Can anyone give some good direction on how to root my new Galaxy S2? And the benefits of doing so? I was apple user and know everything about jailbreaking but nothing of rooting ( advantages or disavantages ). And if I do root my phone is there away to turn back to the orginal phone settings? I really want to get rid of this stupid bloatware or whatever its called that runs on my phone in the background and that I currently cant remove?
you MUST be new here....

I really really want this but it seems nobody has made it or wants to make it.
I want to make it but I've never made a ROM.
How could I make it? Is it even possible?

Take a look at Samsung Open Soucre Release Center an search for T110. You can get Sources for JB and KK.
If there's a source for jb you would think a rom would be released

I tried to port CM10 today but couldn't get it to boot. I too would love to see something other than touchwiz. If I run across anything that will get us closer to "other than stock" I will be sure to post it here.

I tried to use the tab2 lite as the port. Any suggestions as to which tablet I could use to port from. I figured the Tab2 would have made a perfect candidate but man was I wrong. Back to the drawing board. Lol.

You should research what root is, before deciding you want it.
You don't really need a "mentor" for this kind of thing. XDA is a wealth of information for the taking. Just take some time to look at the numerous guides, index threads, FAQ threads, and familiarize yourself with the concepts, benefits, risks, etc. Take the time to learn and understand before trying anything. If you feel like you've made a reasonable effort to search and research on your own and still have questions, by all means come back and post those questions for us to answer.

Correction: There is CURRENTLY no way to root the Verizon Retail Edition of the Galaxy Note 4., since (AFAIK) the bootloader is locked. The same goes for the AT&T version, as well. If you NEED root now, sell your phone and get a different one, OR get the Developer Edition directly from Samsung. I would like to add, that other, new phones that I've looked at, do not have a Micro SD slot. For some people (like me), this is imperative.
But yes, use the search feature of the forums. There's currently a very large "bounty" for anyone (or group of persons) who/that achieve(s) root. There are discussions on root progress for both the Verizon and AT&T models, as well as a heavily moderated development thread (which anyone can view, but if you aren't a dev, you're asked not to post in the thread).
I assume that if/when root is found, there will be a HUGE announcement.
Coming from my previous phone, the only reason I had to root, was to be able to use certain apps that required root. A very popular one, is Titanium Backup Pro, where you can freeze the bloatware. Additionally, to install custom ROMS that did not have bloatware. Considering that the Note 4 has 3x the amount of RAM, this so far isn't a problem.
Another thing that comes in handy, is Debloater. Kind of the same principle of freezing your apps, if I understand correctly. Use at your own risk.
That said, yes, we don't have root., yet. Yes, it sucks, but it's not a complete lost cause. It just means that you can't use some root required apps, yet. One other thing, I was just informed about an app called Helium where you could perform backups without root. I have yet to try it, as I'm barely setting it up right now. I also have two other apps that back up my call logs and my SMS messages.
Oh yeah, when root is announced and is available, it will be everywhere haha
For someone who's more savvy... Is it worth updating to lollipop? Or wait?

And someone with two posts decided to flame someone for asking an admittedly dumb question after everyone had already shown him where to look, he already acknowledged the answer to his question, and the whole thread hadn't had a reply in three weeks. Way to resurrect a non-issue so you could be Tommy Toughnuts on the interwebs.
Read the OP of this thread. Bookmark it and check it out once in awhile in case for updates. I posted a request to have a thread called "Root Status" and the OP of the following thread chimed in and volunteered to keep the OP updated with root information. Not EXACTLY what I wanted, but I guess it works. I was looking for something in the topic title called Root Status, and something that was pinned/stickied AND locked just to have something more direct, since people's attention spans/patience are so short anyway.

Two posts, yes…. But don't but do not underestimate me. Im a 14 year IT manager with a very large wireless company. I do, however, stand corrected and in no way did I mean any disrespect. Boards are here to help one another, not bash them. But I stay firm on people reading the entire post! Questions most always answer themselves if WE all just slow down and read.

And it is TEMPORARY, and KitKat is required. The root will not survive a full reboot.

Dude, really? Dump Verizon? The most powerful network out? See your Note 4 and get another phone...The Note 4 is one of the best phones out. If you want root NOW, well, it's not happening. Get the LG G3...easy flashing , full root , the works..
But to say go back to AT&T due to rooting?

Sell your retail note 4 and get a developer edition. Then you can have note, root, and verizon

Admin shut down the developer thread saying that root has been achieved....."Thread closed since no one can read and root was achieved"
So I apologize if the title is a little too long but I just wanted to let everybody know if are like me and you wanted to get on the new beta for Android 10 but you don't have an unlocked or way to unlock your phone I am here to tell you that there is indeed a way.
the nice thing is that this does not trip Knox in anyway. It also does not void your warranty so if you are interested and you don't understand some of the posts in the flashing sections or you're too afraid because you don't want to mess anything up let me know.
I would post how to do it on here but I don't want to post something that people have already figured out I was just stating that for me as an autistic guy who had a little bit of trouble understanding the flashing guides I'm telling you that after about six hours of reading and messing with my phone and also having high anxiety because I did not want to screw it up in any sort of way...
The proof is in the screenshots like I said if you want to know how to do it, comments on this post and I will make a YouTube video showing how to do it that way it's easy for anybody to follow.
I also want to add that none of the bugs are present in the build I'm using now... My games seem a lot faster my speech-to-text seems a lot more correct and honestly I'm really glad I tried this...
im not sure i follow... can't anyone do this now without any kind of hacking? i literally just got the s10+ today (us unlocked version). it took me only minutes to register for the beta program and then download the update ota. im on ui2 and android 10 now.
Link the video? Good for Verizon users???

I find it interesting you are willing to post a bunch of paragraphs about what you did but refuse to post how? I've been on these forums a long time and if you can't say how you did it, why would we want to hear you did?
