[Q] Latest, Greatest root method for Galaxy II?

---

Ok so I'm a total noob to the Galaxy II and I'm wondering what's the best latest method (manual or auto) to root these phones and what precautions should I take, or any other steps you recommend. I've rooted several HTC's but haven't been following the Samsung world so any links and pointers are much appreciated!

Thanx,
SB

CF Root is the most popular method.

Precautions; There are many, but important to backup you're EFS folder. This is where you're IMEI is stored, and has a small potential for corruption during flashing process of firmware.

There are a few methods of EFS backup around, Hellcat app for one. You will need root first, and give Superuser permission when requested.

Have a dig around the forum, but suggest to do this before flashing custom ROMs.

Also, take note of your product number, so you know what original firmware to download and flash if you have to return for warranty. There is a code to dial to get it, can't quite remember, just google for it. If not, use the CWM recovery to make a nan-backup of you're system first. Edit: Should be on the box though.

Hope I've helped :)
