worked PERFECTLY! thank you!!!

At first I overlooked that I needed to both uncheck and then recheck the USB debugging before plugging back in at #6. Once I overcame my own bafoonery, the rooting process finished without a flaw.

Great work and thanks for sharing.

Does it need to be Odin 1.82? I'm finding a 1.85 in another GS2 forum.

I used 1.83. no probs that I can tell

I have been doing a lot of reading about rooting and what not and have been trying to research it as much as I can.

How would I root and keep the stock rom? I don't want anything changed, I just simply want the root access. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

I've also now got an annoying big yellow exclamation point on boot. It doesn't really impede anything, but it is... absolutely infuriating how it stares at me with its yellowness.. It really isn't a big deal, though.

I'm going to try to reflash a third time, though, maybe it will solve itself.

For your yellow triangle issue just get or make a USB jig. It will reset your counter zero. You can get one on Amazon, Ebay, our xda market forum. Or you can get diy instructions just google "diy USB jig".

Did all of you get the yellow triangle at boot? It works great though. I was just curious. Thanks

All this does is adds cwm and root. The stock experience is still in tact.

Yeah, I'm wondering if there is a fix besides using the usb jig like the galaxy s2s on other networks..
