is one way of rooting. The object behind the original link to XDA was to not flash the trip counter. I only mention XDA because I know this allows you to root JellyBean. Follow the xda verbatim step by step as it has been proven to work for JellyBean. Note that the posting on XDA does not say follow the instructions on the site linked in the quotes, but rather to download and extract the file referenced in question. Then you continue with the procedure as posted on the forum in XDA. Please note the remarks regarding a recovery and JellyBean and the counter being tripped.
There is not always one way to root. Take note that the above link for downloading the file for recovery is older than what has been done on the XDA site. Newer information typically is the safer way to go.

Then I tried the HOWTO on this forum and it worked, no data lost.
Only downside is that my first attempt tripped the flash counter, but I'm really not worried about it. Now to remove the rogers bloat ware...

Glad it worked. The information here on XDA is much more current than the site you were refering to anyway so your chance of success should lean more toward the updated information.

There are lots of guides to help you get started in this stuff. Search xda for noobs guide and you shoukd find a few. Then read all the stickies for our device.
And you must learn how to use Odin. No way to root without it.
