Rooting is the Android version
of jailbreaking your mobile device. This article will teach you to
root your Samsung Galaxy S2 running Jelly Bean (4.1.1 and 4.1.2). Be extra
careful when downloading ROMs
—be sure they are specifically for your version of
Galaxy S2, or you risk bricking your PHONE.
Turn off
your phone. Then,
hold down Volume Down, Center Home, and Power. Continue holding until you see a
warning screen (about 3 seconds).
Hit
Volume Up. Then, connect your Galaxy S2 to
your computer.
Download
the Jeboo Kernel and ODIN package. Unzip the ODIN files, but leave the kernel file
as a .tar.
Double
click ODIN3v1.85.exe. This will run the program.
You should then see a yellow highlighted box with COM and a number in it.
Hit the
"PDA" button. This should be in
the checklist below the start button.
Choose
the Jeboo Kernel.tar file you just downloaded.
Hit
"Start." The kernel should start
flashing. Wait until you see the word "PASS!", then let your Galaxy
S2 restart.
Download Superuser Zip
file. If you can, download it straight to
your PHONE. Otherwise, you can copy it over from your computer.
Turn off
your phone. Hold Volume Up, Center Home,
and Power until your phone goes into CWM Recovery (about 20 seconds).
Choose
"Install Zip." It should be the second
option on the list.
Click
"Choose zip from Internal sdcard." If
you're transferring the zip over from your computer, choose "Choose zip
from sdcard."
Find the
Superuser file. You'll most likely find it
in your downloads folder.
Choose
"CWM-SuperSU-v0.00.zip". This will
install su binary and Superuser to your galazy S2.
Confirm
by clicking "Yes" when prompted.
Reboot. You'll find an app called
SuperSU. The first time you use it, you'll have to grant permission via a popup
window. Then, you'll be good to go. Enjoy your newly rooted PHONE!
This is all guys. I shall upload
how to root other phones soon.
—be sure they are specifically for your version of Galaxy S2, or you risk bricking your PHONE.
