I can confirm this worked on my GS2 running stock KG5 and it took 3mins max
Installed Orbot and Pandora right after (to play pandora outside the US) and it worked like a charm.
I also loved the starcraft references.
Thanks for posting it here, I would've probably missed it otherwise.
Now I wonder if it would work on my N1
Edit: It took literally 35secs to root my N1 running 2.3.6 oO
Worked fine on my SGS2 2.3.3
How does this effect warranty, as you are no longer flashing any kernels or firmware if you are using a stock firmware?
I assume you will not need a jig any more after rooting either.
To late for me as I have already routed, but it would be interesting to know for future rooting.

this worked great on a 2.3.5 stock SGS2
Hang on, so I don't have to go through all the kernals Odin stuff to root, and I can just run this script on a stock S2 to root it?!?!
Thanx for the program. This works great.

you might check the link i post on doomlord method, he has included a unrooting scrip,, as for warranty i think you should be fine, i think you might not lost warranty once you run unrooting scrip,,, since it suppose to bring back your phone as it was before routing whit out the annoying issue of flashing the stock ROM you need...
Great! It worked like a charm! Not intending to Custom Rom just yet, removed all the system bloatware + carrier/samsung apps, ran SetCPU and reinstalled my JuiceDefender Ultimate!
Now the overnight battery drain is gone, 100% at 12AM, 95% at 6.30AM. My JuiceDefender is set to advanced settings though, with Data turned off on lock/unlock only activating once in 30 Minutes to check for data and to trigger on when certain apps are launched!
Can anyone enlighten me if Cyanogen's Stable Rom will increase my battery life and work as well as stock in terms of app friendliness and usability?

So since as if we have already been abandoned by the Gingerbreak Project, what can you guys recommend to root my R800i without removing the ability to update the phone to higher Android in the coming months?
So you see I am really new to Android and I have little knowledge on unlocking bootloaders and the like that's why I stuck to Gingerbreak last month. Now that I have updated to 2.3.3, yeah everybody knows Gingerbreak no longer works.
I cannot consider reverting back to 2.3.2 since the 2.3.3 update really improved the battery performance and I'd still choose that over the ability to root on the 2.3.2. But then, bottom line is we really love our phones rooted.
So to cut the crap, anyone please recommend the best method to root the R800i (I would be open for tutorials) whilst preserving our ability to update to better versions in the future?
Ive not rooted or unlocked the boot loader yet myself as this is my first android device im taking it slowly but according to threads in the development section you can root and upgrade as long as you do nothing to the device before upgrading, root the phone then upgrade to 2.3.3
This means flashing backwards first obviously.
As far as upgrading in the future you will be better off flashing a custom rom if development goes well. Custom roms will take this device further than official updates will.

See here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116090. Follow the steps and you shall have root on 2.3.3 . I have also opted to "freeze" the bloat this time instead of just uninstalling it, in hopes that when 2.3.4 arrives i can do the ota update again and still keep root.
Also @ -josh- rooting will not damage your phone so its safe to root. I am also a first time android user myself but following the steps in the thread above worked fine no problems. And even if it didnt you can use SEUS to fix a phone with a locked bootloader
I rooted my phone when i was using 2.3.2 and found a good improvement.
Then i updated to an unrooted 2.3.3.
Ive left it unrooted for now. 2.3.3 performance is better than a rooted 2.3.2 i find.
It would be nice to root and remove the bloatwarw and overclock to 1.5 ghz, which can now be done. But for now i am happy.
Aside from a few Gameloft games not working, 2.3.3 is outstanding.
Not going to root until something major happens. Only reason i can see to root is to clock to 1.5 ghz to get n64oid working better.
Other than that, no point imo.
i have already tried the 2.3.2 root then flash to 2.3.3 method to no avail.. i don't know what im doing wrong but i think it's because my handset's a HK one, had it bought by someone in HK then i am using it here in the philippines. i'm not considering flashing custom roms either since i can't trust others' hands playing around roms, hehehe.. sigh!
You can are not supposed to flash to 2.3.3.. You are supposed to flash your phone to 2.3.2 uk generic version. After root your phone and through your phone you go to settings /about/update software and upgrade it there without hooking it to the computer. Make sure that your bootloader is LOCKED, otherwise you brick your phone.

