Root an rooted non rooted Galaxy S2 - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 2 with:
Agat_GB27_v1.3.0
It didnt actually root my phone.
Is this because the new Jelly bean is 4.1.2 GB28 and what i downloaded is presumably GB27? If so, whats the cure? Does anyone know of a newer root solution? Maybe Framaroot?
I just dont want to try it without a bit of guidance since im not exactly at stock settings and when i tried to install stock kernel, it didnt work, so its hard to start from ground zero from my noobie stand-point.

Ask the mods to move this to your device's forum.

I cant find any forum on here for Samsung Galaxy S II SPH-D710.

I think that's the epic 4g.

Sight for sore eyes: D710 is "Samsung Epic 4G Touch" and I confirmed minutes ago that there IS a forum for it.

Lol, everyone that still posts threads in this forum for the SGS2 should receive a 1 day temp ban for not reading the #1 sticky. So many wrong device threads over the last few months.

Jellybean ROM on Galaxy S2??

I just got this email saying a jellybean rom was just made today for the S2. I know I have a Epic 4G Touch Sprint's Galaxy S2, but what does this mean for us? Will it work on my Epic 4G Touch running rooted ICS? Won't let me post the link cause I'm "new" =/
No I'm sure it was talking about the international version

Just a question...... Did it ever cross your mind to read one of the other 2 JB threads here? Or Google it? I'm not trying to be mean...but ...come on guy...ya gotta take time and read first....there are others that aren't as nice....research, read, and then write.

Idk this is what the article says from "galaxys2rootdotcom"
"WHAT? Jelly Bean ROM for rooted Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 users?
Yes, a “fully-working” “X-TremE” CM10 Jelly Bean ROM is now available for your Galaxy S2 GT-i9100, with camera/camcorder/Netflix/Hulu working!
This is the “best” Jelly Bean ROM I’ve seen on Android smartphones other than the Nexus devices so far. You do get a fully-working Jelly Bean ROM so this can be a daily driver.
What are you waiting for!!! "

Best advice ever. I recommend lurking a bit here for a few days, maybe a week, to really learn as much as possible. It may seem daunting at first, but it is totally worth it. I'm a recovering flash addict myself, but we do have CM10 in the works and like you, I'm very excited! If you would like, PM me or something and I'll help intro you a bit to XDA.

There's no reason to go lower than LK3. Mind if I ask why you want that old ICS crap ROM? Which was completely terrible on the S3.
I don't want the rom just wanted to know why it was completely abandoned

Most likely, there's no reason to dev on old releases.
That's true but when ever I have had a phone like the atrix 2 it got jb but there is still a lot of gingerbread Roms......I was just wondering about this so thanks again
