Rooting new GS2, do it now or wait to update?

[snipe2nite]

I just flashed it to get it rooted. Im on ICS now.

Don't even listen to those 2 foolz, they only wish they could be like you.... Enjoy your new phone!!!

Nicks right. But you'll be fine if u wanna try out stock ics. Just remember not to wipe data / factory reset with that kernel and.you're ggood to go. I installed it two days ago and ran it for a while. It worked fine but the battery drain was killing me. So I switched. Good luck, happy flashing.

I installed stock ICS and it's garbage... I've got the same battery drain and I get hard-lockups constantly.

I'm curious how you went about "switching" away from stock ICS? Can you point me at what you used to do so?

1. First thing read this thread you're on an unsafe kernel with possible eMMC SUPERBRICK BUG just make sure you don't wipe data/facotry reset with the kernel you have....

2. If you just want a stock Gingerbread firmware you can flash UCKH7 Stock from this link after you flash this then you can boot in to 3e recovery and wipe data/facotry reset safely.... If you want to flash custom ROMS in the future or want root then flash UCKH7 Stock + Root.. Just make sure you read and understand EVERYTHING before doing ANYTHING.... GL if you need more help just post it here
