Dear Harsha, Your efforts are really welcomed, however there are very detailed thread on how to Root GS2 (rather any ICS device).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794

It may be posted elsewhere, but to a noob like me coming across this info seems real helpful, so thanks for your effort. My galaxy S2 is bricked and i'm trying to recover data - will this wipe my data do you know? Perhaps I could save my data via clockwork mod before I flash it with ODIN (if the flashing wipes data that is)? Thanks again

It is very useful to me coz it's for i9100g..
All i see from the link above is only for i9100

When I try to flash the zips in stock recovery , I get a signature failure.

Hi, just starting out with rooting my phone so need a bit of help. When I try to use this root file on my i9100g with stock rom, ics 4.0.4, I get a E: Signature Verification Failed.
How do I get past this to install CWM Recovery?
Also, can I use this CWM to install other roms such as CM10
Can this be done though just CWM rather than go through Odin

Is this method permanent. What I mean is will this method make CWM the default recovery? Or will I get the same old stock 3e recovery and have to install zip every time I want CWM?

kindly give again the website of the firmware.. thankyou

Look at my grand prime original developers where I show to flash and from where to downloads firmware

You'd better download a firmware backup of your Handheld and install Odin in your PC in case there's something wrong happens in your device.

Try to enter download mode. HOME+VOLUME DOWN + POWER
Also when entering either recovery or download mode I find it helps to hold HOME+VOLUME UP and then press POWER.
If you can enter download mode but not recovery maybe your recovery is corrupt, reflash your firmware using ODIN

Well that literally happened to me and I fixed it by installing a custom recovery but its cuz of installing a wrong root version for android. U can flash a custom recovery and tell us.

www.sammobile.com/tag/galaxy-grand-prime - Download the correct firmware for your device.
Ensure all of the Samsung USB drivers have been installed on your computer.
Place your phone into download mode (Home+Volume Down+ Power)
Open ODIN on your computer (Version 3.10 works best for the Grand Prime, but the newest version would be optimal)
Plug your USB cable into your cellphone and into your computer.
ODIN will say *ADDED* in its text output.
Press AP or PDA (Depending on ODIN version)
Select your downloaded firmware packet (It is either a .md5 file or a .md5.tar)
Press start and ODIN will automatically flash your firmware for you.
ODIN will say *SUCCESS* if completed and will automatically restart your phone.
Wait until your phone boots.
That is how you flash firmware using ODIN. I hope it helps.
Please in future search these forums as there are a hundred different tutorials on flashing.

Corrupting your recovery is NOT an issue that would happen because of a bad flash of root files.
Flashing a custom recovery such as TWRP will NOT solve issues with root or any issues caused by flashing the wrong root file.
Firmware corruption caused by flashing an incorrect root file is only fixable by reflashing your firmware and starting from the begining, custom recovery has nothing to do with that.
TWRP makes it easier to fix the issue, but it is not itself a fix for the issue.
