Thank you for all the help guys. That was very simple and painless. Nice job on getting a walk through set up so quickly.
I agree. I'm impressed with how fast development is rolling along with this being day one. So far I'm much happier than I was with my cappy. Now if only I could get cm7 to work :(

Just upgraded from a Cappy to a GS2 and was looking for a good root method. This was very simple and the instructions were clear. Thanks! Now all I need is a GS2 version of Talon and Apex!

So I did everything correct and at number 6 phone froze where at some ponit I had to pull battery.

Now all I get is soft reboots and phone freezing. I get the yellow triangle and I can get into recovery but can't do anything else while in recovery.

Any ideas?

This is at the bottom if my post. If you pulled your battery you should have read completely. Made the red letters larger on the front page to hopefully make sure you read that part.


It will hang up at #6 when it does this unplug your phone go into settings uncheck and check usb debugging again then plug back in. At this point it will continue with the root. It will send a test to your phone and you may or may not have to click allow for Superuser.

I did read the stuff in red.
Did the uncheck and recheck debug. Possibly screwed up when I pulled the battery???

What can I do at this point?
Thanks for help in advance. :)
Tried the superOneClick and here's what I get:

Is there a way to return to stock yet?? I want to root, but I have an Atrix and if this isn't worth the upgrade I'll probably be returning it to buy an iPhone 5 (just to Ebay!).
