difference between android development and original development is simple. android development is roms basically with a slap on theme on it and original is well original.
read this thread here for better explanation between the two
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175660
as regarding unlocking bootloaders you do not have to as it is already unlocked..all you have to do is flash a cf-root kernel from chainfires thread.
here are links to help you better

above link is the chainfire thread to root and the bottom link read that first to get a better feel of rooting

[Q] A little help please

Okay, I got my SGS2 a few days ago and have done CF root, but I am a little confused in regards to the different kernals.
Mine has the KE2 but what would happen if I used a different one like KF1?
Would just like to clear that up as I would like to try and flash a different rom and there doesn't seem to be that many that work with the KE2?
Would it hurt to flash a new rom that was designed for the KF1?
Cheers for any help in advance.
Pete
PS Sorry guys I just posted this in the wrong place. will re-post in the Q&A Section
Just flash the rom your going to use and follow the roms guidelines reffering to kernals..
If its a kf1 rom use kf1 kernal..just so everything is running good.

This is in the Q & A section. I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm being ****, but I was only asking for a suggestion as in "has someone used a rom that they think is good and works well?"
Cant people ask a question anymore without someone jumping down they're throat.

because the answer is in the thread
Plus this forum is full of lazy bastards who wont read page one wont search and expect others to spoon-feed them .
How the f&&& should i know the answer i would find the answer by reading the bloody instructions . Am i supposed to do that then post those instructions for him .
Thats compounded by self righteous fxxx that have no interest a=in anything but their own ego .We really need a kindergarten section .
Yes i am peed of with posters like you and incompetents like the original poster makes trying to help the genuine users a why the fxx should i bother .
Dont bother with your small minded reply you can answer the helps from now on you are promoted i retire defeated .
jje
Gz for being ignorant...seriously...its so hard to give him a short answer instead of posting the whole thread etc...
It would be easier for you and for him if you just gave him a short reply...gosh
this section is already for questions
You search for the thread and link him to it...which was quite more work insteadt of saying "yes you can flash it via odin"
When I first started I had to learn everything by following instructions... To the letter. If I hadn't, I would have bricked my phone.
Just read the goddamn threads first... ****.

How do I get this? How do I flash this with odin? What do I tick in odin? PDA, phone? Why cant I flash speedmod in cwm?
...
JJE posted the thread and instructions. Above is something a newb not all newbs but some probably would of asked if you just answered yes. They hear words like odin, flash, etc etc without knowing how to use it and such.
However OP sounds as though he may know how to do this and just wanting clarification in which case yes would be enough. But if OP knew what speedmod kernel is then OP should have known the answer if they had read that thread.

Stop trolling this thread...as you can read from the OP you can see he already have flash knowledge cause he already flash the cf-root.. so why you treat him like a total noob..instead of saying yes..stop trolling
so epic how you ppl can be trolling someone...if you are annoyed by noobs then stop reading in the FAQ section....

- use *#1234# to confirm if your device is the original galaxy SII.
- Rooting instructions on that thread is old, you will sure find better threads. Just search.

Your first problem is, you can't read or follow simple instructions.
Goto the thread link in my previous post, go to the first page and follow the instructions carefully
You don't need root to do what you are looking for.
Good luck

Hes basically wanting spoon fed.He abandoned his first thread,and a guy kindly offered to help him via pm in his second thread(god knows if he took up the offer).
Looks like he wants step by step instructions on how to use odin also.

Many people have spent a lot of time creating tutorials for beginners like you. Please search the forum for your answer. And yes, flashing a custom rom voids your warranty, but you can always return to the stock software.

(1) for backups etc. have a look in the stickies and FAQ thread of the Q&A section, all included in the how-tos
(2) should you update? decide for yourself...if you cannot live without "these features" I guess you have no other choice
(3) is it safe? nothing is 100% safe

Agree and that is due to multiple guides posted all over the place and often repeating those that are stickied .Its a fact of questions and other junk posted in General section cluttering up and hiding the guides .
But as 99% refuse to even start by reading post one why put any effort in to make it more accessible .
In my view we should have one section with Q&A including all general topics . Plus one locked section for guides and faqs with new posts at the discretion of the mods only .

That's a really good idea. Unfortunately it would need to be a site wide change, which would be hard to get admin buy in for. They could perhaps have a "lesser" mod, like a guide admin user base that could manage that for each device, because they would need to understand teh guides and if they were accurate or not anyway.
You should suggest it

That's actually a great idea indeed, you got my vote .
The only challenge will be then, and I guess it is valid not only for XDA but also in real life, how to get people to read first and not go the "easy" way of posting/asking the same old question.
Nevertheless a guide/faq section would be a good start.

That isn't totally true, im on 4.2.2 custom for 3 weeks now and can't say it's less stable than 4.1.2
Rooting always voids your warranty, it means it's on your own risk. Sometimes when you soft-brick your phone you can go back to stock, for what i've read.
