How will that help him? He wants the phone only rooted.

Because flashing the Odin version of Siyah will give you a rooted phone w/CWM.

[Q] Rooting SGS2 GT-i9100

i've done some search in xda forums, but none helped, desire HD forums are much better... so i need help from someone to answer me some questions.
1) i have sgs2 GT-i9100 no i9100P or N or G or etc... i want to root it and i want it step by step if you will.
2) if i root my device can i update the software with automatic updates or i will need to flash the updates like flashing a new ROM?
3) Does ROM Manager work on sgs2 just like DHD?
thank you in advance and sorry for my not so good english

If you're going to use Rom Manager, do not use Clockwork Recovery. Rom Manager tends to break CW & can also cause bootloops. So you either use one or the other

Everything you need to know is in Stickies. If you're expecting easy/to be spoonfed it ain't gonna happen.
If you start messing with your phone before you understand what it is you're doing I can almost guarantee you'll soft brick your phone & potentially be without it for a day or two until you figure out how to fix it. And worse case you may hard brick it.
So...Start reading.
MistahBungle is totally right ...
But because I am/was a rookie to several days/weeks ago, i will help you as far as i can.
Put XDA on your device and you can read all around

You need to install KIES on your Desktop or Laptop ... If so, download ODIN from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=611625&d=1306787405
Just GOOGLE KIES and install !!!

easiest way
i rooted by using zedomax's method with zerglings.. you press like two buttons.
i have the i9100m, so not sure if it will work on "g"
he does say it will work on all varients
just search galaxys2root on google and he should be the first link
hope this helped! im a noob to the forum, but have been rooted for a month or so now

First, that's NOT zedomax's method. He regurgitated zergRush, which was the work of DoomLord and some other contributors - of which he was NOT one of. And I don't think he gave credit, either.
Second, I believe it doesn't work with newer releases of 2.3.6, which the OP is on.
Third, the OP already said he tried this method. (well, actually, he said "zerg". Pretty safe bet he meant this)

I figured you did, you asked a question in another thread I answered, where I told you explicitly to use G kernels.
However, I don't see any attempt on your part to "unbrick" your phone. Have you tried at all? Sometimes "bricked" phones are recoverable... How is it "bricked"? Does it boot? Can you get it into download mode if it can power on?

After i flashed kernel it wont boot but odin says PASS.. Idk why and i cant go to download.. Its a hard brick.. I already sent my phone to samsung customer care and i ask them if i can trade my g version for non g version, they gonna give my a new gt i9100 next week..

sorry, i knew that wasn't his method, i just meant he used it to root his phone. I wasnt meaning to give him ANY of the credit for it, although he does advertise it pretty well for noobs.
And i wasn't aware that it didn't work for the newer versions, i rooted not too long ago and it worked fine, but i don't think my carrier updates firmware often..
i was just letting him know my experiences
