You probably flashed an incompatible kernel. Make sure that you know what build you're on and then flash the corresponding recommended kernel or stock kernel for the build you're on. After flashing a compatible kernel you should boot right up and you'll be rooted.

fingers crossedEdit: Still on startup screen showing Samsung galaxy s2 for about 10 minutes not sure what "normal" reboot time is
Edit: finally flashed the third kernal and it booted right up - Thanks

If you followed the steps as directed then you've done nothing to your phone. You can restart it and you'll be running as if nothing had happened.
I am confused though. Did you try to flash the one-click through Odin? The one-click negates the need to use Odin...
idk I just wanted to update to android 4.2.2 that has everything working and then give it super user and root, and also make a back up of my original.
but im a total noob with android Iand I realy don't want to brick my brand new phone. because I have no warinty or anything
I just got the phone yesterday new running android 4.1.2 official Samsung, I realy hate the sprint boot logo to because its on boost network anyway.
maybe you can help/?

I'm going to say this as nicely as possible but I think you should slow down. The E4GT is notorious for the ways it can be bricked. It's not a normal device and has a lot of little quirks. You should really read up a lot before even attempting root.
In this case you're dealing with three different issues. Currently the only available 4.2.2 ROM are AOSP based and have a few issues.
The other issues are root access and your ROM base. Both can be fixed easily by going to the Stock ROM Repo thread stickied in development and downloading the latest rooted Boost build and flashing it. Follow the instructions in post #2 on how to flash a one-click and you'll do fine.
Lastly, there is a really good thread for both reading and questions at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1953783
Good luck!
Do you think that 4.2.2 rom will be officialy be avalible for the phone if I just wait.

Samsung has said 4.2 would be. That was a long time ago though... Due to bugs in 4.2 I believe that if we do get 4.2 they will probably go straight to 4.2.1. Beyond that I think we won't see many updates.
I know this is probly rthe wrong section to ask but I seem to be having a problem with menu button on the left side the settings menu keeps poping up even when the phone is just sitting on the desk. I think the phone is defective. im thinking the touch is to sencitive or something is there a way I can disable that button?
This does not work for me. I use root checker after a seemingly successful root and it isnt rooted

Would you be able to provide us with some more detail? This method has worked for thousands of users multiple times. If you can provide us with detailed information we should be able to help you troubleshoot it.
All i know to say is that I have a Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SPH-D710 and i tried the Jellybean because i am version 4.1.2, and like i said it seemed like it worked, but im not rooted. I dont know what other details i could miss because i dont know what im doing.

Sorry. Didn't realize you were that new.
OP = Opening Post (beginning post in the thread)
Honestly it can't be any more broken down or easy than it is in the OP.
If you're struggling with it I would recommend doing some more reading and research before you proceed. This device is very easy to brick and not knowing what you're doing can lead to an expensive paperweight in no time at all.
Looks to me exe.Agat GB failed bc it's for Gingerbread . You have 4.1.2 Jellybean you should be using one that's for your version of Android.
Mine had 4.0.4 Icecream sandwich so I had to use the one for ICS.

20I was recently asked to post some threads here on XDA with the tutorials I have on my site. As time permits I will be posting a series of threads here to the Q&A section that will hopefully answer most questions that might come up.
If you can't find your answer in one of my threads I would highly recommend BluesRulez One Stop FAQ Thread. It is an awesome resource and has answers to just about every question I've seen come up!

This thread details the process of how to root your device without having to flash a full stock ROM. This method works for the Sprint, Boost and Virgin Samsung Galaxy S2 (SPH-D710, SPH-D710BST and SPH-D710VMUB).
This method uses an Odin One-Click Kernel to install a kernel that includes a Custom Recovery. Once booted into the Custom Recovery you can then flash Superuser which will root your phone and give you Superuser access.
Prerequisites:- A PC running Windows with the Samsung Mobile Drivers Installed. The Samsung Mobile Drivers are available here.
- Any One-Click Kernel (preferably from the Android version you will be using, i.e. GB, ICS or JB).
All Sprint One-Click Recovery kernels can be found here.
For this particular tutorial I used the following kernels:
Gingerbread: Chris41g's EL26 Stock CWM5 Repack
Ice Cream Sandwich: Agat63's tFI27 Stock Recovery Repack (rev 2)
Jelly Bean: Agat63's Source-Built GB27 Recovery
- Superuser (or SuperSU, MIUI Security, and etc) in a flashable zip, saved on your Internal or External SD Card. For this method I used SuperSU v1.25 (but any SU in a flashable ZIP should work). You can download several different versions here.
- Although not required it is recommended that you have Samsung Kies installed on your PC as well. You can download Samsung Kies here.
Side-Effects:- This method will trigger the Yellow Triangle upon start-up and will increase your Odin count.
- It will also change your startup screen to look like the International GS2 startup screen.
Both of these side-effects are very easy to overcome due to the hard work of Chainfire and Garwynn. You can get TriangleAway from Chainfire's thread here.
Enjoy!3
