Looks great, here are a few things that can be done:

-Remove the other rooting methods other than the CF method (some people root using other methods and then wonder how to get CWM)
-Remove the accessories section, now many places sell the S2 stuff and we don't have to rely that much online. Plus, there is always google which can give much newer and more varied answers
-Add a comparison between the i9100 and the i9100g : like this , and explain that some of the stock ROM problems of the G can be overcome with custom ROM's
-Put links to the Official ROM's and the CF thread for both G and non-G and make clear that the 'g' versions must use a different set of files
-And this is the most important : Warn all new visitors of the parasite that lurks amongst us

Anyone who feels differently please say, these are just my suggestions  tongue.gif

Thanks for your suggestions smile.gif antt00 or any non g version users, can link me to the xda CF root method? I use a g version so I only know how to root a g version doh.gif

Laptopdude, antt00, could you please write a short tutorial on how to root the non G variant?

I looked at the link and I wasn't sure which to include and not too, once again I apologize for being a total noob in this aspect of the phone as I don't even own the variant for that phone xD

I have wrote a beginning paragraph for the rooting process :

Please backup your apps using Titanium Backup as said in the previous Post before proceding to root your phone, We will be using your the CFRoot Kernel method as it is the easiest and comes with ClockWorkMod, which is an essential if you plan to flash a custom Rom or any other packages.

Here's my version of ashwin's tutorial smile.gif


-Download Odin and the correct CF-root zip file according to your firmware. To check, go to settings, about phone, scroll to the bottom. Look at baseband version, remember the last 3 letters, so let's say its XXKL1, then download the KL1 CF Root file.
-extract both
-Open Odin. Once its open, don't touch any other settings, leave it the way as it is. Press the PDA button, and select the cf root .tar file
-Put phone into Download mode. To enter download mode, power off the phone, then press the volume down+home+power button at the same time. Once you see the GT-I9100, let go of all 3 buttons. The phone will display "warning" and some text. Press volume up button to continue. Your phone should show an android icon and "downloading" text. This means you are in download mode now.
-Connect the phone to your PC. At the top left hand corner of Odin, there should be a yellow bar. If it does show that, it means Odin has successfully detected your phone. Click start, and let Odin do the magic.
-Once it says done, your phone should boot up. Your phone has now been rooted. To double check, if you see an app called "superuser" in your app drawer, it means you're rooted.

-If it hangs at flashing, remove battery and repeat steps 4 to 6
This is my newbie proof guide, even for the most newbie of newbies smile.gif