Unfortunately it didnt work for me. I only have one game in the list which was Asphalt 6.
Ive bought about half of them so there should be plenty more in the list but they are not there.
Ive emailed customer service. Not really that bothered if i get them back or not but i wanted to play Sacred Odessy again. It stopped working when i updated to 2.3.3.
Nevermind.
Don't email them. Call them. Email takes more then a week for each reply. Calling us 10 minutes wait

sheise. i've been on 2.3.3 unrooted for weeks now and i'm sick of the bloatware... flashing a 2.3.2 UK generic ROM via FlashTool gives back an error that's why i stuck to 2.3.3 unrooted..
EDIT:
oh well, the root-the-2.3.2-then-update-to-2.3.3-via-OTA method suddenly worked today.. sheise!

It's better if you choose to erase personal files.. It's an option that you check off before flash. That being said, nothing on your sd card gets touched.

so everyone still uses FlashTool? it gives me back an error so i used WotanClient. Worked like a charm! I'm now on 2.3.3 UK Generic ROOTED! and works like anything else here in the philippines!

Use my guide but with an appropriate firmware from samfirmware.
Not a hell lot you can do about the download speed. I suspect it might have something to do with hotfile - I get incredibly ****ty speed from hotfile, but not from any other file sharing service.
There should be a few threads lying around in the general section about stock roms. Try downloading from there instead of ****ty hotfile.

Before you flash anything you gotta make sure you have 2 backup plans. One is, of course, the nandroid backup. The other is having a stock firmware file you can flash with Odin in case everything goes to hell.
In my case, I have a JPU stock firmware stored on my home computer and on my work laptop. Every time I screw up so badly everything is FUBAR I go back to JPU and works like a charm.
Ah also, along with the JPU I have a CF-Root flashable file for JPU (just needs to be Froyo specific, not firmware release specific) so I can have root.
That's the only advice that hasn't been given to you already.
In reality, the Galaxy S is pretty hard to really brick. The bootloader may get corrupted but there's almost always a way out.
ok thanks guys +1
i will flash my phone with 2.3 and when I'am bored with it i'll flash it with some custom rom

Hi, im newbie and was gathering info from this execellent forum about root, flash kernel, custom recovery, flashing rom.. so i think there is most easy way for someone like me who is totally new to this, and i want to share it.
Step 1: ROOT, Download DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit connect phone to PC and click RUNME.BAT
Step 2: KERNEL, download DarkyOTA from Android Market, then select OTA > kernels, download and install kernel.
That's it you now have root and cwm recovery, ready to do nandroid backup and install custom roms.
First step is to backup your phone before you will test anything. When phone is off hold home+volUP+Power you will get into CWM Recovery and Choose Backup/Restore > Backup
PS: Make sure you have setup debug mode and checked unknow sources in your phone settings in step 1
Hope it helps to someone :>
Yes nice I did the same.
But be aware that "DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit" only works with 2.3.5 and not stock 2.3.6 (Mexico and Holland have got it).
Samsung have closed this easy way to root
Thanks for telling us, didn't know this im 2.3.5 lucky

I removed root and went back to stock a couple of weeks ago getting ready for the ICS update. I have not reset my device and updated to ICS. Can I now root using the same method I used before. I used the Brk root toolkit and it worked great for rooting and unrooting.
If I cannot use that is there something new I should use?

Unlock Root Tools is a android root tool. Supports the Android 2.1,2.2 and 2.3Easy way to get root access Permissions！
the software can be found at : LINKS REMOVED
Try at your own risk but It worked like a charm for my SGS2,
How to Root Your SGS2:
To Root your phone you will have to download Unlock Roottool from the unlockroot.com. and install
1) Your device must be in USB Debugging mode.
2) If you have not installed Android SDK Driver , install it after installing the tool : Start Menu -> Programs -> Unlock root -> Install Driver
3) Connect your device to your PC, Run UnlockRoot.exe
4) Click “Unlock Root”, Enjoy
I did not test the "unroot" option of this tool yet.
Thanks
So rather than use CFRoot which takes all of two minutes, I run an exe in debug mode from a source that I have absolutely no idea about the credentials of ?
No thanks.
Not the simplest method is it at all .

Errrrrrrr no thanks!

OK then I will remove the words "easiest and symplest"
No doubt CF-Root is the best and simplest for those who already started using the Odin.
CF Root method :
1) Get into Download mode
2) Open ODIN, select the file
3) Connect phone and select start
4) Done in under 30 secs
Much easier than this "unlockroot" method...
This may not be the easiest way to get root for us.
But for somebody who doesn't know what odin is, Windows user who doesn't even know there is a download and recovery mode on their phones.
Or for someone who doesn't want to mess up with jigs and flash counters.
For them, this could be the easiest way to root and unroot their phones.
That people will find this usefull, others should shut up.
