had my SGS2 for three weeks now and today I've decided to root it. touchwiz is so boring. my phone is now happily running MIUI.

uncle benny can you please add me to the users list. thanks.

kesian pakcik benny pon pening kena layan noobies. he is usually calm and cool.

to all users here, if you can read the title, it says to look for information on the first page of the thread, not the first page of the first thread of SGS2.

it is just a simple sentence and yet ppl cant understand. no wonder you got a lot of questions regarding the rooting process.

kalo translate instruction tu dalam bahasa melayu rasa rasa boleh paham tak?

dont treat this thread like a classroom, where teachers are paid to force feed you with knowledge. rather think this as the library, where you can ask the librarian to show you where to get the knowledge.

first, flash CF-root using odin. wait till reboot.

then flash stock kernel using odin. wait till reboot.

in your computer, extract the CF-root.tar using 7-zip and find the zImage.

copy the zImage into your sdcard.

find the CWM Manager app in your phone. the app is called CWM Manager. remember that.

start it and select flash kernel. find the zImage and flash.

wait till the phone reboot.

Agreed. MIUI launcher is quite awesome already

negative. tried shaking my phone and no sound of loose part can be heard. better get your phone checked.
