So in the 5 hours between posting your question and bumbing your thread, you didn't manage to find out what a custom ROM is and how to install it?
Try the stickies, for example, [REF] Guide to the Galaxy S II and Android (04/10/11) which links to [REF] ROM, Kernel, Kitchen & Modem List - Galaxy S II (22/10/11).

I was just wondering how I could root a Bell Samsung Galaxy S II.
I've read some threads but I don't have any idea what they're talking about, so I was wondering if anyone could simplify it for me so that I can understand.
Thank you!
I personally use latest Speedmod, depending on the firmware you're running you can also use the specific ChainFire kernel as well.

If I used this method to root, would I still be able to install custom roms?

Yes you will be able to run custom roms. Generally speaking nothing is permanent on these phones. A kernel sits a layer below the ROM but most roms will also install their own kernel.
I'm sorry for bumping this thread, but I thought it'd be better to bump this one, rather then creating a new thread about my question.
I was wondering what the method is of reversing the rooting on the SGS II Bell.
Hi I am not sure about what kernel to use on SG2 - BVKJ4.
I am new to the rooting process and wanna make sure i get it right.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks in advance.

The easy way is to flash a custom ROM via Odin.
Try Litenin ROM it'll get rid of all the Orange crap they have put in to your phone
Thats some nice original development you got going on there
Reported.
Q&A is this way

as i told you in the other thread. just flash hardcore's kernel via Odin and you should be good to go.
So, I'm new on Android and I'm trying to have my Galaxy S2 Rooted. The problem is that I have searched for the corresponding Kernel for my phone and I haven't found it, Mine is: 3.0. 15-I9100UHLPQ-CL672935.
I don't know if I can use any kernel, but I would like some help here.
Thanks!

Posting this question in the Galaxy S II Q&A forum would probably get better answers than posting it in the About XDA-developers.com General forum. I have requested that a mod move this thread to that forum.

Search for the CF-root thread, your kernel is there.

You don't need any kernel, this is a much simpler method:

Sammobile has the firmwares, odin files and flash guides for most samsung galaxy phones.
Also, it woild be better if you browse trough your device's forum. This forum is more on par with general android ramble, not so much with device specific questions.
