I rooted my Galaxy S2 just now (using this method / The easy root method on galaxys2root.com).
I didn’t install the ClockworkMod Recovery as in the further video on galaxys2root.com as a lot of comments from people were saying that it bricked their phone!!! So I installed ROM MANAGER from the Market (Google Play) and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery from within the ROM Manager app.
When I then did 'reboot into recovery' I got this screen come up... (not my actual screenshot by the way, but I get the same error messages coming up) as it was trying to run the UPDATE.ZIP file.

It also won't let me flash CM9 or any other ROM as it comes up with the same message
What am I doing wrong here? It seems to also say Android System Recovery at the top rather than ClockworkMod Recovery :?
Install cfroot kernel..dats much better..
Just checking now... Thanks
Flash the tar file of cf root or any other custom kernels via Odin, you will get back cwm
#*posted on the move *#
Using the easy zergrush method only gives root and superuser, nothing more.
It doesn't include clockworkmod as zedomax mentioned, but he did make another guide on how to flash clockworkmod.
I tried to flash it via clockworkmod too, but it doesn't seem to work with this method for some reason I although I haven't used it, I think cf-root would be better.

I am currently running cyanogenMod 7.1 fxp 044 in my X10i, and have problems to upgrade to fxp 047. This is what I have done:
I downloaded the fxp 047 package and put the update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-es209ra-KANG-signed.zip in sdcard.
then I booted the phone into xrecovery mode, select install custom zip form sdcard
and I got error messege saying that installation aborted with a long string of code ended with "error in...zip (status 7)".
I though the problem may be the locked bootloader, so I followed the post by 9Lukas5, but I got stuck already at step 2! After I downgraded the kernel, I plugged in the phone to the computer, but the flashtool kept saying the phone didnt turn on the usb debugging mode, although the debugging is ON already...
any idea? Any Help is appreciated!
The phone info is listed below:

thank you for your answer
but why cwm recovery? is Xrecovery not compatible with cyanogenMod rom?
I think all the new cyanogenmod developments are happening under CWM recovery only. Not sure about the xrecovery rom though. But I guess CWM offer better options. As we can directly reboot to recovery!

Choose your rom , stock or another jb variation like cm10
Download it save it on your phone normally comes a .zip format
Download odin

Download cf root to give you root and recovery(cwm)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
Follow instructions of installing ( via a pc)
So now your phone has root plus a custom recovery if you press the 3 BUTTON combo of power+home+vol down it should boot into cwm based recovery 5.5.04 cf 1.5
Now once your in recovery you can "install zip from sd card "
Choose zip from internal
Select your zip you downloaded
And then yes.
Wait ~ till finished installing then "reboot system now"
Jb running on new phone .
Most custom roms come pre rooted , stock roms do not so will have to flash cf root again.
i miss anything ?
Custom boot animations require custom kernels which allow it . I use siyah but it is not compatible with jb.
Then scroll down to page where it says "need help installing custom boot animation" in themes and apps

Simple Steps to Root Without PC and Without loss of Stock Kernel
Removed.. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello,
Simple way to root and unroot stock kernel without flashing insecure kernel.
Don't worry about custom counter and yellow triangle, with this method they never appear, because we only rooting, it's a rooting script not a custom kernel.
This rooting script included Busybox installer.
Rooting :
Download this File first and put in your SDCARD
- CWM via stock recovery or download zip
- SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
Reboot to recovery.
Choose apply update from external storage.
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
Choose install zip from sdcard or external SD
Choose and Install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
Reboot
You are done and now your device is Rooted
Unroot :
Download this File first and put in your SDCARD
- CWM via stock recovery or download zip
- SU-Uninstaller-Signed.zip
Reboot to recovery.
Choose apply update from external storage.
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
Choose install zip from sdcard
Choose and Install SU-Uninstaller-Signed.zip
Reboot
You are done and now your device is Unrooted
Tested on latest stock Galaxy S II ICS rom.
Tested on latest Galaxy Note by some user (thanks for report)
Note: This method should work for other device with ICS rom, check CWM that compatible for your device.
You can download all the zip files from this thread. ROOT/UNROOT ZIP Files
Thanks,

Ah, so you're the one who doesn't care about the xda-rules and allow this kind of questions here by answering them (although this is way more than what OP asked).

I have S2 (AT&T) i777 and custom ROM is already installed on it AOKP. (Please see the screenshot attached)
I came across this rom for S2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2407458
Can I simply install this ROM on my phone ? any problem in going from AOKP to AOSP ? Do I need to do anything before doing this ? any kernel etc ?
As mentioned in the instructions in the thread of aosp super nexus rom:
Instructions
First time installing SuperNexus 3.0 to your device, or coming from another ROM:
- Copy Google Apps and SuperNexus ROM into your internal SD Card
- Boot into Recovery (Volume up + Home + Power)
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
- Flash SuperNexus ROM
- Flash Google Apps' package
- Reboot your device
That's all I need to do ? I don't need to install any other thing on my phone ? any kernel etc ?

Update:
I tried installing the rom in recovery mode but it gave a bunch of errors.
I starting installing based on the assumption that I don't need to install any kernel ? please correct me if I need any kernel or any prerequisite in order to install supernexus ROM ?
Please direct me in a right direction.
What errors did it give ?? And did u follow the install instructions completely ?

If it started throwing assert errors, then it could be due to outdated recovery. If that's the case, then please update your recovery, or try a different one. For example I was using Philz touch cwm recovery, and I was unable to install aocp. Once I switched to the non-touch cwm recovery, it installed successfully.
hi i managed to update my tab to the latest firmware 4.0.4 . Previously it was already rooted and TWRP installed. I was thinking of rooting and backing up this build so from romtoolbox i boot into recovery mode (thinking that i will be seeing TWRP) But when boot i was shown the folllowing picture

since all of my buttons are not working (hence the reason installing TWRP ) i was ok fine lets reboot it via adb. therefore i run adb reboot and yet it still boots back to the same screen . Thinking i need to reverting all of the changes via odin i tried reboot download also does not work. reboot-bootloader also does not work. apprently i am stuck at this screen.
Right now i only have access to adb and is there any way i can recover from this?
many thanks again
I'm assuming you were running some kind of custom rom with TWRP as your recovery before going to stock ICS. Essentially, flashing stock ICS overwrote the old TWRP.
To fix it, flash in TWRP again (its somewhere in the development section) via Odin.
EDIT: If you can't access download mode... Try push the TWRP .tar file via ADB

the thing is i only root and installed twrp for the sake of backing up since my daughter loves to install application. I've read about pushing / Installing application but that would requires root right? this is my command console like
Right now is there a way to force it to boot into download because thats the only way i see i can fix it (without using physical buttons)
Again many thanks for replying.
