will rooting using this method erase and reset every thing on my device back to factory default? or just root the device and leave everything I've already set up as is?
I am new to Samsung and Odin. Do i need to know anything in particular about using odin?
Thanks, in advance.

Anyone wants to help me with a little contribution to get this phone for development? I could trade my sensation for the sgsii plus like 100 dollars or i can sell my sensation to a friend for 350 and then with 100 more i could get the sgsii since i got a discount on tmobile and they will give me the phone for 441..... just in case you can click the donate button above my avatar...
Okay so can someone point me to where I can find Odin v1.8.4? Googling isn't bringing up any links for it? TIA
Ill give you $10. I'll do it after my paycheck get dded tonight or tomorrow morning. 9 more people?

If this [Q] has not yet been answered, then no - it does not reset anything.
The '/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script' code is simply:
Code:
ui_print("***********************************************");
ui_print(" Superuser 3.0.5 for Android 2.0-3.2");
ui_print("***********************************************");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
ui_print(" Mounting SYSTEM...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
set_progress(0.100000);
ui_print(" Deleting SYSTEM:bin/su...");
delete("/system/bin/su");
set_progress(0.200000);
ui_print(" Deleting SYSTEM:xbin/su...");
delete("/system/xbin/su");
set_progress(0.300000);
ui_print(" Extracting files to SYSTEM...");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_progress(0.400000);
ui_print(" Setting SYSTEM:bin/su permissions to 06755...");
set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/bin/su");
set_progress(0.500000);
ui_print(" Creating SYSTEM:xbin/su symbolic link...");
symlink("/system/bin/su", "/system/xbin/su");
set_progress(0.600000);
ui_print(" Unmounting SYSTEM...");
unmount("/system");
set_progress(0.900000);
ui_print("Install complete. Enjoy!");

You mind moving the credit to the top, and updating the OP to the new one. sdcard is throwing people off. Rootz is updated.
Thanks

230ROOT THE T-MOBILE SGSII
This Method will flash a recovery Image and then you can flash the superuser .zip file to root the phone.
This requires minor knowledge. But BE CAREFUL Because this can harm your phone!
First Things you need to have:
*You Need ODIN 1.8++(CLICK ME)
*The USB Drivers for Our SGSII
*Clockworkmod which you are going to flash via ODIN
*Superuser+Su files to flash thru clockworkmod later on!Code:md5sum - 8bf6802a84d85aa7da0c1976c0f129d1
*SDCARD installed for CWR
How to Root the phone...
*Before We get things rolling, Make sure the Phone is recognized by your PC.
*Put the Superuser .zip file on your internal SD
*Take the battery out and place it back
*Hold both Vol up + Vol down, and plug the USB cable in.
*On ODIN, Select the PDA button and browse to the recovery-cwm-hercules.tar
*Select Start and see the magic do its thing.
*It should flash the file to Recovery and reboot the phone.
*Take the battery out again and now boot into recovery
*Power off phone, unplug USB, Hold Both Vol up + Vol down and Hit power
*PERFORM NANDROID BACKUP FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY*
*Select Install zip from sdcard, choose the Superuser .zip and let it finish.
*Reboot!
*Now Lets delete some bloat ok? Be careful of what you delete!

Being basically a noob myself, I tried to put all the steps in. Hopefully I included everything for the less well- healed:

b.recovery-cwm-hercules.tar
http://goo-inside.me/hercules/clockworkmod/
c. superuser
http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip
2. Make sure windows recognizes your phone in ODIN by starting Odin and seeing that is shows <ID:0/004> Added!! In the message box.
3. Turn the phone off,
4. Turn the phone on by holding both the Vol up and Vol down buttons and plug the USB cable in.
5. Select volume up button
6. Start Odin
7. Select the PDA button in Odin and select the recovery-cwm-hercules.tar file
8. Select Start in Odin
9. It should flash the file to Recovery and reboot the phone.
10. After the phone has rebooted, select USB connected from your pull down screen on your phone and push the Connect USB storage button on the bottom.
11. Copy the Superuser zip file to the sdcard or internal memory
12. Reboot into recovery by doing the following:

c. Keep holding the Vol up and Vol down buttons until the Recovery screen comes up
13. * PERFORM NANDROID BACKUP * - This take a while to run
Menu button moves selection down;
Home button moves selection up;
Back button goes to the top; and,
Search button selects the choice you've made.
14. Select Install zip from sdcard or internal storage, choose the superuser zip file and push the Search button (enter)
15. It takes you to another screen, scroll down using the Menu button to the superuser zip file and push the Search button
